Hey Philosoraptor, You Know My Chester (Tak.)

Tak had gotten up early to watch the sunrise, as she usually did, and decided to take the opportunity to go out for a run. It was a beautiful morning, and the grass felt wonderful under her bare feet. It was cool, but that didn't stop her from wearing nothing but a sports bra and short athletic shorts. Her mass of hair was tied back into a braid, and it bounced along behind her as she jogged around the training field. She had thought she was alone, since it was so early, but after a while she caught sight of someone in her field of vision that she would soon pass. Upon closer inspection she realized it was a blonde guy, and for some reason he seemed awfully familiar.

As she got closer she realized he was bent over, presumably from running longer than he probably should have. As she began to pass him, the familiarity made a connection in her head, and she stopped, pointing at him in accusation. "It's you!"

Of course, he would have no idea what she was talking about. But he was the boy she had seen in Chester's head, the one he had refused to talk about. She was tempted to say something about it immediately, but she and the redhead had sorta made a deal, so she couldn't go into too much detail without breaking that promise. "I mean, uh, I heard about you from a uh... Friend of mine." Hell, Chester was nowhere near being her friend, but she wasn't going to tell him that. She caught a few traits from Cameron as she studied him - daring, humorous, makes bad decisions. Hmm. "Golden retriever. Definitely." Again, not making sense.

She offered a hand. "I'm Tak. Um, Chester is the guy I met. I forgot what he said your name was though." Um, more like he hadn't told her. She glanced over his sweat-soaked shirt, allowing a slow smile to spread across her face. "You look beat."

Boy, he really was out of breath. Poor thing. She laughed lightly, unable to stop herself from giving him a pat on the back, even though he was literally wet from sweat. But she didn't mind. "No, no one said you're a dog," she assured him, still giggling. "Sorry, it's... Oh never mind." She hated explaining herself, but she never could stop herself from labeling people.

"Yeah, um, we met at the pond a few days ago actually," she replied. Well, it wasn't a lie. She just didn't give him details of their meeting. She had no explanation to give him for knowing what he looked like though, not without admitting she had seen him in Chester's head. Hopefully he wouldn't ask.

"Oh no, never would have guessed in a million years," Tak assured him, shaking her head vigorously, but still grinning. "... Oh who am I kidding. You look like you're in agony. Good thing I find sweaty strangers attractive though, right, Cam?" Hopefully the question would get his mind off of the fact she still hadn't explained how she knew what he looked like. From the vibe she was getting from him, she thought it might.

".... Maaaybe." Yeah, it definitely fit him. "Long story short, I can sense people's personalities, and I label them depending on what I sense. It's weird, I know, get used to it." She flashed him a grin, getting a familiar feeling that from him that she had gotten from Chester. No wonder they were friends. Still, Cam seemed a bit more sensitive, a bit softer than his redheaded friend. She liked that.

And he didn't ask any further about Chester, which was a relief.

She watched the grin cross his lips and held back another laugh. Easy, easy. "Oh, you poor thing," she sighed dramatically, going in for a cuddle. "I'll be your savior, baby. Just let me know where it hurts most." Sure, he was sweaty and icky, but he was still a pretty attractive guy, and she was more than happy to make a new friend... Especially one that obviously shared her beliefs about romance and messing around.

Tak could be bold when she wanted to be, and especially in this sort of situation, she had wanted to change the subject from the awkward way she had greeted him. And boys were easily distracted by closeness, right? Yeah, it seemed to be working. Although she couldn't help but feel she could have been attracted to him anyway, even if they hadn't met in this way. She didn't mind when his arms wrapped around her, even though she could feel the dampness of his shirt against her bare stomach.

"You lungs, hmmm?" she murmured as she looked up at him, catching his glimpse at her mouth and hiding a smirk. "I think I can help with that." She stood on her toes, brushing her lips against the corner of his mouth before pressing them against his. It was a soft, gentle kiss; she reached her arms over his shoulders and leaned into him, brushing a hand through his damp hair. After a few moments she tilted her head and pulled back, eyes sparkling. "Feel any better yet?" she asked, her face still inches from his.

Tak most certainly had kissed Chester, but she thought nothing of it as she felt Cameron's hands slide down to her hips and he kissed her back. When she pulled back she was quite certain he hadn't had his fill, since really, she hadn't either. Call it a hunger, but there was something about making out that was just addicting.

She closed her eyes and arched her back, running her hands through his hair as they got more into the kiss. Jeeze, he was a great kisser. Must've had a lot of practice. She didn't mind. His hand tickled the back of her neck and she grinned into the kiss, nipping his lower lip playfully. At that point her foot decided to take a bad step and she found herself leaning into him more than she meant to, pushing him into an angle precariously close to falling over. Oops.

Tak couldn't help but let out a little squeak as they toppled over, but fortunately the grass was soft and the tangled mess they ended up in was kind of hot anyway. Her sports bra slipped slightly, and she readjusted it more for comfort's sake than embarrassment.

And he was back near her again, trailing playful kisses up her arm and shoulder, making her shiver at the light touches. She wrapped an arm around his neck again, nuzzling his hair as she focused on learning more about him. She caught a few deeper aspects of his personality - he was a daredevil, which didn't surprise her, but she also sensed a sort of deep longing in him. He fell for people very easily. It made her a little sad. "I am, but I don't think you'll be glad to hear what I have to say," she murmured. He had a player-boy attitude that hid his real feelings, to keep him from getting hurt. She didn't think he would appreciate her telling him that.

Tak winced as a headache bloomed in her head. When she focused too much on really trying to learn about someone, it happened. She bent her head and kissed his temple, before pulling his head up gently and kissing his mouth again. He tasted good - she could get used to this. And she was more than happy to provide for him if he needed something like this. "What is it that you can do?" she asked, as she took a brief pause to catch her breath. "I mean, why are you at Hammel?" She kind of hoped he wasn't a telepath like Chester.

Tak honestly wouldn't mind taking off the restricting band around her chest. But, if someone found them, that would be all sorts of awkward, more for the person finding them than for her, but still. She didn't really want to get in trouble, but if they found somewhere quiet and hidden, well, the possibilities were almost endless.

He obviously thought she was going a different route with what she meant by him not being glad about what she was getting from him, and so she decided to ignore the who falling-in-love-with-people part and go straight to the more fun side of him. "Well, I can see you're a risk taker," she started, tilting her head and brushing her lips against his jawline. "That can't be good for you, Cammy. But, it makes you all that more attractive. Daredevils are sexy." She draped her free arm over his side and pulled her body closer, adding in a whisper,"I can be a risk taker too." Grinning mischievously, she nuzzled her head into his neck as her hand wandered farther down his back. Yeah, this was getting heavy quite fast. But it was just so fun!

She watched as patches of light began to dance over her skin, her eyes widening. It was quite a beautiful effect. "Oooh," she breathed. He could control light? "I'm guessing, you're a light manipulator," she replied, as though it wasn't obvious. "That's gorgeous, Cam. You make my skin look so pretty."

At his question, she simply shook her head. "Damn side effects. I get headaches sometimes. It's not a big deal. But," she added, looking up at him with doe eyes,"Kisses seem to help."
