A meeting in a clearing. [p r i v a t e]

Matzie rubbed the back of his neck as her gaze left his. Did she not like him or something? ...That had to be it... 'Why would someone look at you if they didn't like you?' he thought sadly. Slowly rising to his feet. "I'll go...if you want me to. That way you can..uh...meditate without Lyon licking your face.." he offered in a rather awkward manner. Lyon let out a soft whine, his ears lowering a bit.

"Actually, I don't mind if you stay here. I rather like your company.." her voice trailed off as she watched Lyon bound up happily to sit beside Landan. Who was she kidding? Catherine couldn't force them to stay, if they needed to go then they needed to go. With a sad, discontented sigh she added, "If you want to go, you can go. I'm not forcing you to stay," Catherine gave them both a small smile, which was all she could muster out for some reason. Squinting hard against the sun's soft light, Catherine looked up at Landan. His eyes were a soft brown as the sun hit them. They were gorgeous. She felt as if all the air had been knocked out of her, but she stayed silent and waited for his reply.

Matzie shook his head. "But I don't want to leave.." he said as a small grin stretched across his face. He gently bent down, placing a hand on her shoulder. "I...like being around you. Why would I leave?" he pointed out. The sun shone through the leaves, illuminating his tanned skin and brown hair and eyes.
Matzie let his hand drop to his side as he plopped back down on the ground. The leaves underneath him let out a symphony of crunches and crackles as he adjusted himself to a comfortable position.

Guest

Catherine winced a little after hearing the crackles of the leaves. Well, they were dead leaves but they're still part of nature, and were once alive. Being a Demeter kid did take its toll on you. With a quick shake of her head, Catherine expelled the thought then focused all her attention on Landan and Lyon. They were so... refreshing- if that was the right word to describe them. Catherine simply loved their presence. "I like being around you, too."

OOC: FAILLLLLL.

Matzie smiled and gave a nod of his head. "Alright then...neither of us will leave," he said, leaning back on his hands a bit. It seemed odd for a Hephaestus Kia and a Demeter kid to get along so well...they were, after all, complete opposites. But that didn't matter to Matzie. He was just simply glad they got along and that she seemed to enjoy hi precense as much as he enjoyed hers.
Matzie brushed his hair from his face as Lyon curled up between the two with a deep, content sigh. "Well...Lyon certainly seems to like you. Which is odd...he never really likes any of the girls I hang out with. It's like he gets jealous that I'll stop spending time with him if I have a girlfriend. But you? He seems to like you quite a bit," Matzie said, rubbing Lyon's thick fur.

Guest

"Really now? He seems too nice to be the forget-me-and-I'll-shred-you-to-pieces type... Still, he's such a cutie patootie," Catherine was smiling down at Lyon, rubbing his ears as he let out a series of contented sighs. She flipped her hair back with her free hand then looked up at Landan. The first thing she noticed was how the light danced upon his eyes, as if they were on fire as well. A hypnotizing brown flame that melted her. "You're eyes are beautiful. I love their shade of brown," Catherine pointed out with a shy, sheepish voice. "Thanks for staying, by the way.."

Subject: Re: A meeting in a clearing. [p r i v a t e] Sat Oct 23, 2010 11:17 pm

Matzie smiled at the compliment. His gaze locked with hers and it was like he was no longer in control of his own actions...like he was in a hypnotic daze that was caused by simply looking into her eyes.atzie reached out, gently caressing her cheek with his thumb. "And your's are just as gorgeous...if not more. You're just..." Matzie's voice trailed off a moment as he let out a content sigh. "Perfect.." he finished after a moment. A warm grin stretched across his face and the corner of his eyes wrinkled a bit from the happy expression.

Guest

Catherine felt the heat rush through her body, as if she was some living volcano. She found these feeling queer and strange, but she was happy at the same time. "Thank you," Catherine blinked before stretching her hand out to brush Landan's hair out of his face. "You're gorgeous too.." She scrunched her nose "In a manly way," Catherine dropped his gaze then began rubbing Lyon's stomach. "Isn't he, boy? Your owner is really handsome. You lucky dog,"

Matzie shrugged his shoulders with a soft chuckle. He sat up a bit, placing his hands on his knees. Matzie reached out, also petting Lyon. "He's a great companion...I'm lucky to have him.." he said with a smile. Lyon's tongue lolled out of the side of his mouth as he let out a bark of agreement. Lyon rolled over on his back, begging to be pet. Matzie laughed and rubbed his dog's belly. "Yeas you're a good boy," he said with a grin. Lyon's tail thumped against the ground and as soon as Matzie stopped petting Lyon jumped up, tackling his owner with an enthusiastic bark. "Lyon! Ack!" Matzie exclaimed. Lyon licked the boy's face with his long, wet, pink tongue. "Yes, I love you too bud!" Matzie said as he ruffles Lyon's fur with a warm laugh.

