Ness happened to find her way into the peanut butter brittle fields. She was out on yet another ambiguous stroll. Going nowhere in particular. She had no destinations, no aspirations, no desire. She sat down on a tree stump where a tree once grew, possibly chopped down for fire wood or some sort of thing like that. She settled her wings. She fidgeted with her wiimote. She thought thinking about how she would want to find a new home. She really needed a new place to set up her gaming headquarters.

Bruce Valentine, slim yet well build, with piercing yellow eyes and the scent of roses following him everywhere he went, was walking calmly, almost looking nonchalant down a road he hoped would lead him right eventually.
His faithful fish follow at his side, almost glowing from the bright red she wore in her scales. She hummed on tunes for him, as she knew how much he liked those old romance songs. It kept him pleased.
It was then he set his eyes upon a lovely creature before him. Light blue and accessoriesed in a very sweet, lovely wristband. Nothing he ever seen before. Throwing with his head so the hair fall away from his eyes he started to walk in her direction, off from the lil' road he had followed. Hoping he wouldnt startle her, he greeted her "Hey beautiful.." his voice sounded a little husky, he leaned down a little with tilted head to have a better look at her face, still not too close. Not only were she beautiful, she had such nice blue eyes.

Ness gave a startle, and she flew up just a bit to prevent herself from falling off the stump. She probably would have fallen off because she was the type who if startled while not paying attention is likely to drop something or fall down. When her heart stopped racing, she fluttered back to how she was sitting and turned her head to look at the lovely black and gray numa. She smiled and gave a playful laugh. "Yeah. sorry.. I wasn't really that scared. You just startled me is all.." Then, her mind and manners caught up with her. "Oh yeah... my manners are so terrible today. Thank you for the compliment. Noone ever says nice things to me. You are very kind... sir?" She smiled and gave a small blush.
She was never the type who thought lowly of herself; but she also didn't think overly highly of herself either. She was fairly neutral in her self perception. She thought she was good enough looking to get someone if she wanted. She just didn't want; she felt it was all silly and full of nonsense. She felt it was a waste of her time. Still, it was nice to be told something nice. He must have wanted to look at her well since he made such an effort to get a good look at her face.
"You really don't have to tell me nice things if you don't want. As much as I appreciate your nice comments, I prefer people not to say things unless they mean them. I just might take you seriously." Her eyes looked up at him. His eyes were very nice too. And, as she came to think of it. He smelled awful nice as well.

"Im sorry, I didnt mean to.. startle you off your seat, you did look very peaceful where you sat."
Bruces eyes just smiled at her even if his mouth was busy replying her. "Oh dear, I would never tell a lie or anything I did not feel" he said and walked around her. "Besides, beauty lays in the eyes of the beholder, so am I not entitled to see beauty in all creations?" he gave her a wink.
Pleased with what he saw he couldnt help but add "I am sure, that you even trough another numas eyes would of been considered breathtaking."
The fish just rolled her eyes and flew up to a tree and rested on a branch, not really interested in more of his encounters with others. It always seemed to go the same way anyways.

Ness's eyes studied him with an intense scrutiny. It was like her eyes were searching his soul for dishonesty and lies. It was much to her surprise that she wasn't finding any. Her features relaxed and went much more gentle again, close to the expression she had when he had first seen her sitting there. "Well... thanks then... I guess. You're not so bad on the eyes either, pal. So, what brought you by my way huh? I'm sure you couldn't have wanted to come talk to me just to look at my eyes... right?" It hadn't entered her mind that someone would want to do that. Who did things like that? It was for the time being beyond her ability to perceive such a thing.

Bruce looked back just as curious as she watched him. It was true, he always spoke of truth, he just liked alot. No, loved alot. It was a special talent he had, or maybe a gift. If he had not abused it oh so much.
"I was actually heading to visit an old friend when I saw your glory, which got me off track, off focuz" he grinned. "Shame on you, what you do to men" he practicly stod up and leaned against one of the trees that still remained. "So tell me, what does a pretty numa like yourself do out here alone?" he couldnt stop looking at her, how come she didnt act more feminine? Didnt she know how lovely she looked? Like a flower in a desert, where everything but her were dried out?

