going home

She glared at him slightly, "I am not blushing. You must be hallucinating." she kept her glare firm. It was really annoying her how much he was effecting her. She didn't like that she was letting herself be bothered by it.

"Really now? That's a new one." He said amused before letting her go and flicking his wrist, a metal plate started to move to scoop up the sliced foods, "We can assemble them by hand." He said as he walked (easily) to a clean table, "Or is it too warm in here still?"

Fleur rolled her eyes, it was something she seemed to do a lot around this particular person. A scoff left her lips. "Stop antagonizing Star Man." she said trying to keep her cool, but it seemed that around him it was a lot more difficult.

Copper shurgged and started to make the sandwiches. "You seem a bit upset about something though...." Copper said in a cool and even tone, not looking at her, "I can tell....mind telling me what is troubling you?"

the girl paused, not really expecting the tone of his words. She quickly recovered though. "I've already told you the only thing that was upsetting me." she stared over at him, debating on how to word her next question. "Why do you keep asking me what is troubling me when you already know the answer?"

"The answer is false. I can tell, I can sense it." Copper said in the same tone, his face was expressionless, "If you go back, it won't be the same as it was here. Something in your world is here, in my world and you are going to miss it." He looked at her, the sandwiches done, "Is it the stars? Is it the bluish night skies? Is it the sun? I know that you are going to miss something but I can't tell what...."

The only thing that kept her from telling him exactly what she missed was her pride. "Yes....The stars. That is what i will miss the most...." she said softly. In a way she was telling the truth. She thought of him as a star, bright and mysterious. And her intrigued her, just like the stars did.

Copper stared at her for a silent moment, his face not hardening nor softening, just staring. "Hey! What are you two doing down there?" Brandon called from the upper deck. "Making dinner." Copper called back and put the food on a plate before heading to the door but stopped and turned back to Fleur, grinning like a child again, "Coming?"
