Seoras perched off to one side of a wooden park bench beneath a large and especially leafy tree. The shade was very welcome, his pale skin did not enjoy the sun's attention. The sun had disappeared behind increasingly darker clouds as the day had passed, Seoras just sitting on the bench writing in his thick notebook. He rarely noticed the passage of time, and he wouldn't have cared if he had. His parents knew where he was and they knew his habits, so they wouldn't worry. Plus, he had a cell phone if they really wanted to reach him.
A better description of his actions would have been trying to write. Poetry, stories, thoughts, anything would go in his book. Today, his muse was clearly on vacation, as the page he was turned to had a few eraser bits and faded words, but nothing else. Seoras needed some inspiration, any inspiration, anything to alleviate the boredom of sitting there without ideas. Even a distraction would do...

Angel sat on a bench working on her music. She had finished writing a song and wanted to play it fully. She took her guitar out of the case and pulled the strap over her head. She then set the book on her knee as she played the tune singing along
"Runaway, runaway Breathe this in The water's wait, water's wait Wide awake, wide awake Breathe this in The water's wait, water's wait Asking if you are
Erased, everything within you will feel Erased now
Erased, everything within you will feel Erased now
Everyday, everyday Houses full of no escape, no escape Runaway, runaway It starts to pull He's in this place, in this place To question who you are
Erased, everything within you will feel Erased now
Erased, everything within you will feel Erased now
Who am I? Now Who am I? I will fade
Who am I? Now Who am I? I will fade
Erased, everything within you will feel Erased now
Erased, everything within you will feel Erased now
Who am I? everything within you will feel Now Who am I?
Who am I? everything within you will feel Now Who am I? everything within you will feel
Erased now
Erased now
Erased now
Erased now "
She stopped playing thinking of anything to add or to take away

Apparently it would be the distraction. Seoras perked up, sure he had heard something. Music...and a voice...He got up, stretched, and looked around. His eyes weren't helping, so he decided to follow his ears. He walked out from beneath the tree and started walking. The music got louder, and he started to make out the words...not bad, not something he had heard before, but not bad.
"Actually very good..." he thought. Seoras saw another bench, and this one had a girl on it, playing a guitar and singing. Not just any girl either, he guessed, noticing her wardrobe's similarity to his own. He stood against a tree, afraid to inturrupt her lest she stop.
The girl ended her song, so he walked up quietly. He clapped softly, saying "That was beautiful...did you write it?" By the open book on her lap seemed to suggest so.

"Oh be still my beating heart..." he thought as she looked up. Not only was her music lovely and her voice was lovely, but she herself was as well...This was DEFINATELY a good distraction he told himself...
"Oh, thank you..." he said, sitting down next to her. "My name's Seoras, Seoras Reinard." He put out his hand, a bit timidly, to be shaken or not.

Angel...a very fitting name...He smiled as well as they shook hands. "It is very nice to meet you too, Angel." Seoras glanced upwards, feeling a drop of water fall on his head. "I would love to continue this conversation, but I would suggest we do so under the pavillion over there," he said, pointing. "I'd prefer not to get soaked if I don't have to." He stood up and looked back down at her. "Need help carrying your stuff?"

Angel looked up seeing few small raindrops falling but she knew more would come. " um sure, thanks" she said as she grabbed her guitar and stuffed it in the case quickly but not enough to damage it. She grabbed her notbeook and put it into her bag as she and Seoras walked to the pavillion.

Seoras, slightly behind Angel, stepped under the pavillion just as the sky opened up. The ground was instantly soaked, but they were dry. Very lucky...
"Wow, that was close...I feel bad for anyone still out there..." he said with a slight smile. He placed her guitar case gently on one of the picnic tables under the pavillion and sat down on the bench, facing outwards. "Looks like we'll be stuck here for awhile until the rain lets up..." Seoras didn't really know what to say, starting conversations wasn't usually his strong point...

" no kidding" she said placing her stuff on the bench. She stood and watched everyone scatter to get somewhere dry. Angle turned to look at him " ya i guess so, in that time what would you like to do?" she asked him

"Might as well get to know each other, I've lived here long enough to know storms that build up for this long aren't going to blow out in five minutes..." Seoras shifted on the bench, sitting "Indian-style" and facing Angel more directly. "I know it's not considered polite to age a lady's age, but in this case I will make an exception." For some reason, he was feeling a lot more...smiley...now than he had during the morning, as he hadn't stopped since he had learned her name.

"Oh, aren't we the forward one? Well, I like flirting with pretty girls in the rain and..." he glanced at his notebook beside him. "I've been told I have a gift for writing, just not today apparently...My muse has abandonned me; I wonder what she'll say when I tell her I've found someone else?" Seoras grinned up at Angel, half-way to giggling. "What about you?"

"So it is, so it is..." Seoras stood up and drew her into a hug. "You don't have to, I'm all yours." So what if he sounded a little crazy? She was beautiful, and she liked him, and that was good enough for Seoras. Sanity was not really a proposed requirement. "Really? Please, share. Your gift for music is obvious."