"Well, I don't really meet or know too many men. I grew up in a very sheltered home. I actually left my family and was taken in by a human recently." She made a soft smile, and she started to feel a blush coming on. He made her feel embarrassed a little. She wasn't entirely comfortable feeling like that. "I guess I was just out here alone because... I am alone. But, it's ok. I like myself enough to not hate being alone..." She looked at him then looked away. The feeling of being lonely did bother her more than she liked to admit sometimes. It left a phantom feeling of sadness. Feeling a little nervous, she moved some of her hair out of her eyes.
Then she looked at him again. "Well, if I'm keeping you from something important. You don't have to stay. I won't be upset. I wouldn't want to ruin your day or anything." She did find him to have enjoyable company. Still, she never wanted to have anyone around her who didn't want to already be around her.

"Ruining my day? Are you kidding??! You made my day, sweets!"
Bruce reached down to his tail and picked one of the full grown roses and took his chance when she pulled her hair back to put it behind her ear. "Gloryfied" he said breathless, hoping she would not mind. She did look gorgeous.
Bruce had recognized her reactions, he were a born pro at this after all. His eyes, warm and tender looked her over once more. "My friend doesnt even know Im coming so she can wait."
Then something came over him, something she had said got stuck in his mind and his eyes suddenly got an darker tone to them. "Dear, no one want to be alone" he said in a darker voice, with more feeling. It was a sad thing for a numa to say.

Hearing that she made someone's day almost made Ness wanna cry. She felt like her presence really never made a difference to anyone. It never mattered if she were there or not. Any difference that even slightly came up, they were always negative. But, talking about feeling lonely really did make her feel even more lonely. "Thanks... You're very kind." She was so happy to get the rose. Deep inside she told herself not to feel too excited over it. It was just a stupid flower. It would wilt eventually. It didn't last. She smiled politely and genuinely at him. "It would seem like you're a very romantic numa. I don't really believe in romance. I think that's just a fantasy numas have. Like anyone really means any of those things... Romance are just moments that almost seem like something extraordinary. But, they just disappear with a flash of light. I guess I just don't really feel a need for that sort of thing in my life..." She didn't want to seem rude of like she was brushing him off.
Still, the mere idea of being romanced from someone scared her to death. She kept telling herself she didn't believe in such things. She didn't want to, and yet, a deeper more subconcious part of her liked the idea of it. Still, even all of that scared her too. Anything drawing such strong emotional reactions scared her. She didn't want to have to put trust in another numa.
Then, he made reference to a "she". His friend was a girl. Geez... The feeling of being important then left her as fast as it came to her. "Is your... 'friend' special to you... sir? What was your name again?" By now she had taken to trying to hide her eyes. Something about this boy was stirring up feelings that made her feel in a tumult.

Bruce looked thoughtful for a moment. This was a very down to earth numa, that was easy to see. But what could of made her heart so dark and unbelieving. "Well..." he started.. "You are right."
After that he was quiet for a moment while he tried to put his thoughts together. That was a very odd conversations. "Romance is often created, and only for a moment. I would say.. Romance are dreams. That touches the very being of us. Kinda like when you read or hear a story that makes scared. Its not real yet you feel it.. or a song that makes you cry..."
This sure was harder to explain than he had thought! He noticed however some movements in Ness.. But he realized just sweet talk wouldnt make her believe in love and romance.
"But, doesnt mean its not really meant well. Its an effort. Its imaginative. You let someone share the dreams you have and maybe even let someone elses dream come true. Make them smile and feel just as special as they actually are." Bruces eyes looked into her eyes deeply. Seriousity wasnt his strong side, but he were grave serius right now. About love. But then again, he often fell in love. "A numa only feel as special as they actually are in such moments, its not lies, its like a flashlight that reveals the truth" he nodded.
"Yes of course she is special to me. She is.. like my baby sister. Recently moved here to befriend a human along with getting a new home for her and her mate, they are really happy together" he smiled, remembering what a flirt Aika were and probably still is. But hers and Totos relationship was more than just flirt and romance, it were friendship and respect.... "Thats love."

