Introductions|Raynham, Reave

[Devon]

"Heh. Cye gets irritated when he is ignored or if you wake him up, and I guess I just get irritated by him when he is way too hyper. It isn't anything too bad, but Ryo I guess keeps us all sane."

[ilaera]

Ilaera laughed, "I guess that makes sense then. Your friends are a nice enough bunch Rowen. You are lucky." She meant it but there was a deep feeling of regret she still had to overcome that weighed heavily on her. "I didn't ask earlier but who was the Lady that Trevor and Kento are going to look after?"

[Devon]

"Oh, um she is this uh old lady. She used to be the leader of Humontis. I think Trevor is taking her there to broker some kind of deal." Rowen looks at Ilaera. "You know you really can come by anytime you want..the guys wouldn't mind having you around. I wouldn't mind either."

[ilaera]

"I'll drop in occasionally. I won't be going anywhere for a while anyways," she said. Ilaera hesitated a moment as she walked on. She felt ashamed because she thought that she might actually like Rowen. She tried to push that thought aside as she looked around at the homes they passed.

[Devon]

"Whats wrong Ilaera? I don't know what it is, but you seem kind of down." Rowen asks quietly while walking.

[ilaera]

Ilaera put on the best smile she could, "Oh no I am fine. I promise. I was just letting my mind wander for a moment that's all." She felt embarrassed in front of him. Sighing she put her hands behind her head and looked up at the sky, "Rowen... do you have any regrets about your life?"

[Devon]

Rowen looks at Ilaera for a moment. "Maybe I should, but I don't....if certain things hadn't have happened..well I wouldn't be where I was now. So maybe it is for the better that not everything turned out the way I wanted, so uh...no regrets I guess."

[ilaera]

The point was made and she felt like that she knew he was going to answer her that way. She smiled faintly, "Then you have a life that is well worth pursuing. Rowen, your wisdom may save you one day." It may have seemed to him that she was talking about completely random stuff but it had a relative point that helped her justify her own opinions about him. On top of that she had to figure out why he made her feel secure.

[Devon]

Rowen looks at Ilaera a bit confused. He didn't understand what she was getting at exactly. Jokingly, Rowen nudges her and smiles. "You know Ilaera, sometimes I don't get you...but it's okay I'll just have to hang out with you a lot more so I can understand you better."

[ilaera]

Ilaera dropped her arms and laughed at him. "Oh yeah and what do you think you might learn?" She resisted the urge to reach for his hand. She looked up at him still with that faint little smile, "Would you be surprised if I said that I do not fully understand you as well?"

[Devon]

"Nah I wouldn't be surprised at all. For you see I am both mysterious as I am handsome." Rowen says this with a laugh, it was obvious he was joking. "As for what I might learn..I don't know, but I want to."

[ilaera]

Her cheeks became a faint pink color as she blushed. "Well okay then. Just let me know if you like what you find out." She was looking away from him again and at the gates that were slowly coming into view. She thought she must have looked so stupid to Rowen.

[Devon]

Rowen seeing that the gates were approaching decided to get a little bold. Taking hold of her hand, he stands a bit closer to her as they walk. "I'm sure I will Ilaera...you don't mind if we walk like this do you?"

[ilaera]

Ilaera was completely caught off guard. She stared up at him for a moment but then realized it was okay. "I don't mind," she said after shaking her head. She was smiling still and... it felt good because this time it was genuine happiness she felt.

[Devon]

Rowen breathes a sigh of relief. "And I thought you were going to slug me or something. I'm glad you don't mind."
