Talli and Francis DeMarché
Talli had sat herself down outside, actually quite content with the relative silence around her part of town. Since everyone was off seeing the king, Talli was just glad to work on her Hand-Cannon outside without being pestered by clingy neighbours, or children. She was attempting to build in a sort of knob onto her weapon, tinkering with miniature magic dampeners and amplifiers to see if she could adjust the power of the weapon at will. She knew her invention could already obliterate targets without the need for spellcasting, but the problem was allowing it to do so efficiently. Francis had been walking quietly for a short while, when he heard the tapping of metal on metal.
Looking down, he found a small blue woman...with a rather large cannon.
"Hey there, miss...may I ask, why do you have a cannon like that with you?" he asks, unsure of what purpose it could serve. He did however note that she must be strong to use it, which intrigued him. Talli's feral ears perked up as the tall, dark and handsome man addressed her, and she spun her head around to look up at him. She smiled and chortled at the mention of her cannon, quickly hopping to her feet and hauling it up into her firm grip enthusiastically. "Oh, this baby is the Hand-Cannon! It's of my own design." Talli exclaimed with a proud smile. "I was just making a few adjustments to it after testing it on those dummies back there." she pointed a thumb over her shoulder at the clump of charred scarecrows. "Why do you ask?"
"I was a little amazed such a small lady could handle such a big weapon...makes me wonder what other large objects you could handle" he gives her a slight smirk and wink, to let her know what he'd meant by his words Leaning against a wall her gives her body a quick look over, she wasn't what you'd call voluptuous, but she was cute in her own way. He gave a moment of pause before smiling and adding "Maybe we could find out?"
Little Talli knitted her brows and tilted her head while she quietly read his expressions. He was smirking, as all rich people did when talking to such "Thesesian Lowlifes" like her. But he also winked. Odd... "Do you...want me to do some heavy lifting?" she questioned. Talli scratched the back of her head and held out an open palm, signifying that she was taking a confused shot in the dark with this. Though the innuendo hadn't completely passed her by, she was mostly oblivious to it, or was simply choosing to neglect it. "I'd be happy to earn a little extra gold."
"I suppose you could call it that" he says with a chuckle, his features softening "Though I don't think you'd want gold as a reward..." He knits his own brows and looks at her, unsure if the little blue lass even knew what sex was Let alone if she was currently
wanting it "I mean, the work is it's own reward, so to speak"
Talli's jaw slowly dropped, leaving her looking up at him clueless. "I'm...not following you here. Could you just tell me what you want already?" she implored, a clear sense of annoyance present in her tone, with an awkward disposition to boot. If it wasn't obvious already, this Pixie was not adept in the relationship department.
He lets out a bored sigh and rubs his forehead with a hand "Sex" he says bluntly, giving her a dull gaze "Do you get it now?"
He leans back and grunts a little, taking out a small tin and opening it, taking out a small cigar and lighting it with a look of almost dismissal on his face. It seemed she was either too stupid or too innocent to understand his advances, this bored him immensely.
Talli's moment of realization was nearly instantaneous, as her jaw shut again and her eyes widened. "Ohhhhhhhhh!" she uttered aloud with a growing smile, and rekindled eyes. Then, there was a long moment of silence while all of that washed away. "...Ohhhhhhhhh..." this time it was a mutter. She raised a hand and waved away the doubt with rosy cheeks and a sheepish smile. "I-I knew that."
"Of course you did" he says with a slight roll of his eyes, looking back to her and managing a smile, she at least knew what he was talking about, and seemed to know what sex was, which was good too "So, how about it, little lass?" he asks with a smile "Tell ya what...since you seem like you need some gold, I'll even split my latest earnings with you" he says with a slight smile "If...you earn it"
Talli opened her eyes again and looked down at her feet. "Okay...maybe I didn't..." She looked back up at the man with perked-up ears. "Wait, so...you're going to pay me?" Talli laughed. "Sounds great, haha!"
"Well...except for one little thing..." she said a tad shyly, and with a twiddle of her thumbs. He raised an eyebrow and looked at her with an interested gaze "Please, do tell" he says with a smile "What's wrong? I'm sure you and I can work together to figure out a solution to whatever it is" He smiled a little and waited for her to tell her his problem, a little curious as to what could be he an issue for the little blue girl...was it the size difference? Potential pregnancy? Something else?
"Well, the thing is...I've never really done this before." Talli pointed out bluntly. "I mean, don't me wrong, I know how it all works! But..." she rubbed her neck with some shy laughter. "I'm not too keen of the specifics, s-so to speak."
