He smiled slightly, kissing her forehead with a somewhat hesiant brush. "Good," he said, moving to help her unpack all the boxes that had just been brought in. He smiled a ther over his shoulder, eyes flickering between her and the window, watching the men outside do what they had to. "Gem..." he said after a long pause "I have something to tell you." He sighed rubbing his forehead. They had just met, but he felt as if he had grown up beside her. "I'm being deported," he murmered

"When?" That was the only thing I asked. I knew that this was bound to happen sometime. A lot fo families had this happen and I was no exception. My father was in the Italian army, and had often been gone from the house during my own childhood. I was used to the idea of being left behind where it was safe.
Didn't mean I did not worry about him when he went. Nor would it mean I would not worry about Auraka.

He frowned, rubbing his forehead. "Day after tomorrow, thought you would like to know..." he said and stared out the window, smiling as the boys jumped on the snake. The younger one knocked on the door and Auraka opened it. "Thank you," he said and the boy smiled. "Nice snake, if you get any more just give us a call," he said with a friendly wave and nodded to Gem. Auraka nodded his thanks, closing the door and sitting at the table, head in his hands. "Will...you be okay?" he asked her

gem "Not the first time I've had someone I know go away to fight. I won't go there, its not a good place to think about really." I sighed. "I'll be fine though, I have my job, though I'm not always needed to work there. Plus there is still too much to do around here. I'll be pretty busy here while you're gone." I paused." How long?" I may be busy but it did not mean i would not be worried about him the whole time he was gone away from this land.

"Between 8 and 12 months," he said quietly. "It's because of my rank...I must have a command and I was ment to have at least another 6 months off...but their leader.." he paused thoughtfully "died." He sighed and flashed her a smile. "I shall help around the house until I have to go," he smiled

Gem Hawksong I sighed as i heard how long for and why. That was the hardest part for me always. With a father constantly away fighting, it was a wait that I grew used to easily now. "Thank you, for telling me." It was not the easiest thing to grow accustomed to, but i would manage eventually. I'd be worried though, the whole time he was gone, though we had just met like this. Fighting was not the place for me, though my father had tried to talk me into it. "And any help would be great."

He flashed a smile, giving her hand a quick squease and stood evenily once more. "Would you join me for dinner tonight?" he asked with a smile, heading outside to clean the garden, but paused to wait for an answer. "Fancy dress of course," he chuckled, looking at her with searching green eyes.

Gem "Umm... sure." I blushed. He did not know that I never wore dresses, though this time i knew I likely would have to do so. Luckily I knew that things would not be too bad for me this time. I liked the guy so why not give it a go. "What time?" I was a little curious, I knew i had a few little dresses, but nothing too good. I knew which one though I would choose. I had a rather pretty blue dress that I rather liked, though it was rarily worn by the likes of me.

He grinned, noting the colourful blush in her cheeks and liked how she looked embarressed at the simple request. "I'll finish this yard up...head home to have a shower and stuff and pick you up at..7ish?" he asked hoping that was okay for her. He stood uncomfortably in the doorway, waiting for her answer and looked quickly at the time. 3 o'clock.Plently of time.

Gem I nodded. "Sounds fine to me." I could not believe the embarrassment I had felt all so suddenly. That was something I was not in the habit of showing. But he had somehow managed to lower my defenses that well that it had showed. I was normally better at handling guys in times like this. Odd thing that should happen now to me. I smiled though as I continued to unpack boxes. One had a lot of clothing in it, so I moved it the bedroom, unpacking and hanging up the things in it swiftly.

He grinned, disappearing outside after her words and hurried to get to work. One weed, another million to go, he thought, unrolling another bag and started to fill it. He moved threw the grass and weeds, almost plowing forwards into a very green pool but mangaged to steady himself. "Found the pool!" he yelled and chuckled, pulling out weeds to mark the area.

Gem hawksong I laughed as he said that. "Don't fall in! I dont think its been looked after in a while so who knows whats in there!" I laughed though as i finished with the box of clothes and dissaembled the box easily. I headed back out to find the box of bathroom things. This was going to be done fairly easily. the house was starting to feel more like home with every minute I spent working around it. I knew he would head home soon to get ready. I could not believe he had asked me out...

Auraka chuckled to himself at her reply, marking the pool out safety before checking the time once more. 5 o'clock. He stood back up, admiring his handy work before stretching and pocking his head in the door. "Crocodiles and all in that pool," he called pulling off his dirty boots and wandered in looking for her. "I'll finish the rest tomorrow," he said finding the bathroom and smiling at her. "I'll be back in...less than 2 hours," he grinned

Gem Hawksong I chuckled. "Alright, I'll see you then," I said, smiling at him/ Luckily I did not blush this time as I spoke to him. SOMEWHERE BETWEEN SIX AND SEVEN PM I sighed as I got ready, knowing that he would be here any minute. Oh this was not something I was used to. I'd never felt like this for anyone, not even in school. Nor had someone seen me in this light before. I smiled though as I pulled on the deep blue dress that I had always liked. My hair hung mostly loose, though I had straightened it, to get the slight curl out of it. A thin chain with a silver heart on the end of it hung around my neck.

Auraka smiled, giving a wave goodbye before hurrying outside to his car. If he hurried, he could make the shop before it closed. He grinned, making it just in time and bought the gift he had in mind.
ABOUT 2 HOURS LATER
He pulled up in her driveway, parking the red ute and knocked lightly on her door. "Hello?" he called once no answer came and knocked once more. Pushing the door and finding it unlocked, he pushed it opened slightly. "Gem?"
