"Oh, okay. Thanks" Oberon was starting to feel more and more awkward "so, you don't need me to help you with any thing, then?" he asked.
---
"Bring light waterproof clothes that won't weigh you down if you fall in water" Oberon advised, "that's it really"

"No, I just want to spend some time around here. Is it a problem?" Laura asked as she sighed. "What are you doing here anyway? I'm just a little bored. Would like to get to know an actual person..."
~~~~
"Uh... right." Laura sighed. "Well, guess we are to shop. Oh well, a new outfit would probably do me some good. Augment my appearance some." She chuckled before walking out with her small pack.

"It might be" Oberon said "you're not really supposed to be in here, I was doing some dance practice but my partner left so I'm just here on my own"
- - - - - - - - - -
"Okay, well shall we go then?" Oberon asked picked up his bag "I'll tell you where we're headed on the way"

"Well, perhaps I can watch? I have never seen a dancer in action before." Laura appeared to have the grace of a dancer, but she definitely didn't have any knowledge of it. Nevertheless, she stepped even closer, ignoring the fact that she wasn't allowed to be in there.
~~~~
"Okay! I'm already ahead though, Oberon!" Laura cried as she trotted ahead, her eyes rather focused on the road ahead of them, though she didn't really have an idea on where she was going.

[For reference it takes about half a day for boat to cross the channel - only a few hours for a ferry or ship]
"Oh. Well, I actually need to do some reading right now" he said "but . . . I suppose, seeing as we're the only ones here" or so he thought "maybe I could teach you a dance? Just a few steps"
- - - - - - - - -
Oberon caught up with her quickly "alright" he said "we need to head for the water front, there's a boat there we can use to get to Kogai, it's not mine but I know how to drive it. We'll moor up near the fishing port and then make our way further into Kogai. If we went flat out it would take us all day and all night and maybe if we're not so lucky half of the rest of the day"

"Really? You are truly offering that?" Laura pointed at herself for a mere moment before chuckling. "Yes, I would take your offer. Just a few steps. I would most likely break my poor ankle if I did any more than that."
~~~~
"Don't you mean lucky?" She pointed out as they made their way to the waterfront, her eyes scanning the area. "Wow, this is a pretty nice place when you take a good look at it. Hard to believe how it had flourished during the war. Heh, I am surprised you didn't mind me being with Byakko."

Oberon took one of Laura's hand "okay, we need to go into ballroom hold first, so you'll need to put this hand on my shoulder - here" he said making a small gesture, Oberon took her other hand and clasped it gently and lightly rested his other hand on the side of Laura's waist "now just come a few steps closer, then it'll be perfect" he said with a smile.

[Boat house as in where boats are kept in water, not a boat that you live on]
"I do mind, but I don't know what else I'm supposed to do . . . I still don't know why I was arrested, or why you're helping me" the two of them walked past the busy water front and continued on for a while until Oberon took a sharp turn onto a small half concealed path that wound steeply downwards for sometime until they came to an old stone boat house, after unlocking the weathered door they were met with about three small boats, Oberon headed for one at the far end. It was an old wooden fishing boat with a steeply rising bow and small wheel house, the rest of the top deck was empty. "I'd been planning to visit Kogai for a while, I would have set off next week" he sighed.

"Right." Laura clenched Oberon's hand and followed his instructions, just a few inches from his own body. And by few, I mean a couple. She then tilted her head, a little confused. It appeared that she never danced before, but she definitely wish to learn. "How would I go about it?"
~~~~~
"So how long are you planning to be there? Simply a couple days? A week? A month?" Laura asked as she stepped onto the wooden boat carefully, then stretched out a hand for Oberon to grab. "It is surprising that I have never been there. I thought I have explored every nook and cranny... but I suppose I can tell you my story along the way to Kogai. If you do not mind, that is."

"Uh, hang on a sec" Oberon made a few changes to their position so Laura's hand was now resting on his upper arm and Laura was standing a little off to the side of Oberon, so her leg went between his and their bodies where definitely touching. And that is the correct hold for a foxtrot.
"Going to try and teach you the foxtrot. Which is quite a smooth dance it's in 4/4 time, so you count 1, 2, 3, 4 and when I move forwards, you move backwards, then we take a step to the side that's a little quicker". He carefully taught Laura the steps, after going through them a few times he let her go but kept hold of her hand "you should go now, I have to leave anyway" he said softly "it was nice to dance with you, Laura" he smiled.
- - - - - - -
Oberon jumped on to the deck and scooped Laura up so that he was holding her upright, just below her hips "of course I don't mind" he said, looking up at her. Obero loosened his grip so that Laura slid down towards the ground and caused her skirt and shirt to ride up a little, he was still holding her off the ground but he now had one hand on her back whilst the other remained just below her hips.
Cheeky boy.

