Outlawed 2

Chris froze, drawing his hand smoothly from Arowin's. "I-I don't know if I'm ready," he admitted quietly, his hazel eyes brimming with shame. He took a step back, shaking his head to himself. "I love you, Arowin, and I love the Hood as well. But these years have been rough for me, and I have grown accustomed to life on my own. I'm don't want to give that up yet." This was only partially true- Chris was also afraid that the others would be angry with him, would think him a coward and a traitor. He couldn't face that yet- he wasn't fully stable. Chris pulled Arowin close again, worried that she would be hurt. "It's not you," he told her, his voice muffled by her hair. "I am just not myself right now." His heart broke as he thought of leaving her and he hugged her tighter, ignoring how his body erupted in flames. Suddenly an idea occured to him, and he spoke it aloud. "Will you meet me here, a few nights a week? So we can be together and get to know each other again?" Pitiful hope and longing filled his voice, and he went silent, waiting for a reply.

Stephan laughed heartily as Kyle pouted. The food smelled delicious, and he took a long sip of the bitter wine. "It went very well," he remarked, glad to be able to relax. He scratched the stubble on his chin thoughtfully, then removed his jacket and leaned back, watching his friend and cousin. "How was your evening?" he asked, smiling.

Rebecca smiled happily. "Busy as always but so far uneventful." she said with a shrug. She stood up as she heard Emerald call and hurried to the door. "Em we are here." she called out and noticed Frank. "Long time no se, I guess I will make place for one more." she said and walked back to the table. She set out another plate and filled another goblet with wine.

Kyle downed his juice quickly and then put the goblet on the table. He sat down in his chair which had a cusion placed on it so that he didn't feel so small at the table. He pulled his plate closer and started helping himself. He then looked around the room hoping to see Arowin had returned. He frowned and then turned to Stephan. "Where is Arra? She is usually back by now." he asked him.

Arrowin nodded. "I understand and I will come." she said softly and gave him a faint smile. Nothing could ruin her mood now, for years she thought him dead. She kissed him again and rested her head on his chest. "What could you have possibly been up to for five years?" she asked him looking into his brown eyes .

(It's alright.) Emerald smiled and gave Rebecca a quick hug before she walked off. She grabbed Frank's hand and led him inside. "Dinner and then we can go rest. I'm sure you're tired." she said smiling. She led him to the dining room and sat him down at the extra place. She sat down next to him. "This looks great Becca."

Rebecca blushed slightly and laughed waving ehr hand dismissivly. "Thanks Em." she said returning the hug and then going to take her seat again.

"No problem." Emerald replied with a smile. She picked up her fork and started eating. She was being sure to not eat too fast and look like a starved dog, though she certainly felt like one. She hadn't eaten anything since breakfast. "Tastes great too!" she exclaimed after swallowing.

Saya sighed when he didnt answer. "Your highness? It's time to eat." She said through the door and waited.

Matthew approached Adailia slowly and carefully, trying not to stand on any branches. He still did not know what awaited him in the small clearing. All he knew was there was a person, whether they be friend or foe, he could not yet make out. Snap! A twig crunched underneath him, breaking the silence and sending a few birds scattering. He cursed almost silently under his breath, and stopped dead, trying not to make another sound.

(( I get it, Mel&Cher... well, whatever your name is now.... but- it hate to be picky- could you edit your post to answer Sagath's question? Sorry! :S ))

Prince Stephan stood quickly as Frank came in, clearing a place for him to sit. "Hello, sir," he greeted him formally, bowing slightly, for Frank used to be a knight. For a moment he slipped back into his old habits, but then caught himself and sat back down, embarrased.

[~Thor's Gurl<3~]

Emerald chuckled at Stephan's gesture then also at his embarrassment. "Not to worry, Princey." she said with a smile. She always called him that ever since she had accepted him as one of The Hood. "Old habits die hard."

(Hey Lautner, could you post in the werewolf rp? Thanks )

[GoldenStateOfMind]

(( I know... I will... ))

Prince Stephan grinned at Emerald, the heat of the blush already fading. "So, Em, where'd you find this lost traveler?" he teased in a very dramatic voice. He poured more wine for himself and took another gulp. He rarely drank but now was a time for celebration, and he wasn't in the mood to hold back.

[~Thor's Gurl<3~]

(Okay thanks.)

Emerald giggled and picked up her cup, glancing over at Frank before looking back at Stephan and taking a swig of her wine. She set down the cup with a grin on her face. "This lost traveler wandered right in my way and pulled a rusty old sword on me. He tried to cut off my head!" she exaggerated with another giggle. "Goodness I was scared! Then I realized it was just old Frank here. Nothing to worry about here!" she joked.
