Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lorin was ambling along with a large smile on her face, it having been a good day, but then any day she didn't get caught was a good day. Stopping as she walks and looking over, taking a few steps back and peering through the trees. Now there was a pretty view, not that she found many stallions she felt like oogleing but this one was definately worth it.
[16:49] Becky: Elliot was bathing, it was a pretty hot day and he was bored and tired, he had carefully hung his belts and other things over a nearby low hanging tree branch, having previously scouted the area and finding no signs of other Soquili around
[16:52] Rowen: Smiling as she watches, getting a good eyeful before spying his things. Her smile growing. Well he was fine as he was but a girl couldn't miss the chance at seeing all the glory now could she. Moving round behind the bushes and carefully unsnagging his things from the branch.
[16:54] Becky: Blissfully unaware of what was going on behind his back he closed his eyes and started to whistle a tuneless song, laening backwards he relaxed into the waters, letting it soak away the heat from the hot day
[16:57] Rowen: Getting the bits off the branch she thought she was home free, till she stepped on a twig as she was backing off. Cringing thinking she might just need to run now. Meeting the stalliosn eyes for a moment before bolting back onto the path.
[17:01] Becky: He was just drifting off into a light doze when a sound behind him brought him instantly alert, he turned swiftly in the water, faster than most could in a watery enviroment, meeting the eyes of a Mare, a split second before she bolted, getting up out of the water (not so gracefully), staring in the direction of the mare, he absently reached for his things
[17:04] Rowen: She just kept running, not really paying any attention to what was behind or in front. Deviding her attention making her not notice the stallions off to the side of the track ahead as she slowd down, nor did she see the hunky stallion behind her, Slowing into a trot and then a walk, not feeling the need to keep running.
[17:07] Becky: Elliot swore, they were gone, the mare must have taken his stuff. Narrowing his eyes he glared in the direction the mare had gone, "you'll regret this girl" he muttered, trotting off, keeping his eyes on the trail she had left. He had to admit, even though she had been fleeing, she left very little trail to follow.
[17:11] Rowen: Cursing herself as she faces the small gang of stallions, she should have paid more attention. They were circling her like vulchers, not that she was going to back down. Shoving one of them as he tried to get a sniff of her.
[17:13] Becky: Head down he carefully tracked her through the trees, and, despite himself he was impressed at how she covered her hasty escape *she must do this alot* he thought. Snorting he came across the scent of several stallions, just as he heard some small commotion from the trees ahead
[17:17] Rowen: "Get lost toy crud brains twits!" Cussing at them as they all starts to try the sniffing thing, getting closer. Headbutting one, her small horn not much good for anything but it helped add a umph to her headbut. Kicking at the one behind her. She was outnumbered but that didn't stop her.
[17:20] Becky: Elliot grinned, it sounded like the mare had gotten herself into a bit of trouble, slowing down he crept nearer to the commotion and watched a small number of stallions approach her, he could tell what they were thinking but she seemed to be holding her own for now, so he kept silent and hidden while he tried to see where his stuff was.
[17:26] Rowen: His stuff looped around her neck, it having been the easyest place to keep it as she ran. Shoving the stallion closest, but he didn't budge. She was feisty but not as big as these stallions, one or two she could manage, but she had 4 to deal with. "Crap" Stomping on his hoof with her cloven one. Needing to get them further away so she could use the small point on her horn. It wasn't much good as it was so short but a good cut on the belly would make most men run. Especially if she got close to their jewls.
[17:28] Becky: ((lol)) Elliot watched closely, she was definitly a feisty mare, and he admired her grit, but she seemed to be backing towards his hiding place, holding his breath as she got closer that was when he caught a glimpse of his things, mostly hidden by the scarf she wore around her neck. The other stallions started to co-ordinate a little better now that she was fighting back strongly enough.
[17:31] Rowen: Ducking her head in what seemd submission for a moment, only to jerk it up, cutting the stallion that approached up the side with her small horn. not deep but it hurt and bled. Knocked sideways with a winded "Oooof" as another stallion rammed into her side. That wasn't good, giving her head a shake, dazed momenterily.
[17:34] Becky: Elliot frowned as one of the stallions knocked her to the ground, the one she injured had gone over to where she lay and Elliot didnt like the expression he wore, Stepping out of his hiding place near the mare "whats going on here boys? i hope you dont mean to take this mare" she said swaggering a little, cooly confident "she's mine"
[17:37] Rowen: Blinking confused for a moment till her vision cleared, what had happend registering in her head. Looking up at the hunky boy she had oogled. Then looking over at the other stallions. "You herd him, get lost." Giving them a scornful expression, her side and head sore but she was still up for kicking a**. Though they seemd a little more unsure now there was 2 of them.
[17:41] Becky: Elliot almost growled "be quiet thief" he said to the mare before stepping out a little more, showing the unruly boys his muscles, but just then his ears developed an itch, making them twich amusingly and one of them stifled a laugh, glaring in that direction he took a deep breath "you think my ears are funny?" he asked dangerously as the Stallions got more courage up.
