He scoops her up then, and lifts her in his arms. She is, for that moment, the highest person there, and she sees above the crowd of others. Quickly, he sets her back down on her own two feet, and grins.
You should watch where you are going better.
He looks at the glaring woman like she's food, and the woman stumbles backwards and away. He laughs just a bit, and takes Spura's hand.

Spura smiled, genuinely embarassed and rubbed her nose as a tiny little droplet of blood oozed down. They had hit and made quite the impact, afterall. Spura signed to him, her fingers fluttering as naturally as if they were butteflies.
You should make sure not to get lost anymore.
She couldn't help but smile when he laughed, even though his sense of humor was pretty sick. Maybe it was starting to rub off on her, too. Who wouldn't have laughed after seeing that lady's priceless expression.

Until you said his name over the phone, Colon, I thought he was dead. I have thought he was dead for years. And now, to find out he is still alive...
But it wasn't about love. We were going to get married so that I wouldn't have to marry Aubrey. ... Of course, Aubrey lied about his death. I'm... overwhelmed. He said that about me? That I was the only woman he ever loved?

Rae made her way to the part of the square that wasn't far from her shop, apologizing countless times as she was bumped into. Blend, smile, enjoy yourself, Rae. It wasn't hard to get caught up in the overall festivity of the crowds, but she still played the wallflower when opportunity provided. Constantly she smoothed the ruffles of her skirt, hoping tonight's ensemble wouldn't make some pervert get the wrong idea. Sure, the skirt was short, but it was the only one she had. Rae had been too busy keeping an eye on her store to go shopping for a new outfit. Still, she felt that her anxiety was justified, being a single young girl out by herself.

He doesn't worry about a little trickle of blood. But he does poke her nose to see if it's broken.
The world is ours tonight, Spura. What do you want to do with it?

He leans back against the wall, looking rather tired of everything, "Yeah...he did. He told me that too though, that it wasn't about love. However, he still cares about you, probably always will." He closes his eyes and breaths in deeply, the smell of good food and fall leaves reaching him before he slowly breathes it all out. "Don't get your hopes up though, I think he's a little more interested in what I have to offer than you or any other female these days."
He looks serious for a moment and then smiles, taking her hand again, "Is there anything else you need to tell me? I don't want to suddenly hear about some love child you and Daniel had before coming here or anything even remotely like that."

Spura cringes at his sudden poke, but it's out of surprise, not pain. Nothing's broken. Realizing the little trickle, she wiped it away quickly and looked around.
With so many people around and such a festive, warm feeling, she had no idea what to do and shrugged. Besides, why was he asking her anyway? He had always been the one in charge.
However, despite her indecisiveness, a spicy, grilled scent wafted through the air and made her mouth water. Spura tilted her head upwards, trying to find where the delicious smell had ventured from.

He swirls a martini--or what passes for a martini in this part of town, and casually spots the young lady from the book store. He raises his glass to her, absently.
Some company this evening, now that his political conversations for the evening are through, would be spectacular.

He starts to move in the direction of the smell.
At this point, eh can read her gestures, her expressions, maybe even her mind.
He arrives at a row of vendors, but there's a line, and he doesn't stand in line. He moves to the front, and picks her up, so that she can peer in at the food being made. Point to what you want.
There are funnel cakes, and hot dogs, and burgers, and big icecream cones.

The wrong idea is the only thing that ever crosses his mind, and so, with an devilishly evil grin, he hurries towards the girl in the short ruffled skirt hoping to beat the pompous looking excuse for a male that was also working his way over.

Spura looked down at him in surprise. In her life, never had something been simply given to her. In fact, no one but Mr. Hollow had given her so much in her entire life.
Meekly, and almost afraid she would be scolded, Spura pointed a trembling finger to a small, depressed looking hot dog.

Seeing the man acknowledge her presence, Rae tilted her head to indicate that she noticed him as well.
Rae saw, all too late, that there was more than one man now in pursuit of her company. A slight blush showed up on her cheeks, but she hoped it would be inconspicuous in the multicolored lights.

He's always been bisexual....
What... what's that supposed to mean? Look, I wasn't hiding it from you, I just didn't want to get into it in that moment. I needed to collect my thoughts. I wasn't hiding anything from you, baby. ~She touches your hair, gently.~ I really never thought that he had those kinds of feelings... I....
Don't doubt that you are the one I love. The only one I love. ~she smiles, a little sultry.~
~Then, she goes quiet. She sees him. Lliam, who is out looking for Colon with a pile of food in his hands.~

He grins, wanting to forget everything about everyone else except the two of them right now, but then he notices the look on her face and he follows her eyes to Lliam, "Damn." Sighing, he prepares to stand up, "What should we do? You want me to lead him away from you, just give me the word and I'll do my best, but if you want him to know the truth, we can try and end this all right now." He secretly hopes she chooses the second option, but he was leaving it in her hands to choose.