Guest

Catherine laughed as she watched Landan try to wrestle the active dog back to his former calm state. "I'm positive he's a great companion, he's hilarious." Landan's laugh was so vibrant and strong. It reminded her of her father's laugh, and the warm afternoons they'd spend harvesting corn. She had a sudden urge to return home, a strong painful tug in her gut that always triggered tears of longing. But she merely pushed them away, telling herself that there was a time for everything. Soon, Catherine would be visiting her home. And perhaps she could bring photos this time.

Matzie's gaze flickered over to Catherine and he noticed the slight sadness in her eyes. He quickly sat up, ignoring the whines from Lyon, trying to get him to continue playing. "Hey...are you okay? You look so....sad.." he said, his voice cracking from the concern. He cleared his throat, as though that would make her think that he just had to cough and draw attention away from the worry and concern. He didn't know why she was so upset...but he obviously didn't like it one bit. Matzie disliked seeing the people he cared for in pain...
ooc: Something dramatic needs to happen xP My creative juices are draining...

Guest

Catherine tried to meet Landan's gaze, she tried to tell him that she would be alright... but the tears would soon fall and the happy atmosphere would change. If there was one thing Catherine hated, it was making people worry. She hated it when people worried about her because in her opinion, she wasn't someone worth worrying about. There were just more things to worry about than a girl that was homesick. "I-I" Catherine took a deep breath and pushed her hair back "I'm-" She closed her eyes, trying to prevent the tears from falling. It was pointless to lie now. "It's just that it's been a year since I last visited my home, and I miss it terribly..." Her voice trailed off as she buried her face in her hands, half in embarrassment and half in longing.

OOC: Oh yeah, how's that for drama? ;) Dude, I have to go. I have lunch :)

Matzie hastily scootched closer to her, wrapping his arms around her in a comforting embrace. "You can always visit...I'll even drive you there.." he cooed in a soothing voice. Matzie kissed the top of her head, rubbing her arms in a reassuring manner. "There's nothing wrong with being homesick..." he added. Lyon padded over, resting his head in Catherine's lap.
Matzie enjoyed holding her like this...he could sit like this for hours and wouldn't have a single complaint. He took his hand, lacing his fingers with hers, and lightly kissed the top of it. "Everything will be okay.." he said, looking up at her with a single nod.

Guest

Catherine looked up at Landan, eyes quite puffy with crying. She hated her fits of self-pity. Absolutely hated them. With a forced smile and a sniff, she shook her right hand off Landan's grasp and placed it on his cheek. "You're right, I'm sorry for making you worry," Letting go of his cheek, Catherine ran her hand through his scruffy hair with a contented smile.

Subject: Re: A meeting in a clearing. [p r i v a t e] Sun Oct 24, 2010 9:54 am

Matzie smiled, staring deeply into her eyes with a content sigh. "It's fine...I don't mind worrying about you, it's what you do for the people you care about.." he said. He had the strongest urge to take her in his arms and kiss her, but he resisted. After all...she might find it odd to kiss someone she just met. So he decided to take a simpler route. He leaned forward, gently kissing her forehead.
Matzie smiled, caressing her cheek and simply enjoying the feeling of holding her in his arms.

Guest

"All this drama is making me hungry.." Catherine could feel her stomach rumbling, and tossing with its loud protests. "I'm almost positive I brought-" Biting her lower lip, she dug into the pockets of her coat. Her fingers searched and fumbled about for something edible. After a few moments, Catherine produced a small ziplock filled with what looked like cream colored mini doughnuts. "Cheerios," She addressed the line directly to Lyon who was now drooling. The dog was so irresistible.

OOC: FAILLLL and RANDOM ;_:

Subject: Re: A meeting in a clearing. [p r i v a t e] Sun Oct 24, 2010 7:17 pm

Matzie glanced over at his dog, seeing the drool dripping from his maw. "Oh no! You already ate her ice cream...No cheerios for you," he said, shaking his head. Lyon let out a sad whine, his ears lowering a bit. Matzie shook his head. "If you keep acting like you never eat then you'll end up as big as a hellhound..." he pointed out.
Matzie turned to Catherine, his arms still around her waist. "Sorry about Lyon...he just loves food.." he said, rubbing the back of his neck with a chuckle.

