ADOBE SLATS — p

[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px solid #000000; width: 440px;][justify][size=7pt]What was she doing? Kate found herself wandering all the way out to where Dean was to see him off, and she couldint seem to figure out why. Was it her strong impulse to be polite to others? Well... it may have been a part of the reason, but the biggest reason was the fact she was attracted to this mysterious stranger. As much as Kate hated to admit it, she found him very handsome and wanted to see him one last time. He doesn't know your here. Take this opportunity to leave before he notices you standing here like an idiot. But this didn't happen. She watched carefully as Dean picked some Thyme for his bag of possessions. [b]"Hey." She spoke up then, regretting it as soon as she opened her mouth. "If you'd like some herbs for your traveling, I have a garden you can take some from. And I have some really delicious raspberries and strawberries you can take as a snack."

[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px solid #000000; width: 440px;][justify][size=7pt]Kate was delighted he accepted his offer, though she did her best to remain cool and collected on the outside. It was a hard task for such a small rabbit to do on her own. [b]"Yeah, I'm Kate. And I remember you're Dean. It's quite the interesting sounding name, it'd be hard to forget it." She smiled, trying to stride with an air of confidence in front of him as she lead the way to the garden. "I remember seeing all that stuff you're carrying with you. Looks like you're a busy guy." She turned her head to look back at him, eyes gleaming with curiosity. "What do you do while you travel?"

[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px solid #000000; width: 440px;][justify][size=7pt]Kate was quick on her feet and was very careful herself. She knew what she was doing and would make sure Dean didn't hurt her accidentally. Road tripping with his brother? Oh how her heart yearned for such an exciting life. She wished more then anything her sisters were still alive so she could do something along those lines; travel the world and learn new things. Of course, Kate had no idea Dean's true intent in his traveling, and if she did she'd probably be singing a different tune on the matter. [b]"That sounds like quite the life you have there." She commented, her eyes full of warmth and appreciation. "I wish I could hear all about your adventures. I already know you've seen a lot more thing than i've ever been able to." She continued along, quiet for a moment or two before her ears perked at his question. "Oh! Well, I started the garden on my own to make sure I had enough to eat in the clan. It's hard finding food when you eat fruit and vegetables and pretty much everyone else eats meat. But now I also use it for growing herbs because I was recently promoted to a medic intern." The rabbit stated rather proudly.

[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px solid #000000; width: 440px;][justify][size=7pt][b]"Don't worry, we're almost there." Kate assured, and sure enough they'd have arrived at the small little garden the rabbit tended to all on her own. It wasn't anything impressive, there wasn't much one person could do with limited supplies, but there was plenty enough. There was a section for what appeared to be fruits and vegetables, and another for medicinal herbs that were divided by a tiny patch of grass. "Feel free to take as much as you'd like, whatever you'd like." She welcomed before sitting herself down in an almost proper lady like manner, keeping her distance as she watched a few butterflies nearby. After a while, in what time was assumably when he began to pick what he needed, she finally spoke up. "You know, I'm really going to miss having you around. It's... very refreshing to meet someone like you." The rabbit wasn't sure how often this man might have heard this being told to him. "Any man or woman would be lucky to travel along side you and explore the world." She shuffled her paws, and looked down for a moment or two before speaking up again. "Would you be able to come and visit some times?" She felt stupid letting these words escape from her mind and be spoken out loud. She felt like she was starting to sound ridiculous to him now.

[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px solid #000000; width: 440px;][justify][size=7pt]Kate was genuinely surprised. With how interesting the man was, how did he have so little people wanting to get to know him better? He was a complete package; handsome, tough, he had that whole bad-boy vibe to him and he had this huge mystery revolving around him that drew you in asking questions. Maybe he travels too much to get to know people well. She thought to herself, frowning at the thought for a moment. [b]"That's great--! I mean. I am sure Windclan would be glad to open our doors for you any time." Smooth, Kate. Real smooth. "Maybe I could meet you half way some places. Bring you some herbs and snacks from my garden and check up on you. I'm sure with all of that..." She eyed the curious pouch he carried around with him that she'd caught a glimpse of some of the contents of. "... Adventuring you do you'll need someone to make sure you're cleaning up your cuts and bruises. And maybe just a good friend in general." Don't be ridiculous, Kate. I'm sure his brother looks after him well enough. She scolded herself, but by now it seemed like she was grasping for straws. She wanted to keep in touch with Dean very much so and get to know him better. Kate, as much as she didn't want to admit it, was like an open book with her emotions at times. It was very clear that Kate was developing a tiny crush on the demon hunter. But it was also clear she was intrigued -- that she wanted to know what kept this man tied down. It must have been something exciting!
