"Dumb question, of course I have. I'm a girl aren't I?...Sentimentality is kind of in the job description. " She snorted lightly.

David let out a light laugh, the sound of his chuckle echoing off the rocks and rubble around them.
"I see...Well, fair enough I guess. Another question- why try and get me back to lead? I thought you didn't really care about the Dragons..."

"Because it goes against my honor code, as a Knight I have an obligation to support my leaders. And it went against your personality" She said as-a-matter-of-fact.
"Like I said, it could be a dragons, or crows...or even the caterpillars for all I care-" She sighed. "It just so happens, I'm also in a position to support the Dragons rather than fight them..."
A beat.
"My turn, so you love both Kiyr and Oleysa?"

David turned to glance at her, saying nothing at her assertion that it went against his personality. He folded his hands onto his lap and thought a moment, prepped to ask another question, but was interrupted by a question of hers.
"I do, yes. Were you wanting something more...elaborate on that topic?"

Bastille shook her head. "No, that was all I needed" She looked slightly happy about it- ....as much as there was a sudden jealous curve to her characteristic pursing of her lips.
"I haven't really gotten to know Olyesa, and Kiyr is sweet...you don't exactly have a specific 'type' do you?" She teased, her fingers still going through his hair lightly.

David watched her a moment.
"Yes, I do. Intelligent. Strong willed. Brave, honorable, trustworthy...you know, all the things that make you cringe. I don't really have a bad girl streak."
He didn't mind the feeling of her fingers in his hair- in fact, strangely, it was calming. Like a balm. He felt so relaxed, he could be brutally honest.
"Though if you see me as not having a type, you certainly don't either. You went from me to Mathew. Huge leap there.

"Make me cringe?! Funny how you just named half the traits I'd like to flatter myself having, let alone prizing. How well did you say you knew me?" She scoffed then shrugged. "You and Mathew are more alike then either of you would ever admit."

David smiled.
"Not half- you have all of them. I say they would make you cringe because instead of choosing the man with those traits, you chose the one who has them when he feels the need. IE, when it suits him."
He sighed.
"I sound like a jealous school kid- I promise, I'm not. Im just...bitter, I suppose. I have moved on, for the most part."

Bastille just snickered. "See, I haven't exactly had the chance to play jealous ex yet, but as soon as you make a serious move on Oleysa or Kiyr or whoever- do let me know so I can fulfill my obligation as a complete overly dramatic pain in the ass" She beamed happily. It felt nice making jokes like this...and then she shrugged.
"He has his perks...hidden beneath a jack ass exterior....just like you did. You'll probably barf as much as I will admitting this like a fluffy princess in a fairy tale but....."
She paused.
"There is an innocence about him...something I'd rather protect and safe guard...no, not innocence- an ignorance. Its sometimes just a glimmer in his eyes, or perhaps the way he reacts to certain topics but you can tell....he holds a childs hope for the future that he's too damn stubborn to let be tarnished by whatever evil the world throws at him. I think, the thing that draws me to him is that he is lost in the darkness, protecting his youthful ignorance with the only thing that could possibly damage it, his own shadows. Of course, these factors combined and personified make him a bloody douche bag. I fight with the guy at least once a month- at least....when he was home. Now we're both so busy,"
she sighed and stretched her arms a bit.
"You both are strong, powerful men who have royally absurd and fanciful ideas about how the world works. Thats my type- dreamers who know the costs of dreams. Men who learned as boys, 'not that dragons exist, but that dragons can be killed'..." she quoted lightly. Then she chuckled suddenly. "Or you can just turn into one and that works too..."

He smiled.
"I guess you have a point. He dreams of ruling the world, I dream of freeing it, yet both are probably beyond our individual capacity. Big dreamers indeed."
He decided to go silent here, and let his eyes slide closed- it wasn't often Bastille took it upon herself to dote; David would enjoy it while it lasted, for in ten minutes she may decide that punching his face soothed her more than running her fingers through his hair.

Bastille laughed. "He DOES NOT wish he ruled the world...he kind of thinks he already does- but that is utterly besides the point! You should see him with the girls...I've never seen a couple so completely confused by the concept of children as us. But you..You will be a great dad some day...If you had kids with garden gnome they'd be adorable! I was never one for babies, but after giving birth I'm kinda forced to appreciate them. I though I was going to die- I was hallucinating through the whole experience heh..."
There was a long pause as she remembered the horrible pain and the constant fog about who she was or even where she was....it was not a normal labor experience, and if she ever had kids after this she was definitely going to make a point to not loose consciousness doing it.
"Your kids with Oleysa would be pretty too...oh dear, what a conundrum indeed...."

He took a deep breath, his cheeks now considerably pinker.
"I'd...rather not discuss my theoretical childrens factor of cuteness based on whichever lady I happen to decide on...in fact, let's put off discussion of my kids, and focus on yours. They are getting big- how old are they now?"
Whew.
Smooth change of subject there, Davey.

"Bugger, you're no fun" She commented on his subject change.
"They are 7 months now...they'll be 8 months in two weeks. Funny, I didn't expect to wind up married or knocked up after the first bang- and I got both. It's odd to think it's only been a year and a half since I came back state side. Aryanna, as you've noticed, is getting better at her vanishing act...she fooled Mathew twice already as well. Evelyn is usually well behave, but when she wants something, she knows how to get her hands on it. Aryanna is obviously the younger sister....by five minutes, it's always her first...not that Evelyn doesn't use that to her advantage. " She let out a tired huff. She barely left the house anymore, these girls kept her so busy.
She was still having trouble believing this all to be real.
"Evelyn has started standing up right. Aryanna is a little slower, but I think within the next month we'll see them walking....Mathew and I have been training them to use their muscles correctly and how to give the most force where they want it. Never too early I guess.." there was a sad tone to it.

He gave a small chuckle.
"Wow..you sound like a mom. It's a good sound."
His eyes fluttered a bit as she continued her grooming of his hair, now completely relaxed- he'd never actually had someone...care for him in such a way, so the realization that he enjoyed it kept the small smile on his face.
"Do you know...when Matt plans on going back to the Dragons? Or if he ever does?"
Best to take her to a new topic...before his future children were brought back up again.

"He never left, as far as I know....he's been busy with the girls and when hes not he's been doing 'business' with Leon or other people. I always see him off at meetings or working with people in his office over papers and maps. I dont ask because frankly, I dont want to know.....sometimes his plans scare me."
She said honestly. He was sometimes to rash for even her tastes.
