Eri grinned at the memories Andrasteia's words brought back. "I almost got caught changing my clothes in so many strange places over the years" she giggled. "Mother was always scolding me because my clothes would be so dirty from having shoved them into bushes or under floorboards or whatever while I was out pretending to be a boy."

"Do you know where people thought you'd gone?" she asked. "It would be interesting to see what kinds of places they came up with, even if they weren't very nice places."

Eri laughed. "Ooooh there were all kinda of theories and rumors flying around the household and among the 'society circles'" she said with a sarcasticly, upscale accent. "The other young ladies who my mother was always wanting me to spend my time with had all sorts of interesting theories. On the days when I was forced to spend tea with them, the topic came up once or twice." she rolled her eyes.

"There was one young lady by the name of Elanor Shaw who was particularly vexing.... so one day, after she made a particularly rude insinuation about my 'unknown activities', as she used to call them.... I put ink in her tea.... and a dead wasp I found on the porch." she said with a grin.

Andrasteia laughed, thinking of how horrible it was...yet how funny at the same time. "So what were some of these theories? Or were they just too ridiculous to repeat?"

Eri searched her memories trying to recall her favorites. "Let's see... there were many theories. A favorite one was that I must have a boyfriend I was sneaking off to see. Other people thought I was out theiving, and those who had seen the.... er... less than lady-like way I tend to do combat even suggested that I might be working as an assassin. I rather liked that one actually" she said with a wink. "There were others... pretty much anything you can think of, they labeled me as." she shrugged.

"Ooh, an assassin," she giggled. "Dressed in plain clothes with your weapons hidden, yes? I guess that would explain how your clothes got so dirty. Though the boyfriend one was rather obvious, you'd think people would get more creative than that."

"Oh that's one of the more tame versions of that rumor" Eri said rolling her eyes. "There was a reason I put ink in Elanor's tea that day.." she said with a wink.

She laughed, thinking of anyone's reaction to ink being put in their tea. Well, the girl probably deserved it, spreading rumors and lying like that.

Eri giggled at the memory. "Her teeth were black for a month afterward" she said with satisfaction.

"I bet she didn't go to many society parties and gatherings after that," she giggled. "Unless she liked showing off her black teeth."

Eri laughed so hard, she had to use a nearby table to support herself. "She completely disappeared for the entire time. She wouldn't even see her tutor." she gasped.
