A Little Drop of Ink

@ Mother.Of.Dragons
Will followed her lead and tried to advert his eves as she reached for a box. He looked up as she asked him to choose. He smiled and picked out some kind of coffee that looked relatively normal. "Thanks." He said as she got started on that. "I like what you did with the place. It is really inviting and calming..." he chuckled. "I guess that really helps with the leaders. Will said and smirked as he turned back toward her. How had he managed to get invited in? Maybe she was just that nice or maybe she noticed him like he noticed her. He doubted it. She was way out of his league.

Celia smiled and listened to them watching their little family. It was sweet really the relarionship between all of them. She wondered if this was a common thing in his tribe. Her tribe where very solo people that isually lived alone or with their partner and older children. Once a child was able to walk effectively they where returned to their parents but otherwise he caretakers like her took care of them. Normally they would also try and have potty training done by the time the chold was returned. But sometimes that didn't always work out. Celia chuckled softly at the conversation they where having around her as she listened. They where an odd but ammusing family unit.

RoseMarie looked at him a bit curiously before moving back to the coffee that she was making for him. For herself she was making Hot Chocolate. She was not a large fan of coffee unless she was exhausted. Normally she went for tea but it was a Hot Chocolate sort of day. "That is what I tried to do, so I am glad to hear that you say that. It is helpful to deal with calm leaders than those who are stressed or if their emotions are swinging one way." Then she turned back to him, setting his coffee down in front of him as she leaned against the counter a bit. "Though enough about work. Tell me about yourself. What sort of things do you like to do?"

---

Peter was somewhat ignoring the conversations around him, allowing the others to talk in morse code about what had happened. It wasn't enough for Celia to figure out what was going on but it was clearly the topic of the day. Instead the man in the middle of it all had his eyes on Celia. She seemed to be a quiet little thing but he was going to quickly change that. Suddenly Peter slammed his glass against the table, creating a loud thud, causing his plate to jump up a bit, the table to shake and for everyone to stop and look at him. "Wait! No more talking about this nonsense. We have a guest!" He slurred. "Celia! Tells us about you. What tribe do you come from?"

@ Mother.Of.Dragons
[Sorry rough week]
Will looked at her confusdd a little. He normally didn't have to many people asking what kind of things he liked to do. Will had to stop and think about it a little while. He ran a hand hrough his hair. "Uhh this is probaby going to come out stupid but I like art." He said and shrugged. He was actually pretty good in his opinion. But if he was good he council would hqve given him art as a job. Will looked back at her. "What about you? What do you like to do?"

Celia blushed after jumping at his loud voice. She ran a hand through her hair and smiled. "Umm I am from the East." She said and shrugged not knowing what to really say about herself. "We are a quite tribe often we are not perceived that way buy honestly we are kind but quite." Celia shrugged and hugged her waist. "What about you Peter? Tell me about you." She said softly.

@ Jinxling
(Yeah I definitely understand that.)

RoseMarie let out a small laugh before smiling at him. It seemed that Peter was a little frazzled about all of this. "You already asked me that." She told him, an amused smile on her lips. She took another sip of her Hot Chocolate before continuing on. "But if you like art I may have something that you will enjoy." RoseMarie moved out of the kitchen and went into the dinning room. There, on the wall behind the head chair was an absolutely amazing painting of a man and a woman in the woods. "It was painted by one of the new up and coming artists."

---

"No no no." Peter said as he waved his hand off to the side. "Let's not talk about me. Besides anything that I say now will just come out wrong." He grumbled before pushing his hair back. "I will be for another day." Peter rubbed his face before continuing. "Tell me more about you. What do you like to do? What do you do at your tribe? What's your life like? What do you like to watch?" Peter was obviously going to keep going but was stopped by one of his friends who suddenly covered his mouth with their hand.

@ Mother.Of.Dragons
Will chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck. "Right." he said and turned following her as she showed him the painting. "Wow." he said standing there looking at it. The painting was beautiful and captured so much energy. He could never really paint something like that from his imagination but maybe he could paint a person. Mostly he drew and if he did paint it was abstract.

