((Sorry!!!))

Alex stared at Leena. Could that really be? He shuddered. As much as he didn't like the sound of it, it was possible. "Older than the Titans..." he echoed. His eyes darkened a bit, the usual soft brown eyes looking a little more like Hestia's; red with a kind of flickering light of fire. Then it faded, and he looked back up at Leena. "I hope that's not the case," he said. He got an idea. "Hey," he began after a little hesitation, "do you... maybe want to get out of this cabin... Walk for a bit?" His heart started racing faster than usual. He was pretty sure that everyone one within a mile could hear it beating.

((Whether you re join is up to Winter... But be warned that I sort of acted like your charrie never existed and my charrie's currently falling for Leena... Because they both got dumped basically xD Not to be mean O.o))

Alex nodded and then said, "Okay. Sounds good to me." He hopped up from the bed and swung open the cabin door and started heading to the woods. He peered sideways at Leena. "So..." Alex trailed off, again at a loss for what to say. Why is it he thought that whenever I am with a girl I can't think straight? Or talk or act straight? He shook his head. "So... You like music, I guess?" he said hopelessly. It was a question, but a kind of strange one that sounded stupid. "What's your favourite genre?" he added quickly to the question.

Leena laughed, following Alex outside, "Yeah, I love music, and my favorite genre is, well just about everything. My father's the god of music, after all."

((Act straight? Is he gay? JK, Jk. XD I talk to Lave too much. )) 

((Yeah I started thinking that too after I posted it >.< lol))

Alex found himself laughing with Leena too. It was the obvious answer... He was being stupid, really... As the two entered the woods after a period of silence, Alex looked around. Leena was right. Shafts of sunlight left patches of sun on the gr*censored*, emerald moss was on top of rocks and on trees... "It is nice here," he murmured softly. Then he looked at Leena; her hair shone in the sunlight. Why hadn't he noticed before that it was so... So beautiful, was the word he was searching for. It was as if some veil had vanished and suddenly he was seeing Leena in a different way...

Alex snapped out of the trance. "Y-yeah," he agreed. His face grew red, so he looked elsewhere, pretending to be looking at the scenery. This is the feeling I got around Juniper... he thought to himself. His palms grew sweaty. Why was this happening to him? "Whenever I need to be reminded of that...And whenever I want to have some time by myself I always find myself walking towards the canu lake (spelling phail Dx) and looking at the sky," Alex said.

((-is braindead-))

((-can't you feel the love tonight- ))

Alex couldn't find anything to say now. He stared into Leena's eyes and without realizing it reached out and grabbed her hand. It was soft...And warm. This was deeper than the feeling he had had when around Juniper, he thought.

((xD *COUGHHACKSPUTTERCOUGH* Psh, it's not like my friend (yes, truly my friend, not me. :P) made Alex gay in her fanfiction of this roleplay! Pffff course not! *hackcough* I found that ironic.))

Juniper listened to the story without noise, accidentally leaving an awkward silence between the time he finished and the time she began to talk again. She was to busy sorting things through her head to respond immediatedly, though, realizing that this may have made the moment even more terrifying for Dravius. "So," Her voice was curious, as she continued, "You expect me to judge you as a person based on your past?" It was obvious she was not offended, and she slowly leaned forwards and straightened herself up, her eyes showing she was a little puzzled. "Dravius, it truly doesn't affect me that those things have happened to you. That was the past. I'd say live for the present, but that would be dumb and hypocritical, I think too much about the future myself to say that. I understand that it's scarring and painful, I've had my share of those expiriences too, but know that we're your family here." Juniper then made a face, realizing this sounded strange. "I mean, in a weird, kiind of... friend slash girlfriend way. Not that everyone here's your girlfriend either- you know, I'm just a little tounge tied right now." She said with a good humor in her voice.

((lol Winter xD Seriously ironic... ))

Alex realized what he had done but didn't let go of Leena's hand. He reached up with his free hand and took a strand of her hair that was in her face and placed in gently behind her ear. "U-umm," he started. "Should we head back? Or stay here longer?"
