Jake yawned and sighed as dawn approached. " What a boring night," he mumbled mentally to Balerion. Some nights guard duty was a lot more fun than others. This was not one of those times. Jake stretched as he stood up, trying to get some energy. If he couldn't find any, there was no way he was going to ride Balerion back to camp. He'd just run or walk back if it came to that. "You ready to go back?" Balerion asked a few minutes later, clearly trying to be sensitive to Jake's sleepiness. Jake was standing, walking around, but he was dead on his feet. "Naw, you go on back and I'll walk. I need to do something or I'm going to be falling asleep for the rest of the day." Balerion nodded before he took off. Jake watched him go and then looked around himself. He was really tired. Maybe he should take a short nap before going to camp and taking on all his responsibilities. But with Balerion gone, Jake had to find some way to not be in the open, defenseless. He trotted over to a group of trees and jumped up into one, climbing up a few branches until he found a comfortable nook. Yawning once more, he closed his eyes, telling himself that he'd only be asleep for fifteen minutes. Then he'd have to get up. Oh well. He had to take advantage of the short chance he had.

Amelie had a lot on her mind.
Being the sneaky little blighters she and her friends were, they had recently received word that Ryluth was planning on launching a full assault on the Knights of Purity. Now, Amelie wasn't affiliated with anyone, but this was still troubling news. Her friends were claiming they'd stay out of the fight, as they always did, but she wasn't sure where she stood. She never fought for anyone other than herself, but for some reason this time felt... different. She had a feeling this fight would bring some serious changes to the world and she didn't know if they'd be good or bad. There was no better place to think that climbing a tree, and she happened to have a signature one that she loved. She made her way to it, climbing up until suddenly her hand made contact with something that did not feel like a branch... Was that someones leg? Either way, it startled her and she started to fall.

Jake rested quite well among the branches in the tree, until he heard some noise from down below. Granted, it was a very quiet noise, but Jake had trained himself to wake to the slightest sound. He did not want to get caught unawares. Especially not outside of Excalibur. In camp, he was relatively safe, the only danger being people who wanted to prank him back for something. However, out here ... best to stay on your guard. He looked down, quite surprised when he saw a beautiful young girl starting to climb the same tree he was already in. As he looked at her, watched her, a grin overtook his features. He didn't even realize it. What was she doing? And why hadn't she checked the tree before she started climbing it. For all she knew some hungry predator was in the upper branches ready to pounce! His smile became more pronounced at his inner wit. He watched, waiting to see when she would notice him. Then her hand brushed his leg and her focused expression changed to one of alarm, as did his, he was sure. She started to lose her balance, but Jake reach forward quickly and took hold of her wrist. He wasn't going to let the poor girl fall, after all. He tried to help her regain her balance. "Woah, calm down there. It's just me," he said with a wry smile. "Sorry about that, you ok?" Jake was surprised by how sincere his question was. He didn't even know this girl, but he wanted to make sure she was ok. He couldn't put his finger on it, but something about her was different.

Amelie let out a little yelp as he caught her wrist and steadied her. She moved her hand to the branch beside him and grabbed on, looking up at him with wide eyes as he spoke. "Oh, just you? And who might you be?" she asked, not bothering to answer his question as to whether or not she was okay. She couldn't help but analyze him. He was stunning, to say the least. That smile, even the way his voice sounded when he talked... she was a teenager, after all, and noticed things like that. She kept her hand on the branch and slowly lifted herself up just a little bit more so that she could place a foot on another branch and lift up so that they were almost at eye level now. But she kept silent, waiting for him to answer her question. Jacob Kennington

