Warehouse

--Jarlon's House-->

------------Pastures (cahoon)--------->

Mika led the way to the warehouse. She barely kept herself from getting overrun with memories. All of Vandecar seemed to scream of Jarlon. She sighed and walked up to the warehouse. "Go ahead and look it over" she offered to Rial

Mika looked over at Arya and smiled sadly. "You doing ok?" she asked gently

Arya smirked a bit.
"Yeah. You know me. Um... can I have a word?" she looked into her eyes. "sous quatre yeux? privatly?"

With an aching heart I looked at her..."ok.." she hesitently walked in with Moon close behind. She looked around and a big grin crossed her face. She twirled around for a moment. She looked a the hay pile-someone had slept in it, it could only have been Jarlon, it was one of his favorite places to sleep while working. She looked to the other side where things have obviously been cleaned out. She turned to Mika and smiled. "I think I understand" she said holding her hands in front of her and then leaned her head back to look at the cieling

Ronan walked up and watched but kept a respectful distance.

Mika watched Rial looking around and smiled slightly "good" she said gently. She looked over at Arya. "Of course. I'll be right back guys" she said softly and walked several yards away with Arya. She stayed silent waiting for her to talk

Rial watched as she walked away and sighed. She walked up beside Ronan but was facing the other way than he was. She then turned her head and looked at him and blushed as she turned the other way and then wakled back into the warehouse.

She stood next to ronan, and Kemper stood behind her. There was a tiny Meow, and Noeda poked her head out from behind Kemp. "Hey kitty cat" Tyler said happily.

Arya bit her lip not sure where to start from. She saw pain in Mika's eyes.
"Mika.... I'm leaving. Not now, I do not know myself when. Maybe
tomorrow, maybe after several weeks. I just.... thought you should
know. I couldn't keep that secret anymore." a teardrop rolled down on
her cheek.

Mika listened carefully her eyes darted slightly and she sighed before reaching up and wiping away the tear. She let her hand rest on her shoulder. "Why? Why are you leaving?" Mika asked gently

Ronan watched Rial come and walk up close to him. He blushed slightly and watched her from the corner of his eye. He cocked his jaw to the side slightly as she walked back to the warehouse. He shrugged and followed her. He looked inside the warehouse and whistled. "Wow...did he build this?" he asked

"No" She said with a laugh. "It Was here, bnut we need to fix it up majorly."

She swiftly turned around spinning her hair and skirt. "I don't know....But I can see what he wants to do" she smiled and then leaned against one of the pillars with her hands behind her. she pushed herself off and walked to the barrels and opened them. "Did you know him?" she asked looking at the corn in the barrel

(no the warehouse is alraedy fixed-it looks great-he was just going to add stalls lol)

She watched as ronan Followed her. Maybe she was the one for him. Rial and Ronan looked good together. She smiled. Maybe they would find the happyness that she had with kuruk.

Ronan watched Rial gracefully move around. She was beautiful. But no...he liked Rhea. Poor Rhea had been left in the dust so many times. He couldn't do it to her as well. Instead he smiled at Rial but didn't do anything else. "Hmm briefly. He came into my shop once and one time I came over to check out the trading possiblites."

Arya shook her head.
"Before my dad died, I promised him I'd never tell anybody. Now's time to brake that promise.
Before dad met my mum, he was a chief of a thieves band. They robbed
passing carts. Once people got killed. My dad tried to stop his mates,
but they didn't listen. Other were caught and they were locked up, but
my dad escaped with all the money they had got. It was pretty much.
Anyways, then he met my mum, they fell in love and since my dad didn't
do anything bad. He regret he had ever been a member of thieves band.
But he couldn't erase the past. About seven years ago, we heard dad's
mates had escaped. Dad was afraid, he knew they'd come to kill him. And
they did. My dad, mum and little sister were killed. Only I got away
alive."

She breathed deeply and stared at her toes.

"I knew they would come for me too. I am between them and huge
treasure. They haunted me from the Border land to here. Since last year
I didn't hear anything of them. I thought I was safe. But when I was on
my trip, I heard they have been seen close here. They know I am here.
If I stay, you all would be in danger."

She sighted and looked in mika's eyes.

"I'm sorry, Mika."

"What was he like?" She asked as she closed the barrel and looked up with her baby blues. Her soft pink lips moved gracefully with every word.

She watched with a smile as Rial Flirted shamlessly with Ronan. But alas, she knew he was in love with Rhea.

Mika's eyes saddened as she listened. "I respect your decision but can I tell you something and you can take it how you want. My only request is that you do not tell the others." She took a deep breath. "When I first came from the new world I was..shanghaied in a way to be a plant/spy for a very evil man." she looked up bravely "he sent me here to find three people. Sloan, Jarlon, and Danielle. I tracked them because if I didn't I was dead and I didn't know any better. I followed them here. I didn't know who they were, I had never seen them before. You can imagine my surprise when I discovered that Jarlon was the assassin I was sent to find." She took a deep breath and continued. "When I went out on the range lands the first time to scout the herds, they found me again. I lied and said that I had not seen any of the targets. I had hoped they would just leave us be for awhile, giving me time. When I came back Jarlon noticed something was wrong. You know how he was..I just couldn't keep him in the dark. I told him everything...I even asked him to kill me because of the danger I was to him and my new friends. But he wouldn't do it...he told me...no matter what happens, they will come anyway, we have a better chance of defeating them together as a village then separated. Those were wise words. As I said I only ask you not to tell the others this because of the division it might cause in the village and because that part of me has been disguarded and is no longer a threat." she said softly. She hung her head slightly and sighed

Ronan blushed slighlty again. "Um kind, fair, more patient than I would have expected, good looking" he shrugged "a hard worker and good leader" he finished trying to keep himself from getting mesmerized by her voice and the look of the softness of her lips.

Her eyes sparkled at the words he was saying. Her big brother, a loved person among not only his people but those around him. "what do you mean by more patient then you would have expected?" She cocked her head a little and then had to giggle at the fact that he thought he was handsome. "I'm glad to hear that"

Ronan laughed nervously, he scratched the back of his neck. "um, well he had a guy in his village the didn't listen to orders. Jarlon finally had to knock him out and tie him to a tree once" he chuckled. "And well I didn't mean I...I..I meant the girls thought he was handsome" he laughed. "Please excuse me as I extract my foot from my mouth" he chuckled.

Rial closed her eyes and laughed, she put a hand to her mouth as she did so. Her teenage side still prevalent. "I can totally see that, he used to tie Soran up all the time when he misbehaved." She then looked over to where Mika was and saw that she had her hand on Arya's shoulder. She shifted her gaze to her feet where Moon was looking up at her. ~What?~ she asked
~oh nothing~ he said with a child like voice
~oh really,nothing~ she put a hand on her hip
~yup...nothing~ he looked away and waddled off
