{Danny} A Day At The Beach

[[.Rabbit.David.Mystic Pearl.]]

Mystic gets out of Danny's truck carefully, and shuts the door behind her. Luckily, they won't have to walk too far--the actual waterfront is only a couple meters away from where they're parked right now. Mystic glances over at Danny. She'd rather follow him, than go on ahead. She's much too shy for that.

[[Jeni Lee : Danny : Graci]]

Danny smiles lightly as he looks out over the water. He walked towards Mystic slowly. "It's nice out here. It's funny how easy it is to miss this." he said softly. He offered his hand as he prepared to walk towards the water.

[[.Rabbit.David.Mystic Pearl.]]

Mystic smiles and places her hand in Danny's. "It's beautiful...Looks like fun." Still smiling, Mystic lightly bites her lower lip. Should Danny ask if anything's wrong, she'll just tell him either the standard "nothing", or just say she's afraid of someone thinking badly of her. The second of which is pretty true. But the absolute truth is, she's pretty sore right now. But she doesn't want to worry Danny.

[[Jeni Lee : Danny : Graci]]

"Wow, that's some enthusiasm." he said with a teasing smile. He laughed lightly before taking his first steps onto the soft sand.

[[.Rabbit.David.Mystic Pearl.]]

Mystic follows, though slower than her normal pace, and watching the ground carefully, not wanting to trip or slip on anything.

[[Jeni Lee : Danny : Graci]]

Danny stopped, turning to face Mystic. Something wasn't exactly right, he just didn't know what, or why. "Um, are you okay, and I want the truth. No lies, or anything trying to make me feel okay."

[[.Rabbit.David.Mystic Pearl.]]

"Hm?" She glances up at Danny. FF00FF]"Just a little sore...And I don't want to fall." Though, it would probably take an uncoordinated idiot to fall in the sand--or someone who was running. Neither of which Mystic is doing/is.

[[Jeni Lee : Danny : Graci]]

"Well, as long as your okay, which you are, right?" he asked carefully, finding a place on the sand and waiting for Mystic to decide if it was okay to sit there.

[[.Rabbit.David.Mystic Pearl.]]

"Well, if it gets any worse," she says, sitting down carefully next to Danny, "I'll let you know right away."

[[Jeni Lee : Danny : Graci]]

He smiled. "Alright then." His gaze taken away to the ocean scene ahead of him, he smiled, more to himself than anyone else. He was so happy to be here, away from everything that was war. He loved the Army, but he didn't like war, who did?

[[.Rabbit.David.Mystic Pearl.]]

Mystic's been wondering, but afraid to ask, if Danny's just going to stay in the Army, until he gets too old...or dies. But she's not going to ask. She feels like it's none of her business anyway. She runs her hand through the sand beside her, drawing small shapes in it.

[[Jeni Lee : Danny : Graci]]

He looks at her and smiles. Could he risk his life, still doing what he was doing, if she wanted anything to do with him besides just friends? He sighed deeply, mostly out of thought. He didn't know. He couldn't go off and fight wars, but that's the only job he'd ever known. He was confused, and his grey-blue optics revealed his emotions.

[[.Rabbit.David.Mystic Pearl.]]

Mystic frowns a little. "What's wrong?" she asks softly, then hesitates for a second before reaches over and holding his hand. She gives his hand a soft squeeze, as if to tell him he can tell her anything.

[[Jason : Ararinda : Abby]]

Her words catch him off guard. He offers an awkward smile. "Oh, nothing, that's all." he said softly.

[[.Rabbit.David.Mystic Pearl.]]

"Don't lie...I can see it in your eyes." She gives a small smile, hoping he'll just tell her what's bothering him. He made her tell the truth, now it's his turn.

[[Jason : Ararinda : Abby]]

He laughed lightly. "You can see it in my eyes eh, well, my eyes are playing tricks on you." he said with a smile. "Nothing's wrong."

[[.Rabbit.David.Mystic Pearl.]]

"Thjat's about as truthful as Bill Clinton," she says, taking her hand away from Danny's. She crosses her arms. She's mild-mannered, but when she wants to know something, she'll bug someone until she's satisfied.

[[Jason : Ararinda : Abby]]

"Well, even he, at least once, had to tell the truth, surely." he said with a laugh. "I assure you, nothing's wrong." he said, sighing deeply. But something was wrong, he was worried and it showed, although he tried to hide it.

[[.Rabbit.David.Mystic Pearl.]]

"Alright, fine," she says with a sigh, looking at the water. She'll bug him about it later, maybe. If there is a later. She wishes now he'd just have take the damn mission; assuming that's what's wrong now.

[[Jason : Ararinda : Abby]]

He looked at her. "Is this about me not taking that mission?" he asked, assuming that's what she was figuring was wrong, since she'd wondered earlier.

[[.Rabbit.David.Mystic Pearl.]]

"No," she says quietly, still watching the waves. As much as she feels like being pissed off, she manages to keep her voice normal, or just slightly irritated.

[[Jeni Lee : Danny : Graci]]

He gave her a glare that could tear the truth from a politician, his blue-grey eyes revealing everything inside him. "Mystic..." he said with soft words, those words that were so soft that anyone could tell he was slightly upset.

[[.Rabbit.David.Mystic Pearl.]]

"What?" She sighs and uncrosses her arms. "It's not fair...You made me tell the truth...so why are you BSing?" She picks up a handful of sand and watches it fall through her fingers.

[[Jason : Ararinda : Abby]]

He dropped his gaze and stared at the ground. He felt bad now, somewhat. He sighed deeply. "It's not the mission...I promise you that. I don't want to take it, and I'm not going to." he said, his words confident and sure. And it was true, that's not what was bothering him. He was worried that if something happened between the two of them, would he be able to drop the army after his term and just pick up a civillian job? He wasn't sure.

[[.Rabbit.David.Mystic Pearl.]]

"Alright.." She sighs and just plays with some sand, with one hand. She glances every once in a while over at Danny, but appears mostly to be concentrating on the sand. Not that it's all that interesting.