---

Celia blushed. It sounded like he was planning on seeing her again. She bit her lip and smiled at him softly. "Uhh well..." she looked around not really wanting to talk about her especially in front of all these people that she didn't know. "Our tribe doesn't really allow for extra time to umm as you put it watch many things but if I do I go to the live theater and watch what ever is being preformed. I like that and I like to read. I uhh am the caretaker for the young. I watch over the children until they are old enough, or trained enough to return home. Well rather I will be soon. The head caretaker is retiring and going to be taken to the home for the old. I don't really get out much so I don't know if your tribe is any different but it makes the most sense to do it how my tribe does..." Celia watched as everyone stared at her in horror and she blushed. "Well I should go." she said and stood. "Thank you for having me." she said ran a nervous hand through her hair now realizing why the council had warned her that other tribes would not understand.

@ Jinxling

RoseMarie took a small step back, allowing him to soak in the beauty of the piece. Once she was sure that he had truly appreciated the artwork, a hand was laid on his arm. "I just thought you would find beauty in it." She told him, a small smile coming across. Then she pulled away her hand slowly, her fingertips brushing lightly against his skin. "As much as I am enjoying your company I do feel the need to speak up about the snow." Her whole body turned so she was looking out of the large windows in the dinning room. The weather had gotten much worse from when Will came in. If he waited much longer he would surely go out in a blizzard. "I wouldn't want you to go out if it gets worse. Though even now you would be safer getting a cab back then walking."

---

Peter was the only one not giving Celia a look of horror. Though whether he did not because he understood or because he was too drunk to be surprise was yet to be determined. When Celia spoke of leaving Peter got onto his feet, wanting to escort her to the door. "Your cab will probably be here in a few minutes anyways. Come on you can go get your things on and we will wait for the cab together." Before Celia had time to argue Peter was already heading towards the door. When he got there, he looked outside to see the cab was actually coming down the street. "It was lovely to meet you miss. We will meet again." He gave her a sloppy smile.

@ Mother.Of.Dragons
Will smiled as she came back. "I did enjoy the panting thank you." he said and smiled. Once she talked about the snow he sighed. "Yeah unfortunately the cab stopped working earlier today. Some mechanical thing." he said and finished his coffee. "Thank you for the coffee." he said and set the mug in her sink headed toward his coat. He slipped it on and sighed realizing he had to walk nearly all the way back to the other side of the town. He ran a hand through his hair and pulled on his cap. "It was nice to meet you RoseMarie. I look forward to seeing you again soon." he said and continued to bundle up.

Celia smiled as Peter offered to see her out. She got her things on. She was actually kind of surprised that there was a cab driver willing to drive her to another district. She hoped the man would drive her into her district. Even if he took her to the end of this district it was still a long walk back to her place. "It was really nice to meet you to Peter." she said and turned to him her hands resting on his shoulders as she moved up and kissed his cheek. She smiled and slipped out the door not wanting to make a scene. Her tribe despite how savage they could seem where very kind loving and peaceful but they where also very individual people and having strong bonds where not looked well upon. It was hard to explain to other tribal people. Celia slipped into the cab and told him where she would like to go but also told the cab man that even out to the dividing line would be fine. She wouldn't expect a cab man to be understanding.

@ Jinxling

RoseMarie followed him to the door, still holding onto her cup of Hot Chocolate. She gave him a warm smile, her eyes looked gently into his. "And I you. I am sure that we will bump into each other again." Once Will was all bundled up, she took the scarf that he had let her borrow and wrapped it around his face, covering his mouth and nose. It now had her scent on it, a sweet smell of coconut among other things. "Thank you for walking me home. Now make sure that you get back before it gets really terrible out there."

---

Peter waited until the cab had driven down the street before turning and heading back to the dinning room. His smile was still across his face. Celia was a rather sweet girl. And ah what an interesting name...Celia. When he sat back down at the table everyone was quiet for a moment. Though it wasn't long until they were all opening their mouths, all of them ready to start talking about what Peter had done. Yet it did not take long until they realized that they should wait for the idiot to sober up. So after food was eaten and a bit of TV was watched they shoved Peter into bed with the threat of a real conversation tomorrow.

@ Mother.Of.Dragons
Will nodded and smiled. He headed out into he cold smiling as he sent of a beautiful woman kept him warm through the cold of the wind. He walked back to his place fi di g himself soaking wet when he got through the door of his house. He stripped off and showered cleaning his cloths. Will slipped out of his bathroom as he finished and dressed for bed. He set his alarm and slipped under the covers. He stretched smiling as he thought about RoseMarie. He closed his eyes and was soon asleep.

Celia ended up walking through her tribe getting to her place and slipping in seeing the time and sighed. It was late and she still hadn't gotten any rest. She stripped off and slipped into bed hoping to catch some sleep before her alarm went off. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep. She slept until her alarm went off ordering for her to awake. She sighed and got up to get ready. She hoped that she would be functionable with her lack of sleep. Today was an important day.

