Finduilas dove into the beautiful crystal clear water of the Memphian Falls letting her body recover from the past few days. Returning to the surface, she throw back her head allowing her hair to fall back in place as her smooth skinned body shimmered with the beautiful water. Sighing happily she looked around at the lovely sceen that surronded the falls. Smiling she looked around some more but to her disapoint ment she did not see anyone around to spend this relaxing swim with. |

A loud squawk broke the peaceful rumble of the constant crash of water over the falls and into the water river below. It sounded loudly and for a few seconds, then ceased, only to be repeated quieter and more quickly once. A loud snap followed these noises as a heavy creature stepped on and broke a fallen branch within the treeline. Its course went unchanged as it moved toward the waters edge, its golden feathers beautiful as they absorbed the sunlight. Its large beak clapped a few times while it leaned down to dip its tongue into the cool streaming waters, taking in the liquid with apparent pleasure. "Juine, you impatient buzzard, wait next time! I do not want to lose track of you yet again this trip!" Jarreth followed Juine's entrance, his hands wrapped around leather reigns, useless having been detached from the bird earlier. He wore a tunic and pants, out for a walk rather than expecting trouble. He had left his heavy armor at a camp about half an hour away. Unaware of the presence of Finduilas, he began to tend to Juine's equipment, his back to the woman. |

Finduilas saw the big bird and the man walk out of the woods and she regonized the man to be a member of the same guild as she. Gasping in horror for he knew of her curse, she ducked under the water. Swiming towards the other shores of the falls she returned to the sueface and scrambled onto the shore dashing towards her clothes. To her dismay how ever her clothes were on teh same side as the man and bird. To make matters worse as well, the large bird had started to make a nest from her clothes. Crying out in dismay she jumped back into the water to conceal herself. |

Jarreth patted Juine on the back of the birds neck after attaching the reigns back on the metal loops that protruded from Juine's harness. He looked over the bird's back and stared out into the wilderness, his eyes following the flow of water down to the horizon before scanning side to side. A lone buck stood at the shore far downstream, large antlers visible even at that distance, drinking from the clear Memphian River. At this time Jarreth noticed something awkward with Juine's movements and he looked down to see what trouble the chocobo was getting into this time. He was not entirely sure what he was looking at until Juine clipped a corner with his beak and lifted the dress off the ground. Jarreth was confused for a moment as he stared at the golden bird holding a woman's dress, but then he heard a loud splash. Spinning on his heel, he looked at the source of the commotion. A figure was beneath the water's surface, and it emerged quickly. Almost too late, he realized the long hair and thin face belonged to a woman. Spinning back around just as quickly as he had just a moment ago, he stared at his feet in embarresement. "M'lady!" he called, "I apologize for walking in whilst you were bathing! Please, I mean no harm and I shall leave you to your solitude immediately." Jarreth had not had time to recognize who the woman was; it was entirely innapropriate for him to spend even another instant pondering what he saw. With a quick movement, he took the dress from Juine before the bird could do any damage. Juine clapped his beak in protest but soon lost interest. Still speaking behind his own head, he called out again. "Your dress and my apologies again." He kneeled and rested the dress in a folded pile on the ground where Juine had found it initially. With a heavy tug of the reigns, he started the stubborn bird and began to walk back into the forest, his head faced entirely away from the bare woman during the entirety of the process. |

"Its okay Jarreth." Finduilas shouted, "I'm not leaving the water yet... you wont be seeing anything." Shes waited for him to return as she stayed in the depths of the water. "But if you would perfear I will place my gown back on." She added as she slowly began to swim towards the shore. Slowly she climbed out and placed her dress back on and headed towards the woods then stopped. "What I am I doing?" She asked herself allowed. "This man knows my secert... he has power over... Who knows what he could do?" She whispered to herself. |

"Does my mind deceive or are you Lady Finduilas?" came a questioning voice from the treeline in response to her initial call. He returned into view after she had made her comments to herself, oblivious to what was said. Jarreth stared into the forest while he backed out of the foliage to stand on the shore again. Juine was not in sight and might have been left pecking at the forest floor a few steps deeper. Still embarrased, the man would not dare turn around. He did not know if she remained unclothed and bathing or otherwise. "I apologize if my ears deceive me, but if you are Finduilas, I request an audience with you when you are finished. I need to apologize for our last conversation," he added, hoping he was not offending her by being near, even though he was doing all in his power to respect her state of dress. |

