Step by Step

Naerys let out a sigh as John eventually made Thunderstruck stop. Next time she surely would try something else as well to make it stop since the pulling seemed not to be enough. "Oh yes please." She replied with a seducive smile. "It´s always nice to feel your hands on me, especially if they have a purpose."

John smirked as his hands reached for her waist, her hands on his shoulders he gently put her down on the ground. "It just takes time to learn," he said. John himself wasn't the best rider when he first started to learn. His whole body ached the first time he learned to ride a horse, but all the training helped him to gain muscles. "But you were really good."

Naerys was still smiling. She really could get used to this, the riding or currently rather it´s lessons and especially when it meant spending more time with this crow. "Thank you but you weren´t bad as well. So, I´m going to give you a reward." With her hands still on his shoulders it was easy for her to get even closer and get a hold to reach up for his mouth to kiss him.

"A reward? Oh, you're too kind," John replied. Her lips reached his and he pulled her closer to him. He started caressing her back with one hand.

Before they could even only think of taking the risk of going further she backed off with her hands still on his shoulders though. "Well what can I say, even we wildlings have a kind side. But don´t tell the others. They only might fall for me." She said joking, giving him a wink.

He was a bit surprised when she backed off, but he smiled toward her. "Oh, everyone would surely fall for you easily." Expect that one who let his anger on her from last time.

Playing with his coat she purred in his ear. "To bad for them that I´m only interested in their commander." Just after she let go of him compeltely and made a step back. "So, what you wanna do now?"

"How about going for a hunt?" He hadn't eaten anything for the morning, which he had regret. He was starting to be hungry.

She smirked at him. "Sounds good. What would you like to hunt though?"

"You know the forest better than I do, so what can the forest offer?" he asked with a seductive smile. But to hunt something and then roast it really sounded good this day. Thunderstruck snorted, the look in his eyes looked like he was saying: "Seriously?" and shook his head.

"Same as every forest to my knowledge. Some rabbits, deers, bears and so on." She replied before laughing at Thunderstrucks snort. "Does he do that often?"

"Not really," he said. Was Thunderstruck really judging him for being with Naerys? If he had been a human right now, he would probably have starting to tell him the rules about to not touch woman and get children and so on. His hand went to his pocket. Didn't he have some wheat there? There. He fished up some wheat and gave it to Thunderstruck. After a sceptical look, Thunderstruck accepted it.

Her laughter now turned into a chuckle. "It´s cute though." She said while watching John feed Thunderstruck. "Ah I see, so even crows do bribing. Very interesting."

John chuckled. Indeed they all did some bribing, but that wasn't often. Just during some rare events. "What about you? Do you also some bribe with your hawk?" John asked, looking at her hawk.

"Weeeeeeeeeeeeell yes and no. Minha is rather like my best friend, not an animal. So I let her have her free will most times." She replied stroking Minha who just had landed on Naerys shoulder. As if the hawk was about to disagree though she bit in Naerys clothes showing her that she wanted something which made Naerys roll her eyes. "Good job now she´s jealous and wants a treat as well."

John had to grin. "Doesn't everybody want a treat from time to time?"

She chuckled while feeding Minha a tiny piece of meat. "True. So then what do you prefer as treat?"

"A kiss. When I've been a really good boy!" John said and made puppy dog eyes. "And what do you prefer as a treat?"

She chuckled. "Didn´t know you were interested in men as well my dear John." Shrugging she went on with a smirk on her lips. "How about you find out."

"Who said I was interested in men?" John said, pretending he was offended. But this time he didn't manage to play dead serious and he chuckled. Carefully he walked over to her and when she turned around, he took the opportunity to stand behind her. "All right then," he said and started to tickle her at her waist.

"Good to know." She replied giving him a wink before she turned around, about to go where she assumed could be a nice place to hunt when she felt Johns fingers on her waist. Immediately she twitched out of suprise, letting out a short scream. "Where did you get that idea?" She questioned him chuckleing in amusement about the silly side of the rather serious commander.

"Didn't you ask me to find out what you want as a treat?" John replied grinning. It was such a long time he used to joke. At the wall, he was the strict lord commander. But here with her, he managed to be someone else.

"In what world would a being, especially a woman like this as a treat?" She replied while she get out of his grip, giving his hands a strong pat so they let go of her. "Silly crow." She chuckled, facing him again.

"I think you misunderstood me," John said teasingly. "My intention was to tickle you until you would tell what kind of treat you want." His smiled teasingly toward her.

"Pffft not gonna happen." She told him about to start to walk again. "Better luck next time."