Laura chuckled at the performance, unsure of what to think. "Wow, playing a little romantic, aren't you?" She asked as she hugged Oberon tightly, her hands around his neck. "I am unsure if you can woo a woman such as I. Though I truly adore the affection." She then placed a hand to his cheek, stroking it gently with a soft thumb. "Oh, Oberon... I feel as if I have known you somewhere... but alas, I can't quite place my finger on it." She then continued, "I was a wee lass, lost and scared. You know, I was in an unknown area..."
~~~~~
Laura frowned, having been able to grasp the dance very quickly. "It is a pity to see you go." She said as she grasped him by the hand again. "Will I see you again?" She asked, her dark eyes piercing into Oberon's own, as if displaying some type of affection that she has displayed nowhere else. "I know it seems odd, but I just suddenly feel... attached. I do not mean to be, but... ah, never mind. I'm just hoping we'll see each other. You just... are too attractive to not see again." She chuckled before letting his hand go. "Goodbye."

Oberon leant forward to kiss her "this feels sort of strange, you know, I don't think I've ever had sex without being in a relationship before hand" he said thoughtfully, carrying Laura into to the wheel house where he put her down and listened to her story "I was a wee lass . . . " she began.
- - - - - - - - - - -
"I can say the same for you, Laura" Oberon said with a wink, he picked up his papers and the two of them walked into the short corridor outside the studio that lead to a descending flight of stairs.
Sudden there was a blood-curdling scream (sorry for the lameness of that sentence, wrote this in a hurry)

Oberon's hand was grasped by Laura's own. The fingers were soft and thin, trailing over the man's hand. "Well, I remember being scared... it was dark and owls and wolves were out, hooting and howling. I was frightened to death, actually. I believe I was only eight years old. I was lying on the ground, unsure of how I ended up there. So I crawled onto my feet and walked..." She clenched onto the hand tighter as she continued, "I continued to... for hours... probably an entire day before I gave up and collapsed..."
~~~~~~
(It's okie. You're forgiven.)
"Huh!?" Laura gasped as she heard the scream. "What was that?" She looked to Oberon for a second, then hurried down to find out the source of the scream, her heart thumping, though half the time it was lodged into her throat.

Oberon nodded and held Laura's other hand "what happened after that?"
- - - - - - - -
Oberon charged down the stairs, reaching the bottom he searched frantically for the light switch, having found it he looked around him "hello?" he asked "who's in here?" he looked around and sudden felt very alone "Laura?" he ascended the stairs and checked the corridor. No one.
He climbed back down the stairs, he couldn't hear any other sound apart from himself, Oberon continued on into the room that was used for storing and fitting costumes, frowning he called Laura's name again. In front of him there was a stack of tutus and a rack of glittering bodices, he pushed the rack aside and saw . . .

A body drenched in blood, sprawled onto the floor. Parts of the body were strewn about, separated from the person. It was a gruesome sight, to say the least. One hand had stretched out, as if it was seeking for help as it was being brutally killed. Was it murder? Was it an accident?
No way in hell did it appear to be an accident. Laura stood over the body for a moment, a smile curled up at the corner of her lips. She did not speak a word. She did not even appear to breathe. She simply... existed.
~~~~~
"I..." Laura began as she clenched onto Oberon's hand for a moment. A flash of an image swept through her mind, displaying a fire... screams... and then happy cheers. What was it all? She could not recall anything about it.
Her thoughts appeared to have trailed off, leaving her in a blank state of mind.

Oberon's eyes widened, his heart thumped in his chest. He fainted.
- - - - - - - - -
"You don't have to tell me everything now, Laura" Oberon said softly, he looked out at the , "we have to get going soon. Just to warn you, once we've set off I won't be able to give you my undivided attention, I'll have to drive the boat, okay?" he tickled Laura under her chin in an effort to make her smile "are you alright? Do you need anything?" he asked

"Hmph. Can't stand the sight of a little blood, hm?" Laura shook her head and placed a hand to her waist. In her hand rested a bloodied knife, one that could have been used by Laura herself. "Had to finish the job." She then stepped over Oberon, but not before planting the knife in his hand...
~~~~~
Laura chuckled in response at the tickling, though she removed her head from his hand. "I am fine. Just... a little spacy. I am so sorry for acting like this... It's just... something is familiar, and I can't place my finger on it. Like you are indeed familiar. I just don't know where I could have seen you. But it is okay if you don't pay any attention to me. I can use this time to do something thinking. It may lead me somewhere, after all."

Oberon opened his eyes, he was lying in the studio in front of him were the papers he was supposed to have been reading 'I must've fallen asleep' he thought to himself. Parts of him felt very sore but he put this down to sleeping a funny position, his clothes felt oddly clean - like they'd just come out of the washing machine- but he thought nothing of it. Checking the time Oberon was shocked, he'd slept here all night? And he was going to be late for work! Oberon rushed out of the building, locking it behind him . . .
- - - - - - - -
Oberon nodded "it might come to you" he started the engine and steered the boat out in to sea. The sun blazed in the sky, and Oberon soon felt himself get uncomfortably hot, there was only one thing he could do in this situation - take his shirt off, of course. Or maybe he trying to show off, just a little bit.

Laura flushed a the site after a few minutes of staring at Oberon, though beforehand she was contemplating over the waters. "Hm... I hope it does... but..." She stood onto her feet, smiling as she trotted over to Oberon, her hands suddenly pressed against his stomach, with her body right behind him. "Why hello, Oberon." She giggled.
~~~~~
Laura had been sitting in the hallway, her eyes to the floor. She appeared to be spaced, her mind not in the building, but possibly floating among the sea of skies. She hadn't even noticed Oberon leaving. Nevertheless, she appeared to be contemplating something...

"Hi, Laura" Oberon said "what're you up to?" he looked out on the twinkling sea, 'she's so soft and warm' he thought to himself, he bit his lip as he thought about being with her the other night, Laura's hands suddenly felt a lot warmer than they had before, and he was aware of how gently she was caressing his stomach, and . . .
'oh no' he groaned to himself 'not now, now is not the time to get . . . excited'
- - - - - - - - - - -
[I'm not sure what to do after this seeing as everything that happens next, as far as Oberon is concerned, was in the Phoenix Rising main]

Laura placed her head onto Oberon's back, relishing the touch. "Just feel rather... oh what is that term... I suppose affectionate? As odd as it sounds. Do not get me wrong. I just felt the compulsion to touch your body. You can say that your body completely turns me on." She whispered the last sentence right into his ear. She suddenly removed herself away from his body, then stood back. "But this it not the time or the place."
