I glance over at him and lose my footing, almost falling had I not grabbed a near by tree. "I'm the clumsiest elf in all the damn world," I hiss under my breath righting myself as best I can without slipping on, well, anything. "Yeah, I'll look though just to let you know, I don't, never mind, it's none of your business, why I keep telling you such things is starting to get on my nerves." I just feel at such an ease with him, almost as though I could pour my heart out to him and not think twice about it. That is not all that wise. But I can't help wanting to, I don't know why, but I almost liked the way it felt with my arm through his but I have not had a companion in a very long while, maybe thats the reason for the ease and the comfort but I feel the need to tell him. "I just feel at such an ease around you...like for some reason you are a sense of comfort, a sense of ..." I stop looking for the right word. "never mind you probably already think that I'm...I don't know something." I let out a soft sigh and look at the ground instead of looking for the cave as he had asked of me, and I feel bad about it so I look around me slightly embarrassed as heat rises to my cheeks and I know that I'm blushing...a deeper shade of red then I ever have before, I think it's because of him but I don't dare tell him about that though I feel the need to.

I have the vaugest notion that she is not alone in feeling like that. Yes, I know that that is... impossible for me. It has been such a long time, and I am not human. I never have been. Arra is dead. I cannot let any sort of fate like that befall this girl. I do not think that I can let myself even become close to being soft. Not around her, not around anyone. And then she starts blushing. I know what blushing usually means for women, and for me, that is not a good thing. Oh god, what am I doing here? "Something... Yes, you are something. I don't know what, per say, but there is definately something there.

I laugh slightly and can't help but look at him, the scar across his eye ,the soft look to his lips, the way he looks as though he's trying to stay hard, they all make me blush harder but want him even more. I let out a small sigh and look away again, this isn't right, I shouldn't feel this way, I just don't. "Your something yourself...but what I don't know. my voice is soft and thoughtful but I know deep down that the end for us is near...maybe nearer then I think.

"I've been told that... or something like that," I say, laughing a bit at myself. "Usually, it is alone the lines of 'insane bastard,' but something is just as good," I sigh and look around again, my eyes stopping at a cave at the top of a cloiff. "Up there. It is the only one fo miles as far as I can tell." I sort of lean in front of her, pointing, my face far to close to comfort. My usual distance is three feet, not three inches.

I'll be there in an hour or so... I mumble quickly moving away from him. Afraid that I wouldn't be able to control myself if he was that close all at once.

"An hour or so?" I ask, a look of cofusion passing quickly over my face. Not something that I am used to, but, nevertheless, it is there, and I do not care at the moment. I realize now why she backed away so quickly, and I know that I have slipped up somewhere in my quest to appear... terrifying.

I nod and take a few more steps back. "I promise to come back alive...." I mumble as I turn and begin walking away...time to find a place to get clean! I could go back to the falls...or maybe a creak near by if there is one. I guess I'll just have to look around.

"Okay," I say with a small smile. At least she promises to come back alive. I turn my back on her and walk up a barely tred path up to the entrance to the cave. I set up a fire, and set a blanket on the other side of the fire. Then I walk outside with a knife in hand, off to find some kind of meat. The only thing that I can find is a rabbit though, that I bring back with me into the cave to skin a cook.

I walk back down the path that we came, humming a little song I came up with a long time ago. After at least an hour I find a small pool, a little off the path and from there well I get clean...while singing at the top of my lungs. Then start heading back..

It seems that she has not been back yet after almost three hours. I stand up and walk over to the mouth of the cave, a plate of rabbit meat in my hand as I look around, wondering if I am going to see her walking up the path any time soon. And I am still trying to figure out why I care so much. Any other time and I would have let her kill herself, but why now? Why the hell does to day have to be one of my nice days?

I sit down in th center of the path for a moment to think. I'm just under a mile away and it's been over three hours, but for some reason i want to hurry up and get there...but he's not here and theres nothing stopping me from killing my self, well except for a small promise, but what does that matter? It doesn't but I want to know more about him. With a sigh I get to my feet and begin walking again this time faster as if i had a reason to hurry and i guess i kind of do. in mere seconds I can see the mouth of the cave though I only glance at it and then at where I'm walking so I don't trip

I can see her walking toward the cave, and the way that she has to pay attention to where she is walking. I find myself hypnotized by the way she moves, the way that the breeze catches the very ends of her hair and the way that the low moon lights her hair. I stop eating, almost stop breathing entirely.

I look up to make sure I'm going to the right way and there he stands, looking down at me. I stop mid step and smile up at him. Was he looking for me or was he just standing there? The way he looks at me, it almost looks as though he's in a trance. I smile bigger and keep walking slowly.

The corner of my mouth pulls into a small, crooked smile. I cough slightly, closing my mouth and chewing on my lip. "There is some food over by the fire for you. I do not know if you eat meat or not... I am not sure elves do, but I thought that I would... you know... leave you some..." Damnit Kazeielan, just stop talking. You are already getting yourself far from that image of yours. I rub the back of my neck, that crooked smile still on my face, an air of nervousness around me.

My smile grows as I walk past him and over to the fire, Thank you, it's the thought that counts. I say as I lay my bag down and sit next to it then pull out a hunk of sweet bread. I break off a piece and hold it up to him, I'd ask if he wanted some but my own mouth is full. The fact that I came back still puzzles me but I don't care being around him just makes me feel as though theres a reason for life and I like it, I like it a lot. Maybe that will be my flaw, but I do and thats all there is to it. I can't change how I feel but I can cover it up and well I just don't feel like doing that either.
