Rating: PG13
Characters: Nelly Ancroft, stable boys
Summary: My last Gingerbread! Thanks to Sunny for being my finisher! No particular place in the timeline. Nelly has an optimistic outlook on life, even when she’s waking up in a horse stall. XD
Other than the taste of horse shit in her mouth, Nelly actually woke up quite comfortable. She commended herself for her ability to choose a soft spot to fall down in a drunk stupor on. Last night was a bit of a blur courtesy of having too much money in her pocket and not enough will power. Nelly thought about checking her pockets now to see how much money was left, but she was in such a good mood now she didn’t want to ruin it by finding out she was broke again.
“Well look at this. We got a regular sleepin’ beauty here.”
Nelly was mindful of her head as she slowly rolled to her back to see who had just barged into her horse stall. There were two stable boys leering at her from the stall door. Nelly looked them over, both were a bit of a disappointment in the looks department. Her eyes slid lower.
Hello.
Hanging from both of their belts was a sizeable money pouch. They must be flush at the moment. Nelly didn’t know how flush she was anymore, but she imagined that relieving these two of their worldly goods would certainly improve her situation.
She flashed them her best come-hither look and casually reached behind her for her knife. “Help a lady in distress?”
The stable hands were practically salivating as the jumped forward to help her, not noticing the small knife in her hand or what she was doing when she "accidentally" brushed against their waists. She grinned to herself, wincing only a little at the ache it caused her head. Today was going to be a wonderful day.
