"..the girl from my story.."

::He wouldn't hold it against her that she had already forgotten about his first love. He rose for a minute and stretched slightly still trying to shake off the memories of that nightmare.::

"..I think I need a drink."

*walks over to him getting close to him.*

You will find true love again...keep your faith.

::He half smiles again as he runs a hand over her cheek::

"There you are wrong.. you cannot find something you are not looking for.."

::He takes his hand back as his smile fades slightly back to his normal all serious attitude.::

"..but I do believe.. one day it might find me."

Love does not come to those who are looking.

*she turns an walks back to her corner*

::His brow arched slightly as he began to sense some kind of.. hostility from her. He sighed softly to himself, as maybe she had already grown sick of him. He just stood there as he watched her walk, his head lowered as she took a seat and he would then move towards the bar.::

*she takes a seat, watching Kashell out of the corner of her eye*

"Would you like anything else, sir?"

::The tendress said as she spoke to Kashell placing down his mug. He tossed down a few extra coins.::

"Yeah, some of that bread the chef makes. Teldion loves it and I may not be back for a few days.."

::She nodded as she pulled out two and set them in front of him. She continued to speak::

"Leaving so soon are you?"

"Aye.. I thought I might have found a reason to stay.. but then again; I've never been sure of anything."

::She half smiles as she takes his pieces and waves her hands::

"Oh dear, let me at least grab you a bag for the road."

"No there is really--"

::But she would run off into the back before he could stop her, he takes a deep breath then releases it in a sigh.::

*sits back an starts to hum softly to herself*

::He turns leaning his back against the bar. His nails tap upon the edges as he peers around the place, until he sees her again.. he watches her for a moment; dropping into somewhat of a stare but he says nothing but only because.. no words were there.::

*she looks over to him with a warm smile, no words left her lips, Just a soft tune.*

"..you got um.."

::He sighed shaking his head, his cheeks turned slightly blushed, but he turned away before that was fully noticable. His fingers tapped on the bar as he cursed himself for being such an idiot.::

*notices his red face an softly giggles*

::He hears her chuckle, and shys away even more. He thinks of what he wants to say but again he just struggles in forming the words.::

"..Ugh."

::He sighs softly::

*gets back up, walks over to him. She stands close to him again.*

What seems to be on your mind?

"Oh.. um, well.. you see.."

::He looked down for a moment then just shook his head; well no sense in hiding now, might as well just come out with it; besides he couldn't turn anymore red.::

"..it's just that I, uh.. you know.. um.."

::Yet still; the words would not come.::

"..was just wondering.. if maybe you.."

*smiles* I won't bite you...you can tell me.

"I just wanted to know if maybe.. I could, uh, or well.. if you.. would.. you know if you weren't busy or anything.."

::he swallowed hard as his eyes remained downward, directly at the bar.::

"..maybe, possibly.. well, I don't know if you even like them.. but there's this hill, near the outskirts of town.. and me and my horse like to sit there some nights and watch the stars.. I didn't.. know if maybe you wanted to, uh, join.. us."

::He peeked up at her his bottom lip tucked beneath his teeth as those blues seemed to shine nervously.::

"We usually have like a little picnic.. I guess you'd call it; so if you're hungry.."

::He stares at her for a reaction, but doesn't seem to let her get a word out.::

"..know what never mind, you're right.. stupid idea.. you probably don't even like.. star gazing.."

* a voice comes from the darkness in the corner *

Young one, don't torture the poor man.

Just agree to go with him.

*her smile grows bigger, She places one finger under his chin, bring his face to her. she looks deep into his eyes.*

I would love to.

"Really? ..you sure? I mean.. you don't have to if you don't want to.."

::He smiles as he looks into her eyes the tendress picks up the bread and places it in the bag.::

"..maybe sir would like some fine wine as well?"

::the tendress smiled, making Kashell turn even redder.::

"First the creepy guy in the shadows.. and now you two? Oh, geez.."
