Town Hall

"Racoons might not need sleep, but big ugly gorillas do" I chuckled and yawned.

Mika smiled and shook her head. She cuddled closer and laid her head on his chest. "I don't see a gorilla anywhere," she smiled "I see...a very handsome young man" she sighed happily and ran a cool finger down his arm.

Goosebumps filled every spot that didn't hold a hair folicule."I've been called everything but handsome" I tried to smile. My heart pounded nervously as she rested her head on my chest. This must be love but it was way to soon to tell, no need to scare her away. For all I knew i was the scape goat, the go to guy, the man that looks like Jarlon. But if that is what she needed-the here I was.

Mika shifted her head up onto her chin so she could look at him. "Really?" she asked "no one has ever told you you were handsome?" she asked in disbelief "not even..your fiance?"

"Oh deffinetly not her" I actually chuckled a bit "That ol hag was nothing but negative...I spose I have been called it before-just not from people that matter...this doesn't help any" I said pointing at my face.

Mika frowned 'that's horrible' she thought. She looked at where he was pointing. She smiled slightly, nothing but love in her eyes. She gently reached up traced the lower part of the scar and then ran her finger back his jawline to his neck. "Add's character" she smiled. She looked around and everyone was sleeping so she shifted up just a bit and gave him a kiss on the lips. "Saron, you are very handsome" she said quietly and slowly to emphasize it.

My eyes watched her as she traced the scar. I brought my hand up and gently laced it with hers from behind. As she shifted up a bit I shifted a bit to and smiled. I kissed her back "Nothing compares to your beauty. Not even the night sky or the face of the rarest flower" What she said made me feel loved and special. All I could do was grin and give her another peck

Mika blushed and looked down. Shaking her head slightly but her brown eyes sparkling. She smiled and laid her head on his shoulder. She snuggled up closer to him and listened to the fire crackling behind them.

I squeezed a little with my arm and yawned again. Closing my eyes enjoying the fire crackling I fell asleep. Throughout the night i had countless bad dreams, it was quickly soothed by a dream and image of mika carring a small bundle. As it ccried my eyes widened and so did the smile. I awoke the next morning with Mika still attached to my side. I grinned and kissed her head and tried to slip out from underneath her.

Mika stirred slightly and her arms tightened around him a bit. She didn't want to let go...

---------Forest------->

Ronan and Malek quietly opened the town hall door and crept in. Everyone was still sleeping. Ronan stopped as soon he saw the big black and white bear and the spirit animal pile. He gently hit Malek in the arm and pointed.

----------------------forest

"Ah ok I understand how that would work. That would be funny to watch though...." He told Ronan as they walked into the hall. The thought of using Saron as Jarlon against the Revenge Riders would be a nice plan, but would they buy it?

I couldn't move so i laid back down but then i heard the guys enter. I smiled and tapped her shoulder to wake her up. "Morning guys" I said as i got up

"It's morning already?!" He asked as Saron greeted them. He looked out the window and saw the sky turn from milky white to an orange glow.

Mika stirred "mhmm morning already?" she sighed. Her stomach flipped 'oh yep morning' she sighed. Her morning sickness had come and gone thankfully not that strong so she had been able to hide it. She yawned and laid back on her back and pulled the blanket closer.

Ronan nodded "ya it would be.." he noticed Saron getting up "Hey" he smiled he looked at the animal pile and again and shook his head. He pointed to Yang. "New guy?" he whispered

"Yes morning already, both of you." I chuckled I then looked at Mika who didn't look like she felt to good "You ok?" I asked and then got up. "How are you this morning Malek?"

"Ya new guy. Yang is his name-from over east" I smiled "And i don't think i've met you"

"Eh I'm....good. I guess." He shrugged, flipping his hands so his palms faced the ceiling.

Mika smiled "Yep I'm ok" she watched until he looked away and then snuggled farther under the blanket so he couldn't see her putting a hand on her stomach to calm it. She closed her eyes and yawned again but listened to the conversation.

"Ah..cool" Ronan said He looked up again. "hmm I guess we haven't offically..I've seen you around though" he smiled "Ronan Dex" he said quietly so as not to wake everyone and offered his hand.

"Saron Vidon" I extended my hand as well. "Pleasure to finally meet the face to the name" I nodded

Ronan smiled and nodded shaking it firmly "And the name to the face" he grinned. "I'm the merchant here...best spices from the middle east and fabrics from the far east" he chuckled. He glanced over and noticed Mika trying to go back to sleep. He looked around for Rhea.

"I'm sure Yang will appreciate that. Any bamboo seeds?" I asked thinking about Yin

"Um...no seed..but I have better..a started plant...but it hasn't been doing the best" Ronan frowned.
