[IC] A Whole New World

[KatherinWinter]

Zack was pleased to hear this. He was relieved that he had a quality that she was looking for. He understood her hesitation. She had been hurt before. Although such things were rare on his planet. He knew what that kind of pain could do to a person. "Women are so few that we must treasure them. Women hold the power so men are often the ones mistreated."

[Soul Hunter]

"Ah it's quite different here on earth, men hod a lot of the power on earth, it's only in the last century we've even gotten equal rights" she said to him. "To be honest, some places still do't even have such things as equal rights for man and women" she explained to him "But then again with that many women get treated quite badly but women treat men quite badly on this planet at times as well" she said and sighed "I just wish it was more peaceful on this planet to be honest"

[KatherinWinter]

"I dont think it is possible for there to be total peace." Zack said sadly. "Someone always wants to have more. Is there anything else that you would like to do before we head back to your place?"

[Soul Hunter]

"Ah, that's true but I can always keep hoping for it can't I?" she smiled "Hmm, nope nothing really, ah wait i need to go pick up a halter for the foal and some food for Calcifer" she said to him and walked back to the car holding his hand gently.

[KatherinWinter]

"You can hope for anything you want." zack told her as they walked back to the car. He was pleased that she was becoming more comfortable with his touch. The fact that she took his hand on her own reassured him greatly. "Where do you get these things?"

[Soul Hunter]

"From a pet shop" she answered him and began to star the car once he was in and had his seat belt on. "Ok then, ready?" she asked him before she began to drive to the pet shop on the way home. She looked to him once they were there "want to come inside?" she asked him before getting out of the car and heading into the shop "Umm, hey there I ordered a shire foal halter for today?" she asked the person at the counter.

[KatherinWinter]

Zack followed her into the pet store. He found it interesting that they sold pet on her planet. He walked the aisles slowly. He studied all the animals carefully. He found them all very curious. He was sure that he could recreate each of them. He smiled at the person behind the counter. She gave him an odd look but didn't make any comments. He wondered what he had done to cause the look.

[Soul Hunter]

"Ok that's the halter now the bird food, did you find where it was in the aisles?" she asked him and let him lead the way, she found the food for calcifer and asked him to give her a hand since it was a little heavy "Perfect, thanks for the help Zack" she smiled and payed for the stuff before heading to the car asking him to help with the cockatoo feed again as they walked to the car and she opened the boot to put it in.

[KatherinWinter]

"I think I can recreate all the creatures in the pet store." He told her as he put the bird food into the back of the car. Once the items where in the car he climbed into the passenger seat. He could hardly wait to get back to her place. His hands itched to get his hands on his tools. He wondered who he needed to talk about selling his sculptures. He was eager to make his mark on her world. He was ready to find his place on his new home.

[Soul Hunter]

"Ah that's good, animal statues always sell well here so that should do well, grid ones sell very well as do horses, so why not try doing a sculpture of Calcifer when you get back, cockatoo statues sell really well at the man's store I'll introduce you to in a few days, so having a sculpture of a bird will be good to show him as well. You can try making smaller ones of other animals as well, also engrave your name on the bottom of them so that no one can claim them as their own work" she said as she parked p in her drive and put the halter inside before going to help him wight eh bird feed and put it in the animal room, she stored animal things in there to keep it separate front he rest of the house.

[KatherinWinter]

"I think I can do an excellent sculpture of Calcifer. I will look for just the right piece of wood as soon as I am able. Thank you for helping with this. I am very exciting at the thought of making money doing something that I love so much and it is all because of you." Zack gently caressed her cheek. He wanted to kiss her again but he knew he was pushing his luck stealing this small caress. "Do you want me to help you with supper before I search for the wood I need?"

[Soul Hunter]

Keita smiled and nodded "Well I'm sure he'll pose nicely for you" she smiled and nodded "Ok then, what shall we have?" she asked thinking for a moment and looked to him a moment "Hmm, how about we have some pasta tonight?" she asked "with bacon, onion and tomatoes?" she asked him smiling.

[KatherinWinter]

"That sounds very interesting. Would you like me to cut the vegetables again?" Zack asked as he went to the sink to wash his hands. He could was curious about this new meal she planned to make. He liked how they mixed different foods together to make new foods. He was eager to learn how to do it for himself.

[Soul Hunter]

"If you can cut up to tomatoes and some of the bacon then yes please" she said as she got out a lot of the ingredients that were needed."Hmm, lets see" she said and soon got to work on cooking the pasta before she began to cook the rest of the things needed and smiled once it was done since it was a relatively simple and quick recipe.

[KatherinWinter]

Zack took the tomatoes and the bacon. He carefully began cutting them into smaller pieces. He liked helping her cook. It was a good way to spend time with her. Time together that would allow her to become more comfortable with him. When he finished cutting the bacon and the tomatoes he handed them to her.

[Soul Hunter]

She had cut up the onion and smiled putting it all together to cook, one it had finished she asked him to get out some bowls and then served it for them both, it smelt delicious that was for sure. Smiling she took the plates to the table and then asked him if there was anything he wanted to drink.

[KatherinWinter]

"I don't think juice will go well with this. I guess I will have milk." Zack told her. He got up and filled his own glass. He dug into the meal. It was a very good dish. He watched her as she eat. She was a beautful woman and deserved more out of life then to be so alone. He would try to help her with that. But first he needed to see about recreating her pet. Maybe she could set Calcief's statue besides the statue of her.

[Soul Hunter]

Keita smiled and finished off her dinner rather quickly and enjoyed herself eating meals with him each day. "So nice to have someone to eat with" she smiled contently and Calcifer soon joined them nibbling on a bit of pasta she'd put aside for him. "Cheeky bird" she said scratching the birds head."Did you enjoy yourself?" she asked

[KatherinWinter]

"I feel like I learned a lot about your world's art. I am not sure that my understanding of your world's art will help me fit into your world. But atleast I know that I can support myself." Zack told her.

[Soul Hunter]

She smiled "Well you got to watch a few people that were there as well so it should've helped you a little and knowing about the culture of a place will help you learn about the place" she smiled at him. "Anyway, want some ice-cream, we can try the vanilla one this time" she said to him.
