To'ul Mountain
The shorter of two mountains, To'ul is crisscrossed with warren like catacombs and tunnels. Not as tall, so the clouds don't tip this mountain.

Kethara sat at the edge of her mountain looking over at the lake, the moonlight dance across the surface of the water. Hiding in the shadows she just continue to watch the water seeing the newly hatched Naiads swim around within the lake.
It was actually nice in her mind to see the anicent races returning to the isle. It made her feel at home once more. Resting back against the rock she tilts her head back as she looks up at the sky. Even with it being a peaceful night she felt sad.

Lucius had managed the impossible, he'd cooled down his father enough to allow him to roam again... Of course, his father demanded that he stay away from Kethara, something that Lucius, after having that talk with his sister, had chosen not to do. He hadn't lied to his father when his father had asked where he was heading tonight, he'd told him he was going to go check out what was at the top of To'ul mountain, which, he'd found out later when he'd made it a decent way up, was a forge that someone still kept very nice and tidy, even if it was stacked to the rafters with finished projects. But still, Lucius climbed up and up, trying to reach the top.
Climbing was hard! Lucius was out of breath and out of shape, and finally, when he reached the tippy-tip top of the mountain he flopped down on the ground and just lay there, catching his breath. "oooow..."

Kethara glances over to the other side of the ledge, her eyes widen before she shook her head. She seriously had to be dreaming, he didn't just climb up this mountain. Slipping deeper into the shadow she ducks slightly behind the boulder near her cave home.
If could just slip place him and get inot the cave she be able to hide real well. Slipping pass the boulder she carefully tiptoes past it making her way towards the enterance. Glancing back her face soften as she heard him speak.
Shaking her head she steps out of the shafows her hands on her hips as she looks down at him "Your either head over heels for me, or just very foolish. What are you doing here Luc?"

"Looking for you, I wanted to say I'm sorry..." Lucius looked up at her from the ground, chuckling weakly. "Climbing is HARD," he had to say it, he just had to! AFter all, it was!
"As for that inital statement, I want to say a little from collum A and a little from collum B. I am foolish, not to mention unable to keep my mouth shut if my life depends on it, and I said so many stupid things, but the biggest of all was calling you just a friend, because even though I kept you at arms length you meant more to me than that, I just didn't want to say it cause then it would lead to complications and troubles and..." Lucius was babble-rambling like his sister had, but instead of excited it was tired and just wanting to get it all out in the open.

Kethara shook her head then looks away from him "Luc its fine you don't have to explain yourself. I got the hint alright? Just friends, just how it should be." turning away she walks back over to sit on the edge of the ledge watching the lake again.

"I didn't mean it..." Lucius said, finally sitting up and leaning against the nearest large boulder. "When I said that I was trying to save myself from being barred from you, and it backfired, my mother knew I was lying when I said it and when I got home I got tore into from both my father and my mother..." He sighed and looked up at the sky, it was rather nice and clear from here.
"Then I talked to my older sister Joi, who moved out awhile ago, found her own place, dealt with all this crap before... and well... She told me to go with my heart... So here I am..."

Looking over her shoulder at him she frowns shaking her head "Luc seriously its fine. I knew I was just dreaming to think you would like me in that way, afterall you could have anyone you want on this isle." looking away again she pulls one knee up to her chest laying her head on top of it "I'm still your friend so don't worry about me alright?"

Lucius was getting annoyed again. He'd discovered he had inherited his father's hair trigger temper, and he was finding that the more furstarted and annoyed he go, the harder it was to keep it under control. He started to grind his teeth and finally.
"Will you LISTEN!" He sighed and bit down hard on his tongue. "Sorry... Look, I'm trying to tell you that I have this major crush on you and that I feel like a complete and total moron for saying you were just a friend. I shouldn't have lied to my mother and I most definatly should not have lied to you. I like you, I think I've said that fifteen billion times already, but DAMN woman, I mean it. I LIKE YOU, as in I LIKE-LIKE you..." He even gave the words air quotes, not that she was watching.

Kethara didn't look up this time she just keep looking at the water as s smile forms across her face. Lifting her heand she wipes at her eyes with her palm before she turns looking at him. Standing she ran over not really stopping as she wraps her arms around his waist. She hid her face with her hair as she hugs him close "I'm sorry, I just...I didn't knwo what to think after you called me just a friend..."

Lucius hugged her back and he chuckled, brushing her hair a little. "Hey, it's okay, you only raised my blood pressure a little..." He laughed weakly and then let his arms drop. "I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have said what I did, and should have been honest about my feelings. But I was scared and confused and I was worried my mother would tell me I could never see you again. I'm also a complete idiot lacking in all common sense." Closing his eyes he let out a long sigh.
"I really do like you Ara, I really do..." He fiddled with the dirt with his fingers and sighed. "I wasn't really ready for relationship... I mean, I was still confused, still... I don't know... scared... But now... I want to see what will happen..." He chuckled. "Just let things flow and see how they go..."

Stepping away she fidgits with her hands looking down at the ground "If it makes you feel any better I'm scared to." she looks up giving him a small smile "I know I come off like a brave girl who seems to always know everything or know how things work. But truth be told I'm scared of what I feel for you. Its new to me too. I was just following what my head kept telling me to do." laughing alittle she glances back down at the ground.
"Silly huh?" shaking her head she falls quiet biting her bottom lip. Yea she wasn't really to sure what to do now.

Lucius patted the ground beside him. "Sit with me and we can talk for a little bit. Not too long... I have to get home in a short while, but if I'm a little late I'll say I got distracted, won't be a lie." He laughed, and let his head rest against the rock. "We have a lot to talk about it seems."

Nodding she takes a seat down next to him. Relaxing she looks down at her hands before back at him "Yes it would seem so, and I don't want you to be late on my account Luc." lifting her han she adjust the armband around her upper arm before looking up at the sky. "So the feeling between us are mutal. And when can I meet Joi and thank her?"
Giggling she shakes her head hiding her face behind her hair, it was mostly to hide the blush.

Lucius chuckled and leaned against Kethara, letting his head rest on her shoulder. "Well, I guess it wouldn't be that hard to do, I could show you where her house is," He smiled and took a deep breath. "But later... I want to talk now,"
