A Thousand Rainy Days

Ah, but it wasn't just herself. From the first moment that Quill laid eyes upon Talyssa, he had been drawn to her. He wanted her in some way or another. The marbled brute had attended her lessons, contributing and listening intently. He'd been the perfect student simply so he could keep an eye on her. Two eyes, in fact.

Rather than just follow immediately and invade her space like a creep, the grey and white man made a stop at a local settlement to gather some supplies. Only when he had a sack full of goodies did he make his way towards the mountain and the waterfall. Quill could still smell Talyssa's scent on the air, despite the musty scent of the falls. It was light and sweet and made him want to eat her all up.

"I was hoping that you might be so kind as to have dinner with me." He motioned to the satchel around his neck then waited for the woman's answer.
