Rael walked over to the steps, walked up a few, and sat down. "Well, shoe polishing, hmmm, that'd probably be lowest and most easily attained. So that'd just be, well that's already been attained." She allowed her face to take on an extremely serious look. "A hug? that's probably somewhere in the middle, and can be attained by, by, by a lot of laughing, how about?" She thought a moment, "and stargazing would be at the top of the list, which you would have to do something absolutely, amazingly sweet in order to attain. Any other rewards you'd like to suggest, or ask about how you could attain?" She smiled and lost all of the seriousness she had had a moment before.

"So wouldn't I already have attained a hug? Or have we been wandering around like a bunch of puritans at a funeral?" Charon asked. "And I suppose the only thing I'd like to add would be an afternoon of wandering around together. I say we make that low mid-level." He grinned at her, his smile inviting her to think of more.
Suddenly he dropped his smile and put on a mock thoughtful look. "Why is it that I'm the only one getting rewards, though? Shouldn't we figure out a list for you to work towards?" he asked, only half joking.

A smile spread across her face at his slight joke, but she remained seated. After he had added the afternoon of wandering, she smiled. "Wandering has been attained, and may be attained again, assuming we allow ourselves to be lost again." She seen the smile that said she could think of more awards spread across his face.
When he lost his smile, she allowed her curiousness to take over, and waited for what he had to say. She patted the area next to where she sat. "Plenty of room to sit and discuss my rewards." She watched and waited to see if he really took her up on her business offer.

Charon sat down and scootched in close to her. "Well, I suppose I can offer you the same sort of things you're offering me," he said, "but I kinda think that's a bit impersonal, and I feel your rewards should be something you'd really enjoy. So, even though I'll probly regret this in a couple minutes, I'll let you choose what you want." He smiled at her, then added, "Within reason, of course."

Rael smiled evilly, until he added his last comment. "Of course, you'd take all of the fun out of it," she pretended to pout. She leaned forward a bit and placed her elbows on her knees. "How about, we start with a small list of rewards? Like: a hug, a trip to Hogsmeade, a chat, a smile, and..." she paused to think of a fifth reward she would like. The one that came to mind was almost ready to roll off her tongue, when she changed her mind. "and a listening session with you playing drums?"
She sat back, fully aware of his proximity to her, and waited for his reply.

Charon nodded his head as he heard her proposed rewards. It was nothing surprising, at least not until she came to the part about him playing drums.
"I've gotta say, I think that's the first time anybody's ever called a listening session with me playing drums a reward. Actually, I think that's the first time anyone's ever said anything about one at all," Charon said.
"I think it should be fairly easy to put these in order. From easiest to attain to hardest: smile, chat, hug, drums, Hogsmeade." He looked over at her. "Does that sound goods to you? Or did you have anything you'd like to add to or subtract from the list?"

She allowed a lopsided smile to form on her lips at what he said about the drums. "I don't know, maybe I should take the drum listening session back," she joked. "No, I like the list. However, now I need to know what to do to attain these rewards." She turned her face to Charon, and realized how close he was sitting to her. She simply allowed a full smile to return to her face as she waited for his answers.

They had entered the part that Charon hadn't thought of. "Well, I don't think you'll have any trouble attaining the chat or the smile. I think as long as you're still breathing and not trying to kill me you'll have those," he said. He smiled as he thought of suitable tasks to earn the other things. "For the hug, all you have to do is make me laugh, and you can cash it in at any time. The drums...hmmmm....for the drums, you'll need to save up 7 hugs, and let me know when you want it so I can make sure I have time. And for Hogsmeade...." he broke off competely in order to think. "For Hogsmeade, save up 3 drums, and let me know a week in advance," he finished.

"You mean I have save things up in order to attain something higher on the list? Sounds fair enough." She paused for a moment. "There's only one problem between your list and mine, I have one more reward than you do. And since I chose your other rewards, I'll let you choose the last one." She hoped he would make the choice something she didn't mind. She looked at his eyes, and waited for his answer.

Charon glanced over at Rael and said, "Did you know I have this horrible dislike of making decisions? Because I really do." He looked at his feet as he thought for a few minutes, then said, "Well, I could say a kiss, but i really don't think that's something that should be earned, I think it's more of the sort of thing that should be given freely. So I think I'll go with setting time aside just to hang out and enjoy each other's company." He looked back over at Real to see how she'd respond.

Rael looked down the stairwell and waited for his answer, but bit her bottom lip nervously when he said kiss. She was surprised at what he said afterwards, though. She nodded her head when he finished, she liked the way he had put it. "I agree with you, and all you have to do is ask. I'll say it's just below the hug on my list." She faced Charon again, and smiled. "And I do believe you've gained quite a few hugs, or one really, really long one, if you'd like it." Rael smiled at him, and watched his face to see his reaction.
(ooc: what is with real again? lol)

Charon smiled at her and said, "Dangit! I just told you how much I dislike making decisions." He kept his tone joking, until he continued on. "Nothing would give me greater pleasure right now than to hold you for a good long while," he said.

Rael heard the change of tone in his voice, and blushed at what he had said last. "Yes, you did tell me that," she said lightly. "But I believe you made the decision already, so there's nothing I can do about it." She smiled nervously at Charon, not really sure how he wanted to hug, so she slightly shifted her weight to lean against him some and figured he could work out the rest on his own.

When Charon felt Rael lean against him he brought his arm up and put it across her shoulders. He then brought his other arm up and clasped his hands lightly on her arm. When his arms were in position, he lowered his head so that his cheek was resting on the top of her head. He closed his eyes and breathed a quiet sigh of cintentment.

Rael's nervous smile turned into one of contentment when Charon had positioned himelf around her. She placed her arm closest to him on her own thigh, and with her hand furthest away, she placed it gently in the crook of his arm around the front of her. She allowed of the memories of that time with Charon to play before he eyes, while she allowed her smile to soften and let the nerves in her body calm.
