Archery Range

Richard came to Archery Range with Sienna. He noticed she didn't like to be escorted. Or probably not by him. But he found her sentence funny and laughed

No, actually. You're the first one. You should consider this an honour, my lady. Usually..ladies are good in other activities..rather than in archery..

He answered looking around. He knew the provocative and teasing meaning of his sentence and waited for her reaction

Richard looked at her for a long moment and with an amused expression on his face. He was impressed by her freedom of languages. Very few women spoke so openly to him

I have never had a bad opinion about you, my lady. Why do you think so? And..I never meant that all that you want is..having a man..ehm..between your tights. For using your words..On the contrary, I think you have many talents. Hidden talents, perhaps. And this is your opportunity to show one of them, at list..

He said smiling and handing her a bow and some arrows

Richard smiled while preparing his bow and his arrows

If something will happen between us..it will be not because you're flirty, lady Sienna. But because you're teasing. There is a slight difference between these two words..

He raised his eyes to her curious to see her expression after his words

Richard laughed. He was ready to throw his arrow, but he stopped and looked at her

Really? Which ways, my lady? Maybe you could teach me something. I'm very curious to learn by you..

He said with teasing and joking tone

Richard frowned but smiled at the same time. He put down his bow taking two steps towards her

A jealous lover? My lady..you're describing me like a man trapped in his own lust and instincts. But I assure you..that I also use my witness to seduce a woman. And you're not a common lady, Sienna. I would surely use..different weapons with you. Oh! If I was not a King, of course..

He added quickly and smiling. Then he pretended to focus his attention on his bow again

Richard smiled and nodded, meaning that he accepted her proposal. Without adding more, and not leaving his eyes from hers, he raised his bow again preparing his arrow

Oh I love adventures, my lady. And I have the feeling that I shall never get bored with you..

He grinned. And after staring at the target, he shoot his arrow. The arrow hit the target and he smiled with satisfaction

Richard laughed shooking his head. She was really amusing. So he shrugged and looked attentively at her

Oh well..if the problem is your corset..why don't you remove it, Sienna? I will be not scandalized..

He said in a kidding tone

Richard looked at her with an amused glance. He understood she was surprised, and this was actually his intention. As she strode over to him lifting up her hairs, he came closer and took gently the lace of her corset in his hand

Only if you feel comfortable with that, my lady. You're my special guest, lady Sienna. And I want you to feel completely comfortable in my presence..

He whispered into her ear with warm voice

Richard smiled, instead of beying annoyed by her tone, and crossed his arms on his chest

So..do you really think that I'm flirting with you because I feel..pressured? I have no need. When I flirt with a woman is just because I like her. And..if I make her happy..even better. I think you should have much more consideration of yourself..lady Sienna..

He replied still keeping his smile

Richard just shrugged. He was still keeping the lace of her corset

I won nothing, Sienna. Actually I never considered women as a throphy. And even if you hardly believe that..love broke my heart too. Even Kings have an heart, as you see..

He replied, whispering his last words into her ear

Richard just shrugged and looked around. He took a breath, but he was impressed by her words

Oh..many things happened in my youth. Nothing serious..I think everyone suffers because of love during life. It's almost..natural. But..tell me about you, rather. A younger man..really? It seems nothing scares you, Sienna. Did you succeded in seducing him?

He asked with an amused smile

Richard was looking at his bow while she was talking. As she finished he couldn't avoid to giggle

A..twinkle. Interesting. Do you see the same twinkle into my eyes, my lady? I'm curious to know..

He said raising his eyes to face her. He was curious to know more about her
