“Some Call it Foolishness” F!DB/Marcurio 5/?
Date: 2014-08-15 08:16 am (UTC)"Do try not to set off any traps, will you?"
The Dragonborn arched a delicate brow. “You’d be wise to take your own advice, mage.”
“As if I’d fall for something so pitifully elementary!” He scoffed.
“I would think your use of sparks falls into that category.”
“The spell is ‘Chain Lightning’, and it is anything but elementary!”
“I think Commander Caius would beg to differ.” She said sardonically.
“That was an accident! The man got in my way!” The man was predictably upset. As was his fellow Imperial’s response:
“Thus proving my point that you need to improve your strategy in close quarters.” The Dragonborn punctuated her retort with a poke in his side.
“Hey! That was completely unnecessary!” His hands flew to his sides.
“What is unnecessary,” she managed to poke him again, “is your attitude, my dear.”
“I think you like my attitude just fine!” He challenged.
“And I think you like when I poke you.” She smirked.
Marcurop rolled his eyes, “How professional.”
“Indeed!” She poked him in the side again.
“This is a horrible abuse of my person, and a great disregard of my talents!” He whined.
“And yet here you are, following me into a lair full of warlocks…”
“Utter foolishness.” The mage grumbled.
“You mean the inhabitants or yourself?”
He gave her a withering look. "What some call devotion to the dark arts, I call foolishness."
She was unfazed, “And what of the fools that pursue them?”
“Does it matter, if they get paid?”
The woman gave him a hard look and said nothing.

Date: 2014-08-15 08:18 am (UTC)"Rogue wizards. I've never trusted magic types...”
Marcurio’s eyes shot to his employer, trying to gauge her expression. Nothing.
“Good hunting, sister?”
The Dragonborn smiled, “It’s hardly hunting without a chase.” Now there were two sets of predatory female eyes upon him. Not good.
“Well, you should see Vilkas, then. He’ll have something interesting for you to sink your teeth into.”
“Not today, Aela.” She nodded in his direction, “I found an ‘expert on Nordic history’ he ought to meet.”
“Him?” the Huntress laughed. “I’m sure sure Vilkas would love to hear what an Imperial mage has to say about his heritage.”
“Quite.”
Marcurio tried to intervene on his behalf, “Pardon me, my lady, but why do I get the impression that you’re about to throw me to the dogs?”
Perhaps that had been the wrong thing to say.
Aela’s eyes narrowed, Farkas tensed, and the Dragonborn had a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.
“My! Is the ‘master of the arcane’ afraid of a ‘common warrior’?” She drolled.
“My skill in battle is unmatched, and you know it!”
“I know that your skill with weaponry requires work. You won’t always have enough magicka at your disposal.”
“Speaking from experience?”
Marcurio froze, uncertain if he had just outed her. Most Nords did not take kindly to mages, and if she valued her relationship with these people, this was bound to end badly. But curse it, she had been baiting him!
She surprised him by snorting instead. “Don’t be ridiculous! I take on dragons at least twice a week.”
That wasn’t a real answer, but he choked on his retort when she poked him in the ribs.
“Surely you’ve seen the preparations I make for such things, or have your eyes failed you?”
He fumbled for words. Had her associates realized the nature of her reply? Or did they know and not care? There was nothing on either of the Companions’ faces that he could easily gauge.

Date: 2014-08-15 08:20 am (UTC)This time, he didn’t bother calling for help when she assaulted his sides.
He was saved however, by another man’s voice.
“What is this foolishness?”
Aela turned to greet him, “Vilkas! I see you’ve come to watch the show.”
Marcurio made a strangled noise in protest.
“He’s not very good.” Farkas added.
Marcurio collapsed to the floor, gasping for breath.
“Harbinger?” Vilkas began warily, “What is the meaning of this?”
Marcurio struggled to regain his bearings, but it was hard to focus. Harbinger? Did he just call her the…
“Nothing much. Just hoping you could show a mouthy mage a thing or two about swordsmanship.” The Dragonborn replied brightly.
“Another one?” The man groaned.
“Oh, come now brother, I can’t have been that bad!” She chided him.
That surprised the aspiring wizard. Wait. So they did know?
Aela laughed, “You say that as though you didn’t give him a sound beating that day, sister.”
“That was fun to watch.” Farkas smiled.
Vilkas glowered at the present company before addressing their leader once more. “Is this necessary? Any one of us seem more than a match for the likes of him.”
He would later blame it on the lack of air, but at the moment, Marcurio simply reacted to the dismissal.
“What, afraid to take me on and test that theory of yours?”
Oh, that was definitely the wrong thing to say…

Date: 2014-08-15 08:23 am (UTC)Marcurio gaped in indignation, “But you haven’t even seen…!”
“I don’t need to.” The Nord turned his back on the group and walked away.
Farkas came over and dragged the spellcaster to his feet. “You’d better hurry to the courtyard if you want to make good on your challenge.”
“He’s right, Marcurio. Just remember the rules that Vilkas lays out, or I’ll have to remind you.” The Dragonborn poked him playfully in the ribs by way of demonstration.
“Just so you know, I’m quitting your service for this.” He snapped.
“You hear that, everyone? He’s free and at your disposal!”
“That’s not what I meant!”
She ignored him, “I’ll be wanting my money back.”
“And leave me stranded with no way to leave this place?”
She responded with mock sympathy, “I’m sure you can find work as a mercenary.”
“And compete with the Companions? I think not.” He grumbled.
The Dragonborn cocked an eyebrow in response. “What’s this? Losing your confidence?”
“No,” Marcurio sighed, “Just my health…”
She merely laughed in response.
Her associate Aela shared in her amusement. “This should be good.”
