She was going to make this difficult wasn’t she? Did she even shut up enough to sleep? Not that he really cared, so long as she wasn’t up all night. He only needed a few hours, and that he was reasonably confident he could manage to get.
Pulling the blanket off him, he raised an eyebrow and dropped it on top of her unceremoniously. “We are not cuddling.”
heart song.
“Y’know you’re our main healer, right?” Cadence asks, a hint of concern underlying her joking tone. She swishes the bloodied rag around in the water and brings it back to the cleric’s arm. It isn’t a bad cut (one of them would’ve used healing magic if it was), but seeing Lenny hurt at all always sparks an aching pressure in Cadence’s chest that she doesn’t know how to deal with. She sets the rag down and begins dressing the wound. “And I know you’ve got that really sick-ass armor and I know you can protect yourself but….” She trails off into silence as she finishes up the bandaging. She stares at her handiwork a moment longer before bringing her eyes up to meet Lenny’s. “But I want to protect you. And I’m not gonna tell you not to charge head-on at goblins but maybe it isn’t the safest thing to do so I just wanna ask that… you….” She looks down. “That you be more careful.”
it stings -- there’s no question about it. how could it not? the goblin had found just a sliver of unprotected skin, but that was enough to slice open her arm. it was dead now, and she was grateful for that, but her arm was still aching, and she was curled up against the wall, their bard working to clean it up the best she could. cadence’s concern is even worse, makes her chest ache, and lenny squirms, watching the bandage as a way to avoid eye contact -- they’re both studiously looking away, as the halfling gives her half hearted lecture. “ i -- i just don’t like standing back and watching you all get hurt, “ she finally replied, lifting cornflower blue eyes up to meet the bard’s gaze.
“ i have armor, and a mace, and i just thought maybe i should take point, instead of staying back and throwing fire that never seems to hit. i don’t want to be like james. “

“Hey garbage boy!” Cadence calls over to the human as she strides towards him, bucket and rag in hand. She gestures with her head in the direction of the nearby stream. “Come on, it’s bath time.” Before he can respond, she grabs him by the wrist and starts trying to pull him up, the height difference making it difficult. “And I’m not taking ‘no’ for an answer,” she continues undeterred, grinning at him. “You smell bad.”
Being pulled to his feet, or rather being jerked onto his knees momentarily prior to trying to get up properly and follow her, James’ held back any complaint. As much as he would have liked to have refuted her comment he really couldn’t at all deny it. Hiding it that pile of trash really had not been his smartest move. The only reason he hadn’t gone and had a wash of his own accord was the fact that it was too dark away from the campfire for him to actually see anything.
“Well I suppose I did bring soap with me at least... Wait a moment, are you only doing this to steal my soap due to not bringing your soap? Or is this because I can heat up water of my own accord and don’t want to do so yourself?“

Emo boy? The comment earned her a raised eyebrow and a look that said ‘really?’. She was right though. This town, the abandoned house the Redbrands were hiding out in, something just seemed off about it all. He stared at the warm cup of tea in his hands, an ear twitching occasionally as he tried to think how to put it into words. Eventually he just shook his head, glancing up at his friend sitting on the table.
“I’m just thinking.”

“We ran face first into a creepy cave dwelling, one eyed telepathic thing, there’s Redbrand members somewhere and the trust fund baby discovered there’s shambling skeletons hanging around and there’s places that we still haven’t gone yet. I don’t know about you, but in my book? That more than qualifies as an excuse to be on edge.”
