the flute and he bard Pt. 3

The bard chuckles and leans her shamisen against the nightstand placing the bachi on top,

jumping into bed and curling into the sheets drifting to sleep.

The Kitsune woke at sunrise and standing up to stretch glancing around seeing the bard in the other bed,

"W-WHAT THE HELL"

the Kitsune quickly picked up and put on her cloak while the bard yawed waking up,

she rubbed her eyes "O-oh hey there roomie"

getting up and holding out her hand "hey there, I'm Erika Piper".

the Kitsune slowly and hesitantly put her hand out "i-Im Kiria, Kiria Greywood"

"PLEASED MEET YOU MISS GREAYWOOD, and I must say you are stunning without that cloak" Erika says cheekily.

Kiria puts more of her cloak over her head and hides her blushing face in the shadow "please to meet you to miss Erika"

Erika picks up her shamisen and pockets the bachi and walks out their room "see you at the cafe" the bard said flirtatiously before walking out and closing the door,

Kiria tries to reach out to the bard but the door closes on her face before she could get any words out.

Erika wanders about the tow, walking with a pep in her step,

talking to folks and inviting them to her show at the town's only cafe,

making friends and talking up a storm making those she past smile and laugh,

she hums and walks into a stranger,

Erika smiled as the gang of menacing looking strangers gave her icy glares,

"My my isn't that the pest of a bard  we've heard so much about"

 Erika's smile faltered a bit but smiled after sighing deeply

"oh nooo~ please don't hurt someone like little old me~, I'm just a little wandering bard" she said sweetly

the bard in impending danger,

"what shall I do now~?" the sarcasm thick in her voice, movement exaggerated.

Liked this a lot :) Keep writing

Looks like this wandering bard is in for a fight in the next chapter. I feel like you could have employed a little more interaction between the kitsune and the bard. Build them up a little bit. Just a little constructive criticism. Sometimes expanding on characters and ideas paints a clearer picture to the reader in regards to who they're dealing with. This story feels like it's being written with a lot of love and consideration. I'm curious to see how chapter 4 pans out. Keep on writing! :)
