" Oh, you're with Kristian?" The shop owner smiled as he glanced out the window. " You're a lucky lady to latch onto him. I don't remember him ever bringing another woman around since he moved here, and he's been shopping here ever since." He turned back to her and shook his finger at her. " Now don't you go worrying about a few groceries, young miss. It's the least I could do. And the police never asked about you." He pattted the small b/w television on the corner of the counter.

*grins and then blushes heavily. 'well i'm glad that everything worked out alright. my name's Sierra. seems he's had a death in his kithen. the lid of one of his pots collapsed to the floor and became shattered about the split with the pot .. so much so it just fell to pieces. about a thousand of them. a brief moment of mourning will be at 11 tomorrow .. ' *then with eyes start dancing with the repressed humor.
*the grin grows wider as understanding finally dawning on the shop keeper. then as he starts to chortle a bit she finally grins. 'oh i got a job too. at the animal clinic down the road. figured i'ld let you know that i'll be fine in that regard as well. he's taking me to a club to celebrate my first day of work. so take care of yourself mister, and i hope you like the cookies.' *waves as she heads out the door to wait on the sidewalkand decides at that point to stretch the arms above her hed

" I will. See you around." The shop keeper called after her.
Outside, Kristian leaned against the building. " There, is your concience clear now?" He grinned.

*looks at Kristien for a bit and then grins. 'yeah i do. thanks. he also mourns your recent loss, but in lieu of flowers and other .. ' *then laughs as the mood is broken ... *
'he says I'm the lucky one to latch onto you. i think i'm the lucky one to have met you and know that someone out here in the city isn't all .. stiff and blocked like the buildings. you got a .. something inside you that stops that. i think thats what i like best about you. well that and the voice. that could *looks away to observe the buildings now and lets the thought trail off and then resumes* have you ever noticed the skyline? .. its so ...

Kristian put an arm around Sierra's shoulders as they started to walk. " So you like my poor ilsand boy accent, do you?" He smiled, purposely letting his Jamacian accent drawl. " He lokked at her as they walked," I like you to, Sierra. I'm glad your car did break down on you that day, or we probably never would have met."

*sighs and the eyes half close, meserized by the tone .. and then blinks and smiles as she looks at Kristien again 'you voice, the way it rolls out of you. its like ... like the feeling you get when you see a setting sun sparkling off .. a wide and slow moving river. alluring, and somehow really mysterious ... and .. ' *is distracted by his eyes .. and suffers a verbal hiccup of sorts as she watches then and the way they light up* ' .... and says kiss me i'm yours ... '

Kristian stopped and looked at Sierra, blinking in surprise. " Did your mum read you Harlequin novels for bedtime stories?." He quickly realized what he had said and tried to recover." I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. Just no one has ever said anything like that to me before. I was only kidding when I asked earlier, but honestly Sierra. Are you hitting on me?" He looked at her, totally caught offguard as he waited for her answer.

*looking at Kristien with a puzzled look ... ' .... i .... whats a harlequin novel?... do me a favor, don't answer. i don't wanna know what it is. sounds bad. and i didn't hit you .. i know that much. not that time. you asked about your voice, and i answered. .... sorry '
*looks away, the face going white with horror as she figures out what she said. it's alright. don't worry Kristien, i won't say anything like that again. not again, i guess truth is hard to .... excuse me, i don't feel like talking just now'
...o0( oh wonderful. now i really did it. time to just smile and say nothing anymore. just like in the old days. answer questions with small words and don't let the colors speak out i guess .... ) *gives a brief smile and continues to move along staring at the ground, worried

" He took her by the shoulders and looked her in the eyes. " Okay, let me say this in smaller words so you understand what I'm getting at. Are you saying you have feelings for me?"

*getting asked in straight words .. and finally figuring out part of her current problem .. goes red instantly. then as the face starts to go pale, smiles once and nods as the eyes get a watery look to them
'its okay. it's my fault, and i won't bother about it. i dont know, figured it was okay to .. be me with you. considering what we are. i ... ' *goes quiet as she goes reddish again*'yeah i do ... ' *then looks away, deserate now to put distance between them, figureing that she's done something wrong*

" You can be yourself with me, Sierra." Kristian smiled warmly. " I wouldn't have it any other way. And I like you too."

*the huge bubble of stress and fear bursts and Sierra suddenly relaxes. 'wow .. i didn't think that would make me feel so ... ' *shrugs still relieved. then looks at Kristien and blinks a couple of times stunned. ' .... you do? .. really? ... '
*the smile that covers her face now, has a rosy feel to it. her joy building a bit more and smiles and blushes as she looks at andt hen away from Kristien. ' ... thats nice to know. i was ... scared you got mad or something. you kept saying i was hitting on you ... oh .. city talk? ... jeez, the circus was so much easier'

*the look on the face freezes and then goes still ' .... sorry .... old habis die hard i guess ... ' *sighs and takes something out of the waistband of the pants and slips it into the mouth. then she just smiles and looks sheepish and then to the ground. a small glink of metal shows briefly and then it to vanishes as Sierra seems to adjust something inside the mouth. and audible click is heard.
*sierra wipes the corners of the mouth once and when she speaks her voice is strange and heavily lisped. 'somet'in t'e fam'whee cane up wi'f ...' *and then shows it off. a metal gadget that anchors the tongue to the floor of the mouth with a grid of thin plates braced against the teeth* 'vey god tir'ed tawk'ing'bout me. ease'er to no shound right ...' *give a half grin and then shrugs, the effort to make the words sound right was enough to get her to be quiet for a while.
