The village was quiet and peaceful as the afternoon was coming to a close. The fallen leaves from the trees ignited the appearance of the streets, littering them with nature's fire. Though the wind was cool, it blew gently and was not quite as intimidating. Though winter would be coming soon, the fall weather was absolutely beautiful and, considering the events of the spring, Cordelia was happy with the peace all around her.
One of the elements around her that made her feel so much at ease was Dokuja who had become her white knight. She may have known it all along, but so much had blinded her from seeing him as something more than a friend--until he came through when no one would, when no one could.
Still, though the wounds of the physical fight had healed, the scars her emotions had suffered were still very much alive, though... If she tried, and could be able to place her thoughts on better things, they vanished for a while. She knew she adored Dokuja, but she did not know exactly what he thought of her. Over the past months they'd stayed at an inn and had just enjoyed being away from the utter chaos they had been in earlier.
"It's so pretty," she said gently to Dokuja, referring to all the fallen leaves. She had her arm linked with his not only for warmth but for the simple fact that she liked to be close to him.

Beautiful...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the coming of fall and cooling of the weather, Dokuja was forced to layer on the clothing, already resorting to wearing thick, woolen cloth and heavy boots. Unlike most of the other villagers, his body didn't regulate heat in the same way; his serpent side made him cold blooded, and was fully dependent upon his environment to grant his body the heat it needed. Now, as the weather turned colder, he had been forced to wear winter clothes in fall in order to hold in what heat his body had gathered.
Normally, this would be the time of the year that he would spend mostly indoors, huddled contentedly around a fire in a warm, sheltered place, only coming out when he needed to. He practically hibernated! But those had also been lonely, solitary times. He had been a loner. And he hadn't known any different.
But now...now he had Cordelia. Now he no longer had to be alone, and now that he knew what company was, he had begun to realize just how miserable he had been, and could hardly believe that had been his life for so many years! And if fate hadn't intervened, if he hadn't devoted his lfie to the same mission Cordelia's family had, if they hadn't crossed each other's paths that one fateful day...nothing would have changed.
He was forever grateful for that...
And for that, he didn't mind the cold at all. Being out here with her was worth it; and being out here with her had also exposed many small wonders he had never before noticed. There was no place he'd rather be.
Hearing her comment, Dokuja couldn't help but grin. "You're prettier," he told her quietly, almost shyly.

Reply | Edit | Del Such a sucker for a sweet talker!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cordelia looked to Dokuja's eyes and saw his expression as he replied to her. He was such a sweetheart. She was lucky to have him, otherwise.. She didn't know where she'd be. How things would have played out without Dokuja was a complete mystery. Things definitely would have been different, but whether any of it would have saved Aren would be left untold. Perhaps she herself would have died?
"You're prettiest," she told him playfully with a grin. She knew he was being sweet, but he couldn't help but toss him that line back. She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and smiled at him.
"Where should we go?" She asked, looking about. For all the time they'd spent in the village, they definitely had not covered all the grounds!

Well...you're prettiestestest!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dokuja laughed at her comment and gave her a playful nudge, then returned her kiss, brushing one of his own against her cheek. "I know," he teased back good naturedly, grinning mischievously. He had by now learned her sense of humor...and he couldn't say he didn't enjoy it. It was a fresh change from the seriousness that seemed to run rampant everywhere nowadays.
And...it was cute, anyway.
"Hmm...I dunno!" he answered. "Anywhere with you is fine, really. But...hmm...well, we could always explore, right?" Indeed, there were so many places they hadn't yet been...
Only one way to discover said places, right?

<--Corwyn drops in...literally
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The small boy climbed the tree with as much speed as he could. His cheek was already scratched from previous falls but he wasn't about the give up. Not yet, not when he was so close! Biting his lip in concentration he moved slowly out to the end on the branch and stood up, balancing precariously on the thin limb.
"I can fwy!" he cried out before springing into the air. The little fiery wings that protruded from his back flapped helplessly in the air offering little more than a few seconds worth of flotation before their feeble flapping meant nothing to the gravity pulling him down.
With a shout the red headed boy fell from the tree right on top of the two people walking underneath. He was completely oblivious that they had been coming, and now had no way to warn them of his fall.
The comedy of the situation hit Corwyn in mid fall and he giggled as their heads grew bigger and bigger.

