“Its beautiful, Killian… The sun has the sky painted a brilliant pink and purple while the waves… they look as if they are on fire… and the clouds… on the bottom they are a different shade of orange and on the top they are a dark blue… Its gorgeous…” Wrapping her arms around her legs, she put her chin back to it as she thought of the sunsets back at the Hall.
“In the mountains… You don’t get the fire effect… but the sky is painted very similarly… the mountains cast a shadow so that that the sun only hits parts of it… but those parts it paints a golden color… as if it was a treasure...” pausing she thought of her own words and compared the two pictures in her mind.
“I’d have to say both are beautiful in their own way…”

“It’s a different kind of beauty I suppose…” he smiled but there was a hint of sadness in it. Like her and her mother… he was sure they where both beautiful, just a different kind… but she couldn’t see the difference and so he couldn’t tell her what he felt. “the ocean is deferent from the mountains and the desert… but they are all beautiful.” He wanted to say more, wanted to say that people can be different kind of beautiful too, that some where beautiful to look at and others where a pleasure to be around, but he didn’t want to put his foot in his mouth again. He had already told her that once… she hadn’t believed him then why would she believe him now?

“Like music…” she said softly as she leaned back, letting her arms support her from behind. This position put her closer to Killian, but strangely enough, she didn’t notice. They still were not touching and that was all that mattered.
“… and flowers… those too each have a unique beauty to them…” Sighing, she grew quiet as she watched the sun continue to set. Different thoughts went thru her mind as she watched the colors slowly change and fade away, words once told to her came to her mind. … and people…

Killian felt her move a little closer and it made his heart jump, should he move away…? But she didn’t seem to notice… in the end he just held still moving nether closer or farther away as he thought about what she was saying and what he was just thinking.
“He…” it was a sort of half laugh as he smirked at the picture in his head. “Or like my sister’s cooking… from before I left… it might have gotten better I don’t know but Beca would make something you thought would reach up and eat you but it tasted so good… then Vinrin would try… his looked good, made your mouth water but ooooh” he made a face as though he had just bitten into a particularly sour lemon, “… lets just say he should stick to sewing.” He tilted his head back at her smiling at the memory and at his own little bit of cleverness… he might not be able to explain to her the difference in beauty on the inside and the out in people… but at least this way he didn’t have to keep it bottled up.

Listening to him, she laughed as she sat up again before finally standing. The sun had set and it was starting to cool down. On the cliff there was little to protect them from the wind and she was finding herself growing chilled.
“… People… they never do seem to be what your first impression of them is… do they?” she asked wrapping her arms around herself as she waited for Killian to stand. “Do you think your up for the walk back? Its getting a little cold… sorry…”

Did she read his mind!… he arched an eyebrow at her trying to play it off a little, not wanting to bring up the same thing that had upset her before. Then giving another small half laugh he stood brushing off his pants and holding his stick tightly. With all the wind so close to the edge it felt like he could fall over any moment now. He turned slowly taking a few steps away before relaxing a little more. “now now Milady if I’m not aloud to apologies then neither are you, and your right it is a bit chilly isn’t it.” He tilted his head as he smiled looking a little like a kitten before he gestured for her to walk beside him.
“As for people… life would be rather boring if they where all exactly how they where first seen wouldn’t it? Almost as boring as if they where all the same as far as their home job and gender where concerned… you know like all tailors being like Vinrin…” he shuttered a little at the thought, “I’m not like what you first thought am I?”

Seeing his motion to walk beside him, she moved closer so that she was just barely behind him, but not exactly beside him either. Laughing as he commented about Vinrin, she stumbled slightly in the dark before catching herself again. Moving slower, she found herself once again behind Killian, but it was okay. She preferred to follow people anyways.
“No… Your not what I had first thought… Although… I was confused by you at first…” she said, blushing slightly in the darkness. “… I… I guess every time I meet a man… I generally think of them the same… but there was something different about you… that simply scared me all the more…”
Realizing what she had just said she stopped, silently kicking herself for speaking without thinking. “I mean… Oh never mind…”

Killian slowed slightly as she stumbled but resisted the erg to reach out and catch her… if anything that hurt more… he still smiled though continued to walk, she wouldn’t want him making a big deal out of something like that so he didn’t. “Well… that is nice to know… I think…” he scratched his head making more of a show of it then really having an inch, “but your not the only one who has been scared by me… apparently I have a tendency to get the look right and actually face someone in the eyes… I made a little girl cry doing that once… scarred me more then her I think,…”
he laughed deliberately ignoring the comment on men until he though of something to say about it, “so what was your thoughts on Vinrin… Beca’s husband told me he thought Vinrin was a woman at first… until he hugged him…. But then again… I’m not sure if I could lable him a ‘man’…” he was trying to keep the conversation light, but he didn’t want to change the subject, not yet.

A half smile formed on Apri’s face as she recalled the feeling she had felt when Killian first looked at her. It had been as if he looked right into her, right beneath the skin to her soul. Those eyes, blind as they maybe, seemed to have a special power to see more than anyone else could. It was a strange feeling to have them looking into you.
As the conversation turned to Vinrin, however, Apri had to laugh. “Now he… he really puzzled me at first. I have never met a man who tried so hard to be a woman… But after hearing the way he felt about woman… when I realized that he liked men… I felt more comfortable around him… strangely enough, more comfortable than with other women… although he is strange and makes me jump at some of his words… he is not like other people…”

Killian laughed again, “I don’t even think I could label him under ‘people’… but I’m glad you like him. I just wish… I wish he would stop talking about my butt….” He blushed shaking his head but laughing anyway. “You know the more I look back… try and see where the flip was I remember him being the manly man, he is the oldest boy, he used to always stay away from girls… never grew out of the cuddies thing, which was ok with us since we where all still young enough to be in that stage. In the end I’m not sure what is more disturbing…” he began ticking them off on his fingers, “him trying to be like a woman… him actually being confused for a woman… or the men that like him… as a woman.” He shook his head, baffled.

Apri couldn’t help but smile at Killian’s confinement as he ticked off the topics on his fingers. His comment about Vinrin’s curious obsession about his butt, however, was what really made her smile. Perhaps now he understood what she meant, what she felt when people looked at her.
“So now you know what its like…” she said, humor clear in her voice although the slight tinge of bitterness could be detected by the keen ear. Shaking her head, she changed the subject in a flash. “Tomarrow… are there any plans?”

Killian caught the bitterness but chose not to act on it the humor in her voice making in evident that she was just as determent as him to keep things light. “Yeah and it confirms the reason I’m glad I can’t do it to others… well not on purpose… even blind people know when they are being stared at…” he shuttered. “as for tomorrow… more sleeping… I haven’t had a chance to sleep in like this in so so long and I don’t have a room mate to keep me up!” he could have jumped for joy. “Did you have anything you wanted to do?”

Apri laughed at the joy in his voice for not having a roommate. It was a nice chance not to have to hide during the night as well. She was far more comfortable in the large shirts to sleep in, but she obviously couldn’t do that with people in the room.
“Oh I’ve just got something I wanted to finish… I think I’ll go down to the beach to do it in the morning while you sleep… Maybe we can take a walk after?” Climbing the stairs to their rooms, she stopped outside her door and turned to his direction. “Well then… I will see you tomorrow Killian… Good night…”
