Characters involved: Taye & Miyrr.

Salamandastron: Level Two

Exiting the training room with a towel draped over his head and shoulders, Taye's moving with a certain amount of stiffness but nonetheless he's grinning. Another recruit exits just behind him, and pats Taye on the back as he passes before disappearing across the hall into the dormitories.

Miyrr walks out of the Dormitory Hall still a little damp from cleaning up from the days activities. Clean uniform, well groomed and smelling of the soap. The bandaged from her woulds are no longer present except for one, the eye. She stops in the doorway when she sees Taye enter the chamber. "Evenin' Taye." she says with a song in her voice.

At Miyrr's voice, Taye's ears perk, forming a two-pronged tent out of the towel on his head. His grin broadens. "Miyrr, 'ey."

Miyrr take a few steps closer to Taye, "Notice anything different?" she asks with a big grin on her face looking up into his eyes.

Taye looks closely at Miyrr, his eyes squinting in thought. Shortly, though, his smile returns. "Yer more pretty than evah." This isn't a question, just a statement of the facts as he sees it. However, he does notice something else, and he adds this equally happily. "And yer bandages're gone!"

the tips of Miyrr's ears turn red and she blushes. "Aw, thank you and yeah the bandages are all gone, well not counting the eye. It's still gots some healing to do. They may move it to a patch instead of a bandage soon though so it would look so odd. So, how ya doing, hun? " As she's speaking she puts her arms around him and holds him for a moment. Sweaty or not she really doesn't care.

Taye reaches up to swipe the towel off his head before Miyrr hugs him. He wraps his arms around her in return, though he tries not to get her too sweaty. "I'm good..." He definitely can't complain.

Miyrr lets go of him and takes a step back. "So, looks like you've been having some fun? good workout?" she asks with an almost smirky grin. "I was thinking of grabbing some dinner, want to go get cleaned up and join me?"

The sudden growling of his stomach should be answer enough to her offer, but he nods nonetheless, looking only slightly sheepish at the stomach gurgle. "Aye, sure. Lemme jus' run up t' the baths 'n' I'll be down t' meetcha." He ducks his head forward and pecks her on the cheek before taking a step back and turning for the stairs.

Miyrr smiles at the kiss. "Good, I'll meet you in the dining hall." Ah, dinner does sound good although Taye's company is even better.

Salamandastron: Dining Chamber

• -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Salamandastron *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

This is the dining chamber for the mountain of Salamandastron. It is a

veritable cavern, the necessity of feeding so many hares making the room

so big. Dominating the room is a huge banquet table made of solid oak.

Nobeast knows how such a venerable object came to be here, but its

presence is undeniable. Smaller tables skirt the outside of the room,

each sitting near a large torch burning brightly in its sconce. The chair

at the head of the table is different from the plain maple chairs that

occupy the rest of the room - it belongs to the Badger Lord. The massive

object is graced with a carving of the very mountain it is in, with the

sun setting over the sea.

Miyrr is sitting down at one of the "smaller" tables. She's got a plate with a scone some jelly and a few bits of raw veggies. She looks over at the doorway frequently as if waiting for someone. Of course tat someone is Taye but who knows... ;)

A lot of minutes and frequent looks by Miyrr pass before a rather fresh-looking and nicely-groomed Taye appears in the doorway. He looks a little less stiff than he did on exiting the training room. It takes him less than a handful of seconds to spot Miyrr, but with a paw, he makes a detour over to the serving table first. When he crosses to Miyrr's table and sits, his plate is piled high.

Miyrr nibbles on a piece of the scone that was on her plate. "So, how was training today?" I was cleared today to start "light" training whatever that is. I'm sure doing better then when I came in." She's a lot more talkative too...

Taye quickly makes a carrot disappear. "Trainin' was good... Actually startin' t' get the hang o' boxin'. I won at a match with that buck I left the trainin' room with." Grin-grin. "Ya get t' start trainin' again, huh? That's great!"

