Melou has put the maps away for today, happy enough with what work he did get done on them yesterday before Melehan ruined his mood. But he's not thinking about that right now. He has a date of sorts

She's coming, she's coming!

She's pulling on a light jacket as she comes outside, and kisses his cheek when she comes over. "Sorry I took so long."

It's chilly and November-y, and she's not quite used to it yet, but it's still rather nice out. Sunny.

[angela_edmunds]

"I think that might be a long shot," she says softly. "Why Ireland? Are they going to give you problems as well?"

[dragon_twin]

"Not so much anymore, it's just the principle of the thing." He looks back at her and grins. "Ships are an idea. Just don't know how to get that to come about either."

[angela_edmunds]

Angela nods. "I guess it depends on if anyone you ask to fight with you has a shipyard." It all seems very iffy and uncertain.

[dragon_twin]

"We do, but that's something my Uncle's in charge of. Cornwall will." And that's something to be left until spring.

Finally, he pushes another branch away to show the clearing he and Angela met in once, shortly after her first trip to Wales.

[angela_edmunds]

She smiles. "I think I remember this place." They hadn't had to use it more than once.

It's different, obviously, when the trees have much fewer leaves, as they do now.

[dragon_twin]

No, they didn't, because they're bad children who don't listen to their elders and do what they want when it comes to seeing each other anyway.

"Yeah, haven't been out here since that time we met here. Curious to see what it looked like now."

[angela_edmunds]

It's rather stark, the trees are huge and there's a thick covering of yellow and orange leaves on the ground. But it's still very quiet, very private, and there are a couple of stones nearby to sit on.

So Angela takes a seat on one of them, looking around. "It's still kinda nice here. Quiet."

She once said that the noise of the bar gave her a headache. The same still holds true.

[dragon_twin]

And Melou, of course, tends to like the incessant buzz of the bar, or of castle life in general. Quiet makes him think.

"Yeah." He kicks some leaves around, enjoying hearing them crunch under his boots. "Probably should have brought stuff for a picnic or something."

[angela_edmunds]

Angela shrugs. "Maybe another time. It'll probably be winter by then, but that might be interesting, too."

She looks up at the sky, a bright blue with no clouds. She's so used to the slight smog that always hung in the sky in L.A.

She smiles for no particular reason.

[dragon_twin]

Which makes him smile and he walks over to her and leans down to kiss the top of her head.

"A winter picnic might be fun."

[angela_edmunds]

She grins up at him. "We could build a fire out here. That's one thing I could do." She grins.

For once, something she learned in Girl Scouts would come in handy.

[dragon_twin]

"You can do that?" He asks, a little surprised, crouching down in front of her and taking her hands to warm them up a little.

[angela_edmunds]

She laughs a little. "Yes. I used to belong to a group that went camping on the weekends and I learned all sorts of things like that, like how to make a lean-to, how to build and maintain a fire, how to cook outside. I did a special course on edible plants and stuff like that."

She looks down at their joined hands and she squeezes them back.

[dragon_twin]

"Really. Well, I'm impressed." And he looks it, too. And then raises his head up for a quick kiss.

[angela_edmunds]

She kisses back, blushing a bit. "Thank you." She smiles gently. "It's good to spend some time with you when I can."
