Mason Stormhammer: *burries his face down in her hair, restin his head on her shoulder*
Mason Stormhammer: this just one more thing, ta put behind us.
Mason Stormhammer: *says slowly and quietly*
Mason Stormhammer: *slowly loosens his grip on her and look over to the bag sittin on the table*
Mason Stormhammer: *lets her go slowly with a slight smirk upon his face*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *lofts a brow as she looks up to him*
Mason Stormhammer: *walks over to it*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *turns to watch what he's doing*
Mason Stormhammer: *looks up to her making sure she is watchin*
Mason Stormhammer: *grabs the dress from the bag and holds it up lookin at it a moment*
Mason Stormhammer: *stands there a moment lookin at it, then focuses his gaze to her*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *blinks a bit, thinking she has an idea of whats coming*
Mason Stormhammer: *reaches his hand up to the spot where the ring he crafted is sewninto it*
Mason Stormhammer: *watches her, then looks at it one last time.*
Mason Stormhammer: *then he tears the ring from the dress and walks out of the house with it in his hand*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *watches from the porch*
Mason Stormhammer: *throws it down on the ground, still holdin the ring in his hand*
Mason Stormhammer: *looks back over his shoulder making sure she see's what he is doing*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *is watching intently, at the glance though will move closer to stand beside him*
Mason Stormhammer: *takes his lantern out and dumps the fuel of it out onto the dress*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *slides her left arm around behind him to clasp hand at the left side of his hip*
Mason Stormhammer: *takes a few steps back away from it, then looks over at her*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *moves as he does, watching*
Mason Stormhammer: *digs in his pocket, and comes out with a match*
Mason Stormhammer: *looks over to her, then the match.*
Mason Stormhammer: *hands it to her with a slight smile forming on his lips*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *looks up at him a moment*
Mason Stormhammer: go on lass
Kenzie O'Drennan: *lofts a brow, not quite sure at first though takes it and after assuring herself*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *that it was what he wanted, she'd light it, letting a grin slowly form before looking*
Mason Stormhammer: *watches her making sure she will do it, though not wanting to force her*
Mason Stormhammer: *watches as she sets it a blaze*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *back down to it and tossing it to the fuel*
campfire: Now that's a fire!
Mason Stormhammer: heh
Mason Stormhammer: *stands there with her watching it go up*
Mason Stormhammer: *reaches his hand around behind her back and holds her close*
Mason Stormhammer: *looks down at his other hand still holdin the ring*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *squeezes her left arm a bit around behind him, right coming up around his front to*
Mason Stormhammer: *lifts it up slowly, lettin it open so she can see*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *clasp at his other side*
Mason Stormhammer: *looks over at her then nods knowing what to do*
Mason Stormhammer: *walks with her hand in hand back into the house, leaving the dress to burn*
Mason Stormhammer: *carries it upstairs*
Mason Stormhammer: *sets it down on the table she crafted for him*
Mason Stormhammer: *making sure to set it on a spot with some metal under it*
Mason Stormhammer: *looks over again watching her as he does this*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *watches curiously*
Mason Stormhammer: *reaches over and grabs a large hammer from his desk*
Mason Stormhammer: *holds it there in his hand a moment, all the while looking over at Kenzie*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *looks from it to him and back again, watching and waiting*
Mason Stormhammer: *raises his arms high above his head, then with all his might, brings it down upon the*
Mason Stormhammer: *ring, doing his best to shatter it*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *winces a bit hoping he doesn't go through the table itself*
Mason Stormhammer: *drops the hammer to the floor after seein the ring break into several pieces*
Mason Stormhammer: *and part of the table with it*
Mason Stormhammer: *reaches down grabbing the pieces up in his hand and walks over to the fireplace*
Mason Stormhammer: *looks back briefly at her then throws whats left of it in the fireplace to melt away*
Mason Stormhammer: *stands there a moment without looking back*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *reaches her hand out to him to come to her*
Mason Stormhammer: *then after a long moment he slowly speaks in a very low tone*
Mason Stormhammer: *turns as he says it*
Mason Stormhammer: now, it is done
Mason Stormhammer: *takes her hand*
Mason Stormhammer: what i have made, i destroyed
Mason Stormhammer: so there is nothing there between us
Mason Stormhammer: *says the words in almost a whisper to her*
Mason Stormhammer: *slowly raises his gaze from the flames to her*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *nods and though pleased, doesn't smile.. not yet.. just fixes her gaze upon his*
Mason Stormhammer: *just stands there taking in all her features as they look at eachother*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *whistpers in soft, gentle tone..*
Kenzie O'Drennan: Closure.. for what comes next..
