Y/N had joined the Band of Exiles not too long ago. She got along well with the other three. Jurian and Vassa were decent. She found it rather amusing how the two seemed to bicker. But she had grown very fond of Lucien. In fact, he was the first one she met when she came across the group. She was running from another male fae who didn't seem to care how they treated humans. Lucien scared him off and Vassa offered shelter to her. She's been with them at their manor ever since.

But she always made sure she did her part with chores and other small things. She was currently headed to the river close by with Lucien to catch some fish for dinner. They found a good spot and got started. Lucien removed his tunic and tied his long, auburn hair back into a bun. He removed his boots and waded into the water. Y/N tried to focus on watching the water with her makeshift pole, but she couldn't help but steal glances at the male. There was no denying that Lucien Vanserra was swoon worthy. Hell, he was the very definition.

Lucien watched the water with intensity. The light of day made him seem to glow. His hands splash into the water. "Got one!".

"Nice," she said, "my pole doesn't seem to be doing the trick today,". He chuckled.

"I've never actually used one,' he boasted.

"We can't all be gifted fishers" she laughed. By the time they finished, Lucien had caught about eight fish. When they returned to the Band of Exiles manor Jurian cleaned and skinned the fish while Lucien decided to chop some firewood. Marie was sitting on a log trying to read but it was nearly impossible. Lucien was still bare of his shirt and his now sweat dampened hair was still in a bun. His tan skin glistened in the sunlight from sweat. Marie had to remember to breathe as she watched his back and arm muscles flex as he chopped wood.

Lucien turned to get another wood log and saw her staring at him. He knew that stare well. A smirk played on his lips as he chuckled. "Enjoying the view Y/N?" he purred. Y/N blushed and quickly looked back at her book.

"It's ok," he said that famous flirtatious tone of his coming through, "I don't mind if you look,".

"Don't flatter yourself, Lulu," she said using all her will to keep her eyes on her book. He chuckled as he continued chopping wood. Soon he was done and Jurian helped carry some in. As he walked by Y/N he smirked.

"Oh Y/N, if you ever wanna closer look just ask" he winked and headed inside. Gods did she ever wanna take that offer.
