Re: [][][]Fallen becomes Risen[][][] (For Soul)

[Blueroanie]

Marcus was on his way to Ryu's home. He had the address laid out in front of him on the dash as he turned down onto her street. The place was pretty run down and the houses were just able to be described as 'liveable'. She wasn't lying when she said it wasn't much. He was wearing a nice navy blue t-shirt, a black sports jacket with white stripes down the side, dark blue jeans, black sued shoes, his cowboy hat, and aviators. Looking from side to side, he looked for her address. In the middle of the street he found it. So he pulled into the driveway, locked his car, and then rang on her doorbell. ~If I'm not here I'll probably be at the beach.~ Is what she had said. But maybe she would be here, he was a few minutes late and hoped she didn't mind.

[Soul Hunter]

"Ryu, Door!" shouted Joker.."Shesh I'm getting it" I said.. I was wearing black jeans and a top which had a black collar and body but then had white sleeves... I had my trainer on since I didn't really wear anything else but looked fairly neat compared to normal and answered the door and Joker was sitting at a table laughing slightly... you could now see that the dragon curled right around my neck with the tail dissapearing down my back.... my wings were no where to be seen since Joker had hidden them for me..."hey" I said opening the door and smiling slightly

[Blueroanie]

Marcus smiled when she opened the door. They were actually similarly dressed which made him smile even more. "Are you ready? You look nice." His brown eyes seemed brighter at this moment. ~She's beautiful.~ (Is it okay if she doesn't read this particular thought? It would be kind of awkward. ) "I was going to take us to Rock Bottom. It's one of my favorites, you hope you like it as well. Their food's delicious." He noticed her dragon mark seemed different but he didn't know how. Oh well maybe he was just imagining things, he couldn't really say how it was supposed to be. It's possible it was like that the whole time and he just didn't notice how it looked exactly.

[Soul Hunter]

"Yep I'm ready.. unlike most It's a hassle to to take to long getting ready" I said "and thanks you look nice as well and I don't think I've been there either" I said knowing I had heard ti somewhere but couldn't think where.. I shook my head and walked out locking the door "shall we get going then?" I asked.. The dragon had always been likethat but it sometimes moved I never bothered hiding it since I found it took too much time when I could be doing other things...

(lol, ok.. wasn't going to anyway)

[Blueroanie]

Marcus nodded, agreeing with her. It had taken him only 10 minutes to through something on, put on some cologne, and make sure he was decent. "Well I hope you like it." He said smiling and went over to the car. He opened the car door as before and waited patiently for her to climb in.

((Sorry so short. And I also have to get off to get some dinner. I might be on later. ))

[Soul Hunter]

I smiled and sat inside "you really weren't kidding when you said you were raised to act like a gentlemen huh?" I said "but thanks" I had met other guys that had acted like this around me but usually wasn't impressed since they were just playing around... But I would usually play along for a bit and then crash their game.
I got out once we got there and closed the door behind me and looked at the place curiously
(ok see you later then)

[Blueroanie]

Marcus chuckled and got into the driver's seat. "I don't kid about those kinds of things." In a few minutes they were at the restaurant. It was a seaside cafe right next to the beach. There was a small walk way down to the sand but there was also a balcony looking out the back of the restaurant at the sea if you only wished to sit and chat. Marcus got out, opened the door for Ryu, and then closed it. He then made his way to the entrance. "I hope you like sea food." After making their way inside they were led to a table near a window in the back with a perfect view of the sea. Marcus pulled Ryu's chair out for her and then sat down himself across from her. In a few minutes he knew what he wanted to order and set down the menu. For a few seconds he found himself admiring her face. The dragon marking did not bother him anymore and he started to ignore it, seeing only who she was underneath. Not wanting to embarrass her he looked out the window instead and smiled at the beautiful site. The sun was above the water line, though it was dusk so the sunlight shone on the waters and created a gorgeous landscape.

[Soul Hunter]

~Bly-Ryu~
I sat down when he pulled my seat out looked to the menu looking to see what they had first before deicdeing on a classic dish just to try it since I hadn't eaten fish in a while. I looked up at him breifly and then looked outside smiling at the view. It just seemed peaceful and calming.

[Blueroanie]

When the waiter came back he turned to Ryu. "Are we ready to order?" With a nod from Marcus the waiter asked Ryu. "And what will the miss have?"

((Sorry it's so short. I drew a mind blank.))

[Soul Hunter]

(no worries)

I looked to the waiter "can I have smoked samon and a glass of water please?" I asked politely noticed the waiter watching the dragon on my cheek and moved my hand over it with a sweet smile and he looked suspisiously and then turned to Marcus

[Blueroanie]

Marcus looked up at the waiter with a quizzical look, acting as if he didn't notice the dragon. "Is there a problem?" For a moment the two kept eye contact and then finally the waiter scowled quietly and walked off with the orders. Marcus squared his shoulders and unclenched his fists. "Now I know what you mean." After making sure the waiter went to the kitchen, he turned back and met Ryu's eyes. "If anyone else has a problem with how you look, they'll have to answer to me." For a moment he was serious and had a protective look, then he smiled and become his charming self again.

