Callie and Rede left the town to head towards the
predestinated meeting point. Neither of them had much to do in town besides
trade a few items, so they figured they could head out early and have camp
completely set up for when the rest of their party finally came around. It was
nice and peaceful in the woods where they set up camp. Just another average,
calm day of their travelling life often filled with interesting precarious
moments. “How long has it been since we paired up?” Rede asked her while he
worked on the tents.
“Oh geez…” Calie looked over at him, “A few years at least
from when you ‘hired’ me on.” She wasn’t in any of her large plate armor as
they hadn’t any plans to be causing trouble anytime soon. Rede found it nice to
see her in more form fitting clothes.
Rede chuckled, “Turn out as stupid and boring as you first
thought it was going to?” He teased her, “What was it you told me? It was
probably a waste of time and a loss of money?”
Calie shook her head at him, “You’re never gonna let me live
that down are you?”
“Oh hells no!” Rede immediately replied, “Only since you
like it so much.”
Calie rolled her eyes and got back to work, “To be fair, it
was a pretty good waste of time the first few months. No one wants to hire just
two people for a job normally.”
“We got by well enough.”
“Speak for yourself,” Calie scoffed, “I was about getting
ready to ditch your sorry ass before we ran into Shade and Gorgos.”
“Well, glad you didn’t.” Rede smiled at her, “This party
would be lost without you.”
Callie laughed, “Oh trust me, I know.”