@ Jinxling
RoseMarie let out a small sigh once she finally closed the door. She leaned against the wall for a moment, laying her head back before pushing herself away. It was exhausting being such a sweet little thing to everyone that she met. Really she could not be herself in order to keep images up. RoseMarie was meant to be pretty, sweet and caring. Though a lot of the time all she wanted to do was punch them flat in the face. After rubbing her head RoseMarie headed up to the hidden basement where she had her punching bag. After that she went to bed.

---

Peter was rudely woken up in the morning and soon after he was yelled at. Though luckily for him it did not last long. They all slightly at least disagreed with his decision to not take the role as leader. Peter would have been a good leader. So the fact that he turned it down was upsetting to his roommates and to the current leader. Though he was not ready to give up and getting Peter to take the position. It was probably just going to take longer than he wanted.

@ Mother.Of.Dragons
Will smiled as he woke in the morning. He walked out of his house in the morning holding onto a hot cup of liquid. He smiled as he looked at the snow covered streets. Will was thinking of RoseMarie. There was something about her that didn't fit her sweet "nature". He wondered what it was about her that was so different.

---

Celia walked into the nursing house and she checked in before making her way to the delivery room. She would be with this generation until they where ready to return to their homes and any children remaining would be sent to the appropriate department. Celia smiled as she picked up a chart. "Wonderful." she said to her nurse as she handed the chart to her walking into a room with a huffing woman her partner holding her hand. "Good morning Ms. Catherine." she said and began her check up. "Oh good It is just about time." she said and smiled. "Now relax Ms. Catherine."

@ Jinxling
RoseMarie leaned over her kitchen counter, looking down at her computer. She had to get some work done before more leaders came tomorrow. Once again she would be in charge of them and she had to learn some of their traditions so that they felt more at home. Plus she had to get some of the information that they would need for their meeting with the alpha and send the alpha information. In general there was just a lot of work to do.

Just as she was taking a sip of her tea the lights went out. A startled RoseMarie jumped a bit in her seat, causing her to spill hot coffee over her front. A deep growl emerged from her chest and without thinking about it she chucked her coffee cup onto the floor, causing liquid and small glass pieces to fly everywhere. No she was not very good at controlling her anger when she was finally alone.

Without even a thought of it she pulled out her phone and called one of the pack's little helpers. RoseMarie put her sweet little voice on, asking the lady to please send someone to her home to fix the electricity.

---

After talking to his roommates a bit more Peter headed out of the door to his current job. He was meant to help their leader with whatever he wanted. Peter was his right hand man- which was probably why a lot of people assumed that he would just take over. Though still after seeing everything Peter seemed to have no interest.

When he walked into the building he went straight to his office. After closing the door behind him, he moved to his chair and slid in a bit. There was a lot of work that he had to do but for the the first few minutes he just leaned back to relax while he could.

Somewhere later in the morning the alpha, Victor, came in, speaking to Peter about a few things. Apparently they were going to take a small trip that afternoon to learn a bit about the customs of a neighboring tribe. They tended to be a bit odd- or at least different from them. So they were hoping that this would improve their relationship to learn more about the other.

@ Mother.Of.Dragons
Will walked back into his house just in time to hear his phone go off. He groaned and picked it up but soon that frowned turned into a grin when he head what house it was. "Got it." he said and picked up his bag and called the company vehicle. They weren't a very high tech society but they did have some privileges.

He got down to the house and pulled his tools out of the car. He watched it drive away slowly and he moved over to the door and knocked. When RoseMarie opened the door he smiled. "Hey I heard the power was out. Sorry it took me so long." he said and came in. He headed toward the power. "So what happened before it went dark? Did the lights flicker or anything like tat?" he asked as he opened up the panel and set up his lantern.

Will was actually really glad to be back already. "So what happened to the floor?" he asked. He had walked by what seemed to be a bump and a pretty good cut in the floor. He could take care of that too.

---

Celia was holding the baby after the last goodbye from the parents. She rocked the child as her nurse came in telling her about the visit. She sighed knowing it wasn't going to go well. Other tribes never understood their methods. But the first years where many of the most important. The parents received training plus mothers got the rest their bodies needed without neglecting their children or putting pressure on the marriage by making the man take care of the child. There was plenty of visits and contact to form a strong bond between the child and the parents. It was a smart system.

