#WritingWonders August 18th: Is Llew any good at flirting?

Um … not really.

In her home town of Cheer, any flirting would be taken seriously, so no room for lighthearted fun, there.

Jonas, on the other hand, can afford to flirt, so yes, indeed, he does when the mood strikes him.

***

Llew walked back to join him at the dressmakers.

“Looking for something for yourself?” she gibed.

He turned a sour look on her, then his expression settled into something she hadn't seen on him before – a kind of gentle consideration.

“You ever miss wearin' 'em?” He nodded to the dresses in the window.

“I never did wear 'em.” She didn't figure the one she'd been hanged in counted. “Don't feel sorry for me. Pants are more practical, anyway. Come on.” Pants were a damn sight harder for someone else to get off, at least. “I think the store up here might sell hooks. Maybe I'll catch us dinner one night.” She started walking away.

“A better view, too.”

“What?” She turned, quite certain she knew what he'd meant, but feeling a need for clarification. Plus, the comment made her very conscious of her cheeks – and not those on her face. They clenched.

“Trousers. They—” he started.

Llew blinked a few times.
It was both amusing and astonishing to see Jonas, usually so confident, flustered.

“I was just sayin' they look nice. Let's go.” He strode past her.

She caught up with him and they walked together in silence.

Llew wasn't sure how she felt about Jonas admiring her arse. True, she had assessed him in kind that first day, but that was different.

Anya had insisted Llew purchase a fishing hook should she get the opportunity to do so, so the Orn General Store had been added to their list of destinations. Once her eyes adjusted to the dimness of the store, she scoured the shelves for the collection of fishing gear and set about sorting through it. Jonas gave every impression of casually inspecting items without showing any real interest in any of it, all the while keeping himself just a step or two away from Llew.

“I'd like to see you in one.” His breath tickled the hairs on the back of her neck and Llew swallowed, as though she'd been caught once more with his knife in her grasp. Her breathing and heart rate quickened. He was far too good at sneaking up on people. Recovering, she pinched her chosen hook between her fingers, but stopped short of turning from the shelf. “Think you'd look pretty,” he continued.

Llew froze. The storekeeper watched them suspiciously.
Jonas slipped a hand round beside her, brushing her ribs and sending a jolt through her, and placed the coin she needed to pay for the hook on the shelf. Then, as silently as he had come up behind her, he moved away and left the store.

Heart pounding, she took the hook and the coin to the counter to pay before following Jonas out.

As soon as Llew emerged squinting into the daylight, Jonas stepped onto the road, heading for the livery stable.

“What was that?” Llew asked when she caught up to him.

“What was what?”

Llew scowled at his back. She grabbed his arm, turning him to face her. There was the smallest of smiles on his lips. Thought it was funny, did he?

“Don't play innocent with me. I know innocent, and you ain't it. You were flirting with me.”

“I's just playin', is all.” He shrugged her off and continued walking, his hands clasped behind his back. The 'V' drew Llewella's eye down and she was struck by how easy it was to notice the nice fit of his trousers.

#WritingWonders: 11th: MC (Llew) POV: If you had to give your best friend (Anya) one piece of advice, what would it be? Why?

Do NOT touch a dead Syaenuk. Ever.

…

What did I say?!

12th: Does Llew have prejudices? No, not particularly. Llew moved countries a couple of times growing up, and has lived in working class conditions and utter poverty. She won't judge people for doing what they must to survive.

Jonas, on the other hand, was raised loathing Aenuks and trained to kill them from a young age, believing them a danger to the rest of the world, with their power to drain life from around them

**Yeah, I'm playing catch up again. I'm full up with a winter cold this week (Southern Hemisphere represent). It's playing havoc with my creativity, or much thinking, really.**

As a writer who spends days outlining their books, I’ve had to learn to go with the flow when one of my characters decides to change the plotline on the fly. Fortunately, it’s always turned out for the better… so far!
