She hadn't been outside in forever it felt like and at the moment, Lurai realized how much it meant to her. She walked through the maze of plants, her body taking her to one place and then the next, not ever really looking where she was going. She just let herself wander, at the moment that was all she wanted. She let her fingers graze across the plants a smile coming to her face. She leaned against the brush, closing her eyes and smelling the air. Nothing quite like a morning walk, when the dew was still fresh, and the birds just waking.
She started to hum to herself an old Irish song that Flynn had taught her.
"The pale moon was rising above the green mountain The sun was declining beneath the blue sea When I strayed with my love to the pure crystal fountain That stands in beautiful vale of Tralee. She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer Yet, 'twas not her beauty alone that won me Oh no! 'Twas the the truth in her eye ever beaming That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee. The cool shades of evening their mantle were spreading And Mary all smiling was listening to me The moon through the valley her pale rays was shedding When I won the heart of the Rose of Tralee. Though lovely and fair as the rose of the summer Yet, 'twas not her beauty alone that won me Oh no! 'Twas the the truth in her eye ever beaming That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee."
She sang skipping through the hedges her eyes still closed just letting her bliss take her through.

Jumper had just gotten Lucy back to the mansion and was going to try and take some time to himself and try and work things out in his head. Even if it meant talking to the little girls drawing she had given him. He had transversed the hedge maze numerous times already using his speed. He had found the center and the set of marble benches that were there. As he sat and looked up to the sky and tried to think abou twhat to do he heard a soft humming. And then a soft song as he noticed Lurai come skipping around.
He had remembered the last words she had spoken to him in the hanger and was unsure how she would take to him being here. Though her eyes were closed he was sure she would have picked up his scent at any moment. So he spoke softly. "Nice melody Lurai."

Having been so lost in her joy when words breeched her silence, for the first time in her life, she was caught off guard and tripped over her feet falling to the ground on her face. Her eyes widened as she stared at concrete. She couldn't believe it. This had never happened before. She rolled onto her back and looked up at Kyle, her heart freezing. She felt her eyes widen as she looked at him. The words from before seeping into her mind. She cringed slightly at her harsh nature. She was trying to belong to the human world now, and stop being wild and thinking about it now she realized how harsh her words were.
She didn't really know what to say. She felt her face heat up with a rush of emotions, mostly embarrassment, the thing that Jumper himself had taught her about. "Thanks" was about all she could muster with the thoughts rushing in her head. She wanted more than anything to tell him she was so sorry and beg for his forgiveness, but that wasn't Lurai's style, even if she was trying to change.

Jumper's brow raised as he watched Lurai fall. That definitly wasn't like her. Plus the look of surprise at seeing him. She hadn't noticed his presence till it was to late. He slipped from the bench and walked over. All in all Jumper was a good guy. So he walked to Lurai and reached out to offer her a hand getting up. If she was anything like last time she would refuse and put up her tough rough front, much like how Jumper put up his cocky front.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you, are you alright?" He asked casually. His other hand reaching up and running through his hair.

Lurai nodded taking his hand to help her stand up. "Umm..." she said pulling her self up and looking at him a little awkwardly. When she had gotten up she'd stood fairly close to him. She looked up at him her face getting red again. "Umm...I...uh...wanted to....well...uhh" she said trying to get the words out, stuttering to him. "I'm sorry" she blurted out looking down avoiding his eyes. She felt herself grow nervous around him all of a sudden and it was really odd.

Again Jumper could only blink as not only did Lurai accept his hand, she apologized to him. His mouth hung open a moment as he was at a loss for words. She seemed very out of sorts and a bit nervous. He had wondered if he had caught her doing something wrong or if she snuck out or something like that. But Jumpers smile slipped to his face and he just waved it off. "Ohh don't worry about it. We all have our moments. You wanna stand here looking away from me or would you rather sit and look away from me?" As he motioned to the bench.

Lurai laughed looking up at the boy with a smile. "How about I sit and look at you?" she asked her ears perking up and out of impulse she jumped forward and hugged him. "Thank you" she said before he had a chance to say anything. She put her face in his chest and just sat there for a moment as she thought about Kyle and how kind he had been to her from the beginning. She pulled away smiling again and grabbing his hand and pulling him over to the marble chair and sitting down next to him. The whole time her the smile never leaving.

Jumper's arms wrapped around Lurai as she hugged him tightly, his one hand slipped lightly into her hair. He nodded lightly as he spoke. "You are more then welcome to sit and look at me as much as you like Lurai." He laughed a bit as she pulled him over to the bench and sat down. "So how are you feeling Lurai? I haven't seen you in a while. I mean your looking great." He grinned a bit.