[17:44] Rowen: Glaring at the hunk for a moment for calling her a thief, then grinning. Well she was a thief so she couldn't really be mad at him. Seeing the other stallions, thinking this was going to go badly. Keeping quiet as hunk seemd more pissed at them then her at this point.
[17:46] Becky: One of the bigger stallions decided to try his luck, taking a swift blow at Elliot, only to land on thin air, and jarring himself then he knew nothing more as Elliot knocked him out with a hard blow to te side of his head. crouching a little like a predator on the hunt Elliot looked around "who's next?" she grinned dangerously
[17:50] Rowen: Watching as the 2 uninjured stallions looked at eachother. No longer laughing they were starting to rethink this fight. She was watching the bleeding stallion, he was clearly still pissed but was weighing up the odds, especially as she had got him good with her horn.
[17:55] Becky: Elliot was dissapointed the stallions decided that the mare wasnt worth getting beaten up this badly for, they fled leaving Elliot to confront the mare. "I want my things back ..... NOW" he said, scarily calml
[17:58] Rowen: She nods and wiggles a little so they moved down her neck, not arguing at all, giving them back without a single protest. Actually feeling she should apologuise. "Thanks for helping me, even after I ran off with your stuff... It was more of a prank than wanting to keep it... I'm sorry though..." She knew she sucked at apologies but she wasn't sure he would appreciate that she had just wanted to see a little more than was on display while he was washing.
[18:01] Becky: Elliot glared down at the smaller mare, gathering his things he put them back on, ignoring her attempt at an apology "you're lucky you didnt join that stallion" indicating the one still unconcious, and turned his back on her ready to walk off, but he glanced behind him just barely noticeable with a small movement of his head.
[18:05] Rowen: Her expression was a rare one of guilt. "I'm really sorry ok... I... I just wanted to see if you were all as hunky as the top part..." Sighing feeling really bad, but then she probably should have guessed that he would be pissed, after all everyone hated thieves. Looking over at him, not once having staird at his ears alone. Liking the whole package. "I'm sorry..." Turning to leave not wanting to fight him, her side was throbbing.
[18:07] Becky: Elliot stopped, now THIS apology sounded genuine so he turned, then noticed she winced slightly moving towards her carefully "are you alright?" he asked not wanting to leave her alone if she was hurt, he wasnt so sure that the stallions woudlnt come back with him gone
[18:12] Rowen: Looking over at him, surprised a little by his concern, nodding. "Yeah, I just think that mutton head brused me when he charged." Her ribs aching as she breathed, she should probably be glad that nothing was broken. Offering a faint smile, still looking a little guilty under the faint wince on her face. "I'm Lorin, and I really do thank you, those... well they were more than I could have handled on my own."
[18:14] Becky: Elliot's face softened just a little "my name is Elliot, and i dont like bullies" he said meaning the stallions ganging up on her "do you want some compay or an escort home perhaps" he asked, then realised she hadnt yet made a single comment about his ears, and that was a huge surprise for him since EVERYONE said something about them
[18:19] Rowen: "I don't really call anywhere home, I'm not really welcome anywhere." usually finding a place away from others to sleep safely, but eventually she would take a little too much and have to move on. Smiling at him though when his expression softend a bit, he was sexy when he was mad but clearly had a dangerous temper. But like this he looked hunky. "But thank you for the offer Elliot, I don't think I'd be much of a match if they came back." Thinking the IF was pretty sure, she had pissed them off, especially the one she cut, they would be back.
[18:22] Rowen: (I posted but sometimes they dont send)
[18:23] Becky: (posts in a sec, busy right now .. lol)
[18:23] Rowen: (its ok just like to know my posts go through as sometimes longer ones dont)
[18:39] Becky: Elliot smiled genuinely "neither do i, i just roam around usually where i'm sent" he said, not revealing too much of why he had been in the particular area. He wiggled his ears a little as he thought over things "why dnt i accompany you for a while?" he suggested
[18:43] Rowen: Smiling and nodding, her face splatters with a little blood from the fight. "Thank you, I'd be grateful for the help." Not meaning helping that she needed help, but it would be a big help to not have to fight more stallions off. Not really even glancing at his ears as they wiggle, though she did find it cute, but he really didn't want to know that. Wandering over closer. "Maybe we can find something to eat?"
[18:46] Becky: Elliot looked around, not fancying grass for lunch, he saw a peach tree "thats an odd place for a peach tree" he said to himself out loud heading towards it, licking his lips at the thought of the juicy fruit, turning back to Lorin he noticed some blood on her cheek, reaching up he wiped it off, not thinking about it really
[18:52] Rowen: Looking surprised, then at the smudge of blood on his nose now she smiles. "Thanks." Catching up the end of her scarf in her mouth and wiping the blood away. Dropping it after he was clean and looking over at the peach tree. "Yeah but its as good a place as any... They look good..." Feeling more hungry now that she had noticed the tree.
