The golden retriver jogged on ahead as she walked along slowly, dark hair pulled up into a ponytail, a sleeveless hoodie tight around her torso, a stone washes jean skirt falling to her ankles. She kept away from the busy places, away from people. She was growing used to her own company... learning more about herself than she'd ever known before.

He had been playing in the playground when he noticed her from a distance - a slow grin forming on his lips as he jumped off the swing and jogged to catch up with her, draping an arm loosely over her shoulders. "Smile for me, smile for me..." He seemed to compensate for her quietness by being even more friendly than usual... (NT) -- Landon, 02:14:23 08/20/02 Tue
Startled she quickly ducks a little, drawing a breath she sighs her relief heavily, she couldn't help but be jumpy. Holly trotted over panting, tail wagging happily, excited to see her new friend again "hey landon..." (NT) -- Rayna, 02:19:08 08/20/02 Tue
Grabbing a nearby stick off the ground, he tosses it down the path behind them. "Didn't mean to startle you." (NT) -- Landon, 02:21:14 08/20/02 Tue
The dog bounds after it, pouncing on it and trapping it under her paws, chewing at it. She shakes her head a little, frowning softly "Oh...no don't worry about it... I'm just... a freak or something" She offers a slight smile, a little embarrased by her jumpiness (NT) -- Rayna, 02:24:35 08/20/02 Tue
He bumps her shoulder gently with his, smiling down at her as they strolled. "Only 'cause you won't smile for me..." (NT) -- Landon, 02:26:40 08/20/02 Tue
The dog cocks her head watching them walk off a second before leaping up and bounding after them, suddenly remembering her stick she turns and retrives it, following them again. She smiles then, focusing her gaze on the path as they walked "you're not supposed to agree Landon!" (NT) -- rayna, 02:30:19 08/20/02 Tue
He grinned playfully, glancing at her again. "But you're even prettier when you smile..." (NT) -- Landon, 02:31:46 08/20/02 Tue
She returns his grin, glancing up at him "Aw... you're prettier when you smile too" (NT) -- Rayna, 02:35:03 08/20/02 Tue
Batting his eyelashes, he winks. "But I know it." (NT) -- Landon, 02:35:47 08/20/02 Tue
She laughs a little... as much as she was convincing herself her own compnay was the best company...he was making it hard to believe "Geek" (NT) -- Rayna, 02:38:37 08/20/02 Tue
He wrestles the stick from Holly and tosses it a ways down the path again, lower lip jutting out in a pout. "Ouch kitten, that hurt. Be nice, I'm delicate." (NT) -- Landon, 02:40:54 08/20/02 Tue
She grins lightly, watching him a moment before looking ahead again "I'm sorry" (NT) -- Rayna, 02:45:16 08/20/02 Tue
Smiling easily again, he shrugs, shoving his hands into the pockets of his jeans. "I might find it in my heart to forgive you." (NT) -- Landon, 02:46:54 08/20/02 Tue
She arches a brow, glancing over to him again with a slight smile "You reckon?" She barely knew him but she was already beginning to trust him... she didn't often trust people too easily... she supprised herself (NT) -- Rayna, 02:50:22 08/20/02 Tue
He slips an arm back over her shoulders - loosely, the gesture friendly. "Wanna know a secret?" (NT) -- Landon, 02:51:42 08/20/02 Tue
She tensed only for a second before she made herself relax again, glancing up at him "Good secret or bad secret?" (NT) -- Rayna, 02:58:00 08/20/02 Tue
He grins again and winks. "You never hurt my feelings... I was lying..." (NT) -- Landon, 02:59:12 08/20/02 Tue
She gasps, dark gaze widening playfully "You lied to me?" (NT) -- Rayna, 03:01:25 08/20/02 Tue
He sighs mockingly, head hanging. "I'm really really sorry. Forgive me?" (NT) -- Landon, 03:02:38 08/20/02 Tue
She shakes her head, brow furrowing playfully "I just don't know if I can Landon..." (NT) -- Rayna, 03:05:27 08/20/02 Tue
Frowning sadly, he returns his hand back to his pocket, eyes dancing. "I... I understand..." (NT) -- Landon, 03:07:01 08/20/02 Tue
