"I'm troublesome," lucien laughed as he sheathed his sword and placed it at his side "you think that i am the troublesome one." Sitting down next to the fire he smiled towards rhianwen "Before i lost the will to fight i fought to make myself stronger than the demon that killed my brother, to avenge his death. But now i guess i have no reason to be a hunter anymore except to provide for my family that i hope to have one day."

"I don't think. I know you are a troublesome one." Rhianwen remarked, leaning back against a tree and staring at the fire. "I see, good enough reasons I supposse. But until you find yourself a family, what will you do? Will you still accept a job of hunting if you are payed?"
The flame haired maiden tossed a twig into the fire, shaking her head. "Half demon. I'm a halfling, a hanyou, Half demon, half human. Like you....Like you and those who hunted me and my parents...."

"I am sorry if i insulted you but until today i was unsure of if it was a demon or a human that had killed my brother." Lucien laughed "til today i had thought that then come to find out its both." Looking towards rhianwen he smiled "I will do what i must to survive and provide enough money to outfit my self, if i don't keep my equipment at its prime it will kill me." Bowing his head slightly "I was thinking of opening a school to teach those younger than myself the right way to be a hunter but according to you i don't even know how to do that."

"Hmn....yes...I am both......I am curious, how did you know of the pendant I wore?" Rhianwen watched Lucien, silent for a moment. "I don't think you don't know, I just hate hunters. I see no reason for hunting save for food, supplies, and to defend. Hunter's are easily corroptible, as are most any other human."

Lucien smiled and took a page out of his book, "This is how i knew of your jewel," showing her an exact duplicate of the jewel in malchior's pen, "This was my brothers hunters guide until he died." Looking over at her deciding to answer the rest of the questions "Well men may be corruptible, how ever most full blooded demons not only carry a heavy price they also carry fame and pure evil. Most full bloods corrupt human hunters into defending them, that is why i hunt them mainly to prevent the demonic corruption of my friends."

Rhianwen looked at the skilled sketches in the hunter books of the brothers, tempted to read the comments, but she would wait until he was alseep. Leaning back against her trees, she shook her head at his words. "Of course demons are corruptible as well as a human, and yes, many low level demons act more visciously and uncontrollably than animals, but there are plenty of demons that have personalities besides killing and eating. I do not know where yoiu are getting your information from, but I sugest if you want to know about a demon's world, you speak to a demon or a halfblood. Demons are fallen angels, at least that is where they originally were born from. Throuought time, other types emerge and new breeds are formed, some animals, some like humans. higher, sophisticated, true pure demons have minds, consciouses, and intelligence. Yes, many are impure, have vile forms, and many prey on humans if humans come close to them, but that is not all they are."

Rhianwen shook her head. "Demons can be good, demons can be bad. They can also be nuetral Most I knew didn't care one way or the other and neither went out of their way to be cruel or to be overly kind and gentle. My father understood demons were not all monsters, he saw they have hearts as well, granted, many of them become dark and cold and cruel in heart over the years, but that isn't always true. He met my mother and confirmed his theories, realizing we are not as viscious and bloodthirsty and mindless as you humans percieve us as being."

"I never said demons were blood thirsty, just controlling which a lot now a days are." Lucien stood up and walked away then turned to face her "So your dad came into the forest? Alone?" walking back to sit next to rhianwen he placed his arm around her pulling her close so that she could feel his heart beating while he talked to her.

Rhianwen shrugged. "Many think we are though. As for my father, I believe he was a soldier for the palace at first, then was sent to eradicate a demon sighting. He couldn't bring himself to kill her, and became friends before he finally decided to marry her." Before she could speak any more, the male had her in his arm, pulled close against his chest, making Rhianwen freak out a bit. "W-what are you doing?" she askedm, squirming in discomfort as she tried to push him off, shivering at being touched so familiarly.

"I was trying to show you that i understand how your father felt about not being able to kill a demon. Even though my reason may be different it seems that i am learning a lot from you." Lucien didn't let go though he held her tighter eventually pulling rhianwen onto his lap. "See now this won't kill you since i'm here, you are on my lap and my weapons are over there." Lucien turned red as he felt her warmth warm his cool lap.

Looking at rhianwen's current form lucien couldn't help but smile, "I know i shouldn't think that this form is cute but it is, and what do you mean my reason? If you are talking about why i understand your father it is because of how beautiful you are." looking towards the fire he placed a hand on rhianwen's back and gently stroking very cautiously.
(sorry it took so long my family lost internet so i had to wait till it was paid for again.)

"Falling for what, just because i complimented you on how you looked you think that is all i see." picking her up and placing her down on the ground, lucien looked right at her face "I know that when a demon speaks to someone in their mind they can read that persons thoughts," looking at her he thought of how he cared for her and how he admired her for her skills, strength and cunning.

Lucien sighed then looked at rhianwen, "If you must know i respect you for your abilities, you provided me with the hardest chase yet. Not once had i met a demon who would wait for three hours just to escape from me. If we had just met under different circumstances maybe i would have been able to sit and talk to you with more respect and less admiration." Breaking eye contact he continued "maybe i would have been able to have seen you as a friend and not a potential" stopping his words quickly lucien stood up and went to his pack, removing a tattooing kit to tattoo his arm "Please if i may have you place a paw on my arm?"

Looking back at rhianwen and reaching out lucien offered his forearm "It is for a tattoo, and the potential is for a loving caring relationship." smiling he looked at her he cut his forearm so that the paw print would stay long enough for him to tattoo it on his forearm. "I really mean the relationship part," as he waited for the paw press, he pulled out his hunters guide and tossed it into the fire, "that is the past for me."

"The tattoo is to serve as a reminder for me of the first time a demon actually took the time to make me realize that i may be doing the wrong thing." Lucien lifted his good hand to the side of rhianwen's cheek then leaned closer to kiss her but stopped short "Its up to you if you would like a kiss but just so you know if you do take one from me it will be harder to get rid of me and i vow to you now before you decide that i have given up my old ways, all that remains is the part that wants to hunt for provisions." smiling a little when he felt his heart quicken being so close to her.

Rhianwen looked into his eyes, seeing and sensing no sign of a lie, and her eyes grew watery....she didn't think she'd find truth. Wiping the begginings of a tear away, she finally allowed herself to smile, swallowing hard and burning red as he drew close, touching her tenderly. "I...You did that...just for me? Why? And..I...I don't know how to kiss....."
Stamering as she tended to do when nervous or sad, Rhianwen contemplated actually kissing him. Would she like it? Was he good? Would he be upset if she wasn't? Did she think she wanted a kiss? her head was spinning and her heart was drumming in her chest.

"A kiss is a very simple thing," looking past rhianwen lucien took her head into his hands and simply stated "It goes something like this" leaning in he quickly kissed her and his heart felt as if it would jump out of his chest. He closed his eyes then moved his hands to her back and pulling her into him as he kissed her. "See now that wasn't so bad" as he pulled away after the kiss and took hold of her hand.

"Rhianwen are you ok" looking into her eyes lucein noticed her stroking his hand, he smiled then leaned in and kissed her cheek. "Well what are you feeling?" he smiled again then watched the night sky, "Do you look up at the sky ever?" he couldn't control himself as he kept asking her things. "I'm sorry for asking you so many things after what happened."
