[The Enclave] Eye To Eye (Luke)

[Alstroemeria]

84th Day of Summer Alstroemeria was making her way to the enclave for her daily job. She expected to see more people, but all she saw was a man, woman, and a child. She pushed the door open fully walking towards her desk quickly. She saw the man look up to her, she smiled at him, a small wave she gave him. His expression was emotionless, she couldn't help but pay attention to him. His aura felt different, she liked it sort of. Who knew? Alstroemeria turned her head to the floor, keeping her head low. As she went to her desk, she opened the chair, then sat on it. She really had nothing to do, therefore she could read a book. Her family book maybe? She didn't know. She quickly walked to her desk, taking her seat. She took her pouch from over her shoulder and placed it on the desk quickly. Opening it, she took out her family book. One she treasured the most and could never live without. It told her everything about her foster family, it even made her feel like she was in a fairytale of some sort. But for once she felt an urge to stare at the man, weird as it was... Something lured her to him. Her chlorine eyes hid at the edge of the huge book as she pretended to read. She made out his physical features, he reminded her of someone she had loved once. Now he is dead because of some medical condition, she couldn't exactly remember. Even if she did, she wouldn't want to talk about it. She saw him meet her eyes for one second, he was amazing. She gave a small smile, looking back into her books. She couldn't believe she actually met someone that she felt something... What was it? Love... Couldn't have been. She could never fall in love, who would love her? She was worth nothing.

When she did look at him and he looked at her his eyes turned friendly and he nods. His eyes went cold again the blue showing though as he focused himself to not think of the attractive red head. He had taken a vow to himself to complete his quest before settling down. This woman needed better than an stay. He liked her, but his mind was sharp and he was stubborn. He desired to see the world and was sure she would not go with him. The worst thing of it he thought was the attraction that cause him to stare slightly at her. She was amazingly beautiful and looked intellegant but what would she want with a human man. Who carried for magic and fighting more than anything. He had enough of both to survive but not to fight any really high rank people. He slowly made his way to her desk and pulled the book away from her face slightly. "Hello beautiful red head. If you don't mind the flattery out of a human man." He could flirt like any man his own age, but he did not know how she would take that. "Do I know you?" he asked as he admired her curls that framed her face just right. He was rarely attracted to anyone and wished to find out if it was serious but was in no hurry to make the jump to commitment. He had much to get done before winter.

[Alstroemeria]

"I don't think we do..." She smiled somewhat placing her book down to actually maintain eye contact. "I'm Alstroemeria." She said holding out a delicate hand therefore he could shake hers. He took her hand with a firm grasp, but made sure he didn't hurt her. She appreciated his delicacy, no man seemed to have such interest in a girl such as herself. He seemed different, interesting in somewhat way and she couldn't take her eyes off of him. He was a human yes, but love always did come in all packages. As her foster mother said herself, a saying Alstroemeria ran by. "And you are?" She smiled somewhat meeting his eyes for a second as they stood still for 20 seconds. She began to blush a bit letting go of his warm touch that just left her with chills down her spine. For once in her life she wasn't a clumsy red headed freak, she was herself. Cool, calm, and collected. Her blush left her white cheeks, leaving them spotless. She smiled again, folding her arm and crossing her legs. He said that his name was Luke and he was a human. Unlike herself she was an inarta. "Well Luke, it was a pleasure meeting you!" She smiled, revealing her perfect white teeh for a second. Closing her mouth into a soft but serious expression she maintained eye contact either way. Had she froze him, despite her looks he was left in awe. A sign of paranoia comes across her face, did he see her as a monster or beautiful? Curse her paranoia. She cut the eye contact for second, beginning to look down then look back up. He was breathing and blinking, therefore she was fine in every way. Her facial expression softened for a bit as her gaze locked with his again. "So darling, how can I help you? She headed straight for the question therefore she didn't have to deal with awkward silence. Something she hated the most, pure silence. For some reason she was attacked with silence, therefore she reverted to something clumsy. Not on purpose though, her body just does these things. It was rather funny in somewhat way because.... Well she looked like a fool and appeared to either be cute or just stupid. Either one worked. She turned her head back down continuing her writing, but then he took his hand and lifted her chin up. She stared right into his beautiful blue eyes. Again locked, in a trance. She couldn't help but pull away because he seemed to have business of his own. He couldn't possibly commit to someone such as herself. Who would want a girl like her? No Alstroemeria, shut up and stop being such a foolShe thought. Her mind babbling as she liked to say, got the best of her. Especially with paranoia, he couldn't be interested in her. She was a freak. Plain and simple.

Luke's chuckle came from deep in his throat he liked the clumsiness cause it still showed that Inarta woman not yet confident in herself but she would become confident enough that she would with time tell him her mind when it came to sticking up for herself and he would admire that. He thought it was cute how she stumbled around trying to find herself in his presence it proved to him that he was man enough for her. "Could you direct me to a weapons master my sweet." his voice sounded in control and business like as he spoke confidently. He winced at her pulling away, but right now he could not distract himself with her presences. He did not know how long he would be in Wind Reach. He only knew what he felt for her he would feel for no other woman. His duties came first and she came later as he waited for his answer as he took off his mother's locket and left it on her desk out of sight until she went looking through the things. He would be gone, by the time she would try to return it. You would meet him and his mother within that locket and see for yourself that with the locket missing from his neck he meant to come back and commit himself someday. He hoped in his heart she would stop him from going alone at things.

[Alstroemeria]

She stared at him for a while, he was leaving? She saw the locket on her desk for second and picked it up in her hands quietly. She opened it with delicacy to see his mother and himself. She smiled for a bit admiring his handsome features. She ran to the door and opened it quickly, peaking her head out. "Luke?" She called out for a second. Puzzled by what he had meant, she saw him in the crowd. He turned around, giving her a small wink. She smiled a bit, holding up his locket. He put his fist to his heart, which symbolized that he would commit to her some time. Just not now. She smiled, waving her hand slowly at him as her white dress flowed in the mild breeze. That day, she met someone unlike any other. Someone who seemed to understand her, but she didn't know anything about him. Love at first sight, it was. And she couldn't wait to meet him again. Because he'll make it feel like this was the first time they meet again. Love felt like that? Or what? What is love?...
