Ven didn’t like how that shop keep was looking at talyn as they talked. Which shouldn’t be a surprise given how territorial the gladiator tended to be..
He growls, tail lashing behind him as he watches from the distance- having been asked to keep an eye on the pairs previous purchases. However, the flirtatious expression the stranger had on his face was getting too annoying to deal with.
So, he stalks up behind talyn- wrapping an arm tightly around his waist and settling his chin on his lovers shoulder- glaring daggers at the shop keeper as he turns his face just enough to press his lips to talyns neck.
“Y’ taking too long.”

To his credit, the shopkeep was a pretty attractive man. Half-elven with shoulder length brown hair tied back in a loose ponytail and bright silvery-blue eyes. Had the situation been any different, Talyn might have actually given him a chance but he had no interest in the man despite his persistence.
Just as Ven walked up, the man had been trying to ask Talyn to dinner, to which he’d been in the process of holding up a hand and declining the offer when he felt a presence behind him. He nearly jumped, before realizing who it was.
“O-oh um.. right! Sorry, Ven.” He gasped past the hitch in his breath when he felt his lover’s lips against his neck, earning a little shiver from Talyn.
Quickly, Talyn finished the exchange of coin, bidding a hasty goodbye to the shopkeep (who, despite the venomous glare he received, offered a wink Talyn’s way), before grabbing Ven’s hand and leading him away.
Undeniably, Talyn’s face was tinted a deep shade of red as he secured their new purchases and hastily made his way out of the store, flustered and embarrassed all at once. But.. in a way he was thankful. He’d been having a hard time convincing the shopkeep that he wasn’t interested (and technically taken for that matter) and Vendetta stepping in was probably the best way to send that message.

As they walked, Talyn shifted to link his free arm with Ven’s. He was tense, his jaw clenching a bit as he kept his eyes to the ground.
“Sorry.. I was trying to tell him..”