She sighs, stepping infront of him and stopping, a hand resting on his chest to stop him "maybe... someday" Her lips curl into a grin before she laughs gently (NT) -- Rayna, 03:11:09 08/20/02 Tue
He grins, continuing a few steps - pushing her back - for a moment before stopping. "I guess I'll have to settle for that..." (NT) -- Landon, 03:12:41 08/20/02 Tue
She laughs and tips her chin up a little "I guess you will... can you deal?" (NT) -- Rayna, 03:17:09 08/20/02 Tue
Smiling down at her, he shrugs a little and sighs playfully, a hand touching her chin. "I have no choice." (NT) -- Landon, 03:19:49 08/20/02 Tue
Her fingers curl at his chest before she shoves her hands in her hoodie pockets, grinning a little "Wanna know a secret?" (NT) -- Rayna, 03:23:36 08/20/02 Tue
He dips his head a little, brow raised, smiling charmingly still. "Good secret or bad secret?" (NT) -- Landon, 03:26:22 08/20/02 Tue
She grins a little, cocking her head to one side "I can forgive you... I was lying..." (NT) -- Rayna, 03:29:33 08/20/02 Tue
He grins, hands moving into his pockets again. "You lied to me?" (NT) -- Landon, 03:32:05 08/20/02 Tue
She pouts at him playfully "I'm really really sorry...forgive me?" (NT) -- Rayna, 03:36:44 08/20/02 Tue
Sighing heavily, he tilts his head back - feigning thought. "Well... I guess so..." (NT) -- Landon, 03:38:49 08/20/02 Tue
She laughs gently, grinning softly "Good... " the playful banter was nice... she'd missed this (NT) -- Rayna, 03:44:07 08/20/02 Tue
He had been attempting to ignore the goofy Holly bouncing around his legs, but finally gives in and tosses the stick for her again. "Can we be friends again?" (NT) -- Landon, 03:45:47 08/20/02 Tue
She wanders off the path and drops onto the grass, her legs stretched out infront of her , ankles crossed "Mhm...I hope so" (NT) -- Rayna, 03:49:13 08/20/02 Tue
He grins, settling down by her. "Good." (NT) -- Landon, 03:56:48 08/20/02 Tue
She smiles a little, turning her gaze to Holly befriending some kids "Some gaurd dog huh?" (NT) -- Rayna, 03:59:51 08/20/02 Tue
He laughed, watch the dog. "She kinda fails... But she's awfully cute." (NT) -- Landon, 04:01:52 08/20/02 Tue
She laughs and nods, glancing back to him " It's been a while since Hoplly found you... been keeping busy?" (NT) -- Rayna, 04:06:16 08/20/02 Tue
He smiles, nodding a touch. "Yeah, pretty busy... I like being busy. What about you?" (NT) -- Landon, 04:08:20 08/20/02 Tue
She smirks slightly, shaking her head as she glances down, plucking at some grass "Not really... stupid councelling sessions... decorated my bedroom..." (NT) -- Rayna, 04:10:38 08/20/02 Tue
He watched her quietly, smiling. "What colors?" (NT) -- Landon, 04:12:35 08/20/02 Tue
She smiles and looks back up at him "Blue and yellow... nice and sunny..." (NT) -- Rayna, 04:16:56 08/20/02 Tue
Curiousity would be the death of him one day, but he was determined not to jeapordize the trust he knew was building between them by pushing for information. "Good choice." (NT) -- Landon, 04:18:38 08/20/02 Tue
She smiles and nods "yep...just gotta move all my furniture back in now... and the rest of the apartment needs decorating... but I figured my rooms my favourite place... so I'd start there" (NT) -- Rayna, 04:22:15 08/20/02 Tue
He smiles. "Makes sense to me... I haven't even unpacked some boxes in my apartment..." (NT) -- Landon, 04:24:05 08/20/02 Tue
She grins a little, shaking her head slightly, glancing over to him "Planning on staying?" (NT) -- Rayna, 02:11:23 08/21/02 Wed
He shrugs - perhaps one flaw, he was rarely content to simply be comfortable. "For a while atleast." (NT) -- Landon, 02:14:15 08/21/02 Wed
She nods a little, glancing back down as she plucked at the grass "I wanna see the whole world before I'm fourty" (NT) -- Rayna, 02:17:50 08/21/02 Wed
He grins, still watching her on and off. "How old are you?" (NT) -- Landon, 02:20:14 08/21/02 Wed
She glances back up to him briefly "Nineteen. I'm giving myself plenty of time" (NT) -- Rayna, 02:25:21 08/21/02 Wed
