Blaine nodded in mute agreement as he wrapped the limb she had touched around her hand and part of her wrist.  Zara was taking him outside... a fact that thrilled him completely.  How long had it been?  A little over 16 years before when mother had last taken both he and sister outside to play in the garden near the large willow tree where the pond was.  He trusted Zara completely but he was not quite able to ignore the presence of the guards.  He could sense, smell and hear their fear and loathing of him.  Their hearts pounding somewhat irregularly in their chests, their breathing was fast and shallow with their fingers twitching on the trigger of the rifles he knew they carried.  He could also hear the others that were not walking with them but watching none the less.  A door opened before him and the warm air washed across his body sending shivers of pleasure up and down his spine.  Blaine stopped momentarily a few feet out side of the door and tilted his head up letting the sun shine down on his face.  Hearing the familiar sound of long ago of willow branches swaying in the breeze... light ripples of water skimming the surface of the pond Blaine turns without waiting to be guided and instead guides Zara to one of the happiest memories of his childhood.  Blaine loved Zara and was perfectly happy to be in her company but part of him couldn't help missing his sister.  Sending a message even over the distance that was between them, ~I am outside sister mine... I wish you were here."
