Parker Greyson ~ Dr.Greyson ______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________ Parker could understand if Ophelia didn't want to go with him, he couldn't blame her, however that's not how it sounded at all as Ophelia actually sounded shock at what he said. Now Parker was shocked that Ophelia was shocked, the moment Ophelia got a little defensive as to why he asked her out and asking if she was a last resort compared to the other girls he could have asked, Parker lost his voice in that moment before shaking his head. "Lia...No th-that's not it at all...You were the first girl that came to mind and it's not just because you pretty either and trust me, you're gorgeous...We..." Parker started to feel a lump in his throat as he started to fear that he was sounding like a creep, however as he listened to what else Ophelia had to say, it had hit Parker like a ton of bricks as he gulped back the lump in his throat before continuing on. "Lia...We go way back, I enjoy your company Lia...and I know I can't ask anyone else, because I know I won't have as much fun with anyone else if it's not you..." Parker finished, meaning every word that he forced from how he really felt which was rather difficult for someone like Parker to show, especially in front of Ophelia, he almost felt like he was about to choke because he wasn't expecting her to even say no to Colt, nor was he expecting her to say that she was hoping he would ask her...Maybe going to get drinks wasn't such a bad thing as he thought it could loosen him up more to be more open to her instead of being so tense.

Embarrassed she looked to Colt blushing bright red. She looked to him knowing that he was a sincere guy. Once she got over the fact that he was asking her and that she was the first choice she felt like she was over the moon. She smiled up to him, bright and elated. She nodded her head eagerly and took his hand. Well of course I'll go with you dummy! she said. It wasn't like he was saying he loved her romantically, she was just happy she was asked to go. She couldn't think of anything else right now.
She left it at that and went back to work, cheerfully humming throughout the day. She couldn't hide how happy she was.
By the time she closed up she looked to Parker smiling. Let's go get something to eat. I'm starving! she said looking up to the taller male. Did you want to change or...? she asked lifting her hair a bit feeling a bit hot from working.

Parker Greyson ~ Dr.Greyson ______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________It wasn't a confession, but it was a start as her response was more than enough for Parker. At least now he wouldn't have to worry about Colt or any other man anymore as it seemed that Ophelia was delighted for him to ask her, her happiness was like his happiness, but he tried to figure out why she was so giddy, shouldn't he be the one to be bouncing all over the place. "Does she?..." Parker started to think as he slowly came to realize something about Ophelia, but he didn't want to jump to any conclusions, thinking about it more and more, it would simply be smart for him if he simply waited for the festival. Around the time of closing, Ophelia mentioned she was hungry. Parker looked down at her as he seemed a bit surprise, it has been a while since they went out to eat and this gave Parker another chance as he nodded to Ophelia, "That sounds good right about now, I'll be right back." He replied as he got upstairs to change real quick before coming down in a more comfortable outfit, though it was casual it wasn't sloppy as he even removed his bandana, reveling his ruffled, blond hair. "Sorry about making you wait, but I'm ready to go now." Parker implied as he walked over to Ophelia.

She smiled and as he changed she hurried to her room changing in a prettier dress. She kept her hair as is and walked outside with him. The streets were bustling and full of life, everyone excited for the festival. It's been a while since we had eaten out together huh? she asked smiling and wrinkled her nose a little as she craned her neck to look up to him. My treat tonight okay? she told him. She smiled and walked into the tavern greeting the barkeep and his wife. Hello! she said smiling brightly.
Sitting at a table she swung her feet, too good a mood to do anything else. She looked to Parker wondering what to talk about. You know Karrah seemed really happy today, I wonder if her baby is going to be a boy or a girl. she said thoughtfully. She said she wanted me to be her midwife...I'm still learning so I don't know if I should. she admitted a bit nervous. As of today, she had only assisted in childbirths, she had never performed one herself.