He laughed, liking her spunk. Clearly she was NOT a member of Excalibur. First of all, she didn't recognize him as the camp-renowned prankster. Secondly, he was positive he would remember ever seeing someone with her beauty. He'd never seen her before in his life, but he was sure glad she decided to climb his tree today. He shrugged casually, "Yup, just me. Little old me. Little old Jake sitting in a tree spying on a pretty young girl, trying to scare her when she dared to climb my tree," he winked to show he was teasing, but who knew if she'd take him seriously or not? "Needless to say, it worked and I had to let her fall or decide to be a hero," he sighed dramatically, looking off into the distance, but only for a moment. He'd rather look at her. She probably thought he was an idiot, but he didn't care. He was having fun, as was his style. She'd climbed a little more, obviously trying to reach his height, which made him smile wider. If she was going for intimidation, she wasn't getting it. Unless, however, she was trying to intimidate him with her looks. That might work. He shook his head, trying to knock his ridiculous thoughts out of it. He needed to focus. "Now that you know my life's story, can I have your name?" he tried to be charming, but was sure he'd failed. Whatever. It didn't matter, as long as he somehow got her name. AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT

Jake. So his name was Jake. He was then calling her pretty which caused her to raise an eyebrow at him. She was young, alright, and a lot of people would take advantage of that which made her wary. Then he went on to say 'my' tree and Amelie felt herself start fuming. She glared and let out some air through her nostrils but she let him finish talking. "A hero, eh? I don't know, I always land on my feet," she said letting a playful smirk grow on her lips. A smirk that was usually always there but occasionally ran off to make room for a glare or scowl. For now, however, she'd let him have it. She couldn't help but chuckle as he sighed and looked into the distance. She stopped her chuckle from getting too loud though. She couldn't let the guy know that she found him funny and charming, now could she? "My name is a privilege, sir, one that you have not yet earned. Though, I'm glad you so easily gave up yours, Jake," she winked at him then before getting situated more comfortably in the branch. "And for your information this is my tree. I've been climbing it since I was four years old," she gave him yet another scowl but the smile didn't leave her lips. Jacob Kennington

Jake didn't know what to make of this young woman that refused to give him her name. First she was glaring, then she was smirking before she looked like she was about to laugh or something before she winked at him and scowled again. What was going on in her mind? He couldn't believe what was going on. She made no sense. He was used to people getting annoyed at him but this, this was different. He stared at her in bewilderment before giving a sly smile, "Well then, would you mind telling me what I need to do to earn the honor of learning your name? I'm sure I can at least give it a shot," he tried to tease her and convince her at the same time. He was too confused to do anything else. He'd wanted to know her name from the beginning. Now that she'd denied him it, he wanted it even more and he was willing to work for it. "Ahh, so that's why you were glaring at me," he sighed, rolling his eyes at her. "I'll have you know, calling it "my" tree was more an expression than a claim for ownership. If it's because of the tree you don't want to tell me your name, you can have it." He raised one hand, acting as if he was making a serious promise. "Did that earn me any points?" he added quietly, hoping that she would give in. AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT

Hmm, he wanted a task or something to earn the name, eh? She hadn't thought that far ahead. But she was sure she could come up with something... she waited to speak as he went on to say that he understood why she was glaring and that he wasn't actually claiming the tree. Then he offered her the three and she raised an eyebrow at him. Points? "You make a good argument, sir," she stated with her own little wicked grin, "but I'm afraid that isn't enough 'points' to get you the name," ooh, a game was definitely afoot now, "but you're on the right track. Maybe we should have a little challenge, eh? See if you can pass it and then you can have the name," she shifted in the tree again, pushing herself up in order to lean forward, planting her hand on the bark beside his face. "A race?"

When she refused to give her name yet again, Jake leaned his head on the trunk and looked up through the branches as he sighed dramatically. A part of him was surprised by what she was bringing out in him. He hadn't been this dramatic in a long time, but it was fun so he didn't mind. "Of course it's not enough," he mumbled, the edges of his lips twitching slightly as he kept himself from smiling. However, once the word challenge was brought up, he looked down at her, his interest entirely piqued. What kind of a challenge was she talking about? He smiled mischievously; this was definitely his type of situation. He watched her as she shifted closer and decided what her challenge would be. His grin widened. "A race sounds perfect," he answered softly as he gazed into her eyes, waiting for more details. "What kind of a race do you want to do?" He would try to give her a head-start, probably ... but then again, maybe not. Jake loved a good challenge. AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT

