Tikari Lake & Falls.
Deep inside Tikari forest lies a large lake, that can easily be found if you follow one of the streams that branches off from it. A large waterfall pours down into it from high above, kicking up an almost constant mist that looks very much like a thick fog. At times it's very hard to see, and you can't go near the waterfall without being soaked by the mist.
However, if you stay on the far edge away from it, you'll be mostly fine. Fireflies drift lazily over the surface of the water, and the moon shines very brightly from above. It's a pretty nice, peaceful place, if you manage to ignore the roar of the falls.
No one's found a way to climb up the falls, unless they've flown to the top, and not many have done that either. If someone decides to look, there's actually a rather deep cave hidden behind the waterfall as well, full of twisting, winding paths that seem to head deep underground. Careful if you go in. You don't want to get lost in there.

Verona looked up when she felt a drop of rain hit her, and wrinkled her nose slightly before glancing down at Gin. Of course, he was still asleep. She guessed getting all wet wouldn't be too good for either of them, and even if they were under a tree, it still seemed like the raindrops were rather big. They wouldn't stay very dry. So, with a sigh, she stood and placed the guitar strap around her shoulders. Then she leaned down, and carefully placed Gin's arm around her shoulder, hers around his waist, as she hauled him up.
Moving somewhat slowly and awkwardly, she made her way towards the waterfall. This may have sounded strange, but she'd actually seen a cave behind it, or at least thought she did. Sure enough, behind the roaring water was a small path of rocks, which she carefully made her way across with some difficulty, since they were wet and slick, and Gin was weighing her down.
But, somehow she made it, and retreated a bit into the cave, setting Gin's back against a wall. It was surprisingly dry, at least in this part. Peering out and off to the side, she could see just how heavy the downpour was, even though the sound of the waterfall was drowning out the noise. Even so, she decided to wait it out in here for a while. Somehow, the waterfall's water wasn't reaching them, so they would stay dry.

Gin's eyes began to flit about again, and his eyelids fluttered open lazily. his fingers jumped randomly, and then his toes wiggled, though it was impossible to see. He woke up slowly, nodding back off several times then waking up again. he looked around with lazy eyes, trying to figure out what was going on. They were in a cave.
"Wha...?...Vera?...."
He looked around for vera frantically. The first thing he noticed was his wet shirt. then he noticed vera. He moved to her quickly, frantically clinging to her.
"Im sorry i worried you.."

Verona was sitting against a wall of the case, knees hugged to her chest as she waited for either the rain to stop, or for Gin to wake up. It seemed the latter came first. She turned her head when she heard them, and the next thing she knew, he'd latched onto her. She paused for a second, and then hugged him back, laughing quietly. "It's fine," she said quietly. "Are you ok now?" They were making it seem like it'd been some fatal wound he'd somehow overcome, when really he'd just fallen asleep. She didn't really mind the hugging though.

"Yeah...Listen, did i talk while i was asleep? i have a tendency to do tht sometimes when i think about people..So if i said something about you, please tell me what."
He backed up, looking at her softly. wondering what he may have said.
HE looked down, by the same token, wondering if he had said something he wanted to keep secret. He blushed slightly; he probably had.

Verona paused for a second, the blush returning slightly. She couldn't help it though. So that meant he had been talking about her when he'd said it? For a moment, she'd thought he was dreaming about someone else. She'd just met him, after all. For all she knew, he could have a girlfriend already. Should she tell him or just...? No, she should go ahead and tell him. It wouldn't be fair if she didn't. "Um..." she began quietly. "You said the word... love."

"R-Really?!"
He blushed furiously. He turned away from her, trying desperately to hide it.
"...please forgive me."
He turned around, seeming to be a bit sad now. He backed away from her slowly, leaning up against the opposite wall.

