Aerin Thomas [Jan. 23]: ((You guys okay with this being Monday? Or tomorrow works, too...whatever day that isn't today or yesterday works.))

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 23]: ((Tomorrow as in Friday, for reference.))

Olivia Boehm: ((i'm good with Monday.))

Olivia Boehm: ((oh wait. monday last?))

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 23]: ((Monday the 23rd. Like I said, Tomorrow works, too. Or Tuesday the 24th.))

Olivia Boehm: ((i vote tomorrow))

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: (Im good with whatever*nods*)

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: ((Tomorrow it is, then!))

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: He drives his way up to the Manor area, parking the car in the main parking lot for it. The staff area. The man is looking good, if tired as per usual...maybe a bit more. His trench coat is a new one, fairly identical to the old one...he's dressed in a crimson lace-up shirt and jeans. He kills the engine and looks over to Olivia...he's been conversational on the 5 hour drive up, but mostly quiet. "She'll be thrilled to see you." He smiles. "I've even been good and kept it a secret."

Olivia Boehm: *She's been completely unable to shut up for more than thirty seconds at a time. After five hours, he's probably very, very tired of the sound of her voice. She's chattered about nothing, seeming nervous, tugging now at the untucked hem of her tshirt* You think I should have dressed up?

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: "No, I think you look fine." He looks at her a long moment, and then smiles, putting a hand on her shoulder. "It's all right, Liv. Just...calm down. She'll be thrilled." A smile, before he slips out of the car, ready to guide her over to Kaeleigh's cabin.

Olivia Boehm: Yeah.... *Deep breath, letting it out in a sigh as she gets out of the car, grabbing her bag and the bottle of wine that she brought along*

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: He smiles to her and leads her along, auto keylock egaging with a blip. He travels away from the main building, heading toward the private cabin's. Kaeleigh's is a good amount away, a spot that's quite private. They're good-sized cabins, with a private garden around each cabin and an enclosed gazebo complete with lounge chairs for outside relaxation.

Olivia Boehm: This is really nice.... *Looking around, mind wandering to a vacation, locked away in a cabin*

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: "Yeah, I love it up here," he says with a smile to her. "I feel lucky having a reason to come up each day." He walks up onto the deck of Kae's cabin and knocks on the door.

Olivia Boehm: I can't believe you drive that far every day. *Standing off to the side, where Kae won't be able to see her right away*

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: "Not every day," he murmurs. "Three times a week." Well, besides the last couple weeks, when it's been much more.

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *the knock on hte door is heard, and she moves eventually to open it, red hair in disheveled lazy curls down and loose, wearing a huge comfy robe, she smiles seeing aerin when she first opens the door* hey you...*arms open for a hug*

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: "Hey." He smiles and steps forward, arms wrapping around Kaeleigh's waist and hugging her tightly. "How are you? I have a surprise for you..."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: doin fine.....little bored again but...*shrugging, she hugs him real tight, hair damp as if not too long out of a bath or shower* surprise huh?

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: "Yep." He releases the hug and steps back a moment. "Hey, surprise," he calls to Olivia's spot on the side of the doorway. "C'mere already."

Olivia Boehm: *She's grinning like a maniac when she scoots forward, giving Kae a little wave* Surprise.

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *she looks and gasps...speechless for a moment, eyes wide and blinking before she dashes for liv, nearly tacklehugging her form* ohmygodohmygod youre here.....

Olivia Boehm: *She squeaks, giggling as she's grabbed and hugged, hugging back as best she can with her bag and bottle* I figured you wouldn't mind company for a day or two.

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: He smiles, leaning back against the door frame, watching the tackling with a faint grin.

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: no I definately dont, holy shit*squeezing liv before letting go and looking at her for a moment, murmuring softly to her*

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: d10: Per+Alert: 5,10,8,4,7,4,

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: He's not actively trying to listen...he's not trying not to. He is watching them, after all...

Olivia Boehm: *She hugs her again quickly* I'm going to put my stuff inside... where's the bathroom?

Kaeleigh O'Reilly -> Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: I need to thank him, bringing you here....goddess Ive missed you so fucking much......*eyes already starting to water as she smiles looking to her* (what was said*G*)

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: um.....kay..*blushing slightly, she nods and lets them both get inside, gesturing the direction of the bathroomm for liv*

Olivia Boehm: *Disappearing for a couple of minutes to let them have some privacy*

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *liv heads off and she looks to aerin, smiling warmly* cmere ..

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: He slips in after Olivia, taking off the new trench coat that he forgot to take off in the car. The gun holster follows, and the coat's placed in a chair, the holster on the coffee table.

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: He smiles and steps to Kae, head cocking curiously. "Hmmm?"

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *arms slip around him and she leans her head on his shoulder, murmuring softly in his ear*

Kaeleigh O'Reilly -> Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: *she smells clean, fresh scrubbed and all that, and she kisses him as she leans close like that, slow and sweet, before murmuring with such sincereity* by the goddess I love you aerin......I really do......you are the most wonderful sweet man Ive ever met.....

Olivia Boehm: ((brb. changing comps))

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: He smiles gently, his arms slipping around her and squeezing tight, leaning down to murmur back to her.

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27] -> Kaeleigh O'Reilly: He returns the kiss, the usual, dancing-on-the-edge-of-not-chaste one, and then "I love you too, Kae. Anything I can do to make you happy." A brief pause. "You want me to give you two some time with each other?"

Kaeleigh O'Reilly -> Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: just....for a little while.....yeah.......*blushing* but I want time with you later too...ok?

Olivia Boehm: *Okay. That's about as long as she can stretch it. She comes out quietly, head down, smiling softly*

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27] -> Kaeleigh O'Reilly: "No problem."

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: He nods and takes a reluctant step back, away from Kaeleigh. He looks to Olivia and smiles a little, and back. "Well, I've got some duties to attend to, and an ass to get kicked in my Iskakku practice. I'll see you guys later...Kae, you know where to find me if you guys need me."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: yeah, I know.......and take it easy, ok? no more SEVERE bruising, alright?*fuzzing a hand through his hair affectionately with a warm smile and chuckle*

Olivia Boehm: Thanks, Aerin. I'll see you later.

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: "I'll try not to." He grins to Kae, leaning into her hand a little, then pulls away. A look to Olivia, lingering a moment...then a nod, and he heads out the front door to the cabin.

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *she watches him leave with a soft sigh and warm smile before she looks to liv, the smile softening once more*

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: He pauses just outside the door, fishing a cigarette out from his pocket and lighting it. He blinks as he realizes the gun and trench are inside...ahh, fuck it. He'll get 'em later. No intruding back in. He steps off the deck, heading slowly back to the Manor building, with several looks over his shoulder to the cabin along the way.

Olivia Boehm: So hi. *Grinning back a little*

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: yeah....hey....*chewing her lip, she holds a hand out towards her tentatively*

Kaeleigh O'Reilly -> Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: (she will SO be calling on him to 'properly' thank him most likely if he'll accept later on*chuckles, hugs*)

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27]: ((Killing nick, guys. Enjoy. *S*))

Aerin Thomas [Jan. 27] -> Kaeleigh O'Reilly: ((Yeah, I think he will. *Grins and hugs*))