Oof!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dokuja blinked as, from above, he heard a voice cry out in excitement...
Looking up in surprise was all he had time enough to do. A second later, and something had collided with his face, in turn bringing him down to the ground with a groan. Ohhh geez...that had not felt good...
For a few moments, he just laid there, dazed, unable to really think, his face and head sore. Finally, he began to move, slowly shoving at the weight that was atop him. Sure, it was a child's weight; that much even he could tell in his disoriented state, by adding that with the voice he'd heard. But a child...falling on top of your head from a good height...
That bloody well hurt.
"Ow..."
What had he been doing up there, anyway!? Trying to fly?

Cordelia heard cry and heard it was close, but as she turned her head to check behind herself and Dokuja shesaw nothing and--SMACK both Dokuja and Cordelia went down. Cordelia did not get hit as direct as Dokuja did--being shorter than him and so close, he too most of the impact for them both.
Cordelia landed half on Dokuja's legs and the rest on the chilled ground. She brought her hand to her forhead and tried to get herself levelled and grounded. She sat up and saw Dokuja. He looked alright--shook up, but alright.
She then looked over to theboy who'd hit them and was... laughing?

<--Corwyn, mwahaha, I win!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WOOMPH!
He landed directly on top of the pair, completely unhurt because of his cushioned landing. If anything his small wings stung from attempting to hold up too much weight then they were able to, but that didn't deter his laughter. After all, how often did you jump off of a tree and LAND on someone!? It really was humorous!
Corwyn rolled lightly on the ground as the man pushed him off, adding to the fun of the moment. Yet, as much fun as it was, there was so much more that he had to try! Perhaps he hadn't climbed high enough onto the tree? Maybe it was wind that lifted his mother off of the ground?
Scrambling to his feet he raced back to the tree and shimmied up the trunk again. He had to keep trying. After all, his wings were bigger than before! Maybe in the last few seconds they had grown some more?

<- Syntyche
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntyche screeched to a halt when a little winged kid fell on two sweethearts walking down the road. After a few seconds it seemed a tad funny, but now was too late to start laughing.
Actually, the general weirdness of the situation hadn't yet bled out of her system.
Come to think of it, standing and staring at two, three rather, unknown people was kind of weird too.
She put her hands in her pocket and tilted her head to the side. Before she was just meandering down the street taking in the autumn scenery. That seemed boring now, quite boring. Some little corner of her mind started nagging about whether the sweethearts were alright.
Stupid corner. Of course they weren't alright, a freaking child just fell on them. They couldn't be in any perilous harm though, maybe just a little sore and irritated. Boredom didn't seem quite so bad now...
And the corner struck again. This time wanting her to make sure they were going to be ok. Well, as long as she didn't approach them with a dumb question like 'are you alright?' they wouldn't have a reason to get ticked. Unless they were-
Syn scowled a moment, driving the thought from her head, and approached the tree. "You... need a hand up?" she asked, smiling a little and offering the sweethearts a black gloved hand.

Ugh...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dokuja felt the laughing weight of the child who had landed on he and Cordelia leave and, rolling his eyes upwards, was able to make out the winged form of the child as he shimmied his way up a tree. A tree that was very close to he and Cordelia, and very likely the tree the boy had fallen from in the first place. Dokuja gave a start as all this registered in his mind. Doh!
"HEY! Hey you, kid, hold up! Get down from there now! Gah! NO! No, don't get down from there! Stay put! Stay right where you are a sec!" And then, with another start, he made to lurch to his feetâ€"but was held firmly in place by yet another weight on his legs. Blinking in surprise, he looked over his shoulder and saw Cordelia was there, sitting on his legs. Apparently, she'd been knocked down, as well.
"Cordy! You alrighâ€"?" he began, but stopped when he heard yet another unfamiliar voice. A feminine one.
Following the sound of the voice to its source, the first thing he saw was a black gloved hand. Raising his eyes, he met the girl's eyes, and embarrassment flushed his face as he grinned sheepishly where he was pinned. Heh...seemed they had a little audience...
But he couldn't get up until he was disentangled from Cordelia, and even if he wasn't pinned, he'd have let her take the offered hand first, out of politeness. "Go ahead, Cordy," he told her, glancing back at her with that same sheepish smile.
For the moment, at least, the kid's ascent up the tree was forgotten.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cordelia looked over at Dokuja and smirked. "You don't like me where I'm sitting?" She asked, just playing. For some reason, she just had to say that. Half to see Dokuja's reaction and hald just to get her mind off having been fallen on!
"Thanks," she said, taking the hand offered to her to help her up.
"Better hurry up, 'kuja." Cordelia warned, glancing up to see the child in the tree.

