[IC] City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

[Tyler Night]

Tyler stands up a bit wobbly. Chuckling he starts walking, a little crooked, heading out to the front porch of the bar with Ele under his arm. Soon after Amber and Terri join them then finally Vale. He carries a large stereo with a couple tape decks on it. He plugs it in and pushes play on the first tape deck. Taking a few seconds it starts playing owl hoots and hollers. He lets the tape play for 30 seconds before hearing a real owl hoot off in the distance then a second soon after. After another 30 seconds he turns it off. More hoots coming in from every direction.

"Now it starts."

Tyler says with a smile. As they sit there the hoots get louder and much quicker between them until the hoots sound like they are right on top of them.

"Oh my god! I see one!"

Amber says excitedly, looking into one of the tree's lining the driveway.

[DELETED08735]

"There's another!"

Ele said, pointing in another direction. Giggling and jumping up and down, Ele hugged Tyler's middle tightly and put her head on his chest,

"They're so beautiful!"

[Tyler Night]

"Yes they are, fun to watch them. They will probably be here all night now."

He smiles. Vale smirks and steps towards the railing on the porch, cupping his hands.

"Watch Vale babe, this is insane."

Vale sucks in and starts hooting at the owl in the tree. The owl suddenly turns its head his direction and caws back at him. Vale caws and hoots back at it. Suddenly it flies across the parking lot and lands near the porch in a tree. It hoots even closer to the porch than before. Vale moving around to the end hoots back and it lets out a holler, cawing multiple times. Vale and the owl keep going back and forth for a while.

[DELETED08735]

Watching in awe, Ele's eyes were wide as Vale and the owl had their conversation. It was amazing to see the connection between human and animal, and Ele wished she could have recorded it to watch again later.

Turning her head to kiss Tyler on the neck, Ele pressed her face in the curve of his neck and shoulder,

"That was so cool!"

[Tyler Night]

"We all have our unique abilities, that is one of his."

He says with a smile, holding onto Ele.

[DELETED08735]

Staying there for a while, Ele watched the owls, entranced by the beautiful birds. It was getting late, and her eyelids were drooping when a flash of white caught Ele's attention and she opened her eyes to follow the silent white ghost.

"A snowy owl!"

Ele gasped quietly, her mouth open in a small "O". Staring at the bird, Ele let go of Tyler and leaned on the porch rail to get a better look,

"I didn't think we would get to see one!"

[Tyler Night]

"Oh of course. We have 5 different types of owls around here, barn, barred, screech, grey and snowy owl."

He says with a smile.

"It has been a long time, hope I'm not too rusty with it."

Tyler steps up and lets out a mournful caw. The snowy owl dropping down into a lower branch in a tree not too far off from the porch, hoots at him. He tries it again then changes it over to a hoot back. The owls chest visible in the tree hoots multiple times causing its chest to puff out. Tyler calling out one more time gets a response he hadn't expected. The owl flies over to a truck and sits on the guard over the grill. It hoots at him and looks up, head tilted looking at them.

"Think it realizes we aren't owls."

He says with a smirk.

[DELETED08735]

"It probably thinks you're a strange naked bird who had a weird accent."

Ele teased, watching the owl.

"I wonder what its doing?"

[Tyler Night]

"I think it is as interested in watching us as we are watching it. I have heard lots of people mention a snowy owl watching them while they were stargazing out in this area. This is the likely culprit, that or the snowy owls out here are just naturally curious."

He looks over at her for a moment then hoots again at the owl. Its neck stretches out then drops down as it hoots back at him several times.

[DELETED08735]

Cuddling up to Tyler, Ele watched the owl closely, wishing she could read its mind.

[Tyler Night]

It hoots back at Tyler before flying off. Noticing the time Amber says.

"Oh shit, last call!"

She runs back into the bar to announce last call. Tyler looks at Ele and says.

"1:30, no more drinks after 2, you wanna get one last drink in or go to the suite?"

[DELETED08735]

"Suite, definitely. Any more drinks and you'll have to carry me,back."

Smirking before rising up to kiss Tyler and gently nibbling on his bottom lip, Ele said in a quiet voice,

"On second thought, getting carried by you sounds fantastic. Like a prince carrying his princess."

[Tyler Night]

"I will carry you."

He says with a chuckle.

"Technically we have only had 3 drinks."

[DELETED08735]

"Technicality means nothing, but of you would like to indulge more be my guest, I would just like to preserve this night,"

Ele tapped her temple with her finger,

"Right here, and I know that the more I drink the less I will remember."

[Tyler Night]

"I am good for tonight if you are."

He smiles.

"Let's go to bed."

[DELETED08735]

"Okie dokie!"

Smiling, Ele gave Vale and Terri hugs, then waved to Amber inside the bar. She loved this feeling, having friends to hang out with, a boyfriend to go home with, and having a night she would never forget. All of it made her wonder why she had fought so hard against it,

[Tyler Night]

He walks back to the suite with her. Walking in he stretches out, cracking his back.

"I am beat but feel so good."

[DELETED08735]

Holding Tyler around his waist, Ele smiled up and him and nodded in agreement,

"Tomorrow I'll probably be rolling every where, but for right now I feel great. But let's get to bed!"

Going to the bedroom, Ele undressed, but didn't bother with finding pajamas. She was exhausted and crawled into bed to snuggle under the covers.

[Tyler Night]

Tyler gets ready for bed as well, flopping into bed. He curls up with her and falls asleep soon after. Sleeping soundly until 10 when he gets up and walks to the kitchen. He grabs some water and drinks it as he wakes up.

[DELETED08735]

Rolling out of bed, Ele groaned as she pulled on a tank top before wandering out to the kitchen. Every part of her hurt, but especially her legs,

"Morning babe."
