“Yes, I am a woman,” Figg said and sashed a few steps towards him. Behind her Amarie pounded on the door.

Petty floundered for a moment, his crabbit wavering in confusion, he tried to think of something to say, “aye, um, well done?” he ventured finally.

“I am sure, “ Figg said undulating closer, as the banging on the door got louder and more desperate, “we could share.”

“Whit?” Petty frowned as if she had just offered him a vegetarian meal, “share? As in I dinnae get ma oan way?”

“We could, accommodate one another, “Figg said almost dreamily her bustle wiggling side to side as she got closer and closer, “co-habitat,” she finished breathlessly an inch from his mud streaked calloused face.

“Um,” Petty managed again staring into her large blue eyes, trying to remember why he was here and what he was so crabbit about.

Silence seemed to envelop them, the banging on the door had ceased

“Yi dinnae need yon big muckle hooses though lass, yi cun huve a barrel maebbaes?” Petty uncharacteristically compromised, so off balance was he now.

“I have no idea what you just said, and I don't care,” Figg smiled and he felt her breath brushing against his face...

One of my favorite scenes of all time.

Thanks Figg, I am particularly glad you liked it, fruit not withstanding! Kissing

Cheers Halfy, chuffed you picked that scene out as it was without a shadow of a doubt the trickiest scene I've ever written in a Forumshire Tale! There's real sweat in that one and not all of it just fear at what Figg would make of it! pale

Thank Eru for Dark Planet magic. Imagine baby Figglette Petite with the first ever baby kilt. And imagine the crabbitness!

Excellently done!
I like the little touches, like:
"By his reckoning he had missed at least one meal, the chance of nibbles if the tantalizing aroma from below making his nose twitch was right, and at least one petting and one unsolicited mauling of a random Ambassador.

These were all things Ginger Meg liked. A lot. "

Oh and:
"The Three Little Ambassadors sat and blinked amid the rubble, the tv crackled and with the words “Run for your lives!” went dark.

They blinked in the dust cloud."
Subtle. Razz

Forest- I didn't think anyone would spot that little Who reference! Very Happy

Orwell- Does that mean I will finally get someone to scrub my barrell?! cheers

Thanks for writing and sharing it, Petty. Very Happy

Not that I'm trying to discourage you or anything, but tackling the Three Billy Goats Gruff is a tall order considering the Archet Bugle's spin on it was so ... unique. But I would love to see your take as well. Nod

You're saying Petty can't handle a tall order? My sources tells me those are fighting words. Or drinking words. Wink

How IS that next needlehole piece going? Suspect

While somewhat an ambiguous tale in some ways, a fine exploration of hobbit nature (the goats obviously emblematic 'hobbits') (and as fine a philosophical treatise on bridges that you'll ever read - apparently). The noble Odogoat character (both sexually potent but nonetheless highly respectable) proves by his derring do that the grass is not necessarily greener on the other side while the other goats show all the terribleness of Morgothian 'goats'. Of course, Eldo and Ringo are shown as trolls of the worse kind, standing for all that is wrong with those with a common Forumshiran personality. Bless Eru!

Bollocks I had forgotten all about that particular Tale Mad

Maybe I should do a different one, plenty of folk tales to choose from, and at the moment all I have anyway is a tile (and a notion it will contain a lot of swearing!)
