Leeroy took note of this, and it annoyed him. He thought they needed to get their feelings out there already, then he got an idea. There was a girl who lived nearby who had a few instruments. He'd befirended her and came to her place often to listen to her sing and play music. Perhaps what he needed to do was sarande the two with some music to get the mood flowing. He ran up into a tree and from there leapt onto a roof and ran off to her home, already spying her well lit balcony.

((Since both your characters are asleep Chrysm, I thought I'd provide opportunity for you to have another that could be in the scene. Hope no one minds. >w>))

(I would prefer to keep the characters I have. I don't want to do too many.)

((Well I just wanted to make sure you had a character that was actually in this scene, since it could take a while and your characters are asleep atm. Sorry, I guess I'll just move on.))

After a few minutes of silence a lute could be heard being played. Leeroy was nowhere to be found, but he was hiding in a nearby tree with a lute he'd borrowed from his female friend. He played a slow and deep tuned song to really set the mood for the two silent love birds.

(I don't mind being out of the picture atm. With all the moving, it may be better)

OOC: Sorry for not posting...

IC: "You're beautiful," Justin said. It was a clumsy first strike, but at least it was out there. He didn't say it in his usual confident way. He said it the way a scared boy admits the truth. He finally managed to bring himself to eye contact with her.

Mrs. Brisby blushed. She had suspected he liked her, and she knew she liked him, but that was forward. "Th-Thank you," she stuttered.

"Listen, Mrs. Brisby, I... I know you're lonely, and... I'm not the kind of man to rob graves. Jonathan was my best of friends, but I... I care about you now more than anything," Justin said.

"I... I care about you too, Justin..." she replied. She scooted closer to him then. She didn't like being alone, and Justin was alone as well. In that moment, she sensed why she cared about him. Justin could, in her mind, never replace Jonathan, but he was as brave and kind, and in some ways he was akin to Jonathan in personality. He put his arm around her then.

"How... how long have you waited to admit that?" he asked, maybe to forwardly.

"Since we first met," she said. "And you?"

"The same," he said. "I love you..." he said, but his words hung on a pause. "You know... all this time I've called you Mrs. Brisby, being formal, but I must ask, what is your first name?"

"Teresa," she said. "My oldest daughter is named after me. And I love you too Justin," she said, getting up. "I'm glad... I'm glad you're here, and that I'm here to." She walked inside, needing to sleep. He watched her go and suddenly, as soon as she was out of sight, he let his guard down and stood up, looking into the air with a greatly pleased sigh. His smile was broader than it was usually, even though he often smiled.

He looked up at the stars then, searching for the Twins, Jonathan's favorite constellation of stars. "Jonathan, It's... It's alright... Isn't it?"

And so, the night claimed the sun, and the moon road it's course, and the dawn returned the morning star to its throne in the east...

ooc: It's fine. ^^

Timothy woke up and decided to get some fresh air, sneaking out so as not to wake anyone. When he got outside the sun greeted him brightly, and it took some time for his eyes to adjust to it. When he did he noticed Leeroy was out on a single rock in the river. He seemed to be meditating with he way he was sitting. Timothy took a deep breath and decided to sit at the edge of the river and watch him. Leeroy slowly rose up and took a tai0chi stance. Not wanting to risk interrupting him, Timothy just watched silently while he waited for everyone else to wake up.

Martin got up and stretched for the morning and then got dressed. He walked out, wondering what the first real day of training would bring. He walked out to see Timothy watching Leeroy and sat beside him to watch the strange rat in his meditation.

Justin woke up, still groggy from sleep and began to bath, then dress and armor himself for the day. He stopped and looked in the tiny shard of glass that served as his mirror and realized that he needed to arranged his hair. He found himself combing it and realized that it looked, for a moment, how Jonathan's looked at one time. He re-combed it and shook off the thought then and stepped outside, taking in the air. He wondered then how Mrs. Brisby was.

Gray woke up his pack of mice and kept them moving again, not giving them more rest than they needed. He was driven to get them to Thorn valley. The world around them was so different than before. It was beginning to feel quiet and empty. He didn't know why, but for three days now, they'd seen no humans. They'd not yet entered another town, but still, even a car along this road was normal by now. He put it from his mind then, still repeating to himself, "Almost home."
