Cards of Fate

All was silent in the House of Cards as two figures stood alone in a quite forest clearing just before dawn. “Now Vincent…” Leona chided as she pulled her crimson cloak over her head. “Everyone else is out on missions right now so I need you to hold down the base while I’m visiting the Bardic Council.” Her sapphire gaze avoided his as the shifted her weight slightly. A slight breeze blew through and played with her cloak while the scholar watched silently, half asleep from a his interrupted slumber.
“Sur thin Leo…” Vincent slurred as he rubbed his eyes and yawned. “I’m holding down the Bardic Council while you visit the everyone.” His eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep, the scholar had formed a nasty habit of going days without sleep at a time.
“No you…” Leona sighed, nothing she could say would get through to him at this point. “I left a note in literally the first place you would look when you wake up. Follow the instructions exactly and we’ll avoid a disaster okay?” she rubbed her temples as she spoke. At least he wasn't staring at her ass. “Just go get some sleep, and if you need me go touch my crystal ball in the common room.”
Vince ran a hand through his messy mane of blonde hair and stretched, yawning once more. “Got it, if you need me you’ll touch my balls…” he muttered half asleep. This earned him a sharp slap from his boss.
“Stop fucking around Vince, this is important!” Leona growled, a rare display of emotion. “If you fuck this up you could end up dead, or worse, the House of Cards could be lost in an accident.”
The scholar rubbed his face, suddenly aware his silk socks were getting sopping wet in the morning dew. “Oww fuck…” he hissed shooting her an injured glare. “You’re the one who dragged me out of bed even though you left a note…”
Leona took a deep breath, counted to five silently, and exhaled. “Just, repeat everything I just told you…” she hissed.
“You’re going out, everyone is gone, blah blah blah, you left a note, something something dark side, if I need to reach you I need to touch your ball.” Another slap. “Fucking worth it…” Vincent smirked as he rubbed his other cheek.
“Was it?” Leona growled.
“Every slap.” Vincent replied yawning. “Now are you going to give me a goodbye hug or why am I even out here ruining my socks?” he inquired.
“I do not do hugs Vincent” Leona replied returning to her usually neutral expression she wore like a mask.
“Come on, it’s Friday.”
“ALthanas does not use the same calendar as Earth Vincent…”
“But my bear hugs are free on Fridays.” Vincent whimpered holding his arms out as if to hug her.
“Your hugs are always free Vincent…” Leona chuckled slightly.
“Come on you’re going to leave me alone for two weeks…” Vincent moaned dropping his hands to his sides in defeat.
“Maybe next time Vince.” Leona replied as she turned away.
"And when is next time?"
"Questions Vince, and I swear to god if you don't stop staring at my..." Leona turned to glare at him.
"I was not staring!" Vincent growled stomping his soggy sock into the damp soil with a wet sloshing noise.
"You were going to..." she half smirked as she turned to walk away.
"Whatever Leona!" Vince spat back as he turned to the trap door. "I guess I'll see you in two weeks..." he murmured to himself.
“Sur thin Leo…” Vincent slurred as he rubbed his eyes and yawned. “I’m holding down the Bardic Council while you visit the everyone.” His eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep, the scholar had formed a nasty habit of going days without sleep at a time.
