"Over the river and through the woods." Darryn's answer was just as vague, though maybe not for the exact same reasons. When he entered the room, he ran his hand along the smooth bedpost.

"Very nice."

Ashleigh glanced over now to darryn, the look on her face a mixture of things, but the main point clear.... back away from her bed, he wasn't getting in.

Darryn (partly out of fear for his life) held up his hands and took two huge steps backward.

"Hey, take it easy. I was just commenting about the craftsmanship. Normally you don't find sturdy quality in a more contemporary style. They are all boxy or the grain gives way to weakness."

Ashleigh relaxed, very visibly as he stepped away murmuring a soft apology, looking over to him.

" sorry, bad luck with men."

she explained simply, looking to the snow covered window and wincing.

" Well, it's already covering the fifth floor..."

Darryn just gave a joking wave.

"Don't worry about it. I have bad luck with men too." The man walked over to the window, looking at the solid sheet of white.

"That's not so horrible. I can walk around in your room whenever I want without turning to a smoldering pile of ash."

Darryn tilted his head to one side and then the other.

"I can't decide if that is a good thing or not." The man walked over to her dresser, leaning over and looking at the little trinkets atop it.

" You'll be fine, I keep a blood cooler for things like this... unless your referring to my company, and then by all means, i can fix that problem."

ashleigh teased, watching him casually now.

"Mmm..." Darryn was set on examining a little box with a moon painted on the lid. Very carefully he reached out to touch it (simply on impulse). His fingertip drifted over the brushstrokes, but then his fingernail caught a tiny, almost imperceptible trigger. He stood a little straighter as the box lid opened slowly to a little ballerina and wolf twirling to the background of song.

Ashleigh looked over as the song hit her ears, moving to close the box without a word, and left the room. Bad memories... she simply liked the box still, so kept it.

Darryn watched her go, having one of those feeling where you know that you did something wrong even if you aren't sure what it was. The man kind of just stood there, not wanting to follow her at first. But then he did.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..." Mean to what? Nearly die in your front yard? Trigger the memory box? Ruin your week?

" I know. Your fine... I told you, bad luck with men."

she reiterated simply, smiling back at him.

" You currently hold the title for the person who's lasted the second longest."

Darryn followed along, hopping from one circular tile to the next.

"Well, now I know the secret to a woman's heart: band aids. Lots and lots of band aids." He grinned at her lightly, her somber mood not dampening him so much.

" Try not using her."

ashleigh replied honestly, sighing inwardly, feelings now falling behind a mask, as she wondered on.

Darryn was suddenly muted. He was discovering that Ashleigh had this amazing talent for absolutely murdering conversation.

"So. Ashleigh. Leigh. Ashy. Asher-ashleigherson...."
