"He shakes his head, actually I'm a bit hungry. If you don't mind, perhaps we could see if they have anything?" He nudges Lliam and grins, "You should probably get something too, with the whole coming back from the dead thing...besides, Crosshaven has some amazing..." his eyes catch Rose, but she doesn't see him, "...cooks."

He glances at the strange guy who seemed to give off a rather eerie feeling, "Yeah...I suppose they don't." He takes a sip of his beer, it was slightly weak, but it would do.

"Well, dear, now you've gone and done it. Now I'm hungry." He smiles, and squeezes Colon's arm. "I'll go find us a food vendor, and get you dinner. It's the least I can do, eh? You bring me back from the dead, and I buy you dinner." He laughs, his cheeks pinking with life. "God, it's good to be alive. For the simple pleasures like food, if nothing else." He helps Colon to a seat in a bench near the intersection of the main square and market street, and then he steps off. "I'll be back, with food and drink, and maybe a bit of alcohol if you're good." He winks, and disappears into the crowd, watching the ladies dancing in the square as he makes his way towards sustenance.

"Can't wait." He makes sure Lliam is out of sight before hobbling his way to the wall where Rose was. He slips down next to her, not saying a word for a moment, he doesn't want her to notice he's there, he just wants to be there with her, and enjoy it before anything has the chance to happen that could damage this moment.
He sighs finally and places his gloved hand on hers, "That mind of yours seems to be carried off somewhere. Mind telling me where that may be?" He lifts up her hand and kisses it, he was still angry, it couldn't be helped, but this was his Rose.

He nods once more, and slips back into the crowd.

~Her eyes roll closed the moment she feels that familiar touch, and smells him, and then, when his voice comes, she is comfortable again.
She looks to him, her large eyes catching in the light, and smiles. It looks like a weight has fallen from her shoulders.~ It was off with you, somewhere, and now that you are here, it has returned to me.
~She slides one arm behind him, around his waist, at the small of his back.~

"What the hell was that..." He stares as the man walks off and sets his beer down, suddenly not thirsty anymore. He wasn't sure if he was suppose to know who that was or not, but he couldn't help but have a feeling he would see him again.

Peeking meekly from around the corner of a building, Spura's large eyes scanned the area excitedly, as though she'd wanted to eat it all up. The colors, the lights, the sounds! The only thing missing...
Taking a deep breath, Spura stepped out into the crowd. Being so small, most people would overlook her as if she were nothing but a pebble in the middle of the street. Just below the elbow-level of most of the people, Spura noted maybe two or three other small children with their parents, all of which seemed to be having a terrible time, for they cried, shouted, and screeched like they had lost a limb. Finding this racket much too annoying for her tastes, she wandered through a more adult-looking crowd.
Maybe he was in there somewhere?

He is there, swaying like a dark reed in the sea of people, not far behind Spura.
He leans on a column, the shadows streaking across his face, one eye visible.
The corner of his lips turn up in a smile, for the little girl.

He smiles lightly and kisses the top of her head before resting his chin there, "I missed you Rose." He pulls her closer to him with the arm that had made it's way around her, "I wish to God that I could keep sitting here, but I don't think that can happen."
He glances around the crowds for him, "I'm with Lliam currently, and I need you to tell me what I'm suppose to do with him, he's already too comfortable with me, I really don't know what he will do if he sees you or Daniel." He sighs and kisses her head once more, "You know him better than anyone."

Beginning to get a little concerned, Spura stood on her tiptoes. They hadn't been separated THAT long. How far could such a tall guy get without being noticed? She'd have to make sure he knew how dangerous it was to wander off by himself when she found him.
Completely unaware of her guardian's prescence in a sea of so many, Spura ducked between people's legs and darted here and there, away from him.

~She swallows.~ He's here? ~Her eyes flicker across the crowd.~ He's really here? ~She looks panicked for a moment, and then squeezes his hand.~
~Just as she is about to formulate a strategy, she notices the turn of his phrase.~ Yes, I know him, I know him well. Very well. ~He eyes dart again across the crowd, as if she doesn't believe it and has to see for herself.~ It's difficult to explain. And I plan to... but...
~She stands there, poised between running away and running out to look for him, and holds her face in her hand.~

He laughs, and starts to chase after her, moving in and out of the insubstantia to make up for time.
Then he positions himself in front of her, kneeled down at eye-level, so she may run right into him.

Imagine her surprise when she passed through a crowd of rather snobbish looking aristocrats and bam, there he was directly in front of her. Unable to brake as she dodged and weasled through the crowds, Spura's face hit Mr. Hollow's chin. Quite dazed, Spura stumbled back a step or two, into a woman's legs, who glared at the grubby girl with disgust.
Spura flashed a grin and regained her balance quickly, though.

A twinge of jealousy sparks him, and he releases her, allowing her the chance to search the crowds for him, "He's getting us food, you might be able to see him there..." he is trying to hide the anger in his voice, and he almost passes, but not very well, "You don't need to explain Rose, he told me everything, it matches to what you told me after Aubrey attacked Daniel."
He grabs her arm, a little tighter than he ment to, "I just don't understand why you couldn't tell me when I was on the phone with you that it was Lliam you were going to marry. He told me you were the only person he ever loved Rose, and God help me...I'm starting to feel guilty here! He thinks you're dead, and I'm not sure if he deserves to keep thinking that. Not to mention he'll probably kill Daniel if he sees him."
