<div class="floatleft">(http://i1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg481/indytims/theo2_zps942a360c.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong><strong>Theodore 'Theo' Munn</strong><br/><strong>Species/Element:</strong>Werebear<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>Black button-up long-sleeved collared shirt, black pants and belt. Black shoes/socks. Dk Gray/White pen-striped jacket. (Same as picture)<br/><strong>Time:</strong>6:15 pmish, August 1st<br/><strong>Location:</strong>On I-15 to Great Falls, less than an hour away<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Mellisa<br/><hr/><br/><br/>Theo listened to her talk about mom, and how Mel herself had taken a middle ground between her parents, and how she had their support. "That's great, to have the support of your folks in what you do," he nodded. "Doctor and lawyer - that's some power-couple," he said with a smile. "Let me guess - you're an only child, as well? Spoiled rotten? Daddy AND mommy's little girl?" he smiled playfully at her, glancing sideways from time to time as he did his best to keep his eyes on the road while still taking occasional glances at her.<br/><br/>She turned in her seat to face him more, which allowed him a slight glimpse of her of her thigh - which he definitely appreciated. Either she didn't know it, or she didn't care, and who was he to complain?<br/><br/>She confessed a trust in him, and he let out a low, long groan - and shook his head. "You should -never- trust men who have a deep infatuation for you, and want to get to know you very well," he said, his playful smile only widening more as he cast another quick glance in her direction. "Honestly, I don't know if I would even trust -myself- with someone so breath-taking," he added, and though he was being playful, there was quite a bit of truth to it, whether she realized it or not. If he found himself having her at a disadvantage, could he trust himself to do the right thing, he wondered? He liked to think that he could, no matter how tempting it might be to do otherwise.<br/><br/>And the thought of blindfolding her... sent shivers up his spine.<br/><br/>He chuckled as she questioned him gently about their current path of travel. "Yep, out of town. Great Falls, to be precise. You ever get out of Angel Creek that often?" he asked. He made occasional trips to Great Falls, himself, to shop for more items for his own store. He rarely found much of note but every now and then he found something interested to drag back to his own shelves.<br/><br/>"And no, I have nothing -terrible- planned for you, and I would never leave you for dead anywhere. That would be silly of me, when there are so many more interesting reasons to keep you in my company," he said, casting a smile and a wink her way. Then she leaned to him and kissed him on the cheek, then whispered something in French, and he no longer had the trusty aid of an internet site to translate for him. He glanced at her again, eyes narrowed, curious what she said, but he didn't push it. He did, however, enjoy the tingle that ran down his spine at her words, the way she said them, the sound of the accent heavy on each word. He shivered visibly and blushed very slightly - he was sure she would understand why.<br/><br/>"My passion for books and antiques began when I was really young," he answered. "I love history, and both books and antiques are sortta like... bookmarks in history. They're made, or written, at a certain period of time, and often can be thought of as a 'snapshot' of the time they were made in. Life changes so rapidly in so many ways, with technology and the pace at which societies advance. Some of those old books and 'junk' are simply reminders of the way things -were-. They can help remind us of where we came from," he said.<br/><br/>"I know... pretty boring stuff," he said with a grin. "But it pays the bills."<br/><br/>Traffic was normal for this time of evening, both coming and going as they reached a stretch of road that was more flat and open. By this time Theo could see that they were making really good time. He glanced at her as he spoke, in fact glanced in her direction as much as he could while also driving safely. He was tempted more than once to reach for her hand, but thought it might be a bit presumptuous on his part just yet.<br/><br/>
