Welcome to Gaia! ::

Catch: Can't swim huh? ... Well... lucky for you cause I'm in rare form today! -wiggling around a bit, he situates himself under her and starts to paddle about- It's easy peasy.. you'd could do it no problem.
    
Hellene: *laughs a little bit* Is that so? Well, then why don't you show me how?
    
Catch: -laughing he says nonchalantly- I hope you're ready for some 'hands on' time then... -he paddles over to the side of the pond and slips out from under her- If you can deal with that, then we're golden to get you swimmin'

Hellene: -begins an almost full out freakout, arms flailing mouth open in a soon to be scream, but after she slowly realizes she's not dead - she calms down and kicks slowly and calmly, yet still cautious-

Catch: Chill chill chill Hell! Oh my gods! I swear.. you're not gonna die! -unable to keep from laughing- Here... stretches out one of his arms, slipping it under her while keeping himself afloat by kicking his back feet- Take my arm for starters.

Hellene: *frowns and mumbles* Sorry, it's not like i've ever done this before *hesitantly takes his arm* You know, I don't know why I should be trusting you. I wouldn't even have to be in here, if it wasn't for you.

Catch: -grins at her- That's why there's a first time for everything. -pouts a bit, feeling hurt- Oh come come now... If I didn't pull you in you wouldn't be learning something new now would you? -lays out on his stomach in the water, still kicking his back legs, his free arm moving back and forth through the water-

Hellene: So? Maybe I was fine just sitting on the grass. Maybe I didn't want to learn how to swim. *glares at him lightly but still keeps a firm hold on his arm* ......So......you're not weirded out by the whole vampire thing?

Catch: Sheeshk.. you're acting more uptight than my sister! I didn't think that was possible. -gives her a teasing glance with a wink- Why would I be weirded out by it? -starts paddling away from the spot they were floating in, making sure it was slow enough so she wouldn't feel rushed- The only thing that weirds me out is my brother and his boyfriend > <

Hellene: Because it's unnatural? Because it's impossible? *furrows her brows and glances at him* You have siblings? You mean there are MORE of you? *lets herself float, only a little nervous*
   
Catch: -quirks a brow at her- Well it's cleary /not/ impossible if you're here now is it? XD -can't help but laugh- Yeah... I have an older brother and a twin sister. My brother is a boring drunk lazy a** and my sister is batshit crazy.. -snerks- She's worse than I am. -smiles a bit more softly as she floats along with him- Try kicking your back feet a bit.

Hellene: Well.....Well so!? *frowns again and almost crosses her paws, but doesn't for fear of falling into the watery abyss* Ah...Well, hopefully I never meet them. I have a brother, though he's not crazy or insane or anything - possibly a little up tight. Has a couple of kids, more than me anyway.....It's too bad you're a homophobe - you wouldn't like my sons

Catch: -admires her fighting spirit- My family is messed up..
. but I doubt you have anything to worry about... -gets a crazy idea, and without meaning to not remark on other things she had said, blurts out- Unless you ever felt like dating me -grins at her, somewhat teasing, yet, also pretty genuine-

Hellene: *struck off guard, forgetting to paddle for a moment, before she starts sinking - and begins paddling again* Um...uh...Well....I don't know...you are...intresting... *gives him a once over, beginning slowly* Well, I might, eventually, feel like dating you. Maybe. *smirks, just barely*

Catch: -laughs, reaching over as she stops paddling just to make sure she doesn't go under- The idea stunned you that much huh? lD -amused once again- Should you consider it I'd make it worth while~ -making sure she was safe from sinking by turning onto his back, gently placing his paw on her stomach- You're getting the hang of this pretty well~

Catch: -kicking back outside against the side of the shop, whistling and kicking his foot as he debates how in the world he's gonna try to win Hellene Over- She is a tough nut to crack... I'm gonna feel like Thomas Edison when he finally got the light bulb right if any of these dates actually pan out.... Dl

Hellene: *huffs as she hauls a duffel bag over her shoulder, then walks from around from the back of the shop - past the lake out front and towards the street that connects to the shop*

Catch: -picks up on sounds of manual labor of sorts, shrinking back for a moment till he sees it's Hellene lugging a big bag around with her. jumping up, he sneaks up along side her- Hey there... You know.. you always seem to appear right when I'm thinking about you. -spins around in front of her, holding a paw out- Can I help you carry your bag miss?

