 The evening sky was just setting over the small town as Arphenion lingered by the edge of the marketplace, debating if he should check into a tavern for the night. It was warm out, just the way he liked it. The cattaur was having a debating if he should enjoy the fresh night air, or just sleep in a comfortable bed.
He caught the eyes of several of young female cattauresses, watching him, some giggling at him cutely, and others with a small smirk on their lips. Arphenion couldn't help but give them all a lustful gaze topped with a small smile, as he purred. Perhaps, a tavern would do, he suddenly decided. One of the females might be willing to spend the night with him.
And that's how he liked it.

 With a bag of a successful shopping day in hand, Clara padded briskly down the center of the main path through the market. A small shawl drapped her shoulders against the cooling evening air. Her eyes travelled along the stalls and store windows, doing a little window shopping as she left. Maybe she would grab something to eat before going home? She licked her lips at a small meat stand filled with exotic medallions of meat from off the isles. Yes, something small to tide her over until she got home...

Arphenion walked through the marketplace, in no rush looking for a nice cozy tavern to spend the night in. There were many females (and some males) that gave him a secret wink or smile, some even blew him a kiss. He took all that in stride, a wide smile on his face, acknowledging the gestures. Though, none of them really appealed to him. Sure, they were pleasing to the eye, but, would he be able to spend a whole night with them?
The cattaur couldn't help but sigh a little, scanning the area looking for someone that would be worthwhile. His brown eyes gleamed, seeing a brown cattauress standing in front of the meat stand. Sure, he could only see her from the back, but that purple bodice she was wearing was more that enough to tell him that yes, she was quite a beauty and she (and him) would be more than honored to spend the night together.
He slowly crept up behind her, mere inches away from ear as he couldn't help but let out a small purr, "Instead of eating alone tonight, how about you have dinner with me?"

Pointing out a few pieces of the expensive meats to the stall owner, she nearly drops the money she was handing over when a voice croons into her ear so close from behind. Turning to look, Clara immediately narrowed her eyes and takes a step away to the side, the tip of her tail twitching in offense. "What makes you think I was to be eating alone?" Yeah, she planned to eat alone, but that wasn't the point. Who did he think he was creeping up on her like that?

Arphenion tilted his head slightly, unused to that type of reaction. "Well...you look lonely I suppose..." the male said, tapping his chin slightly, making sure to keep his distance for the time being, he could tell that she was not like the other females he encountered, like the sweet Ayela or the fiery Ilonka.
"I meant no harm, and I certainly didn't mean to frighten you miss." he said, giving her a low bow, "But I would be honored if you would have dinner with me." and maybe something else, but he should take it slow for now.

Clara shook her head, hair bouncing gently around her face as she accepted the bag of meat from the stall owner. "And you think you're going to rescue me from my supposed loneliness, wisk me away to a magical night?" She raised her nose ever so slightly, turning from the stall and walking past the male. "I bet you think I'd want to thank you for the dinner afterward. Hoping for fleshy dessert?" She ticked her tongue, figuring this would be enough to deter the unelicited attention. Worked with most males who tried to take her home.

As startling as this female's attitude was towards him, Arphenion didn't let it faze him. That much. "If you want me to." he shrugged slightly, "'Fleshy dessert'?" Arphenion wrinkled his nose slightly. Such an ugly word. And he wasn't that type of male anyways. He always did everything for a woman. Yep, yep. "Unless if you want me to..." he said slowly, choosing his words trying not to annoy her any further as he followed after her, "I would only want to get to know you better...by mouth." Wait. That came out wrong. "Er...I mean." he cleared his throat, "By talking. Talking."

She threw a withering look over her shoulder. "Does it look like I want you to." She scoffed, walking on. She turned in surprise, a hand going to her chest and wide blue eyes staring. By mouth?! When Arphy thought it sounded bad, of course she would think it sounded bad too. "Ugh! I think you've done enough talking." She huffed, turning her back to him again.

"Ah please! I didn't mean to offend you!" he continued after her to put a hand on her shoulder. Not to touch her or feel her soft skin with his rough fingers, but to stop her so he could just talk to her. "I don't know if we've met before and I've offended you somehow, but if I have I sincerely apologize." He didn't think he met her before, but then again, he could have.

Clara paused, turning her head to glare at the hand on her shoulder. His apology encouraged her to shrug off his hand. "And here I thought I wasn't that forgetable." Let him figure out whether she meant they had met before or not. Turning again, she was surprised to see a small group of females off to the side giving her the female death glare. "If you belong to someone already, you should keep dinner to yourself." She scolded him.

"Well..." he had been with a lot of females, after a while, it was hard to remember each and every female. And male. "Belong to someone?" Arphenion shook his head sadly, seeing the gaggle of females not too far away. "Sadly, love has been very elusive to me. I don't have someone."
"Though...may I ask why you are so cold towards me?" he asked softly, edging closer to her as his hand trailed down from her shoulder to her wrist.

"Gee, I wonder why." She mumbled under her breath, rolling her eyes at the females. "But you've tried." She seethed, shifting her bag to her other hand.
Feeling his hand travel, she instantly pulled her hand away and stepping back again. The group of girls tittered softly to themselves. "Because you seem to think that dinner and some sweet talking will get you a night with whomever you please." She scowled, turning her back and resuming her walk. About now, some of the harder to shake males would have given her up as a lost cause.

Arphenion stepped closer to her, taking her bags from her, as an attempt to be courteous. And also, it was quite rude for a woman to carry so many bags when there was a capable male (him) around. "You know..." he said slowly, "Spending the night with someone isn't always like that." he said, reading her mind perfectly. "You can usually talk the whole night away. Getting to know someone...you know? this time making sure to say his words properly without offending her. For probably the first time, he ignored the females and continued to follow after her.

Feeling her bags shift, she clutched tighter to them. "No thank you." She said stiffly, pulling the bags closer to herself. Did he think she couldn't carry her own purchases? The shocked titters of the females softened as they got further away. Gosh, how did some women get so stupid?
She shook her head. "I know that. The question is, do you? Creeping up behind a lady, and yes, you did creep up, isn't very encouraging to thinking you have proper thoughts on your mind."

"Yes...I do know that." Arphenion replied, "And I'm not the monster you keep thinking I am." he said, feeling a little hurt, "Sure, I can enjoy those 'unproper things', but I always put a female's demands and wants before mine." he said, trying to defend himself.
"Well...I guess I have to apologize for 'creeping' up on you." To him, it didn't look that bad, but whatever had made this woman so skewed must've made it look bad.
