<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic">“That was beautiful, It took my breath away.”<br/><br/>He was just off to her left, only a few feet away.<br/>If she reached out she would be able to touch him.<br/>But she wouldn't even had to, his hand would slip back into hers.<br/><br/>“You were truly a different creature you know that?”<br/><br/>Again the smile was easily heard in his voice.<br/>He would start to walk, leading her slowly.<br/>The sounds of a brook would caress her ears.<br/>The scent of the water was pure and clean.<br/><br/>“Drink..and I will make something to eat. I think it has been a while.” <br/><br/>He placed a cup in her hand that he had waiting for him for when he visited.<br/>While she drank he summoned a small fire in a stone circle.<br/>Something simple, a stew was made.<br/>Rich in scent, robust in flavor it started to cook.<br/>OH a bard's magic was so useful.<br/>Most of it didn't seem helpful, but one never went hungry around one.<br/><br/>“I brought you here because this is my place of freedom, somewhere I go to get away. Its the start...where in the world would you like to go next?”<br/><br/>He offered her anywhere she wanted to go.<br/>Her hearts desires.<br/>How could he offer her anything like this?<br/>Well she'd have to ask...if she had questions.<br/>Or would she just accept that he is mysterious and leave it at that.<br/>If she asked he would answer, and if she didn't he wouldn't. </span></div>
