Ravin tried to sit as still as possible while Isobel went about the task of cutting his hair. Of course that wasn't easy to do with the beautiful woman's breasts bouncing before his eyes and her soft fingers running thought his hair. He kept his hands in his lap for obvious reasons then closed his eyes and tried to think of anything but Isobel. Unknowingly, the woman was driving him crazy at the moment! If she only knew how badly he wanted to take her into his arms and make love to her right here in the sand by the water, she'd probably slap him silly. She'd have every right to be upset too because he had no business thinking things like that about her. Hell, they hardly even knew one another and most women liked to establish some kind of a relationship with a man before they allowed sensuality to enter the picture.

He looked up and met her eyes when she said she was finished. Thank the gods, he thought. For a minute there he thought he was going to lose it, but now he had a chance to recuperated since she was no longer pressed against him. With a smile, he took back his razor and placed it into the pack that lay at his feet. "Thank you," he said, his eyes following her as she sat down beside him.

When he found himself staring at the bandaged leg she was rubbing, he sighed then tore his eyes away and focused on the numerous plants around the water. "There's certainly some interesting vegetation growing around here, don't you think?" he asked while pulling off his whiskey flask from his waist belt. As he did so, his hand brushed against Isobel's hip. After murmuring an apology he took a long drink from the flask. Suddenly, he remembered what Isobel had said about Val's herbs, and jumped to his feet.

"Stay right there and rest that leg," he said with a grin before rushing back to the campfire. After a brief search he found the packet of herbs in question lying beside the rest of her gear. He snatched the packet up and filled a large mug with tea from the pot the healer had brewed. As he turned away from the fire, Corum rushed up to tell him that Marz had come out of his coma. Well, that was certainly something to rejoice about!

After mouthing his thanks to the youth for the information, he made his way back to Isobel. "I brought your medicine and some tea to mix it in," he said, handing her the items before taking a seat on a rock a foot away from the one she sat upon. He thought it a good idea not to sit so close to the enticing woman right now since she tended to play havoc with his emotions.

He wiped sweat from his brow then took another sip of whiskey, enjoying the way the hard liquor made him feel more relaxed. "So, do you have a husband or someone special waiting for you back home, Isobel?" he asked, then wondered why the hell he had decided to ask such a question. Well, there was no taking it back since the words were already out of his mouth. After shrugging at his tactlessness he met her eyes and waited for her answer, if she even chose to give him one that is.
