New venus

Nathan gingerbread was relaxing.Sat in the nook , the warm fire , making him feel sleepy.

But not so sleepy that he failed to notice a half orc looking him over… nathan allowed his hand to gently rest upon the hilt of his dagger. As he waited to see what the orc wanted.

It didn't take long, “ you be that nathan...” said as both a statement and a question , but somehow lacking a question mark.

Nathan raised his head and met the orc's eye. “ I am” 

The orc attempted a snear, hard with protruding tusks. “ you says you're a wizard.But you ain't a wizard...” nathan allowed his gaze to widen, making sure that this oc had no friends with him. Shifting his feet a little already thinking of how he would kick out wiith his left leg , giving him time to draw his dagger.

“ Who tells you that, friend?” Said , nathan keeping his tone very soft and neutral.

“ Oh I knows it… i think me and you should team up,i eere your a goods clever thief but sosis I..” The orcs tone had dropped to what he that was a wisper. 

Nathan's mind span quickly, it would be unseamly to have a brawl here , not a thing that wizards would do. Not a thing that nathan wished to do. Orcs even half Orcs we're thick skulled i'm notoriously hard to kill.

“ I tell you what if you can show me you're a good thief, i will team up with you.How does that sound?”

The orc nodded and sat back in his seat  

As Nathan Sat forward and in an actual hush tone set out the plan for tomorrow morning.

‐—-------------------

The orc, as it turned out , had a name and his name was Bunt. Bunt walked into the bakery and began to walk around , looking at the various different cakes and buns. Nathan stood outside and watched as rather clumsily, but well enough for the old man behind the counter to notice, bunt managed to stuff 3 bonds into his Pocket.

Nathan came into the bakers wearing his wizards robes and nodded to the old man.

“ Would you like to see a magic trick? “He asked the old man.

The old man nodded and nathan asked him to pass to him three buns… the old man did, and as the old man\nWatched nathan slowly ate all three buns , commenting on how tasty they were , and letting the old man see that he really had eaten the buns….

When he was done, bunt could not help himself.He said “that's not magic…” the old man nodded his head agreeing.

Nathan addressed the old man and said “ you think I have eaten three of your buns? “

The old man nodded and said “yes, and you'll be needing to pay for those”

Nathan smiled a big cheesy smile “ oh no I didn't eat any of your buns, if you look , you will see that they are in the orcs pocket. 

As the orc protested his innocence. Nathan pointed to his bulging pocket , gave the orc a little wink as he started walking towards the door. “ Perhaps I am a wizard bunt, because that was magic”