[18:55] Becky: Elliots eyes gleamed now she wasnt staeling his things she was rather fun. After she had wiped the blood of HIS nose he turned back the the tree, eyeing the peaches that seemed too high to reach he took a big leap from a standstill, twisting himself he kicked the tree with his back legs, making the branches shiver, cursing that it didnt work the first time he tried again.
[19:07] Rowen: Watching, startled by what he was doing, letting him tackle the tree while she finds a rock, taking off her scarf once she finds one the right size. Watching to see how much luck he was having with the tackleing the tree, pulling the scarf around the rock making a mock grapling hook without the hook but hopefully the rock would rap the scarf around the branch.
[19:09] Becky: Managing to shake the tree this time, some of the peaches fell, but in falling they split open. Lookng sheepish he saw that she was doing something with her scarf and a large rock, he stood curious and watched her
[19:13] Rowen: Picking up the scarf half a leg length from the rock and starting to swing it, looking at the branch. Swinging and after it picked up a good speed she let it looser, the cloth sliding between her teeth. stopping it as the rock goes over the branch and wrapps around a couple of times. Pulling on it the branch starting to bend lower.
[19:20] Becky: Elliot was very impressed "how did you figure out how to do that?" he asked nipping forwards to grab as many of the leaches as he could while Lorin held the branch low.
[19:25] Rowen: Lorin looked at him, not able to talk till he had cleared all the peaches he could get to, letting the scarf go when he was out the way, the scarf and rock falling loose to the ground. "I'm a thief remember, I watch the humans sometimes, they have all kinds of useful tricks for a girl like me. Though getting food is the most use I found for that one, humans can do it and climb really tall things though." Putting her scarf back on once she had got the rock out. Walking over to join him and the bounty they had gotten. "This is what good team work does." Grinning the peaches smelling really good.
[19:26] Becky: Elliot shared the peaches out, making sure she had the larger pile as it was her idea in the first place, biting into a particularly juicy one it dribbled all down his chin.
[19:33] Rowen: Taking a bite out of one, so sweet and juicy. "Mmmmm" munching happily on hr peach, juice on her chin too, the peaches were great and just what she needed. Her eyes closed as she enjoyed, her right ear flicking slightly in pleasure, the piercings on it twinkling in the sunlight.
[19:35] Becky: "These are delicious aren't they Lorin" Elliot commented, before he was almost blinded by a glare of light bouncing off her jewellery, "GAH" he exclaimed blinking hard, but laughing at the same time, spitting a peach pit at her
[19:44] Rowen: Ducking the peach pip she looked over at him, not sure what she had done. "What?" Her ear twitch totally unknown to her, it just twitched when she was enjoying herself but only when it was really good.
[19:44] Becky: (be back asap, gotta go fetch connor in and get food on)
[19:44] Rowen: (ok)
[20:04] Becky: (i'm gonna go eat, be back soonish)
[20:04] Rowen: (ok enjoy)
[20:41] Becky: (back) "Your Jewellery blinds me when it flashes" he said flicking another peach pit at her, grinning now and getting to his feet.
[20:43] Rowen: The ear in question swiveld round and flattened in her mane, looking over at him as he gets up. "Sorry..." Not having realised that it was doing anything, though now she looked a little odd with only one ear visable.
[20:45] Rowen: ( snickers at capacha: wore of)
[20:46] Becky: (lol)
[20:47] Becky: Elliot's face dropped "i didnt mean for you to hide it, i'll just move out of the glare" he said moving to the sideof her instead of in front, suddenly almost without him noticing it, he realised it was getting late and the light was fading slowly "we'd better make camp somewhere" he said.
[20:50] Rowen: Nodding and looking round. "Well there's a rock face a small way off over there *nodding through the trees. "It would make a good defenceable spot to camp." putting the leftover peaches into her scarf like a small pouch. "Breakfast!" Grinning and gettign up.
[20:54] Becky: Elliot nodded at her suggestion "a rock face would be good provided the wind blows in the right direction" he said, knowing first hand what a bad direction could do
[20:58] Rowen: Nodding, though she had more been thinking on stallions with revenge in mind. But she smiled and started walking along. Her side was still sore but it had eased up a little at least. Hoping that there had been a rockfall recently, that often meant that there was more shelter against the elements.
[21:00] Becky: Elliot gestured for Lorin to lead the way "since i'm not all that familiar with this area" he said, remembering why he was here, he knew he'd have to go and finish that soon, or the boss'd be upset with him
[21:03] Rowen: Lorin nods and walks along quietly, wondering what if anything she should talking about. His comments had left her thinking that asking what brought him here might be a bad idea. Looking over at him, her eyes appreciative. Though he was a tasty hunk of stallion, and that made her want to get to know him.
