September 6th - Midday

[Kelly St Luc]

A few days had past since Kelly and Bear had seen each other. Kelly couldn't find exactly what he wanted to buy Bear. It had been on his mind for awhile. As he strolled around the quad he found a pretty orange flower. I think she would really like this. She isn't too much into the whole money thing anyway. He continued his walk with the intention now to find Bear.

[Byrna Cooper]

Bear, of course, was skipping along, coming towards Kelly from the opposite direction.

[Kelly St Luc]

Kelly didn't notice Bear or anyone around at first he was buisy smelling the flower, It even smells nice. What a find! His head was pointed down as he walked with the flower in his hand.

[Byrna Cooper]

Bear stopped, seeing Kelly approach.

Smiling, she stepped to the side, to see what he would do.

[Kelly St Luc]

He was too focused with the flower and the soon to be gesture of flower giving that he walked right by Bear.

[Byrna Cooper]

"Wow. That must be a really special flower."

Bear chuckled, getting Kelly's attention.

[Kelly St Luc]

Startled Kelly almost dropped the flower. His eyes lit up as soon as he recongized the voice, "Bear! I've missed you! Flower? Oh yes, this...This is for you. <"Was very beautiful just like you."> He extened his arm and haned her the flower

[Byrna Cooper]

Bear sighed, politely refusing the flower with her hand.

Time to nip this in the bud.

[Kelly St Luc]

Kelly was confused and his face showed it well...Maybe I should tell her a joke? His stomach queezed, "Um, why did the French man eat only one egg?"

What is going on?

[Byrna Cooper]

Bear was blunt.

"Kelly, we need to talk.. the other night was a mistake."

[Kelly St Luc]

He was stunned, "I...I...Wha...Mistake?...Okay....Um...Is it me? Was I not good enough? Was the flower too much? I can ditch the flower." He tossed it quickly. "Better?" He knew it wasn't.

He wrapped his arms around his waist, pulled his wings in closer, and looked down away from her. When Kelly pulled his wings around him it made him feel safer, more secure; it was like an invisible barrier to him.

[Byrna Cooper]

Bear sighed, afraid of this.

She game him a reassuring hug, making sure there was no sexual undertones with it.

"Kelly, it just wasn't meant to be.. it was the dancing.. and the alcohol. I like you, and I think you're great, but we just aren't right for each other."

[Kelly St Luc]

Kelly nodded silently.

"So I was nothing more then 'a good time'?"

[Byrna Cooper]

Bear chose her words carefully.

"It's not that, Kelly. I hope we both enjoyed ourselves, but it wouldn't always be like that."

[Kelly St Luc]

"I...I showed you my sexy danse, though." he whispered to himself as he saw the flower on the ground.

Kelly looked at her coldly, "Okay, I just kinda wished I knew that it was just a fling. I had feelings for you and now...and now nothing."

He looked at her straight in the eyes, "I'll go my way and you will go yours, right?"

[Byrna Cooper]

Bear sighed.

"Kelly, don't be that way. I treasure my friendships with everyone I know. Especially yours.. I know you're feeling bad right now, but you'd be feeling even worse if this happened months away."

[Kelly St Luc]

I don't think so. In a few months from now? That would be my longest relationship...I'm tired of these one nighters!

"Just not valuable enough to even try me longer then just a test drive," his voice was uncharacteriscly mean.

[Byrna Cooper]

"Kelly, please.."

She knew Kelly was hurt and lashing out, and would need to get it out so they both could move on. She felt terrible herself, but it needed to be done.

[Kelly St Luc]

Kelly sighed, "I'm sorry. It's just that if I knew it was just a joy ride I...I wouldn't being act like such an emo-wreck." His wings went back to thier original postion yet his arms were still wrapped around his mid section.

Wanting to be more mature about the situation Kelly held back some of the other emotions that were being brought up, "I guess this is one of those time and space cures all type of problems?"

[Byrna Cooper]

Bear frowned slightly.

"It doesn't have to be.. I really enjoyed dancing with you, Kelly."

[Kelly St Luc]

Kelly sighed, "Yeah, me too..." Apperently, I like dancing with you more. "I think though for a few days we should just have some space. You know me, in a few days I'll either forget or something." He tried to lighten the mood with a joke about himself.

[Byrna Cooper]

Bear smiled at that.

"Ok. Just take some time, and soon, you'll be back to your good old self."

Bear then turned, walking away before turning her head back.

"I'll see you around, Kelly."

When she turned away, though, there was a sad look accompanied by a tear.
