"Now there's a relief," I nod, the roll my eyes and shake my head. "Didn't say that it had to be pie, now, did I? I just said I'll be suspicious of you. And I really don't see how you can change that."

I shrugged, "Yeah.. you have a point... Now you'll never eat anything I bake... but if you think about it.. why would I want hurt you?" I asked laughing a little.

I shrug. "Because you're evil, duh. And you know that I'm onto you," I say matter-of-factly, then sigh and shake my head. "Awful cold-blooded of you, Riley."

"Oh.. yeah, you're right, you can't get more evil than me" I say nodding my head, "You caught me" I say with a shrug.

I laugh slightly. "And now this is getting old again.... We really are bad at talking to each other, aren't we?"

I nod and laugh, "Yeah... we really are... either that, or we're so good that... umm... nevermind, we're not good at it" I say shaking my head slighlty laughing lightly.

I laugh. "We're so good at talking to each other that it's like we're telepathically in tune, and so most of the conversation takes place in our heads at a faster pace than we could possibly be aware of it?" I suggest.

I pause and start laughing looking over at her with an amused look, "Yeah.. that works, it's like you're reading my mind" I say grinning lighty.

"And vice-versa," I nod. "Because we're just that... smart. Or something."

I laughed lightly and nodded, "We are" I say grinning, "That's why we keep running outta things to say, the whole conversation's in our heads"

"Now if we only we could figure out what we're saying to each other," I laugh.

"That'd be helpful" I say nodding my head slighlty still grinning lightly, "So... anything been on your mind lately?" I asked after a few moments.

My laughter disappears as I remember what I was thinking about before he showed up. "Not... much," I shrug after a moment.

I nod, my smile fading slightly when her expression changes, "Okay... you sure you're okay?"

"Yeah, fine," I say, shaking my head. "Just a lot on my mind, that's all," I shrug, despite the direct contradiction with my statement just a few minutes ago.

"Okay.." I say nodding my head a little ignoring the fact she contradicted herself, "Hate when that happens..."

"Hm," I nod. "Yeah, very fun." Suicide, friendships, family and relatives and lies and trust....
"So how about you?" I ask. "Anything on your mind?"

I nod my head, "You're gonna think I'm crazy" I say shaking my slightly with a small smile.

"Don't I already?" I ask, raising my eyebrows. "What is it?" I ask, smiling slightly myself since apparently it's nothing bad.

I laugh lightly at her comment and shrug, "True" I say smiling. I pause and instead of saying anything reach in my pocket and pull out a small box, tossing it to Arden.
"It's a ring" I say simply after a few moments. "..For Riyann"

My mouth drops open and I can't speak for a moment, wondering at the strange twinge of jealousy I seem to be feeling but dismissing it amidst the general surprise.
"You are insane," I say when I finally can, laughing slightly. "But... you're serious, I take it?"

"Yeah, I might be a little," I say laughing lighlty, grinning, "Yeah... well, I am, haven't said anything to her about it yet though..."

"Hence still having the ring, I suppose," I say, raising my eyebrows again. "You think... you anticipate a pretty good response?"

"Right," I say with a small chuckle, "I hope so," I add answering her, "Haven't really thought about her saying no though, that'll just make me even more nervous than I already am" I chuckle slightly, "You looked... shocked..." I tell her seeing the expression on her face.

"Well, yeah," I say, shrugging. "I mean, good lord, you're maybe eighteen?" I laugh slightly. "But hey... if you think it's right and all, you probably don't need to be nervous, right?"

"Yeah... that's one of the reasons I still have it actually..." I say looking at the box for a second before looking back up at her, "She's only 17... but I do... and I figure why wait... especially, um.. now.. with the war, and everything.." I add kind of slowly.

I nod, not wanting to say anything for fear it will be something like, That's a really stupid reason to rush into something like this, because there's never a good reason to rush stuff, right? Yes, there's a war... but still. It'll end eventually and you don't want to regret anything, right?
But that would probably be tactless, and also he's not stupid.
Hold your tongue and be supportive, a voice reminds me sternly.

"I just, uh.. don't want to rush things..." I say looking back down at the box, "Another reason I still have it" I add nodding my head slightly, "Thanks for not telling me I'm a complete idiot though.." I look over at her.

I shrug. "If I really, really think that you are a complete idiot and it's what you need to hear, then I will. Otherwise that would be cruel 'cause I'm pretty sure you're not."
Mildly idiotic maybe, but not a total imbecile.

"Thanks" I say with small smile, "But seriously, tell me if you think it's too fast, or just stupid... I just love her more than anything.."
