First time at the lake (Open)

[Luna Alice James]

Luna looked at him and started to write in her notepad again. It said: My name is Luna Alice James. But you can call me Luna nice to meet you Dare.' Smiled Luna, kinda liked the name Dare but she didn't know why.

[Dare Blackwood-Hardt]

"Luna Alice James," Dare repeated. "That's your whole name, not just your first, right?" he teased lightly, finally pushing back to his feet to stand. He looked out over the shoreline to see if he could spot Michael, but there was no dark-red hair to be seen. He decided he must have gotten out of class late and turned his full attention back to Luna.

[Luna Alice James]

Luna giggled and nodded to show that her first name was only Luna. Then she looked at him wondering what or who he was looking for and she started to write in her notepad. 'Is something wrong? Are you looking for someone or something?' It said Luna was wondering if he needed help.

[Dare Blackwood-Hardt]

Caught! Dare's left hand rose to rub absently against the back of his neck, the ring on his finger glinting silver and copper in the sunlight. "I was supposed to have lunch with someone, but he's late. I'm starting to wonder if Peeves got him," he said. He wasn't worried, not really, but the last few weeks they'd been working to spend as much time together as possible. Dare looked back at Luna, dropping his hand. "I'm not in a hurry or anything though," he said.

[Luna Alice James]

Luna looked Dare then wrote this. 'Is he your best friend this person? If you want I can help you find him and when we find him I will leave so you two can spend some time together. I wouldn't mind I have Artemis and Apollo' Luna smiled then looked at her black cat and started to pet her.

[Dare Blackwood-Hardt]

Dare's lips curved into a soft smile. "Yeah," he said softly, nodding. "He's my best friend." There wasn't any better way to put it without launching into an explanation that he wouldn't feel right giving an eleven year old girl. There wasn't any better way to put it, period. "If you aren't doing anything, he's probably sitting somewhere around the lake." He didn't want to tell the girl that she had to leave when he finally found Michael, but he wasn't sure it would be a good idea asking her to sit with them, either. Their conversation, verbal or otherwise, wasn't suitable for mixed company.

[Luna Alice James]

Luna looked at Dare and nodded at him, she got up from petting Artemis. "Should we get going now and find your friend? Umm do you want to lead the way " asked Luna in a soft and sweet voice, she kinda felt weird using her voice but for some reason she felt like using it.

[Dare Blackwood-Hardt]

A moment of surprise flickered into Dare's eyes, then his lips curved again. Apparently he'd been wrong on both counts. He didn't comment though, not just yet. His brother was painfully shy, so he knew better than to launch into questions about it. He'd ask at some point, but until then he'd just hope she'd keep talking. "I'll lead," he said, gesturing with a slight nod of his head toward the path he'd been on.

"I ought to tell you what he looks like," he said, then paused a moment before bringing his hand up just past the level of his eyebrows. "He's about this tall, dark red hair, and dresses nothing like me." She'd never recognize Michael if she was looking for another guy in skinny jeans, a band tee, and wristbands.

[Luna Alice James]

"Okay I try m..y hardest to find him." said Luna softly. She started to look around so far she had no luck finding Michael. Luna's throat was starting to hurt, she thought it was weird because she hardly spoke maybe she was getting. Luna didn't worry because she always got sick. "Sorry I can't find him but I am ..goin..g to do my best." said Luna softer.

[Dare Blackwood-Hardt]

"It's okay if you don't find him," Dare assured Luna. "I don't see him, either. At least we're getting a walk, right?" And it was finally warm enough for him to get out in a tee instead of his coat, though he didn't trust the weather not to get cold again. He didn't want Luna to feel bad for not being able to find someone she'd never even met, and he could hear her voice giving out, so he didn't prompt her to talk again just now.

[Luna Alice James]

Luna nodded when Dare said it was okay. Luna looked up at the sky and smiled, it was such a pretty day it kinda of reminded her of the last day she spent with her parents. Luna and her parents had a picnic and they also went to the beach. Luna started to feel tears and wiped the off quickly before Dare saw her crying.
