Chapter 192 - Nice Leg.

"Horses. Umm yes we have many Horses." Interrupted the little teenage ill.u.s.tratian Girl, it wasn't a strong interruption enough to be considered rude, she was just excited to do business that she forgot or at least chose to forget who is in charge here.

"Ada!" Stretched the mother one word in a bit of an irritated tone, but she was actually just trying to get her daughter's excitement under control. She wasn't mad but she still had to show a hint of professionalism in this business even if they will just be talking about Horses. "I'm deeply sorry, she tends to get excited when we have new customers."

"That's quite alright." Seeing how much manners these two ill.u.s.tratios have regardless of what race they are about to do business with, Commander Alia got soft hearted because of these acts. A good choice as a Human being but a terrible choice for bargaining intends. She still can give out a compliment though. "She looks stunning, right Eric?" Give a Compliment and push it on Eric, well that isn't nerverecking for the little Ignite at all, hence the Sarcasm.

How many twists could Commander Alia's intends have? First she kept him here, now she is practically forcing words out of his mouth. This is not how respecting differences looks like, unless she has something else in mind. Throughout 7 months now, she never intended to make Eric become more nervous than he can handle, so this basically proves that there is some other intend behind her careful wordplay. Well it is pretty obvious to notice what's happening here, she is trying to hook these kids up. Breaking a couple of nervous sweats, Eric answered. "Um yes. The Mother looks lovely!"

At such a reply, the mother got a bit embarrassed, was forced into a blush too and answered. "Why thank you." Her daughter however was just rolling her tongue around her teeth trying to hold in her laughter and Commander Alia was grabbing and pinching Eric's cheek. "You are right boy, she is adorable. But her Daughter is cute too."

Trying to put that Cute little scene behind, the Mother approached closer. She felt comfortable enough to even offer a handshake. "Hello, I'm Aatë Mase, owner of Mase Stable." It is clear that she is eager to get into business, Commander Alia didn't just put Eric through an embarrassing situation, but Aatë too! So she tried to avoid that now as much as possible.

With a wide smile on her face, Commander Alia explained. "Hello Aatë. We are in need of Horses but let's not burden these young Children with bargaining work." Her intend indeed different from the words she was projecting, she couldn't bother less if an all Powerful Golden Blood spends a few minutes tuning them out in a Conversation.

Also, If she just wanted to catch this Lady alone, she wouldn't bring Eric here to begin with. At this rate she isn't intending to do anything bad to her but is trying(And succeeding.) to plant seeds elsewhere. "Eric, grab Ada... Wait no." She quickly thought, "That would never work." And came up with a new plan in a dash. "Ada, grab Eric and go play with the Horses." Commander Alia knew that Eric would be attached to the floor as if he nailed his shoes down, he would never agree to do this. If someone else drags him out, that would be a lot less anxiety raising for him and he would have trouble disagreeing too.

Ada took a quick glance at her Mother to try and determine if she herself can go out, just by analyzing the look on her face. They aren't attempting to be racist, it is just that Commander Alia got control over the entire stable just with wordplay. Luckily, Aatë appears to be quite comfortable with their presence, why wouldn't she? Commander Alia did countless acts to grant this comfortability.

And as for Commander Alia's intend? Aatë was quite aware of what she is trying to do, she gave it a quick thought too before she assured Ada to go outside and play with the Horses. "Ada just turned 14, she will need a Husband in a couple of years, why not plant the seeds now? This little Ignite boy looks as harmless as a newborn Horse too so I don't see a way of this going wrong." Well he actually is that harmless around people he trusts, it was noticeable all on his shy behaviour. If only the two knew that he caused the great massacre in Crutal Kingdom.

Well enough about war for just a moment, Ada grabbed Eric's han... wrist and pulled him out of the Stable with a dash on her feet. He was unable to say anything against it, in fact he didn't react to Commander Alia at all about this matter until now thinking that this is just a plan to get cheaper prices. He didn't speak, but his thoughts sure had no limit. "In Crutal Kingdom she had what to cut, what is she going to cut here?"

You might ask how a boy who barely even talked to girls his age or even boys for that matter (Who spread this sort of information between Boys or maybe even a couple of Girls too.), knew about reproductive differences. Well, although he didn't see anyone n.a.k.e.d yet(Thankfully), he did encounter two Horses of two different genders being put in a Barn for breeding reasons. So he figured that Humans have a different one as well depending on Gender. However, it took him three sightings to figure that out. This is a minimal reason why he tends to get shy around girls, gender differences.

"This one here is Buck." Explained Ada as she dragged Eric towards the closest Horse. Before Eric was about to reply, Ada dragged him towards another Horse and explained full of excitement. "This one is Steve Socks." She was referring to the fact that "Steve" had ankles with shining white fur. Hence the surname "Socks". We also had "Gunther" but mom sold him to some man with a big head. Eric had no clue who she is talking about, but was also glad that it isn't anyone he knows. She dragged him from one horse to the other, basically all 15 of them explaining each Horse, their name, breed and even what made them special! Such vast knowledge can help her progress tremendously in life, Profit-wise if she chooses to follow this type of business. From the looks of it, she has!

But even though he had quite a few topics to choose from, he was still tremendously nervous because of the fact that she simply won't let go of his hand even though she could have until now easily, but that didn't entirely stop him from trying to form a conversation. "Uuuh. This Horse has a nice hind Leg." Well, that's all he could come up with don't judge.

"Touch it." Repeated Ada a couple of times, the funnier part is that she isn't even trying to be funny. She is deadly serious about it but wore a greatly enthusiastic smile on her face, that smile got Eric feeling tingly around his arms and a new uncontrollable war was happening in his stomach too. If you could only see it for yourself, his forehead was hot and sweating in negative temperature.

So he proceeded to touch it, the Horse's hind leg that is. What choice did he have? He couldn't say no. He had the energy to repeat. "Nice hind Leg." A couple of times. Well, at least they have a topic to talk about right now. It is better than remaining in complete silence no doubt, silence tends to get wildly awkward if around people who don't respect your differences. But in this case, Ada just wouldn't stop talking. I guess that's the result of having something one's proud about as a Topic. It still works to both of their advantages though. The situation won't get awkward and she still gets to hold this cute Ignite's hand.

Throughout this Havoc of Awkwardness, Eric managed to catch a better glimpse of Ada's appearance. She is slim, half a foot shorter than him too even after considering her age. But god she has a beautiful smile and amazing hair too! Unlike her mother who keeps her hair tied into a Bun, here at the stable at least. Ada didn't strain her hair like that but chose to let them be free.

Doing so she would attract some boys her age easily, maybe even pedophiles as well. The second possibility bothered her mother a lot so she keeps yelling at Ada to keep her hair tied. They don't need problems as ill minded as that happening to them. Aatë even tried hiring a Guard once in order to assure safety, but it only turned out slightly worse. Well the Guard didn't bother Ada, but Aatë instead. Shortly described, he tried his chances with her and got fired.

Furthermore, for once Eric loved the purely red eyes these ill.u.s.tratios have. He got quite used to it due to the ill.u.s.tratio Guards in the Unit, but seeing her wide smile accompanied by these beautiful red eyes along with Gorgeous vine like green hair too. His entire body started sweating!
