"No, no. I like Spaz better," she retorted resolutely, her face lit up by laughter and good humor. When was the last time she'd done this? She hugged him tightly once he hugged her back and then peered up at him.
"Meaning what?" She asked. "How I'm just absolutely in love with you and would just die from one look from you?" She pretended to swoon and then faint in his arms and then laughed, sitting up straight. "What do you wanna know, Spaz?"
This level of comfort, of intimacy without any direct results from it, without a need for any greater sort of intimacy, was astounding in how close it had come. She was absolutely in love with it.

He smiled, "Well I don't want to be called Spaz either. Thanks." He said as he tapped her on the cheek twice. Leaving his arms about her loosely, he put on a serious face and replied to her, "Yeah something like that Sassie, you know about how you're dying to sneak into my room late at night..." He smirked, his hold on her tightening for a moment asshe feigned her enthusiasm for him, "Enough with the 'spaz ' okay? No, it doesn't mean you can go back tto Cutie either. Okay?" He paused, and continued, "I don't know, like... do you have any brothers or sisters? Well okay maybe not that, because you don't know your arents but... something like..." He thought hard.
"You know, stuff like I've got an brother, and a younger sister, My sister and I get on really well, as I do with my mother and I don't really get on well with Either my brother or my father. They're both to rigid. I was very ...adored by my mother as sa child, I was the second son, so it was obvious she could spoil me as much as she liked and my father wouldn't care." He smiled, "So I got all of the attention by brother didn't, then my sister and I shared it. My Father's a pretty well off Trader in Telgar, He doesn't really like the Caminar, they tend to drop his sales figures.
"Ehm, I was searched by G'tet. the green rider, with Kalpeth? I'dalyn took me back to the hold, where I said goodbye and got some of my stuff." He stopped, thinking of what other privvy information he could give her.
"I like girls. Usually prefer girls I date to be curvy, nice breasts, not that you particularly care. I like people who can appreciate themselves, and know how to treat themselves, I don't like scruffy or untidy people. I'd quicker lay by the lake, than go swimming in it. I'd rather be higher than lower - I mean that in height wise - like I'd prefer to be at the top of a hill to the bottom. Favourite colour is blue." He said, then with realisation twiddledd the blue death in his hair, "And as you've guessed, I'm pretty odd." He smiled. "Best I can do for me, unless you have questions? And if not, fire-away with stuff about you?"
He had just about confessed everything to her, there was little else of any interest or value about him. He was exactly what he was.

She sighed gustily. "Well, I've got to call you something, haven't I? Do you have any suggestions then, or are you just going to whine and complain? I'll use Ezi for special occassions." She beamed and then listened to him, face rapt with her attention.
"So, my Ezi has a large family, he gets along with women, was searched by a greenrider, likes girls, would rather be top than bottom, likes blue and is odd. Mm'kay." She settled back against him, thinking for a moment.
"Well, as you know I didn't really know my parents. I know who my mother is but she's only that in the most formal use of the word. You know too that Mother Terri took me in. I've found that I like to take care of people, to help them out. The friends I had started calling me little mother. Mmm. I love dragons. I love every one of them whether green, brown, blue, bronze or gold.
"I'm a pretty simple person, though I can't say that I'm simple-minded. I like things that are simple, that don't have to be changed or added to make them pretty. Like the sky. The sky is so beautiful and needs no changing. But some people don't like it because they only think it's blue.
"I'm a little too mature, but I absolutely love when I can be just happy and carefree, really very immature with someone." She elbowed him lightly here. "I do like boys, but I haven't a very specific type. I guess tall-which isn't much of a problem-and maybe long-haired. Again, usually not much of a problem. My favorite color is purple, my favorite food is red fruit, my favorite season is autumn and my favorite possession is my dark brown skirt."
She swiveled to look at him, absolutely beaming. She didn't think she'd smiled so much with one person in so long. "How was that, darling?"

"It was good for me anyways," He winked, and laughed, amused at what the words were usually pitted to, "But, it is nice to know about you I think, I think it gives me a little thing most guys don't have with you anyway." He smiled, "The sky thhough - thats something I agree with, I could sit for hours on end watching it, just letting the clouds slip by." He smiled loftily. "Red fruit? ha, probably similar, though I'm a sucker for a nice wherry stew..." He pondered, "Favourite possession, probably this thihng i bought about two turns ago, a silver feather? iIt's crafter perfectly, Caminar made - not that I told my father that, I don't wear it often. Season? I like spring. Means I don't have to wear as many clothes - though it seems here, I'll bee stuck in my winter clothes all turn round." He sighed, it didnt sound too appealing. "I like being able to show myself off a little," He smirked, "Not that you could have guessed that now eh?" He smirked.
"I think I can deal with your over maturity rather well." He said as he pulled her into his embrace a little more, "You're like butter rbefore the blazing sun to me eh?" He laughed.
"So, back to you're ideal guy - Tall, long hair, golden-y brown eyes? Red hair? Unquestionably debonair, and marvellously talented? And Sexually ravishing?" He smirked, sat bacck, preened a little as ahe spoke, smirk still threatening to break his perfect facade.

