Exploring

[Korbel]

Korbel gave her a light shrug. "I think he'll write when he gets a chance," said Korbel. "It could be tomorrow when he sends something, or maybe the next day. Just don't worry to much about it. I don't think he would just go off and not contact you somehow."

[Kris Lupin]

"I know." She put her arms around him then rested her head on his chest. "But at least I have you."

[Korbel]

Korbel gave her another light smile. "Yeah. That's true," said Korbel. "I'm not planning on leaving anytime soon, hopefully."

[Kris Lupin]

"I know I won't be leaving and I hope you wont have to leave either." Ashura said smiling.

[Korbel]

Korbel kissed her forehead. "Let's hope that. I'm not planning on it, but you know how things come up. We can't let Gretchen know about who you are. If that happens, we'll both be in trouble."

[Kris Lupin]

"Yeah, you for not telling about me and me for being who I am." Ashura said moving her hand to his chest.

[Korbel]

"Exactly. Gretchen doesn't like people keeping stuff from her. If she found out, well, I don't think I want to see that side of her," said Korbel.

[Kris Lupin]

"I really hope she doesn't find out about us, but I do wish we didn't have to keep this a secret." Ashura sighed then played with his shirt collar.

[Korbel]

"I know," said Korbel. "I don't really like keeping secrets either, but for our safety, especially yours, we have to keep it a secret for now. I'm not sure how your brother would react us together, that is if he remembers me from France."

[Kris Lupin]

"I hope he gives you a chance." She said quietly still playing with his shirt collar. She kissed his cheek then put her head back on his chest.

[Korbel]

"Yeah," said Korbel. "But I don't blame him for not. After all, I was horrible to him." He closed his eyes as she played with his shirt collar. Korbel moved his hand slowly up and down her arm.

[Kris Lupin]

Ashura wanted to do more then just kiss but she didn't want to upset Korbel so she just continued to play with his collar.

[Korbel]

Korbel noticed her continuous silence. He glanced down at her. "You're awfully quite. What's on your mind," he said sincerely.

[Kris Lupin]

"Well, I... um... I didn't want you to... to stop... b-before." Ashura blushed.

[Korbel]

Korbel looked at her slightly confused and yet surprised. "You didn't? I wasn't sure, and I don't want to do anything you don't want to."

[Kris Lupin]

"Well, I want to do what you were going to do before you stopped. I want to... how do you say... I think it's go all the way." Ashura said looking up at him.

[Quinn]

Quinn was still outside listening and she had heard everything. So Korbel did know exactly who the girl was, and was deliberately not telling Gretchen! She shook her head. She never would have thought that Korbel would turn against Gretchen so easily. When things started to get sappy again, Quinn got disgusted. Furiously, she barged into the cave, and walked back until she found them. "You didn't really think I was just going to go away, now, did you?" she demanded harshly.

[Korbel]

He gave Ashura a surprised look. "You want to be my mate," he asked surprised. Although the surprise emotion didn't last long. Korbel glanced towards the cave entrance. "Quinn," he said. "Well, no, I didn't really think that you would leave, but why are you still here," Korbel said standing up.

[Kris Lupin]

Ashura glared at Quinn, she had no right to enter her cave. She stood up and took Korbels hand. "You had no right to come in my cave."

[Quinn]

Quinn snorted. "Your cave? What you own it? Like you paid for it or something? Please. You were talking about me behind my back, for one thing, that gives me a right to come in. And Korbel is my friend. I just want to know why he thinks he can get away with keeping a secret that big from Gretchen?"
