Beyond the Castle, part one. (Two person.)

Ario:

"Nope, just that I am going to slowly torture you until you can't stand me, then win you back." I said playfully.

Araline:

I pinched his side lightly. “Torturing is my job, remember?” I said trying to look mean but failing and smiling any way.

Ario:

I stepped out of her reach after she pinched me and I smiled wickedly at her before dashing to her and making her fall to the ground. I pinned her and made tsking noises before saying "You shouldn't have done that." I grinned at her playfully and started tickling her.

Araline:

Over come with helpless giggles I gasped, “Stop!” as I tried shrinking into a ball so he couldn't tickle me.

Ario:

I continued for a little bit longer before stopping, keeping my hands on her sides just in case I wanted to tickle her some more.

Araline:

I gasped once her stopped catching my breath back before knocking his hand away and scowled at him with a slightly smile playing at the corner of my lips.

Ario:

I caught the smile that was playing at the corner of her lips and I chuckled. I was crouching next to her still, from where she was on the ground.

Araline:

I sat up, leaning back on my hands. “That was not nice, apologize.” I said waiting.

Ario:

"What wasn't nice?" I asked looking at her innocently.

Araline:

“You,” I paused for a moment thinking of the right word, “Abusing me like that.” I finished.

Ario:

I laughed and shook my head. "That wasn't abuse, that was strategic torture."

Araline:

“It is the same thing. You aren't going to say you're sorry, I take it?” I asked giving him another chance.

Ario:

I got down on one knee and looked up at her imploringly. "I'm sorry Araline for tickling you, will you ever forgive me?"

Araline:

I laughed and grinned down at him. “I don't know, I may have to think about it.” I said and pretended to think. “I guess maybe I will. If this happens again though, you wont get by without punishment.”

Ario:

"Oh, and what punishment would that be?" I asked her with an eyebrow slightly raised as I got back to my feet.

Araline:

I grinned. “Oh I'll think of some thing.” I said.

Ario:

I chuckled and smiled at her. "Hm, now I'm curious what you are going to come up with."

Araline:

I frowned. “No, the point is you don't want to know, that is why I wont have to do it.” I said slowly realizing I had probably just provoked him into doing some thing.

Ario:

I chuckled and held up my hands in surrender. "Alright, but my curiosity is still there." I said my eyes dancing.

Araline:

I laughed softly. “I'm sure.” I said grinning up at him.

Ario:

I grinned back at her. My dreams flashed through my memory but I shoved them away.

Araline:

I saw Brian coming up behind him and said, “Good luck.” he clapped a hand down on Ario's shoulder. “Your turn, kid.” He said.

Ario:

I looked at Brian and nodded. "Alright." I replied before going to Araline and giving her a quick hug. Letting go I turned and followed Brian.

Araline:

I watched them go back to the clearing I had been in before starting to pick up camp.

Brian handed the bow back to Ario. “You hadn't ever practiced archery before yesterday?” He asked him.

Ario:

I shook my head. "No yesterday was the first time for me." I said truthfully. I had watched the nobles use a bow and practice with it, but I never had the opportunity to use one.