Guest

"It's okay Lyon, I'll kidnap you one day and we'll pig out together. Alright, boy?" Catherine bent down and kissed the top of Lyon's furry head. Taking a deep breath she straightened and winked at Landan, with a mischievous grin that sort of said 'I'll spoil him rotten,'. And, yes, Catherine meant it.

She gave Landan a thoughtful look, and stretched her hand out for his.

Matzie noticed her wink and grin and couldn't help but smile. Motiing her outstretched hand, his cheeks flushed a deep shade of scarlet. He found himself hesitating as he reached his own large hand out to grasp hers.
After a slight squeak of nervousness he laces his fingers through hers, giving a triumphant grin of his accomplishment. Why did she make him so nervous? He'd never been that way before...
Ignoring the thought, Matzie tugged on her hand a bit, pulling her closer with a grin and a warm glow in his brown eyes.

Guest

"Wasn't so hard, was it?" Catherine threw her head back and laughed. In the forest, it sounded like the clear and beautiful ringing of bells. But perhaps she was only hearing things.
Heat was quick to spread throughout her body as Catherine took in Landan's gaze. He was wonderful, and unique. This day would mark a turning point in her life. She wanted to spend every single moment with Landan; to be in his presence calmed all the nerves in her body. Catherine felt protected... and at home.
She tightened her hold on his hand reassuringly, afraid he would disappear.

Matzie smiled, shaking his head with a deep throated chuckle. He felt...alive in Catherine's precense. It was as though all of his past burdens and troubles and melted away at the mere sight of her.
A wide grin stretches across Matzie's face as he hears the sweet, pure sound of her laugh. Matzie pulled her towards him, tucking a stray strand of brown hair behind her ear. "You...have an adorable laugh," he said with a warm smile. He could go on and on with compliments...her hair, her eyes, her smile...it as a long list that Mayzie was unable to see the end of.
Matzie felt as like if he took his eyes off of her, he'd wake up from the wonderful dream and she'd be gone. Even the thought of not being around her made him upset. How could this be? Why did he feel the need to always be with her? It just wasn't something Matzie could explain...but he tried not to fret about it too much.
Matzie gently placed one hand on her back, as though they were about to walce across a ballroom full of shuffling feet, fancy dresses, and classical music playing on a piano. Matzie grinned crookedly with a mischievious glint in his eyes. "Have you ever formally danced before?" he asked, arching an eyebrow.

Guest

Catherine pursed her lips in thought. Had she danced formally before? Her brain was a cluttered mess as of this moment, but no matter how many times she looked for snippets of dancing formally in her memory... she couldn't find one. Though, she did take ballet for two years when she was a toddler... Catherine directed her attention to Landan again and quickly shook her head. "Unless, of course, you consider turning up the music in your bedroom then trying to dance in rhythm...I'm so lame that I didn't even bother going to the end of summer ball.." Catherine looked down in shame. "So, no I haven't danced formally in my life." She bit her inner cheek and fidgeted.

OOC: SORRY X.X;;

Matzie nodded his head with a charming grin. "Well then...just follow my lead.." he said. Flicking his wrist a bit he spun her around before swaying a bit to the silent music. 1 2 3...1 2 3.... Matzie had always hated the dance lessons his mother forced him to take when he was younger. But now he was happy ge knew how. Following the instruction he had learned so many years ago, Matzie led Catherine across the clearing in an elegant manner. He added in fancy spins an dips when he thought necessary. "Now you can say you've danced formally.." he said with a smile.

Guest

At the start, Catherine hesitated and had to look down to get her footwork right. All the turns made her dizzy, and the dips gave her chills. But she knew she was safe. Catherine could feel Landan's strong hands supporting her and his footwork was surprisingly graceful. He danced with passion similar to the dancing fire she saw him control. If she listened closely, she could almost hear a waltz playing; resonating through the surrounding leaves. "Let me guess, before you came to camp... You were a professional dancer surrounded by millions of screaming girls." The way Catherine stated this was almost rhythmic, the dancing was growing on her.

Matzie chuckled, shaking his head. "Close...I was a geek who spent most of his time in auto shop and messing with trinkets. My mom made me take dance lessons when I was about thirteen. She said I'd be happy I knew how to dance later. Guess she was right.." he said with a grin. "No screaming girls...nothing like that," he added with a shrug. Quickly spinning around again he slowly to a gentle sway in the middle of the clearing. A wide smile stretched across his face as he locked his gaze with hers.
