Something quiet is lurking on the lakebank.

In and out behind the rocks, dark splashes, soft noises.

[ooc: sorry about that, folks, was kidnapped for business but am returned.]

He jumped for her, and they went tumbling to the ground, with her hugging him even able to see him as both of the things he was.

And she was smiling and laughing and it makes sense, because he knows, and even if he knows, and even right now knowing doesn't matter as much, it's like....like fire works and summer and the way snow falls and desert wind blows, because they are young....and more than anything they know how to believe.

He's giggling and he's a happy looking boy, even through the too-thin hungry features. It hasn't been easy, but he's happy.

Allie is giggling as she pushed herself up from the ground and grass falls from her hair.

"See you could play like this. I don't think very many people could see through it."

He looks down at himself, marvelling at the... this.

'It's not too hard to do really," Allie said thoughtfully. "I don't know really when it'll stop, or how it works if I go to sleep or something happens to me. I've never done it like this before."

He doesn't care how long it lasts, so long as he gets to go find Le Chiffre.

Which is true. She's never done it just to make someone happy. Well, maybe, when she showed Luke so his dad could find peace. But that was for peace, not for someone to move forward in joy.

It could last a very long time or very a short one.

Allie nodded at the words, "Yes, do! You should enjoy it."

His voice is starting to become tearful. He's never imagined being like this again. He clambers to his feet.

He has to go find Le Chiffre.

"Bye!"

Allie was sitting in the grass still, grinning broadly as she watched him go running off. There was no slight to it and it made her feel a bit better about everything in the last day.

She'd done something very good.

And it made her feel good about who she was and what she could do aside from hiding or healing. And she'd found the plants and a new friend.

This was a nice night.
