He heard a commotion and he sat up, looking to the window. He ran to it and saw her in the muck, then he picked up his pants, slipped them on and ran down to her, running around to the back and he got to her, kneeling by her, "Zye, what are you doing?"

"Just lying in the muck, nothing new."
She grimaced, and got up. Her face was red from scraping on the bricks, and she noticed her gold coin pouch was stil lup on the top ledge when she glanced up.
"I'll be back in a moment."
She found an easier way to her pouch from the ivy poles, tand grabbed it before sliding down again.
Why hadn't I thought of the poles before?

He looked at her face, " That looks nastey, how about you come inside and I'll clean it up for you before you have yer grand adventure, eh?"

"No, no, I'll be fine..."
Zye said, careful not to touch her stinging face.
"Besides, it'll fade away in a day or two, anyway. Hehe."
She tied her gold pouch around her sword, glad she didn't have to carry two of them now.

He sighed, "Very well..." he looked at her feet in the mud and he wiggled them, "I guess, I'll leave ya to that..." as he turned to leave, then stopped. "You left that bag... did you not?" he turned his head to her.

Zye looked away, blushing. She turned back, knowing it wasn't seeable under her scars.
"Yea. Your door was locked, so I broke in the window. Though I wish I would had seen the ivy poles sooner..."

He stared at her for a while, then he looked to his bare feet. "Well... I hope you find him... good luck. If you need me, I'll be in the local tavern. He smiled and turned to leave.

"Wait. Find him? Who's 'him?"
Zye crossed her arms, wanting and expecting another answer.

He stopped and turned fully to her, "That lucky man who'll win yer heart." Then, he waited for her witty, sarcastic remark.

And Zye gave him it.
"Oh sure, I'll do just as I said earlier. I'll try every man and see how their sex is. Thenthe one with the best wins my heart."
She rolled her eyes.
"You know, I'm not like those other girls. Personally, I like it if they're kind to me, not if they're slobbering idiots who just want the girl. I don't know about you, Ryhe, but I'm probably going to wait out another one-hundred years of lonely nights to find the right guy. i'll wait three-hundred years If I have to. Love has no time limit. And if there is one, mine hasn't run out yet, and your's hasn't, either."

He looked to the ground and nodded, " A few hours ago, I would have told you other wise... but my own heart was stolen a while back." he looked to her and smiled.

Zye stared at him, once more curious.
"Who?"
She asked, grinning.

He grinned back, "The woman I've spent the last hour with, who else?"

"Technically, you've pretty much spent the last hour with yourself. Unless there was a woman in your bed I didn't notice when I gave you the gold..."
Zye didn't catch on, thinking. she was still stuck on the fact his heart was stolen by someone.

"Pardon, last few hours exculding the last." he thought, then he chuckled. "You, silly..."

Zye was still thinking before Ryhe said 'you'. She looked up, sort of in shock.
"M...me? R...really?"

He nodded very slowly. Very very slowly. He smiled weakly, hoping she would react badly.

Zye turned, blushing.
"But...er...there has to be some other woman that was beside you the whole time. I mean, I was blind and deaf, and she could have been right next to you. Or floating..."

He shook his head, "There was only you and me..." he looked to the ground, fear welling up in his large chest. Mebbe she already had a husband, mebbe she wanted to stay single... but most of all, if they did get together, will he stop loving her suddenly, like with Rae?

Zye stared at him.
"You mean...you mean you love me?"
She stuttered, her jaw dropping a little. She then continued talking without an answer.
"Well, isn't that, erm, unorthodox. Or ironic..."

His ears lowered and he nodded again. He smiled lightly as he looked up at her, "Scratch that... go on with yer life and find the right man, okay?... S-see ya around, perhaps..." he smiled thinly and turned, heading back to the front of the in.

"No, wait Ryhe!"
Zye said, trying to stop him.
"I meant ironic because I...I...er...how do I put this in the simplest way possible?"
She sighed.
"Ryhe, what I'm trying to say is that I...err...like you, too, and..."

Ryhe looked back, he looked shocked as well. He smiled, then frowned, turning away. "It's still no use..." He started walking again, his eye closed

"And I don't want you to leave..."
She finished, looking up to him.
"I just don't. I like you being around, and I like you talking to me. You were nice to me, everyone else would have just ignored me or laughed at me because of what had been wrong with me.."

Ryhe looked back, "I like having you around too... but... I'm not sure how to hold love... my last wife left because for some reason... I just stopped loving her... I dunno what happened... it just happened... I don't want it to happen again..."