[Soul Hunter]

She watched what happenedand looked to Marcus as he spoke an laughed "I canlook after myself very well thank you and it's normal it happens quiet alot so I'm used to it"she said waiting for her meal quietly as the waiter brung over the drink she sipped some of hers and then put it down quietlywaiting until the waiter walked away again and moved her hand away from the dragon mark. and then noticed he was back to his usual self and laughed slightly

[Blueroanie]

Marcus had his beer set out in front of him when the waiter gave Ryu her drink. After the man left, Marcus raised his glass and moved it in a slow, circular movement and watched the golden brown liquid twirl around the sides. He was in deep thought and after a few moments, sighed and set the drink down. The waiter came with the food and set it all down in front of the two. "Thank you." The waiter grumbled a response and then turned and went back to the kitchen. There was a silence that followed as Marcus unfolded the napkin from around the utensils and set it to the side of the plate. "Bon appetit." He smiled and then began preparing his lobster.

[Soul Hunter]

Ryu drank a bit more of hers as her dish was set infront of her and unwrapped the napkin from around her food smiling when he said 'Bon Appetit' and began to eat her fish quietly thinking.. * maybe I should have his the dragon afterall* she thought and closed ehr eyes shaking her head and looked outside with a slight smile appearing on her lips watching the sea view

[Blueroanie]

Ryu seemed concerned for a moment but then a few moments later smiled and looked out the window. So he pushed it aside as nothing and pondered no more on it. Wishing to break the silence, Marcus swallowed a bite of lobster and looked up at Ryu as he addressed her. "So how long have you lived here? Have you moved at all?" It was an unusual question to start out with, but he wanted to know more about her.

[Soul Hunter]

"nope,I moved here a few weeks ago, what about you, you seem like a local to me?" she said turning her gaze to him as she spoke and crossed her arms on the table waiting for an answer curiously

[Blueroanie]

Marcus nodded and chuckled at her expression. "Right you are. I was born and raised here on a horse ranch that my father inherited from his father. I'm next in line to gain ownership over the land." He smiled briefly but then it faded as a thought crossed his mind. Unless of coarse the bastard takes that away from me to. He frowned slightly but then remembered Ryu. Instead he looked down at his food and took another bite. Then after swallowing he looked up again. "I'm as country as they get. Though my mother was born in the city. My father was visiting a friend of his in New York. Rick, my father's friend, held a party for them to enjoy and invited neighbors. My mother was 2 houses down to right of Rick. My mother and father met each other at the party and later exchanged phone numbers and addresses. My father visited New York more often until finally she came down to visit. She never went back to the city, He proposed the 3rd day and she accepted." He smiled at the thought of his parent's love. But an old emotional wound became more active, like a scab being peeled off a cut. "So how do you like the food?" He asked, pushing aside his emotions for the time being.

[Soul Hunter]

"it's nice" she said nodding.."well mine are up in their home.. and you probably understand what I mean by that... they loved each other I could tell that from the breif time I was with them but It's much more interesting here and also I have a lot more freedom than the rest of them which is great" she said smiling "Plus they don't have fish and everyone is awfully snobbish and the food is a lot better too" she said remembering the foul tasteing food from her orgins and shivered at the thought before laughing slightly "also I think if anyone stayed up there they'd go utterly mad and they don't have the sea either"

[Blueroanie]

Marcus smiled and listened to her reply. Her parents, too, loved each other as she had said. "Do you ever wonder if you could be happy like your parents?" He was curious of her reply. He was almost finished with his lobster and he took another bite as he waited.

[Soul Hunter]

"hmm, A few times I think, but it would be a whole lot harder I know that..." She said and finished her fish and then leaned back slightly and took a sip of her drink "why do you ask, curious?" she asked thinking through her memories not really wanting to recall why she left her recent town and shook the memory off and rested her head on one of her hands

[Blueroanie]

Marcus shrugged. "The silence was killing me and...I was curious." He finished his lobster and set his plate to the side with his utensils on it. "You as well?"

[Soul Hunter]

Ryu nodded finishing her drink taking a real disliking to the waiter that kept looking over to her and sighed "anymore questions?" she asked hoping he wouldn't ask why she moved here out of all questions.

[Blueroanie]

Marcus shrugged as he tried to think of something. "I can't really think of anything at this point." He sat back and folded his muscular arms across his chest. "I free for answering anything if you wish." He smiled waiting to see if she had anything to ask him.

[Soul Hunter]

"hmm, how about I introduce you to Jester tomorrow, the merlin I was talking about?, I can teach you a bit of falconary after my show in the morning" she said thinking "I don't really have any questions either" she said smiling slightly she shuffled slightly feeling a gaze at her from the waiter "I think we should get out of here"

[Blueroanie]

Marcus nodded. "Yea sure sounds great!" He smiled and noticed how beautiful Ryu was. Her hair caressed her face and her eyes pierced through you. And her skin...her skin was so soft. Looking down a tad embarrassed, Marcus cleared his throat and pulled out his wallet. He set down the money with the check and then stood up. "Yea, let's go." Marcus waited for Ryu to get ready and to head to the car, him following.