Celia stood and handed the nurse the child. "Give Amber here some breakfast and affection." she said and smiled before leaving the room to go and great their guests. She walked up to the counter. "Good morning." Celia greeted but stopped in her tracts as Peter turned around. She looked at him her eyes full of confusion. Celia blinked and turned as the nurse called for her. "We have another going into labor Ms. Phoenix." she said. Celia looked back at everyone. "Awe let me go check on this patient and I will be right with you. "Ms. Blantcher please show them to the nursery and explain the goodbye ceremony please." she said and turned.

Celia came back half an hour later and smiled carrying a new baby. "That was a easy process." she smiled and walked to an empty crib filling out the birthing information and then turning again to the group and Peter. "Alright are we ready for the tour?" she asked and smiled trying to avoid looking at Peter. She bit her lip wishing he wasn't here. He wouldn't understand.

They where walking down the hall and the nurse was talking to the group about the reunion ceremony as the tour came to an end. Celia hung back behind everyone rubbing the back of her neck. It was hard to ignore Peter.

@ Jinxling

RoseMarie had managed to clean up her coffee mess and change before Will showed up. She had forced herself to calm down and get her public face on before the man got here. Though when she opened up the door she couldn't help but be surprised. Of course she should have remembered that Will was in charge of such things but she had other things on her mind right now. Honestly she was pissed that this was cutting into her work time. All she had wanted to do was get her work done early today so she could actually relax but instead she was dealing with this shit.

Still RoseMarie gave him a little smile when he came into the house and closed the door behind them. "No the lights did not flicker or anything." She said as she held onto the edges of her cardigan and wrapped it around herself more so. "I was just working and then suddenly everything went out. Since I do not know much about electricity I called right away." RoseMarie followed him through the house and to the light source.

At the mention of the floor she let out a small sigh. "Oh that was my fault." She said, a little dismal on the subject. "I was concentrating so hard on work that went everything shut off it startled me. I slipped coffee on myself and I involuntarily dropped my mug onto the floor.

---

Peter was silent for most of the tour, following the guide closely and listening to what she had to say. Indeed this was very odd to him but he who was he to say if what they were doing was right or wrong. And besides even if he had an opinion on this he was not going to say it in front of Celia. After yesterday he had enough respect for her not to insult her traditions. Besides all in all he really had not problem with it. He just thought that it was odd.

At the end of the tour the lady asked if they had any questions about how they dealt and raised the children that were brought into their care. Peter was quiet for a moment before suddenly turning around and facing Celia. Throughout the whole tour he had avoided making any unnecessary eye contact. He had been doing his job this whole time but now his mind was quickly moving onto other things now that he had gotten the information that he wanted. But first he had a question that he wanted to ask her.

"Miss." Peter said, pausing for a moment before continuing on. "What does this process of handling newborns mean to you? What value does it bring to your tribe that other tribes who do not do this are not receiving?" He knew that this was probably important to Celia. After all she was working there and hopefully she had some sort of pride in her job. Overall she was just curious about her feelings on this while still making it seem to his alpha that he was actually getting work done.

@ Mother.Of.Dragons
Will smiled and nodded. "No worries. I can fix it up no problem." he said and with in ten minutes he had the heater and a few lights on. He switched out a breaker and everything came on again. "Bingo." he said and grinned turning. "Well now let me take a look at that floor." he said. He moved over to the floor and pulled out some things starting on it. "The cold and the snow must have freezed the protective covering and as a safety measure everything shut down. I will fix that before I leave as well." he reassured her. He noticed despite her pleasant appearance her aura seemed discontent even frustrated.

"So how was your night RoseMarie?" he asked making casual talk as he waited for the wood filler to dry so he could sand it and stain the wood. Will was glad to see her again but she seemed really upset and there was nothing he could do but fix her house.

---

Celia looked up as Peter talked to her. She blushed at such a wonderful question with real curiosity. She had never had someone see her work and still want to know what it meant to her. "It is an honor. The first years of a child's life is vital and can influence their psychological state for the rest of their lives. It is rewarding to see the babies visit with their parents and be told the tremendous growth in the child and also in the relationship of the parents and the child. I take pride in knowing that what we do here influences the future of not only the tribe but also these beautiful babies. They will be well equipped to handle anything they have to as adults because of the stable upbringing they received." Celia smiled feeling passionate about the care they gave the newborns and all their children.