Hellene: *raises one eyebrow as Catch appears* Yeah? Well maybe I can read minds *smiles at him and shakes her head* No thanks. Im sure I’m much stronger than you anyway. *continues walking down the street* Did you need something?

Catch: Ohhoho~ Well if you can read minds and knew I was here... you must have wanted to see me -grins, then pouts slightly as she turns his help down- You know... I would try and fight that statement.. but you're more than likely completely and totally right about that! -slips back next to her, falling in step- Only the chance to redeem myself for that mess of a date if you're willing~ I'm paying and it can't be much worse than the last one.. so you don't have much to lose 'cept a little time~

Hellene: *smiles slightly and allows him to walk beside her* I don't know...the last one didn't work out too well. What if you break something this time? *amusement glitters in her eyes as she looks over to him and smiles*

Catch: Oh c'mon Hell~ Isn't there something to be said for persistence? -he laughs lightly as she looks to him, the sparkle in her eyes entrancing him even though it was almost pure mischief glimmering- And hey.. if I break something.. at least there would be a good reason for you to actually come see me.. in the hospital!

Hellene: Yes, there is something to be said, but I think that would be something about an annoyance. *laughs slightly, as they round up on a large house, her climbing the stairs of the porch* It would be a good reason, yes, but who said I would ever want to see anyone in any hospitals? *shifts the bag from one shoulder to the other, waiting on the porch, wanting to go in*

Catch: -chuckles, shrugging slightly- Heh... can't help who I am. -follows her up the stairs- Awww.. You wouldn't come see me? -dramatically puts his paw on his chest- You cut me to the quick Hell! ... -peers up at the doorway- Sooooooooo... This your place?

Hellene: *shakes her head* I never said that!....I just implied it. *looks at the door* Well, yes, but that and a million others. It's like a mad house in there most of the time. *peers at him warily* ....Would you like to come in while I put my stuff away....and get ready for our date?

Catch: It's quite the place. I would prolly fit in nicely here if it's a mad house. -snickers, trying to peer in too. a little surprised, he gives an enthusiastic nod- I'd love to come in with you~ -totally psyched that she's going out with him again.. even if it does end up another bust-

Hellene: *smiles at him and walks up to her room* You can stay down in the living room until I’m done, if you'd like

Catch: -steps inside, looking around and nodding- Nice digs. Not too shabby at all. ... -can't help but grin slightly, thinking how he'd rather go upstairs with her- Is that a possible invitation to go with you? I'd rather do that. I'm liable to touch stuff down here and break them if I'm left to my own devices

Hellene: *smiles coyly* I think i can trust you not to break anything. *gives him a once over* But if you insist, you can come up.....I suppose. But only for a minute or two. *climbs the stairs and opens the door to her room, one in the midst of hundreds of doors*

Catch: -the grin curls up a bit more, nothing devious, just rather wanting to stay with her and see what she's like in her home- I totally insist on following. I would promise to be a gentleman, but you seemed so sad last time. -laughs, purely joking as he follows after her again, content to being her lost puppy dog- Hotdamn this place is huge!

Hellene: *laughs as he follows* It has to be, to house so many noodles *opens to door to her sparse room, and waits for him to go in, stiffening slightly as she hears a wolf whistle down the hall* "HEY, Hell, who's that guy going into your room?" -several more doors open to look- *Watches her sister look at her with a smug face* Ughh, hurry, go inside.

Catch: -ears perk as he hears howls and cat calls of sorts, chuckling slightly- .. -resists the urge to get her mad at him by saying something back to them and slips into her room quickly, still laughing to himself- Oh man...
Hellene: *raises an eyebrow at him* What, my room isn't good enough for you? *shuts the door behind herself, silencing the noise, walking over to her dresser to sit the bag down next to it and grabs a brush - running it through her hair*

Catch: -hops up on her bed, tucking his arms behind his head as he looks up at the ceiling- Never said anything of the sort. Just seems a little empty for someone who seems to have so much to them. I'll just have to get you some flowers or something while we're out tonight for you to put in here. -turns his head to watch her as she brushes her hair- You're really pretty you know that?

Hellene: *stops brushing her hair, and puts her paws in her lap, quiet and blushing* ....You know, no one has ever told me that?.... *turns to look at him, and gives her a small smile* So, where are you going to try to take me today?

Catch: -looks at her, quite surprised. he smiles as she blushes, finding it cute and sits up- Well now someone has.. but you should have heard it much sooner. -gives a nod to her- Hmmm.. Well I was thinking maybe an open farmers' market or something. I hear they always have great foods and fun little whatevers. It's nothing fancy, but I thought it could be fun to explore anything. Maybe even find some stuff to bring back to try cooking up for our next date if you want to have another with me.