"Mmm, so you and I have a lot in common. Sort of." She laughed and nodded. "Uh-huh, uh-huh. Yes, I see. I love the sky even more at night, I can make a wherry-stew that would make your knees weak, your feathers are enchanting, my dear, and I would never have guessed." She squeezed him, full of all the happy and friendly emotions he stirred within her.
She was pulling back, watching him, eyes glowing with pleasure as she nodded, pretending to consider it seriously. "Why, yes, I think you've hit him for a six. Those tawny eyes just make me melt and the hair! Why, no one can resist a red head. Mmm. Of course he's talented. And the sexually ravishing? I can't even begin to describe it." She put a hand to her forehead, going limp in his arms again. "He just makes me faint."

Ezieki gave a small laugh, "Am I really that badly not your type then?" He smiled, innocent, he was just playing, and he wasnt overly fussed with it if he wasn't.
"You make a good wherry stew? mmmm. I may have to hold you to that Sassie... It's definitely a weak point of mine." He smiled, twiddling the royal blue feather about his fingers, "I like them... they're pretty, effortlessly so, they don't have to try, they just are," He looked at the short blue feather, twirling it around by twisting the tress of braided hair it was attatched to. His eyes watched it as it moved.
"So, do you want to imprerss a gold? Truly? None of this, 'its every girls dream'-malarkey I want to know your dream." He Pressed her, his eyes searching, he wanted the truth frorm her, he wanted to know whether it was sjust something they would speak about, or whether ri t was something she truly desired. "Would you not prefer to be the first female brown, blue green or bronze rider?" He asked, "Discount your gender, and tell me what you would like." He said, as he let a hand slip back to her waist. He was a tactile person, he couldn't really help it.

She chuckled and poked him in the chest. "Oh, be quiet you. I don't have a type really. As long as they're good-looking and decent, all's well." She nodded, eyes solemn though lips threatened to twist into a smile at any moment. "I'll have to make it for you sometime. And...you're right. Do you think I could pull one off?" She struck a pose and then faded into absolute seriousness, watching him.
She frowned, seeming uncertain, eyes holding his. She leaned forward then, whispering. "I do, Ezi. I want it so badly that I'm so afraid to admit it. I've dreamed of it since I was little. It's there in me, I think I can feel it sometimes. I want to be a rider and as for the Queen...? I can't dare to even dream that high, but I do. But...if I were not that lucky...and if it were even possible...I'd be ecstatic to Impress at all. I would. But gold..." Her hands clenched, eyes blazing with determination. "I feel like it's ingrained in my bones, you know? To be a dragonrider. And dreaming, dreaming for that golden little creature...It'd be the defining moment of my life."

Ezieki smiled gently as ahe listened to her, she'd become definitely serious, and completely truthful before him. Determined and decstatic over the prospect, "Well then I don't see why the golden one will not choose you then, you lack nothing in will, determination, passion or intelligence, in my eyes you'll be a queen rider.
He wove his other hand about her clenched fists, "C'mon, Salina... just keep holding onto the dream so tightly, one day you'll make it a reality, you're just one of those people. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise." His eyes were soft, warm, as was his smile, his tone gentle and inviting, trusting. He smiled, casually looked at the feather in his hair again, back to her. He took obth his hands sfrom her, setting about undoing the ties he had in place, he unclipped the silver ring that bound it, the feather attateched to the inner. The plait it was attatched to began to unwind itself, leaving crinkles in his hair in their wake.
"Here." He smiled, leaned down towards her breast, "Maybe not in your hair, its pretty enough as it is," He carefully attatched the small silver ring, with the royal blue feather on, attatching it to hang in her knot, "now, you are mine," He smirked winking, "i thihnk it adds a certain un-nameable quality to it, besides, it does officially give me ownership." He smiled broadly, a cheeky grin.

She smiled, her eyes just melting, her entire self seeming to glow with the confidence he had in her. She'd always wanted someone like this and now she had them. Her smile was just the tiniest bit quivering as she watched him attach the feather to her knot.
"Ezieki...Thank you." She hugged him tightly, blinking rapidly to clear the moisture that had accumulated in her eyes. When she pulled back, she held his face in her her small hands and gave him a long kiss right on the lips. "You're one of the most beautiful people I know, inside and out." She winked and glanced down at the feather that now belonged to her. She glanced around and then pulled a small bangle off her wrist, slipping it on to his. She was always wearing bracelets and forgetting she had them on. It turned out to be a good thing now.
"There. Now I'm yours and your mine, got that?" She smiled once more, knowing that she'd always love this boy, no matter what. They were best friends already.

