Day : 43 Month : Tria Year : 81378 <center> <table width=350> It was a warm day, it would've been too warm if it weren't for a chilly breeze to counter the heat. The sky was a pale blue that faded to a near white towards the horizons, free of any clouds. The air seemed fresh in the parts of the island away from the city. The lithe form of the cool grey male made his way into a tree after putting the back of a book he had with him in his mouth; his hands would obviously be in use. He was in his biped form, though this fact made it none less easy to get into a comfy nook in the tree. He wore a white collared long sleeve shirt that cuffed at the end of the sleeves. His pants were an onyx hue, or were supposed to be, but a relentless cycle of wearing and washing had turned them to a faded grey. His shiney black hair cascaded like water down his neck and infront of his eyes slightly, giving him a gentle, uncaring aire about his appearance. Two cloud grey wolfish ears jutted out from his hair, the whip tail flicking a to and fro calmly at the back of his calves. He got to the nook soon enough though, and sat, opening his book and pulling out a sleek pair of reading glasses and rested them on his maw, flipping through a couple pages till he found his spot in the book and continued studying whatever it was he was studying, a relaxed sigh to end his show of movement.</table>
Day:43 Month: Tria Year: 81378 Walking a slow pace, breathing deeply as the cool wind blows through her hair. Pulling her long mixed locks of color behind her ear as they seem to swirl making different patterns. pulling her basket up to her elbow for a more comfortable postion to carry it in, she begins to diging through the papers place in it. Stoping on the sie of the path leanning on a log, se stares at the paper reading it over to herself again and again. Sighing with a great disppleasure she slumps clusmly to the ground. She crosses her legs to be polite if to meet some one, being in biped form she must remeber these things. She sets her long sky blue dress over her knee and repostions stretching her wings a bit. After getting comforable she pulls out a penicls and starts scratching down things on the peice of paper she'd brought out. Nibbling on the easer as she does so.
<center><table width=350> A single ear tilted in the other's direction before a curious eye followed it. The stranger had sat almost right under him. His tail flicked quietly, two small silver rings that rested on his tuft of black tail fur clinked together almost harmoniously. He meant not to disturb the other while she worked, but, his tail tended to do as it pleased, so he made no effort to stop the clinking. He closed his bok, one of his thumbs holding his place in it. With his free hand he removed his reading glasses and placed them in his shirt's chest pocket. watching the femme for the time being, slightly pondering what she was writting on the paper, and what the paper even was. He lifted a little, it seemed as if he were readjusting something on his back, though to everyone but him, nothing could be seen. he then rested his back again against the trunk of the tree. Silently yawning before watching the girl again
For awhile she heard nothing but the small scratching of her own penicl. But after awhile a clicking did reach her ears, not taking any notice at first just contuieing taking out another page. The page clean unwritten on. The clicking started to get to her turning her head to the orgin of the sound..." hello..is someone there...?" she spoke softly, her vocie was quiet and calm. looking at the tree studying it carefully. " If someone is there, umm it kind of hard to work..with the nosie.."...looking around on the branch slowly putting her pages away.
<center><table width=350> "heh" a small chuckle released from a slender maw, "Sorry mam, tends to think on it's own." He forced his tail under his mind's thought and ended the flicker of it. With a quick movement and jolt he had propelled himself out of the tree, and landed slightly to the left of his new company. He tucked the small book gingerly into on of his pockets before sitting where he landed. A small gentle smile caressed his lips, his eyes kind aswell as they peered out from his hanging bangs. Leaning back on his hands as he watched her pencil scribble about the paper.</table>
Kinda alittle startled at frist then, striaghtens herself up. " oh, hello, it's fine just hard to focus sometimes.."..smiling back at him her golden eyes looking over joyed. Putting the rest of her papers away and the basket aside she pulling herself up sitting on her knees. Folding back her dress and rolling her shoulders she kinda gives off a nervous laugh. " It's hard to get comfortable sometimes with my wings...so what were you doing up in the tree?" staring at him in a blank curioustiy.
<center> <table width=350"> "Just studying up on a few things" patting at the book in his pocket in jesture of sorts, then placing his hand back on the grass to keep his torso upright, "What about you?" nodding at the paper she wrote on, his smile becoming a curious line of interest, "whatcha got there?" His tail started up again, and with a frustrsted growl to himself he set a hand on it to keep it still and quiet.</table>
Blinking slightly, shaking her head to claer her mind and process his question. " Oh I was writing a story, it's a job..well..what i do..umm.." can't seem to find the right way to say it fumbling between words. Minutes later she just gives up with a big goofy grin on her face. " It's something"m ok at anyway, so what's your name stranger?" Now talking the time to look the slinder male over pulling her hair out of her face.
