Dr. Zeph Madigan looked up from his chart to meet the glaring sun outside. There was an itching under his skin to get outside, one that was driving him near mad. At least he wasn't the only one and his shift was almost over. He pushed through the infection urge to let his flesh eat up the sun and finished the lasat charts of his round, smiling blindingly at the nurse as he handed them over and all but ran out the doors, taking only enough time to see that his sister had beat him out in to Aten's embrace.

He was standing on the edge of the dock, looking down at the shimmering water and across to the opposite shore. The sun was warm today, making his skin soft with the heat. It had been a long time since he had been outside like this. His whole being was singing to the joy of it. He leaned against the railing, smiling, his heart easy and light.

She stood back, watching the man near the waters edge, her eyes flickering over his back and butt. He was sexy...really sexy...the smile spread over her lips as muscle flexed and he leaned forward. A shiver went through her spine. That was when her stomach growled and she remembered how much trouble this sort of activity had gotten her into. She touched her stomach, no baby bump yet...no show...
"For the love of all that is holy..." she rolled her eyes at herself and turned away, seeing a small vendor just a few hundred yards up the walk. She went toward it, deciding on a cool drink to ease her desires.

He felt like lhe could finally breath as he walked out into the fresh air and pulled his shirt out of his pants, getting comfertble as a smiles spread on his lips and his face turned up into the golden light. "Finally," he whispered in a sigh. It felt like one of those perfect days. After a moment more he started walking, just walking with out a care as to where he was going.

He pushed back, off the railing, rubbing the back of his neck, deciding on a cool drink to ease the slight sweat he had developed. Then...he would go find his fishing rod and cast out for a couple hours. It was his day off...he could do what he want. He knew there was a vendor up the walk a little way, the guy was pretty nice and he brewed the best iced tea. Besides...he hadn't seen him in a few days and he needed to catch up.
As Riley neared the cart he nearly stopped short, seeing a beautiful women walking ahead of him. She was talk and slim, ink black hair shining in the sunlight. He pulled off to the side, leaning on the railing again to get a good look at her without being too obvious.

Zeph stopped short, noticing his old boss eyeing a beautiful woman as they both walked up to a vendor. He allowed himself a slow smile as he stayed back and watched. Dr. D deserved to find someone but the only women Zeph had ever actually watched him intract with we his own sister Amara, small children or Riley's sisters at the tavern. It was becasue of this that he stayed back, not wanting to ruin this fragile thing, a moment that would be made or broken by Riley's own soul and choices. It didn't matter if the woman noticed him or made a move, Zeph knew that all too well, because Riley could just as easily politely let her go as he could accept her in.

He swallowed, thinking of his lover for a moment. The man back at home was strong and everything to him. He shook his head and swallowed, taking his attention from how beautiful the woman was and turned it into an interest in who exactly she was. He came off the railing and moved toward her, calling out to the owner of the little vendor and moved up to her, "Hello there. You look new to this area..."

She nearly jumped, her cup jumping out of her grip and onto the counter, spilling everywhere. He was so close suddenly and she hadn't actually heard him move. She could smell him, a musky scent that sent chills up her spine and into her heart.
"Oh! Hi." she ignored the spilled drink and pivoted toward him with a jerk, "Hello there. Yeah...I am new...er...here. The name is Sophia." she stuck out her hand, but quickly withdrew it, realizing she was rambling suddenly, quickly and so obviously attracted to him. She brought her knuckle to her mouth a moment, taking a breath, she dropped her hand, "So...I am sorry about that." she cracked a smile and stepped back, realizing the man who she just spilled tea on was scrambling to clean up. She grabbed a handful of napkins and started wiping.

He chuckled and moved to help her, not exactly sure what all just happened, "My name is Riley. Sorry about that Mr. Phillips, I can pay for anything that is damaged." the owner shook his head, lighthearted and poured her another cupful and making Riley one. Riley grinned and moved back, finishing the cleaning, "Thank you sir!" he picked up the two cups and handed one to Sophia, "Here you go."

Zeph laughed as he walked up to them. "Even away from the tavern you make pretty ladies forget them selves. No wondre your sisters don't let you out offten. You're nearly a saftely hazard to woman kind and the makes you a challange to the rest of us fine men." His voice was quiet, but still held his laugh, he really didn't want to make her jump again.

Riley cracked a grin and tossed away napkins soaked in liquid, "Aye...tis my job is it not?" he removed some money from his pocket and placed it on the counter for the owner and turned again to the woman from before.

Zeph laughed. "'Tis it seems." His movement was smooth as he turned to face the young woman now. "I couldn't help but over hear that you are new in town. Come, allow us the honor of showing you around."Slowly he started to guide them both away. "I promise to do my utter best to keep Mr. Donovan here from dazzling you overly much." As a second thought he add with a quick smile.

She felt her heart stop when she saw the man who had stepped up near them and her world came into sharp focus, 'Tha-thank you...s...sir..." she glanced to Riley and back to the new arrival. Her hands shook ever so slightly and her body tensed at his voice. He was definately a fine man as he had put it. She wondered though if he was slightly full of himself...the last man she got this feeling over left her with child and on her own. She needed to be careful...be he was just so...

Zeph gave her what he could only hope was a reasuring sime as he took her and and laced it through the crook of his arm. "I am Dr. Gaelen Zephrum Madigan but everyone one calls me Zeph. I work over at Pen. Hospital, if you ever need anything just ask someone there for Zeph or Amara, she's my sister. We'll do anything we can for you." Quickly he glanced back to make sure that Riley was still coming along as he guided her across the street and toward town, talking the whole time.
