Ri grinned she could spend all of her life just holding hands with Heaven if that was what the girl wanted. With her eyes still locked with Heaven's she began to hmm a little soft tune. Rolling to lay on her side to face Heaven.
The fire keeping them warm in the dark night.

Though she remained silent, Heaven admitted, even if it was only to herself like a guilty secret she dared not disclose, that she liked the sound of this girl’s voice. It was only a soft hum, she didn’t even recognize the little ditty but it didn’t matter at all. Funny how she was sure this was the first time she’d heard its sound and yet felt equally sure it wasn’t.
She stared back quietly watching her lips form the sound that hummed its way along her hearing, wrapping itself around her heart leaving her with a languid, restfull feeling. A lot more than she would have liked to admit.
Complete relaxation in another’s company was a foreign thing to her now after so long with mistrust as her only bed fellow. Still she felt such relaxation now and because it had been lost for so long it was a guilty pleasure to have it back even if was to be for one small moment.

Ri saw the confused look at her humming and said "its a lullaby i remember hearing it somewhere and it has been something to hum ever since" she then went back to humming softly. Her tail swished softly behind her as she closed her eyes and relaxed her own body sure sleep would come sometime soon.
As she hummed she also used her senses to keep alert on the woods no one would sneak up on them on her watch.

“It’s very pretty.” It took a few moments to realize she’d spoken, the whisper soft tone gentle, almost more non-existent than usual, not wanting to disturb the soothing sound. It had come against the loss of that gaze perhaps now it was gone she could almost be truthful. Almost. She could have said how much she loved the sound of her voice and that it wasn’t just the song as much as how it sounded hummed off her lips. Import lay in the choice of words.
Deciding to do the same and relax herself for sleep wasn’t hard, she was half way there thanks to Ri. Closing her eyes against the face across from her she let the song mixed in with the cool of the night lull her to a peaceful state and for the first time in a very long while she actually forgot to cast a protection spell...because at some point she’d fallen asleep without realizing it.

Ri opened her eyes when she felt Heaven go completely lax. Smiling at the sleeping girl she scooted closer to offer more warmth and the since that she was protected under Ri's care, She keep humming being half vampire did have some small pluses she didn't have to sleep every night just a few.
So she just lay there beside Heaven holding her hand and Humming keeping the girl warm.

She awoke to the sound of the birds above, the hard yet soft ground beneath her, a fully dawned sun, higher in the sky than when she usually woke, the warm air that suggested it would be a lovely day…and the warmth of another surrounding her..
The latter was so completely alien to her that it set her fully awake with a jolt her frame stiffening in short panic and fear at the realization that came to her here in this moment; she’d forgotten the spell. It was the first thing that came to her reminding her of the dangers of doing something so stupid. How could she have forgotten, how did she even begin to forget after last time…How was it possible to slip her mind like that…
It didn’t occur to her over the surprise, no, horror of having forgotten such a basic thing that she’d gone to sleep with someone the night before, something else that was so unfamiliar that it completely slipped her mind. Even the fact that she was still holding on to the hand that belonged to a female she well knew and the chance that perhaps she’d at some point rolled herself into the girl’s arms during the night.
It soon did however. A few seconds later as a frown of confusion replaced the panicked look as she looked up at the girl opposite with a look that could best be described as guilty. Rather like the child that had been caught stealing cookies from the cookie jar and hadn’t yet come up with a sufficient lie. Well what could she say in such a situation? she asked herself silently. If she were any lighter she’d be red as a beetroot at this point. Instead she steamed hot enough to cook breakfast.
Her next thought was delayed but swift when it eventually arrived. By the gods she must look like she’d been dragged through a thousand bushes backwards by a wild boar! And she didn’t consider why it was it even mattered as she pulled away quickly without so much as a ‘by your leave’ grabbing her cloak and rushing off to the lake forgoing a lot of grace as she did.

Ri watched Heaven speed off toward the lake from her postion on the ground rolling on to her back once more she gave a soft streach, and sat up looking at the remains of her fire she went and grabbed some more logs and began to build another one. Searching around she found some good eggs in one of her packs, and with the deer meat from last night she ready to make them both a nice healthy meal.
Cooking the food over the fire she looked up at the sky, after she ate she would need to take a bath she wondered if thats why Heaven had taken off to the lake for, was the girl bathing. Ri blushed and shook her head and just sat and waited for Heaven.
Looking back in her bag she found to empty water bottles and went to another part of the lake to get them filled with out bumping into Heaven. Sit the water over to fire to cook out any germs and all the other stuf she grabbed some herbs and began to crush them up to make a herbal tea. Once the water was hot enough she began mixing the crushed herbs with the boiling hot water.
Once everything was done she grabbed a pair of eatting tools and waited for Heaven to reurn.

Once washed she felt a lot better. The water was neither too cold nor too hot, just a lukewarm coolness that woke her up and refreshed her at the same time. She loved the simultaneous weightlessness and heaviness that came with it, feeling the drag against her limbs as she turned, a small pirouette as she made her way back to land. She chose to come out near the same fallen tree that had led her in, sitting awhile as she dried off taking deep breaths of the fresh morning air. It seemed to please her somewhat because she smiled face to the sky, eyes closed.
It was later than she was used to waking, she'd missed her most favourite time, the part at which day and night flirted high in the sky. A single, painfully short moment to finally meet with parting coming far too soon. Dawn. The only time light and dark shared the skies. Running a hand through her damp hair she shook it out with her fingers before slicking it back lending a rather hard edge as well as a strange vulnerability to her features.
Salve Minerva...She whispered softly as if to a long time friend, accepting the small breeze that brushed past her, curling round her briefly as it hurried past, as response enough. Rising she decided she'd spent enough time away to have fully composed herself again. She'd decided not to ponder too much on her slip up, so much so she wasn't even mentioning it by name. It wouldn't happen again. That much was resolution enough. Now for presentable...She stepped down from the tree or rather seemingly floated down the small distance seeming to meet small resistance as if momentarily arched against the wind in a veil of diaphanous white that shimmered away as fast as it had come like dissolving stardust. By the time her feet had touched the ground she was fully dressed again. Presentable. And when her hair eventually dried out and fell back into its natural state she would be more so.
Heave only hesitated a little in returning having regained her stoic state sure that this time she couldn’t possibly be ruffled. She caught the smell on the air and followed it back to camp with wondering thought. Oh that smelt divine...

