"I think it looks plenty fine to me" Bruce replied and then sank down on all his paws and walked over to the blanket. Sat down next to Ness where she had directed him.
"Hmm.. how you manage to keep the icecream cool?" he asked wondering, he wasnt used to all the modernitys from human life. "Its such a hot day". Bruce kept moving on the blanket untill he found a spot that felt right for him, ground not always being the nicest seat.

Ness held up a small white box. "This is a cooler. It has ice in the bottom of it. It is actually my human's, but I borrowed it. I'm sure it'll be ok as long as I don't leave it somewhere forgetting where I left it..."
She gave them scoops and laid down on the blanket to eat out of her bowl. "Bruce, I wanna tell you about things. Like... the day I met you. You were the only person I had been around in a long time. But, since that day, I have made quite a few friends.. been a lot of places... heh. I been a busy nessie you could say."
She nommed on some ice cream, smiling from its taste. "I am really glad I knew you before a lot of these things happened to me. I was wrong to think so harshly towards your eagerness for romantic things. I guess it's not so bad. I wonder what happens tho... if a numa starts to have romantic feelings towards more than one numa... that seems kind of complicated... that's why I never went looking for those kinds of things."

"Oh.. a cooler.. of course I knew that.. not" he grinned and picked up his half of the fish, starting to eat it with his hands. "Your human has more cool things like that?" he wondered curiously. What could humans come up with really?
It was then he heared she wanted to talk on. "Sorry, go on" he said and laid down on his side, mumsing his fish quietly, listening, his ears twitching at every different tone in her voice. "Im glad you are making friends, Ness.. and.. I dont think its that weird to have feelings for more than one."
He stretched out, pleased to be laying down. "Maybe we simply like the feeling of falling in love" he said, most likely being the reason he aint settling down. For the nerving feeling of falling again and again, which he would loose if mated. "Tho you can be with like.. 2 numas" he said, "Nothing wrong with it" but he himself, if he did stay with someone, probably would want just one so he could spoil her on him without distractrations.

Ness popped her half of the fish in two. and, she popped them each one at a time in the air and caught them in her mouth. "Yeah. One boy asked me a while back if I'd be just for him, but there is just no way I can do that. I don't feel ready for that kind of thing."
She laid there on the blanket serving up ice cream cones for them. "Here ya go" She ate hers and the image of her might be almost reminiscent of a child on a summer day out at the beach, eating ice cream cones. "Do you want me to tell you about what happened to me last week? I don't mind to tell you. But, it is a long story. And, I don't want to bog you down with lots of listening if it feels like too much for you."

"Hmm.." Bruce thought of the idea of being just one numas man and he didnt totally hate it, but to think it about the ones he previously met seemed far fetched and not like it would bring any happyness. So he said, "Yeah, I agree.. seems to be more problems than fixing anything".
Finishing his fish, he reached for his bowl while watching Ness, she were looking so young and fresh today, fresh and wild like the air. Shaking the thought off he gave Ness a smile. "Talk on.. that way I can focuz on my icecream. Besides, for a guy, if I may say so, Im an excellent listener ^.~".

Ness smiled in a way that was almost demure, a rare sight for her. She wasn't known for demure gestures ever, just mostly forward things. "Ok... Well, first I should say that. I used to have a coffee friend from the swamps. And, he is very big. And, he is very masculine, and I liked him /very/ much. The first time I met him; I danced with him. And, I loved the way he handled me, and the way he talked to me. I wanted to go see him again hoping there would be more of that. I had visited him a few times, but I never really got a fair shake because I'm not a coffee numa." That gave Ness an almost sad look in her eye.
Then, she moved on. "Ok. So then, there is a little numa. His name is Yuki. Well, he is not so little anymore... but when he was little... I used to go to see him all the time. Sometimes, I'd fly him around. One time he gave me a picture he made of me. There were also some times I'd go over there to find him in a closet. Luckily for him, there is a window very way high up in there. I was able to get him out of it. And, then he grew up. His smell changed. The way he was responding to me was different. I was going to try to kiss him, so that I would be his first kiss as a grown up numa. But, he got very embarrassed. Anyways.. then the next day I went to see him. Turned out he had to help work on this place near the swamps called the Swamp Side Cafe. I stopped in there to see him and was visiting. He decided to take a break and spend some time with me. We walk outside. Out of nowhere comes my other coffee friend. And, he was like in ... such a rage. He went straight for Yuki. Poor Yuki. So, pretty much... I tried to save Yuki from the coffee; but the coffee just swiped me out of the way. I wasn't able to do very much to save my friend. I hated that. I hated it so much. You have no idea. I like saving my friends. But no, the person who saves him... someone who is so rude. It is beyond me why Yuki likes that thing anyways. and, ever since then.. It seems like everyday Yuki grows further apart from me."
She took a long pause after that long story. She finished her ice cream, and pushed her dishes aside to lay down on the blanket. She grumbled in a very low tone that was hardly audible. "bleh. I don't like all those warm fuzzy feelings.. they feel like traps."

