"I'll make sure they get rid of the clothes." he replied, trying to look casual.
He was rather taken aback by her reaction to the discovery of blood on her clothing. As a healer, she should be used to seeing blood. He frowned, keeping this to himself, knowing he'd just get chided for bringing it up.
Ka'da was momentarily distracted as he relayed the information to the proprietor. He waved the man away, rather impatiently and returned to stand by her side, as they waited for the proprietor to make the arrangements.
"Why do you ask? Do you have clothing that's not as proper or traditional as the clothing that you're wearing? If you need more clothing, I can get one of the guards to go get something more to your liking, and that will depict you in a more...favorable manner. As to the Matron's tastes, she does tend to be rather traditional when it comes to clothing, though none of my sisters are. Results do tend to be what she expects, but she also expects everyone who works with her to dress according to her tastes." Ka'da replied, casting a look down at the cloth that she as fingering in her hand with an inquisitive look.

His answer did not help her much in her descion making. Still... If she was a traditional sort of Matron that preferred results it could mean that she was one of those that expected you to do your job effectively and remain in a agreeable state. Yallinda's brows knit together throughfully. As Ka'da would mention having clothing selected for her..hmmm..she was rather tempted to accept that offer. Her red eyes lifted to see him looking curiously at the cloth she was holding currently.
"My last outfit. it's much like the style I am currently wearing. The reason I bring it up is..." And here she lifted the top from her bag, holding it up, she presented it towards ka'da and nodded her head towards it. "Inhale. It has the herbal scent of some of my medicines clinging to it. That is why I haven't worn it much. I do not know if having the scent of a herb will go over well with your Matron or not. On one hand it speaks volumes for my profession, and I believe it will give me a more credible sense when I explain my skills are more then just mere prayers. Then again..on the other hand..."
Yallinda glanced down at the purple top with a wry twist of her lips. "On the other hand... I will smell like some strange plant most likely and that alone will announce my presence before anything else. I'm certain it is not overpowering but... I am wondering if it would be best if you picked me out something you knew your matron would approve of, or if I should just try to have my outfit washed. At this moment I could not care what opinions your sisters will have of me. I'd walk in naked if you believed your matron would be impressed enough to take me in from such a display."

Ka'da was rather aghast that she had actually asked his opinion. He politely leaned over and sniffed the clothing, taking in the herbal scent. Like she had said, it wasn't particularly overwhelming, in fact, it was a rather pleasant smell. He sniffed the clothing again, his forehead furrowing as he considered her dilemma.
"Actually, that's a very nice smell. The Matron Mother tends to use perfumes all the time, though she doesn't care for the scents some of my sisters use, since they tend to use too much at a time. I don't think she'll have a problem with it. It actually...would be a good way to come into the House. If she catches scent of the herbs, it will put her in a good mood, she's been wanting a healer who can deal in herbs as well as with prayers. She'd definitely be impressed."
Ka'da's eyes almost popped out of his head, when Yallinda spoke about walking into his House naked. He began to sweat and fumble with the collar of his shirt. He tried to keep the image of Yallinda's very well endowed chest from springing back into his mind, but was rather unsuccessful.
"U-uh I d-don't think naked would be a very good option." He stammered, trying to advert his face to the ground, so she wouldn't notice the blood that was now rushing to his face. "They'd probably end up jealous, seeing as...uh...they have no...chests to speak of yet."
Ka'da almost immediately wished he could take back his words the moment they escaped his mouth. He had no idea where he had gotten the nerves to say such a thing to Yallinda. He truly was, loosing any regard of fear for this female. He wasn't sure if this was a good or bad thing. He figured it would be the end of him here shortly, as Yallinda would probably take offense at his words.

