*Still thinking*

No it wasn't that, you're probably right a stop over and a chance to repair the damage to the river, that's probably it.

This is really nice, you're a very good cook

Well in the army I cooked with some of the worse ingreidents possible so you make the best of it when you can... and when you can get the cooking fire going with ease you somehow end up on cooking duties... *laughs*

*Laughs*

I know all about that, so tell me more about yourself

*cocky half smile on my lips*

What do you want to know?

Anything you haven't told me already

Well where to start... Obviously I am well traveled, by land though never by air before. Always had the sense till now to keep my feet on the floor *laughs*

I never really knew my family that well, my friends in the army were my family...

*A short pause later*

and I miss them a hellva lot, I just... *I stop tears flowing down my cheeks*

*Squeezes Leon's hand in sympathy*

I know, my Mother and my friends are magically sealed in ice in my old home, I put them there to save them from the Dark Allience, the spell can't be broken until they have left the kingdom,, Maybe I will live long enough to see them again

*I look at you deep in your eyes, holding your hand.*

Hopefully you will *I give a forced smile*

*Sighs sadly*

I know I will

My friends, my family are not coming back though, I survived and they didn't, I do not even know why I was spared in place of them, or what happened after the battle.

*I choke on anger and sadness before recovering*

I just remember waking up in the hospital.

At least you don't have to watch your friends grow old and die

I would do for one more chance to share a drink with them, crack a joke, not remember Jimbob being torn to *I breakdown and hold my head in my hands*

*Gets out of the chair and holds Leon tight*

*sobs trying to reign in the emotion*

*Holds him tighter letting him get it all out*

*I eventully stop sobbing and attempt to shrug you off*

*Backs off and sits back down knowing he was embarrased*

*I look down at the floor deep in thought a moment*

I am sorry my lady...

/Never/ be sorry for showing your emotions, it when emotions get bottled up that trouble starts

*I look up*

Showing emotions also get you killed, a solider needs to be cool headed and unless we want thunder storms it seems a mage need be too.