She giggled gently and walked over to him dripping wet but fully dressed. Gently she whispered into his ear in a teasing manner, "What do you have to be sorry about Sir Jarreth? It is me who should be saying sorry. As it was my falt for your pain." Kissing him genlty on the cheek like she hd done at their last incounter she moved before him. "I am very sorry Jarreth." She whispered looking into his deep brown eyes with her own sparkling green ones. "I did not mean to cause you pain or suffering. I hope you can forgive a werewolf from the bottom of her heart and more." She said continuing to whisper in her calm and gently voice. Finduilas was so embarressed about their last meeting at the guild that she prayed he would forgive her. Then again how could anyone forgive a werewolf. She might has welled have not asked him for forgiveness but offer him a silver tipped arrow. It would have done just about the same about of good if not more by ridding the world of yet another creature of the cure of the werewolf. |

While he was unfamiliar with the surtitle of "sir," he knew the voice belonged to Finduilas. This was only verified when, without warning, he felt a familiar sensation on his weather toughened cheek. His head shifted to catch her in his view and followed her until she was standing directly in front of him. He watched her face for a moment and then let his eyes wander to her shoulders, showing the damp condition of her attire. He felt terrible that she had not had a chance to dry and now had to suffer in the wet clothing. At least it was warm out. He was about to reply to her and ask how it was her fault when she continued to speak. She apologized against his desire, she could not control his sudden blackout. He really did not know what she was talking about: all he could remember was staring at the ceiling until the world was covered in shadow and he fell to unconcious darkness. Confused, he did not even realize that it might have been the protection given to her by himself. Then she said that word: werewolf. "Finduilas," he said slowly, watching her eyes, "what is a werewolf?" |

"What is a werewolf? I am a werewolf Jarreth... I turn into a wolf every full moon... that is the pain you felt when you put the spell us... you felt the pain of me transforming." She whispered looking down at her hands that she held together. "I was bitten by a werewolf as a child and have been cursed with transforming once a month for an entire night. " Finduilas looked up at Jarreth as she said this to him. "And you didn't know what a werewolf was?" She adds surprised. Finduilas had never heard of someone not knowing what a werewolf was and what they meant. They meant the spread of the curse or disease as some called it. "I've never met someone before that did not know what a werewolf. " She whispered blushing. |

"And I have never met someone who was a werewolf," came a quiet reply as Jarreth showed absolutely no emotion or reaction on his face. He had no idea what to think or believe and was absolutely torn. His expression, or lack of one, was not a lack of interest, but rather a middle ground between all of his possible reactions. "So I suppose that makes it a first for both of us." His hand moved forward without his consent to brush across Finduilas's arm. It felt normal, natural, like any other person. His hand continued to her shoulder, up her neck, and to her cheek. All normal. He almost did not believe her, but it could explain what had happened in the guild all those nights ago. A wolf. Finally, there was some motion on his face. His brow folded in with confusion and his head tipped slightly to the side. His lips parted slowly, as if he was trying to speak but had yet to form the words. With obvious thought, he asked his questions. "If it is a disease, can it be cured? Do you enjoy your time as a wolf, Findiulas?" His hand dropped back down from her cheek to rest on his hilt. He hated magic. The only thing that stayed his hand was his knowledge that the woman before him was pure and good. He waited for her reply as thoughts of obscure medicines that he had heard about during his travels raced through his mind. ((OOC: I apologize for the long awaited reply. It was a mixture of being busy and not being able to decide how Jarreth would react to this situation :))) |

She stood there her eyes falling lightly shut as he touched her so gently. His hand was rough from his use of the sword but in their own way very soft to her touch. Opening her eyes very slowly as he asked her about a cure she looke down at her bare feet and whispered, "The cure is to recieve silver directly to the heart ending in me returning to the human form as I die never to arise again." Looking up at him from looking down at her feet she blushed and whispered in even a quieter voice, "Strangly enough yes I do like being in wolf form but I do like being in my human form much more.... I just enjoy the freedom of being a wolf... at the same time though Jarreth this freedom comes at a terrible price... I am always being chased for the places or even away from the people I love just because I am what I am. I can't help what I am... I was bitten at the age of a year..." She told him this and as she finished her eyes dropped down to the ground once again as tears spilled from them. |