Yes. She was rather fortunate that the more pleasent scents had managed to seep into the cloth. had she smelled like Ghastrag she surely would have thrown out the outfit long ago and she'd be forced to re-wear the death stained cloths she was in now..or whatever Ka'da managed to scrounge up for her in time to meet the matron.
Yallinda nodded her head, and after his last inhalation, she tucked the garment back into her healers bag and gave him a slight nodding of her head. "Very well then. I'll wear this outfit to meet your matron. Hmmmn."
Yallinda tilted her head as she considered his sisters. They sounded downright whoreish. Clothing the matron did not care for? Heavy purfume scents? She was not going to fit in too well. What with her preference for delicate looks and scents. Perhaps this would work best though. If she continued to appear as a non-threatening outsider she might be able to ease herself in further then she had first thought. What were the odds of appeaseing the matron enough for adoption? Honestly. No one ever took healers seriouse enough. This was such a opportunistic profession!
And thinking of opportunisitic... Yallinda caught the sound of Ka'da's stammering and lifted her red eyes to the male. How adoreable.... It was hard for her to resist attempting to take him right then and there. Honestly...if he were a second son perhaps. But as a first son she should just---
Yallinda's eyes dropped down to the curves of her own chest. Blinking at them, she tried to imagin these 'whore sisters' of his with small or no chests. In the next few seconds, a very slow smile replaced her blank expression. This male blew hot then cold it seemed.
"Why...Rihn... are you saying these sisters of yours are as flat chested as little boy's? Your just flattering me aren't you? If you keep this up I'm going to forget what you said to me in the carrige you know." She lifted a finger to gently shake it at Ka'da. "Honestly. if I didn't know any better I'd think from your latests actions that perhaps your not as mean as you seemed in there..."

Ka'da could only stare back at Yallinda truly aghast at what she was assuming about his sisters. Sure, so he had let a stupid barb slip from his lips about how his sisters would be jealous of her chest, which as truly a stupid thing to say. Especially since, most of them didn't really care about their womanly charms being so young. Though goodness knew soon enough they would be using flattery, charm and deception to wheedle favors and things they had need of out of any male they set their sights on.
Ka'da groaned inwardly.
It was just what he needed. A female who believed him to actually be interested in her. Though...it was for the most part true. Yallinda did intrigue him. There were things that he wanted to ask her about her travels and what sort of wounds she had healed. Though...she probably wouldn't be too forthcoming about that, seeing as she didn't care for all the blood and gore. She'd probably be pretty tight lipped about what she had seen, since she wanted to forget it.
"Not really...they just..oh never mind. That was a rather stupid thing of me to say to you. I apologize for that. Now...shall we get cleaned up and then head out? While the Matron isn't really expecting you, I'm supposed to be back with my task complete." Ka'da told her.
Perhaps he should tell her about the task, that way she wouldn't be offended. Or perhaps she would let him have her old dress, that would work. Its not like she would keep it now that it was splattered with blood.
"Uh, 'Linda I have something to tell you. I was actually sent out on a taks today. My sisters think up these strange tests and tasks for me to accomplish everyday. And today's well...was rather unusual. They wanted me to bring back women's clothing. I suppose as proof that I had uh...spent time with a woman. Forgive me if this is all crude, my sisters have a rather strange sense of humor. I had intended to do as the task entailed, but when I discovered you to be a healer, I saw a way to fulfill two things at once. The task, and the empty position of healer in our house. I figured that, since they never said the female couldn't be in the woman's clothing that they couldn't object if I brought you home. Though, if you aren't going to save your ruined dress, might I use it for the task?"

Yallinda was feeling...much better. So long as she focused on the present she was comeing along quite well. As Ka'da began to speak his apology Yallinda lited a hand and waved for him to stop. "Oh do not apologize Rihn! I appreciate all of your opinions. Though I do agree. I want to get cleaned up and...eh?" Task?
Yallinda's returning smile fell as she turned to look at Ka'da. As he explained the nature of his sisters, and the task that he had been sent on... Yallinda felt her face growing flush with anger. Her purple lips did not turn downwards into a pout at this new offense. Though they did thin with the rise of her temper.
"Oh I see...so when you bought me that drink earlier you were thinking to get the houseless begger of a travler out of her cloths for some peverse entertainment? Oh you...You...YOU!" She sputtered for just a moment, her purple painted nails curled into fists and Yallinda spun on her heel to place her back to Ka'da. "t'zarreth resk'afar!!!" She shouted the curse with such force her eyes even closed. Still with her back to Ka'da, she began to stiffly walk towards the opposite side of the room.

