Shara braced her elbow on the table and rested her chin in her hand. “Oh I play the damsel with best of them. Being a damsel is something else entirely.” She reached her other hand out rested it on his metal arm. “And armour doesn’t bother me. I think we’ve well established that.” They were more of less done with food and as she gazed at him, a mischievous smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. She still hadn’t decided on the rest of the proposition, though the more she thought of staying the whole night, the more she liked it. With a important caveat though.

Micah grinned and said “Then shall we adjourn? I think I can whip up a dragon out of some of the furniture.” and he snickered. “C’mon, M’lady. There’s rescuing that needs to get done.” and he stood up and held out his hand to her.

Shara rose from her chair in a graceful motion, but she didn’t take his hand. Instead she grabbed her dishes and placed them on her tray and walked it over to the replicator. Except she didn’t recycle the tray. She swung it from her fingertips at her side slowly before swinging it up and hiding her face behind it. Peeking out, she smirked and lowered the tray. “A shield. Just in case we run into any of those fire-breathing monsters along the way. One can never be too careful, after all.”

Micah smiled and then became mock-serious. “Oh, yeah… I hear those things are problems around here. Always trying to make off with the sexiest damsels. Yeah… you are definitely in trouble I think. Good thing I brought protection.” and he reached back without looking and took the spoon off his tray. He walked forward and bowed low.

“Fair maiden, fear not. I shall defend you with my life and make sure you get back to my room safely.” and he looked up and smiled. He quickly cleared his dishes, keeping the spoon, and then said “Follow me, but keep quiet. You know… dragons and such.”

Amusement glimmered in her eyes as she gazed at Micah, the charade slipping for the barest hint of a moment into something more thoughtful. Then her game face was back. Shara slipped behind him, her ‘shield’ up, and she whispered. “Onwards, good Knight. I bid you to lead us to safety.” She couldn’t help the chuckle that echoed in her head. Gods she was having fun!

Micah winked at her and took her hand in his flesh one and led her out the door and down the passageway.

What followed was five minutes of imaginary highwaymen besieging the pair; trolls, giant flying bats, and a single monstrous snake trying to eat them. Reaching his room, he braced himself against the side of the doorway. He whispered “The dragon’s den!” and then moved her behind him. “Stay here, fair maid. I shall slay the best and save your kingdom.” and he turned and kissed her, flicking her lip with the tip of his tongue. “You know… for luck.” and he winked and then palmed the door open and dove into the room.

Silence.

Then the sounds of an ‘epic’ battle could be faintly heard… followed by silence.

The intercom activated and a panting voice said “Fair Princess… the beast is vanquished, but not without loss. It is safe to enter.”

As the door opened and she entered; Micah stood, one leg raised on the arm of a chair and the spoon held high in triumph…

and not a stitch of clothes on his body.