Jarreth placed his hand on Finduilas's shoulder as she sank down to the ground in tears. He hated to see a woman cry, especially like this. She did not deserve these horrible feelings. With a gentle squeeze of reassurance on her shoulder, he comforted her with all the care he could find in his heart. That was a lot, especially for such a kind hearted woman like Finduilas was. For the moment, he assured himself that so long as he was near, the closest silver could get to her heart would be a decorative pendant. "Please, dry your eyes. You should not have to cry for the darkness of other's hearts." A white glow covered Jarreth's palm and sank into Finduilas's body. The potent magic of calm emotions seeped into the woman's mind and heart, lifting her spirits. Jarreth was thankful that his God granted the woman a reprieve from her pain. Dropping to a knee himself, he watched Finduilas's head, awaiting the time that she would look up and see his face. His hand remained on her shoulder, at the base of her neck. His fingers gently massaged her skin as he tried to coax her to speak with him some more. A smile rested across his lips, prepared to show her that at least one person was not running. "It is good to be free," came a comment in nearly a whisper. |

Finduilas looked up at him slowly and whispered in return, "Its belong thought of how wonderful it feels to run free... I love running in the form of a wolf through the snow... Its like a cold paridise." She smiled at her friend genlty and was so happy that she had met him. Blushing bright red in the face she slowly dried her tears and throw her arms around his neck in a tight hug. "Thank you for being so kind and understanding...." She whispered tears starting to stream down her young face once again. Without even thinking the young werewolf pressed her face into Jarreth's neck and kissed it lightly in thanks. "You are a wonderful friend." Finduilas whispered into his ear. She had such strong feelings towards this man but she did not know what the feelings were of really. Were they friendship, a love for him as a brother or maybe... just maybe even more. |

He could not help but be filled with a warm feeling inside as Finduilas wrapped her arms around him. She was so genuinely happy, which was only magnified by her innocence. He sank into the hug and returned it with a tight squeeze, reveling in the wondrous feeling of bringing the light to another soul. For once in a long time, the smile on his face was not forced and felt right. Usually he had no need to smile, just did so because it was good to show happiness so openly. This time, the smile was beyond his control and it would not be shaken. His face ran hot and his cheeks, those so incapable of blushing, turned red. He felt something soft brush his neck, and he was fairly certain they were the young woman's lips. Turning his mouth toward the young girl, he responded with a whisper into her ear as well. "You deserve nothing else in this world, m'lady, except the most wonderful." His breath came out light, soft, and warm as he felt the soft breeze coming from his mouth deflect partially off of her ear and neck. Pulling his head back slowly, he stared into her eyes, mouth still possessed by a smile. Resting his palm at the back of the girls head, he slowly urged it forward as he extended his neck, kissing her on her forehead. "You do know that you can be free as a woman, not just as a wolf." It was more of a statement than a question. |

Finduilas was in heaven as he was held in his arms. Sighing happily she smied at his kind words and whispered back, "You don't have to call me m'lady... Just Finduilas or even Duilas is fine." Smiling as she felt his breath on her neck she kissed his neck again sighing with happiness. As he pulled her close smiling and kissing her forehead she looked up at Jarreth with genty bright green eyes. Smiling at him she softly stroked one of his cheek with the back of head right hand. "You are so sweet and gently, M'Lord" She whispered her own cheeks turning the darkest shade of blood red. Duilas could not believe how lucky she was to have met such a wonderful man who accepted her for just who she was without questions. As he made the staatement about her being able to be free not only when she was a wolf, she cocked her head to the side still clinging to him. "But I am a perisoner of the full moon." She whispered questioning Jarreth's statement. Wondering if it really was possible to be free not only just as a wolf. "Is it really possible to be free while in human form?" She asked herself in the tiniest of whispers. |
