Adair waited silently as she finished. He took another bite of the deer meat, and swallowed before he turned and smiled.
"That's good, you feel up to a walk?" he asked hoping he didn't sound too eager. Adair really wanted to learn more about her, but he was afraid to pry. He'd been taught to be a gentlemen, and so he never knew how to ask about another's past.
"We can wait, I'm in no rush at all," he added quickly sitting down with his tail curled around the front of his feet.

Jacoliia smiled and rose, testing her legs. They held. Rather well, in fact. Meeting Adair had seemed to give her new energy...
"I could use a walk," she grinned, "otherwise I'll be SO stiff tomorrow... A walk would be nice..." Her ankle wobbled a bit, but then she was steady again. "You might have to be ready to catch me though," Jacoliia joked with a nervous laugh.

Adair chuckled, "Well then we better start right away. After you my lady," he said sweetly.
He saw her ankle wobble, but made it look like he hadn't noticed. Adair watched as she steadied herself, and noticed a grace about her. She was truly beautiful on the inside and outside.
"Well then I'll be there ready to catch you if you fall," he said with a smile. "Where would you like to go?"

He'll be ready to catch me if I fall... Jacoliia thought to herself absently. Is he talking about more than just my ankle?... Gah. Stop making things up, girl... you just met the guy. He wouldn't be talking like... THAT, yet.
"Oh, I don't know," Jacoliia shrugged, "and I don't really care... Where do you feel like going?"

Adair was silent for a moment. "Hmm, how about a walk through the forest?" he asked seeing a path. "I've never traveled this one before. Do you know where it goes?"
It may lead to the heaven you came from, he thought. Shaking the thought from his head, he composed himself. Stop it, it's too early! you just met her. He wasn't used to having fights with himself and thought it strange, as it was happening now.

"No, I've never been that way before," Jacoliia craned her neck forward, trying to see further down the path. She began walking, looking back over her shoulder to smile at Adair, "It looks nice, though. Let's go!"
She walked slowly, cautiously, not wanting to go to fast and then trip again.

Adair smiled and trotted after her. "Have you traveled these parts of the forest before?" He asked a bit curious. She said she hunts with others, so of course she's ventured through, he thought walking a couple of feet behind her. What a stupid, obvious question. Nice try at small talk. Adair silently rolled his eyes at himself, but stopped as he joined her.
He noticed how cautious her steps were and thought Jacoliia was tired or dizzy, and got a little closer. Adair gave her a kind smile, and gave her a little room, but still kept close.

"Yes, once or twice," Jacoliia replied, "A long time ago... I was actually in the area because I'd been through here... Just felt like... reminiscing, I guess," she smiled at him, "what about you, have you been through here before?"
Her heart skipped a beat as Adair stepped a bit closer, smiling at her.
STOP IT. You just met the guy. You don't believe in love at first sight... Do you?

Adair listened and took in every word she said. He was naturally one that would always listen to another, because he knew there were those out there who would pretend to listen. It disgusted him and he promised himself he'd never be like that, especially to a dragoness.
"Remembering the good 'ol days. I find myself doing that quite often now," his smile warmed. "I've been here once before. It was when I was little, my. . .I guess you could call her something of a sister, we would chase each other through here." Adair caught what he said and hoped Jacoliia didn't think he had found someone else or that he was in love with another.
Wait, what? You're worried what she thinks about another dragoness? Adair shook himself mentally. Jackie was a friend. . .But did he want to be more? He'd grown quite fond of her, possibly. . . No! One as beautiful as she is probably already has someone going after her. You love her, don't you?

Jacoliia caught his hesitation, but let it roll off her back, trying not to obsess over it.
If you want to be... more than friends... you need to trust him, she told herself firmly.
She gave him a small smile.
"I have a sister... and a brother... plus my pack... we were almost like a big extended family, so it felt like I had quite a few siblings..." A bit of sadness touched her face. Then she forced a grin and turned to Adair again. She felt like she should speak, but... She kept getting distracted by his mane... it was so handsome...
Snap out of it. She ordered herself... but still she looked at him.
((Gasp! What's this? Jacoliia is developing a history?! FINALLY!))

"I'd love to expierence something like that. The only family I've ever had was my first friend. She still wanders around here often," Adair caught her as she watched him. He blushed and smiled.
You like her, so go for it! Maybe she feels the same. Adair couldn't help but let his eyes wander over her beautiful markings and then to her eyes. They shined with a beautiful light.
Oh how torn you are. Aren't you?
He had caught the hint of sadness and felt like he should've said something. "Well I could possibly be like a small family. I mean as long as you don't mind me being with you."

Jacoliia felt her cheeks grow hot as he caught her staring. He probably thought she was such a freak...
She blinked.
"N-No, of course I wouldn't mind you being with me," she replied emphatically, "in fact, I'd kind of, um... like it?" Jacoliia ended with a small crack in her voice, and it sounded more like a question than a reassurance... Her blush grew.
"Um, I mean, uh..." She stammered, looking at the ground, the sky, anywhere but at him.

Adair chuckled warmly. He didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable and thought of something quickly. "I'd like it too." As he saw her blush and look away, his cheeks grew warmer. He knew she could probably see the redness and that only made it worse.
He cleared his throat, as he felt a lump form.
Keep calm, stay in control for heaven's sake! You're losing it man!
"Wow I've never noticed how nice it can be out here sometimes," Adair tried to change the subject quick. He scrunched up his face as a rain drop fell in between his eyes.
"I think I spoke to soon." He smiled and gave a nervous laugh.

Jacoliia's head snapped in Adair's direction as he spoke. He'd like it, too? Does that mean--? Woah, Jackie... Just... Hold on a sec. He might just mean... as friends...
She blinked as rain began to fall. She laughed slightly, nervously.
"I don't know, I still think it's pretty nice out here..." She was looking at him again as she spoke, and her cheeks burned with new passion, "Uh, I mean, ah, the rain feels kind of nice! Don't you think?" She babbled, trying to cover up her blurted feelings.

Adair heard her what she said and started to wander through their meaning. Could she possibly have meant. . .? You're losing it, all she said was it's nice out. But that look. . .
There he let hhis thoughts trail off.
He smiled warmly, and chuckled. "I do agree. It's beautiful, even when it's raining." He tried not to say too much or stumble over his words, but it didnt help as he held it back. Adair noticed he was staring at her as he spoke, and glanced away quickly. His cheeks heated again as he blushed.
Just friends. Take it slow and let your feelings grow. You don't even know if she feels the same way.
