Beach

"That's all I needed to know" He whispered to himself sadly
"Rain? When I got her back home one of the little girls fell in love with her. She wanted her so bad. I couldn't deny the sweet little eyes of her" He said thinking back at his little sister. "Then Trigger was a gift from the tribe leader" He shook his head thinking about his uncle. "How is zip doing? She looks might content."

She smiled.
"It least she has a loving home." She said, puttin the fish on a line.
"Nice and healthy.. Hopeing to breed her with Jar-.. Mikas permission." She winced as she said jarlon/

"That she is" he laughed "Plump and happy." He hesitated...why was he so nervous. "Losing someone like Jarlon isn't easy..Is it?" He fidgeted "Although he is gone he is still here, and so are all your friends to help you through this. Look at me, I came back. I want to be there for you. your friend, when ever you may need me. I won't be leaving again. This is my final location. I was hoping....Sorry nevermind" He kicked the water

She looked him in the eye.
"how could you be so nice to me?" She asked in a husky whisper.
"I.. I hurt you.."

"You hurt me?" He said with big eyes and laughed "If anything I hurt you Tyler. You moved on, Who am I to judge you, to hate you. I have respect for you that goes beyond even my knowledge. I respect you as a person, as a friend" he said chocking down the last word.

She winced.
Turning around, she gutted her fish.

"Tyler?" He asked confused "What did I say wrong? I know I'm good at putting my foot in my mouth you know." He tried to joke

"i dont see how you could be ok with this." she said, trying to perk up.

"Tyler, I never said I'm 'OK' with it. I don't want to lose you as a friend. Frankly i don't want to lose you as my girlfriend. The one I wanted to eventually start a family with. But that is to much I know. I didn't want to say anything. That's something that would happen down the road. But I find you so incredible. Smart, beautiful fascinating....I can keep going if you want...." He said looking over to her and putting a gentle hand on her shoulder. "But...If you being happy means me losing you...then I want nothing more"

she smiled, but a single tear ran down her cheek.
"you truely are amazing Kuruk Flying hawk." She said, embracing him.

A smile burst across his face like a shooting star. He let the tear fall freely as he also wrapped his arms around her. The night before when she didn't hug him back his heart about broke. "Amazing only in your presence" He said with a cheesy tone. He let her go and still facing her finally wiped the trail from the tear off her face. "Are you coming to the pow wow barn fire tonight?"

she smiled.
"I'm hoping to go." she said.
"Its really depends on Se-" She cut herself off.
"Sorry." She said, feeling akward again.

"That's ok. If he has won your heart there is nothing I can do about it. But don't think my heart doesn't want to fight for you" He said with a forced smile as he tapped her nose. "Should you get back to him or would you like to go for a ride, as friends"

She smiled half heartidly.
"How bout we ride" She said with a laugh.

"Perfect" He said and hopped off the dock and offered his hand to help her down. He whistled for Trigger and Zip. Zip just gave him a funny look and trotted over to Tyler "She's one loyal horse" He said. "Good thing to have, will save your life." He then hopped onto Trigger "Where to? should we make our way back to town...or go the OTHER way" He said with a sly smirk

"hmmm.. I dont know." she said with a smile, and quickly kicked Zip into a gallop away from town.
WAter slpashed onto her legs and hips, and she could taste the salt of the sea.

Kuruk turned his horse towards town as Tyler rode the other direction. He laughed as Trigger spun around and cantered through the soft sand beside Tyler. He had a hard time keeping up but he finally did. He looked at her with a twinkle in his eye. "where do you want to go?" He asked to make sure it wasn't anywhere specific

"It really doesnt matter-" she said
'As long as I'm wth you' The thought she had cut off.

(I posted for Rial or Kuruk at ur camp)

He hadn't been around much so he didn't know where anything cool was. he slowed his horse down just a bit. he then gave her a really big mischievous smirk and as he had done many times with enemies he lept off of Trigger and over to Zip where he pulled Tyler off her horse into the water.

Zip starteled, and raced across the water as Tyler flew into the water with a laugh.

Trigger followed zip and then stopped in a trot and nickered at her as he nuzzled her and then turned to Kuruk and Tyler who were laughing in the water. By the time he realized he was on top of her his eyes grew and his large body fell to the side into the water. He then sat up and splashed her "sorry couldn't resist. Had ALWAYS wanted to do that" He said running his hands through the sandy bottom where he felt a few shells

She laughed and dunked him into the water, sitting on his shoulders.

Tyler being a very Petite girl he was able to quickly lift her out of the water with her still on his shoulder. He laughed as he spat out the water and held on to her legs.

Tyler leaned back, threatening to tip him backwards.

"Woah......woah" He said leaning back and forward again and then back again. He took two steps back and found a deeper part of the ocean. He tipped backwards and over corrected falling forward "going down" He said before they hit the water. He came back up and pulled her up "Are you ok?" He laughed as they stood just a foot apart
