Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ashriel smiled as his lips touched her neck again; her fingers were tingling from being laced together with his. The wind blew past them gently, shuffling her hair off to the side. "I wish things could always be like this..." She said quietly, completely content.

Ashriel turned her head so that she could see him, before she leaned her head against his. She wanted to stay right there, she wanted time to freeze. Raevyn seemed so much more relaxed outside. She wished it could always be this way. "I wish...I wish I had enough money to make my home seem like it was outdoors. That way, maybe you'd be this comfortable and relaxed in it." She said quietly, practically whispering the words.

Ashriel pouted at the apology. "Don't apologize, please. And it was only apparent because you came outside and there was such a difference in how relaxed you were. I could tell...just barely." She told him softly, obviously upset about the fact that he felt that he had to apologize. "But it isn't fair that you aren't completely relaxed much. Maybe...maybe if I run into money, we can get a house...with lots of windows. Maybe with the outer walls made of windows! That would be nice, right?" She knew that it wasn't likely, but she wanted to pretend that it was possible.

Ashriel smiled. "Okay." She answered softly, grinning.

Jennalin smiled up at the tree, hearing their conversation faintly. She suspected this was due to her abilities, so she didn't say anything. She did, however, back herself against the tree as someone approached. When they walked by, she calmed, but something about them bothered her. "Anytime you two feel like coming down, I'm a little...bothered by the last person that walked by." She'd had a slight spike in what she could hear as they went by. That must mean that they were either were or psychic. Either way, she definitely didn't want to stay alone.

Ashriel nodded, holding on tight. She closed her eyes as they went down, making sure to keep her grip. Once they were down, she opened her eyes to look around. Sure enough, there was a man, talking on his cellphone, who glowed more like a were or a...whatever Jen was, than an ordinary person. His was too strong to be ordinary. She couldn't make out what he was saying, but he glanced at them a couple of times.

The man frowned, but he followed them, still talking. Ashriel glanced back at him, not putting much weight on her bad leg as she walked. "Raevyn, he's following us..." She whispered at a level that only Raevyn, in his proximity, could hear. Jennalin frowned as she saw that the man was following them; this couldn't be good. No way could they go straight home without the weres finding out where they lived.

Ashriel nodded, carefully walking along with him. It was difficult for her to walk at the pace they were, and she flinched with pain a couple of times. Jennalin came to stand closer to them, so that she wouldn't get lost.

The man was cursing loudly now, having gotten more than lost after the second turn. He was loud enough that Ashriel could even hear, and Ash looked up at Raevyn, hoping that they could head home now. She dare not speak yet.
