"Axel is his brother," Rasia explained.
-
“Oh, so this is the usual, eh?”
“What do you mean, usual?” Felix glared at the old man, narrowing his eyes suspiciously before crossing his arms. -
"Felix it doesn't matter," Rasia said. "We need to focus."
-
“What the woman said,” The old man nodded, agreeing with what Rasia had said. “Because I’m rather hungry as of now. Would you two like to stay for dinner? I’m pretty sure both of you are famished.”
“N-“ Felix was about to decline, but immediately remembered what Varian had told them. “I mean, y-yes! We would love to stay for supper.”
“Perfect! Follow me, youngsters.” The old man stood up from his spot and waddled out the door, beckoning them to follow him. -
Rasia repositioned Axel in her arms and followed him. "What's your name?" she asked the old man.
-
“What do you think it is?” The old man asked with a snort.
-
"If I knew I wouldn't ask," Rasia shrugged, her tone of voice not one bit mean or incredulous.
-
"Well, I was always the kind for a small game of charades!" The old man giggled, suddenly leaping up off of the ground and glaring at the couple, a mischievous grin forming on his face.
"Rasia, we should be careful. There’s no telling what this guy will do to us if we don’t get it right.” Felix whispered to her, his tone a bit frantic.
“Now, you only have three guesses, so guess wisely!” The old man started skipping around the room.
(Skipper) -
Different things kept on running through her head, but every answer she thought of was much too obvious.
Suddenly it came to her. "Skipper?" -
The old man stared at them in disbelief for s few seconds. He clutched his stomach and dipped his head backwards, roaring in laughter.
“Yes! Yes!” He beamed as he placed his boney arms on his hips. “That’s exactly correct! Good work, lady, you earn the wondrous prize of keeping your precious life!”
Felix gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly. A glob of nervous sweat trickled down his face as he visibly gulped. So, the old man, Skipper, was planning to kill them had Rasia used her three guesses incorrectly? There was one word for this treacherous game Skipper was putting them through. 'Disgusting.'
And, judging by the fact that they had their lives on the line just when they arrived, Felix reckoned that the young couple would be going through a series of seemingly harmless challenges that inevitably could lead to death if they didn’t stay on their toes. -
Rasia looked at Felix wide-eyed. It would have cost her life if she hadn't guessed a name correctly?
She let out a sigh and looked at Skipper. "What next?" she asked. The faster they got through this the faster Axel could get better and they could get out of there. -
“Well-,”
A loud rumbling noise interrupted the old man. Skipper paused and chuckled nervously, patting his stomach. "Some dinner would be nice. I’ll assume you can cook, Ms. Rasia?” -
"Yes, but I'll need things to cook with," she replied.
-
Skipper immediately looked at Felix, who at the time, was internally groaning at the thought of having a daunting task with the pressure of death on his shoulders. What could go wrong?
"I have quite a bit of supplies in my pantry, but not enough meat for the three of us jolly folks! Would you be a kind lad and go fetch us some boar meat? You youngens are quite quick at your young ages after all! Fufu." The little chuckle added to the end of Skipper's demand made Felix cringe. "You should know the consequence if you fail to complete this simple task, Sir Felix."
Felix looked over at Rasia.
"Will you be okay staying with this old hag by yourself?" He mumbled into her ear, not wanting Skipper to hear their conversation. It wasn’t as if the old guy could, considering he was busy giggling to himself maniacally. -
"Of course," Rasia said, turning her head to him and speaking softly. "Besides, we need to do this."