Smiling, he tilts his head a touch. "Yeah, that's a long time... But there's a lot to see." (NT) -- Landon, 02:26:55 08/21/02 Wed
She smiles softly, nodding "I know... and other than here i've seen nothing but my home town" (NT) -- Rayna, 02:35:01 08/21/02 Wed
He grins and shakes his head. "You've got a long ways to go then." (NT) -- Landon, 02:36:17 08/21/02 Wed
She nods a little, tilting her head softly "Hope I get to see at least some of it" (NT) -- Rayna, 02:41:04 08/21/02 Wed
Smiling affectionately, he flicks a handful of grass at her. "You can do whatever you want to do, kitten. If you want to see the world - then see the world." (NT) -- Landon, 02:42:42 08/21/02 Wed
She tosses a handful of grass back and glances over to him "not that simple" (NT) -- Rayna, 02:54:15 08/21/02 Wed
He tilts his head. "Well why not? It's a bit of a drag that things are never that simple." (NT) -- Landon, 02:55:54 08/21/02 Wed
He brow furrows as sh glances back down, brushing grass from her skirt "I can't leave here... not yet anyway" (NT) -- Rayna, 03:03:14 08/21/02 Wed
He smiles reassuringly and absently ties a blade of grass in knots. "Well, when you can, then you can go see the world." (NT) -- Landon, 03:06:03 08/21/02 Wed
She smiles slightly and nods "mhm... " She was praying every day would be the last of her secret life... (NT) -- Rayna, 03:11:38 08/21/02 Wed
He glances at her. "We should hang out sometime - grab dinner or something." (NT) -- Landon, 03:15:37 08/21/02 Wed
She purses her lips slightly, hesitating before glancing up at him, an unsure smile crossing her lips "Sure...that'd be fun" (NT) -- Rayna, 03:20:32 08/21/02 Wed
He smiles, tossing another handful of grass at her. "I like it best when you smile." (NT) -- Landon, 03:22:14 08/21/02 Wed
She laughs lightly, drawing her knees up a little, a bright smile gracing her feautres, the first in a long time "You've got this flattery thing down to a T don't you?" (NT) -- Rayna, 01:39:35 08/22/02 Thu
He grins charmingly and winks. "21 and a half years of practice, kitten." (NT) -- Landon, 01:41:29 08/22/02 Thu
She grins a little ... he made it so easy, made her forget everything- every reason why she should keep herself to herself "And here I was thinking I was something special" (NT) -- Rayna, 02:08:29 08/22/02 Thu
Smiling, he stretches his legs out infront of him and leans back on his hands. "You are somethin' special." (NT) -- Landon, 02:11:40 08/22/02 Thu
She copied his position, falling silent as her dark gaze dances absently over the park, sighing softly (NT) -- Rayna, 02:19:17 08/22/02 Thu
He runs a hand through his hair and gently pushes away Holly as she attempts to smother him. "I always wanted a dog." But as the middle child and with such an easy-going personality, it wasn't rare for him to fade into the background as a kid. (NT) -- Landon, 02:25:00 08/22/02 Thu
She smiles softly "I got her for christmas... hense the name... how come you never got one?" (NT) -- Rayna, 02:29:31 08/22/02 Thu
He shrugs, ruffling the dog's ears. "We couldn't quite swing it. Between putting my older brother through school and trying to keep my younger brother out of trouble, my parents weren't too keen on something else to keep their eyes on." (NT) -- Landon, 02:32:36 08/22/02 Thu
She smiles softly, leaning over to plant a kiss on the dogs head, getting one back on her cheek as she ruffles the dogs ears, laughing a little "you can borrow Holly anytime you need come canine company..." (NT) -- Rayna, 02:36:25 08/22/02 Thu
Smiling, he tosses a stick down the path for the dog again. "I'll remember that." (NT) -- Landon, 02:38:03 08/22/02 Thu
She smiles and nods, glancing back to him "So theres just the three of you?" (NT) -- Rayna, 02:41:58 08/22/02 Thu
He shakes his head. "And I have a 12 year old sister and an older half-brother." (NT) -- Landon, 02:49:04 08/22/02 Thu
She arches her brows slightly "Big family..." (NT) -- Rayna, 02:54:54 08/22/02 Thu
He grimaces a touch - he loved his family, but it was kind of big. "No kidding. You have any siblings?" (NT) -- Landon, 02:59:18 08/22/02 Thu