[21:03] Becky: (will respond in a sec)
[21:10] Becky: Elliot follows, not knowing what to say at the moment, knowing that probably tomorrow he'll have to finish waht he came for, he wondered if the boss would give him some time off, though not likely, but he knew he'd do what was needed for his 'boss' since he pretty much owed him his life
[21:15] Rowen: Watching him as they walk, making herself look away after a time, he was definately a tasty sample of male, but ah well a girl could dream. Then again even she wasn't one for casual affairs. And she didn't know him well enough to even be thinking such things so she made herself stop.
[21:16] Becky: He noticed her looking at him, he wasnt sure if she was curious about his ears or not, laying them back against his neck, shaking his mane to cover them he walked on, concious that she kept looking at him.
[21:19] Rowen: Looking at the ground as they walked towards the growing rock face. Sighing softly having noticed him hiding his ears. "Sorry... I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I... I just think your really attractive..." Starting to realise that his ears were a sore spot for him
[21:38] Rowen: (lets you plot)
[21:40] Becky: Elliot stopped short, amazed at what she'd just said "i'm ....attractive?" he asked pretty much astonished, he wasnt sure what to say at all right now, it wasn't something he had ever prepared for
[21:43] Becky: (giggles at captcha... enough trenton)
[21:49] Rowen: Looking over at him surprised that he didn't know that. Nodding. "Well I think so, that's kind of why I ran off with your things..." Blushing faintly.. "Because I wanted to see all of you not just your head.. Umm yeah maybe not the best way to do it but it worked kind of." Laughing nervously, not sure if reminding him was a good idea, then again hhe was probably horrorfied at having a plain trouble maker like her say something like that. "Its ok you know, I didn't think you would you know... reciprocate..." Walking on before she put the rest of her hooves in her mouth.
[21:49] Rowen: (hehe quite good)
[21:53] Becky: "well you got a good enough look before i took my things back" he said, remembering the fight earlier, he had enjoyed it alot, and woudltn hesitate to 'have fun' again but he also blushed a little, taking in the mare for the first time, noticing the way her mane shone and her belt and earring caught the fading sunlight
[22:00] Rowen: Still walking, looking over the rock face and changing direction slightly, more towards an alcove in the rock, it would give the most shelter. Not aware of his looking over at her til lshe looked round to see if he followed.
[22:02] Becky: Elliot backed slightly, thinking he was glad his cheeks were dark as he blushed, ears twitching as he looked down at his hooves, but then he recovered himself and looked up, grinning "ok, you go get some rest i'll keep watch for our unruly 'friends'" he said
[22:06] Rowen: Giving him a heart felt grateful smile, it warmed her face from its usual cheeky mischevious expression. "Thank you Elliot, your probably the kindest person I know." Heading into the little semicircle of stone and laying down carfully. Putting the peaches on a small rock for morning. "Wake me in a few hours, I'll take watch then." Looking over at him, a bruse showing on her side under her pail fur.
[22:09] Becky: Elliot's face stiffened "i'm not kind" he said softly to himself after she'd lain down, turing against any possible wind he stood watch, sighing softly "if you knew what i've done" he mumbled only for himself to hear thinking of his 'boss'
[22:11] Rowen: Laying her head down, able to hear his soft words in this small sheltered space. "We have all done things we are ashamed of... But you have been kind to me when you had every reason not to be. Whatever it is that you do or have done that burdans you, I dont need to know and it wont change my view of you."
[22:14] Becky: Elliot visibly winced, he hadnt meant for her to hear him, "i ....well...erm..." he stammered unsure how to reply to her comment she looked pretty in the growing dark, like a shining light in the cavern as the last rays struck her pale pelt. His mouth went dry, knowing that he'd most likely be moving out of her territory soon, he turned away, looking out over the horizon.
[22:18] Rowen: Closing her eyes, after watching him a little while, smiling softly and drifting off to sleep. Sleeping deeply, feeling oddly safe with this stallion she barely knew. And somehow she knew their paths would cross again... She would make sure of it.

[20:52] Becky: Elliot got up slowly, wincing as he put his leg down, realising he was pretty badly injured he smiled, it meant more time with Lorin since he couldnt go back to the boss like this, he frowned though at the dirt caking him, *it must have been last night* he thought, not remembering any dirt during his 'job'

[20:52] Becky: (got nothing after that one)
[20:53] Rowen: (posted this)
[20:53] Rowen: "Either that or your wild run" not sure what it all was but starting to know better than to ask. "Theres more food at the shelter if you want, or I can go find a stream" Not wanting him to walk around unnecicerily on his leg.
[20:54] Becky: Elliots eyes lit up, "a stream or any water would be good Lorin" he said, smiling, then his stomach grumbled, realising he hadnt eaten since the day before he started towards the shelter "join me for breakfast first?" he asked her
[20:57] Rowen: She nodded, smiling, walking along slowly with him, having a vague idea which way water was, but she would check that out after they ate. Though he didn't smell as badly of blood any more.