Hellene: *gets up and walks over towards the bed* That’s sounds fun. And I would only find that appropriate as we are date-'ing' which implies more than one date.

Catch: -thrilled and relieved that she seems happy with the idea. opens his mouth to say something as she walks over, but loses it as she says they are dating. his mouth kind of hanging open there, at a loss of words for once-

Hellene: *full out laughs at his expression, taking the chance to trot over and kiss his cheek* So, are we going or what?

Catch: -blinks a few times, things not quite sinking in till she gives him a kiss on the cheek. shaking his head as he snaps out of it excitedly, jumping off the bed- Sure thing! -trots right over to the door, opening it up for her-

Hellene: *walks through the door and chuckles* If you here any comments from my house mates - ignore them *glides down the hall, ignoring the lingering noodles* "Hey, is he your new boyfriend?" *glares at Emily as she taunts her and cringes even more as her mother pokes her head out* "Hell has a new boyfriend?" *walks faster*

Catch: -nods, but kinda gets caught up by everyone poking out and making a big deal of things. he grins as they ask if he's her boyfriend, waving a bit- Hey, name's Catch ... Oh um.. Bye! -catches up to her and leans in to whisper- They sure are a nosy bunch. I think I like them~ Oop! -steps on up to the door, opening it for her-

Hellene: *chuckles all the way through* You know, i can open the door for myself *walks out to the porch* So, tell me a little bit about yourself? Some things I don't know

Catch: -bows his head slightly eyes following her as she walks out with a grin- That you could.. but then I'd miss the chance to look at that cute lil tush of yours! -chuckles- You mean aside from the things you already know about, like being charming and good looking?

Hellene: -sighs at the butt comment and continues walking- Yes, preferably something not made up, like those two traits -motions to the road ahead- And you're going to have to show me where to go.

Catch: -can't help but snicker as she sighs, stepping up beside her quickly- Hmmm.. Well... -brushes up against her, nudging her slightly towards the right direction- I'm an odd jobs guy. Kind of a jack of all trades and master of none type. My older brother raised my sister and I cause our parents left us after we were born. I like keeping busy with whatever comes my way. There's not much to it I guess.

Hellene: *follows in the direction she's nudges* Huh, sounds very sporadic and immature. But, then again - it sounds like you *smirks at him and then turns back to the road*

Catch: Heh -scratches the back of his head- Chaos seems to be in my blood... but hey... it can't be that terrible if we're 'dating' now can it? -playfully nudges her- So.. what about you? I know some bits and pieces, but I'd like to fill in the blanks a bit more

Hellene: *lets out a breathy laugh and lets the comment slip* Well, my mother had me and my brother by accident - with some Edward Cullen guy, I think I may have met him once, maybe. Umm, my brother....I don't see him often? I have three kids, the last time I saw them, they were still kits. Hmm....I love rainbows...and I used to be fun?

Catch: -he quirks a brow as she talks of being an accident. he refrains from commenting, doing his best to just listen. his tail curls around hers as they walk.. purely in a comforting gesture- Anyone like you can't be an accident... no matter what. -gives a nod as he nudges her again towards the market- So.. why haven't you seen your kids?

Hellene: No, really, I was an accident in the most hilarious sense *laughs and smiles* Umm, well, I moved around the time of the kitting, and after I moved back...I just didn't....know where they were anymore

Catch: -frowns slightly, feeling bad- Well.. I think you're the best accident to happen~ -he says as he uncurls his tail from her, stepping up to a gate to push it open- I can't change anything in your past, but I can surely try to help you enjoy your now. -nods his head- C'mon! There's some amazing smells teasing my nose from in here!

Hellene: *furrows her brow* My past wasn't that bad? *trots in* Mmm, it does smell good

Catch: -flinches slightly, giving a nervous laugh, deciding that he'd better shut his mouth before he blows a second chance date and follows her on in- Wow! I heard this place was huge, but man! -looks around with stars in his eyes at all the food stalls- FIRST THINGS FIRST! -places a paw on her shoulder- Stay here! I'll be right back for you! -dashes off-

Hellene: *stops abruptly, eyes wide* Oh? Ookay? *hungry and salivating*

Catch: -staggers back, out of breath, a bouquet of bright daisies in his mouth. sitting down in front of her, taking the flowers in his paw as he catches his breath- These... are.. for you.. -holds them out as he pants-

Hellene: *blushes and slowly takes the daisies* I.......I hate daises. *smiles widely* But, I think I could learn to love them *buries her face into them, letting her purple hair mix with the white and yellow* Thank you.

