ALL THREE OF THEM, turned their back facing the young man. The young man then stepped closer holding a small bouncy ball. Gwen turned her eyes to the side noticing a juggler looking curiously at them. "Does she look like a juggler to you?" Nimue responded. The young man chuckled at her response, quickly taking the juggler hat and placing it on her head. Gwen tensed up holding Pym's hand. "Perfect."

Nimue and Pym looked horrified when the young man placed the juggler hat on her head. They expected that Gwen would erupt. Instead she ended up laughing taking the hat, handing it to the juggler.

"I'm no ordinary. I only juggle fire with a mixture of ice." Gwen replied, laughing. The young man smiled at her. "Oh, I believe that." All the girls immediately started laughing.

"Fancy an ale?"

Gwen looked amused. This young man certainly had confidence and charisma to charm any lady. Why her?

"We don't drink with strange men," Nimue responded immediately and started pulling Gwen away only to be pushed back. Gwen stayed and didn't move. The young man smiled at the ladies, turning to look at Nimue, first. "What's your name?"

"I'm Nimue." The young man smiled then turned to her. "And yours?" Gwen gulps, "People call me, Gwen." She then pushed Pym forward. "This is Pym."

The young man sent a smile at her. "Well, now we're not strangers. I'm Arthur." All three girls were amused at him, certainly smiling at how much courage this man had.

All three girls sat at a table in a nearby pub waiting for Arthur, who was bringing their drinks. Suddenly, Pym immediately got up and took Gwen's hand. "We should go. It's late." Nimue agreed getting up as well. "We'll be riding in the dark. We still have time," Gwen replied, seeing Arthur coming from the distance, she made Pym sit down pulling her hand down softly, sending a fake smile. Nimue sat down once she saw Arthur sit down handing them some drinks.

"So. . . you're not from Hawksbridge. Where are you from?" Arthur asked, flickering his eyes between all three girls.

"Near enough. And you?" Gwen replied, smirking. "We both know you're not professional singer."
