~~THE PERFORMANCE THREAD~~ **aside** ((action)) %%thought%%

[Brown Eyes]

**Sure enough.  I'll keep both you AND Ennis safe!**




**ps. Jack, can I have your autograph??**
((blushes... )) 

**... you're nearly my favorite character in the film...  I feel all giddy just sending my moonbeams down to you.**

**pps. Mr. Ray, sir, never fear... we were just tussling.**

(( ))

[Meryl]

= The Moon and Jack will be sent to seperate corners if they don't give butterfly kisses forthwith! =

((Falls down laughing))   

[Daniel]

** Alright, Ms. Moon.  Wait til we get back to town where there's some paper and I'll see what I can do for you.  Mr. Raymille is entirely insistent on realism in his production, so unless they helicopter some out to me up here, you'll have to wait awhile. Don't forget to remind me. **

[Brown Eyes]

**Gee thanks Jack, you really are a star...  Now, get back to pining over Ennis before we get too distracted...**

YOUNG JACK:

((lies down on the ground, tired from the day but not yet sleepy. The night is peaceful and quiet. Even the dogs are calm. One SHEEPHERDING DOG nestles up beside JACK and looks out over the flock. JACK lazily strokes the dog's head and ears, leaning back and looking up at the sky.))

%% So many stars! %%

((With a gaze of lazy concentration, Jack lays his head on a napsack and looks at the sky. He presses his tongue against his lower lip in a soothing movement, letting the memories of the day ease him into a peaceful moment.))

[Ray]

**pps. Mr. Ray, sir, never fear... we were just tussling."

= ** Well okay then! ** =

Jack's Lower Lip

%%That has to be the best feeling in the world, feeling the light caress of Jack's tongue as he subconsciously moves it over me, sometimes gently biting.  I ***revel***in the sensation.  When he's lost in his thoughts and his dreams, I benefit, sure 'nough.  And his head is certainly in the clouds since we climbed ol Brokeback.  That stubborn and frustrating and beautiful Ennis Del Mar gives him (and me) plenty to ponder and dream on.%%

YOUNG JACK:

((When the night gets chilly enough, he crawls into the puptent, a little hesitantly. He's downright tired now.))

%% If I weren't so tired, I could try and figure out what I can do about this Ennis situation. But it's been a long day. %%

((He nestles down as best he can, sticks his hands in the pockets of YOUNG JACK'S JEANS, listens to the sound of the SHEEPHERDING DOG lying just outside, and tries to get some sleep))

(( Back at camp, at least one sheep settles in for the night with sweet dreams ...))
