With her eyes closed Shadow could feel the soft breeze feather over her cheek and the delicate heat of the sunlight play across her face as the bustle of the town square assailed her senses.  The breeze carried with it a multitude of scents and sounds and each gentle turn of her head would heighten one or the other…for a few moments more she drank of the world around her before she caught the subtle scent of a cologne… one unfamiliar to her, something about it made her skin prickle. In an instant her eyes were open, and her piercing blue gaze directed straight ahead of her as a slow smile slowly worked its way across her lips…<br/><br/>They had centred immediately on a young man, the breeze ruffled through his brown hair and she watched and silently mused as he walked through the town square, he appeared physically toned from what she could see, something that had always been an advantage… before.  He was carrying some papers under his arm and with a smile she watched as crossed the square with a purposeful stride…<br/><br/>Thorn’s words still softly echoed in her mind<em> “Choose well…as you always do.”</em>,  She smiled and slowly turned to see Thorn’s eyes on her and a smile on her face… Shadow had that look, that look she always seemed to have when someone had peaked her interest… someone she felt had potential… a look that Thorn recognised.<br/><br/>“What do you think darling?  He’s crossing the square with an armful of papers now.” She nodded her head in his direction…   “I think there is great potential with this one…” she could barely contain the broad grin.<br/>