Lurai smile grew wider if possible and she let out a little laugh. "Thank you. I'm doing much better, Miss Frost gave me some advice and well I realized a couple things, one of which is I'm not a wolf, as much as I sometimes wish I were" she said thinking about the whole dream and unconsciousness that her new found mother had put her through. "I guess all along I just wanted to be loved, to have a family, since well, I've never had one, a real one, and I think I felt weak cause I wanted that, but now I know that those kinds of people make you stronger, so I'm happier and I've been able to even make a new friend" she said looking at him with a light laugh. "I have a lot to learn. I'm a great fighter but I don't understand a lot, and to be stronger I have to learn more" she said with a new enthusiasm. She leaned back putting her hands on the marble to support her. She closed her eyes and tilted her head upward. A lot had changed since she came to the school. She inhaled a deep breath letting the sun rays of a new day coat her skin with warmth.
She'd changed physically and emotionally since she had arrived at her school, one thing she was definitely noticing was her hair was longer than it was before. It rested softly on her shoulders and she thought about how it had grown so fast in the past. 'It probably has to do with shedding' she thought to herself. She'd need to get it cut soon. Even more she was growing into a new self and as much as it frightened her, it made her even more excited.

Jumper had found himself looking at Lurai again and again. Though it was only a short time since they had seen each other. But she had seemed to have grown more into herself. Holding herself differently, and the excited smile and attitude made her all the more attractive. He reached up and carefully slid a long strand of Lurai's hair back. Realizing how soft and long it was.
"We all have things to learn Lurai, but I am glad you seem to be doing much better. And you are definitly showing a new life. We all want to be loved and it seems harder for those like us that are a bit different. So we seem to seek it more, or resent it more when we do not get it or when people do not get us." He wasnt so much talking to Lurai about her as much as he was talking about himself as well. Jumper had seemed to have changed a bit as well. He didn't throw out useless flirts and he wasn't trying to be all cocky. Though no matter what, he always kept his smile.

Lurai felt her face heat up at his soft touch. She looked down smiling into her lap. "You've changed some too" she said softly. "But its not bad" she said looking up at him and closing her eyes. She took in a deep breath. "I feel like I know you, even though we haven't known each other long, just being around you makes me happy" she said opening her eyes to look into his. "You just make me smile and you teach me a lot" she added picking up his other hand and putting it in hers. "I can't thank you enough for that."

Jumper chuckled and shook his head. "Nah, not me. Im just the same. Just took a little to realize I do not need to try and impress everyone." He shrugged a bit and as Lurai took his hand in hers and then he smiled squeezing her hand softly. "Well Im glad I can make you happy Lurai, and no matter what Im always around for you. I am sure there are plenty of things I can still show you. And there is no need to thank me. I enjoy it. You are one of the most interesting, and if I can say so. pretty girls I know. " He grinned and winked. He wasn't flirting this time, he was actually just talking.

Lurai grinned. "I may just take you up on that offer" she said referring to the idea of showing her things. "Thank you, I've never been called pretty before" she said thinking about it. "I never really got to think of that stuff to be honest" she said looking down slightly. "Oh maybe you can help me get back into the lake. Ever since the other day, well....I just....um" she said not really willing to admit the fact that she was afraid to get back into the water after Magneto had almost killed her. She looked up at Kyle noticing his silver hair and how good looking he really was. She didn't really think of that stuff before, but now she just couldn't help but notice.

"Your welcome Lurai. I do not see why you havent been called pretty. Perhaps its because you let your hair grow out some. It looks great." Smiling still, though he didn't look away from her. He was growing more comfortable around her as she seemed to settle in more. And allow herself to get a bit closer to him. Squeezing her hand again softly. "You want to go swimming back at the lake? Ummmm sure, why not?" Jumper hadn't been filled in as to what happened at the lake with Lurai and Magneto. "Maybe we can make a lunch date out of it?" His brow raised as he asked.

Lurai's face heated even more. "Um, well you see" she said looking at the ground, not really sure she could look him in the eyes. "I'm afraid" she said pulling away slightly. "When the fight broke out I was training and" she paused not really sure if she should tell him or if he would care to know. 'He's a friend and he cares' she told herself. "He tried to kill me, drown me in the lake" she said, feeling ashamed of being so weak. "So I'm afraid to get back in, I just keep seeing his face."