Parker Greyson ~ Dr.Greyson ______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________as soon as Parker finished his sentence he couldn't help but suddenly loose his tongue when he saw that Ophelia had changed her outfit as well. As she told him that it had been a while since they had eaten any dinner together and that it would be her treat tonight, Parker simply nodded before holding the door for her as they both walked out to head towards the tavern. It was short walk, but none the less a nice one as they both entered the tavern as they greeted the barkeep and his wife. Taking a seat he looked up at Ophelia and noticed she was looking back at him as she swung her feet in a cheerful manner. As he listened to what Ophelia was saying how happy Karrah was and wondering what the baby would be along with being Karrah's midwife, though she was still in the learning process she didn't know if she should or not, Parker cocked his brow when she said this as he reached out to her and placed his hand over her's. "Hey, I'm surprised you would doubt yourself, I think you would make an excellent midwife for Karrah, I've seen how hard you've been studying." Parker replied with a warm smile, knowing from observation with how hard she works.

“Plants are the young of the world, vessels of health and vigor; but they grope ever upward towards consciousness... ╔══════════════════════════════════════════╗
Ophelia looked up to Parker blushing when he placed his hand over hers and nodded her head. Of course I've been studying, but this is a baby. What if I mess up? she asked a bit worried. She placed her free hand over his and looked to him. You'll be there right? she asked. You're the only one I can depend on Parker. she said. I can only trust you to help me. Alright lovebirds that's enough flirting. said Amara, the barkeep's wife. She was an older, larger woman, who already had four children, two of which were in the Military Police. What'll you two be having? she asked making Ophelia turn bright red. A-a big ham roast please. We'll share that with some greens. she said looking to Parker and grinned. Also something heavy to drink would be great. she said smiling to Parker.
Ophelia wasn't an alcoholic, but she could hold her drink about as good as any other woman. Though sometimes she tends to go a bit overboard. Amara smiled looking to Parker in case he wanted anything else, and after taking their orders walked over to her husband yelling at him affectionately before serving the other guests at the bar. Ophelia smiled to herself and looked to Parker grinning. By the way, we haven't arm wrestle in a while. she said with a grin. Wanna play while we wait? she asked smirking. A champion arm wrestler.

Parker Greyson ~ Dr.Greyson ______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________Parker noted Ophelia's concerns as he could feel her other hand being on top of his as she asked if he was going to be there and how much it meant for her if he was there. "Of course I'm going to be there...If I wasn't I would be breaking my promise to you...And kind of neglecting my job as well.." Parker replied as he could easily recalled a promise he made to her when he woke up from the day he came back home from scouting, he promised Ophelia that he would be there for her whenever she needed him, that promise made him strong enough to pull through recovery so that he could be there for her then, and now this would be one of those times where he would keep to his promise. Parker almost lost himself in Ophelia's eyes until he snapped out of it when the barkeeper's wife commented, making Parker retreat his hands as he let Ophelia ordered. "Yeah I would like something strong to drink too, I'll have what she's having!" Parker commented quickly as he kept his eyes down as the order was taken. When Parker looked up Ophelia wanted an arm wrestling match, this made Parker chuckle as he got his arm in position on the table. "Call me crazy for taking you on after the last time we did arm wrestle, but I think I'm feeling lucky today." Parker replied with a cocky grin.

The woman smiled watching Amara head off and held her arm on the table. Being well known in the tavern already men began circling the table talking amongst themselves about how Ophelia was still the strongest woman in the district. She grinned to Parker as bets were made and took his hand. She smiled counting down, Alright on three. she said. One...two...three! she said quickly pushing against his hand. Her muscles tightened in her arm and she continued pushing against his in an effort to win.
She looked to him and smiled, You're a bit stronger than last time. What did you do? Work out? she flirted giving him a wink. She continued pushing against his hand gaining some leverage before she was pushed back again.

