Post by LEONORA NIKOLAEVNA on Aug 3, 2015 23:41:25 GMT
Leo had just discovered somewhat of a medical miracle. Well, at least in her eyes. A type of plant that was used as an anesthetic. She had borrowed the book from The Halls and was reading it and walking at the same time. She often did this, even though it really was a foolish thing to do in a public place. Still, when she found something she was incredibly intrigued by, she didn't want to put the book down, even if she had places to go and errands to run. So, she just brought the book along with her on her errands. It wasn't the safest thing to do, considering she often didn't look where she was walking when she was doing this. This was proved at this moment, considering she was looking down and fully collided into someone. She looked up, wide eyed at the person she had almost made a pancake in the hallway. Ryker Tremaine

Ryker looked around himself uncomfortably as he walked through The Halls. He was here trying to find a hint as to where the battle from his vision would take place, but he didn't know where to start to look for it. This place was huge! He had never seen so many books in his life. Granted, books weren't an altogether foreign concept to him; when he was younger his mother taught him and his sister to read, but she only had two books. Occasionally he saw more books in random camps. When he was with the Knights for a short while he saw plenty of them, but never so many as this. He wasn't sure where to begin his search. He was so overcome with not knowing what he was doing that he ran right into someone. Instantly, he looked down, stunned when he realized than he just ran into Leonora. His first thought upon recognizing her was that he hadn't seen her since the other day at the lake with Simon. Without thinking, he reached forward and took hold of her elbow gently to help steady her. He opened and shut his mouth a few times, unsure of what he should say. He didn't have much experience with women. Eventually he forced something out. "My apologies Leonora. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. Is- uh- is there anything I can do for you?" he offers her his assistance, hoping it will distract her from his clumsiness. Also, maybe if he helps her, she can help him find a book that may help him. An interesting idea, but if he's being honest with himself he knows that it's not quite the full reason he offered his aid. LEONORA NIKOLAEVNA

When Leo realized who it was, she calmed down a little. Captain Tremaine was a very kind person, and thankfully wouldn't be upset with her for reading and walking at the same time. She glanced down as he clasped her elbow gently, looking up to see his lips open and close a few times. She didn't know what to say either, and for a moment she thought they'd be stuck there, standing uncomfortably close with nothing to say. Finally, he spoke. An apology! She shook her head, "No, it was my fault, Captain," she said swiftly. "And-" she wasn't entirely sure if there was anything he could do for her, but for some reason she wanted to think of something. She had always enjoyed his company, and he was a good leader, right? Her eyes moved once more to his hand on her elbow and she straightened up a little. "I was just reading as I headed to the armory. My shoulder pads were dented recently," she gestured to the bag slung over her shoulder, where the armor was hiding. "You can join me, if you'd like," her voice was getting quieter as she spoke. it was hard to know when to talk like friends and when to talk like captain and corporal, so it was easiest to just not talk at all, right?

Ryker cleared his throat and moved his hand from her elbow when he noticed her glancing down at it. He forgot it was there. He tended to forget things more often when he was around Lenora, though he wasn't quite sure why. At hearing her offer and her reasoning for heading to he armory, he looked at the bag slung over her shoulder. Would she let him help her carry that or would it offend her if he offered, he couldn't help but wonder for a few seconds.
"I think I will. I haven't been to the armory in a while," he answers in what he hopes is a casual voice. He takes a deep breath before continuing, "Would you mind- that is, may I have your permission to- uhh ..." he rubbed his hands over his eyes in brief embarrassment. Why was this so difficult? He took a deep breath and finished his thought. "Can I carry your bag for you?" Ryker finished his question quietly, berating himself. Why did he always do this? He hoped Lenora wouldn't think he was too big of an idiot, but that was probably unavoidable now. He looked down the hall, refusing to look at her and see the expression on her face.

Leo tried to ignore the mild excitement that sparked when he said that he would be joining her. Still, a smile still broke onto her lips as he started to stutter his way into asking if he could carry her bag. She waited, patiently, for him to finish the question. She wasn't one to interrupt people, especially when they were having a hard time already. He looked past her, and she took that moment to let her smile grow for a moment before biting it back. "Sure, if you wish." She slipped the bag off her shoulder and took a step forward, holding it out to him.
She knew he was doing it to be nice, and not to be sexist or anything. Lots of women would say 'what, you don't think I can carry my own bag!?'. Leo thought those women were a little too intense, and rather crazy. There are few things kinder than letting someone else help you out. If they're trying to do a selfless act, you should let them. As a christian, Leo fully believes in selfless acts and in letting other people do them on your behalf.