Mason Stormhammer: closure for us, so we may start a new
Mason Stormhammer: *answers her in a soft tone*
Mason Stormhammer: not just for me
Mason Stormhammer: for both of us.
Mason Stormhammer: *smiles at her slightly*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *nods and gaze drifts from his eyes to his lips and back up again*
Mason Stormhammer: *slowly leans into her and kisses her softly*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *inclines her head as he nears, eagerly meeting with the kiss, eyes closing and arms*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *wrapping about his waist to draw in closer*
Mason Stormhammer: *pulls her into him and wraps his arms up under her arms and around her,*
Mason Stormhammer: *back, lifting her up to him ever so slightly*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *slides her arms up as his move to reach over his shoulders instead, fingers running*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *into his hair and gripping there lightly*
Mason Stormhammer: *lets the kiss wash over them both for a long time, not wanting it to end*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *lingers for a long while in the kiss as it was though really couldn't ask for*
Mason Stormhammer: *reaches his hand up from her back to let his fingers run into her hair,*
Mason Stormhammer: *wrappin it in his hand ever so slightly and giving a gentle tug*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *a better moment to deepen it and intensify the 'chemistry' as it were*
Mason Stormhammer: *slowly pulls away from her and gazes into her eyes, seeyin himself there,*
Mason Stormhammer: *in her beautiful eyes that so much look like his own*
Mason Stormhammer: thas one thing i really love about ya lass
Kenzie O'Drennan: *opens her eyes to look to meet his*
Mason Stormhammer: *whispers softly*
Mason Stormhammer: *opens his eyes wider, taking her in*
Mason Stormhammer: our eyes are the same
Kenzie O'Drennan: *smiles faintly and nods at that*
Mason Stormhammer: i never seen another that see's the same as i see, that looks the same as i look
Mason Stormhammer: *holds her there with him lost in the moment, totally forgettin now what only remains*
Mason Stormhammer: *burning in the front of the house and in the fireplace*
Kenzie O'Drennan: Nor I..
Mason Stormhammer: *stands there lookin down into her eyes and smiles to himself, knowin he has never*
Mason Stormhammer: *been this happy*
It is Dawn
Mason Stormhammer: *notices the sun slowly begin to rise and leads her out to the porch*
Mason Stormhammer: *stands there with her, holding her close*
Mason Stormhammer: this is like a new dawn not only for all, but for us as well
Kenzie O'Drennan: *leans in against him, resting her head at his shoulder, turned slightly towars him*
Mason Stormhammer: *says it quietly only for her to hear*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *squeezes her arms around him and sighs deeply but contently noting now that what*
Mason Stormhammer: *just stands there holding her close to him, and watches as the dawn rises on them both*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *Cayt had done, wasn't really so bad of an idea*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *watches the sun come into view before eyes closed to feel its warmth*
Mason Stormhammer: *squints slightly at the light as it comes up over the water and valley to the east*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *lifted her head from him once the sun had come fully into view and looked up at him*
Mason Stormhammer: *allows them both to see it, then slowly turns to her*
Kenzie O'Drennan: it 'as been a long day...
Mason Stormhammer: *nods*
Mason Stormhammer: *turns to face her*
Mason Stormhammer: we best get some rest

Kenzie O'Drennan: *does too*
Mason Stormhammer: *slowly looks over and smiles at her*
Mason Stormhammer: *walks over and gets into bed, letting her have the best spot*
Mason Stormhammer: *leans back and rest against the wall, letting her settle into him*
Mason Stormhammer: *leans over and kisses her goodnight*
Kenzie O'Drennan: *curls herself to him, returning the kiss before finally settling in to sleep*
Mason Stormhammer: *passes out with her there and sleeps like a babe*