Ezieki smiled as sshe did, she was slightly infectious like that, her hands came up to his face, her lips met his, he felt his hands automatically slide about her waist, hold her a little closer. He felt slightly awkward, he felt he shoulddeepen the kiss, make it more passionate, but it didn't feel right to do so, so he let her do as she would.
He let her pull back, ann expression of misplaced amusement on his face, mingled with mild confusion, She slid a banglee from her wrist, onto his, fortunately he had fairly slender hands for a man. 'you're one of the most beautiful people I know, inside and out.' He softed again, resting his head against hers, his hands loosening to a gentle loop about her waist.
"Thanks," He smiled, through some strange happiness, "I think everyone needs to be told that." A wave of self pity hit, but it was quickly flung aside.
He smiled warmly, holding the bangle up to the light, he twisted it and shifted it, looking at the colour, the shape, the make, it wasn't perfect in craft, it gave the piece character, but it was from her, those two things made it utterly perfect.

She watched the silver in the bracelet flash as he viewed it, the scarred blue enamel scratched up a bit and worn through in places. It was dented like most of her bracelets from banging it against something. But it seemed to fit him.
She leaned against him slightly, watching him. She felt like a righteous wherry, but wasn't going to say something quite yet. She felt awkward even thinking about it, it was true, but Ez just seemed like the kind of friend you could kiss and snuggle with as well as spill all your darkest secrets with. She wanted to give him his chance for fun but...It would be awkward wouldn't it.
"Yes, I think so too. But it's so true, Ez, my darling." She smiled, reaching out to untangle the crinkles in his hair the removal of his feather had caused. "Really and truly." She drew pale fingers through his hair.

He smiled, his feelings a little mixed at that moment in time. He felt like on one hand he could just take hers that was slowly undoing the last of the brain in his hair, smoothing it out again from the waves that had formed, pull her close to him and kiss her properly, as he could, and wanted to, but on the other hand he just wanted to reasure her, tell her rit was all okay, that he'd always be there for her.
"I know Salina." He said, dropping her rnickname for a second time, "I know, forget it, I don't do maudling," He smiled warmly, "I think it suits me." He smirked, "A little battered, yet beautiful and full of character." He smirked, lightening the subject once more.

"Yes, just like you." She smiled, reaching out to swing her feather from where it hung. "I don't think the feather suits me though, but it says I'm yours. That's all that matters." She watched him for a while, eyes alight with her humor. After a few moments, however, they dimmed to seriousness as her head tilted.
"It's okay, you know," she said, referring not to bracelet or feather now, but something she sensed they'd both felt after her moment of spontaneity. "You don't have to ask for my permission, Ez, and I won't be mad at you. Promise." Lips curled at the ends into a slight smile though it did not reach those very solemn eyes.

He clasped his hand about hers, about the feather, "It does suit you, its bold and stands against the rest, clear and regal." He smiled, "It might be a little, bit small, but it says exactly what it means." He let his smile broadened into a hearty grin. "And don't wear it just for that reason, you won't wlays be mine now will you?" He smiled, it was a little pained, but it was true. She wouldn't walways be his, he could feel it, she would be some one elses, but he'd still own a small part of her,r not much, but a small part, which made him feel a little better.
He pulled back form her, as though he didn't trust himself, she msiled, but she didn't it wasn't there, itt wasn't through her. "No, its not." He said shaking his head, a gentle, complacent smile, thoughtful in his words, "its not okay is it?" He laughed breathily in ashort burst, "I don't want permission, I don't want you to be mad." He stopped, shook his head, "It's not right... you are, I am, but it's not." he stopped - he felt so odd saying it. "It'd only be right if it was, and its... not." He gave up trying to explain him self, His loquacious temperment lost for an explanation.
"I don't know." He smiled, though it returned to being warm, gentle.

She nodded and smiled. "Oh, but I'll be yours where it matters, trust me. Will I be the same for you? If you met a pretty girl-or boy-," her grin was wicked "will you you remember me?" She felt a slight twinge of pain at the thought of losing him. Here they were, just met, and she was already thinking about losing him. And there was pain.
She touched his cheek lightly, eyes an unfathomable deep as she watched him, silent for a few minutes. "I don't either, love, and if it's right or if it is, isn't it better to know sooner rather than later, so we'd know instead of wondering about it when...well, when things change."