Catch: -hangs his head, unable to do anything but laugh. he smiles softly as she tries to enjoy them, glad that she wasn't mad about them- Heh... -scratches the back of his head again, it slowly falling down as he watches her, his smile turning into one of a love struck puppy. shakes his head to snap out of the trance she got him in- So you ready for some food?~

Hellene: *smiles at him and nods, holding the flowers, slowly working one into her hair* Yeah....but only after this *leans in slowly, and kisses him, at the same time quickly sticking a daisy in his hair as well*

Catch: -smiles as she tucks a flower in her hair- That looks really cute on you Hell.. Hmmm? -heart pounds as she leans in. eyes darting about before he melts, eyes closing and not even noticing the flower being tucked into his- What.. was that.. ... -eyes catch the white in his hair and he laughs- I guess we can look pretty together then. -nods to her, grinning like a fool- To food then?~

Hellene: *grins back at him* Yeah, to food..... *sniffs deep, remembering something* Oh god.....How could I forget *looks green for a moment, eyes looking everywhere* Is....there a bathroom so-so-somewhere?

Catch: Then let's go... ... -looks at her worriedly- Um.. I saw one over this way! -rushes her towards it- Are you gonna puke?! What's wrong?

Hellene: *nods quickly, dropping the flowers and running* I-Im sorry!

Catch: -panics, picking up the flowers and watching her as she runs- .. -slumps against the wall in front by the bathrooms and anxiously waits for her to come out-

Hellene: *comes out a few minutes later, wary and slowly, but looking fine* Umm...I have forgot to mention.....that I can't....handle normal food. I, uh, must've forgot in...*waves her arms around, motioning* In the moment.....sorry, but could we go somewhere else?

Catch: -stands up quickly, rushing over to her as she walks out. watching and listening, ears twitching- Oh god Hell.. I'm so sorry. Yeah. We can totally go somewhere else. -dies a little inside at another fail date- Can you walk okay? I can carry you if you need me to. -slowly holds the flowers back up to her, ears drooping and sad puppy eyes-

Hellene: *takes the flowers back* It's okay, really. It's my own fault, I should have thought first. And no, I'm fine, but thank you. *smiles at him, just a little bit* I would kiss your right now but, you know, bad breath.

Catch: So.. -slips next to her, just to make sure she's steady as they walk, giving her a gentle nudge- Where can I take you that you won't get sick? -braves nuzzling her and planting a small kiss on her forehead- It's okay... I'll snag a kiss from you later, kay? -small chuckle as they walk towards the gate again-

Hellene: *smiles at him and thinks* Hmm...well....I do like parks and forests.. *looks at him and raises an eyebrow* Would that be okay?

Catch: -smiles and nods- That sounds great. Is there one you'd like to go to in particular? -stands up and pushes the gate open again-

Hellene: *shakes her head* Nope, follows after him* Do you know of any?

Catch: Ummmm... -pauses to think for a moment- We can get lost together and find one... it seems to work that way most of the time -laughs- Would that be okay for you?

Hellene: *smiles brightly* Sounds like an awesome idea, actually. Honestly, I wouldn't mind getting lost with you.

Catch: Ahhahaha~ Awesome... Well let's get away from this place.. I have an idea! -even though she had already said no, his mind was already working on an idea, so he slips under her and starts off to get as far away from the market as possible-

Hellene: *lets out a surprised yip and sighs, but saddles in, wrapping her arms around him, instead of trying to choke him* So I guess I should just wait and see what happens?

Catch: -grins, so glad she's not out to almost kill him this time- Pretty much yup~ It's just an idea, but we'll see how it goes -slows down as he is sure they are far enough away from the market- Alright... -lays down on the ground so she could get off easier-

Hellene: *gets off him slowly, even still just barely missing a kick to the face from her* Alright, well now what?

Catch: -flinches as he almost gets kicked- .. Alright... -stands up on his hind legs and motions for her to do the same- 'mere~

Hellene: Ummm..... *slowly stands on her hind leg, holding her arms out for balance* ?