"As for what I think that the Tribe gains from such up brining... well it is more complicated but as I mentioned slightly they will become stable well equipped adults that will bring joy and efficiency to the tribe. I am sure there are many things that I do not even realize that the tribe gains but I know despite the seemingly odd process there is no lack here for love and pride in our youth. We just want to set them and their families up for the best chance at success that we possibly can. I assume that is why the tribe is one of the leading tribes." she said and blushed again and looked back at her nurse. "Do you agree?" she asked. The nurse looked sick with the attention that turned to her. "Uhh yes yes Dr. Phoenix."

@ Jinxling

RoseMarie leaned back into the wall as she watched Will fix her house. Now that the electricity was back on she could techincally go back to work. However it did not really seem like the case for her. While someone was in her home, whether they were a guest or working on something RoseMarie had to basically play hostess. Her job required it and really it was much better than showing her true self. "I slept fine last night. How about you?" She asked him with a warm tone of voice.

Though what she did not realize was that Will was on to her false act. If she had known RoseMarie would have been shocked and she would have been more careful the way she acted around him and where she ran into him. So far no on except her parents and the alpha had caught onto her little ruse. Most truly believed that it was her personality, that the way she acted was who she really was. Sweet, Sexy and Smart. The three ways to get to someone's heart.

"Would you like anything to drink?" RoseMarie asked him, deciding that it would at least be polite to offer him a beverage while he was working.

---

Peter gave her a smile after she had answered the question. It was a rather good answer and he was more than impressed with it. All he could do was give her a small nod. "Thank you Dr. Phoenix." He said before he pulled out a card from his pocket. It was a business card, with his full name and number on it. "If you ever have anything you want to add about our trip here or any other questions do not be afraid to call." He handed her the car, still smiling before turning back to his boss. "Until we meet again Miss."

Peter and his tribe leader then headed out of the building. He was rather pleased that he had been able to see Celia again. Even more so that he had been in the right of mind to give her his number. Hopefully she would call. Though even if she did not he still had something in mind that would give them the chance to meet. Also it would help a lot with his work actually if he were to go through with it. Ah it had been such a productive day.

@ Mother.Of.Dragons
Will smiled as she talked. She really did have a beautiful voice. "Oh the same as nearly every night." He said with a shrug. He looked up at her. "Iam sure you have better things to do than stand there watching me." He said with a wink and chuckled. "A water would be nice." He picked out a stain making sure it was the right one pulled out his sander and hand broom. Peter wondered who was behond that mask. It was a good mask and if he hadn't grown up in a home with a cop he probably never would have seen the inconsistentcies. But as headof the building department it was his job to notice and to care.

When she came back with his water he smiled. "Thank you RoseMarie." He said and started to sand. "So has anyone ever just called you Rose?" He asked as he moved his well toned and defined muscles working in a beautiful display. He didn't really seem to notice his charm.

---

Celia smiked. She blushed as he handed her his card. She nodded and bit her lip. She would never be able to call him now unless it was strictly buissness. He gave his number to her here like this. It was almost like baking cookies and not being able to eat them only stare at them all day. Celia stood as she watched the group leave and she bit her lip. There was just something about him that made her want to know more. He left a lasting impression on her that kept her thinking of him throughout her day and even that morning he had popped to mind.

Celia seemed to float through her day until her nurse stopped her with friendly banter. "So when are you going to call mr hot stuff?" She grilled Celia making her turn a deep red. "Ms. Creek!" She giggled and shook her head. "What he had eyes for you, dispite the way he tried to keep them off you." Celia blushed and shook her head. "We are strictly buissness. Trust me." She said and sadly she thought she beleived it dispite her thoughts of him. The truth was that he was strange, different and more exciting than anyone she had ever lnown or would meet in this tribe. But it was normally unheard of to marry into another tribe it was ussually a birthright. It wasn't illegal or anyhing it had just never been done and maybe that was because the elders still frowned upon intertribal dating.

@ Jinxling
(I replied to this but apparently it did not post. >.<)

RoseMarie headed farther into the kitchen, getting Will a cool glass of water. She at least wanted to do that for him since he was fixing her house. It may be his job but it didn't stop the fact that he was also being nice to her while he did it. She placed the glass in front of him before leaning back once gain. Though she did not comment to him pointing out the obvious. Of course she had better things to do than to to stand there and watch him fix her floor. Basically everyone had better things to do but that did not change the fact that he was a guest in her house and she had expectations to meet.