Ness looked back at him a few times while he talked. Was he for real? Sure, everything he said sounded nice. Still, Ness felt it difficult to be willing to buy into it. Then again, when he gave her the rose and told her that her eyes was pretty. It did touch her in a special sort of way. She held the rose in her hand and rolled it around thinking about what he was saying to her. He sure was nice though. She liked his black coat. For some reason, the dark of his fur really drew her in; then again, she hadn't come to learn what her tastes in numa were either.
Then, her ears perked up as he mentioned 'her and her mate'. The pupils in her eyes widened for a moment. Then she started to bash herself inwardly. ~why would it matter if that were the case or not. Why do i care? It shouldn't matter. This is stupid~ She held the rose up close to her nose to smell it. It was sweet.
She then nodded to much of what Bruce had been saying. "Hmm.. I suppose you could be right. But, it's going to take more than pretty words to put me on the road to believin in junk like that. I mean.. it's not like I don't think of myself as pretty. I mean... I do. But, just because I like myself.. doesn't mean everyone else will like me." She smiled again finally. "It's ok though, really." She got up on her hind legs and hopped over to where Bruce was at. She gave him a brief lick on the side of his face. "You're a very nice numa. I am glad you came and talked to me today."

Bruces intense eyes watched her as she played with the rose, maybe she didnt even realize it at this moment. But for someone that are not into sweets, romance and love, she sure seem to wanna cling on to the little things. Maybe she were more of a romanticer than she thought.
"You really must have been sheltered" he said with a nod. "And, dont call it junk. Its not. It is for many the very meaning with life." He winked "And didnt anyone tell you, gal, that to love you need to love yourself first. How one feels about themselfs shows trough." It was then he, for a brief moment, looked surprised. Not by her moving closer, nor even the small kiss, but that she sincerely seemed to be happy. He gave her a warm smile.
He wanted to return the gesture, but knew she wasnt that kind of numa. Maybe she were too much of a player herself. She knew she were pretty, that she were loveable. But did she not feel she deserved it? "Im Happy too" he said with a smirk. A strain of hair falling down into his eye.

She sat down next to where he was at. She played with the rose still. It was easy and natural for her to fiddle with anything that was in her hands. She was always full of nervous energy and needed to 'fiddle' with stuff. That was part of her reason for taking her wiimote everywhere. It had buttons to push to release those tensions. She smiled, and her tail flicked about all fluffy like brushing up against him. "So... my romantic friend... are you going to sit with me for a while? Or, are you quick to rush off? After all, if your friends don't know you coming, and you can't be late. There wouldn't be any harm in it.. right? Your company does feel refreshing.
Ness did find him to be extremely likeable, but she wasn't sure whether that trait was something to put any rely on. She wasn't sure if he was the type to say the things he said to her to everyone. And, even if he did, it was perfectly fine for numas to enjoy one another's company without it needing to lead into anything permanent or emotionally bonding. There was such a thing as having friends she told herself. This made her mind more comfortable and willing to accept having time with him. Moreover, it made her actually want him to be around. It had been a very long time since she had a friend. He was certainly good enough of quality a numa to be her friend.
She tilted her head a little on the side to look up at him. She watched and waited to see if spending time here with her was a pleasing idea or not.

A light, amused laughter slipped his lips and he sank down to the ground, sitting next to her. Tho he had found the gentle, accidental, strokings from her tail most enjoyable.
"You are right, I dont have to rush, I have no need to or will" he cuddle back into the tree and let out a sigh of relief "aaah.. aint this nice?" he said and looked over the fields. The dead, choped trees kind of bummed him out a bit, but it was beatiful in its own way.
His eyes focuzing forward at the enviroment, strangely enough he still had the same look. Like if he was watching something breathtaking. "Wonderful.." he mumbled. Then he realized he totally seemed to ignore Ness and turned around, scratching his head. "Ehm.. sorry.. I think I spaced out there for a bit ^^;"