<--Corwyn...does a child EVER listen? *mischevious grin*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The small redheaded boy barely glanced over his shoulder as the people he landed on called to him. Pfft, they didn't mean anything to him! It was THERE fault that they were underneath him when he jumped! THEY should have seen him! Well maybe they'd learn this time? Perhaps they'd move out of the way so he could actually fly instead of falling on something.
Jeez....
stupid grown-ups. Always got in the way.
Taking the tree branch that was higher than the last one he jumped from, he slip fearlessly out across the bow, his legs straddling the tree. This time....this time for sure.
He looked down and frowned. They were still there....wouldn't they move?
"Get outta my way!!!" He cried, bouncing up and down on the branch in a slight tantrum, "You is...you is gonna make me hit you again!"

<- Syntyche
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You're welcome," Syn replied, looking up at the boy in the tree. Going up again, damn... the kid was suicidal or something.
Then again, weren't all kids a bit suicidal. At least enough to drive their parents out of their minds. Syn breifly remembered trying to climb into the well outside her childhood home, falling inside and being pulled out by her father. Where was the person that was supposed to flip out over this kid's antics?
Syntyche shrugged her train of thought away when the kid demanded they clear the area. Getting landed on didn't appeal to her at all... Though, just sprinting off wouldn't be right. She could help this man get to his feet and maybe attempt some small talk out of the way of the tree.
"Here," she held a hand down to the man. "I'm sure you don't want to get flattened again."

He tapped impatiently on the tree trunk with his feet, bouncing the branch up and down. Why weren't they moving!? He had already warned them that he was going to jump! Were they that stupid!?
GAH!
Angrily he made his way back to the trunk and slid down again. If they wouldn't listen to him then he would have to make them move! Gods, this was ridiculous! It was like he was dealing with 3 year olds who thought they were better then him.
Sliding down the trunk, the little boy marched over to the three people and began to push roughly, or as roughly as a 10 year old can, against the man.
"You've...gots....ta...MOVE!" He grunted as he attempted to shove them out of the way. Giving up he turned to the lady who had just arrived.
"Lady? You seem to help lotsa people...couldya pwease make 'em move?"

I feel old, suddenly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He was sorely raising up enough to take ahold of the girl's offered hand when, suddenly, he was being shoved and pushed roughly by a smaller form that grunted angrily and demanded that he move, and move fast. And the voice was ever so familiar...
Hissing involuntarilly with a mixture of soreness and irritation (which was, not surprisingly, induced by the achiness), he clambered to his feet with a soft groan. Ouch. His shoulders and back were sore from the impact, and he rotated them upon standing to lessen some of that tension. "Thanks," he told the woman that had helped him, before turning his yellow, serpantine eyes on the boy, slitted pupils dialated in the dappled light. Well...at least he was back down on the ground...
So, he was trying to...fly? That was about as much as Dokuja got from his little rantings while he was still trying to get his bearings straight. But, looking over his wings...Dokuja didn't know much about birds and the like, but he could tell those wings were not ready for flight. As if that wasn't obvious, since the kid had fallen of them. And it was lucky he hadâ€"for the kid, not for Dokuja and Cordelia. If he hadn't...he could have gotten hurt...
Damn, what a mood-breaker that had been!
Irritation slowly burning off as amusement took its place, he suddenly became aware of the hilarity of the situation. Which was only built upon as the kid continued to throw his little hissy fit...which, oddly, began to remind Dokuja of a baby bird hopping up and down, wings flailing, as it demanded food from its mother.
Dokuja nearly burst out laughing at the sudden mental image.
"Heh heh...there, there, I'm outta the way..." he said finally, stepping aside and smirking. "But, uh...you might wanna be careful..."