Verona stared at him for a moment, a bit confused. Well, she kind of expected the first part, but not the apology. So she blinked, and then crawled towards him on her hands and knees before dropping down beside him again. "What am I forgiving you for?" she asked quietly, looking up at him. She poked him lightly in the side, wondering if he was at all ticklish either. Maybe that'd cheer him up, a bit? Though, she knew she could say something that would probably work. So she sighed, and glanced to the floor. "You know I wouldn't kiss someone unless I really liked them, right?" she asked, her voice suddenly faint.

"Im sorry for being a knocked out deadweight and making you carry me in the rain."
He snapped his fingers, placing a hand on his chest and one on her shoulder. the water in her clothes suddenly evaporated as he transmuted it, and left them feeling warm, as if they had just come out of the drier. He looked at her for several moments before continuing.
"The reason, i believe i was asked, why i rushed you here was...I like to see you happy, and id do something costly to see you happy."

Verona shrugged her shoulders slightly, and opened her mouth to tell him it was fine. But, he touched her shoulder and she paused, looking curiously at what he was doing. Then her clothing suddenly felt warm, and she blinked a couple times before tugging on her shirt in surprise. "Ah... cool," she smiled, and looked up to find him staring at her. So she fell silent again as well, just watching him, until he finally spoke. She hesitated a moment longer, the blush returning yet again to her cheeks. What was she supposed to say to that? She slowly reached forward, drawing her into another hug as she pressed her face lightly against his neck. "Thank you, Gin," she said softly. "I am very happy, right now..."

"Then Im happy...."
Ginseku reached over slowly, and picked up her guitar.
He began to tap out a slightly quick beat, that sounded like a slower version of "You really got me" by van halen.
"Girl, you really got me now
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin'
Girl, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night
Girl, you really got me now
You got me so I don't know where I'm goin', yeah
Oh Girl, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night
You really got me
You really got me
You really got me
Please, don't ever let me be
I only wanna be by your side
Please, don't ever let me be
I only wanna be by your side
Girl, you really got me now
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin', yeah
Oh yeah, you really got me now
Got me so I can't sleep at night
You really got me
You really got me.."
He let the last note ring before leaning back and nearly passing out.

Verona leaned back slightly, watching him pick up her guitar. She just sat and waited, hands clasped in her lap as they fidgeting with the hem of her shirt. Pretty soon, the echoes of the music rang throughout the cave, shortly joined by his voice. As she realized what the song was, and also why he'd asked earlier if she liked Van Halen, she couldn't help smiling. But it faded again when he suddenly leaned back, looking slightly out of it again.
She quickly leaned forward, a worried frown upon her face. "Don't overwork yourself, please," she said anxiously. Though, it had sounded good, and her face was a nice shade of pink again. She heistated a moment, biting her lower lip softly, and then leaned forward until her face was right in front of his. "...can I give you another prize?" she whispered, so close that her lips brushed his when she spoke. Maybe now wasn't the best time but... she couldn't help it.

Ginseku put the guitar aside slowly, with tender care.
"I wont..I promise"
He looked unto her eyes softly. Sligthly brushing his lips with hers also.
"Why, do you have another prize for me?...Because if there is one...i dont want a kiss. I..want you. To be mine."
He blushed at his own comment, hut didnt look away. he looked her staight in the eyes.

Verona blinked a couple times, and drew back just sightly, a couple inch gap between them now. The blush upon her cheeks didn't fade as she watched him silently for a few seconds that dragged on for what seemed like hours. It was moving so fast. She'd known him for what... an hour? Maybe not even that! But even so, she really did like him. Love at first sight? Maybe, but that honestly sounded a little corny to her. Either way, she still came up with the same reply. She smiled, and finally nodded her head. "Alright," she promised quietly. "I'm yours."

ginseku smiled, his hands softly crawling up to meet hers. his fingers slipped inbetween hers, and he held her hand softly with his.
"Thank you.."
He moved close to her and kissed her lovingly on the lips, slightly pressing down on hers. He smiled slightly through the kiss, his joy returning to him yet again through her.
"So...Do you want to stay here for the night? or go somewhere else?"
He backed up after a moment, asking with a slightly interested face.
