Her fingers traced every line of the tattoo. Emily was fascinated with the extreme detail of the intricate design. She also noticed how smooth the girl's skin was as her exploring fingers wandered across it.

Silence was one thing Raven didn't like, it let her mind wander over her memories many of which had been bad unfortunately for her; her subconscious wasn't very kind and over eighty percent of her dreams were nightmares.

"The Piercing in my ears for these bands hurt longer than the tattoo believe it or not."

she said simply to break the painful silence that had began and only lasted for a few moments; a few moments too long for Raven a slightly cold sweat had already developed on her forehead.

"Really? I can't even imagine how long this took..."

Emily couldn't resist. She slowly leaned in and sniffed Raven, taking in her scent. She smelled very nice...

"Had to go six times once for the outlines of the center piece once for the outline of the dragons then for the coloring had to let it heal after each time took about half a year to finish fifteen hours thirteen minutes of work."

Raven didn't quite notice that Emily was smelling her. she didn't bother to look either if she had she certainly would have asked about it. Another piece of apple coated it caramel was collected and tossed into raven's mouth she was half ready to skip the apple and just start earing the caramel but, didn't want to seem rude or disgusting to this new friend.

Emily straightened up and wrapped her arms around the girl.

"You poor girl... that must have hurt you so much..."

Now Emily's actions were begining to surprise Raven she'd simply glance back and nod.

"Well it hurt, had to sleep on my stomach for seven months but, it was my choice to do it. The pain wasn't forced and I'm glad I did it too otherwise I wouldn't have pushed my limits."

She'd just smile now wondering if Emily planned to let go soon or if perhaps she'd misjudged the girl and she was some sort of trap.

Slowly Emily let go and went back to her spot on the quilt. She ate another piece of chocolate covered apple and looked into the sky...

She returned to the sky as well eying a cloud blinking slightly looking into her book's back pages then up at the cloud again.

"That cloud's a good omen, usually means safety just wanted to make sure I was right... looks like a squirrel with an hazel nut."

she'd mention before hollowing out a piece of apple and scooping as much caramel as it would hold and eating it savoring her favorite sweet.

"Mmm, I love hazelnuts..."

She lay back on the quilt, no longer supporting herself with her arms.

"Yeah... great flavor to em makes pretty good coffee too if not slightly bitter."

She'd know coffee very well, it was practically her life force.

"yeah, that is tasty..."

She motioned for Raven to sit back down next to her.

Raven moved her bad and readjusted her shirt to cover the tattoo again before deciding to lay down next to Emily to stare at the clouds with the caramel near by of course. her softest bag and jacket used as a pillow.

"Love nature even with allergies and all that."

Emily stared into the blue sky, occasionally glancing over at the cute girl laying next to her. In the back of her mind, something was telling her that she should make a move...

After a few moments of staring into the sky in silence She'd squirm uncomfortably. a Shiver passing down her spine from one of her endless supplys of memories. She'd use a memory of her book to take her mind off it, just another simple spell nothing that would even be noticed though the faint smell of nature became just a tad more noticeable, not quite what she had wanted. the spell she was trying was to clear her sinuses so she could breath a bit better right now.

since I got here these things don't work right.

she thought to herself hands moving to rest behind her lower back supporting her waist.

"You mean your, um, magic spells?"

She sat up a little curiously looking at Raven.