Finishing off the bite of scone. "Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it. I've been down way too long. You know that grumpy healer that gave me my physical? Funniest thing, she ended up being the best one to help work out the knots in my muscles. 'Thought she was trying to break me in two a few times there." She's all smiles and really isn't here to eat.

Taye takes a bite of scone, but finishes chewing before he responds. "Well... 'least it helped, eithah way." He's going to have to be extra nice to that healer now, though. "Anyway, feelin' like yer breakin' in two is 'charactah buildin'." It's clear by the way he says this that he's quoting someone much older and more pompous. Hehe.

Miyrr shrugs her shoulders. "I guess so, at least I'm limber enough tah run a bit. Boxing eh? What else fun have I been missing?" She takes a bit of carrot and tries in vein to eat it quietly.

Taye grins a bit, "Well... the boxin's not strictly part o' our trainin'. I've just been doin' that on the side t' try 'n' work on m' combat skills. We've been doin' a lot of inside stuff... learnin' about trackin' 'n' stuff, lotsa books readin'. Ya know, since we're not allowed t' leave the mountain 'n' all."

Miyrr nods, "The healers have been making sure I do the readin'. I thought they were jsut tryin to keep me busy wo I wouldn't over do it." Still can't leave...

Taye shakes his head. "Nope - they were just keepin' ya up on things. Ya learn anythin' interestin'?" He asks this ruefully, having suffered the same fate as she, except that he could actually escape it via other forms of training, in the meantime.

Miyrr shakes her head, "Not really, I'm gonna need to read it over again. Was too...distracted." yeah, by some tall good looking buck. ;)

Taye grins widely. "Well, in the meantime, I've had the pleasure o' memorizin' all the majah trails 'n' areas of the western shores. In othah words, 'm /really/ good at readin' the same map ovah 'n' ovah again."

Miyrr laughs loudly, "Well that's something. I really do need to catch up. Oh, you said your testes were coming up, any idea when?" she asks fidgeting with the last of the food on her plate. Miyrr scratches at the edge of the bandage over her eye. "Dern thing is itching like crazy." she says with a sigh. "I was going to ask you. Is it normal for the older bucks to tease the younger ones...roughly?"

Taye's ears dip apprehensively at this question. "... Why d'ya ask?" He shrugs. "Er... I dunno. I guess. A little."

Miyrr looks to see who's about. "Eh, it's just someone I ran into has been getting razzed by a couple of older bucks. Not sure I wanted to say anything about it. You know, dosen't want attention called to him." she says hoping that doesn't give too much information away.

He's nodding, but he's nodding very slowly. Because he's thinking. Who does he know that Miyrr knows...? But apparently he's not going to guess. "Well... some o' the oldah bucks c'n be a little tough on the youngah or sma-... er. Smelly ones. 'Course the smelly ones." Er, right. He shrugs lightly. "'Tis always about who's strongah 'r who's at the top o' the class."

Miyrr hmms, "Guess so. We are being trained to fight and all that. guess it's just part of the show." she pushes her plate aside. "I imagine tomorrows going to be a long day being back to training and all."

Well, long day or not, Taye looks happy that Miyrr will be back in training with him from now on. All the same, "Jus' make sure ya don't push yerself too hard, yeah? I wouldn't want ya t'... y'know. Hurt yerself again." He ducks his head, nibbling on a scone.

Miyrr smiles at Taye. "Yeah, It's gonna be hard not to though. I really enjoyed my run today. It was short and just around the halls..." she yawns. "I really should get myself to sleep. Thank you for the company. I really enjoyed the time with you tonight."

Taye stands up as Miyrr mentions sleep, and offers a paw to her. "I'll escort ya back t' the dorms."

Miyrr stands up as well and takes Tayes paw. "That would be lovely." she says as she looks about to room to make sure no ones watching. She gives Taye a kiss, this time not on the cheek. Just a quick peck...testing the waters. She turns to the doorway still holding onto his paw.

For a few seconds following the kiss, Taye just kind of... stares. But after a few seconds he resurfaces, and begins moving towards the door. He doesn't say anything more to Miyrr, but instead grins in a dazed fashion as they head out.
