• His feet were dragging in the sand behind him, not even having the energy to pick up his feet all the way. His mind was on his fathers earlier words about him needing to get into shape and how he should be signing up for the navy about now. A low growled escaped his lips as he lit up a cigarette and turned his head to the side to gaze at the waves. He didn't want to be in the army or the navy or any other of the military branches. He wanted to just do his own thing even if he didn't know what that thing was. His eyes drifted till the landed on the girl on the beach, she didn't look like she was having such a great time either.

• With a lazy sigh, she just laid there for a short while longer before her eyes finally fluttered open once again and her arm swung up to position her wrist infront of her face so she could check the time. She was completely content to spend the rest of the day out there, but her stomach was grumbling unhappily, and so she sat up slowly - not quite ready to head in yet, but ready to start considering the notion...

• "I think you are purposefully putting yourself in my path because you have a hidden desire to smoke but something is holding you back from it. Thus, you partake from my bad habit without incriminating yourself." He stated, his words completely absurd but what the hell, thats the kind of person he was. He took a long drag, exhaling away from her before he glanced back with a cocked brow. (NT) -- Griffin, 17:40:56 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• She yelped in surprise when he spoke, and then flushed a definite shade darker - she had a habit of being so lost in her own little world that she noticed little else around her. Smothering a sheepish laugh, she ducked her head a little and smoothed a hand slowly over her hair - taming the windblown waves. "I think, considering you seem to turn up where I already am, that I should be a little concerned about you following me." (NT) -- Bryani, 17:44:40 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "Well, I do have stalker tendancies..." He shrugged, before he looked down at her and then out to the ocean again. "Brisk day out, huh?" He tugged the zipper farther up on his hoodie - sweet Griff, make small talk about the weather - cuz you know, thats what all the cool kids do. (NT) -- Griffin, 17:49:16 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "Way to reassure a girl." She laughed softly and looped her arms around her legs - a light shiver running down her spine every few moments, whenever that cool ocean breeze returned. "Yeah, it's chilly. If I was at home, I'd be lying out in my bathing suit - working on my tan. Here, I'm thinking I should have worn a jacket." (NT) -- Bryani, 17:54:25 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "Cold?" He questioned, shifting to shrug off his hoodie and hand it to her - he was always a gentleman - his father would have beat him senseless if he had let a girl go cold while he was still wearing a shirt. A low breath escaped his lips as he sank down onto the sand next to her. "I just came from...London, I think was the last place I was, so I am pretty used to the brisk weather." (NT) -- Griffin, 18:09:46 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• She frowned gently at him and offered him back his sweater - taking in his attire with a slightly concerned look. "You'll freeze.. I'll survive." A brow raised slowly and her head tilted curiously - a small smirk touching her fine, sweet lips. Stalker or not - she always enjoyed having someone to chat with. "London, you think? Oahu for me." (NT) -- Bryani, 18:20:16 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "I lived in Hawaii for a while." He stated, tilting his head to the side before he just dropped the hoodie onto her lap, wrapping his thin arms around his bent up knee's. "Between Austraila and Japan, I think - I mean the place isn't between Austraila and Japan. I lived in Austraila, then Hawaii, then Japan. Thats what I meant." He lifted one hand slightly, ducking his head to meet it to brush his hair back out of his eyes. (NT) -- Griffin, 18:24:15 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "Oh my goodness. What are you, a fugitive?" She teased with a soft laugh, watching him incredulously, and then finally tugging his sweater on - giving in because it was easier than arguing. Sighing at the warmth that surrounded her, she shifting to sit cross-legged, slightly facing him, with her hands in her lap - fingers hidden in the sleeves of the hoodie - and her shoulders slightly hunched. "What's the deal?" (NT) -- Bry, 18:28:42 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "Army brat." He glanced over at her briefly before he looked back out at the water. "Moved on average once a year, if not more." He shrugged a bit, smirking. "Lived in almost all of the fifty states though, thats something to brag about huh?" He shifted his weight a bit into the sand before he spoke again. "...and in nine months I'll be starting this life all over again." He couldn't go against his father....he should start his boot camp training now otherwise he'd die when he got there. (NT) -- Griffin, 18:37:45 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• A low whistle slipped from her lips and her brows raised slightly - just trying to comprehend that. She had grown up with the same people she had been born with, and lived in the same house since the day her mama had brought her home from the hospital. It was hard to try and imagine such an insecure life. "That's incredible. Rough. What happens in nine months? Get to move again?" (NT) -- Bry, 18:41:52 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "Going into some branch of the military." He shrugged a bit, shifting to let the sand run through his fingers idely. His eyes drifted back to hers briefly before he dropped his gaze back to the sand once more. He didn't know what else to say,he wasn't so social sometimes especially around a kinda cute girl. He was usually pretty good at making new friends but he was just starting to get kind of tired of it recently. (NT) -- Griffin, 18:55:21 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "Oh... Well.. Good for you." It didn't sound like the type of life she would ever be interested in, but she supposed it must appeal to some - not to mention it was all he knew. "Atleast you know what you're going to do with yourself... If I had my way, I'd live with my