It had not taken them much to get used to each other through the span of six months that they had been traveling together after that encounter in the inn, though Vincent usual way to act had not changed at all Rinoa had, really had the dark gunman met her before he wouldn't believe it was the same person. Now Rinoa had twenty two and she had been forced to grow up leaving behind all that made her herself, she had to grow clever and mature to protect herself, she only conserved very few of her old traits just the ones that were useful to her.

However there was something that was changing between them, she could feel it on her being and she knew that he could feel it as well, it was something familiar for them yet something that they were perhaps afraid to acknowledge loudly to each other. Sometimes in silence they had come to an acceptance of what seemed to be starting between them but never out spoken and it was starting to become quite unbearable at least for her.

Once again hazel orbs quietly examined her dark and taciturn travel companion, it was not the first time that she did so and probably it was not going to be the last either, like always he was quiet and quite unaffected with the world around them or so he could let anyone believe but she knew better that he was quite alert of what was going on besides them knowing that Vincent will never lower his guard when he was on watch duty, though she wondered why they needed one when nothing will get close to them.

But still she liked to see him, Rinoa wondered yet once again how her attraction towards him had started, when had she crossed that line once again and how could she had violated her promise to never develop that kind of affections towards anyone not after what happened with Squall, but it was quite truth when people said that you couldn't rule on your heart but she was as hell going to try with all she could…

…That was till he decided to make something about it to lead her on but since it seemed that he was plainly ignoring it she wouldn't do anything. With a defeated sigh she closed her eyes and tried to sleep against the tree she had claimed as her own. Once again the traveling companions were in the wilderness, being unable to reach a small town or anything, a bonfire kept them warm and wild animals at bay but they still insisted on keeping guard on turns, why? She didn't quite know.

When she opened her eyes again she found him looking at her, beyond the bonfire with his usual custom blank look and it felt a pang of awareness through her back and caused her to lower her gaze not wanting to quite see him.

It was not the first time that the gunman found himself watching her, in all truth he had lost count of how many times he had done it but he was not doing something she didn't, he had caught her looking at him when she believed to be doing it secrecy, he was way to experienced and knew more about the world than she, the sorceress was way to young compared to him, that even though not quite visible, he tripled her age so he was bound to know more.

But with all the knowledge he had he still couldn't help but feel curious and drawn to her person, it could not be denied that the young woman had an irresistible charm that very few, if none, could resist and that charm of hers had been a great lifesaver on many occasion, but her charm was not the only thing attracting him to her, the young sorceress was not like any woman he had met in all his life.

She was the two ends of the spectrum in one woman from times to times she could be quite a warm-hearted, free-spirited and gentle but there were times where she could be taciturn, sorrowful and hard, she was all of those things and he had never come across a woman that could act in such a way when she willed it, to have learned to control all of her emotions and use it according to how the situation required it of her, she was quite something.

Out of the blue the young woman finally decided to look up and their eyes met, crimson locking with hazel and it was in that eye meeting that they felt a rather powerful spark going on between them that left them a bit dazzled, Rinoa opened her mouth but soon closed it not knowing what was she going to say to Vincent and instead decided to look away.

It had been a single spark that had just turned their worlds more upside down and jumbled that it had already been.
