A new beginning

Dirt wasn't exactly how he'd planned his first night betrothed to Epiphron, but he supposed they could get cleaned up once they were through. A cold dip in the water would be a welcome relief from hard work, and it would also give them plenty of excuse for being close once they were clean. Ah yes, he rather liked the idea of that. He only hoped that a quick bath wouldn't totally wash away that glorious scent she was putting off. They dug for a while in silence. Not the awkward kind of silence that nagged at you, but the comfortable kind that allowed you to think about life and the future. This was exactly what he did - though none of his thoughts were particularly easy to follow or precise. His mind flitted back to the work as he noticed how much difference they were making. With just a bit more work they would be able to fit into the den. It would be a bit tight, but they could always dig more tomorrow and make it more comfortable. It would be then that she would state one of her hopes and dreams. Maverick tilted his head toward her. "They will love you just as I do. I have heard them talking, they are eager to meet you." it was true, he had heard whispers of their eagerness for a new princess. They had not had once thus far and probably wanted to see what it would be like to have a prince and his bride as second in command of Seracia. He hoped that might quell any fears she had - though he knew that she would forever be nervous until the day came when she became an official Seracian. "I think this will work for tonight. Should we get cleaned up and then call it a night?" Of course, he was somewhat assuming that she would stay with him instead of returning to Valhalla. What if she chose to go back home? "speeeeech" |