mom for the rest of my life - unless I happened to meet some guy - and surf all day every day. Alas, I'm here. Trying to get an education and figure out some way to make myself a little bit of cash." (NT) -- Bry, 19:03:53 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• He shrugged a bit, his fingers drawing idle pictures in the sand before he spoke again. "I would rather be doing what you are."He stated quietly. He didn't even like the beach all that much but he could deal with surfing every day he supposed. Anything would be better then 'sir yes sir' for the rest of his life. (NT) -- Griffin, 19:09:19 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "So why don't you?" She questioned seriously - that was another thing she wasn't used to. All in all, she did do what she wanted - her mother probably wouldn't object all that noisily to her hanging around for forever and just being a beach bum, but she knew she had to do something with herself. "How old are you, anyway?" (NT) -- Bry, 19:12:41 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "Seventeen." He stated flatly, his eye shifting to her for a moment and resting there. "Because, I've been raised my whole life to go into the army,damn near bred for it." He hardly looked the part however much to his father and his fathers friends disappointment. His hair was one of his fathers biggest pet peeves in life, though nonetheles, Griff refused to cute it. (NT) -- Griffin, 19:24:01 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "So? You're a human being - just because you're born into something doesn't mean you're going to want to do that for the rest of your life." She shrugged a touch - unable to understand not having the freedom to make such an important decision about one's life. "And don't sound so bummed about being seventeen. That's a good age." (NT) -- Bry, 19:48:49 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• He shrugged a bit, laughing lightly as he shook his head. "You say human being, my father says super soldier." He shrugged his shoulders idely, letting out a low laugh as he thought about the years upon years, upon years of discipline and lectures he went through in order to form 'character' and a 'strong body and mind'. (NT) -- Griffin, 20:01:37 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• She frowned gently but shrugged a touch, slowly leaning back until she was once again flat on her back, fingers linked over her stomach - her eyes shifting between him and the darkening sky overhead every once in a while. "That just sound so wrong. I can't imagine having such an important detail decided for me, rather than by me." (NT) -- Bry, 20:05:05 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• He shrugged lightly once more, a standard motion for him. "You get used to it." He smirked gently, before he remembered his manners. "Names Griffin, by the way, Griffin Fury." He shifted to brush the sand off of his hand and then hold it out to her with a smile, brushing his hair out of his eyes with his other hand. It was so easy to forget his manners around here for some reason. (NT) -- Griffin, 20:14:10 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "That's a shame." She winked with a soft laugh, then pulled the sleeve off her hand so she could slip her fingers into his - a little awkward given her position on her back in the sand, but it works. "Bry... Ani. Bryani, but call me Bry. Please. Conners - that is, if we're doing the formal last name thing. Cool name, Griffen Fury." (NT) -- Bry, 20:22:07 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• He laughed at the stunted syllables of her name, loosening up a bit with the sound of her light laughter in the air. "Thanks." He winked lightly before he looked over to her, his brow furrowed. "You warm enough, angel?" He questioned, shifting to rest back on his hands idely. (NT) -- Griffin, 20:26:38 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "My pleasure." Smiling still, she slowly sat back up again, arms wrapping around her legs once more. "Mm, yes. Better, for sure. I'm definitely feeling like a hot bath tonight though. So where was your favorite place to live, so far?" She had hardly done any travelling and was always paying attention for good places to visit if she ever got the chance. (NT) -- Bry, 20:31:37 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "London, hands down though Italy and Greece were nice, I like places with a lot of history, thats the thing that sucks about the states, the fact that the country is so young is crazy, I mean, people don't really think about it but America is just a baby countries. Places like Rome, and Athens, they have been around for thousands of years with these gigantic civilazations and societies that have been passing down their history for era's of time." He smirked lightly, shrugging. He was a history buff, that was probably the closest thing to a passion he had. (NT) -- Griffin, 20:55:05 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "I think I'm going to spend next summer travelling. I need to get out and see things..." She commented as she listened interestedly to him, her chin resting on her hands, eyes on him. When she talked to people like him, she suddenly so uneducated - she'd graduated, of course, and with good grades, and was doing well in her first year of post-secondary... But she had never really experienced anything out side of Hawaii and here. (NT) -- Bry, 21:07:17 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• He nodded a bit with a soft sigh, his head tilting to the side for a short moment. "Yeah, I guess I would recommend it. It's the one think I really enjoyed about being an army brat. I never made really good friends anywhere, but I got to explore alot of really great places." He shrugged, sifting the sand through his fingers before he leaned back up. (NT) -- Griffin, 21:18:13 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "Doesn't that bother you? That you never really got a chance to make some good friends?" Her brows furrowed gently - to her, that was the best part about school, and growing up where she did. "You've hardly lived the typical life of a teen... Feel like you missed anything?" She wasn't trying to make him feel bad, she was just curious about how he felt about it all. (NT) -- Bry, 21:21:01 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• He shrugged a bit before he shook his head. "Nah, not really. I enjoy