Idran1701 (5:47:21 PM): Hey, Shaun.
CGNakibe (5:49:21 PM): Yo Idran.
CGNakibe (5:49:26 PM): What's up?
Idran1701 (5:50:18 PM): Not much. You?
CGNakibe (5:50:27 PM): Nothing much here either.
Idran1701 (5:51:23 PM): *nod* Busy tonight? If not, I'm free for picking up the Planescape deal.
CGNakibe (5:51:51 PM): Not busy tonight, no.
Idran1701 (5:52:09 PM): *nod* When'd you be free for that?
CGNakibe (5:52:22 PM): Free now, actually.
Idran1701 (5:53:31 PM): Nifty. Well, I'm good for it myself.
Idran1701 (5:54:37 PM): Want me to go ahead and set things up? :O
CGNakibe (5:55:26 PM): Yep.
CGNakibe (5:55:34 PM): It was time for dinner!
Idran1701 (5:55:56 PM): Post-dinner, actually; was timeskipping the meal itself. :O
CGNakibe (5:56:12 PM): Awww. So much missed snark. ._.
Idran1701 (5:56:49 PM): There is much more opportunity for that tonight, though. :D
Idran1701 (5:57:17 PM): <RESUMPTION>
CGNakibe (5:57:24 PM): <CONSUMPTION?>
Idran1701 (5:58:58 PM): *Dinner's passed! The food's all right, if perhaps a little bland compared to what Arian may have been used to back home. Conversation went well enough; outloud, at least. After the meal's done, Karinska invites Arian on a walk around the woodlands surrounding the village.*
CGNakibe (5:59:29 PM): *lalala... this would be a nice walk... but all this NATURE. e.e*
Idran1701 (6:01:14 PM): *looking around, smiling* It's wonderful here, isn't it? It's just how I remember it when I was young.
CGNakibe (6:01:43 PM): Its certainly.... interesting. IM: And so many bugs.
Idran1701 (6:02:54 PM): *gives him a short glance, but goes back to looking around them* Even some of these trees are familiar. *laughs*
Idran1701 (6:03:25 PM): I remember laying out here for hours at a time under the sun sometimes.
CGNakibe (6:03:49 PM): *chuckles... kind of false-sounding* Certainly its got its... quaint charm...
Idran1701 (6:04:48 PM): ...Quaint charm?
CGNakibe (6:06:15 PM): ... well, I mean, its certainly got its good points... >.>;
Idran1701 (6:08:26 PM): ...*Karinska stays quiet for now, taking a seat at the bank of a nearby stream, watching the water flow through the bed*
Idran1701 (6:09:46 PM): The sound's soothing, isn't it?
CGNakibe (6:10:04 PM): ... I guess...
Idran1701 (6:11:25 PM): *looks up to Arian, patting the ground next to her*
CGNakibe (6:12:10 PM): *sits*
Idran1701 (6:12:53 PM): *rests her head on his shoulder, leaving silence for a minute, at least*
Idran1701 (6:14:01 PM): *she speaks up soon, though*

