He raised an eyebrow and nodded slightly. "I'll keep you to that," he said as they waltz around the floor. "So, how'd you like the horses? Something different?" he asked as they turned the corner and the song ended, meaning others could join them much to his relief.

Gem Lamya "You know me, I'm usually easy to impress when it comes to things like this. I did like it, I couldn't believe it when your freind, Pete told me that you told him that I once loved horses as a kid. This was the first time I have ridden since I was ten years old, though I had been riding since I was five at the time." I smiled at him as we danced. "You don't know how much I liked it, getting to have that small ride, though side saddle is not as easy as they make it look in the movies." I chuckled though as I saw a few of the others starting to dance. I knew that meant that I would have to dance with my father and then Drannor before I could be with Auraka again. That sucked quite a lot. When someone rested their hand on my other shoulder, I quite litterally jumped in surprise. Looking over to that side with one eye, I saw it was none other than my much taller and certainly much more muscular father. I sighed as I stopped dancing, knowing what he wanted without words. "I'll see you again soon," I told Auraka, kissing him lightly.
Drannor I chuckled, seeing Auraka left behind by gem and her ... father. It was a little difficult to control myself after seeing the man's face, but slowly that was getting easier now. I walked over, smiling at my old freind. "He really who we all think he is?"He would know what i meant. Was this guy the Italian General that we all feared and for good reason?

They span the last corner and Auraka nodded slightly to her father before letting her go with a quick kiss. "Have fun," he said with a smile and lent backwards against the banner and smiled as he watched them dance. Hearing Drannor's approach, he looked over at his best man. "Hm," he said but nodded slightly and ran a hand though his hair. "But he's not the guy...we should treat so, he cares for his daughter and easy to have a laugh with," he looked over at Drannor and frowned slightly "he is not to be touched while he is here...mak it clear to all."

Gem I smiled as my father took me from him, knowing that it was only fair that he got to dance with me. "Well, you've gotten better since I danced with you at my high school graduation, father," I said, laughing. "Didn't want to embarrass you this time, so I had a few lessons." "More than a few I think," I replied, clearly teasing him. He had been very difficult to dance with that time. He smiled at me. "You look beautiful Gem."
Drannor "He won't be touched, though he does seem a little wary of the rest of us for some reason. But I guess thats because he's not used to being here on pleasent terms anyways." I chuckled. "I think he's finally realising that no one is going to hurt him here, though they might on the battle field." I smiled at him. "Looks like its my turn to dance with Gem." I grinned at him and then headed over, stopping them fairly calmly, though it took some effort not to glare at her father, even for me. "I beleive it is my turn, Gem," I said. "I'll see you later, gem," the older man said, leaving her with me."

Auraka nodded thoughtfully, keeping his eyes on her dancing and smiled as he saw the laughter on her face. "How about you dance with Sahar," he called after him and looked over as Sahar approached him from behind. "What about me?" she asked bouncing her daughter while her son slept and Auraka flashed her a smile. "Oh your man just stealing my wife," he said and chuckled with him. Auraka looked over at her, smiling broading and gestured to Kasinda. "May I?" he asked and she paused but nodded, handing her carefully to him. "Hold her head just like this," she said and showed him, but he already had it. "Hello little one," he cooed and she took his finger and gripped it tightly, staring at him with bright grey eyes. "She looks a lot like you Sahar, but has Drannor eyes," he commented and she nodded with a smile. "So I have been told."

Gem I smiled though when that dance was finished and walked back over to Sahar and Auraka with Drannor happily. It was a long afternoon but I liked this sort of thing. But only because I liked being on my feet all the time. Though I had to admit this was going to tire me out a little, having to walk around not just for one person but four of them. "You enjoying yourself, Sahar?" I smiled as I looked down at the twins. "Looks like somethign tired Taeron out."

Auraka smiled as they headed back over and Sahar bobbed her head at Gem's question. "Yes, he can sleep though anything," she said with a smile and looked at Drannor "just like this father." Auraka snorted a laugh and handed Kasinda back to her mother, one last rub of her silky hair which was already turning red. He was suprised, he relized, that Sahar was actually red and not died. For the colour was so rich and bright that it had to be dyed, but Kasinda had proven him wrong it seemed. Auraka turned to his wife, offering her his hand and gestured to the dance floor. "May I have this dance?" he asked with a playful grin.

Gem Alexa King Drannor shook his head dissagreeing. "Actually I haven't slept since I came back from the last time I was sent out. You just think I did, love." I laughed, sort of understanding whatwhat he meant by that. Auraka had been having a bit of trouble himself. Though i knew that Auraka was starting tlo sleep again at last. I had been worried when he was not. I smiled though after what Auraka asked me. "As many as you want." I was more than happy dancing with him. I leaned over a little and kissed him. After all I was the one that had chosen him, and there was no chance of me letting him go."

Auraka wrapped his hand on her waist and pulled her towards the floor. Sahar humphed slightly and hit his shoulder lightly "so now you tell me?" she said and sighed, she cared about him so much, more then the heart should be capable to hold. Sahar watched the dancers dance, admiring how neat and graceful they looked together.
"Hm," Auraka said and smiled down at her gently, his gren eyes sparkling.