Ryker froze momentarily as Leo's words registered in his mind. She wasn't laughing at him for being an idiot? He could hardly believe it. Yet at the same time, that's one of the things he liked about her. From what he'd seen of her, Leonora was always very understanding of others and giving them the benefit of the doubt. Why did he think that she wouldn't do the same thing for him?
He turned and smiled at her as he reached for her bag, "Thank you," he said, the words carrying a double meaning. Mostly, he was thanking at her for not laughing, but also for letting him help. Some girls would have gotten offended at his offer, but he was glad she wasn't one of them. He changed the subject. "So what were you reading in that book when I ran into you? Is it something interesting?" Realizing that they were blocking the hallway, Ryker started walking toward the armory. Not that anyone else was in the hall, but he felt uncomfortable simply standing there. He always felt better when he was doing something useful.

"Oh," she felt her cheeks get red a little bit at his question. She was slightly embarrassed at her passion about medicine. Leo started to walk with him, keeping her hands clasped together in front of her as they walked. "A book of medicine, really. I've just found an extraordinary plant that can be used an an anesthetic," she started to explain, her blush slipping away to make room for her large smile and excited tone. "I'm hoping to go out today and look for it actually, once I dropped the armor off," she explained. "You could... join me on that little escapade as well, if you wish."

Ryker exhaled quietly, relieved that the awkwardness was over between them, for the moment anyway. Leonora was talking about a plant and getting very excited. Apparently it was some kind of plant that ... was an anesthetic?? As soon as the words registered in his mind, Ryker started paying closer attention. That really was something that could be useful to know. As she continued to talk, Leonora got more and more enthusiastic and Ryker felt a smile beginning to cross his features. He loved it when people were in their comfort zone. Then she invited him to join her. In all honesty, Ryker really just wanted to spend more time with her, so the moment she invited him his decision was already made. Still, he felt like he should probably have a reason to go with her. After all, maybe she was just being polite and inviting him. He cleared his throat. "You know, I'll take you up on that offer. Being able to recognize that kind of a plant could be very useful in the future."He reached out to Selethina, feeling like she should know where he was going, just in case she needed him for something. "Hey Selethina, I'm going to go out with Leonora for a little while. She's going to show me a plant that could help us in that battle that's coming up," he told her quickly before turning his attention back to the beautiful young woman beside him. As much as he cared for Selethina, he didn't want to talk about his real reasons for going with Leonora. In fact, he didn't even want to confess those reasons to himself! Not yet.

Leo looked up at him and smiled as he agreed to join her on her little plant excursion. "Perfect, there's a picture of it in here..." she shuffled through the pages until she found what she was looking for. She held the book out to him, stopping the walk for just a moment to point out which photo he should be looking at. "That's it. It should be able to grow in this climate, which is great!" she felt a little giggle of excitement come out of her mouth and she quickly close it, continuing to walk toward to the armory. They reached it quickly, and she stepped inside to approach the desk. She pulled out the armor and placed it on the counter in front of her. After explaining what needed to be fixed, she glanced back at Ryker with an apologetic little smile as the blacksmith left to get her a quote as to how long it would take. He soon returned, and Leo turned back to face Ryker once more. "Okay, ready?" she raised an eyebrow at him in anticipation. Obviously he was still going with her, but she didn't know why her stomach was worrying that he'd bail last second. In all honesty, she didn't want to go searching for the plant alone. She was a good fighter, but it'd be nice to have someone there who knew more than she did. Yup, that was obviously the only reason she wanted him along, right? "We should be careful. I'm not sure how far from Elysium we'll have to go."Ryker Tremaine

Ryker leaned down a little so he could see the picture that Leonora was showing him. The plant seemed quite simple, but at the same time it was one that he was unfamiliar with. So this actually would be an instructional excursion for him. Until he met Selethina, he spend his life above-ground in a nomadic fashion, always moving. At the same time, he relied completely on the land for everything. So he knew how to search for plants. He wasn't sure if that would help today, but at least it was something he felt comfortable doing. He smiled when she giggled and started walking once more to the armory. She was so ... different from everyone else he knew. In a good way, that is. In a way that he couldn't quite explain. A way that made him feel like he did right before a battle, but better. Once they arrived at the armory, he gave the bag back to her and just watched her interact with the blacksmith. He liked watching her, spending time with her. There was something about it that was just ... extremely satisfying. After a short while, she turned to him and asked if he was ready. He gave a small smile to hide his nerves, "Of course." He gestured that she could precede him out the door. As they continued to walk, Leonora mentioned that they should be careful and she didn't know how long this was going to take, how far they would have to go. Ryker was liking this idea more and more. Alone time with her was extremely appealing to him and without really thinking about it, he wanted to be out in the forest with her. He turned to her and grinned. "Then let's get out of here," he said as he impulsively reached over and grabbed her hand as he hurried toward the outskirts of camp. He really just wanted to be alone with her. All of a sudden, it hit him. He was holding her hand. He had grabbed it. His stomach rolled with nerves. What if she didn't want him to grab her hand? What was she thinking right now? He was so nervous about the whole thing, but he didn't know if there was anything he could do about it. He'd already taken her hand after all. LEONORA NIKOLAEVNA

