Jul. 12th, 2005 10:15 pm We got our traveling cloaks. I think it made things worse between me and the the Greckle, but we need the right stuff or we'll never get anywhere. I can hardly move in this armor, not after I've worn it for a while, and I so don't need the mail to go rusty. I don't know how to clean it, either. I don't know if he does.
It doesn't help if I piss him off but I had to get him out of that red cape, anyway. The master and servant thing works well enough, but if he wore a thing like that I'd have to have a better one to keep that scene going. It's not just the money - we've got nothing coming inunless I find a big enough city to go mugging - but that wasn't it.
Passing as a male is weird, but passing for a "young Lord" is tricky and I don't want to look like an amatueur strutting around playing the hero. That'd just make me a target. We'd be better off getting hired for a bit. I don't want to look sexy, either. I really needed a good night's sleep but I'd barely dozed off when someone touched me and I thought I was being attacked - but the chambermaid had tried to crawl in with me! She said that she's always wanted to do it with a hero!
Luckily she'd grabbed me around the neck. My reflexes are good - she nearly took the Ring of Amara with her when I kicked her off the bed. I guess the chain caught in her shift or something. I snatched it back and grabbed for my knife as though I thought she was trying to rob me. She backed away until she reached the door and then ran out, not making a sound, luckily.
I got the Greckle to sleep in the truckle bed across my door for the rest of the night. No wonder they have the servants do that here. He was spitting mad but I will not sleep in that chain mail under-wear and - it gives us a chance to plan in private, anyway, (and if she comes back he might get a better deal than he thinks, except that she's a Hobbit.)
