Finally Spring

[Jeni]

Tazin liked Spring. It was such a pretty season, with all the blooming flowers and vivid green leaves. And nothing was covered in snow. Plus, it was warming up, which was also a big bonus because Tazin wasn't to fond of the cold. And she liked actually being able to feel the sand between her toes again as she sat on the beach. Soon enough she could go swimming, but the lake was still a little to cold for that.

Raphael was sitting beside Tazin, his feet out infront of him, warmed by the radiating sun. His fingers intertwined with Tazin's on the warmed, dry sand. They had been dating for a few months now, and he felt alive, and happy, and nearly complete, and especially so when he was around her. A smile curved his kissable, delicious lips, as he looked at Tazin lovingly with his deep blue gaze.

[Jeni]

Tazin turned her head, she could feel his gaze on her. She could always tell when he was looking at her, something she had picked up since they started dating. And she certainly wasn't complaining. She returned his adoring look, her navy blue eyes were tranquil and loving and she was very much at peace sitting on the beach.

[rowena]

Raphael raised a hand to cup a side of her face, smiling. He leaned over, his lips passing over hers so lightly it could barely be called a kiss. When he pulled back, he spoke. "We're going to have a visitor very shortly."

[Jeni]

Tazin smiled and leaned her cheek into his palm. Though she did look slightly confused by his comment. "Oh? Who?" She asked curiously, wondering who wanted to see them.

[rowena]

"My sister," he said, a little nervous. "I thought it would be right, seeing as she's my only family left... Besides, you both are living in that Castle and have not met, yet. I think it's about time you met." He smiled again and then kissed her, the hand that was cupping her cheek slowly moving under her hair and to the nape of her neck.

[Jeni]

Tazin brightened. "Oh, alright. That sounds great. I would love to meet your sister." She replied happily, leaning into his caress. It was funny how both of them had been living at the Guild all this time and hadn't met yet. Though, it was understanable conisdering the size of the castle and the number of people inhabiting it.

[rowena]

Raphael kissed her again, closing his eyes and deepening the kiss. His fingers slid up into her silky hair, entangling the many strands in his fingers. It was just as he was starting to really lean in on her, when he heard a distant, yet familiar sound.

Rowena was sure that Aene did not follow her, but nonetheless, she urged for her horse, Geweldig to move faster. His slick black coat shined in the afternoon gaze of the sun. While one of Row's hands held the horse's reins to guide him, the other grasped at a basket, filled with a tastey lunch from the Castle's kitchen.
She and her trusty horse exited the Oak-lined path that led to the Lake, and the dirt slowly started to change to soft, white sand. They slowed, and Rowena looked out across the vast water, and saw two figures sitting and kissing. No doubt that was her brother. She made her way right, going around the lake's shore, and was soon approaching Raphael and his new girlfriend.

[Jeni]

Tazin had her hand on Raphael's cheek, the other in the sand to stabalize herself. She was really enjoying the kiss when she too heard the sound of horse hooves. Turning her head, she saw the girl with long black hair ridding a black stallion over towards them. "I take it that's your sister?" Tazin inquired as she smiled.

[rowena]

Raphael looked rather annoyed at Rowena's sudden appearance, because he really wanted to continue kissing Tazin. However, he was glad that his wonderful sibling and his wonderful girlfriend were finally going to meet. "Yes. That's Row."
"Hey big brother," said Rowena once she had jumped off her horse and was walking towards them. She stopped a few feet away, with her feet apart and her fists on her hips. She was shaking her head amusedly, and Raphael folded his arms over his chest. He knew what she was thinking, alright.
"Gimme a break, Row," he said, then went to go and hug her. "She is different than the others," he told her softly in his sister's ear. Pulling from the hug, he turned back to Tazin. "This is Rowena, my sister. And Row... this is Tazin, my girlfriend." He smiled to himself reassuringly when Rowena walked up to Tazin and gave her a small hug.

[Jeni]

Tazin stood up, gently brushing the extra sand off as she returned the hug and then stepped back, giving Rowena a small smile. "It's very nice to meet you Rowena." She said kindly.

((Sorry it's so short.... I can't think of anything -_-;)

[rowena]

"Yep! I've brought some food, incase you two are hungry. I know I'm nungry."
Rowena walked to the other side of her horse and picked up her basket, which she had set on the ground, and brought it back over to Tazin and Raphael.

[Jeni]

"Thank you Rowena." Tazin said happily, giving her a smile. "I could definately use some food right now. What did you bring?"

[rowena]

Rowena thought for a moment, then decided it'd be best to check the basket. "Let's see... I've got sandwiches, tuna sandwiches. Some iced tea, or banana-kiwi juice; which ever you'd prefer. I've got gormet cheese. Very good. Some rolls... granolas, yogurts, and... pretty much anything... but not exactly anything..."
Rowena nodded. "That's all I've got. Basically. Oh! And chocolate."

[Jeni]

"Well you just think of everything!" Tazin told her after she named off what was in the basket. "That sounds like a delicious variety of food... Did you say chocolate?" She asked, looking interested. "Chocolate has got to be one of my favorites." She said with a wide grin.