Ka'dairihn was rather surprised when she waved away his apology and began to agree with him. The surprise was rather short lived. In moments, after he had finally concluded summing everything up to her, she began to look rather angry with him.
The words that spewed from her lips rather stung him, when she began to rage at him. He could understand why, though he couldn't help but feel rather horrified that she thought he had considered her to be nothing more than a beggar. And then...she called him the name that his sisters usually referred to him behind his back.
It made him rather...sad. He had after all, pretty much acted like the males that he disliked. he sighed, and hung his head in contrition. And yet, the feeling of indignation managed to rise, at her horrible assessment of him.
"First off, I never intended to steal your clothes. I intended to bring you...fully clothed to my House, so I could conclude the damn task. I didn't ask them to think up such a ludicriss task in the first place, you'll have to take that up with my sisters. I just have to complete them...or I get whipped or worse. Secondly, the only reason why I bought you a drink was because I was nervous, and I didn't think you'd even give me the time of day, let alone insist on sitting with me." After these words, Ka'da strode after her, grabbed her loosely by the shoulder and spun her around to face him.
"Thirdly, I would never let anyone hurt you, let alone myself. I think...I...am falling for you, sweet beautiful 'Linda!" And with that, Ka'da pulled Yallinda to him, his lips covering hers and drawing in the full softness of them as he lost himself in his first kiss.

She was so angry. So very mad. Yallinda had nns allowing her insulted anger showing. Like many drow woman she was given to her passions. Anger and rage, along with sadistic glee and varying forms of manipulative desires. She really was very typical. However, her station placed limitations on how far or how often she could indulge. Like now. Right now she'd have been gratifyingly satisfied to turn about and smack Ka'da as a form of physical release to her insult. To take her anger out on a male would have been grand. If the male she had managed to seduce back in the caravan had not lost his pretty looks she certainly would have taken her vexation out on him! But...a ugly scarred male hardly served to ease her frustrations.
Yallinda's shoulders did not lose their stiffness even as Ka'da began his verbal defense. Yallinda remained unmoved and unforgiving as he explained his actions. His true intentions. The reason behind the drink. It did not matter to Yallinda. He was partly true about the drink. But only partly. If she had been given time to survay the room and he had proven to be the only attractive male present she certainly would have moved in on him. That was a moot point anyways, because the past would remain unchanged, and Yallinda's stiffened back remained unsoftened.
At least until it was that he took her by the shoulder and turned her about. Yallinda's red eyes widened at his boldness. Even if he was a Son of a House, and she just a Houseless drow, he was still being far too forwards! His choosen words were far more shocking then his actions. Well...Maybe not too much more shocking. Yallinda felt herself to be perplexed by his admission. He had to be playing at something. But the kiss was a gamble too foolish to be anything other then honest. Yallinda found herself pulled against Ka'da and his lips pressed rather firmly over her own.
Well! This wasn't exactly what she had been intending at all! Oh sure, she had been hoping to obtain his interest. But this sort of reaction was not something she had antipicated or planned on manipulating. Her stunned mind needed a few moments to wrap itself around the event.
Obviously...Ka'darihn was emotionally weak. To say such things! To react such a way! He was hardly a drow male at all! Still...just because he was not typical did not make him useful.
Yallinda forced her muscles to loosen, she her body seemed to relax in the arms wrapped about her. Actually this was something she'd been wanting anyways. Ka'da did have a nice frame for a male. The kiss was a bonus. She would not have expected him to have the boldness to actually initiate a kiss. As it was that he had though, she returned it, her own lips pressing with only a small amount of pressure back. He said he would not let anyone hurt her...
So perhaps if she could contain herself a bit she could further develop the weaker image that she had created. Someday she'd be able to cast it off...but...not for a long time she supposed. It worked to her benefit if she was viewed as less of a threat or danger. Only a healer. A weak little healer whose purpose was to mop up the mess after battle. Well..if this did not further encourage that image Yallinda was not certain what else she could possibly do.
Besides...it would be incredibly useful to have a male that was smitten with her as a protector. She wouldn't have to pay for his services, she could get all sorts of little benefits...if she pretended to be frightened by these sisters of his perhaps she could convince him to sleep in her bed with her. Oooh! A Rihn bed warmer! Now that was something she could really come to appreciate!
"Mmm..." She murmured against Ka'da's lips as she warmed herself up to the idea. Well. It was not exactly what she had planned, but that did not mean she could not make use of it.