[20:58] Becky: Smiling as she joined him he wnet to the supplies, snorting as he found a carrot, Eyes wide he tried to make his face go blank, rather than possibly upset Lorin, she couldnt have known, but his disgust was as clear as daylight
[21:01] Rowen: Lorin tried not to snicker. "If you don't like it toss it my way." Not as fussy with food, walking over and taking the offending carrot.
[21:03] Becky: Elliot couldnt even touch the carrot, let alone hand it to Lorin, and he was releived when she took it, nosing about some more he found a few more of the tasty red berries she had found before *how did i miss those?! he thought, bending his injured leg so he could reach the berries without hurting himself any more than he was
[21:10] Rowen: Lorin munched down the offending carrot, thinking she would have to find some more of those berries. Smiling to herself letting him have the pick of the food. Taking an apple before she wandered off to find the water for him, sure that he would be done by the time she came back.
[21:12] Becky: Elliot lay back down gently, snuffling at the food, trying to find more berries, but failing, instead he tore at the grass, accomanying that with a few small nuts she'd found, now he was full and the sun was wakring the trees he started getting dozy, his head lolling onto his chest
[21:21] Rowen: Wandering back to find him dosing, smiling and taking some more of the frit for herself. Settleing down and letting him doze. Resting her head down while she waits.
[21:22] Becky: Elliot's eyes snapped open, tensing as he tried to get up quickly, trying to force himself not to wince, he'd heard something that had woken him instantly, but then he sighed, realising it was Lorin "Hello, did you find some water?" he asked licking his lips, feeling his mouth dry a little
[21:28] Rowen: Lifting her head, nodding with her usual easy smile. "Yes I did, theres a stream not far away, not deep but the water is flowing and theres good rocks for scrubbing against."
[21:30] Becky: Elliot smiled, "lead the way" he said, following slowly after her, his fur feeling all stiff and hard in places, limping on his injured leg he gritted hsi teeth and carried on,
[21:32] Rowen: Nodding she lead him to the stream she had found. The water was clear enough to show the rocks she had mentiond. It was deap enough that he wouldn't have to bend too much but not so deap that he would need to swim either.
[21:35] Becky: limping as fast as he could towards the now visible stream he charged (slowly) into the water, sending spray everywhere, dipping his head under the water and tilting it towards the oncoming flow of water he managed to wash most of the blood off his face, he spied a large rock and went over, starting to rub against it, gasping as he opened up a large slash on his shoulder.
[21:41] Rowen: Settleing on the bank seeing the water staind with th new and old blood. Her expression a general one of concern. But then even seeing this she didn't ask, just watching him wash off.
[21:44] Becky: Elliot turned to a different part of his body, gritting his teeth at the many wounds he scrubbed, but he knew if he didnt open them up and let the water cleanse them they could get infected, he watched distracted as his blood mingled with the water, at least he was clean now, eyeing Lorin he had a plan, splashing her with water
[21:50] Becky: (stretches her back out.. ugh.. stiff today)
[21:51] Rowen: Jumping up with a squeak, shaking the water off. Dunking a hoof into the stream and kicking water back at him. Poking her tongue out as she was now partially wet, bt then again, splashign water at him seemd pointless as he was already soaked.
[21:52] Becky: splashing towards her at a semi run he sent a small wave of water in her direction, "c'mon in, the water is good" he called, feeling a vague sense of De Ja Vu
[21:55] Rowen: Strippign her boots and scarf off she grinnd and decided to be weird. Taking a few quick steps over the water, actually walking on it for those few steps. Dropping into the stream with a big splash when she stopped next to him.
[21:57] Becky: Elliot laughed as she jumped in, flattening his ears to head head as the splash hit him, but a rock slipped beneath his hoof and he jarred his shoulder against the bank, "ARGH" he yelled, more annoyed than anything else, rinsing off in the stream he headed back out of the water, shaking a little bit
[22:02] Rowen: Lorin looked worried as he jarred himself, thoguh he also looked mad. Wanderign back out the water, wonderign why he becond her in if he was just going to leave. Shaking off when she emerged, looking over at him, seeing more wounds that had been hidden by th dirt. "Maybe you should see a healer?"
[22:05] Becky: Elliot turned on Lorin, literally snapping in her face "NO!" he yelled, "No healers" he said angrily, laying his ears backhe turned his back on her and started back to camp, hissing as his wounds snet sharp pains through his body, healers asked questions, the sort of questions Elliot couldnt answer, and if he didnt answer he'd be suspicious, also the boss would do worse than what he had now
[22:05] Becky: if he found out Elliot had visited a Healer
[22:08] Rowen: Lorin's ears flatternd too, watching him walk off, it having been a friendly suggestion. Sighing and tieing the end up on one of her little boots, going off to get some food for the. Giving him time to calm down, taking time to find as many of the red berries as she could. Not a single carrot in the little bag she had made as she wanders back to camp a couple of hours later.*
[22:10] Becky: Elliot looked breifly to Lorin when she returned, he felt bad for yelling at her, she knew nothing of what he did, who he worked for, and it had to stay that way, unless he wanted her trapped in the same fate, he was loyal to his boss, and would never turn on him, after all he'd be dead if it hadnt been for him, but it didnt mean he agreed with everything, he hung his head too ashamed to meet her
[22:10] Becky: eyes, he scuffed the dirt with his hoof, hair hanging down into his eyes, ears drooping.
