Relaxation Time; How much can happen on Rory's vacation?

Rory Mareson was dog tired. She pulled in the little sloop she had rented and brought it right up to the shore. The island was so small. She hadn't been to the islands before. She'd been a sailor a few times in life, always under hire, but for once she was doing something just for herself. Tracks left in the sand showed her that other people had been here, but she wasn't sure how long ago, or if others were still here with her.
She worked her boat as high up on the shore as she could, rigging it to a few strong-looking trees. She was glad she'd come in at high-tide, it made pulling up and beaching much easier. After taking her supplies off the ship and packing them into a bag, Rory set off. She wasn't too worried about anyone trying to steal the ship, it didn't belong to her and it was a piece of junk anyway. Hiking into the wilderness, she discovered that the island was rather pleasant.
She hiked all day, deep into the island's interior. When it began to get dark outside, Rory found a small cave and set down her bag. She unpacked her bedroll and blanket in the dark and lay down to go to sleep.

Eryn walked alone in the night. He breathed in the warm moist night air of the island. The slight hint of seaweed hung in the air, and the gentle lapping of the waves was like drug to him. The moon was bright and it's rays danced amidst the waves as they softly churned against the shore. Silence ensued...

He sat wearily against a tree, lolling his head back against it. He watched the dark clouds as they glided astride the sky. He began to sing, softly at first, but with increasing volume. It was a haunting song of love lost and love anew. It'd been so long since he could release the tensity within him, and it was exhausting.

Rory woke up refreshed in the morning. She hadn't felt this free in a long time. For once she wasn't trying to hunt people down and not get captured. For once she wasn't fighting for her life while she tried to take the lives of others. She allowed herself to wonder a moment if she could live like this, but as usual her common sense rebuked her: she needed to have an income, she was good at her job, and it was in her nature to do this, she couldn't escape it if she tried.
After breakfasting on some sublime island fruits, Rory went out to explore more of the island. She headed toward the opposite shore, wanting to make sure how many other people were here while getting the lay of the land. She pressed further inland, heaed for the other side of the island, excited to be out in the wilderness and wondering at what or who she might find.

Eryn woke sharply, jolting up from his resigned position. He shook the sand from his hair, and rose to his feet. The day was already in it's prime, the Sun's beams shot their glory upon the trees as the swayed with the winds of Summer. He appeared to be alone, and that made it all the better. There was a noise. Slight at first, but growing. Footsteps.

"Hello?"

Rory jumped. She'd been walking for a good part of the day and was fairly certain that she was the only person on this island. She had been lost in thought and she thought she was alone. Oh well, she mumbled to herself. "Hello?" she called back tenatively as she rounded the next group of trees and came upon where she suspected the voice had come from.

The person called back, no doubt a female. He too was almost certain he was alone. He cautiously advanced a few feet, placed his hand on the hilt of his blade.
"Who are you?" Eryn asked warrily as a rather attractive woman stepped around the corner.

Rory was rather surprised by what she saw. She was expecting maybe a half-starved sailor who'd been shipwrecked or some freakish island dweller, the only thing that stopped her from commenting was the fact that this rather amazing specimen of man was ready to draw his weapon, and she simply wasn't in the mood for that sort of thing right now. She raised her hands innocently.
"My name's Rory," she said calmly. "May I ask what yours is?"

Eryn paused, then let his hand drop away," Eryn. Pleasure," he said, extending the hand that once rested on the hilt of his blade. The woman had a certain air of command about her. Her clothing was men's clothing: he approved. He was disgusted by luxurious clothing, and usually those who wore it. She had a patch that extended across her brow, a scare protruding slightly from it's edges. He wondered why she would be here.

"Likewise," she replied, taking the man's hand with a firm grip. She looked around, there seemed to be nothing particular about the spot he had been in, what was it that had caused him to be in this spot, at this time. "So," she said, relaxing a bit. Part of her didn't know what to say, and the other part was still speechless, oh what to do?

"So," Eryn said, leaning his back against a great rock facing the sea,"What brings you to these islands?" Eryn asked. He was hardly a master piece at meeting new people. The island was remoted and not that large. He had to wonder exactly how they ended up together, this being one of the least visited places in all of Alagaesia.

Mikka sighed, leaning against a tree opposite him. "Ye know, the tide was right and my ship was good. I decided to take a break for awhile." She breathed in the fresh island air. "And yourself? Why do you happen to be here?"

"Me?" Eryn asked,"I came to take a breath. If you haven't heard, it's been really hard around Central Alagaesia what with all the maruaders. It's been long work days for anyone with a sword." Eryn stood for a moment, admiring the waters.

Rory laughed dryly. "Don't I know it," she replied. "You're looking at one of the most-often-hired swords in all of Alagaesia." She stretched a bit, following his gaze to the waters - she'd managed to cover the entire island in less than two days. She stood there awkwardly for a minute, then offered, "I was just going to make lunch if you'd care to join me..." She trailed off at the end, a bit unsure.

Eryn smiled warmly. "If you're the first, then I'm the second,"he laughed,"and lunch sounds great." He'd not been expecting company, especially not pleasurable company.

Rory returned his smile. She found a spot to sit down next to a conveniantly flat and large rock and slung her pack off her shoulder. She pulled some fruit she had picked along the way, a few hard rolls, a canteen, and a pouch of jerky out of her pack and set everything out. She picked out a piece of the jerky and started her meal by chewing on it. "So, where abouts in Alagaesia are you from number two?" she asked casually.
