Erin was back in her room.
"So much for hanging out with my friends today." She muttered to herself.
She started gathering her plain tunics, still wearing her blue dress, and
put them in her pack. She went to her chest and pulled out a cloak and
blanket and deposited then in her pack too. A flickering caught her eye,
and she looked out her window. Two of her falcons were flying around and
landed o her window sill. She looked at them and sighed, watching them
chatter.
"Sorry Phebs, Jewel Claw, Stri won't let you come. Just stay here with
Master Juneau. He'll take care of you."
She turned and looked at her weapons. She picked up her small sword, (that
some people mistook for a knife) and placed it on her bed next to her belt.
Then she went to her armory cabinet and found her bow and a quiver of
arrows. She threw those on her bed. She took off her bracelets and tossed
those into her pack. Walking over to her closet, she stood in front of it
and just stared, thinking. She took out a light blue tunic and a pair of
leggings. She took off her dress and slipped on her leggings. She was
just about to slip on her cameo bra when....
.*VOOM*.
Her fireplace poured out smoke. Looking around, out popped a tall
(standing 5'9) red head with gray/green eyes and lots of freckles. Erin
slipped on her cameo and turned around. His eyes met hers and for seconds
they stood there just taking in each others features. Then in three
strides he crossed the room, to meet her in the middle. After her eight
short strides/jumps/runs/ he caught her in his arms and swung her around.
She giggled as his strong arms wrapped around her waist, and lips found her
neck. She pulled away, and looked into his eyes.
"I missed you!" She exclaimed throwing her arms around his neck and
kissing him soundly.
"I missed you too angel." His speech muffled in her hair.
"You grew." She looked up at him. The last time she had seen him he had
only been 5'4 and not as muscular.
He blushed and pulled away.
"Today's your birthday" he said shortly.
She looked up at him. "So?"
He turned and fumbled with something. Erin tried to peek over his shoulder
to see what he was doing, but was to short even on tip toes!
He turned around and smiled awkwardly.
"I got you a present." He pulled out a jewelry box.
