Teacakes and Pride

Meeting

"Are you sure you'll be alright out there alone?"

"Worry not, I'll be fine. The forest deity will protect me." I reassure my attendant, gently patting him on the shoulder. I wave goodbye and go outside, leaving through the small gate facing the forest.

‎

While walking I marvel at all sorts of sights; little water sprites making sure plants have enough water, nature sprites chasing each other around in the undergrowth, colourful birds singing the canopy above, a wolf snuggling with her pups, among other usual things you'd find in a forest.

After a while, I spot the shrine up ahead. It's actually just a hollow part of a tree that the people of my estate come to pray to the nature diety that lives in this forest. We leave all sorts of offerings in this shrine, and the diety makes sure we have plentiful to harvest every time.

I leave a few tasty treats in the shrine before going to find a nice spot to enjoy the lunch I brought with me. I look around and quickly find a large flat mushroom with small round mushrooms surrounding it.

Using one of the small round mushrooms as a seat, I get comfy. Reaching into the basket I brought, I take out some plates, a teacup and a bunch of macaroons, cake slices, brownies, and chocolate truffles, each wrapped in a different towel. I get the flask containing rose tea out and pour some into my teacup before taking a sip.

‎

"Who are you?!" A harsh voice scares me, and I look up.

The person has a scowl on their face, and their dark skin looks a lot like tree bark.. but their eyes, a beautiful, rich pink blossom colour with the pupil somewhat resembling a rose. I feel my cheeks turn pink as I look at the person. She's got a damn nice bosom, and she's barely wearing anything. How scandalous!
She's wearing a simple but very revealing dress of which looks to be made of only plants, I'm amazed at how durable it seems to be.

"Who are you!?" The attractive woman repeats, her tone still harsh.

"A-ah.. I'm Lady Reiyl Lyreblossom. And uhm, you are..??" I stand up and do a polite courtesy.

"It doesn't matter who I am, I have no name. You are not welcome in this divine sacred part of the forest, begone before patience wears thin." I feel awkward as she glares at me.

Had I truly gone so far into the forest, I'm intruding on the forest deity's home, and a nature spirit servant has come to warn me? I should be polite and offer the nature spirit some treats before leaving.

‎

"W-would you like some?" I gesture to the plates of treats atop the flat mushroom.

"I do not like mortal food." I try to hold back a laugh. It's clear as day she's lying as she's staring at the food like she hasn't eaten good treats in a long time.

"Are you sure? You look pretty~ hungry." her cheeks go red, she's so fucking adorable oh my gods.

"F-fine, I'll try one treat, hmph!" She shyly sits on one of the other small round mushrooms and hesitantly eats a single chocolate truffle.

"Delicious, aren't they?" I smile at her as she shoves truffle after truffle into her mouth, her plump rosy lips decorated with melted chocolate.

"What?! N-no!" she lies, still eating.

I lean my elbows on the mushroom table, my hands under my chin as I watch her eat. "Bullshit, you've eaten up all the truffles I brought already."

She wipes her lips, smudging chocolate onto her hand before looking up, and we make eye contact. Fuck, she has such gorgeous and beautiful eyes, gods knows I could stare into them all day everyday.

A/N
Okay I'll edit this later to be longer, here's over 600 words tho.
Also yes it's a sketch I did of the scene and I've done more of the drawing but it's 100x more funny like that
