Alex walked into a clearing. He checked back to see if Claudia was still following. He squinted in the dim light and continued on. Alex pushed back a couple of branches and came infromt of a log cabin. Its paint was peeling off the walls and some of the windows were broken, but otherwise, it was in good shape. Alex opened the door and invited his friend in. "Ahhh, home sweet home..." He murmered sarcasticly.

As Claudia walked into the clearing, she saw such a run-down building that she was surprised that it was still standing, but it sure was better than the mountains...it was a home. Her silky curtain of black hair crept infront of her face as she walked in and gave Alex a myterious smile. She looked around, squinting in the dim light and said,"It'll do..." She walked into the middle of the dusty "home" and looked strangley lost...but only for a second. The next second the dust was sent flying into the air and formed a gray cloud in the middle. It was then sent dlying out the door like a gigantic swarm of flying insects.

Alex closed the door behind him and lit an oil lantern. He placed it on the wooden table that stood in the middle of the room. This table was special to him. It was the first piece of furniture he'd made, it like everything else, was handcrafted by Alex. Alex walked over to a small cabinet and pulled out a jug of water and two mugs. He poured the spring water into the mugs and gave one to Claudia. "It isn't much...but it's home... I'll go get us some dinner later. The rabbits here are good, and luckily, they are over populating the woods. So...do you like Roasted Rabbit, Baked, stewed, or soup?" He asked cheerfully, glad for a friend. For most of his life, Alex had been lonely... But now...that could all change...

She stared at him strangley. She raised an eyebrow and suddenly went pale. "Eat....eat a rabbit?" she managed to sputter. Her face was still oddly pale as if he had suggested to eat his little brother.

"Let me guess, your vegatarian...I'm sorry." He walked over to a small window and sighed. "My first one was forced down by hunger...I had to learn to survive Claudia...I had no choice..."

Claudia walked across the room and sighed a deep heavy, forlorn sigh. "That is okay..." she said slowly, "But I...I could not eat them...or kill them for that matter. Humans have betrayed me....but animals...they do not betray...they show no deceit. They are the only ones that you can trust." She walked back across the room with meaningful strides. When she was very close to him, she gazed into his liquid brown(picked a color and a texture as you didn't pick one yourself on his description...I"ll change it later..) eyes as if trying to find some small treasure within them. "You might even be untrustworthy."

Alex looked deeply back into her green pools of liquid diamond.
"Is that what you think, Claudia...?" He whispered. He gazed intently into her eyes and lost himself in the endless space. "Do you trust me...?" He couldn't pull his eyes away. He stood as if hypnotized, peering into her beautiful orbs. Alex's heart pounded wildly against his ribcage, his breath was shallow and irregular as he tried to keep it calm.
[Tell me if they're going too fast...]

[glow=red,2,300]At first, she looked deep into his eyes. They were so...entrancing...wonderful...dreamy...NO!! An alarm went off in her head. He's another human! He can;t be trusted! She looked down at the floor. Anything to escape from those eyes. She seemed to be studying the weak, dusty floorboards for a while. "Not really..." she said slowly, "I've only known you for a day..." One glorious wonderful day.[/glow]

Alex looked away, embarrassed. He looked up and glanced out the dusty window, finding something interesting in the thick canopy of the trees. He watched a bird building its nest, a rabbit dart into its hole, and a deer step into the clearing. It was all so magical living in here, but Alex had been lonely for too long...
He found himself looking again at Claudia, noticing everything about her as if seeing her for the first time again. The beautiful raven hair, the entrancing emerald eyes... He felt them burn into his pools of liquid mahogany awhile ago, boring into his mind as if every thought could be read, easy as an open book. He took a deep breath and forced himself to say something.
"Well, I'm going to get some dinner. There's some wild carrots and herbs out there in the brush. I can make something... Wanna come? You can tell me what you'd like to er...eat..." He forced himself to look at her but he actually wished the floorboards would open up and swallow him into its depth.

She closed her sparkling gray eyes. She wished that she could just trust some one that easily...but years of fugitive life had caused that characteristic to disappear. As she looked up, she unvoluntarily flipped her long curtain of black hair in a graceful arch. Her cheeks grew a bright pink hue. "S-sure." she stammered. Her eyes seemed to sparkle with the thought of spending more time with him, but her mind couldn't stop screaming NO! NO! NO!!!

[your description said and I quote "sad green eyes"]
HE smiled slyly and stroded to the cabin door. Alex paused to grab his blade, bow and arrows. He grinned at Claudia, a mischievious twinkle in his eyes.
"C'mon slowpoke!"

[uhh....sorry...but originally it was cold gray eyes...I confused myself!]
A rare smile appeared on her face. "I'll show you slowpoke!" She hurled herself through the door and landed roughly on the ground, getting a mouth full of dirt. She shot him a "DON'T YOU DARE SAY ANYTHING!" glare before walking to the brush. "So...where would these carrots be exactly?"

Alex suppressed a laugh and manage to choke out the words, "In a clearing in the middle of the underbrush. The area is inhabited by some rabbits and hares that feed on the carrots so..." He trailed off, remembering Claudia's words about eating an animal. "Come with me..."
He walked into the dense forest, blade in hand.

Her sweet laughter filled the forest and echoed off of the trees. She didn't know why she was laughing...maybe it was just being in his prescense. "W-Why do y-you have t-that jknife?" she asked still laughing.

His handsome head popped out from behind a tree.
"I don't want to get eatan by the cute fussy cougars..." he said, a faint trace of sarcasm in his voice. It was so faint, that Claudia couldn't tell if it was there. [is that Powerplaying? if it is...sorry...] He tucked the knife into his belt and winked at the girl. "C'mon! The hares will beat us to the carrots!" His cheerful laughter echoed into the air.
