Where's Much?

[Alexis Bailey]

Alexis walked through the trees and began searching for Much.
Where had he gone?
She hoped that Drake hadn't got to him.

[Gary Taylor]

Gary stumbled through the low shrubs of the forest. He had pretty much patched up his bad shoulder but he was looking for a herb he knew that might help. He wasn't good with herbs but had learnt a little from the mystery man, along with all the other skills.

He crouched down to examine some plants on the forest floor.

[Alexis Bailey]

She wandered through the trees, trying to work our where Much had actually gone and why he hadn't said anything and perhaps the most important one, why had he been gone so long?

[Gary Taylor]

"This might be right." he thought to himself. He drew his dagger from it's new place on his belt and began to cut a piece off.

A twig snapped behind him.

He listened. There was someone behind him, a little way off but still there. He got ready. Hand on the hilt of his new - quite impressive looking - new sword.

"Gah!" he let out an exclamation as he span around and stood up. Whipping out his sword in his right hand. His dagger held limply in his left.

[Alexis Bailey]

Alexis was unaware of Gary ahead of her, she was deep in thought.

[Gary Taylor]

There was someone walking a few metres away. With their back slightly towards Gary so he couldn't quite see their face... it was a woman though. Her long brown hair was familiar...

"Who's there!?" he called out.

[Alexis Bailey]

Alexis stopped in her tracks and drew her sword, she was taking no chances with whoever it was.

[Gary Taylor]

He was feeling confident. He was a different person now. His clothes were stronger and less peasanty. His hair was a little longer, and darker.

"Turn to face me!" Gary called again. They'd drawn their sword.

[Alexis Bailey]

Alexis did just that she turned to face him with a look on her face showing she was ready for a fight. Her sword was poised ready to strike.

[Gary Taylor]

His mouth dropped and his sword fell just an inch. His whole body was shocked at the sight of her. Alexis....

[Alexis Bailey]

As soon as she saw his face, she lowered her sword and an expression of surprise spread across her face.

[Gary Taylor]

He hadn't seen her for days.

"Alexis..." he said awkwardly. But then he looked at her and remembered how much he loved to be around her. He smiled. and dropped his sword to the floor. He just let all his held feelings go.

"Where have you been?" he said half desperately half jokily.

[Alexis Bailey]

"I've been with Robin and his gang." she replied smiling, she was so happy they'd bumped into eachother.

[Gary Taylor]

He smiled. That was good, she's been safe. He shealthed his sword and dagger.

"you know, we never got to finish our talk last time we met..." he said, closing in the many metres still between them. Five or so metres still seperated them.

[Alexis Bailey]

"No we didn't" she said moving towards him.
