I won't deny that. You said before that you had wandered throughout the woods for some time in search of this place. Why is it that you sought it in the first place? Are you yourself fond of adventure?"<br/><br/>Eyeing the unopened bottles on the generous spread of refreshments, DesertFlower gracefully rose to her feet and stepped toward the table. Uncorking a large bottle, she swiftly found some glasses and proceeded to pour.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Nic try's to respond to DesertFlower's questions, but is through off when she starts to move across the room. 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/><br/>
