Lina nodded and quickly went about making the tea for him. Once it was ready, she handed him a small chipped cup of it. "You can have as much as you want," she said, practicing her speech again.

Aimee nodded. "Then.... If you want..." She saw him leaving. Another guy leaving her in a bed. She wasn't good enough... "Tempt.... I want you and... " She pushed him onto his back and hovered over him, nervous and it was obviously something she was not used to. Aimee kissed him again, more.... passionately. She didn't want to, but he was going to leave her.

Hawk smiled and nodded slowly. "What do you think Forger food would be like?" he asked softly.

Temp pushed her off. "Hey...hey..." He frowned. "No...If you don't want to...I mean." He sighed and put a large hand over his face. "No...no I'm not ready anymore." He sat up and hugged her. "I'm sorry...for pushing you. I was being an ass."

Lina blinked before shrugging. "I guess... I don't knows," she said.

Aimee hugged him back. "No... no it's alright." She said. "I want to be with you and I know... that we'll be together when it's perfect." She said. "You still want to be with me?"

Hawk shrugged. "We'll find out then. Hope its not too disgusting." he shuttered. "So you ready to go? We need to work on what you look like."

***

Temp nodded slowly. "Yeah..." he said tenitively. "But...you...know." He paused. "The only reason I want to do this is so the guys will stop making fun of me. But...how about I have a real girlfriend and...we can just. Concentrate on us and not what others want you think?"

Lina frowned. "I'll... have to bathe..." She sighed, looking down at the paint on her arms.

Aimee smiled at that. She nodded. "That sounds perfect." She grinned, hugging him again. "I'll be your girlfriend and you'll be my boyfriend... and it will happen." She said. "I really, really like you." She kissed him.

Hawk nodded slowly. "I'm sorry." he said. "I'll help paint you again when we're done." he promised.

Temp smiled and hugged her tight. "This...this is a lot better. Without the stress of that." he whispered. "I was just doing it cause I thought...its what everyone was doing."

Aimee nodded. "I think a lot of it is just stories. I mean, I thought that you and Merci had been together because that is what she told me." She smiled. "I like that we'll both get there when we're ready. I can still kiss you though right?" She grinned.

Lina took a deep breath and nodded. "Thanks," she said quietly. It was going to be hard, to take it all off. Each symbol was important, and she'd been painting them since she was young. "I shouldn't... do it until right before we leave."

Hawk nodded. "Makes sense." he agreed. "Well...we have the clothes. The metal....are we missing anything?"

***

Temp nodded and smiled, kissing her gently this time. She had been right. This was still pretty fun.

Lina thought for a long moment. "I don't think so," she said. "You... see them more than I do."

Aimee smiled at the kiss. Her arms wrapped around his shoulders as she let him kiss her and she kissed back. This was fun, this was comfortable and this was right. Plus if his roommate walked in he wouldn't be able to make fun of him.

Hawk nodded. "We leave tomorrow then." he smiled. "Great." He rested back in her tent, tired from running so much.

***

Temp stopped the kiss to breath before he simply got tired. "Hey." he smiled at her and held her close.
