Flanna looked over at him, her green eyes glimmering, quirking an eyebrow. "Can we do it together? I'd rather not be taken care of. Razor tried that. Look where that got us. Ethan has tried that. Not working out so well for us either." She sighed sadly.

He sighed and thought about how to say it, "Flanna I don't need to take care of you, you do a fine job of it yourself. I just don't want anything to happen to you, I want to be able to help you when you need me and I screwed it up by putting the guild before my best friend. Between you and me we've always looked out for one another-- hell I'm alive now because of you.." And all the times she'd been the look out for him, all the times she'd put herself on the line for him.
"Taking care of you isn't trying to cage you, Flanna. It's impossible to do that, your like a wild horse and that's what makes you special.." he was tumbling but Caleb normally told her exactly how he felt about things. "I won't ever stop you from doing what you think you have too-- you've got your own mind. I just want to be there when you need he extra hands--" To stand there at her side when she needed it. He could ride the waves most of the time, take life as it came. Flanna never needed a champion, she did just fine being that for herself.

Flanna watched him for a long moment, shaking her head. "You know, when I think you are done amazing me, you always seem to surprise me more." She blushed slightly, not really knowing what to say. "I appreciate it, Caleb. You always seem to know what I need, when I need it. Best voyage partner a girl could ever have."

He grinned a bit embarrassed at himself and ran his hand over the back of his neck. "Yeah well, don't spread it around, okay?" letting out a breath he grinned a bit. "Besides, there isn't about anyone else I'd want to take off on an adventure with really-- Tristan's kind of a killjoy.."

Flanna snorted. "Well I won't. Wouldn't want anyone to know you have a soooft spot for me." She teased lightly, laughing. She didn't think he really did. "And I doubt I'll do any adventuring for a long time. Can't afford it."

He raised a brow, soft spot? "Well best if you don't because word gets around and no one will let you alone.." Satisfied with that he leaned back and sighed again, rubbing the bridge of his nose. "You know, Flanna, we could go right now if we wanted too.." He did have money just money brought attention in New York and none of it was legal tender.

Flanna raised her eyebrows. "Why would you want to run off with me? You got lots of girls to have here, Caleb.." She pat his leg gently. "Besides, we'd need lots of money...I don't want to go off until I can get my plans off the ground.."

He coughed a bit, "Umm I uh-- I've got money-- and well why not you? You're my best friend Irish and if you want to go we'll go.."
Hell the money he had was just sitting in a bank not being used, because money brought a lot of attention in New York so he had just put it all away and used what he needed. "Look Flanna it's not like I'm saying run off and marry me but if you want to go somewhere to get away-- well I've got the money to go.."

Flanna shook her head. "I just don't know." She laughed. "I want to start a horse farm...hell, I don't think I'm old enough to handle that." She looked over at Caleb. "And of course you don't want to marry my sorry ass. I'm sure you'd take that as some sort of incest." She shrugged. "No, I think we got to stick in New York for a bit longer."

He sighed, "Yeah well we do what we can.. to be honest I never thought about marrying anyone. Not saying my folks didn't do to well but it just never struck me as something in my future. Hell I didn't have a future until recently.." Until Tristan had said they needed to go back to New York to find Bucky.
"Shit, well if we have to stay I'm not going to complain-- but you know something. I miss the highlands-- a horse farm with nothing for miles around sounds nice..." He never talked about home but Caleb WAS from the Highlands of Scotland and he missed it when he thought about it to much.

Flanna chuckled. "Well its all one day at a time, right?" She smiled. "And men aren't supposed to talk about marriage anyways. It's always the women that want them--not the men." She rolled her eyes. "I know I know, you dislike social norms."
She smiled. "Yeah, I know, right?" She closed her eyes for a moment, the wind blowing in her hair. "I just want to be able to get away from anything that has to do with the filth. Just run around with horses; do whatever I want."

He beamed at her, "Damn right I hate social norms-- why would anyone want to be what everyone expects them to be huh?"
He watched the wind catch her hair and she could see it with her, running wild like that. "You'll get that Flanna--" A part of him wanted to help her get that, get away from the noise of the cities and get back to where both their roots lay. In the land--

Flanna laughed. "Well some people enjoy that, Caleb. But of course, you never did." She rolled her eyes, rubbing her hands warm.
"Maybe I will, maybe I won't. You don't ever know that, do you?" She smirked, shaking her head, opening her eyes. "I might stay here, get married to Ethan, and become a fat lazy housewife with five kids."

He looked at her like she was stark raving mad before he ran a hand threw her hair, just a moment. "Flanna, that isn't the life for you-- make this Ethan bloke take you across the country so you can find your ranch-- " It didn't have to be him, was his point. "What ever you want from this life Flanna, you should take it. Don't let someone tame you.."

Flanna smiled softly, resting her head on his shoulder. "I don't take at the expensive of others. Not anymore; I try not to." She shrugged. "and I'm not tamed..." She quirked an eyebrow, frowning. "..am I?"
