Woodlands Ho!

[DivenWest]

"Not here," he whispered, and picked her up. "My back cant take that."

He caried her to the sleeping room and laid her down and then laid next to her, wraping his arms around her.
"Good night," he whispered, closing his eyes.

[Rotzi]

In her sleep, Kiara pulled herself closely to the warm fuzzy thing next to her. Her muzzle nuzzled part of it while her paws held onto it tightly.

"Mmm... silly vixen...." she said, talking in her sleep. "I told you... tapdancing llamas are invading Japan... an' makin' out with some sailor senshi...." Kiara shifted in her sleep, pulling herself closer still. "Mmm...." she sighed, apparently that part of the dream ending.

What's sad is that I've actually said that to someone in my sleep before...

[DivenWest]

Diven smiled, she was definatly interesting, asleep and awake. He snuggled closer to her and fell asleep.

[Rotzi]

Days turned to weeks, weeks to months... Kiara had finally grew used to her body during that time. She was rather happy, too. She was finally as good with her sword as she was as a human. Better, in fact.

She was even working on empowering her sword once more. Kiara had done it many times before. And now it was time to work on it in this form. She had spent that day away from Diven, clearing her mind and focusing on the task at hand.

She smiled to herself, seeing her sword shimmer with power. I've still got it. Kiara stood, simultaneously sending that energy she just used back to where it came from.

Kiara practically was skipping back to the den. "Diven-kun!" she called with a giggle.

[DivenWest]

Diven came out of the den and smiled brightly at her, "So, why so secretive today kitten? Something I should know about?" He streached and laid out in the sun, feeling its warm rays.

[Rotzi]

Kiara blushed a bit. He'd been calling her kitten recently. She didn't /mind/ but then again...

"Not much of a secret. I've been practing, as you know..." She smiled brightly. "And I can use my magick again. You remember me talking about it, right? Way back when we first met. I haven't been able to empower my sword since the transformation." She was bouncing happily. "And I finally was able to do it today!"

She looked up at the sky, smiling happily. Something more was on her mind, but she wasn't sure how to word it. Well, she /did/ know how to word it, but Kiara doubted that now was the time to bring it up.

[DivenWest]

"Thats great!" he exclamed and gave her a hug. "I told you you could do it. Come inside, I have dinner all ready."

Inside, there was steaming steaks Diven had traded the last of the wine for, swearing never to drink it again. Allong with the steaks there were potatos, baked under the ashes of the fire and various vegatibles stewed in a butter sauce. During the last few months, he had rediscovered a reason to cook, not just for himself, but for Kiara.

[Rotzi]

"Alright! Food, food, food." Kiara followed him into the den, resisting the urge to skip again. She was truly grateful to have found someone like him. Not only was he a great friend, but he could cook as well. To someone who usually only did survivor cooking, or something similar to that, she was most grateful. She was even attempting to learn how to cook as well.

After eating every last bit she could, Kiara dragged Diven off to the springs. It seemed to be ritual for them to bathe after dinner. It may have taken her a while, but she finally got over her shyness for the most part. Hell, she had even offered to wash Diven's back a few times.

She was a bit nervous this time. Kiara could once again here the call of the wind, beckoning her to leave, to travel once more. She leaned against Diven's shoulder and sighed.

"Diven? Can... we talk?" That was a silly question. Kiara knew she could talk to him about anything. However she wasn't too sure he'd be up to leaving.

[DivenWest]

Diven knew something was bothering her, "Sure, whats wrong, you have been acting nervious all day."

He wrapped his arm around her and gently scritched the back of her neck. He smiled warmly at her.

[Rotzi]

Here goes nothing... Kiara sighed. "I, well... I was wondering if you like to travel..." She looked to the sky, leaning on his shoulder as he scritched her. The urge to leave was strong, but the feeling of wanting to be with the fox was much, much stronger.

She remembered what it was like, when he first asked her to stay. How he looked when she returned after thinking about it. He was just so sad... broken almost. She didn't want to see him like that again. Ever.

"And.. if you do, do you want to leave? Just for a little while. Not for long, if you don't want to..."

[DivenWest]

Diven was silent for a moment, then looked up at her with a small smile on his face. "I knew the wonder lust would never leave you. I would be happy to travel with you for a while, I have been in one place far too long. Any where in particular you want to go?"
He held her gently, one arm across her shoulders, the other gently rubbing her arm.

[Rotzi]

"I hear the ocean is terrific this time of year..." Kiara snuggled with Diven. It was almost reflexive whenever he held her now.

"And I've always wanted to see it..." She held her hand out of the water. "I just hope that the sand comes out easily... and that salt water doesn't bother me..."

[DivenWest]

"The ocean it is then. Thats a good months journy from here by foot. How about we leave tomorow?"
He gently squeased her shoulders and took her paw in his. He smiled warmly at her. "You have water on your whiskers," he laughed.

[Rotzi]

Kiara giggled. "Of cours I do." She flicked some water onto him. "You're muzzle's a bit wet, too." The lynx smiled at him.

"If we're gonna leave tomorrow, we need to get ready now, then get some sleep, okies?" She rose gracefully from the water, offering her hand to Diven. "Shall we?"

[DivenWest]

He accepted her hand and rose from the water. He embraced her, hugging her gently. "Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?" he whispered in her ear.

He held her gently, awaiting her reply. He hoped she wouldn't reject him.
