Who: Xaphania and Lee
What: meeting! talking! warm happy feelings!
where: the air field!
when: Monday mid-afternoon

Xaphania liked watching them reach for the sky, it was was brought her to the air field day after day. She didn't need a job, nor really a place to stay; she didn't need to eat, or wash herself or her clothing. It gave her all the time in the world to do fun things, like watch little matchstick men look to the skies and try to make her his.

Oh, how she longed to fly herself, to feel the sun on her wings and just breathe. But she had promised herself that she would not, so she did not. It was too small a field to be trapped in, if she dared, someone would see. There was no place safe from prying eyes.

As she came upon the field today, she recognised the hare jumping amongst the dandy-lions. "Hester," she said so quietly it was less than a whisper; but she was an angel, and if she wanted her whisper to carry, it would. She smiled as she saw Lee next to him - Lee, not a ghost, but fully formed. This wasn't a dream, nor was it heaven, but she felt no ill about seeing the man. How could she make him see and understand? Perhaps the hare had heard the whisper and knew what it meant. Perhaps not, but in time Xaphania was certain she and the brave protector would come to know the other.

Like a child who'd been summoned by the call of his favorite food, Lee whirled to look at the source of the voice and found himself gazing at a blonde woman who was suddenly there -- and looking none too bad, too. There was something about her that drew and kept his attention to her.

Or maybe it was Hester, who was growing ever more suspicious and intrigued at the same time by this new character. She had completely missed her arrival -- and what did she mean that she knew the but they didn't? How did she know their name and who was Lyra? She turned to Lee for his decision.

But well, Lee wasn't one to turn down the invitation of a beautiful woman. "I do have a minute, Ma'am, an hour if y'like." Turning to Lawrence, he asked the mechanic for the same courtesy before he started towards her, removing his hat to comb his hair back and flatten it again with his hat.

"How can I be of service, Ma'am?" he asked as he finished his approach.