...What's really wrong, Arian?
CGNakibe (6:14:32 PM): ... not this again. Why does everyone seem to think that something's wrong today? >.<
Idran1701 (6:14:38 PM): ...What?
CGNakibe (6:15:07 PM): First Gizmo, and now you. And yes, I can tell you still want to say something, Gizmo. Don't think I haven't noticed.
CGNakibe (6:15:31 PM): What IS with that?
Idran1701 (6:15:47 PM): ...You're just acting...different today.
CGNakibe (6:17:29 PM): Am I? I certainly don't see what's so different. Just because I'm not perfectly pleased with everything doesn't mean that I've... become a different person or something.
Idran1701 (6:19:59 PM): But that's it, you're not saying anything. You're just...I can tell something's wrong, you're unhappy with something. But you're not saying anything.
CGNakibe (6:20:53 PM): (How long did this effect last, by the by? I'm suddenly curious)
Idran1701 (6:21:41 PM): (A couple of weeks minimum, permanent if he doesn't make an effort to change his outlook back himself. :O)
CGNakibe (6:23:27 PM): (Just trying to figure out how quickly he'd catch on)
Idran1701 (6:23:37 PM): (Oh, since the start?)
Idran1701 (6:23:45 PM): (It's been maybe 18 hours or so.)
CGNakibe (6:24:42 PM): (No no, I'm just trying to see whether or not I should have him notice that he HAS been slightly different or not. Everyone's been pointing it out, but still.)
Idran1701 (6:25:07 PM): (Aha.)
Idran1701 (6:27:00 PM): *lifts her head up, looking Arian in the eye now* I just want to know what you're not saying, that's all.
CGNakibe (6:29:19 PM): What am I supposed to say? Its aggravating enough that I'm stuck here instead of being at home, doing what I'd NORMALLY be doing. And to top it off you have my familiar jumping at me about some bird, and now THIS.
CGNakibe (6:29:23 PM): What AM I supposed to say, huh?
Idran1701 (6:30:41 PM): *looking a bit shocked* Arian, I'm just worried about you, that's all. Why are you snapping at me like this?
CGNakibe (6:32:24 PM): I'm NOT snapping at you.... *stops*
CGNakibe (6:32:38 PM): ... I am... aren't I?
Idran1701 (6:33:27 PM): *frowns* Yes. And I don't apreciate it when I'm just concerned for you. *standing*
CGNakibe (6:34:08 PM): .... Karinska, wait. Please.
CGNakibe (6:34:41 PM): IM: Wait... the bird... you said something was wrong with the bird.
Idran1701 (6:35:36 PM): *No, something was wrong when you were with the bird*
Idran1701 (6:35:48 PM): *sighs, turning* What now?
CGNakibe (6:36:25 PM): .... wrong with... me? So. Is that it?
Idran1701 (6:36:40 PM): ...What?
CGNakibe (6:38:06 PM): ... Gizmo says that there was something wrong with me earlier... and you say something is odd too...
CGNakibe (6:38:31 PM): And... I just yelled at you.... I....
CGNakibe (6:38:45 PM): I think there IS something wrong with me...
Idran1701 (6:39:19 PM): ...*heads back over, sitting down again* What sort of something?
CGNakibe (6:39:38 PM): I don't know. Its just...
CGNakibe (6:42:14 PM): I don't know why I yelled at you just now... its...I'm not angry at YOU, but... if I'm not then why?
CGNakibe (6:43:39 PM): That bird. It might have done something to me. Gizmo thinks so.
Idran1701 (6:43:50 PM): ...The bird.
CGNakibe (6:44:18 PM): And you say I've been different today. And I.. I don't FEEL different, but... if I'm not then why am I doing things I wouldn't?
CGNakibe (6:44:55 PM): .... but if it DID do something, what did it do to me?
Idran1701 (6:45:06 PM): ...Well, what are you feeling right now?
CGNakibe (6:48:44 PM): ... remorse for yelling at you.... anger, I think, because I want to be at home. I could get what I want instead of worrying about how much it would take. And mostly I wouldn't be here...
Idran1701 (6:49:04 PM): ...You don't want to be here?
CGNakibe (6:49:15 PM): Yes... no. Maybe. I dunno.
CGNakibe (6:50:49 PM): I want to be here: Its important to you. I made a promise. It doesn't seem so bad... but... I don't want to be here. I'm used to larger towns. I can't say I've had a good experience with the great outdoors in the past.
CGNakibe (6:51:06 PM): But that wouldn't have bothered me a day ago...
Idran1701 (6:53:01 PM): ...I didn't know that. You don't like the outdoors?
Idran1701 (6:53:50 PM): ...It's not really important compared to this...I just didn't know it about you. *small chuckle*
CGNakibe (6:54:39 PM): No! All the bugs, the aggravating biting ones, the itching. trying to find my way through all the trees and such.
Idran1701 (6:55:05 PM): *speaking of, mosquito to the back of the neck!*
CGNakibe (6:55:07 PM): ...*shakes his head* I don't know. Its weird.
CGNakibe (6:55:22 PM): Its like I'm thinking on two.. *bzzzt* OW, damn it. >.< *SWAT*
CGNakibe (6:55:52 PM): ... two different tracks.
Idran1701 (6:57:47 PM): ...You have to be serious. You'd never expect me to believe this if you weren't. *small smile*
CGNakibe (6:59:18 PM): It makes little sense to me either. *small chuckle*
CGNakibe (7:00:32 PM): Its... kind of frightening too.... ._.
CGNakibe (7:01:05 PM): Am I turning into a different person? But I still feel like me... would I even notice if I changed?
Idran1701 (7:03:07 PM): ...*leans over, giving him a deep kiss for a good few seconds before breaking it off*

...What do you feel right this instant?
CGNakibe (7:04:31 PM): *chuckles* I could feel I could use another of those kisses.
Idran1701 (7:06:12 PM): ...*snickers* That's not...quite what I was expecting.
Idran1701 (7:08:36 PM): And you're not usually so forward either, Arian.

Maybe this is part of the same thing? If it is...well, I guess it might not be all bad. *small smirk*
CGNakibe (7:09:25 PM): Hmm. It might be.... heh. *smiles, slightly*
Idran1701 (7:14:33 PM): *smiles back, before giving another kiss*

Romantic here, isn't it? Even if there are some bugs flying about.
CGNakibe (7:14:57 PM): Its... definitely got its charms. *smiles*
Idran1701 (7:15:27 PM): ...Whatever's wrong, you still seem like you. Overall, at least.
CGNakibe (7:17:28 PM): Maybe its a change in outlook?
Idran1701 (7:17:51 PM): *nods* Maybe.
Idran1701 (7:19:19 PM): Maybe you could...keep the good, and try to move past the bad?
CGNakibe (7:20:10 PM): ... I don't know. I could... try.
Idran1701 (7:23:31 PM): I don't want you to be scared, Arian. I'm here for you, whatever's wrong. And if you want to talk about any of this, I'll listen.
CGNakibe (7:24:12 PM): (At random, Idran?)
CGNakibe (7:24:32 PM): (A friend of mine just got back into town tonight. Took a flight. Piloted by a guy whose initials were T.S.R)
Idran1701 (7:24:37 PM): (Heh.)
CGNakibe (7:24:40 PM): (Arrived in gate d20)
Idran1701 (7:24:46 PM): (That's hilarious. :D)
CGNakibe (7:26:38 PM): Alright. I will.
Idran1701 (7:26:57 PM): Is there any more you want to talk about it now?
CGNakibe (7:27:16 PM): Not at the moment, I don't think. Perhaps later.
Idran1701 (7:29:28 PM): *nods*

...Do you want to head back?
CGNakibe (7:29:50 PM): Perhaps in a minute. -.-
Idran1701 (7:30:50 PM): *nods, leaning on him again and shutting her eyes, smiling as she just listens to the stream*
CGNakibe (7:50:02 PM): (Ending here? It seems like a good idea)
Idran1701 (7:50:20 PM): (Yeah, sorry. Left to grab dinner, thought I'd already cut it.)
CGNakibe (7:50:43 PM): (Ah. Heh)
