"Well...it doesn't have that natural taste.." Nightshade sighed, taking another chunk. "Um, what is a garden?" she tilted her head.

"Well I'm one of a kind." Honeyheart winked, scooting closer. "So this is how the deal works I win, you tell me 3 secrets and I keep your fighter, if he lives. And if you win I marry you, and you keep my fighter." She repeated as she thought about it. "I like that deal, I accept...but do you?" She asked, gazing into his eyes once more.
"That is where you plant food to grow it. Vegetables and fruit." He yawned. "The taste is in you head my love, that fruit is quite real... but where the fruit grows can effect the flavor."

Count Marc just leaned in and gave her a kiss. Power surged through them when he did. He pulled away and smiled. "Or you can just choose to be with me and the deal is the fighters only. Let the relationship be of choice." He spoke quietly wanting more, but waiting to see her response first.
Nightshade slammed the fruit on the ground, "No Barabus, it's not in my head." She growled, crawling up to him. "I know the difference in taste." she sighed, mellowing out. "Well the garden sounds nice to do."
____________
Honeyheart didn't reject, but came in too. She felt the channeling power increase as before. "I guess the relationship could work and the fighters, with the fighters." She nodded, scooting back.
"Grouch much?" Barabus snorted getting up and pushing her away. "Read up on the gardening first then I will make you one." He started to walk off.

"The count stroked her face. "A partnership with the fighters. Give the crowd a thrill... but something thrills me more." He stopped her from scooting too far away gently pulling her back. "I want it to work. Choice means more than demand or force... and I do desire you.. I have yet to love another. Perhaps it is not a fairy tale." He teased her lips with his and stroked her neck. "How do you feel about it?"
Nightshade rolled her eyes as she got up. She ran up and leaped onto his back, "Can a garden survive out here?" She whispered in his ear.
_____________
Honeyheart jerked a bit at his touch, but did find it lovely. "Ya give them a thrill...somethings that thrill me." She smirked, slowly fighting from coming closer. she bent her head back at his kiss, "I feel fine." she kissed him in return, drawn to his power.
"Yes.. just needs someone to tend to it." He mentioned. "I will get you seeds, you just need to let me know what you want." He pat her leg.
____
"You resist? But can't make up you mind I see." He noticed her odd movements. "Well. It will be a new experience for both of us I believe."
"I'll for sure tend to it." Nightshade leaned over and kissed his cheek. "Just dragon fruit."
___________
"No, obviously I can't." Honeyheart sighed, looking up. "Probably not for me, since I've been with others...But never truly feel in love."
"You can plant one of the ones I summoned you." Barabus mentioned.
_____
Marc smirked. "I have been with many myself my dear. Love is a whole new thing." He stroked her hand.
___
It was 3 days to the fight and Maxim started to up his training for this unknown foe he would have to face for the special match. He executed his moves in the Arena.
"Alright I will, but I left it back there." Nightshade smirked, pointed her thumb under the tree. "Mind to get another one?"
