the spirit within

[Raedia Saint Claire]

*It continues to be quite for several minutes. Raedia folds back up the paper and sets it beside her plate. The tea pot starts going off and she stands up to pour herself a cup.*

"So have you ever traveled through these parts before?"

*She takes her seat and holds her tea cup with both arms extended in front of her. Very into looking into Damion's eyes she waits for a reply.*

[saintclaire]

*damion nods*

ive traveled thru these parts for years. this cabin however seems to be new...this is the first time ive seen it

[Raedia Saint Claire]

*She returns with a smile.*

"I've lived here about six months. I don't really know anyone, but I do know that cave you plan on sleeping in. I had to sleep there until my home was finished."

[saintclaire]

*damion smiles*

yes i know there was an intruder i smelled your scent

[Raedia Saint Claire]

"I'm not an intruder. That's mean. Legally you were the intruder. Hehe. Anyway off that lame joke. You seem like your comfortable. Like you know me. Usually people are a bit more tense around me."

*She takes a sip of her tea savoring every drop.*

[saintclaire]

* damion nods*

yes i am very comfortable around you. there is no danger here...i see that the little girl mackenzie is just right outside keeping watch.

[Raedia Saint Claire]

*Raedia looks outside.*

"Yes she doesn't leave my side much. She usually keeps watch with everything I do. Every since I was little. Not sure why though."

*She shrugs it off and takes another sip of tea.*

"So what brings you through here now?"

[saintclaire]

im heading into town...there was a storm approaching so i camped inside the cave.

[Raedia Saint Claire]

*She cocks one eyebrow up.*

"A storm? Heck ya. I love storms. I say you really should stay in here though if it is because the storms here get worse every time and I would feel really bad if you stayed out there in the cold wetness. Please I bid you stay here with me tonight and enjoy the sounds of the rain on the rooftop and the lighting shining through the windows."

[saintclaire]

*damion thinks for a few minutes*

ok ill stay.

*he also thinks that he hopes that demon wont come back

[Raedia Saint Claire]

*She sees a look of concern on his face.*

"Is there a problem? You seem confused or something. Do I have something on my face?"

*She starts wiping her face frantically. Then picks up her spoon and looks into it to make sure she doesn't see anything.*

"Hehe. Now I feel stupid. Anyway whats ailing you?"

[saintclaire]

*damion shakes his head*

even if i wanted to tell you i couldnt....i meen literally....

[Raedia Saint Claire]

*She nodes in acceptance.*

"I understand. Everyone has their own secrets. Well I must be getting to bed."

*She said with a huge yawn.*

"Excuse me."

*She stands up and starts heading toward the room next to the living room. There isn't a door or wall between the two. You can see everything from one side of the house to the other. She motions to the couch.*

"It's a pullout and there's some blankets next to the fireplace. You can light one if you'd like."

*She walks over to her bed and lays down facing toward the couch.*

[saintclaire]

*damion stands up and stretches a bit and talks to himself*

it is getting kind of late

*he walks to the living room and examins the couch he pulls the lever and the couch turned into a pull out bed. he takes his boots and socks off not paying attention to the watching woman. he walks tot the fire place and touches one of the logs. it ignites. he grabs the blankets and throws them on the bed. then he takes his shirt off and notices the woman staring*

your staring

[Raedia Saint Claire]

*She hides her smile behind her blanket.*

"I'm sorry, but your just so intriguing to me. I haven't had any company and I'm sorry if I seem rude, but I just like to watch. Also you're really good looking if you don't mind me saying."
