Reidun had gravitated back outside and let the music and the dancing get into her soul. Her new friends seemed to like smoking and drinking. Reidun had never smoked what they were and she felt a little light headed but good. 

Conall sat taking in the music that was playing around him.  It was times like these that he almost felt like he was back home.  The drinking and partying made him feel good and helped him forget.  Finishing off his drink Conall decided to get up and join the people dancing letting the music guide him away from his troubles.
 
Reidun was having a fantastic time and she was downing her drinks faster than she realized and she hadn't eaten anything in hours. Oddly she felt better than fine and had no worries about her tomorrow morning. She smiled when another man joined in on the dancing. He was tall and she noticed the red hair like her and grinned. She couldn't seem to take her eyes off of him. She felt like she was drunk and invisible at the same time. 

Conall wore a large smile on his face as he danced around the fire soaking in the music.  Even with him having downed a few drinks Conall realized that someone was watching him. He had turned to look when he saw a beautiful woman looking at him.  What surprised him the most was her fiery red hair.  It could have been the alchool hitting hard but Conall could swear it felt as if the world had slowed for a moment.

Reidun felt herself blush and she allowed the partner she had been dancing with to twirl her and then she let go of his arm and she walked over to the tall red headed man. She was normally a little more shy than this but with the alcohol she wasn't feeling the slightest bit shy. Not until she was standing right in front of him anyways. She knew her cheeks were turning pinker if that were even possible. As she stared up at the tall man she started to lose her balance just a little so she grabbed onto his waist.[color=f49ac2] "You are so tall you made me a little dizzy. Is it alright if I hold on for a moment?"[/color] She mumbled with a grin.

Conall looked at the woman who was clearly drunk that was now holding onto him.  Smiling a bit Conall grabbed her and helped her to her feet trying to keep her steady.  "[color=007236]I dont mind lass."[/color]  Conall said in a kind tone [color=007236]"What would happen to be your name?"[/color]  Conall looked at her almost laughing at how she could hardly stand even with his help.

[color=f49ac2]"I'm Reidun Gunderson."[/color] She kind of felt oddly lightheaded. [color=f49ac2]"The ale I'm used to but I am not sure what they are smoking. Whatever it is, it's giving me a lovely feeling but I can't seem to keep my strength in my legs to carry me. I feel like I'm floating."[/color] She giggled slightly unsure of her own feet.  Looking up at him she asked him, [color=f49ac2]"What is your name?"[/color]

Looking down at her Conall replied in a kind tone [color=007236]"Thats a nice name.  I would be Conall Cassidy."[/color]  Looking around at all the smoke and ale he said [color=007236]"Their Ale isnt as strong as the kind I had back home but ive never been around this smoke."[/color] Looking back down Conall's pale blue eyes met with her brownish green eyes that seemed to soothe him.  With out even thinking Conall felt himself pulling her slightly closer to him trying to tell himself it was only to help her stand.  

Reidun smiled up at him a little wobbly on her feet and felt him pulling her closer to his body and as hers melted into his she kept her eyes locked ont his. After a moment she snapped back to reality and noticed all of the people staring at them with knowing smiles. Slightly embarrassed she blushed and took his hand in hers and pulled him into the darkness back towards her lodgings. [color=f49ac2]"Conall, come with me."[/color]

Upon feeling himself being pulled towards the housing areas realized that he had been staring at her for some time.  Conall after seeing the others looking at him felt somewhat embarassed but had shrugged it off, he wasnt new to people looking at him as odd given his stand out appearance.  Snapping out of his thoughts Conall could feel himself blush slightly when he heard Reidun talk and when he saw where they were headed.  Conall usually wasnt like this, he wasnt really the kind of man to be distracted as much as he was tonight.  But something was telling him to follow this woman he had only just met.  

Walking slowly she led Conall back towards hers and Aksel's house. Her head began to clear the further from the smoke they got. She was still quite certain that she was intrigued by this man. She opened the door and pulled him inside and closed it behind them. She knew someone would remind Aksel if he couldn't remember where she had said it was.

Reidun turned around and stared up at the tall man. She could see that he was more soft hearted than many of the men who went on these journeys. [color=f49ac2]"Conall, I'd like you to stay with me tonight."[/color] Reidun spoke softly but reached up and pulled his face down to hers and kissed him. As Reidun explored his mouth she felt like she burst into flames and she pulled him into her bedroom and shut the door.
