Jake was a little more intrigued by what was bothering Mage when he saw her blush and chuckled a little bit. "Well, if you remember, I have a rather poor memory, so you will have to tell me what you are on about seeing how I have no clue." He said in the best formal voice he could. "I am sure upon hearing what it is, my mind will remember."

(I am. :P)

"Oh... you already forgot....." Mage said still having went back to doing the dishes feeling rather saddened that he had already forgotten what they had just talked about not but maybe 20 minutes before. Maybe it wasn't a good thing to bring up then... maybe he wasn't interested in the thought of having someone close like that.... of really truly liking someone like that. "I guess it's nothing then." she said in nearly a whisper though knew that Jake would be able to hear her.

By this point, Jake had become a little frustrated about the fact he couldn't remember what it was and the fact she wasn't telling him. "Mage." He said standing up. "What are you talking about? Why wont you just tell me what the problem is?" He asked with a rather stern voice. "I want you to tell me what it is that is bothering you." The dragon moved a little closer to her dirrection with a slight frown. "Otherwise I will have to somehow force it out of you."

Manna had finished the dishes by this point and was letting the water out of the sink as she turned and looked at Jake for a long moment before looking down. "Jake... we were just talking about it..." she stared at the ground before taking a deep breath. "Jake, I... I don't just like you as a friend... it's deeper then that... allot... I love you... Okay? There I said it... I love you and I felt hurt that you didn't remember what we JUST talked about outside..." she said softly her face turning a bit red out of embarrassment for saying all that.

((Sorry for the late reply, I have been caught up with writing a book. I will reply soon.))

(it's okay, what kind of book?)

Jake sighed a little as he listened to her and shook his head. "And I am pretty sure you know my memory is still playing up after the tranformation. It should be back to normal in about a week maybe... But now you have reminded me, I may remember it this time." He said chuckling lightly as he walked over to her side and gave her arm a playful poke before putting his nose against hers. "Looks like we both still have a lot to learn about each other." He whispered while looking into her eyes with a small dragonic purr.

((Just a mystical one. :P))

(lol)

manna looked at Jake in his eyes but still felt a little bad... she wanted to be closer to him... she wanted to be more then just friends with him but she wasn't sure if he wanted that or not.

((One question. How has she not noticed he likes her yet? XD))

(well it's like she kinda knows that he likes her but she's unsure because he doesn't really show it... that much, ya gotta think, she's lived alone in the woods for quite some time and only has really ever seen anger and fear from the villagers.

(I guess)

The half dragon chuckled a little noticing her unsureness, he took one guess what it was about and he took his nose off of hers and sighed a little. "I guess that wasn't convincing enough for you... What about this?" He asked giving her a kiss on her lips with a smile before he stepped back a little "Was that enough to spell it for you." He said playfully as his tail was swaying side to side and his wings where unfolded a little.

Manna turned bright red when Jake kissed her and she actually couldn't believe he had done that and it showed. Once she could find her voice again she blushed a little more "Wow..." she said softly still blushing though smiled a little and nodded.

Jake chuckled a bit at her response to the kiss and blushed a little himself. "Good. Now... I expect no more sadness. Okay?" He asked, but he didn't mind about the response as he turned to his room and stretched his body and wings a bit. "I tell you. This form is beginning to become more comfortable the more days that pass."

"Yeah sorry about that... I guess I'm kinda clueless sometimes when it comes to other people." Manna blushed a little then smiled some when he turned and stretched his wings some. She then walked up behind him and gave him a hugg smiling some at his comment. "I actually think you look better as a half dragon." she smiled some easily.

Jake blushed more as he felt Mana hugging him from behind and his wings spread open at the shock, he was not expecting to be hugged by Mana. "Y-You do? Y-You don't find my wings and t-tail irritating when they get i-in the way?" He asked feeling a little shy now.

"No not at all... I think they make you uniek and that's good... well at least I think being different is good." Manna smiled easily having her arms so even with his wings being opened she could still hug him... though if he wanted he could easily pull away and she would let him move.

Jake smiled a little more, that was the first compliment anyone had given him. "That is great. I think I would love to stay this form for the rest of my life now." He said happily embracing the hug as he let his wings relax back to being folded up. "You know, we should do this more often." He said playfully as he wrapped his tail around her waist.

Manna blushed a little again when she heard Jake though smiled some. She then turned nearly red when she felt Jake's tail around her and heard him speak to her making her smile while still blushing a bit. "I agree." she smiled some still blushing a bit.

Jake chuckled more as he let out his dragonic purr again. "Well, we had better get some sleep." He said turning to her in her arms and gave her a kiss before pulling away slowly and then resumed to walk into his room, just before he shut the door he smiled to her. "Good night Mana."

Mana blushed a bit when she felt him kiss her then smiled at him softly as he turned and went to his room "Good night Jake." she said softly then turned and headed to her room blowing out the candles that she had in her room.

(hm... what shall we have happen now?)

((Its your call. :3))

(... hm... I kinda want something dramatic to happen.... but I'm not sure what...)

((What sort or drama?))

(maybe like someone coming to attack Manna or something? Since the villagers really didn't like her?)

((But she got attacked last time. XD))