[22:13] Rowen: Tipping her little bag over infront of his nose showing a massive bounty of th berries he had liked so much. Giving him a little nudge with her nose as she settles down next to him. Her usual smile in place seeming none th worse for wear at him yelling at her. Having had worse, seeming ot have gone and gotten his favourites to make him feel better.
[22:15] Becky: Elliot smiled a tiny bit, she'd gone out to find the berries he liked "thank you" he mumbled, froim under his hair, then she nidged him with her nose and an unfamiliar thrill went through him, "i'm sorry for yelling, i just....cant afford to risk a Healer" he admitted, saying more than he wanted to but not enough either*
[22:17] Rowen: Blowing his hair out his face so she could look at him she smiled. "Its ok, though you know I'm not dun, I can guess at what is going on, but its ok I wont ask." Dropping the topic there, not sure what kept him quiet but she could respect it none the less.
[22:19] Becky: Elliot opened his mouth to explain everything, he didnt want to hold anything back from her, but, he hung there, mouth open, eyes searching her face, he nodded and nibbled on the berries, feeling rather depressed at the moment, he didnt know why his stomach was knotting, nor did he know why he wanted to be honest with Lorin, he'd never had a problem before dealing with females
[22:24] Rowen: Kissing his cheek, her eyes soft. "Don't... whatever it is, you seem to think it needs to be kept secret. And the look in your eyes... I get the feeling your protecting me again, and thats ok. But don't think your on your own. I'll be around, one way or another." Not wanting him to do somethign he didn't want to do.
[22:26] Becky: Elliot closed his eyes tight, frowning after she had kissed him, letting out a big sigh he looked up, with a smile fixed on his face, "well we dont need to worry for now, i cant go home til i'm healed" he said, seemingly cheery
[22:27] Rowen: Giving him a grin. "Ok then I'll keep playing nurse." Finding the notion amusing,not havign wanted to look after someone before. though something about Elliot made her want to look after him, and chase th frowns off of his face.
[22:29] Becky: Elliot Nudged Lorin, "well nurse what do you percsribe?" he joked, though his eyes remained a little shadowed, nibbling some more of the red berries, he pushed some towards her, sharing
[22:34] Rowen: Smiling at the nudge. "Plenty of rest and a strict diet of your favourite foods." Eating some of the berries but not many. Smiling to herself, though she worried a little, not totally sure what waited back home for him, but his injuries were the only thing keeping him here. Feeling a little sad at that thought.
[22:35] Becky: Elliot silently sighed, as an faint look of concern corssed her face, licking her cheek and nudging her with his nose "hey, cheer up i'l be here a long while it seems" he said trying to cheer her up
[22:39] Rowen: She smiled at him, nuzzleing softly. "I know, I'm not about to let you go traveling till your totally fine!" Giving him a dont even try it look, able to be annoyinly stubborn occasionally. Though the effect was ruind by her smile coming back.
[22:41] Becky: moving to lay beside her he flicked his hair out of his face, his ears twitching without him realising it
[22:47] Rowen: Nuzzleing him again gently, snuggleing up to him. Something tender about the action. Her side pressed up against his.
[22:47] Rowen: (I just had an idea)
[22:48] Becky: (ok?)
[22:49] Becky: (wonders what the idea is)
[22:51] Rowen: (well its a toss out there for their plot, that they actually go their seperate ways after their little romance as she wont let him tell her his secret because he is so torn over it. tracking him down later to tell him he will be a father or some such. Not sure if its a good idea but it popped into my head)
[22:52] Becky: (sounds cool, would have to work around with Biki if she tracks him down.... unless he isnt at the Hatter's home when she finds him?)
[22:53] Rowen: (we can work round it somehow, its just an idea at the moment we can worry about that later when lorin is a physical set of pixles)
[22:53] Becky: (its sounds more like the two to separate when he's healed, maybe they bump into one another when he's out on another mission.... maybe a nearby area and he actually searches for her while he's there?)
[22:55] Rowen: (he could do though she roams too, but sh might linger if she finds she is expecting sa its a safe place to have foals)
[22:55] Becky: (maybe she stays around hoping that he'll return? after wandering for a while?)
[22:56] Rowen: (could very well be the case, she starts to leave and comes back in hopes he will find her here again)
[22:57] Becky: (that'd be cool ... we'd have to snare a breeding for that rp to go ahead though?)
[22:57] Becky: (or can we pretend foals in your private forum?)