Parker Greyson ~ Dr.Greyson ______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________Parker braced himself as he waited for the count on three before he pushed his hand against her's, knowing Ophelia well, Parker knew better than to even show an ounce of mercy just because Ophelia was a girl, he pushed on as he felt the tables slowly turn but slowly turn back, being focused in this little game he hadn't noticed a crowd surrounding their table as he looked up at Ophelia as he face was a bit flushed from pushing himself. Smiling at Ophelia's comment, Parker simply chuckled. "You could say that, why do you ask? Are you impressed?" Parker asked in a cocky like tone as he tried to push her back, however it was only inevitable for his hand to slam back as he almost fell out of his chair. "You never cease to amaze me with how strong you are..." Parker commented with wide eyes as he retracted his hand and shook it a bit as he tried to regain feeling in it before he noticed the crowd that was around him as he froze in place.

She grinned as she raised her hand in victory. She stood helping Parker up and chuckled. I honestly can't tell you how often I surprise myself. she said shooing away the crowd after their drunken cheers and excitement. She refused any further challenges saying, I want to have a peaceful date with Dr. Grey. she said grinning killing two birds with one stone. She didn't tell Parker, but most of the single men in the tavern had asked her for the festival, and not just that, many have asked for her hand and have tried courting her.
She sat back down and sat closer to Parker smiling to him. You've grown strong though Parker. I really was impressed. she said as Amara came with their drinks. Smiling brightly she held up her drink wanting to toast with him. Ophelia didn't realize but she was like a light. Wherever she went she brought peoples spirits up, and brightened the room with her cheerful smile. Toasting with him she drank down her drink and sighed smiling to herself.

Parker Greyson ~ Dr.Greyson ______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________A peaceful date, that was something Parker would try to make this feel like, other than another ordinary hang out, Parker had other goals in mind as he watched her shoo away the crowds, "Yeah...Get away from her or so god help me..." Parker thought viciously as he recognized most of them were single men who had Parker a bit on his toes though he had no idea that some had tried to court Ophelia, and what he also didn't know that he was being watched by jealous eyes as he simply kept his focus on that one someone. "I have you to thank for my strength." Parker replied with a chuckle as Amara passed by and gave the couple their drinks. "Why do I feel like I could collapse at any minute...Like I could just die happy right here..." Parker thought, feeling his heart race as he raised his glass and gladly toasted with Ophelia, admiring her beautiful smile while doing so. Watching her take a drink, Parker also took a nice gulp as he lightly slammed his mug on the wooden table, trying not to look like he was cringing that much as he could feel the burn of the alcohol. "Holy crap that's strong!" he yelled to himself as he looked at Ophelia in disbelief, getting the same drink as her and she even took it more like a man than he ever could.

She smiled the burning in her throat a bit pleasant. She smiled his way when she realized the look in his eye and giggled. A bit strong? Sorry Parker. she said reaching over running a hand through his hair. I love touching your hair. she sighed with a childish grin. It's always been softer than mine you know? she asked smiling his way, her eyes a bit flirtatious. She thanked Amara when the meal came and dug into her ham dish. Meat has been harder and harder to get recently. Eventually only the rich will get any. she said to make conversation knowing Parker liked thinking more than talking.
She ate her meal and looked to him smiling. I love you. she thought smiling affectionately at him. She couldn't help but repeating it over in her mind over and over. When had she realized her feelings? Just when they were kids. That day when she saved him from the bullies who tormented him. She tried avoiding him since he was from a more privileged family but he followed her around and eventually he grew on her. His curiosity, and his wonderful intellect. He thought her beautiful when she didn't and said she was wonderful. Never in her life had she met anyone that she cared for as deeply as she had Parker. Well other than her Grandmother, who also doted on him completely.