"No one just calls me Rose." RoseMarie told him after a few moment. She knew no one had called her that but she had stopped to think about whether she minded him calling her that. In the end she decided it might be a bit nice to have a nickname for once. "You could call me Rose if you want to. I rather like it."

---

Peter had no idea if Celia was going to call him or not but he was not going to wait around for her call. There was no way of knowing if she was the type of girl that would call. Though he had a plan that would allow him to have more time with her and get his work done. By the end of that time if Celia truly was not interested in even being his friend then he would leave her alone. But for now he did not know how she felt so he was going to take this chance.

After a few hours of working he headed to his boss' office. An hour or so later he walked out of there with a huge smile on his face. He had convinced the boss that the best way to learn more about the other pack was to learn about them from them. And not from people who were in charge of hosting other packs but truly from the people themselves. Peter had even gotten him to agree that Celia would be a perfect person to talk to for about a week or so.

@ Mother.Of.Dragons
(Uhh I hate that)

Will smiled. "Alright then Rose." He said and smiled up at her before taking a long drink of the water she brought him. "Nearly done here. While I am here is there anything else that I can fix for you?" Will asked as he looked up at her. She was so very beautiful but her eyes seemed sad and he wondered why. She put up a really good show that everything was fine and she could take care of it but he wondered who she turned to when she felt weak. Everyone felt weak once in a while it is part of becoming strong. Will shook his head as his mind started to drift.

Once he finished he floor he stood and finished his water. He put a temperary mechanism over the wet spot. "You can take that off in three hours and no one will no the difference." He smiled knowing he had done a damn good job. Will loooked back at Rose. "So..." he trailed off not really knowing what to say but wishing to extend his time with her. It was a strange feeling really.

---

Celia was finishing up work for the night in a steady and caring way. All of the children born in the same month would move forward together and so on for the next 11 months. She would be in charge of the entire year of chilren making sure they progressed on time. Celia rocked a child to sleep and laid her in her crib with a sweet kiss. She stood and moved to her chart writing everything down before headed to the night nurse and her college Dr. Andrews. She talked to the nurse first then looked up at Dr. Andrews.

"Good Evening Mr. Andrews..." Celia started before he interupted her. "Celia how many times do I have to tell you to call me Steve?" He asked leaning a little to close. Celia gulped slightly and bit he inside of her cheek. "The infants are all progressing on scedual but please make sure to chart their night habits in explicit detail." She said and he shrugged. "You're new at this Celia so I will let you in on a little secerate. If the babies prigress or not doesn't really matter because there is nothing you can do to change that. All that can be done is to give them the best care. Dispite what you think there is no special treatment for any one child, there just isn't time for it." He said. Celia shook her head. "Thank you for your opiniom Dr. Andrews. Please have a pleasent night." She said not wanting to wait until he would be taking care of next years children. He had just been taken off official leave after sobbering up but she was still concered about him.

Celia left he building frazeled and wanting to hit something. She headed straight towards her house. She was glad in a way that it was a bit of a walk. Honestly she wanted to run it but she didn't want to run into someone again in her anger.

@ Jinxling

RoseMarie glanced down at her floor, thankful that he had fixed it for her. Now that was something he didn't have to do-or even notice really. Though it would probably save her the trouble from having to explain if anyone else ever asked. "Thank you Will." She said as she looked back up at him, giving him a soft smile. "And no I do not believe that there is anything else that needs to be fixed. Though of course if something happens I will just give you a call." At this point she was just going to wait for him to respond. There was nothing else to be done. Yet it seemed that Will was hesitant to just go. Perhaps he wanted to spend more time here? Well she did not know but it was a possibility.

RoseMarie pushed herself away from the wall a bit, now standing straight. She pushed her hair back slightly, her three little hearts becoming revealed. They were laying on her neck, right under her jawline. All three hearts were changing their colors rapidly. Though of course what that meant was hard to say. Everyone's colors could mean a completely different thing. The only way to know for certain was to know that person well.

---

Peter got back to his house a bit later than usual. His plans for tomorrow took a bit longer than he had expected but that was alright. When he got back he preheated some of the dinner in the microwave before heading off to sleep. Now he was ready for it to be the next day. Peter was actually rather excited about seeing Celia again...Well that is if she agreed to what he had planed. He hoped that she would.

The next day Peter called the leader of the other tribe, asking him if it would be alright to take four of his tribe members a litle each day and learn about the tribe through them. After a long conversation the leader finally agreed and gave hi the numbers of the four people he wanted. After that Peter grinned and called Celia.