[22:58] Rowen: (no sure how that works, I'll have to make a note to ask one of the other threadgoers)
[22:58] Rowen: (hehe we can pretend anythign there)
[22:58] Becky: (mmhm.. haha true.. and we COULD avoid trouble by pretending only one was born? .. and either wandered off never to be seen again or gets killed? ... lol)
[22:59] Becky: (we could even pool our funds and quest for the possible foal? later on)
[23:00] Rowen: (yeah all possible, thoguh I can log whatever we rp later when Lorin is made or we can re rp it and use this all as a base to go off, changing and addign bits as we think of thme for more fun plot)

Becky: Elliot limped along "oh...no nowhere special" he said, not wanting to go towards home, he knew that Blood would most likey NOT appreciate Elliot bringing her there, sighing he nuzzled and nipped at the base of her mane.
[13:32] Becky: (meh, gaia shops are slow today)
[13:47] Rowen: Smiling at the nipping and nuzzleing him with her nose. "Then we can head west then." Nodding and smiling, looking round "We should get some things together, some food for traveling, no telling when we will find more."
[13:47] Rowen: (yeah gaias been slow today)
[13:52] Becky: Elliot smiled and nodded, he found some sweet fungus as the base of a tree, unable to resist he nibbled at it, deciding that it was yummy he ate nearly all of it, leaving one large cap that he took over to Lorin. Dropping it at her feet he stood proudly, neck arched, ears askew "thats tasty" he said simply before trotting off to find things that could be pakced, nuts, leaves fruits and the like
[13:59] celticrowen: Lorin smiles, faintly amused, but also charmed by the way he jumped right into doing something she suggested, leaning down and eating the fungus he had found. Having made mental note of his sweet tooth. Wandering along to do the same, looking for foods they could take with them, thinking she might do well to slip off to where the humans were and permanantly borrow a bag to carry things in.

Elliot froze, he was deep into the trees and he'd thought he was alone when out of the blue a human appeared, it didnt look agressive, but you could never tell with humans. He slowly backed away, the human following slowly too, he resisted the urge to turn and run *i am not a weakling to run from a human* he thought to himself. He hoped this wasnt one of the humans involved in his 'job' he didnt know, they all looked the same to him, but he noticed it took great interest in his deeper visible wounds, his body shaking from the effort of disobeying instinct he made it back to where he'd left Lorin, he didnt dare look away from the two legged creature.
[14:03] Revel1984: (wow long post is long)
[14:13] celticrowen: Lorin looks over as he backs into the glen, moving up beside him. "Just what I was after..." Smiling and walking towards the human, wanting the bag it had, thinking if she could snatch it and run it might chase her and Elliot could meet her somewhere else. "Start heading west, I'll catch up to you." Giving the human a good bump as she takes the bag and ststarts off in the opposite direction from where she wanted him to go.
[14:20] Revel1984: Elliot barely had time to utter an argument "bu...but" before Lorin had bumped the human, snatching its bag and running off. He was too surprised by her action to move for a minute, noting that in that time the Human's face grew dark as it got up from the floor. Shuddering from that look he turned to move, but the Human had his gaze locked and Elliot couldn't break it, surely this creature wasn't real, nothign could stare that long and hard?! he shivered as his body told him to run but his mind was locked. It was then he knew that he'd stayed too long, it was an easy thing to avoid others of his own kind, btu Humans....were different, and seemed to never forget.
[14:20] Revel1984: (again..long post is long)
[14:24] Revel1984: (eep sorry i poofed)
[14:36] celticrowen: Stopping when she noted the human hadn't followed her, quietly picking her way back, taking time to make sure she was as quiet as possible, stood in the shade of the bushes watching the human glare at elliot. Considering her options, but she wasn't about to let more harm come to him. The bag around her neck she debated attacking with her horn or the dagger that was in her boot(or on hr belt not decided yet) Picking the dagger as it was more effected for one strike, she drew it slowly, making her way carefully up behind the distracted human.
[14:41] Revel1984: Elliots ears twitched, he could hear something coming, and the human didnt, he hoped it wasn't Lorin, He'd be soo embarrassed if it was, after all Humans were weak compared to him, their snse of smell, touch, hearing and such were all pretty much useless to them.
[14:44] celticrowen: Not really waiting to woner why Elliot wasn't attacking the human or running she didn't hesitate. Then again she was probably breaking the few rules she had but talking to humans wasn't possible so she would assume that they wern't innocent, especially not if they had hunted elliot down. One thrust put the dagger right into the humans back, deeply imbedding it into his chest, probably striking the heart. Stood watching with a blank face as the human goes down.
[14:46] Revel1984: Elliot blinked as the HUman drew its gaze away from him, shaking his head he looked at it again slumped forwards with a dagger in its back looking around he saw Lorin "h..how did you.....?"
[14:50] celticrowen: "Pointy end goes in.... now lets get out of here before any more show up looking for you" Pulling her dagger out, wiping it on the grass before putting it back in her boot. Heading west, giving him a look. "Come on the others will find him, he will get a proper buriel. And we can scavinge food on the way."
