There was no where that Ziare would rather be than dancing in Jyo's arms. She too noticed some of the people pulling off the dance floor as they watched the couple dance. The musicians seemed inspired as though the song should have ended a few minutes ago they kept playing it was almost as if it was a contest on who could last longer.
"I think they are challenging us." she said laughing after she came back from being spun. "Bet we win."

He smiled and nodded. "Indeed we will. In fact let's see if they can match the pace we can set." He said with a chuckle as they started dancing even faster. He knew Ziare didn't have the footwork he had aquired. nor the speed he could really move at. but she still had abilites better than the average person so the pace he set was one she could probably easily catch up with.

Ziare smiled and began to match Jyo's pace easily. It took a few minutes before the band realized they were moving faster and picked up the pace laughing. The people dancing around them seem to think it was too fast and many got off the dance floor but Jyo and Ziare were going to dance for a while. At least that's what Ziare wanted. She loved dancing and dancing with Jyo was even better.

Jyo lead Ziare into a few more moves he figured she could easily pick up. Several of them had the two of them pressing against each other then keeping their hands clasped as he spun her outwars and leaned her back while supporting her. It put a large smile on his face seeing she was having so much fun after they had found out about her mother.
He kept the dance up with her until the band would finally be done. he wasn't even close to tired out and he hoped Ziare wasn't either.

The band continued to play for several minutes before they too finally needed a break all that playing and they were getting tired. But Ziare was far from tired it was going to be a long night and she had the energy for it. With the band surrendering Ziare laughed and she and Jyo stopped dancing. She was thirsty but other than that she was not in the least ready to call it a night. She didn't say anything as she was slightly out of breath but took Jyo's hand and led him to the refreshments table picking up two drinks and heading back for the small haybale they had shared earlier. She sat down and consumed her drink quickly it had a little alcohol in it and she coughed having drank it way too fast and not realizing it had an alcohol content.
Ziare leaned her head against Jyo's shoulder. This was the perfect place to be right now. There would be plenty of time in the morning to talk to her family or at least before they left it was only Friday and they didn't leave til Sunday morning.
"One more dance and then we might sneak off back to our spot. I'd like to see that stars with you there." she told him into his ear and kissed his cheek gently.

Jyo drank his drink in smaller amounts. He was soon done though. he could tell there was some Alcohol in it. But it wasn't any more potent than the drink he had made for Ziare and himself when they went camping.
He smiled feeling her lean against him and put his arm around her. "Another dance does sound nice. Mabey a slower one. Just a nice relaxing dance. But then I'd love to go out with you to that spot during the night." He said smiling.
Ember was being fawned over by most of the kids at this festival. He was showing his contempt for humanity which Ziare and Jyo could pick up on around most people. But he saw an innocence in children. He would always like children of any race. They held the future in their hands and Ember knew if he could help them be more open-minded they wouldn't be like the ones the slaughtered his family and race.
He let them stroke their small hands through his fur and even let a few ride him. Soon he sat down and the kids sat around him and he could be heard telling them some of the stories from his own past. but not the sad ones. Just the good ones.
"He's come a long way from when he and I met." Jyo said.

Ziare looked over and saw the children climbing on and playing with the fire wolf. He looked so cute that way playing with the children and telling them stories. The children of course were mesmerized by the wolf.
"Tell us another Mr. Ember." said a bright eyed child sitting in front of Ember with the others.
Ziare laughed and winked at Ember. Jyo was right he had come a very long way since she had met him in the least. Seemed he didn't mind being around people so much. Ziare missed Armenius very much that constant voice or presence in her mind was gone and there was a void. But she was still mad at him and didn't plan to talk to him til the morning. Armenius was at least respecting that.
The band started up again and as if Jyo had control they began a slow sweeping melody for sweethearts and couples.

Ember gave a sigh. But it was one more geared to amusment and simply because he was slightly worn out and thinking. "Very well. I shall tell you of a recent and great battle. Many young people became heros that day. Two of them are here with us right now." He said and told the children of the beast invasion battle both Jyo and Ziare had fought in. Naturally he left out the gory details. But the actualy elements of the battle were in the story.
Jyo and Ziare got up to dance while Ember told the children of the battle. Even some of the adults listend to this. Several glances went over to Ziare and Jyo as they dance with a fluid grace. A smile was on Jyo's face as he looked down into Ziare's eyes. "Thak you for bringing me. You have lived in such a wonderful place and the people here are good folk. Now winder you turned out to be such an amazingly great person." He said leading her in the slow dance.

Ziare blushed under his complement something she didn't do very often with him since she had grown accustomed to him so easily. But there it was again and it was nice to know he still held that power for her.
"Well, one day I'd like to visit your families home it would be nice to see where you grew up." she told him not taking her eyes off his own. "And as for bringing you why ever wouldn't I? I love you Jyo and I want to share everything about me with you. Plus my family needed to meet you unless I've very mistaken we're quite serious and it was time to show you where I came from."
She danced in Jyo's arms with grace. She heard Ember telling the story of the great battle they had both fought in and she smiled. It had been wonderful having Jyo by her side that day.

"Yes wer are serious. I'm glad I got to know where you came from. It's wonderful." He said as they danced along. Nobody left the dance area like last time. but as the dance Jyo and Ziare was one where they moved around they were giving respect as others moved to the side as Jyo led Ziare through the steps.
He listed to Ember's story somewhat partway though most of his attention was on his love for right now. The children listening were wide-eyed with awe. Ziare was known well around here so the fact a person from this place in such a battle was amazing. And then there was them person she brought along who also had a hand in the battle as well as the one telling the story.

Ziare looked over at the children and chuckled they were cute their eyes wide and thier attention caught up in the story. The kept looking at the dancing couple as if it was unbelievable that such a feat could have been done by these two love birds. The song ended rather quickly but truth was Ziare was ready to be alone with Jyo again. She wanted to take him back to thier special place and watch the stars and sleep with him out there in thier special place.
"Are you ready for a walk Jyo?" she asked knowing he would know what she meant.

Jyo nodded and the two of them quietly slipped out unnoticed. He smiled. "As much fun as I had I'm glad to get away to be with you alone." he said as they walked. Soon they got far enough away the festival couldn't be noticed in any way. Almost like it had never been there. Even though it was a clear night with a large full moon the tree cover made it almost impossible to see. jyo had a remedy. he riased the arm not arouns Ziare and his palm face up as a flame lit up in his hand and stayed there lighting the way. "Much better." he said.
Soon they came to the clearing and Jyo put out his flame. he looked around taking in the sight and looked back down to Ziare. "So my love. Are you as content with things as I am?' He asked smiling.

Ziare smiled at seeing her clearing everything just felt right here. It was wonderful. She lay down in the grass staring at the stars as she heard Jyo's question. She looked over.
"I'm not sure I understand what you mean, love." she told him looking confused.

Jyo lay down next to her. "I mean just being here with each other. The two of us and nobody else for now." He said taking off his coat and laying it aside and then put his arms around Ziare

Ziare smiled and cuddled up into Jyo's strong waiting arms.
"I am perfectly happy when it's just us. It's so wonderful us underneath the stars lying in my favorite spot in the arms of my love. There could be no happier place for me at the moment." Unless he proposed which was probably not likely this was the perfect spot just to be with Jyo and enjoy thier closeness. The stars were extreemly bright and she lay back her hand trailing up and down Jyo's arm softly.
