Theo smiled just a little, running his hand though her hair gently. "Well, I didn't want you to be in any kind of danger....but I can't have you missing me so badly...besides....I think I'd miss you just as much, if not more."

Casey smiled and kissed him "well... just assign Kirse to be my bodyguard when you can't be there. I want to go with you... I have a feeling that you're going to have some hard times and I want to be there for you... literally, not just in a memory" she said, sealing her words with a kiss.

Theo smiled lovingly and kissed her back both times. "Kirse would be happy to be your bodygaurd."

Casey simply smiled, reached up, and pulled him back to down, she wasn't quite done kissing him. As soon as their lips connected, she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling herself up slightly.

Theo kissed her back enthusiastically. He loved having her there, in his arms, kissing her like this.

Casey found herself lifting her foot off the ground. She leaned into him and let out a soft moan. She was so happy... so relieved that she would be going with him.

Theo responded to her small moan with one of his own, pulling her completely off her feet.

Casey giggled and happily kicked her feet back and forth. She gently wrapped her legs around his middle to support the both of them. She pulled back slightly, opening her eyes and staring at Theo. "Have I told you recently how much I love you?" she asked in a whisper.

Theo grinned when she giggled, he thought it was infinitely cute. Then he smiled up at her and shook his head slightly. "Not for at least five minutes."

Casey giggled and pecked his lips "that's practically an eternity" she commented before leaning in and giving a kiss she poured all of her feeings into. "That's how much I love you. I never want to leave your side. I need you... I couldn't imagine my life without you in it. I'm glad I met you... in those woods... by the lake. Thank you for having the sense to kidnap me so that we could get to know each other" she told him.

Theo kissed her back with a grin, that turned into a happy smile. "You're very welcome."

Casey simply smiled and leaned in for another kiss, just as sweet and passionate as the others.

Theo looked positively happy, from head to toe. He kissed her back, holding her up as he did. He wondered for a moment how long they could stay like this.

The kiss was passionate for a minute or two before Casey pulled away, breathless. "You know... I bet the sunset is a wonderful sight from the waterfall" she suggested softly, resting her forehead against his. she caressed his cheeks with her thumbs for a moment or two before moving them dodwn to his chest. "What do you think?" she asked in a whisper against his lips.

Theo loved the way she kissed him, pulling back slightly to breathe. "Mm...I agree...it is quite breath-taking."

Casey giggled "you mean like your kiss?" she asked in a slightly teasing manner. She kissed him once more before wiggling back down to the ground. She grabbed his hand and laced her fingers through his "well then, let's go. I don't want to miss a single moment of the sunset" she said.

Theo chuckled softly. "Like yours." He kissed her back and chuckled softly as she wiggled down. He gripped her hand slightly and smiled at her. "Yes, love."

Casey smiled and began walking towards the waterfall "I'm glad I'm going with you... I don't know what I'd do if you were gone. It's not that I'm needy or anything... I'd just miss you too much. You're my best friend, the man I love... I'd be terriblly bored. I don't know how I managed to keep myself entertained before I met you" she commented with a smiled.

Theo looked at her a couple time while she talked, a loving smile on his face the whole time. "You know...you're one of the only good friends I've ever had...and the only woman I've ever loved. So....its obvious that I love you're coming with me."

Casey smiled "but what danger would I face? It's not like I'm going to follow you into the actual battle zone. I would've thought that I'd hang around wherever we were staying. What danger do you think I'd face?" she asked.

Theo sighed and looked at her, slightly embarrased. "My family."

Casey make a look of confusion "I don't understand... what's so dangerous about them?" she asked, complertely confused.

Theo grimaced slightly. "They can be a little....overbearing, sometimes very overprotective. My mom may challenge you to a dual or some such nonsense."

Casey blinked "so... basicaly they're like an intense version of my dad... no wonder you weren't intimidated by him. Well... I'll bake a pie or something and win their hearts over, do you think that'll work?" she asked.

Theo looked doubtful for a moment, then shrugged slightly. "It might win my dad. Not so sure about my mom....but you don't have to win her over...Kirse will protect you."
