Tinania sat up the moment he diappeared into the bathroom. Lifting her hand she runs it over her neck where the band had been just moments before. Looking back towards the bathroom she chuckles before she closes her eyes "I wish myself next to Lucas of Haven."

Within seconds she was standing behind him under the cold water. She didn't care at this point if her clothes got soaked, she just wanted to see him "Thank you for wishing me free, but I have to stay here remember? Its not safe to travel."

Her clothes did little to hide anything at this point, with her hair plastered to her head she just stood there, waiting to see how long it would take him to realize she was there, in the shower with him.

"You know, I'm half wondering if you REALLY like seeing me naked, or if the gods gave you terrible timing..." Lucas stood there under the water, wetting his hair. "This would be the second time, and I'm not at all sure you're decent, so it'd be best if you left by the door. Go sleep Tinania, you need your rest, it has been a trying day..."

Frankly, it wasn't that he didn't WANT to turn around and look at her standing there wet and almost naked in his shower. It was that he didn't trust his body one iota past being male.

Tinania frowns before she steps towards him, running her fingers down his back "I will sleep later. You set me free, so I will do as I please." leaning in she press her lips against his back for a moment "If you want me to leave I will, but you have to honestly say that looking at me." stepping back she kept her hands at her side.

"Look at me Lucas and honestly tell me you want me to walk away right now. If you can then I will." her voice was barely above a whisper as the water fell over her body.

A Ranger is strong, a Ranger is true, a Ranger is Noble, Lucas turned, looking into Tinania's eyes, trying to keep them from straying to look at her body before him.

A Ranger has virtue above all others, he protects the weak in the place of the strong. No knight is he, he answers to none but those he trusts.

"Tinania..." Lucas said, looking into her eyes.

A Ranger must do all that he can to uphold his village, his people, his life.

"Please, go, now is not the time for this," He told her truly, keeping his eyes on hers.

A Ranger must sacrifice, a Ranger must know pain.

Turning he looked up into the water.

I am a Ranger, by the all the Gods of old, I swear.

Tinania backs away from him before she turns pulling the door open to run from the bathroom. Moving into the room she seem to shake as she look down at her hands, trembling she closes her eyes shaking her head "Foolish, foolish girl. No one wants you." covering her mouth she slips inot the bed buring herself under its blankets.

She didn't care that she was wet, nor did dhe care that she could get sick. Turning she hide her face against the pillow as she cries to herself. She couldn't believe she had nearly thrown herself at him then to get rejected.

Coughing she tries to remain quiet as the tears fell.

Lucas sighed and when he finished his shower he dried off and dressed. Moving to his bedroom he saw here there on the bed. Moving to her, he kissed the back of what he thought was her head and said.

"I'll be back in a few hours... Then we'll need to talk..."

Tinania didn't budge as she heard him. Falling quiet she just close her eyes trying to block out everything around her. This was so stupid of her to be acting like this. Sighing she attempts to relax but instead ends up tossing and turning the whole time in the bed.

Lucas grabbed his stuff and left the house. Heading to the outpost that was his home away from home on long missions, he sat looking out the window.

"What to do, what to do..."

He spent his shift there, and round about noon made the trek home, stopping by the market to grab a duck and some more vegetables. Heading into his home he looked about the room.

"Tinania are you here? I brought lunch!"

Tinania was indeed still in the house, only she was up and about cleaning. Wiping the kitchen counters down she didn't hear Lucas come in as she was listening to music on her Ipod. Tossing a towel onto the counter she fills a glass of water before leaning over to pour it into the vase of her potted cabbage.

She was dressed once again as she was before, in her black jeans, only instead in her bra again. Her hair was braided so she could keep it out of her face. Humming to the music her hips swayed as she set the glass into the sink.

Picking up the towel once more she went about cleaning the rest of the counters.

Lucas watched her from the doorway for a moment, taking a deep breath he let out a long sigh. Thinking for a moment he started to move for her from behind on silent feet.

Is this really what I want? Is it worth the risk? Come winter she will be gone, is it right for me to do this? I'm four and twenty, there will be other women won't there? Am I taking advantage of her?

He wrapped his bag laden arms around her waist, and leaned in, planting a soft kiss on her cheek and giving her a light squeeze before disengaging and moving to the stove. Dropping the bags on the counters he pulled out a pan and started to prepare the duck, stuffing it with the vegetables and some hardbread from his stores.

He said nothing else since he knew she could not hear him somehow, her Ipod was new to him, and he did not know what it did.

The moment Tinania felt the arm wrap around her waist she froze, her eyes going wide. Turning she pulls her headphones off as she looks at Lucas shocked. Did he just, or was she dreaming? Shaking her head she coughs before she steps up next to Lucas trying to act normal "I hope you don't mind, when I get bored I clean."

Pushing her bangs from her face she looks over the food, never actually looking up at him. Her cheeks were slightly red, but being cold outside she was glad she could use that excuse.

Lucas chuckled. "It's fine... I do that myself..." Turning his head he smiled at her, it was a sad thing, but you could tell that he was trying, and that he'd not smiled in a long while, it was like his face had forgotten how.

Do I really want to put her through this? Can I ask that of her, doing what I had done to her when we met? By all rights she should hate me...

Looking away for a moment he looked at the stove and swore, reaching over the burners to turn it off and then turn on the oven, before placing the duck inside the oven to bake.

Is she just desperate? Do I want to be a rebound?

Turning he looked at her as he stood there next to his stove. He didn't know what to do, how to broach what he was thinking.

"So... about this morning..."

Tinania closes her eyes before she steps away from him. Turning away she shakes her head "I should go gather some more fruit. I was a rather nice bush full of berries." moving quickly towards the bedroom, she was trying hard to not think about this morning.

He had rejected her, why bring it up. Shaking her head she looks through her bag, hoping to find a sweater that she didn't know she had.

Lucas followed, keeping an ear out for the oven, he knew that it would take at least an hour, maybe two for the duck to cook fully, and he wasn't really wanting to burn it.

When he reached her he placed a hand on her shoulder and spun her looking her in the eyes. "Listen,"

Taking a deep breath he set himself up for what he wanted to say.

"This morning, in my shower, was not the appropriate time or place for that. It has been a long time since I've been with a woman. Six years in fact. If I'm to understand you, you've just recently gotten your heart broken. It's not that I'm not open to being with you, it's just that I don't want to hurt a woman who will probably want to go home in the winter." Letting go of her shoulder he smiled at her. "It's not that I don't find you attractive, I do, but I don't know you... The REAL you... All I know is a bratty little girl who pitches fits when things don't go her way. I need to know who you are before I can even think about doing anything like that with you..."

Tinania looks away before she sigh closing her eyes once again "I'm use to being spoiled, everything I wanted I got because of my fiancee. If I wanted to I didn't have to work. But I chose to work because I love my job, I love helping others learn their skill." stepping back away from him she looks up at him, her eyes a mixyure of aqua and emerald "I won't lie, I find your rather attractive. What I did was stupid, but I'm use to always being right."

Shaking her head she looks down at her feet "Once my wing heals I'll be able to fly home. That way I will be out of your hair, you'll never have to see me again. And we can go back to living our own lives."

Turning away from him she look through her bag again, pulling out her sketch book as well as a few of her spell books.
