As lost in her own thoughts as she'd become, Etania had also become acutely aware of most of the sounds around her now.. how the dogs riled each other up.. first one barking, then the whole lot of them in the distance. Then of course, the occasional whinny of a mare or stud from the other direction. To her, it was like some sort of misunderstood ballad, where only the animals knew the song.. people were just the clowns that came in during intermission. So when the distinct sound of feet accompanied by hooves arose from behind, she knew she wasn't alone. She waited a moment before turning to see if it was the elder or the younger who had come along finally.<br/><br/>What she saw had taken her aback though. He certainly wasn't the Darius.. she'd seen his picture a few times. No, this must be Gavin, and she found herself a bit lost again. Her eyes took him in quickly and she tripped over her own words as she tried to give him a proper greeting, "Hey I'm yeah Gavin, oh.. errr.. I.. ugh.. okay let me start again. Me, Etania.. you Tarzan." She wiggled her eyebrows a bit, giggling as she looked over to him, extending her hand. She knew he'd grown, but she didn't expect he would be as tall.. dark.. or as ripped as he was. She stood awkwardly for a moment before dropping her hand, not sure of how to greet a long lost brother and dropping her hands to her shorts.<br/><br/>As she slipped her fingers through the small beltloops on her dangerously short shorts, Etania scuffed the toe of her shoe against the deck, "Sorry, I get a little flustered when.. " She didn't want to go on and finish by saying 'when I'm around someone as hot as you..' Instead she shrugged, and went with "when.. I meet new people.." She flashed a careful smile, trying her hardest not to look over his body again. Instead she turned to the railing and looked over it at the landscape. "It must be wonderful to be able to wake up to this every morning yanno.. it sure beats looking out the window at a brick wall." She let out a half bitter laugh and cupped her head in her hands with her elbows planted on the rail.<br/><br/>"So.. I guess if you hold open the door, I'll take my stuff and get settled in my room.. well once you show me where my room is." She knew there would be plenty of rooms of course, in a ranch house this large, surely there'd be a guest room or two. She heard that some other family might come along as well, and maybe.. that would mean she had to sleep in his room with him.. if only to ogle his hotness and chat with him all night to catch up on life.
