"Uh.. I'd have to say The Matrix trilogy. Perfect mix of everything a good movie needs. I'll have to show you a movie sometime too. I'm guessing you've never watch TV then either..."

"No.... Sorry. Where I was at, they never let me... do anything..." She looked at his eyes and said, "When we get to know eachother more... I think I might be able to share my entire past with you..... but, I... I just met you.. so..."

"Completely understandable. It probably wouldn't be the smartest thing if everyone around here knew what I did either..." He looks at her. "I wish I could tell you and know you wouldn't freak out and abandon me forever."

"I wouldn't...well.. that is... If you killed innocent women and children all over the world as a mass murderer... then I MIGHT run away," She laughed but then got really serious when she said the next, "You can tell me if you want to... I've seen some pretty bad things... enough to scar my brain and eyes forever... I don't think there's anything that would make me run away from you... Your the sweetest..." She cut off and sighed. "If you tell me yours, I'll tell you mine... But only tell me when your ready.... No push or shove, no rush or pressure.... when your ready. And i'll be there to listen." She finnally gave into her urge and gave him a quick hug, then wrapped her arms around her knees and sat there.

Orpheus smiles and nods. "I want to tell you... You deserve to know the truth." He looks out at the rest of the forest before continuing. "I was going out with this girl for a while. My parents went away for the weekend and she and I had been planning to spend the extent of the night together. She asked me to play for her and I finally broke down and played her a song I wrote. After...... we slept together. We weren't really planning on doing that... We'd talked about it before. She just.. threw herself on me." He starts to find his shoes very interesting. "She got pregnant. Her parents charged me with rape. She was convinced I'd bewitched her into doing it. The sentence was jailtime or a correction facility. My parents chose the correction facility and I landed here." He sighs. "I swear I didn't mean to hurt her..."

Nikita just sits there staring at him. "You thought I would run away from you for that?" She gets up and moves down in front of him, grabs his arms and continues, "Look at me for a sec. Orpheus, you didn't do anything wrong. It was a mistake and apparently that girl didn't love you because if she did, she wouldn't have hurt you like she did. It's stupid and immature. She doesn't know what she lost, and that something was really great. Trust me. I know 'people' the way that most don't. I understand, you loved her.... You really did, I'm just really sorry you had to go through that and you deserve something and someone so much better." She gets up and walks a few feet away. Finally she says, "I guess it's my turn...." She starts pacing back and forth while playing with her hands, never looking at Orpheus. "When I was a little girl, my family was killed and I was sent to a wicked man who made me his slave. I was at his beck and call. I got whipped everyday and beat everyday. I cooked, cleaned, and was forced to do things i never wanted to do. I got an education, though only because he said there would be no imbisles or dumbasses living under his roof and/or serving him." She started crying silent tears and kept going. "I learned how to hide all my emotions, it was for the better. And the more I did his biding, the more I jsut wanted to die. It has been like that since I was 5... I'm now 17. 12 fucking years with him.... Finally I was able to get on his nerves, but instead of being sent away I was passed from person to person. I got angry and did some horrible things to the men who mastered me. Finally, he came and got me one night, saying something about wizardry and magick. He was sending me away and I ended up here. Ashamed, hurt, broken, scared, lonley, and every other fucking emo feeling there is. I hate my life and just want to get away from my past... but it keeps haunting me..." She collapsed on her butt, onto the ground and put her head on her knees, crying, soft whimpers coming from her throat. "And most of all.... I hate that I'm not strong enough... I was never strong enough..." She paused and then said softly, "I'm sorry."

Orpheus goes over and kneels in front of her. He lifts her chin and wipes the tears from her cheeks. "You were strong enough to relive it. That's all that matters."

Nikita shakes her head and says, "No, it's not. I'm always scared... I'm always hurt, I'm always crying.. I'm not strong enough, and never will be... I can't even talk to most people.." She paused and looked up at him, "I'm glad I met you, though. Thank you."

Orpheus smiles. "Maybe it's better to let everything out rather than running away from it like I do." He brushes some hair out of her face. "I'm glad to have met you, too."

She smiles sadly and says, "How could she do that to you? She's a bitch!" She laughs a little and then says, "Your the only one who knows, so... please don't say anything to anyone. And you didn't have to tell me that, so I thank you again." Her stomach growls and she looks at him. "Mind helping me up, I think it's time for some grubbage." she says, smiling at him.

"Well, she was only a bitch after she went along with her parents," he says, standing up and holding a hand out for her. "And I promise I won't tell anyone."

They walk into the dining hall and Nikita sniffs the air, smelling all the delicious food. She looks over at Orpheus and says, "Meet you back at that table over there?" Pointing over to a table in the corner of the room.
[buffet baby! lol]

((Aah!!! Buffets are amazing!))
Orpheus nods. "Sure." He goes to get his food before heading over to the table. He sets his guitar case down and sits near the middle of the table because I'm assuming this is a rectangular table.

Nikita sits down beside him and digs in. "So, talk."

((*shrugs* Well, we can both see it our own ways. I don't think it matters.))
"Talk about what?" he asks as he eats. "I've run out of questions for you."

"uh... no idea either. Um.. what are your thoughts about today?" She continues stuffing her face, not caring wether he saw or not.

"Overall, today was a good day. I would have liked to play my guitar more, but there were people around. So, I'll just do that later," he says, already finishing his food. "But I got to draw and talk to you so that makes up for it." He smiles at her.

She smiles back and then says, "So, are you just shy in publc to play your guitar or what? If you don't mind me asking.."

"Well, I figure that it's part of my mage. That's what turned my ex into the world's biggest bitch. So, I try to avoid playing. Though, if you promise not to turn into a bitch like her I could play you something I wrote sometime."

She smiled at him and leaned a little bit closer, "I promise." She thought about it for a second and said, "Wait, how'd that turn her into a bitch?"
