• **The vixen pads along the beach, staying conspicuously on the dry sand. As she walks, she shoves her white-furred paws into her cloak pockets to keep warm. Sidling up next to Rellis, she casts a vaguely uncomfortable glance at the water. Then, exhaling softly, she smiles.** The days are getting colder. It'll be winter before you know it. (NT) -- Darkrose, 19:19:39 10/20/04 Wed
  • *Rellis smiles, her glance at the water not escaping his notice but he doesn't press the issue, knowing it'll likely just upset her if he pushes it. He smiles back at her* I grew up in the tropics, this is subartic for me...*He laughs lightly and replies* Least there's always a good fire and shelter in the winter these days... (NT) -- Rellis, 18:15:09 10/21/04 Thu

• **She smiles slightly.** I like it. The cold, I mean. Feels like home. I remember being so young and playing in the snow with.. **She lets her voice trail off, shrugging absently.** Sometimes I wonder how so many good memories could have turned into such a bad future. I guess you probably know what I mean, don't you? (NT) -- Darkrose, 22:35:25 10/22/04 Fri
  • *he nods once* Yeah...all too well...I try not to dwell on it too much... (NT) -- Rellis, 12:10:06 10/24/04 Sun

  ---

• That's good. That's very good. I'll have to try that for myself sometime. **She smiles again, a little wider this time.** So, I have a question. I seem to recall you and I meeting in a spot similar to this one on more than one occasion. What's so special about the beach? (NT) -- Darkrose, 17:56:45 10/24/04 Sun
  • *He laughs and holds out his paw to her* Must just be the amosphere. I've always been fond of how the moon reflects on the waves (NT) -- Rellis, 17:04:32 10/25/04 Mon

  ---

• **She laughs as well, smiling disarmingly as she takes his outstretched paw.** You're a real charmer, you know that? It's no wonder I can't stay away. (NT) -- Darkrose, 19:17:17 10/25/04 Mon
  • *he smiles and clasps her paw* 'Charmer?' That's a step up from 'annoyance'...and who can't stay away from who? I've lost track of which of us keeps finding the other. *He smiles playfully at her (NT) -- Rellis, 13:20:10 10/26/04 Tue

  ---

• **She smiles craftily, shrugging casually.** Maybe it's fate. **Not giving him a chance to comment on that, she immediately narrows her eyes in mock indignation.** And you better watch it. There's a thin line between charming and annoying. (NT) -- Darkrose, 18:18:20 10/26/04 Tue
  • *Grins* If I draw that line, feel free to stab me...don't take me up on that, please (NT) -- Rellis, 12:29:56 10/27/04 Wed

  ---

• I wouldn't dream of it. I'm far too passive to resort to such things anyway. **She smiles and laughs softly.** Too sensitive, too compassionate, bad liar. That's me. (NT) -- Darkrose, 19:09:10 10/27/04 Wed
  • You say that like those are bad traits, y'know... *He replies with a small smile (NT) -- Rellis, 12:37:33 10/28/04 Thu

  ---

• Well, they do seem to get me into a lot of trouble. But if you like my attractive blend of wit and vulnerability, maybe it's worth it. **Her tone is slightly sarcastic, but her meaning sincere.** (NT) -- Darkrose, 20:53:32 10/28/04 Thu
  • *He smiles* It's never crpssed my mind that you weren't worth everything, Darkrose (NT) -- Rellis, 12:51:05 10/29/04 Fri

  ---

• **She smiles again.** I wasn't questioning anything. I trust you. (NT) -- Darkrose, 19:37:19 10/29/04 Fri
  • *He smiles back at her, giving her paw a light squeeze* I trust you too... (NT) -- Rellis, 20:00:26 10/29/04 Fri

  ---

• **She chuckles, grinning wryly.** Well, that makes one of us. (NT) -- Darkrose, 18:02:07 11/01/04 Mon
  • *He grins back at her* I hope not for long... (NT) -- Rellis, 13:37:07 11/02/04 Tue

  ---

• You have to understand...I don't trust myself with you, because when you're around, I'm happy. And I think I would do anything...even if it meant going against my rational thinking...just to make that feeling last. **She smiles sheepishly and looks down, kicking absently at the sand.** I'm just afraid to let my guard down. I guess I still have a few things to learn. (NT) -- Darkrose, 18:43:03 11/02/04 Tue
  • *Rellis smiles and lowers his eyes lightly* IS there...anything I should really say to that...? (NT) -- Rellis, 12:34:07 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• **She shakes her head quickly, casual smile back in place.** No, no, I'm just rambling, just running my mouth. Don't think too much of it. (NT) -- Darkrose, 16:45:19 11/03/04 Wed
  • *He smiles* Hey...don't just write it off Darkrose...when you say things like that,...I can't help but take mind of it.. (NT) -- Rellis, 18:16:49 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• Well, even so, I feel silly for saying it. Embarrassed. Being honest is so much harder than lying. **Looking back up, she smiles again.** (NT) -- Darkrose, 18:53:31 11/03/04 Wed
  • *He clasps her paw, giving it a reassuring squeeze* It's better when we don't have to lie to one another if you ask me... (NT) -- Rellis, 17:23:37 11/05/04 Fri

  ---

• **She sighs, squinting out at the water.** You make it sound like it's so easy. But it's never been easy for me. Even now, there's so much you don't know about me. (NT) -- Darkrose, 23:09:33 11/06/04 Sat
  • *Rellis nods* I know...but, even so... *He rests his free paw on her shoulder* I hope to help with making it easier... (NT) -- Rellis, 07:15:53 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• **She fidgets a little and utters a nervous laugh.** A lot of what I say is just noise...you know, just a front to make it sound like I'm comfortable and nonchalant. But I'm afraid the closer you get, the harder I'll try to distance myself. Old habits die hard. (NT) -- Darkrose, 20:06:18 11/07/04 Sun
  • *He gently wraps his arms around her if a hug* Then I'll follow you acrss that distance... (NT) -- Rellis, 15:12:23 11/09/04 Tue

  ---

• **Another uncomfortable twitch and uneasy laugh.** I think what I'm trying to tell you is that sometimes I manipulate people by saying things I think they want to hear at that moment...so despite anything I may have said in the very recent past, I think it's only fair to warn you that if this happens too fast, I'll run and I won't look back. (NT) -- Darkrose, 23:04:34 11/10/04 Wed
  • *HE laughs lightly and steps back* Thanks for the warning (NT) -- Rellis, 05:15:05 11/11/04 Thu

  ---

• **She sighs with relief, then quickly smiles apologetically.** You should be flattered, really. I'm trying so hard not to come unglued...I don't want to mess up this time. (NT) -- Darkrose, 19:45:01 11/14/04 Sun
  • *He nods* Thanks... (NT) -- Rellis, 16:31:46 11/17/04 Wed

  ---

• **She smiles.** No, no, thank you. Your patience is very much appreciated, even if I don't show it properly. (NT) -- Darkrose, 20:29:08 11/22/04 Mon
  • *He laughs lightly* don't worry about it...thanks for letting me know I've made sme difference... (NT) -- Rellis, 15:13:30 11/23/04 Tue