[14:52] Revel1984: "well i know THAT" he said sarcastically "i meant, ...well...i dont know" he said, thoughs all a jumble, she was more than he'd thought and that only made him more interested in her, wondering where she'd learnt how to throw a dagger. He followed her west, taking a tiny bit more care about his tracks that he'd ever done before.
[14:55] celticrowen: Soon as they came to the water she walked in that, it the easyest way to loose people following you, no tracks and no scent, havign filld the humans bag with fruit as they walked along. Looking over at him, wondering if he was going to ask the questions she knew would come, but then he seemd shocked, so she would let him get over that first.
[14:57] Revel1984: Trotting up beside Lorin he was going to ask her about her skill, he even go so far as to open his mouth to ask, but at the last second changed his mind "back there, i was trying to....i didn't freeze i was just....intimidating it!.. yes thats it! i was trying to intimidate the creature" he said, trying to excue the fact he had clammed up
[15:02] celticrowen: She nods and smiles at him. "I know" Not seeming concerned, though she had wondered what had made him hesitate, but she dismissed that at being part of whatever he didn't want her to know. Trotting along through the water, following the stream vaguely west till it hit a river.
[15:06] Revel1984: Following behind was a slightly depressed Elliot, he couldn't remember the reason for his actions with the human, but deep down the memory was there, it had frozen him to the spot. his ears hung low as he followed Lorin like a lap dog, not really focussing on where they were going, but making sure to leave as little spoor as possible to be tracked by
[15:07] Revel1984: (oooh i have a idea... maybe Lorin and Elliot leave each other on bad terms?! and then she realises she's preggo?)
[15:14] Revel1984: (wb)
[15:14] celticrowen: (what will be the bad terms and how will they patch it up?)
[15:14] celticrowen: (thanks everythign went down)
[15:15] Revel1984: (bad terms... maybe an arguement about something? ... mae his ears he gets all huffy and she reacts?)
[15:15] Revel1984: (patch it up would be her telling him he's a dad.. lol)
[15:16] celticrowen: (but she likes his ears... maybe she looses it and cant resist snuggleing thme any more)
[15:17] Revel1984: (thats what i was thinking .. lol)
[15:18] Revel1984: (and he'd get all huffy and yell at her)
[15:19] celticrowen: Walking along quietly, wading out the river when it got too deep, finding this silent follower to be unlike the elliot she knew, worrying about him slightly, but she wouldn't ask, she never asked, he never seemd to want to share such things. Just leading him off as fast as possible from where they had been*
[15:21] Revel1984: The further away they got, the moer he forgot about how he'd felt when the human locked eyes with him, and his ears gradually perked back up "so Lorin, little miss sneaky" he said "how did you learn to do that back there?" he asked, the question tumbling out of his mouth like water.
[15:28] celticrowen: Looking over at him and giving him a secretive smile. "The sneeking or the deadly strike?" Smiling, seeing him more himself a good thing, slowing down a little so they could talk.
[15:29] Revel1984: Elliot stuck out his tongue "Both" he said, speeding up so that he was walking next to her, his ears twitched and his tail swished in rythym with his steps.
[15:32] celticrowen: Loring shrugs a little. "I grew up learning such things... Stelth and the timing of a good strike... Then again I probably shouldn't talk too much about it."
[15:34] Revel1984: Elliot shrugged and winced, but held his tongue, he was itching to know where she'd been raised, but he too had his own secrets that he couldnt reveal so he kept silent, content to just be walking beside her as the day grew late.
[15:35] celticrowen: Looking around. "I think we might have made enough ground to stop for the night, now we just need to be up early and gone in the morning."
[15:37] Revel1984: Nodding tiredly he lay down with an *oomph*, his muscles sore and his wounds ached "was there anything in that bag?" he asked "you know befire you put the fruit in it?
[15:40] celticrowen: "Mmmm something in the bottom, but I didn't stop to look." Putting the bag down so that they could get somethign to eat from it. "Why are you expecting to find something specific?"
[15:42] Revel1984: Elliot quickly backtracked "er, no ... just.. curious" he said, fumbling his words a little. nosing into the bag he took out some fruit, nudging the juiciest looking towards Lorin he chewed slowly, little bits of liquid dribbling down his chin.
[15:51] celticrowen: Eating some of the fruit, emptying out the bag for him, whatever had been in the bottom falling out as she stands back up. "I'll get some more for tomorrow while we are stopped, whats left from today will probably get eaten when we wake up." Smiling and nuzzleing his cheek before heading off to find some more food for the next day. Leaving him with the humans items.
[15:55] Revel1984: (brb lunch)
[15:55] celticrowen: (ok)
[16:10] Revel1984: (back)
[16:11] celticrowen: (wb)
[16:11] Revel1984: Licking her as she nuzzled him he stared at the items, nosing through them as she left, hoping to find soemthing he thought was likely in there if he'd been tracked
