She gave a smile thankful that he hadn't mentioned anything but she thought she had seen a change on his face but it came and gone to quickly for her to be sure. She had to quickly grab for the items as he shoved them into her hands and the next thing she was in his arms. She had to remind herself to breath. "Um...I can understand what you are doing but I can walk" she said in a confident tone but not really minding that he carried her. "I hope I'm not too heavy for you or that the stream or river isn't too far" she said blushing a little bit.

"I will be carrying you and it is not far at all. Right behind the hut really." He said as he walked out of the door and then closed it. He walked steadily and quickly into the tree's and then almost instantly they were in a small clearing with very slow moving water. He set Evangeline on a rock that was almost like a ledge above the water. "This is the best spot for the I think." He commented and then set a small cup of dirt next to her. "Do you know how to use a fishing pole?" Was his next question. Anubis would be using the spear a little ways from where she was. It was in hearing and seeing range but it was so he wouldn't disturb the fish over at her end.

She felt awkward with him carrying her, no one had ever done this with her even the other prisoners when she would be crawling her way back to her bed to get a little bit of sleep. She had to shake her head and stare at Anubis to get those thoughts out of her head. She was happy when he sat her down. She looked at the water, she wanted to jump in and just cool off. Feel the water on her skin and let all her worries flow away with the water. "I assume it's not that hard" she said but she had never fished before. She couldn't even remember seeing anyone fish, most of her life was a blank before the devils came into her life.

"It's easy here." Anubis said and then showed her how to put a worm on and than cast it. "If you want in a bit we can go swimming. I just think that it's best to get the fish so we don't have to wait all day for them to come back." He commented and gave her a quick smile before heading down the ledge and onto the shore. He tool off his shirts and stripped down to a pair of shorts and began to slowly wade into the water. He stood in the middle, a little ways from Evangeline, and bid his time. Whenever a fish got close to him he would strike with the spear and wa la! He now had a fish.

She watched him when he took the pole and she thought that it was easy. So when he gave her the pole she was kind of excited to try it out. She stuck her feet in the water a little bit just to feel the water. She turned her head to see where Anubis was going and then she saw him strip and she immediatly looked at the water and where the pole was. She took a deep breath and let it go. "Just stay calm and fish Evangeline" she coached herself and just focused on fishing.

After catching about six fish Anubis was ready for a break. He came back to the shore, only mid calf and down had really gotten wet. He lay them down in a small pool of water that was cut off from the rest of the water. This would keep them fresh enough until he could work with them back at home. three was enough to cook and the others he would smoke and dry. He looked up at Evangeline and decided to take a look to see how she was doing. Depending on her amount of fish. She could get any kind of clothes she wanted. The fish up here were rare compared to the ones that were in the market. Not many dared venture this far so Anubis was lucky because he got a great price for trade ins. How else would he make money? So he walked up to Evangelin and sat next to her. "How's it going?" He questioned.

She had caught a couple of fish but some of them she just couldn't bare to keep so she put them back. She was getting a little tired from the warm sun and lack of sleep. She yawn a couple of times and dozed off until a fish was tugging on the line then she'd wake up. Evangeline gave Anubis a smile when he came back over but looked down at the water "I've caught two" she said a little disappointed in herself "How'd it go for you?"

"That's all right let see what you got." Anubis said and looked down. A look of happy surprise was than on his face. "You probably caught the best two you could have." He commented and picked up the fish she had gotten. How she had managed to get two of them was beyond him. She must be a lucky fisher. "These will fetch a really good price at the market so we can get you some clothing that will actually fit." He finally told her and then headed to the small pool of cool water. "If you'd like to go swimming or get into the water you can." He than said.

Her face glowed at his apprasion, she didn't think that she had done all that great but for some reason he did. Maybe he was just being nice to her but then he mentioned something about clothes for her. "Oh, you don't have to do that. I had fun fishing for the first time and that's all that matters to me" she said with a nice smile on her face. Though new clothes or even just good clothes would be fine with her but she didn't mind either way. Evangeline jumped up when he said that she could go swimming "I would very much like that" She said as she headed closer to the water.

He was going to get her clothes whether she said she didn't need them or not. It would be easier on him as well as her to have something that fitted her and he guessed would probably be much more comfortable. He followed her to the water and walked in himself to a deeper part where he was hip deep. "It feels nice and right here the river bed doesn't have many rocks that'll hurt your feet." He motioned for her to come on in, hoping she wouldn't have the unfortunate accident of stepping on a rock or stick her first step. That would be lovely.
((Sorry bout the shortness. Late night.))

She watched him get in the water and she followed suit. The water was a little cold but it felt great. She moved a little further out and stepped on something that made her want to scream. She bit her bottom lip hard to keep herself from screaming in pain. She just moved forward a little bit to where Anubis was standing. She closed her eyes to try and consentrate on the good feeling the water was giving her and to ignore the pain she felt in her feet.
Evangeline made it to him and she sighed with relief. "The water feels really good" she said giving him a smile and then turned her attention to the flow of the water "How did you ever find this place?"

He noticed her pain and winced. That had to have hurt. Definitely really badly hurt. But he let it go as she made it on her own towards him. "It does doesn't it." He commented about the water. "The soft feel of it against your skin and how its just cool enough to be refreshing." Plus there are no alligators trying to snap your head off. But he didn't mention that. He thought for a moment about how he had found this place. It hadn't been easy really and it had just kinda happened. "Well I was wandering around looking for a place that would suit my needs and that also looked vastly different from my home land. This is definitely different and beautiful. I just kind of wandered until I could no more and I ended here." He hoped that that would be a good enough answer for her as he didn't want to give her his life story quite yet. It might scare her. He didn't know.

She listened to him as she dipped down further into the water, letting it relax her tense muscle. "Well then you are very lucky I guess" she said in a soft tone and dunked under the water. She stayed there for several minutes. She loved to be surrounded by the water, it was calming and after being trapped in caves of fire where water was hardly around this was nice.
Evangeline finally decided to come back up to the surface but she stayed more then halfway under the water. She cleared the water away from her eyes and looked at Anubis. To him she probably looked like a child though she was well into her adulthood by her cultures standards. She wasn't sure what to say at this point or what to do. She never dreamed of meeting a decent person in her life again and she was at a loss of what to do.

"Yea lucky..." He said with a look on his face that made it blatantly obvious that he of all people was not lucky. Well he might have been lucky to be able to leave his home land and come here. He might have been lucky to have survived and to be living as well as he did here. But the rest of his life had not been lucky. By far it had not been good at all. Being cursed by the god of death can do that to someone no? Anubis watched her as she sunk under the water. It must have felt nice to her after all her wounds would probably enjoy the coolness of the water. When she came back up, wiping the water from her eyes, Anubis blushed some. She was cute. He wasn't sure of her age so he was grateful that his darker toned skin would hide the very slight pinking of his cheeks. Then he decided to ask, "If you don't find it rude. How old are you?" In response he would tell her his own, that is if she asked.
