*And so it was the duo went driving, after one small belt off of that flask before handing it over to her. Wincing at the warmth, he gave a nod, and on they went towards town.* ... So what's your whole take on this world, Foxy? *He glanced to her as he drove and as he came to red lights, he'd look at her fully. The music softly crooning from his sound system was old school... -seriously-. Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra style. Oddly, it fit his personality.*

Amara Manwarring (Nov 5, 2011 9:27:50 PM)
*she smiled and took a drink of it before she answered. "That depends on the world in question.." She relaxed and watched the world slide by.

Travis Mahyer (Nov 5, 2011 9:29:28 PM)
Well..... I can't touch any of the others. So let's assume the one we're stuck in ....or at least I am. *He smiled slighlty, and paid -very- close attention to the road and all its dangers so long as they were moving.* What do you want to do? Where do you want your life to take you?

Amara Manwarring (Nov 5, 2011 9:36:30 PM)
*she smiled. "I want to live as long as possible, have children and teach them to see the truth of this world. To be strong and stand firm in their beliefs.. as I hope that I will always be able to do." She chuckled. "That sounds horrible rehearsed.. doesn't it?"

Travis Mahyer (Nov 5, 2011 9:45:49 PM)
.....Not exactly. It's either what you really want, and you've simply been asked a thousand times before now, or it's something you're trying to make yourself believe with all of your might. Either way, it's a good answer. Hell, if you were to throw in a bit about living a life among the wide open spaces and mother's bounty, with someone to love, laugh with, and treasure for all time......well.... that would have been my answer too. *He was smiling slightly as he rounded a curve, and rolled up into a rather large parking lot. Only to keep driving through it!*

Amara Manwarring (Nov 5, 2011 9:49:38 PM)
*she grinned a little bit and just watched him while they drove. "I like you Travis, you are really rather different.."

Amara Manwarring (Nov 5, 2011 9:52:34 PM)
"I've always been about finding my place until I got here, and then Caid and I started to get serious about a pack.. and this place. I swear it gets under your skin." She looked out the window and smiled. "My family swore I'd be back.. but I dn't think Cali is the place for me."

Travis Mahyer (Nov 5, 2011 9:56:49 PM)
If Kin came in cookie cutter shapes, our people would have been extinct a millenia ago. *He chuckled softly and lifted one shoulder in a shrug.* I have to say, I like you too. Maybe more than.....oh shit here we are! *Whatever he was going to say was lost as he turned ....into a huge hedge. Well, right beside it.* .... There we are! *PArked and shut down, he darted in to smooch the tip of her nose.* You grab the brandy, I got the blanket. *And by the time she'd climbed down, he was holding a big fluffy flannel blanket.... and a key!* Wait.... go -back- to Cali? You mean...... to leave not to visit? *He looked positively poleaxed for a moment, and her words only made him feel a tiny bit better.*....You don't think or you -know-? You..... *The idea she may -leave- seemed to ruffle his feathers a little, but he just sighed and moved off to open a gate in the greenery. It was akin to opening a door into Wonderland so it seemed, and he took her hand to tug her through a portal into a world of magnificent living be

Travis Mahyer (Nov 5, 2011 9:57:00 PM)
beauty, classical architecture, and modest glittering lights to mark their path.*...... Welcome to the New Orleans Botanical Gardens, Amara. Welcome to my world.

Amara Manwarring (Nov 5, 2011 10:00:05 PM)
*She laughed and climbed out with the flask in hand and folowed him dutifully inside. She smiled and shook her head. "They expect me to move back there.. I may visit them but I don't think I intend to live anywhere else now." She shrugged a bit. "This feels like home.. like I belong here." Her eyes took in the setting and she fell silent just staring at the beauty, moving a bit closer to him.*

Amara Manwarring (Nov 5, 2011 10:04:43 PM)
"This is incredible Travis.." She sighed and just relaxed fully.