"A running one, of course. But through the forest. There are plenty of nature made obstacles..." she pondered, looking down through the branches at the ground below them and the mess of moss, roots, trees, rocks and whatnot. She looked back up at him, "or we could do a different kind of race. Tree hopping," she smirked. The trees were actually rather close together and it would be fairly simple for someone well practiced to jump from tree to tree. Granted, she didn't know how well of a climber he was but... he got this far didn't he? "Thoughts?" she asked. Jacob Kennington

Jake perked up when she mentioned running. He loved to run! Not that he expected to beat her or anything, but a race would be fun on the ground. He looked down through the branches as she did, silently agreeing with her. There were quite a lot of obstacles down there already so it would definitely be interesting. "Tree hopping," he repeated in what he hoped sounded contemplative. He'd never done it before, but the name was self-explanatory enough. He looked over at the tree closest to the one he was in. It wasn't that far away, and he was pretty good with his balance. He might actually be able to do this. If not, Balerion would be furious at him, once he healed from the injuries that falling would cause. He looked over at the young woman next to him. He sooo wanted to know her name. He'd do it. He'd do almost anything if it would get him her name, though he didn't want to admit to himself why that was. "Alright. You're on. Are there any rules with this kind of a race or are we just going to go?" She seemed confident. She was probably really good at "tree hopping" as she called it. Aww well, he was a fast learner. Hopefully this wouldn't be too painful. AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT

She kept her eyebrow perked up as he repeated the words, contemplating whether or not to take her offer. When he finally agreed, she brought her hands together to clap, making sure to steady herself with just her feet for the moment. "All right. First one to the lake wins," she replaced her hand on the trunk beside him and pointed with the other, due northeast. "If you touch the ground you have to climb back up," she explained, dropping her hand to look at him once more. "Don't be trying to knock each other out of the trees, either. As much fun as that sounds," she chuckled, "I'd rather not break any bones tonight. Deal?" she held a hand out, an offering for him to shake on it. She kept her eyes on his, her gaze intense and her smile wicked. If there was one thing Amelie loved the most, it was winning. Jacob Kennington

Jake's eyes narrowed as he watched the young woman point to where they were headed and explain the rule. What was is about her? He couldn't explain it but he needed to learn her name. He was almost positive she was very good at tree jumping, where he'd never done it before. He was probably in for a rude awakening, but he was willing to do anything to try and get her to tell him her name. If he didn't get that, how would he ever find her again? And Jake was sure that he wanted to see her again. "Deal," he said, hoping that he wouldn't break his bones as he tried this tonight. Still, the risk was worth it. Probably. Hopefully he was as quick on his feet as he thought he was. Or he would definitely break something. "Now how are we going to say go and make it fair?" he asked confidently. AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT

She shifted in the tree, preparing to hop toward the next one as he spoke. "I'll say it. Just get ready," she said. Once he had shifted, she glanced at him with a mischievous grin. "You know, you're pretty cute," she said before suddenly leaning over and planting a kiss on his cheek. Then she face forward again as if everything was totally normal, which to her it was! "Ready... set.... go!" she called, pushing off right after the word came out of her mouth toward the next tree. She leapt forward, swinging on a branch in order to launch herself into the neighboring tree. She kept moving, laughing loudly at random moments and not bothering to turn and see if he had been keeping up...
(I think I'll have her fall and then you can win XD)

Jake watched her intently, waiting for her to speak. She was beautiful and seemed fun too. He was excited to see how this would turn out. "Oh, I'm ready for anything," he said when she told him to get ready. Then she told him that he was cute and he froze for a moment, hardly able to believe that she thought that. Then she was off. Jake waited a moment and watched how she jumped, swinging on a branch and letting go at just the right spot so she shot off into the next tree. He nodded, thinking that that shouldn't be too hard. He grinned and took off himself, excited at the new adventure. "You be careful up there, cause I'm gonna pass you in just a minute. Don't let me surprise you too much." He took off and followed her through the trees, finding the exercise of jumping from one to another more invigorating than exhausting. Why had he never tried this before, it was fabulous! He laughed loudly, calling to the young beauty in front of him. "I'm getting good at this," he boasted. AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT (haha to tell the truth, Jake would be more likely to stop and make sure she's alright before finishing the race ... I love it!)
