Rhea's house

Rhea sat up and smiled at Danielle,
"Am now," Rhea grinned, "How are you?"

"I'm fine, did I wake you up?" she asked, seeing her on the bed, "Sorry!"

..............outside

I slowly opened the door as Imatari slipped in infront of me. I peaked in behind her and put my hood down which was wet from the sprinkles that were beginning to fall. I was glad to be home....home...wow never thought i'd think that of anywhere again. With a twinkle in my eye and a grin on my face I closed the door behind me.

Danielle heard the door close and she turned. "Jarlon! Welcome back!" she said and smiled at him, turning so he wouldn't see the bandages on the back of her neck.

I saw a quick glimpse of white but I dismissed it quickly when her smile flickered at me. Her white teeth shown at me and I was really happy I was back home. "Hey girls" I said as I plopped my bag down and walked to where my bed roll had been. I pulled off my white cloak and shirtless I walked back over to the girls with material in arm. I sat down cross legged and laid down the material infront of me.

She sat across from and sighed, but still smiling, "Do you ever put on a shirt?" she asked, a hint of playful exasperation in her voice. "How was getting 'resources'?"

"You know, I enjoy running around half naked." I grinned "Makes me feel free" About the only time I do I muttered under my breath. "If it makes you feel uncomfortable I can most certainly put a shirt on" I said as I began to get up.

Danielle put out a hand to stop him, "No it's fine, just teasing. " she cursed under her breath as the action opened up the scars a little more.

As she touched me I felt something, a pain, surge through me. I squinted one eye shut a little "you ok?" I asked quickly as her pain traveled through me. I settled back into my spot

"What? Oh, yeah I'm fine." she replied, a little surprised that he'd noticed. She shifted more gently and the scars cooperated for the first time, staying closed.

I smiled and just nodded, best thing to do with women I knew that. I leaned back on one elbow and shifted onto my side a little and bent one leg and had my knee up just enjoying the company and the rain hitting the roof softly.

"The rain will help the crops, they've been growing nicely. " she said and then remembered the barrels, "Oh, we didn't finish all the barrels, sorry about that I..." she trailed off, twitching nervously again.

"Oh I know. I couldn't ask for anything better that's for sure" I agreed. "Oh wonderful" I sat back up "That's good to hear. I'll check on the harvest first thing tomorrow. I also brought some fabrics. I'd like to use them for our beds and what not when we get to that point. Maybe even some clothes" I smiled

She smiled back, the little village was progressing nicely, "Heh, don't expect me to sew, 'cause I can't for the life of me."

"Really," I looked at her surprised "Well I spose you pretty much raised by my uncle...he was never for the feminine stuff" I laughed "I raised my siblings so I had to learn to do a lot of variety things...That's wierd huh"

Rhea popped out of the other room and smiled at Jarlon, Running and hugging him,
"You're Back!" She cried out and then laughed, "I took my time waking up fully,"

I saw as Rhea's sweet face came running at me "Hey!" I laughed as she threw her arms around me almost knocking me off balance.

Rhea smiled at Jarlon happily,
"I missed most of your conversation...What's the material for?"

"Oh no big deal....I would like to save it for when we each have our houses finished and we can make sheets out of it for our beds and maybe some clothes...what do you think?" I looked at her sweetly

"Yeah, I've never really had any woman raising me, just my uncle and yours." she replied, "Do you know how to sew?" she asked smiling and raising an eyebrow.

I blushed and cleared my throat "ERmmmm.....no.....well ok maybe a little"

Rhea laughed, "I have some clue of how to sew...but not anything special,"

"Well if you want go ahead and choose 2 pieces of fabric. the rest i'd like to save!"

Rhea grinned and wandered over to the pile, picking 2 pieces and fabric and placing them aside from the pile.
"Gosh, You must be super tired," Rhea sighed, "Right?"

I watched as her eyes brightened as she sorted through the pile. I watched her intently. "Do what?" I looked up at her. "Oh ya a little, more sore than anything though" I commented
