The skunk was slow. The last few days had taken much out of him and his nerve was a bit fried from Hersheys incident from the day before.

Geoffrey started the shower and sat in the bath tub letting the water hit him from up above like it was a raincloud. After a while he returned to the kitchen, almost dried and began to fix his tea and eat his food.

He disliked television. Didn't pay it no mind but sat in silence and studied his own little space.

Hershey grew tired of the noise and turned of the tv. She tucked her knees up under her chin as she watched her husband with interest. They were both pretty independent. She dug around her pack and pulled out a book. "The Pillars of the Earth" it was an old novel, but she found it fascinating. Flipping to a bookmarked page she began to read, moving her back to the window where the morning light filtered through. She too, could feel winter in the air, but the sunlight made even the coldest days tolerable. So she read, glancing up occasionally to watch him with a small smile.

He sat there in silence eating. He still wasn't fully functional yet.

When on duty he was always on. The drop hat could cause him to be in full gear in a minute.

Off duty- he was quite mundane. He caught her occasional stare and looked that she was reading a book.

"Overlander book?"

It was a Mobian book, written before the Great War, during the time of King Fredrick. She turned a page and shook her head no to his question.

"It was written by Nicodemus Ruff of the Western March" She replied quietly. "It's a collection of letters and observations, now considered to be the "History of Mobians""

She tucked her knees up under her chin, then lowered the book marking her place.

"What's the matter Geoffrey?" She asked calmly.

She wasn't annoyed with him, yet she felt aloof.

"I was thinking, perhaps of going on a short trip." She said presently. "I was thinking about taking a jaunt to the coast."

"I just wanted to be sure that wasn't a overlander book. They're usually meaningless, atleast in my eyes. What's got you interested in history?"

He sipped his tea, "the coast? You aure that's safe love? You know Robotnik is still out there. What if he got a hold on you? I know you're good but I though we might wanna try to do the whole family trying bit again soon. It'da be a bit hard with you relaxin' on a beach and me here."

He tried to disguise his emotions a bit, "I meana, if you wanna get away thats fine. I know you are a bit of a free spirit. I'm an old war boot when it somes to spontaneity, right? ha ha." He was nervously laughing.

Hershey looked at him, her amber eyes shimmering softly in the dim light of the setting sun. I was going to say, I would only be gone for a few days. I was going to meet up with other priestess' of Avandra to celebrate the Spring Rising. Surely, you are capable of holding down the fort for a short time? She arced a brow at his attempt to hide his concern.

"You would not keep me from at least celebrating with my sisters during this holy time?" she pressed.

She knew she had him there.

Even though he voiced his desire to try for a family, for some reason, she found herself withdrawing from the idea. She found him to be complicated and difficult to figure out, one minute he was raving about the dangers of Robotnik and Overlanders, the next he wanted to bring new life into this fallen world. He was quite a paradox.

"No. I can't keep you from doing your catty things can I?"

He let a moment slip by while he searched for words, "I can hold down the "fort" for a while. How long do you expect to be gone? You know I'll be climbing the walls if you don't give me some time frame for all'a this."

Hershey's ears flicked forward at his reaction. She shouldn't be surprised by it, however she thought he trusted her. She did not like the tone of his reply.

"I told you, I will be gone for a few days. Precisely, about 3 days or 4 if the weather is bad." She replied.

"I will have my communicator on me at all times, so if you need to contact me you can."

She got up off the sofa and walked over to him giving him a small nuzzle on the cheek.

"I'm so glad you are ok with this." She said with a small smile.

Then, she kissed him lightly on the end of his nose.

He giggled slightly when she kissed him on the nose.

"Well I didn't say I was exactly okay with it, but I know you. You're gonna go no matter what I say so you might as well go with me blessin'. What exactly are you gonna be doin' out there? Whats so holy about goin' out to the beach with a buncha females?"

He sounded a bit discouraged, "I mean we rarely get alone time enough to ourselves, Hersh. It's kinda like we're just room mates rather than mates."

Hershey looked at him.

"Well, I can not control your job or your life, I mean this is what comes with the military. You should be thankful, at least you can go to bed with your wife. How many of your men have such a luxury?" She said quietly.

"Please Geoffrey, I think we both need this time. You did raise a valid point, we are living more like room mates than mates. Perhaps, this would give us some thinking time. I get the feeling that I am more of a distraction to you than an actual help. So, in that respect, it might be good for me to take a short holiday. "

There, she said it. She was not pushing him away per se, but she was stating a fact. He was right about them not having much time to themselves, but even when he wanted it she was busy. When she wanted it, he was distracted by some mission or something else that needed his input. Anyways, he was due to set off on a mission with Shade. She really needed to get away, and the religious right act provided such an escape. She would call it a pilgrimage and take a few days to really think about things. There were some serious choices that needed to be made. Life changing choices for both of them, and she had to prepare herself to face the outcomes of those decisions.

She wondered how he could just change his feelings at the drop of a hat. He jumped from one extreme to the next. It was that change which bothered her. When he was on the battlefield, his demeanor was completely different. He remained calm, cool, and focused. At home, he was a bipolar basket case.

She needed to collect her thoughts and to weigh out her options. This holiday would provide such a venue to do so.

Geoffrey nodded, "I am thankful. I'm thankful you an' I are together. I have nightmares where you're taken from me, Hersh. I don't like talkin' about them. Thats why I wake up so often at night. I just don't want to lose you."

He smiled, "How about, when you get back and I'm done doin' this sortie with Shade, you an' me take off for about 3 days go find us a quite corner of the woods where we both know no one from GUN or Robotnik's team don't venture. Just you an' me?"

She looked at him and smiled.

"That sounds wonderful Geoffrey." She murmured.

It did sound like a good thing. A well overdue honeymoon.

He smiled.

"I'm tryin' to grow up, I swear Hersh. Battle comes much easier for me. Out there is all black and white, yes and no. I been readin' books and such. Listenin' to things. I'm tryin to learn how to be a better man. Its easy to charm someone I guess I learned that from father before he died. But I am still very new at most of this married stuff. Give me time to figure some stuff out too. I want to grow as old as possible with you."

He teased her hair, "But you know me. I am hard wired with some "querks". I just want you to be safe. I don't wanna sound bipolar but I know it may sound insane wanting to bring life into this horrible world. But someone has to be the first to take the first step into committing to the future. But I know that you an' I still have a ways to go before we start getting the pitter patter of feet around here."

He flopped into a chair. "Have fun, love."