moving around most of the time, I meet people, different people - and get to see different places. Other then the strict discipline - which I suppose sometimes could be a good thing - it wasn't to bad of a thing." (NT) -- Griffin, 21:29:43 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "That's good... Yeah, atleast it's something different." She agreed after a long moment of careful thought - she'd immensely enjoyed her life thus far, but it really hadn't been much out of the ordinary. Other than living in Hawaii, and surfing every morning before school, and her dad being gone, and her sister dying a few years back... (NT) -- Bry, 21:31:43 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• He tilted his had a bit to the side before he turned to face her more, his brow cocked. "So enough about me, tell me about you. Your family around here?" He was always interested in conversation and she was pretty good at it, so it seemed, and he was more then happy to sit and talk with her for as long as she was comfortable. (NT) -- Griffin, 21:36:22 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "Mm.. Yes and no... My mom's back home, but my brother's sort of living here. Except his wife is pregnant, so their in Hawaii right now so my mama can 'take care' of them for a bit. So really it's just me... Though a few of the kids I grew up around - most of them are a few years older than me - are here. They're kind of like family.. I haven't had much of a change to see them much yet though." She explained with slightly furrowed brows - it was a little complicated and a little difficult to explain, but she did as best as she could. It was normal to her - to have been raised by Shay and Adri's mama, and Kaylee's parents as much as her own mother, but she knew it was different to other people. (NT) -- Bry, 21:41:01 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "Thats cool...least you got some roots somewhere. You and your brother close?" He questioned, just making the quiet chatter a little bit more personal but a little more interesting also. He drew his knee's up once again, his arms looping around them casually. (NT) -- Griffin, 21:47:21 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "Yeah... Especially since.. Over the last few years. I'm the baby sister, so he pays pretty close attention to what I'm up to..." Her hands drifted slowly down her shins from her knees, and then lingered over her feet - brushing away the sand before she crossed her legs beneath herself - she didn't mind talking about herself. "You an only child?" (NT) -- Bry, 21:53:19 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• He nodded at that, eyes drifting up. "Yep, the one and only chance for a super soldier." He winked teasingly before he raked a hand through his hair to push it out of his eyes - leaning back after a second to reach into his pocket and find his ever important chapstick. (NT) -- Griffin, 22:14:44 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "You have no chance." She sighed playfully and shook her head slowly. "You don't even have a brother or sister to pass the duty off on." Winking teasingly, she leaned slowly back on her hands, head tipped slightly back. "So you ever get much of a chance to go surfing in your travels?" (NT) -- BRy, 22:22:48 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• He smirked lightly, nodding at that. "I've done it all angel, I've played cricket and polo, I've surfed and played football, american and english." He paused thinking. "I can ride english and western, I can even play croquet." He winked gently. "Your impressed by the croquet, you know you are don't hide it." (NT) -- Griffin, 22:34:46 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• Her brows raised slightly and she laughed, tipping her head forward a fraction and winking playfully. "Yeah, that's incredible. A definite point of attraction." Lips pursing gently, her gaze drifted out to the water and then returned to him. "So you should be my buddy, if you can surf. 'Cause the waves are just starting to get good, and I can't go out alone, and everyone else is so busy they hardly have time for it themselves... Except for Shay, but he's such a showoff." Of course he wasn't, but his skills were a little intimidating.. (NT) -- Bry, 22:39:45 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• He smiled lightly, intrigued by this huge support group she seemed to have. "Who is Shay?" He didn't know what he was missing on having a close knit group like that but really since he didn't know, he couldn't be upset by it. (NT) -- Griffin, 22:51:23 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "One of my brother's good friends.. He's a pro surfer, except he's semi-retired now because he wants to be around for his girlfriend and their baby girl. She's adorable." The more she thought about it, the luckier she was to have everyone that she did - it really made everything so much easier and they were always around for her when she really needed though. (NT) -- Bry, 22:55:20 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• He nodded a bit, tilting his head to the side as he took that in. "And they live around here then?" He was trying to keep all this straight, his mind connecting all of them. "When do you think your brother is going to come back here?" (NT) -- Griffin, 23:09:04 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "Yeah, officially. They spend holidays and usually a few weeks in the summer in Hawaii too though." Her lips pursed a touch in thought and she tilted her head, thinking on that one a moment. "I'm not sure... I know he and his wife want to come back, but it's hard to say no to my mama.." (NT) -- Bry, 23:12:11 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "So your going to be an aunt soon? Thats exciting..." He smiled lightly, he did enjoy children, though he wasn't much for having any of his own he was more then willing to play with other peoples children and then give them back when they got on his nerves. (NT) -- Griffin, 23:28:04 10/12/04 Tue

  ---

• "Yeah, I'm pretty excited... But if Leila has her over there, she won't be able to fly for a while... So I might not get to see her right away.. " She shrugged a touch but smiled - the same way. It was fun to play with kids, like Kali - the little girl was great - but the best part was knowing that you could give them back as soon as you were done. (NT) -- Bry, 11:23:25 10/13/04 Wed
