Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chloe: - flops down in the clearing, careful of her mechanical leg –

Ethan: *gives a small yawn as he wanders a path close by* - w-.... *sniffs a few times and perks up at catching Chloe's scent* Chloe?

Chloe: - turns her head to the side, searching for Ethan - Ethan? - slowly gets up, wobbling on her legs - Where are you?

Ethan: *flicks his ears quickly at her voice, pushing himself through the bushes and around trees to peak around with a smile* Right here, I guess.

Chloe: - stumbles over closer to him, smiling - What are you doing out here? Or, well, I guess that's kind of a stupid question with your, uh, condition and all.

Ethan: *quickly clears the rest of the distance, smiling wide as he stands close* Its not a stupid question, I was taking a walk... What about you? I didn't expect to see you out here.

Chloe: - fidgets - Well, today's been weird. My leg keeps almost giving out on me, so I found somewhere to lay down without being interrupted, but . . . - smiles - that didn't work out. And I'm glad it didn't. - wobbles again –

Ethan: *frowns* Sorry about that... *shakes his head at himself as he takes ahold of her arm lightly, moving to stand beside her to keep her steady, changing back to his smile* Mind if I join you? You could lie back down.

Chloe: - smiles sweetly - I said it was a good thing, didn't I? I really wasn't going to fall asleep anyway, the way things were turning out. Too bright. - giggles, adjusting to it and straightening out - Pretty please? - without waiting for an answer, slowly lowers herself, bringing Ethan down with her –

Ethan: *can't help but give a half smile* Heh, I could still apologize for being an interruption, even a good one... *lets himself go down with her, chuckling at her pulling* I guess when you put it that way, I can't resist *easily settles himself down beside her, reaching to take ahold of her hand*

Chloe: Nope, not even that. - laughs, making it clear she's playing with him and smiles encouragingly, sighing in content - I love it when I'm around you, it's so . . . - pauses, searching for the right word, but can't seem to find it - Nice? No, amazing. - settles against his shoulder –

Ethan: Fine, I give in *pausing for a moment, he leans in slightly, sneaking a kiss on her cheek as he laughs* I love being around you too, though its more that I love you *smiles* and its not nearly as close as what its like being with you.

Chloe: - blushes and fidgets, but smiles brightly - I love you too. - laughs - I bet I love you more! As much as-as all the love in the world! - gives up on originality and flings out random things –

Ethan: *grins at her fidgeting, and gives her hand a light squeeze* I doubt you love me more. I love you that much, then into infinity and beyond~ *gives her a cheezy smile, trying to be funny*

Chloe: - raises a brow - That's a challenge, isn't it. - smile plastered on her face, she listens to his, and then tries to find something better - Well, I love you that much, times all the cheesiest, cutest statements of love ever said. Even more than - pauses, pulling something from school - than Helen loved Paris! - satisfied, she sits back, waiting on an answer –

Ethan: A challenge? Never... *grins lightly as he listens to her, faking a small pout as he pulls to hug her across the shoulders* Chloe, you make it so tough for me... But I love you more than any bit of love ever given, and even more than Romeo and Juliet, Odysseus and Penelope, or any other characters out there...*gives her a light peck* How about... we just say that ours is the best there is?

Chloe: Well, then I suppose you're my perfect match, huh? I don't think there's ever been a person more suited for me than you. - smiles and settles into the hug - That's just great then. Better than great. Waaay better than great.

Ethan: I'd like to think we're the perfect match. You're the best thing to ever happen to me *puts her head against hers, his smile growing lightly* Fantastic? Marvelous? Absolutely perfect?

Chloe: Oh, you have no idea. - sighs - The best there is. - laughs, realizing she reused what he said before –

Ethan: *chuckles as he holds her close* Exactly *glances around the clearing for a few moments* So how'd you find this place?

Chloe: Hm, well, I sort of just found someplace that seemed private. It really wasn't - er, my leg, I mean - until I got around here. It's sort of peaceful, don't you think?

Ethan: I understand that and it really is peaceful... very quiet and such... *gives her a small, warm smile, but seems to have a hard time with it as he glances back towards the trees*

Chloe: Something wrong? - blinks, peering into the trees - I don't see anything. - sits back, satisified with her own sight -