Leo lead the way out of the armory, slowing her pace for him to walk beside her. At his grin, he grabbed her hand and started hurrying toward the trees. Leo felt her face heat up, her cheeks probably bright red as they moved, but she didn't pull away. In fact, she was too stunned even to speak. They were moving rather swiftly, not saying anything, until she slowed, "Wait, we should start looking around here." She saw many plants that were similar in climate needs to the one that they wanted. She let go of his hand, a little reluctantly but tried to make it look natural, as she bent down toward the ground in a low walk, trying to get a could look at that plants below them. "It'll be smaller this time of year, and a pale green rather than the darker one that you see in the picture. The white blossoms will just be little buds, too. I've brought some pots that we can take some back in," she always had a collection of small pots with her, what with her studying up on new plants and medical needs every day. Plants were the easiest and most primitive way to treat ailments, and in Leos opinion they were the best way. Ryker Tremaine

Ryker slowed down when Leo did, following her lead. He didn't know what exactly they were looking for and she did, so he figured he should let her be in charge. He was a little bit disappointed when she released his hand, but he knew they couldn't keep on holding hands forever. She probably thought he just grabbed her hand without wanting to, because he wanted to get out of the city, but he didn't. He watched her as she bent down and began studying some of the plants nearby. She was in her element, in her comfort zone and he loved it! She was describing the kind of plant he was looking for and a part of Ryker listened, but the other part wasn't really listening at all. After a few seconds, he turned away from her and bent down so he could look at the nearby foliage as well. He didn't want her to catch him staring, after all. "Alright then, I guess I'll just holler if I see anything like that." He answered slowly. LEONORA NIKOLAEVNA

Leo was in the zone. She didn't even notice him staring or not listening. Once she had a task at hand, she was dead set on it. Mmm hmm," she simply muttered as he said he'd holler. And so they searched, until she was starting to get discouraged. She glanced over at him, and stopped moving. He was really trying, being it here bending down just to help her out. She sighed, smiling and turning away from him to get on her hands and knees for a moment. Then, she stopped again, turning to face him once more. She bit her lip, as if she was going to say something before glancing at his hands, which were closing in on a poisonous leaf. "Ryker!" She called, jumping forward to push him away from the bright plant. She gasped for air as the maneuver knocked the wind out of her. Ryker Tremaine

Ryker tried to focus on what he was doing. He wasn't sure exactly what he was looking for, but he would certainly try his best. He squatted low, ruffling through branches and bushes as he tried to find the plant Leonora was so excited about. A part of him wanted to find it quickly so he wouldn't have to search for it anymore, but another part of him didn't want to find it fast at all. That part of him wanted to spend the day with Leonora, searching through plants and spending time with one another. Still, was that even possible or would she want to return back to camp. He had no idea. He was distracted with his thoughts until he heard Leonora shout his name. He jumped and started to turn towards her, but the next thing he knew, he was lying on the ground, looking up at her. What in the world was going on? He couldn't piece it together. Yet, as he stared up at her, he reigned in a smile. Maybe it wasn't so bad making her worry about him- though he had no idea what he'd done. The concern on her face was sincere and he couldn't help but wonder if she cared for him at all. "What?" he asked, still staring at her. His head was starting to spin a little and he felt a drop in his stomach, but he ignored them both and focused on the beautiful young woman in front of him. What was she so concerned about? "Is everything all right Leonora?"LEONORA NIKOLAEVNAOOC: I'm sorry it's taken me so long!!! I've just had a crazy week. Promise I'll do better.

Leo looked down at him as they were flattened on the ground, a look of panic in her eyes. That is, until a smile appeared on his face. She felt her face change from panic to mild confusion, and then he spoke. She gently moved away from him, just enough so they weren't so uncomfortably close. "There was a-" she cleared her throat, he eyes darting toward the plant she had saved him from, "poisonous. That plant, over there. It wouldn't have killed you but you could have been knocked flat for weeks," she said feeling a little more confident now that she as talking about things she understood. "I guess it was a little unnecessary for me to tackle you, though..." she could feel her cheeks warming up and knew a blush was creeping onto her face. Ryker Tremaine
