Gazing in Wonder

[Malice]

He gave her a smile that had amusement stitched into his face. "That's okay! I'm half masochist anyways!" he joked around laughing lightly as he took a bite of his eggs keeping his eyes on her beautiful face. How come there was always these weird thoughts going through his head that he had never had even at the peak of his teenage phase? Perhaps it was just that he never saw any girls, other than Sasha, that got his mind worked up.

What should they do after this? Well that was a question that he could mess with her about and he thought that he might do just that! "We could always just go out and have some fun in a place away from people," he told her with a smirk on his face the hidden meaning there. He was just joking of course but his mind was working up little senarios that he wished he weren't having at the moment.

[Strawberry]

Sasha looked at him with a brow raised, the tip of the fork in her mouth after eating yet another bite. The words a place away from people stuck in her mind, making her think countless things that could happen if they were together. She knew it could happen, probably would, but for some reason she didn't feel abashed. Half of her was waiting eagerly to be alone in a nice secluded area, somewhere serene and beautiful if they had the time, but the other half was hesitating and afraid something might go wrong between them. Propping her elbow on the table, she rested her chin in her left hand and stared at him, her head slightly tilted to the left and the beginning of a smirk on her face. "Hm... sounds rather intriguing," she said, her voice a bit too low for her own good. Sasha could play along if he wanted to swing that way. She wasn't.. all sweet.

[Malice]

He could tell just by the look in her eyes that she was thinking things that young ladies weren't supposed to. It made the smirk on his face grow as he mimiced her and set his elbow on the table as well leaning his cheek onto his balled up fist. There were things rushing his mind as well and it made him want her more but he could wait for her. He was very patient for good things and she wasn't just a good thing anymore, she was a great thing!

"Very intriguing, no?" he laughed pushing his hair out of his face before eating some more of his eggs. "What secluded place would you like? The beach front? A room all of our own? Or perhaps we could travel to a forest or something?" He loved doing this, messing around with each other's mind. He had never been in a conversation like this before and it seemed that he wasn't the only one that thought his behavior was odd. People around them were staring at him shocked that he was acting so strangely.

[Strawberry]

Sasha shrugged, popping another piece of her pancake into her mouth as she thought. There were many places she could think of that would have her parents turning in their graves if they knew. Even the table wasn't helping her at this point. Her eyes turned upward slightly as her mind just pictured a nice wonderful place that seemed almost heavenly to her. "I don't know. Maybe a nice place with a small lake or pond with a little waterfall to match it, located in a wooded area but the sun can still reach into it. And maybe a large flat rock or two will decorate the shores or even lay in the middle of the water," she said, pulling the image in her head into a description as best as she could put it. It almost seemed like a place in a fairy tale with what was happening in Spira around them.

[Malice]

He listened to her speak of the perfect place for them to go and smiled softly. It did sound absolutely gorgeous and he wondered if there were any places like that around there or close to there. He wasn't sure but perhaps they could find something like it somewhere. It was the first time trying to find a place in his mind that would be perfect to take a woman to and it made him smile. There was nothing he wanted more than to show her perfection in a place where they could go to be alone but it was hard around here.

"Not many forests exsist anymore with that kind of view but I'm sure we could find somewhere that's a little like that!" he chuckled reassuringly trying to figure out a place with forests that he had been to. He was such a wandering fellow that he had been to most places but it had been so long that he had been a wanderer that it was hard to remember where exactly he had been.

[Strawberry]

"Yeah, it sounds like a fairy tale for us now where it was probably everywhere a few years back. But that would be wonderful if we could find something like that," she said, reflecting a soft smile at him. "Although we don't have to go searching for a place like that. I have a wild imagination and I tend to think up places similar or even better." And not to mention much more elaborate images thanks to him. But she had to admit to herself that he was more than she could ever ask for, giving her more to live for than just meandering about Spira and singing for the people. It got tiring, no matter how much she loved it, but she couldn't let them see her exhausted and worn out from so much. Sasha had to be there for them where many others probably weren't and it was the best she could do to make up for her mistakes.

[Malice]

He just lauhged and nodded his head to her. "Don't worry that imagination might come in handy later on," he told her hinting on things that he was thinking. Of course who wouldn't think things that were supposed to be wrong with her around making him feel like a complete and utter pervert. He sat there staring at her with love and thinking about making love to her! It was just a little strange for him!

"Just finish your food and we'll decide on it," he told her comfortingly knowing that look she had put on her face. Even though they had known each other a total of about a day he could still read her like a book and she could read him like a book; he was sure of it. He had just completed his meal and sat back patiently watching her with a smile on his face.

