Duncan looks the archer square in the eyes as he walks past him. The scent of scented oil getting stronger as he walks within a feet of the HighLander. A slight nod of the head is all that Duncan needed to know that this man had sized him up and approved of his ability, at least his ability to pay attention to his surrounding.<br/><br/>Duncan's eyes settle back onto the more soothing figure of Gweneth as she glides over to the desk and pulls out 3 pouches. He listens as she speaks and toys with the idea of foregoing the gold for a night of passion with this sweet smelling beauty who walks towards him. But gold always lasted longer than any woman's interest...well perhaps not every woman... His thoughts wander into the past but only for a brief moment.<br/><br/>Duncan reaches out and takes all three pouches and weighs them in his palm. His finger running over the velvet as they trace a gold piece framed against it and smiles. He eases the pouches onto the loop on his belt and lets his leather cape fall back down to conceal it.<br/><br/>"I'll take your word that there's 150 gold, my Lady." he smiles as he walks around her, pacing the floor like a lion stalking it's prey...or more precisely it's mate...<br/><br/>He inhales deeply, not bothering to hide it as he walks behind her his face barely inches away from her hair as he whispers...<br/><br/>"I am yours for 13 days...and<em>nights</em>my Lady and you will be under my protection and have my undying attention. I will serve as your personal Guard and shield you with my life. But I warn you!"<br/><br/>He looks her in the eyes as he once against stands in front of her, dark eyes drilling into her blue.<br/><br/>"Fail to pay my full worth at the end of my service and payment I shall reap in ways you will wish you never knew existed....my Lady." He smiles but there was an almost sinister undertone that assured her he meant business.<br/><br/>"Where does my lady wish to be escorted today?" He bows as he backs away and stands a few paces behind her.<br/><br/><em>"My bed chamber.."</em>he hopes are the words that would roll off her lips.
