A Fatal Attraction

[kyyliegh]

Kyyliegh walked into Gratton's slowly. She meant to buy some meat for her capaill stallion, but she couldn't help but be attracted to the board on the counter. The night before everyone had come to sign up for the races, but she swore she would never be a part of hose death matches. She would sooner commit suicide, although the two could be said to be one in the same.

She reached into her pockets for money but found them bare. She was broke. There was a small bit of money at home set aside for her own needs, but she was afraid that is Liam did not get fed soon she and Mab would be next on his menu. She sighed, the horses needed feeding, the roof needed fixing, and not to mention feed herself, and it all cost money. She glanced at the sign again. The purse was huge. Kyyliegh stood there staring at the board. She had nothing to lose, the only things she cared about on this island were her horses. Kyyliegh heaved a big sigh and grabbed the chalk. She looked around her to see if anyone was watching and then scrawled...

Kyyliegh Mitchell ----------- Liam

[Anastasya Sanders]

He'd just dropped off a very intricately done saddle for a Mainland client not twenty minutes before, and the payment that he'd been given was quite nice... He knew his father would be pleased with the sum, though he himself still had a commission percentage of his own... Spencer leaned back against the wall, considering what to do with this percentage, toying with the light jingle of coin in a bag that weighted in his palm.

Mind distracted with thought, his dark amber eyes remained bright and alert, skimming over the groups of people gathered around chairs and benches, eating and chattering. He had just contemplated moving to join a familiar group, when his eyes flickered to a girl that was not familiar, and most certainly not an employee... Who was writing on the board.

The same board he wished for his name to be on; even if he had no Capall to ride for himself.

His initial reaction was to open his mouth and say something, but he caught himself before a word was spoken. Spencer waited for a moment, thinking. Yes, he didn't know the girl. What she'd done was none of his business, but he also wanted to know her motives; why not simply pay the damned fee and be done with it? Surely she had a reason. His eyes were pinned on her as he turned the possibilities over in his head.
