Nic, keeps her eyes one her and starts to say "I understand keeping certain things away from prying and inquisitive eyes, that some of the stories you have lived are best saved for another time. However when are paths cross again once the time comes to leave this warm and cosy hideaway, I shall be more the happy to accompany you as long as you wish"  <br/>She says in a playful manner, standing up, and taking of her jacket on the side of the chair as she is now toasty warm. Continuing in a new found, but very slight confidence she says playfully,<br/><br/>"I am full of mystery, and full of wonder, well that is what one of my friends said to me once," she perches on the armrest of the chair she was just sitting in still looking into DesertFlowers gaze. she continued slightly more normally this time. <br/>"But you are correct, I was seeking a this place to hide away from the bad weather as you might be able to tell from my slightly soaked appearance."<br/>She gestured with her arms to her long sleeved top, and her soaked pants.<br/>"I found this place with the help of a fellow travelling gentlemen, he also said there would be warm food, and fine wine, and even better company."<br/>she smiles again <br/>"And yes, I am fond of adventure, have been all my life I have travelled great oceans, climbed my fair share of mounties, played even in a few tournaments. But I'm sure your journey is way more interesting then mine. Are you fond yourself of adventure, or do you just let your feet lead the way?"<br/>She stood up again and gravitated to wards the table, and motioned to DesertFlower, if she needed or would like some help.<br/>"May I please have a glass of the wine too," <br/>Now smiling more broadly and friendlier than before.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>DesertFlower listened in earnest as Nic opened up to her.<br/>"Why my lady, I was pouring for the both of us". She chided, mock curtseying with a challenging grin. Her confidence mounting upon their relaxed conversation.<br/>Moving slowly toward Nic, she proffered the glass toward her.<br/>"Your drink, my lady."<br/><br/>Settling on the floor, DesertFlower took a small sip from her own glass; the heady tones of the red wine danced on her tongue and she found herself savouring the taste with a pleasurable "Mm"<br/><br/>"I started out running, running far from a life I had no desire to be trapped in. What transpired was the feeling, the unnerving feeling that ingrained itself within me, the feeling that I have not yet found what I'm looking for, my destiny, my path in life. I know there's something out there for me, be it a person, object or a place. Whatever the case, I shall find it and as long as the feeling stays strong within me, I will allow it to guide me on my travels."<br/><br/>Pausing a moment, surprised at how loose with her tongue she had been; DesertFlower bit her bottom lip and looked away anxiously. Speaking quickly she pushed a change of subject.<br/>"Nic, I have a feeling you'd make a wonderful companion; this is a big bad world, it takes a strong backbone to want to explore the beaten paths and unchartered territories, I hope for my benefit we do indeed cross paths later on in life."<br/><br/>Realising her manners, DesertFlower looked to VisionBaby.<br/>"Can I pour you some wine perhaps? You deserve it after all of your hard work."