Bruce didnt say a word as she talked. It was a long story and he even finished licking up his icecream during the time, not using a spoon this time as he thought it was too much of an inconvinience for him. Nodding now and then, he listened.
"So...." he scratched his head as he put his empty bowl down with his other hand. "In other words, the one you really liked, does only like coffes?" He didnt understand what was so special about coffes. Practicly all horror stories was based on coffes and the coffe which. It was dangerous areas for a candy. "And the one that are more.. like us.. are in fact liking the type you normally feel attracted to?" It didnt sound so weird to Bruce. "But its good, he was saved, no matter who saved him, isnt it?" Bruce felt a little puzzled, it was a lot to take it. Alot of new numas and new events.

"Well, Yuki doesn't like a coffee like that. The person he likes is a normal numa.. but he's pretty rude... and abrasive. I don't get that situation at all. Ok. Here I am. I'm nice to Yuki. I go and get him all the time. Am always happy to see him. I am open with him and let him know I think so highly of him. And... does he like me best? No. He likes that other boy best.. the one who saved him from the coffee.. who usually almost never says nice things. Stupid..." But, after she thought about what bruce had said. Of course, she is happy someone saved him. That is better than him having died. But still!
"Well, it hasn't been the same when I go to see him after that anymore. In fact, I think I'm gonna start to ease off on seeing him too much. That whole situation makes me feel very confused. In fact, it makes me feel ... a lot. and I don't like getting sucked up into a vacuum of feelings. I like to live in the moment.. and have fun.. and be pampered." She laid there still, feeling a bit sulky. That topic really did make her a bit childish.

Watching Ness for a moment he wasnt sure what really went on in her head. "I guess its not nice, nice numas want" he simply said. Thinking of the type Ness seemed to have liked. "I take a swing, but I doubt you tried talking to this Yuki dude about it, have you?"
Bruce started to fiddle the roses on his tail, which were closed cause of the very tense topic. "But, its never bad to take small breaks from others, in fact, might help them realize what they are missing out on too, dont you think?"

Ness rolled over on her side and looked up at him. She smiled. "I'm so glad you're my friend Bruce; but no. I haven't talked to Yuki about it all. I can't talk to him about that. That's like... Makes me feel a bit open and vulnerable.. leaving myself wide open for rejection and other unpleasantries. and I don't do that. It's not like I want him for being a mate or anything.. because I still don't want that yet."
She started to see in herself that she maybe wasn't being entirely fair to Yuki. She was obviously just thinking of herself. Little prickles running through her mind and heart. After being quiet for a while, she just let her eyes roam around looking at the tree branches above them. "It's all just stupid. I need to wash my hands of it. Get back to finding boys who like to play and kiss and dance and just have fun."

Smiling gently, Bruce just shoke his head.
"No.. I meant.. like approach him like a friend. Not like a love.. more.. like saying it hurts like a friend to be ignored or something like that, you know."
Bruce relaxed a little, half laying down. "I am happy to be your friend, Ness" he said and kept smiling to her. Fiddinling still with his roses, caring for them. "Dont stress yourself out, thats all I can say. Its not worth it.. I mean, life is supposed to be fun." so is love, he thought to himself.

She smiled a lot then. "You are totally right. Life is supposed to be fun, and I like nothing more than having fun. I just thought you should know these things since you found me in a miserable state the other day."
She rolled over close to him to nuzzle his head in a friendly way. "When I really needed someone, you were there for me. I won't forget that."

"Thank you, Ness, I appriciate it"
one of the roses on his tail opened up and he smiled wider. "I really do".
Looking up as Ness rolled over, he wondered what it was now. "Oh.. yes.. that.. I simply, for once, were at the right place at the right time" he said with a shrug. "It was nothing, really.

Ness rested her head on her front paws there laying beside him, her tail fluffing about here and there. "This is a nice spot though, isn't it? It's one of my favorite places in all of candyland. Almost noone comes here."
She was relaxing and taking it easy. Such a pleasant day to spend with a friend.

Bruce picked off the bloomed rose and ticked Ness on her nose with it, smiling to her. "Yea, its a very nice, relaxing place. Not like any place I normally would go to" in his head he thought about the thorny bushes he loved spending time in. He was happy that Ness seemed to be feeling better.