Catch: -grabs her up, wrapping his arms around her and spins them around to get them dizzy. after some spinning, getting good and dizzy himself, he stumbles to a stop, setting her down- Whoa.. -stumbles around laughing-

Hellene: Waaah! D8 *flails and flails until they stop* What the hell was that! *flops on the ground, arms spread out*

Catch: -falls on his butt and laughs more. looking off in the direction she's flopped in- We go get lost that way! -points off in the direction, helping her up after, laughing to himself-

Hellene: Ughh, I knew I shouldn't have trusted you *runs off in some random direction, much faster than he ever could, stumbling a little along the way*

Catch: Heh... C'mon now... -chases after her, tripping a bit as he goes- What better way to get lost that by starting off by getting dizzy? -chuckles, catching up to her-

Hellene: *darts into some bushes and reaches out, grabbing him, pulling him in a long with her - him landing on her in heap* Oof! Well...it seems the idea worked, at least.

Catch: -totally caught off-guard as she pulls him in the bushes. dazed, he shakes his head, looking down at her- Oh hey... -laughs, leaning down- But of course .. -steals a kiss from her, unable to resist doing so-

Hellene: *spits and wipes her mouth* OH MY GO- EW! *glares at him....then busts out laughing* Just kidding *pulls him down and kisses him back*

Catch: ... -hurt for a moment, ears pinning back- I'm sorry @ @ I just... -totally confused for a moment as she pulls him in for a kiss. meeeeeeeeeeeelts and curls himself around her, more than happily kissing her back--

Hellene: *pulls back and smiles at him* Sooooo~?

Catch: -tries to follow as she pulls away, eyes opening as he looks dazed in the best possible way- I think... I am a happy guy... -swishes his tail back and forth- Very happy... -touches his nose to hers, purring-

Hellene: *gives him a look mixed of pity/amusement/and skepticism* Thats a good thing, yes? *laughs a little, bumping her nose to him*

Catch: What's that look for Hell? l'D -feeling a little.. awkward with her looking up at him like that- And of course! It's a very good thing~ ... Hey Hell -smiles down at her- Will you be my girlfriend?

Hellene: *brushes off the question* Nothing~ *chuckles again, that he even has to ask, pushing him off and smiling* Yeah, Sure.

Catch: -laughs, flopping over in the grass as he's pushed off- 'Yeah, Sure'? .. I can live with that~ .. -grabs her and pulls her down in the grass with him, just holding her for as long as she'll let him-

Hellene: *stiffens out of surprise, but relaxes and nuzzles into his fur* This, this is better.....for the date, I mean.

Catch: -smiles as she stays, running his paw up and down her arm- You know.. I have to agree. I still feel bad about what happened. How come you can't be around normal food?

Hellene: *sighs* Ahhh, I don't know. I just can't stand the smell of any regular food, I can't even stand human blood. All I do well with his animal blood.

Catch: Huh.. i bet it's a pain to deal with all the smells in the house huh? So like.. are you gonna try to bite me and stuff?.. cause I'd be cool with that. -smirks, bracing himself for whatever-

Hellene: No, by human I meant noodle AND human. I mean that I eat deer and large cat type of animals *chuckles and nuzzles into him again, her laugh rumbling against him* I guess I could bite you though, if you really wanted. It's not as bad to me as real food

Catch: Ah! Gotcha! -listens, pretty curious about it all. snugs her closer, enjoying the feel of her against him and her laugh- Ooo baby.. I'll keep that in mind for another time. Oh hey! -points up at the sky- It's a clear night tonight! The stars came out to play with us!

Hellene: *looks up, reaching up to play with his hair, at the same time* Mmmm....I love the night sky. When I look up at it, it makes me wish the sun would never some back out and the moon could stay out forever.

Catch: -amused by his hair getting played with- That would be something else... Though, I wouldn't be able to keep playing 'Guess her favorite flower' if the sun went away. -turns his head to look at her- The stars are dancing in your eyes...

Hellene: You knooooow, you could always just guess *tugs on his hair just a bit, to get her point across* .... *stares at him for a moment, before shutting her eyes and scrunching up her face* I don't have eyes, sorry.

Catch: Ow ow ow -winces and laughs as she tugs his hair- I could, but then I wouldn't get to bring you all sorts of flowers to fill your room with and see if I got it right! .. -snorts and shakes his head, smirking as he looks back up at the stars- That's too bad...I'm a sucker for green eyes!

Hellene: *laughs and opens up her eyes again, staring at him* How the heck did I fall for you? *searches for a moment, before leaning in and kissing him yet again*

Catch: -tilts his head to look back at her- I told you... I've very charming! I'm annoying, but I'm charming! -purrs, kissing her back and wrapping her up in a hug-
