"I can only hope that they will, but your blessing is welcomed."
"They will. And I will bless it every day." Layla chuckled. "I know you'll do good. You have good blood in your veins, from your father. My father may have been wise but..." She trailed and covered her mouth, giggling, "He's not exactly sane." She looked around, acting as if she were suspicious, "And I'm probably not either." She whispered, her voice spilling out with humor.
"Yes, you are distracting me, so please, don't kill me now." he said with a chuckle. He then heard her comment on the fact she was becoming distracted also. "Well Layla," he said stepping close to her again looking down into her eyes whispering, "You better be the one to stop me, my being is becoming selfish." he said with a small laugh as he kissed her cheek politely before taking a few steps back again.
"I won't kill you... Yet." Layla said, in her soft sarcasmn tone. "No, I'll kill you now." She bent down and grabbed a stick before gently poking him and dropping the stick. "Oh no! I killed you!" She laughed. "Why would I stop--" Her sentence was interrupted by his kissing her on the cheek. She blushed lightly, the blush growing darker by the second. "I don't believe your selfish." She said calmly, trying to hide her raspy breath. "I just believe that your unique." She said, saying the first thing that popped into her mind. She traced the outlines of the muscles on his chest. She zoned out, peacefully in a trance now.
Carodye pndered how to answer the question. "I am thinking of, about, and utterly completely you." he said with a smile. "So much to learn about you, and the ways of your tribe." he said to her, "I hope one day we will be able to learn more about each other also."
Layla looked down. "No. This can't be..." She sighed, "We have to find a way to end this war." She said, partially coming back to her senses. "Maybe... If they got to know each other." She repeated what she heard a Shore tribe member say once. "I don't even get why we're fighting."
