"For one, it feels good to take a walk in the mornings. Don't you agree? And two, I thought we might talk a little. I little walk, a little talk, all good." He looked at her and smiled. "We don't have to talk, of course... one thing at a time, I think."

She sighed audibly. "We can talk, but I have nothing outright to say to you, so you'll have to start. If it's what you want."
He shrugged. "So... you're happy with Sean, I see." He said the name bitterly.
He didn't answer, instead changing the subject. "Have you noticed Lizzie and Rife?" He asked. "She likes him."
"Yeah, I noticed, found it amusing." she smiled.
"But you know why she is here. Do you still find it amusing, knowing that she will betray you?"
"Yes. And you know it isn't her fault. It's yours."
"It is only my fault that she will have to carry out the orders. I only relayed them to her. The orders were from your parents." He looked at her to see her reaction to this.
"They want you back. They knew they couldn't stop you from coming here, so they sent her here. Me, though... I came because I wanted to." He smiled.
"They need to let me go! Dammit, it's not like-" It's not like what? It's not like you're the only one they can do that stuff to? Liar, you know why they need you. She shook her head. "Nevermind."
"How can you expect anyone to let you go, Salem? Once someone has met you, you leave an impression. It's even harder for those of us who have known you all your life to let you go. You are so special, so much your own... that everyone wants you to be theirs." He shrugged. "That's how things work."
"That's not my fault," she said sullenly. "It's not like I've let you go,and I still live my life."
He shrugged again. "Maybe we shouldn't talk about you and me."
"Maybe not," because I don't want to cry.
He looked up through the trees at the lightening sky. "Emmy was having problems, I heard."
He smiled. "Sometimes I listen... and sometimes I just have Lizzie tell me. This time I just listened, though."
"How do you manage to get so close without me noticing?"
"Can you hear me now?" he asked.
He smiled. "Sorry... I wouldn't want your boyfriend to hear me snooping, is all."
Salem cringed, thinking about it. But I love them both. "Shut up."
"Alright, alright." He grinned.
His grin made her want to smile, but she quenched the need. "So, now what?"
He shrugged again. "You can go back... I'm not stopping you. I'll be waiting for you every morning."
"I don't want to go back yet," Shadow said, surprising herself.
He looked at her strangely for a moment, then smiled. "Alright then. I guess we can just sit and... talk."
"sounds like the good old days," she smiled, sitting on a fallen tree.
He laid along the tree on his back, putting his head in her lap. "They don't have to be gone," he said with a sudden, strange gentleness.
"Maybe they aren't, maybe they're just hiding, scared of what could happen to tear them to shreds."
He was silent for a long moment. "I could leave," he finally said. "Without convincing you to go back... I could leave you, and let you live in peace with your friends."
"What if I don't want you to leave?" she whispered, playing with his hair in her lap. "What if...what if I'm afraid that if you do..I'll never see you again? What then?"
"Didn't you come here thinking that you wouldn't ever see me again?" He asked quietly. "I certainly did."
"Yes, and you don't know how hard that was." she held back tears. "The only reason- do you remember that battle? The one where I turned on Emmy? You know why I did that?"
((That was at the beginning, right? The first time he comes into the roleplay? I haven't read the whole thing...))
He shook his head wordlessly.
He shook his head wordlessly.
((I'll be going soon for dinner.))
((yah))"I did it for you. She was going to kill you El." she said softly.
He closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again. "Why do you even care anymore, Salem? All I do is hurt you. Why would you care if I were gone?"
"I can't help it," she said truthfully, quiet with his hair soft beneath her fingertips. "And I love you, I always have Ellis. You jsut make it hard to."
He closed his eyes again for a long moment, savoring the words. "You wouldn't believe me if I said what I want to," he murmured.
((Gtg!))
((Gtg!))
((aw bye!))"It all depends on what you want to say," she said, her voice low and her eyes sparkling with unshed tears.
((Back!))
He sighed and raised his hand to her face. "I won't say it."
He sighed and raised his hand to her face. "I won't say it."
((awssie!))"I think I know what you want to say...and thank-you," Shadow said, his touch like a flame to her face. She was cold apparently.
He nodded. "You should go back. I'm sure your friends will be waking soon, and I think you don't want them to know about our walk, do you?" He was tempted to make sure she wouldn't tell them by using his gift, but he decided not to.
"I will," she was happier than she should've been. Happy that he was giving her her own free will.
He shrugged, sitting up. "Alright, then. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Tomorrow it is," she smiled at him, lightly, full or sorrow. "Tomorrow." Shadow started back to the house.
((You didn't mind the sudden-ish change in Ellis, did you? I kind of didn't feel like making him all evil today. XD))
He watched her and waved. "I'll be around."
Sean wasn't awake yet, but Elly was. She had woken a while ago and was watching Rife sleep, smiling.
