*Leah couldn't help but laugh as she ran, frequently looking back at Paulin as he gained on her. However, she stopped at her destination, the top of a large hill that had a beautiful view of the nearby ocean. Exhausted, she tumbled down into the grass, still laughing.*

Paulin collapsed beside Leah, trying to catch his breath. Turning to look at her, he grinned. "I think... I can safely... add 'exhausting' to your list of attributes."

"Better than some of the other words I've heard... and completely accurate... But despite that fact, you keep up fairly well..."

Paulin shook his head. "Another thirty seconds and I would have had nothing left... and that was with you wearing a dress as well." He grinned at her. "I would hate to race against you if you were wearing something easier to run in."

"What can I say? I'm used to running... Only normally it's my siblings or an angry servant running after me..." *She gave a short laugh, glancing over at Taimi who was playfully chasing a butterfly.*

Paulin laughed. "That explains it then. Although why would your siblings be trying to catch you?"

"Oh, they're usually bringing me messages from my parents or begging me to come back to the Hold before I get into trouble..."

Paulin raised an eyebrow. "So does that mean I can expect one of them to come after us sometime today?"

*Leah shrugged.* "If they can find us..." *She gave him a grin, sitting up and placing her hands on the ground behind her in order to support herself comfortably.*

Paulin followed her example and looked around him. "Speaking of which, where are we?" He looked at her and grinned. "And for that matter, why?"

"No place in particular... It's just one of my favorite views near the Hold... without climbing a tree that is..." *She grinned at him.* "But I just figured we'd need a place away from the Hold where we won't be found and where we can have some peace and quiet... I hate the constant busy noise that surrounds the Hold."

Paulin shook his head. "You are a contradiction, aren't you? You enjoy excitement, and yet you like having peace and quiet." He grinned. "I am enjoying the view though. Its definately worth the run."

"I'm glad you think so... Otherwise I might just have to drag you away to something even more exhausting..." *Leah smiled before turning her head to gaze out over Tillek...* "So... Now that we're away from annoying Holders and eavesdropping drudges, you really must tell me something about yourself."

"There's not that much to tell. I was a shepherd, until my parents noticed my talent for sketching and sent some of my art to Master Domaize. This is my first real contract I've had since becoming a Journeyman." Paulin shrugged. "Not very interesting or exciting, I know."

"Are you joking? It's so much more exciting than being cooped up here with stiff Lords and gossiping Ladies. At least you get to do something you enjoy and have some freedom to choose the direction of your life..."