Drannor Silverleaf
"I thought you would have been able to tell. Not like its something I really wanted you to know. This happens to a lot of the other guys as well when it comes to coming back home from the field. Being out there killing other people and then coming home back into a peaceful palce are two different things, love. I'll sleep again soon though I hope."
I smiled down at her. "I'm not sure what to make of Gem's father. Part of me wants to hurt him, for killing so many of my freinds, but the other half does not want to hurt Gem, and I know that doing so would. Plus I cant exactly do so, seeing as Auraka told me he is not to be touched."
That made things no less hard for me, and though I had told him i would not touch the man, it was getting a little harder to not braek that promise. One day though, I knew that I would end up hurting him, but there was no way i could kill that man, as much as my mind told me to. A lot of us were struggling with him around.
Gem Lamya
I smiled up at him, completely happy to be here with him for once. I loved him and there was no place I would rather be. "So you like my father do you?" I'd known that he would hopefully feel that way. "Not so hard to ignore where he comes from is it? After all I come fromt he same country, and you already knew that."
I cared too much for the pair of men, though I knew that Auraka had the loyalty of his own men to worry about at the moment. I knew that though I was not from aroudn this area, he would not let anything hurt me or my father.
It had been hard at first moving over here on my own to live, but now, I was completely happy and was as accpeted into the community as he was and he was born here, or so I thought. "My dad actually took some lessons before he came over here."
Naina Collins
I sighed as i watched my old commander talking to Auraka and then dancing with my best freind, who I knew there was no mistake about her being his little girl. Things just had not clicked before in my head during that archery lesson. I was a little worried what ehwas thinking though because to him i was most definately a traitor. Not that he would hold that against me.
Then the man actually came over to me. "Nice to see you again, Naina."
I raised my head and knowing full well that I was still amongst my own freinds and not his own people I still saluted him, knowing that it might cause some trouble. "General," I replied.
"I'm surprised you came to something like this. Esepecially since I am sure you would have been aware that I might be coming here. You didn't join them did you?"
I sighed, lowering my head. "Unfortunately, I did." I looked up at him. "They're not as bad as well all thought them to be though. I actually get along with some of them. Though its a little amusing going through that initial training again, watching other boys struggle wtith things while I soar through them without any problems."
He laughed. "Still remember everything do you?"
"Of course I do. You trained me too well. I do not forget things when I know them in my head. Makes things kind of fun, watching the other boys struggling." My eyes wandered, looking for one of my closest freinds, Jason.

Sahar tossed her hair over her shoulder and sighed quietly with a nod. "I know...' she murmered and put her hands on his chest before looking up and meeting his gaze. "I hoped I was just seeing things...hoping that you were not going though it all..." she smiled sadly and kissed his nose.
Auraka bobbed his head with a grin, he was having fun. "Of course I do love, anyone who loves you in any way will always be someone I like," he paused and thought about what he said "well unless they are trying to steal you from me," he added with a playful grin. "You really do look beautiful you know," he said quietly as they danced.
Jason wondered though the crowds, searching yet hoping not to be caught by someone he knew. Which was hard because that was almost everyone. He spotted her, going slowly so not to make it obvious that she was what he had been looking over. He noted her speaking to the older man, reconizing him as the bride's father...the one the boys were calling the General amoung other things. Finally reaching her side, he stood beside her his loose hand brushing lightly against hers forcing a blush to creep into his cheeks. "General," he said with a polite nod to the man before him.

Gem I laughed at that remark. "Would I ever expect anything less from someone as wonderful as you are? I can't believe so many people came today." This was definately a day for me to remember for the rest of my life. "Gary and the others should be here somewhere." Not that i was going to look for them, they could find me.
Drannor sighed, resting one arm around her sadly. "Sadly all of us have that happen to us eventually. None of the new guys know that though. I did not think it would happen to me but it still did." I smiled at her though. "He's lucky to have her." She knew who I meant.
"You realise I'm going to have to tell the others that you have sadly turned against us, don't you? A shame that is for me, Naina." "I know," Naina replied. Then she smiled seeing Jason joining her. "This si Luietenant General Jason." I looked at Jason and smiled. "Jason, this is my old commander, General Zelphar hawksong. he was the oen who trained me back in Italy."

Sahar dark orbs danced over to Auraka and nodded sadly to Drannor. Gem had told her, and she understood how hard it was for them both. "Hmm had Auraka told you then?" she asked quietly "you know that he's leaving..."
Auraka grinned and gave her a gentle peck. "I know, I saw them over at the bar..food must be good," he grinned with a wink. He lead her in a circle but suddenly froze, staring over her shoulder and broke into a smile. "General Morris," he greeted the man. "Auraka my boy," he greeted him.
Jason nodded, offering a hand to shake with the General. "I guessed as much," he told her but met the General's gaze evenly "you train them well sir, she is one of the best students I have ever taught."

Drannor "Indeed he did. It's a pity but someone will be able to keep the rest of us in order as well as he did." I sighed, watching. Then I saw another face that i had not expected.
Gem "I'm glad they are here somewhere." Then I smiled as I saw the General. "I'm sorry about your son, General." I suddenly felt a little timid around the guy for some reason. Then again I knew that I should not have already known about that. "It's nice to see you came though."
Zelphar "I would expect nothing less from her. She was one of our best so you all got a good soldier out of all this. Saddens me though that the next time I see her I could be killing her."

Sahar nodded, wondering if Drannor would leave the army. She had asked him, but never really recived the answer.
General Morris dipped his head to his chest, his cheeks flushed from the cold or from to much wine. "Thank you my dear," he said patting a clusmy hand on her shoulder "Aye, Taylor was a good boy..a good lad.." Auraka gave Gem a small nod, before taking Morris and leading him slowly away and outside. "I will miss him," he cried hugging Auraka tightly once outside, and Auraka rubbed his back lightly, unsure what else to do. "Auraka, my boy, you can't leave me now," he said desprate "I'm not leaving you anywhere," Auraka said gently "No, but you are! At the base, how am I ment to deal with all these Generals..they say i'm to old for all this." Auraka paused, looking at the General and nodded slightly. "I wont leave you General," he promised, knowing he couldn't leave the man. Maybe a few more months...it couldn't hurt.
Jason's fist clenched slightly at the words but he forced them to relax. "It is a pleasure to meet you sir," he said instead