Ka'da hadn't really been planning to kiss Yallinda, it just sort of happened. First he was talking about the task and admitting to how he had manipulated and used her and the next he was professing his love for her. The emotions coursing through him were rather foreign and had opened up a side of him that wanted to be expressive and then it had. Through the initiated kiss.
Gods, was he in for it now! He thought miserably, as his lips were over hers. Any moment now and she'd smack him upside the head and start beating on him. Surprisingly though, she returned the kiss, letting her body relax in his arms. Ka'da almost dropped her in shock but managed to not let go of her as she moaned softly against his lips.
Ka'da slowly withdrew his mouth from hers, his eyes flitting around the room. He was rather embarrassed to see the owner and several servants openly gawking at them. Before Yallinda could open her eyes and see the looks they were receiving, Ka'da pulled her off into a small alcove and pulled the curtains around them so that they might have some privacy.
It wasn't until Ka'da was alone with her, and staring into her eyes that he realized with a sudden clarity what he had just done.
Oh gods! I just kissed a female without consent! Lloth take me! She'll kill me! My Matron will kill me when she finds out! I've accosted a female! Oh holy blackened pits! What will my sisters do to me when they find out?!
With every thought and question that went through his mind Ka'da grew more and more fearful and horrified at what he had done.
"Can you forgive me?" he croaked out finally, feeling his throat seize up, making it difficult to speak. "I-I don't quite know what came over me or what possessed me to accost you like that. I'm really quite sorry, Yallinda. What can I do to return to your good graces?" Ka'da found himself on his knees, his eyes on the floor as he tried to steady his breathing and be as contrite as he could.
Just the thought of what the Matron might allow his sisters to do to him for punishment was enough for him to wish he could take back the kiss. It really wasn't worth it in the long run, at least not for him. For everyone else, it would be a day full of fun and merciless torturing. He shuddered at the thought, remembering the last punishment he had received.

It had been a surpriseingly nice kiss. Not at all like the hard eager kisses she was used to. he hadn't even grabbed her anywhere yet. Such a good little male! Once again Yallinda was struck by how utterly perfect this set up could be for her. If only she could manage to manipulate it properly. She began to open her eyes, though her mind was racing over what her next action should be. Should she swoon? Feign more weakness? Should she show a tempered ire? No to that last. So long as she was working with the image of being weak and defenseless she figured that brief flashs of anger over 'hurt feelings' would be fine. But this--- Gah!
When Ka'da dragged her into the nitch and pulled the curtain shut she was wondering if she might have to revise her plans and her opinion of the male. Yet when it was he dropped to his knees, rather then dropping his pants, she felt that wandering flit away. He was terribly whipped. She could see now, that he had pulled away, the traces of fear and anxiety. She was surprised he had not broken out into a sweat already!
Yallinda placed her hands gently upon her hips. Her head tilted downwards as she listened to the fool practically beg her to take advantage of him. Of course she would! Accosted...he felt he had accosted her Well, by taking that kiss he had in a sense. Hmm... She tilted her head a little to look at the closed curtain. Alone as they were, she could do anything at all right now. Part of her wanted to be utterly and visciously greedy and drag the boy upstairs to one of the private rooms..well..why not? He was asking for her forgiveness...he was asking what he could do to regain her favor.
Yallinda lifted a hand and pressed her fingertips to her lips in a mock gesture of uncertainty. Mostly it was to surpress the smile as she forced her words to come out a little choked. "I have never... I am just...so very upset now. I...I don't know what to do." Hell fire yes she did! It was incredibly hard to hold herself back though! "Today has been so terrible and horrible and I..I..." It wasn't half as hard as one might have expected to squeeze a pair of ters out of the corners of her eyes as she did everything she could to appear distressed.
"I...I need my bath... Once I've changed maybe I'll have calmed down enough to think clearly."

Ka'da watched her, as she stared down at him with those big doe eyes that she had. He felt exhaustion run through him, as he reclined on one knee in front of her, awaiting her reply. Today..had in a sense had been much more demanding on him than any other day. His emotions were becoming muddled, and messing with him...he sorely wished he could disregard them as callously as his sisters did. Unfortunately, that was one thing that he had inherited from his Patron. It had...he had learned years ago, been his Patrons' downfall in the end.
He found himself losing his thoughts as he drowned in the red twin pools of Yallinda's eyes. It was something that had never happened to him before. It was almost euphoric and...almost psychedelic. He'd only been on the receiving end of mushroom dust once, but that had been enough for him to remember the out of mind experience it produced. This...was much like that.
He tensed up slightly when she began to speak, but became rather distressed when she began to tremble and have a hard time when she began to speak to him. He was even more alarmed when tears fell from the corners of her eyes. He immediately stood up, and wrapped his arms around her, hugging her close, trying to comfort her as best as he could.
"Yes of course, that would probably be wise. I'm really sorry for everything that's happened to you today. I'll do what I can to turn this into a good day for you. If you'd like I'll see you to your room to make sure you're alright. Will an hour be long enough for you to relax and get cleaned up?"

