Aldrizzt sighed and sat down at the table with a heavy heart.
Neo glanced up.
"Why have you pulled your hood up again?" Neo admonished. "The people here are already used to you." In fact, it was the first thing Neo had made sure of. The moment he walked into the inn, he had immediately intimidated everyone in the inn into accepting Aldrizzt's presence. It wouldn't do if Aldrizzt had to hide while they were in Leaf Bud City. Other cities, fine, but Leaf Bud City was Neo's territory!
Neo's words only made Aldrizzt pull his hood up further. Even so, his dark skin could still be seen. After all, his hands were out in the open, and there was no preventing people from seeing a flash of his skin whenever he moved. A hood was not enough to conceal everything.
Even if Neo couldn't sense it, Aldrizzt acutely felt the stares from the people in the inn. Despite Neo's intimidation tactics, people had kept on staring at him throughout their entire stay, and now they were staring even more.
Aldrizzt darted his eyes around, blood rushing to his cheeks. He was definitely not imagining all the whispers.
Impatient, Neo leaned forward and tugged at Aldrizzt's hood.
When Aldrizzt's hood fell, the whispers around the room grew louder. Many people gasped. Others spoke furtively but were so obviously gossiping about him that Aldrizzt's cheeks grew very warm.
"It's a dark elf!"
That wasn't so bad. He was used to that. But...
"He's even involved with the former Sun Knight!"
Aldrizzt really wished his hood were still back on.
"Does that make it a fivesome?"
Neo finally reacted, turning a raised eyebrow at Aldrizzt. "Aldrizzt, I never knew you were such a flirt. I'm hurt you trust me so little!"
Aldrizzt rolled his eyes. It was time to confess. "The truth is, Neo, the people here think I'm involved with your student...in a foursome."