"It's okay, it smells lovely." she said simply being unused to company also meant she was unused to the concept of breakfast...or lunch and dinner for that matter, including more than one person without official invitation. She'd always been the provider of her own meals and so for her 'I made breaksfast while you where away' was equivalent to 'i hope you don't mind while I have something to eat quickly'
And with a small almost unheard "Good Morning to you, Ri" , having missed it out in her earlier dash, she resumed her position from last night shaking out her cloak as she did wondering what she ought to do today. She already missed Perdita and felt terrible for having sent her away so abruptly. She knew the girl would come back, she would just take her time about it and Heaven would take even longer to admit she missed her, both as stubborn as each other.

Ri having already ate her food moved to hand Heaven her food and smiled "good morning indeed" she leaned in slowly encase Heaven wanted to strike out, once in reaching distance she kissed Heaven softly on the head and then lips quickly.
"I am going to go bath myself real quick go a head and eat" getting up she made her way over to the lake once away she dropped her clothes with out probably and got in the water letting its cool touch cool her heated body slowly dipping her tail in and out to get all the dirt and etc. out of it.
Laying on her back and floating for a few more minutes she finally got to work on scrubbing herself down and cleaning her hair. Getting out she pulled on her bottoms and made quick work of her wet tail and hair. Once dry she got rest of the way dressed.
Walking back to camp she smiled at Heaven and set beside her leaning close she closed her eyes and waited for what may come she had after all kissed Heaven and left she expected a few slaps for a couple weeks of this relationship until Heaven came around and didn't hit her anymore but until then she could leave with the smacks as long as they where together.

It was part instinctive to take what was handed to her and having received it before thought she looked at Ri with a blank expression for a few seconds. It was a small thing but she was lost for a precious few seconds in the novelty of waking to a breakfast she hadn't prepared. No request for money? Or a favour in return? Her gaze narrowed suspiciously attempting to sniff the food from its current distance for any traces of anything untoward. Where was the punch line she wondered...and perhaps it came now as Ri leaned in and kissed her. First her head and then her lips.
Her stillness came from the fact that she had nothing to say...or do. She couldn't very well do anything holding breakfast in her hands now could she. She wasn't about to admit there might have been anything else to it. Not even at the delightful if not worrying flutter of her heart at the simple action. Thankfully her inability to quite know how to react meant she didn't do anything at all. So apart from looking like a statue she managed thus to retain her usual unaffected exterior. Inside however she was a flurry of questions all simply based on perfectly logical course of questioning and not at all because she was curious to try in anyway, obviously...but if it did that in a small second what would it do for a handful of minutes...or longer?
Once Ri was gone and she couldn't watch her anymore with that usual detached gaze that belied the thoughts running round in her mind, she looked back to the food she held. Then without further thought started eating. It was subtle at first but there was an expression of happiness. A small thing that gently rolled itself over her face softening her features gently.
By the time Ri had returned she'd long since finished and when she smiled at her she smiled back a little. It was awkward but it was there. However the moment Ri sat next to her her hackles went up instantly. Still unused to sharing her space and completely unsettled by the way the girl seemed to throw all her assuredness out the proverbial window. It was instinctive, and not something she could just be rid off so quickly. She also couldn't quite tell whether her heart was beating that bit faster because she was alert or because...
She wanted to get up and move away perhaps that would rid her of the clammy palms and sudden awareness of her breathing. Yet she sat there completely rigid and silent in a sort of border line pleasure unwilling to relinquish the feeling still, arkward as it was. “Shall we break camp soon.” She questioned having had to clear her throat and start again.

R opened her eyes and looked at Heaven why hadn't she been smacked maybe just maybe Heaven was coming around. Brushing few of Heaven's bangs out of the way she smiled "yeah we can break up camp" moving to put the fire out all the way she made sure both of the scents would not be left picking up Her stuff she put it all in its place.
Flicking her tail back and forth she waited for Heaven as she began to hum once more only this time words came as well. "Don't tell me if I'm dying, cause I don't wanna know. If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go. Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming, of angels on the moon. Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon."
*song is by thriving ivory - angels on the moon*

She didn't say anything at the soft brush of fingers still doing her best to accept it and think nothing more of it. Which meant she was 'not' thinking about the fact that her touch still lingered. She was a little thankful when she moved and a little disappointed. Perhaps she ought to make up her mind she scolded herself completely baffled by this strange confliction.
Heaven herself had nothing to take. She had come with nothing more than half a loaf and she was leaving with the same. She didn't really have many things. Looking to Ri she watched her tail distractedly for a few seconds listening to the words of her song the last part sticking in her mind like a broken record.
"I'm ready." she murmured voice empty of anything but its usual softness and she began walking.

Ri smiled and moved to stand by Heaven "okay then" she reached out to hold Heaven's hand "is this okay" She let her eyes stay locked with Heaven's showing she meant to harm to the girl she would rather be found by the two clans that hated her and be ripped apart.
