Being Alone (D. Winchester)

Manservant and Courtesan

We walked out of the tent.

Dean exchanged the foam-covered sword for a wooden one leaning outside the tent.

A woman bowed to Charlie " Your majesty. "

We walked through the camp.

I had my hand around Dean's bicep as we walked.

Dean " You always been into LARPing? "

She shook her head "Nah. For role-play, I prefer a tabletop. D&D, Gamma World, Car Wars. That's why Cthulhu invented multi-sided dice, right? But a buddy of mine was into LARPing. Went for him, stayed for the chicks. "

Dean laughed.

Charlie "It's not just that, though. It's an escape. I mean, here, I'm queen, a hero. Out there in the real world, I'm just hacking out code and chugging coffee all day long. "

Dean stopped and we turned to her.

Dean "Now, wait a second. If it wasn't for you, we would have never been able to take down Dick Roman. Out there in the real world, you are a hero. "

Charlie smiled, nodding.

Another woman walked by "My queen"

I raised an eyebrow "I'm noticing a lot of these maidens checking you out. "

Charie shrugged "What? I can't shut this down. It's good to be queen."

Then she walked off.

I looked at Dean who smirked.

----------

Charlie was showing the photo to a young woman with elf ears.

The woman shook her head " I haven't seen anything like it in my travels throughout the realms, your highness."

Charlie nodded " All right. Well, if you think of anything, come see me in my tent. Anytime. "

The woman smiled and left.

I smirked, impressed.

Charlie "Scratch the Elves off the list. "

-------

Charlie "The Shadow Orcs. Last group on the list, impossible to find. "

Dean "Wait, I know where we can find one. I met him on the way in. "

Charlie "Perfect. Maybe he can tell us what the frack this thing is. "

I nodded and we walked to the stocks.

Monty was still there.

He gritted his fake teeth when he saw Charlie " Death to the queen! Death to the usurper! "

Dean drew his wooden sword.

Monty "Death to her manservant! Death to her courtesan!"

I raised an eyebrow. 

Dean hit the stocks with his sword near Monty's head. Monty jumped.

I smirked.

Charlie shot Dean a look.

Dean asked confused "What? Well, there's no laptops in Moondoor. There's no Geneva Convention, either. Hey. "

he showed Monty the photo "Have you seen this? "

Monty nodded " Yeah, of course."

But then he shook his head "No. No, I haven't seen it. "

Dean put his sword under Monty's chin.