Parker Greyson ~ Dr.Greyson ______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________"Oh no it's fine really, see!?" Parker replied, trying to sound enthusiastic in a joking tone as he took another swig aggressively, he didn't want to give up on this drink as the second time seemed to be less painful. "Woah...I'm starting to see why you like to drink this..." Parker implied with wide eyes as he stared into the mug for a moment before feeling fingers run through his hair as he herd Ophelia saying how much she loved to touch his hair, making the blond blush as he tried to respond to her. "Well-I-I...I Um...You're hair is just much more full than mine, it's like a pillow for your head, I wish I had that." Parker replied with a grin as his blush simply deepened. "How stupid can you possibly sound, you're suppose to woo her not make stupid jokes all the damn time!" he yelled at himself as he continued to smile. Amara then came by with their dish as Ophelia made a comment about the meat, something Parker had tried to get back into but the sound to the texture simply made him think of how good his own leg must of been to the titan that took it. "Yeah, scouters are risking their lives to retrieve this stuff but it would only make sense that way if it was only deer meat and wild boar, I don't know why beef and pork have to be so rare though, you would think with all the farming we have going on, but I guess we should just enjoy it now before we have to save up months to get some." Parker replied, recalling from his experience outside and the fact that he knew that only the privileged ever had any deer and wild boar from where he grew up. Taking his fork over to the plate he simply stabbed at the piece of broccoli as he took a bite , looking up at Ophelia only made Parker freeze up for a moment as he saw the way she looked at him, it looked almost the exact same look that Parker would give her whenever he would watch her from afar. "...Ophelia..." Parker thought as her name alone was simply something that gave the man bliss. Parker chewed on his food slowly as he glanced at his food as he tried to not look creepy when he had his eyes on her before taking another swig of his drink, trying to get that comfortable effect as he could feel butterflies violently fluttering in his stomach

She looked to him and smiled, Well alright. she said as he chugged on the drink. She watched him eye his ham and chuckled. You don't have to eat that if you don't want to. I know you're a vegetarian. she said stealing a honeyed carrot from him. But hell, these saute mushrooms are delicious. I should cook some for dinner next time. she said cheerfully. As he complimented her hair she blushed and touched her braid. D-don't be silly, it gets so unruly easily. she said happy when he complimented her. She couldn't help but feel like she was on cloud nine whenever he was nice to her or said nice things about her. Parker, you're so sweet. she thought affectionately, You make it so easy to love you..
As they continued enjoying her meal she was surprised when she felt someone's hand touch Ophelia's shoulder. It was Colt, and he seemed to have been drinking as well. Felia, what are you doing here? I asked you to have dinner at my house tonight. You said you were busy. he said smirking towards her. She blushed slightly, but frowned, clearly not happy he was interrupting her dinner with Parker. I am busy. Can't you see I'm having dinner with Parker? she asked shrugging her shoulder away from his arm but he took her hand kissing it in front of Parker. Oh come now, don't be like that Felia. I really wanted to take you to the Festival. We can certainly have a good time. he chuckled leaning close to her pressing his nose against her neck sending chills down her spine. Ophelia shoved the man away ready to pummel him.

Parker Greyson ~ Dr.Greyson ______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________"That sounds like a great idea when we don't know what to cook for dinner." Parker commented in response as she returned the comment about her hair as well, though she seemed to not think the same about her hair he could tell he was still able to put a smile on her face. "But I mean every word Lia..." Parker replied with a chuckle as he scooted his seat closer to her from around the table in a discreet manner. "I just need to get closer..." Parker thought as he was about to speak before he was suddenly interrupted by an intoxicated Colt. Parker tried to not make a scene at first as he simply took a swig of his drink, listening to Lia as she explained to him that she was busy. "That's right Colt, back off..." Parker thought in a dark tone as it seemed to be nothing as Lia shrugged her shoulder away, however Colt took her hand and kissed it infront of Parker as his blood began to boil and his grip on the mug tightened. listening to Colt as he pressed his nose against Ophelia's neck was the last straw as he slammed his mug on the table the same time Lia shoved the man away from her. With a loud clank from his metal leg, Parker stood up as he stomped his way in between Ophelia and Colt as he looked over at the other man with a livid expression on his face. "Listen Colt! Show some damn respect and lay off! Let her enjoy her food and company in peace and you can forget about the festival because she's going with me!" Parker barked as everyone in the bar looked over at him as they were shocked at the fact that he could even raise his voice.