OoooOoooooOOo! she was so going to take advantage of this. And by this she meant Ka'da himself. Even as he folded her into his arms she felt a thrill running down her spine. Of course she leaned into his hug. Her face she buried into his neck to hide the slight smile on her lips. He had such niiiice strong arms. Oh! She wanted to lay in them and just bask in the warmth of his body for a few hours!
Yallinda made her head shift up and down a bit in response to his offer. Though inwardly she had such naughty peverted ideas as to how he could make good on his foolish offer.
"Yes please. I feel a bit shakey right now." She replied with her little pout upon her lips. Oh Ka'Da! She wanted to just wrap him up in a leash and collar and...and...lick him all over! Inwardly she felt like squealing as she let him escort her upwards to the room. Though..once they were there she was loathing to let him go. A part of her wanted to drag him on in with her but...ah...best not to scare him away!
"You'll be waiting for me when I'm done right? You won't leave me alone?"

Ka'da felt a slight twinge of annoyance at how clingy Yallinda was becoming, but kept from saying anything. She was after...all rather fragile. Of course a female would be scared and a bit clingy after being accosted by the vile lowlifes of Llurth Dreir.
He escorted her to the room that the proprietor had readied for her use, and was bout to leave her to her business and go about cleaning himself up a bit when she asked if he would stay waiting for her. He was rather surprised by the request, and a bit annoyed. He didn't want to arrive dirty and covered in blood when he returned to the House, seeing as the Matron hated seeing his armor wasn't being cared for properly. However, he'd rather not let Yallinda down when the request was something so simple.
"Sure, I'll be right here. I can get one of the workers to get me what I need to clean up while I wait for you. Unless you'll allow me to clean up before you. That way we'll both be presentable when we leave. Unless...you have an adversion to seeing a male half naked."
Ka'da clearly wasn't thinking properly.

Yallinda felt a sense of satisfaction when he would agree to wait for her. Her lips curled upwards into a smile, that quickly grew with his following words.
"Oh Rihn! You rascal!" She fluttered a hand over her lips to smother a strange little giggle. Mind a naked male indeed!! If only he had half a clue! "There is no need to worry about that. If you wanted to join me in my bath you only had to say so! I was wondering why a male would seem so gentle and now I think I know!"
Yallinda gestured with her hand in a manner of invintation and she pushed her rooms door open. It was best, she assumed, to make it seem like she wasn't giving him a order. It would only help her image she assumed.
"But don't expect much!" She added as a light warning. "I'm not that type of female. I'm not shy but I'm certainly not...well...like that." By the Goddess yes she was! But...she was quite fond of this game and she wanted ever so badly to keep this male around for a long time. She'd just have to gauge his fighting skills later to ensure he didn't end up horrible scarred. That would just ruin everything!

If Ka'da had been a lighter color, he would have looked bright red upon hearing what Yallinda said to him. As it was, his being so dark colored, it helped to keep his embarrassment from being so apparent. Ka'da opened and closed his mouth a few times, trying to find the words to protest what Yallinda had assumed about him.
She thought he wanted to bath with her! Just the thought made him want to turn on his heels and run for his life. As it was, he couldn't really do so, not with having promised to stay with her. So, rather reluctantly he followed her into the room, keeping his face down, hoping she couldn't see how dark his face had become from her words.
"N-n-no of course not." He stammered back rather helplessly, looking around for a place to hide. "I would never expect anything of the sort from you. You're the only female I've ever been this close to..." Here his voice trailed off, as he cursed himself for giving away such information to the female.
Now she would think him as nothing more than a bumbling idiot and would think he had been leading her on.
"It's just that..well...I pretty much stay away from female companions. Because, well I'm waiting to find the right one. And living in Llurth Dreir...its kind of hard to find a good female...not to mention one that's not going to take my head off for looking at her in the wrong manner." Ka'da supplied a little weakly, taking in the room around him so to keep his eyes adverted from Yallinda.