[Strawberry]

Sasha looked down at her plate, seeing half of her meal still there whereas he was done. She only shrugged and kept eating, a smile appearing on her face. After a couple minutes, she had managed to eat as much as she could with only a little bit of her breakfast left, but she couldn't eat another bite. "Well, I'm done. I'm such a slow eater," she said with a laugh. Sasha had been fighting the urge to sit indian-style on the seat, reminding herself she was in a public eating area plus she had a skirt on and not pants. Standing, she stretched her arms above her head and practically stood on her toes for a few seconds before stepping over to Spectral. She slid one hand on his left shoulder as her other one rested on his head. "I'll pay for my half, so don't worry."

[Malice]

He tried not to stare while she ate but it was hard seeing as she was so beautiful and he would be happy just watching her. It was rude though so he fought the urge and stared out the window with a kind of soft smile on his face. He didn't want her to think he was bored because being around her was enough to just set him off with happiness. There was no end to the surprises she brought to him.

When she was done he stood up with her taking her hand before laying down the money that he owned and shook his head. "No, no, my treat! I would feel like a jerk making you pay for half when I have more than enough!" he told her kissing her cheek lightly before grabbing up his scythe to set it back in it's place on his back. "Now shall we walk until we think up a place that we can go to?"

[Strawberry]

Sasha nodded and wrapped one arm around his waist, leaning her body against his slightly as they began walking. Truthfully, they didn't have to go searching for anything. She would be content in nearly any place as long as it was with him and him alone. Soon, she rested her head against him. "You know, you wouldn't have been a jerk if I paid for my half. I would have gladly paid. But thank you," she said quietly, smiling. He was just too much to ask for, but Sasha knew she woiuld never give him up. Not when she had him now.

[Malice]

He smiled as she got closer to him knowing that the young lady was content and that made him content just knowing he had that kind of affect on her. Of course it was just a merry go round seeing as when he made her content then that made him content so it was never ending and it was kind of an oddity but not a bad one. Woah that just have him the start of a powerful head ache! He was such a weirdo, just like Jovial used to tell him so many times.

"No problem, it was my pleasure," he told her wishing he could lay his head on hers but sadly he was too tall and that would be awkward. Instead he just settled with laying a hand on her shoulder to keep her tight to himself. Again people were staring but it didn't bother him as they walked down the street holding onto one another.

[Strawberry]

Sasha had closed her eyes briefly but she couldn't help but peek out at the their surroundings. The people were staring again, but this time she could care less. "You're really popular. I feel like we're going to be the center of attention wherever we go, like a main attraction," she said, laughing slightly at her own comment. She made it sound like they were on display for a circus or something and the phrase was just too weird. "You don't think any of those fangirls are going to pop out of no where and smother you, do you?" It was just a curiousity question and if they did happen to do that, Sasha wasn't sure how she would react. It would probably depend on the situation.

[Malice]

He looked down at her with an amused smile on his face. "They're just not used to me escorting around such a lovely lady in such an intimate fashion! Don't mind them at all!" he laughed kissing her head lightly before straightening again. The people he had met here knew him as withdrawn and very much a person that didn't touch people. That seemed to have changed as he walked down the street with her in his arms.

He thought about her question then laughed again thinking about all the times he and his brothers had to run because of a flock of fan girls coming towards them at the speed of sound! "Don't worry I wasn't born or raised here so they shouldn't be here and if they are I don't think they'd start something because of the risk on my back," he said meaning the risk to be the scythe on his back. "You don't have anything to worry about!"

[Strawberry]

Sasha nudged him in the side but she couldn't help but laugh. "You better not be swinging that thing around at normal people. What if you accidently hurt them without meaning to?" she asked, looking up at him with an accusing look. "I wouldn't be able to help get you out of that situation, no matter how lovely I am. And I don't worry about them mobbing you and squeeling and everything. I'm just worried they might give me a headache." Sasha couldn't help but tease him, acting like she didn't care if they came around. But of course, she'd probably end up doing the complete opposite of what she said. Sasha would most likely drag him out of there or show her claim on him in front of all of them so they could just leave them be. It would probably work, but who knew?

[Malice]

He sighed dramatically at her and ran a hand through his fire hair smirking down at her. "I wouldn't hurt someone on accident! I'm quite good at weilding this weapon, thank you!" he said with indignity in his deep voice turning his head to the side slightly. He couldn't help but laugh though and finally just flicked her head with the arm that was on her shoulder. "I wouldn't do that! Just threaten them a bit nothing more!"

He gave a frown that was of course fake and sighed yet again picking her up off of the ground so that her face was level with his. "Come on you know that you would hate them glomping me and loving me and squealing cutesy little names!" he teased her kissing her nose lightly as he held her off of the ground by a few inches. Spectral knew all too well what the girl would do to any other fan girls that came his way and he was kind of hoping one of the obsessive ladies would!