Travis Mahyer (Nov 5, 2011 10:05:30 PM)
Parents are funny that way....... I'm supposed to be a Lawyer or something else equally boring. *As she moved closer, he slid an arm around her shoulder gently and tugger the True just a little closer. His eyes were glowing like the zillions of stars above, but he closed them. Taking a few precious seconds to breathe in her scent and affix this memory as a pretty damned good day.* Then stay here. *He murmured to her hair quietly.* Stay here, belong here, and ......well.. stay here I guess. *He chuckled faintly and gave her a gentle squeeze, the blanket tossed down too.* You have friends and family here..... right?

Amara Manwarring (Nov 5, 2011 10:08:23 PM)
*she nodded. "I do. I have a pack, friends both inside and outside of it." She watched him, as the closeness had her considering him even more but almost shyly as the blanket got settled and she offered him the flask before leaning down and crawling on to it to settle and lay back looking up at the stars. "More friends now I think.."

Travis Mahyer (Nov 5, 2011 10:11:48 PM)
*He smirked slightly.*....Mmhmm..... We've fought and died together, traversed bayou and badlands together, and I even finished your beer when you weren't looking. *He slowly melted down onto the blanket and grinned at her.* ..... If we're not friends by now, I think we might be in trouble. *He glanced over the grounds and back to her with a wink.*

Travis Mahyer (Nov 5, 2011 10:13:16 PM)
*And that flask? Yes indeed it had been caught, sampled and offered back. Damn rage monkey trueborns.....well his nerves would be fine tomorrow....if not sooner.*

Amara Manwarring (Nov 5, 2011 10:16:08 PM)
*she took it back and took a drink from it as she chuckled, watching him for a long moment before she offered the flask back to him. "You're still shook.." an observation, not a question. Once he'd taken the flask she moved her hand to touch his cheek lightly. "We are friends.."

Travis Mahyer (Nov 5, 2011 10:22:00 PM)
I know.... it'll be easier once I -know- those people....*He took the flask, and another sip. Watching her intently as she went about trying to un-shookify him. Not that he minded. Eyelids slightly lowered, and he sighed quietly.* Of course we are. *A slow, dimpled smile came into being as he reached out to gentle tuck back a lock of her hair from her face, and behind one ear.*

Travis Mahyer (Nov 5, 2011 10:22:39 PM)
*He was thinking things alright, the wheels were spinning, and it was a wonder smoke wasn't billowing from his ears, but he just..... kept watching her.*

Amara Manwarring (Nov 5, 2011 10:30:10 PM)
*she blushed slightly as she caught the intensity of his gaze. "What is it Travis?" smiling quietly now but that blush wouldn't fade.

Travis Mahyer (Nov 5, 2011 10:35:07 PM)
I was....... well I was just thinking. *Well THAT was a lame reply! Giving himself a little shake, he took a swig of brandy and a long breath. Observiing her silently for a few more seconds before his eyes drifted on to the gardens sprawling before their little hiding spot.* .....Well, I was thinking...... maybe I should meet the rest of your pack. *He cast a sidelong glance her way briefly, and away again. At least he wasn't the only one blushing! Messing around with girls in college was one thing. Even -considering- such a thing was an entirely different animal with a Trueborn.* I was just..... well... I like you. *He repeated himself a great deal when flustered it seemed.* ....And I don't want to step on any toes.... or cause you grief.

Amara Manwarring (Nov 5, 2011 10:37:53 PM)
*she thought about that while watching him. "My pack will like you Travis.. I know they will." She seemed a bit akward as she leaned and brushed a kiss against his lips. "Though.. I should make sure you are introduced to the tribal elder at some point.." her voice was very quiet and the warmth from her cheeks almost radiated.*

Travis Mahyer (Nov 5, 2011 10:43:26 PM)
*The nervous little kiss was returned gently before brushing his chilly nose against hers for a moment. Shining gray eyes met green, and her hand was taken in his.* Well..... maybe we should do -that- before anything else. Though....*His voice dropped to a whisper, and his grin was mischevious.*....I'm not known for good reactions to being told no......and having those I care about denied is even worse. *He chuckled and lifted her hand to his lips to put a soft kiss to her knuckles.*

Amara Manwarring (Nov 5, 2011 10:48:20 PM)
*she giggled and moved a finger to trace his lips after that kiss. "Not everything needs permission.."