<center><table width=350>"Trade?" he asked to help her find the word. Moving on to the next question, the smile forming again, "Xereks, but you can call me what you like." He lifted his hand off his tail from a slight twinge of pain that had told his mind there was a lack of blood to its tip. It remained still though. "Pleasure meeting you....?" his last statement asking for her name in return, shifting slightly to get more comfortable.</table>
" Aideen, nice to meet you also.." she half bows her small wings bowing with her body,looking as though small statue. Precking up her ears and leaning up again looking around, not seeing anyone else. Feeling this not at all out of the norm. " I guess oyu come out here to read cause it's quiet huh, it's really quite ...." taking her time to think for a moment to take it in.." serene...." looking back at him and than at her basket. " so do you work around here or something?"
<center><table width=350> "My work takes me wherever I need to be" he seemed to use this answer as if he were almost avoiding bluntly giving away his profession. "But aye, it is a nice place to escape to every once and awhile" He fell backwards purposely, resting his hands on his chest and yawning, turning most of his attention to the clouds. His hair fell to the sides of his face escept for a small lock which he blew out of his veiw with a gentle breath. </table>
Moving a bit uncomfortable for a second, she takes a deep breath then smiles again. " Well I guess I should keep moving, I have alot of work to do still, i'm sure you do also. Before i go is there anything I may help you on." looking at him for a moment . Picking up her basket standing up slowly, looking down at the seemingly nice man she'd meet with a interseted yet hurried gaze.
<center><table width=350>His eyes flickered up at hers, plastering on his best pouting face that he could manage to hold, "Where you gots to go in such a hurry, s'only obvious I aint busy, school's out for a time for me" He sat up to prove he hadn't anything against her company, amber and metal colored eyes glinting obvious boredom, "and if ya have to go, take me with you" grinning a little wider now.</table>
Kinda surpised by his request, laughing alitte. " You know I was working on a story, I was going to see if i could sell it or something so I was headed to the neaerset town, I guess if you want you can come with me I wouldn't mind. I'm still kinda new to the whole job...whatever life thing..". losing grace in her speak she seems sweeter somehow, with a grace all her own. Fiddling with her collar taking a breath. Then looking back at her new friend. " your just to cute,..but sadly to tell the trust I don't know where i'm going exactly. I was just following the road beneath my feet". Rubbing the back of her head with a grin so big her eyes shut tightly, this is also from her embrassment. Blushing slightly she switches her hands with her basket kinda just waiting there not sure what to say or do next.
<center><table width=350> "I can help ya with that" referring to her 'directional malfunction' as he would have put it if he had said it aloud. Morphing smoothly into his quadrup form, he slipped out of his clothes, gathered them in his mouth and flung them about his neck where he usually kept them on occasions like this. Smiling he nodded in the direction they needed to go, which was oppposite the direction she had started to head, "This way m'lady" trotting onward, stopping a few yards away to be sure she was following. He whipped at the air with his slender tail, watching the two rings momentarily, then looking back at his new acquaintance again.
Walking up to him as he trots off, catching up after a min." thank you so much...here let me take these for you"...Pulling the clothes off his neck placeing them in her basket. Smiling she flaps her wings alittle dancing as she walks next to her friend. " so what kinda stuff do you like...you read alot...or you like fighting?.." looking at him kindly humming a soft tune in the back of her throat.
<center><table width=350>"thanks" replying as he took his clothes of his shoulder, shrugging at the question asked to him, "I do a little bit of both" his tail relentlessly moving about him. Shaking his bangs out of his eyes he looked up at her, tilting his head a bit to do so, "So, you right fantasy, realism...biographies? How-to books?" straightening his head to look at the road ahead of him, "rohmahnce?" adding an odd accent to accentuate the word.</table>
Giggling at him, holding her hand over her month. " I write alittle bit of everything...romance is my favorite but i'm writing ..I guess you could call the how to books. But for like little kids... I love writing stories mostly those it's a passion. of mine." Has a very firey look in her eyes as she talks about her trade, smiling as she looks down at him. Pulling out a small notebook and a pen scratching something down quickly. Throwing them right back in the basket afterwards grining. " so where are we going..." has very innocent, clueless look about her.
<center><table width=350> "to the city of course, isn't that where ye wanted to go to?" He glanced upward, hearing the shuffle of paper, "What kind of kid how-to books?" his curiousity being pulled at by her vague answer. "and what's ya right on that paper just now" biting at his bottom lip a bit as he watched the road and waited for his answers.</table>
" Well right now i'm writing a kids book about how babies are born and how systems of the bodies work. It's going to be in some text book to help explain someday I hope. But I really have no idea I'm just writing it don't for now." blinking kinda turning her head to the side for a moment. " oh, I was just taking down a note i thought would be kool for one of my scfi fanstany stories." looking really happy. " it's so nice for someone to be interseted in my work,....the city right...umm ok.."..keeping walking looking as though she's in deep thought.