"You wouldn't mind helping a girl through her first time...would you?" Talli asked indirectly, giving Francis a pair of puppy-fog eyes that couldn't be resisted, and an imploring smile. "Not to mention our obvious differences, eheh..."
He smiles and nods with a slight chuckle "It'd be my honour to be your first time...maybe your second and third too..." he says, giving her a seductive wink "So...if you're ready, my place or yours?" he asks plainly. Talli returned his smile, finding it rather inspiring how easily he was taking this. She assumed he must do this alot...I mean, alot alot, judging from their conversation. But it didn't faze her, in fact it only made it easier to roll with him. She trusted people who had experience. "Your place." Talli responded awfully quick, without explaining why this time.
He quirks a brow and smiles "Sure thing, you wanna bring all that...stuff...with you?" he asks, pointing to her tools and the bits and pieces surrounding her in her work area "Whatever...that is" he mutters, not losing his smile for a moment "As for my place...it's in a slightly nicer part of town, so...don't be too hurt if someone makes a comment about you...they're a bunch of stuck up assholes who don't know how to have fun...and if they're nice, or they start winking...they're customers of mine...don't mind them either..."
He surveys her form once more as she decides her response, a little unsure of how he should feel about this whole ordeal, he'd never had sex with anything quite like her, and she seemed desirable enough...Yet he felt oddly...wrong in doing such a thing He shrugged it off as the feeling he normally got when considering sex with smaller beings, that he'd hurt her in some way, and reassured himself that he knew enough to know if she'd get injured.
Talli glanced at her equipment, then quickly looked back. "Oh, yeah! If that's fine with you, of course. I don't know what I'd do if I lost this stuff." She slowly hauled everything into arms, slinging most of it over her shoulders, including her cannon. It was ridiculous how so much weight wasn't outright crushing her.
Talli looked back up at him the second time he spoke, laughing cheerfully at his quip. "Oh yeah, I know the type. 'Kinda sad how some people don't follow in the king's example eh? Heheh..." After a little bit of walking, curiosity began to dawn on her. She knew she shouldn't get to know someone who's practically a man-whore very well, but...frankly, he'd been the first one to talk to her in awhile. And a human, no less! She had almost forgotten what it was like to talk to someone who stood twice as high. "So...what's your name?"
Francis smiled a little and looked down to her as they reached his house, taking a step inside, before bowing, taking one of her tiny blue hands and kissing it gently "Francis DeMarché" he says with a smile "Pleasure to meet you miss..." his words lingered as he waited for her answer with a smile. He was intrigued by her, that was a given, just how easily she'd taken him up, yet had never had sex before...maybe it was due to her being small and blue...but he'd seen enough gnomes and small creatures around to be sure someone would have taken interest in her...
Maybe she had some kind of size fetish? He didn't get why she was making her choices, but he would be enjoying her company, and she would be making some gold, so it seemed like a win-win situation. Talli smiled at Francis' charming ways, giggling almost childishly as he pulled her in and placed a kiss on the back of her hand with such swagger. "Aren't you just the sweetest?" she cooed, still recovering from her giddy laughter. "I'm Talli," she replied flatly, "It means 'hero'." Talli added on, exaggerating the translation with a sarcastically pretentious tone.
As for why she had picked him up on his offer...none of the people her size that she knew of interested her. And seeing Francis, well, Francis was the man every lady wanted. Her sense of hindsight was constantly nagging at her and telling her she couldn't build a relationship by having sex with someone who did it for a living, but she was still on the verge of maturity, and her juvenile hopes blinded her to the hurtful truths, even despite having been hit hard by them already. But Talli was still a girl who lived in the moment, wanting to seize whatever opportunities came her way, and Francis was like an angel descended from Heaven.
"I don't know if I'm the sweetest...you're pretty sweet...I'll have to taste you to find out..." he says with a wink as he steps further into the house, the simple yet stylish decor was elegant, but not snobby, and seemed to have both style and functionality in mind. He finally reached a door and opened it, revealing a large bed with red silk sheets "So, when you're ready, just let me know" he says with a smile "I wouldn't want to rush you, or anything, so I'll let you decide when you're ready"
Talli peered into his illustrious bedroom curiously, and was happily surprised at what she saw. "Ooh, fancy bed..." she complimented under her breath, just before looking back up at Francis with a grin. "Well..." Talli hopped up and quickly put her arms over his shoulders, holding herself up in front of him. "That's what I'm here for, right?" she teased, flinging her goggles off. "We can go through all the boring stuff later."
Needless to say... <Fade to Black>
