~Theon~
(Too lazy to put the image into greyscale)

Theon ran his hands through his hair repeatedly feeling where the new ends were. He felt so much lighter now. "It's perfect, it'll still get in my face some but its not like I need to see. At least it's a lot more manageable now."

Ase~
"Glade you like it." She smiled before placing the scissors aside. "So what should we do now?" She asked looking about the tunnel. There wasn't much they could do, save for taking a walk though that was dangerous.

~Theon~
Theon stood and turned towards Ase, "Look... about last night..." It was going to be tough, but he needed to tell her the truth.

Ase~
His tone scared her. "Yes?" She asked her voice shaking some as she did. What was he going to say? Had she been too forcefully?

~Theon~
Theon took a deep shaky breath, "It wasn't your fault, what happened... I... I've always had some... Issues and, I'm glad you were willing to help... it's just... hard to let myself trust people these days."

Ase~
"It's fine...the truth is that it made me feel human to help." She smiled at him though she knew he couldn't see her. "If you don't trust me it's fine but I assure you that there is nothing I will hold back from you, or anyone." She said in a reassuring tone.

~Theon~
Theon shook his head, "No, I do trust you it's just... when you left it reminded me of... someone... and I guess I just sort of... gave up."

Ase~
she looked down in shame of herself. "I'm sorry I-I just thought that it this would end like it had before. I thought of leaving but then I thought of what that would to you thus I came back." She put a hand on his shoulder gently before smiling. "I would never throw a towel in on a commitment."

Altair-
He looked up from his sleep to find Maria standing before him with the pancake in her mouth. She was offering him it? Well then, wasn't that sweet. With a yawn he took it and cut it in half leaving the bigger piece for her. She seemed grateful for it thus returned her affection with a slight rub of her face on his. He had never felt that much love before, even in this simple gesture. Maybe love wasn't such a bad thing after all. Though he wasn't yet ready to settle down with her just yet, he still didn't know her. For all he knew she could be a spy.

~Theon~
Theon reached up and placed his hand over hers, "Thanks..." he couldn't think of what else to say, he had never been good with words and finding himself smitten with her sure wasn't helping.

Ase~
"So what do you want to do? I can help you explore some of the caves if you want." She offered. Not sure what else to do really.
