After walking the winding game trail for half an hour they broke out into a small but beautiful clearing. She smiled brightly. Her wings fluttered lightly as she felt so much more at home right here in this beautiful grove.
The sunlight filtered through the thick canopy of trees casting that sweet ethereal light here and there in spots but most of the grove was in shade. Trees surrounded the area and wildlife plant and animal like shared the tall grass area until the large pond in the center. The water in the pond was clear and fish swam around underneath the surface while water lillies bloomed on the top.
"I found it yesterday when I came. Before I went to the academy I explored the forest. And this, well it is much like my home except there would be a small house up in one of the branches where I would live. But, this is close." she said with a smile as she let go of his hand and walked gracefully to the edge of the pond and sat down. The very first thing she did was pull out the tie in her hair and let the green lockes fall down around her shoulders and wings.

Corsire looked around with wide eyes as he stood there observing this grove Midori showed him. It was wonderful in every way he could think of. It slightly resembled the grove near his house but it was much nicer in many ways. Mostly the animals. Not many were in the grove back home as he did most of his pre-Academy training there.
"It's lovely. It suits you perfectly if it's similar to your home." He said taking his his shoes and socks off then walking over to Midori and sitting by her looking over at her. Granted someine much more lovely is right beside me. He thought

She was glad that he too felt at home here and that he was happy she had brought him. Following his example she slipped off her shoes and socks. She hated wearing those things. She sat her bare feet down in the grass with a smile. She pulled her wings back into her back.
Laying back on the ground she let her hair lay as it wanted and she looked up at the canopy above them. Her hand the farthest away from him began to run over the grass and a small rabbit of pure black came to her hand.
"Hey there." she said with a smile as the bunny nuzzled into her hand. She giggled and began petting the bunny.

Corsiar leand back puytting his hands on the ground slightly behind him. He looked up at the canopy and felt the slight stirrings of homesickness. He missed the grove only he and the animals had known of back home. It had been a place that for fourteen years had been his own spot to just go and be alone. He missed it alot. This made things seem more lie home than the entire Academy and city.
"Thanks for bringing me here. It reminds me alot of my own little grove." he said

The beauty was indeed deep and the little rabbit left as Midori returned her attention to the man next to her. He was really cute and it seemed that this clearing really touched him in many ways. She smiled as he lay down and she turned her face to look at him.
"Anytime, heck if you ever want to come back and can not remember the way, come get me. I will bring you back." she said with a smile.
It was perfect here. Just the two of them. Both nature lovers in some aspects here in this peaceful place alone. The hustle and bustle of the city had been left behind and she could only smile. Here was her new home. Sure she slept at the academy but she had a feeling she would be spending a lot of time here in this grove. Hopefully, she would have company.
"So what are your hobbies?" she asked softly.

"Oh I'll rmemebr the way alright. It's not hard to get to once you know where it is. But I still might come find you anyways." he said with a chuckle. "As for my hobbies. they unclude reading, running and hunting for the runes that give me some of my powers. I don't have much more than that. Except dancing and writeing. I only have a few hobbies but I spend alot of time with all of them. How about yourself?" He asked.

She smiled at him gently as he began to tell her about his hobbies. And she could see him doing each and every one of them too. It was amazing how cute he was, even his hobbies could be equally justified as cute.
"Me? Well I like to garden, I practically turned my room into one." she giggled. "I like to walk in the woods and I love playing with animals. I read some but english is very hard to read sometimes especially old english."
She let her hand run through the grass in between them feeling the stalks and blades of the soft material. She closed her eyes and breathed in the wonderful scent of the place.
"Tell me about your family, if you don't mind." she said softly.

"Wekk thgere's not much to really say. They are great people mind you. But my mother and father have nothing of particular traits that stand out. You'de like my mom thoug. She loves gardening. It's her main hobby." He said with a shrug. Truth was that he was the only one that stuck out in his family.
"What about you. What sort of family do you have. Is it much different from a human?" he asked.

Midori could only smile. She enjoyed the very short story about his family. She didn't mind that it was short but it was really hard to get to know someone when they were so skimpy on details. But she figured that things might come out more often when they got to know each other better.
"My family? Well I don't have one. See when you are royal you are born alone. You do not have parents or siblings. You are alone in your reign and alone in your childhood if that's what you can call it. So I do not have one sadly. But, maybe I can see what a family is like one day. I've seen faerie families and I think they are similar to human families but I would still like to experience being in one. Just once, you know?" she asked letting her hand lay in the grass between them as she looked up at the sun filtering in through the canopy.
"I would like to have a family of my own one day. Maybe I can change the way the royal family works. Maybe I can create a royal family one day. So my son or daughter doesn't have to be alone." she said with a sigh.

Corsair put a hand on hers. "Being alone can be hard. I'm glad I had my parents and that they were average people. It let me have a normal life." he said with a smile as he scooted to sit a little closer to Midori. "And if you want a family one day. Well you are royalty and it seems like you'll be the head person. So it's by your rules. so if you want a family you can have one." he said with a smile.

She felt his hand on hers and she carefully entwined their fingers. He shifted closer and she tried so hard not to blush. But she couldn't help it. A small pink blush colored her pale cheeks as she smiled over at him. There was something about him that made her want to get closer. So following suit she scooted just a bit closer to him too.
"You are right. That might be a welcome change for future generations." she admitted. "What are your plans for the future? After school, do you have any plans?"
She let her thumb stroke the back of his hand very lightly. Her thumb was smooth and had no callouses on it.

"I plan to get stronger and use my powers to help other the way I was helped as a child. Keeping a sense of peace in this world or at least some balance. I think in terms of career it's the only option left for me. Or at least the only one I left myself. But I don't mind. I'll be able to give a bit of what happened for me back to the world." he said with a distant smile

She smiled as she turned on her side her one hand releasing his so the other could take it as she fully faced him now. Her green hair pooled down around her and her eyes looked right at him.
"I think that is noble. But not only that but if you find the right girl you could have a partner with you. And together maybe you would be able to accomplish a great deal. I would like to travel more after school. See the world. See what the other cultures have. I want to learn as much as I can about everything." she said her eyes bright with excitement.
"What is your biggest dream?" she asked happily as she watched him with her bright green eyes.

"Perhapes I could convince you to come with me for at least while we are both here at the Academy. I like having you around and I'm sure it would be fun." he said smiling hoping she would accept. He thought about the idea and he personally liked it very much. he hoped it was the same for her.
"As for the dream. I would have to say it is having a family of my own and being able to raise my children in a world where the races of our world are able to be accepted anywhere. I jst would rather have some somplicity along with the longtime quest I'm setting up for myself." he said

She chuckled and blushed at his comment. He seemed to really want her to come along. She smiled at him and her fingers stroked the back of his hand absently.
"I would love to come. As I want to travel and it would be great to be able to go anywhere with you I think. So maybe, when we both graduate, or whatever it is you do at this academy. We can go off together and seek what you are looking for. I too want my own family. As I said before."
She smiled up at him. It seemed they had a lot of similar ideals and she liked that. She never thought that she would ever have this much in common with anyone human. And then by some strange meeting in the training fields she had and now look at her. She was holding his hand and they were rather close.
