The Broken Knight

She never really took any moment with him for granted, but now every moment felt even more previous. They had been far too close to never being able to share these kisses again or whisper these sweet words to each other and now every little thing felt special. Every hardship or challenge they went though made her more and more cognizant of that and cherish him even more. She appreciated that he could understand what she was trying to say even though she wasn't entirely sure how to say it. She always felt that actions spoke louder than words anyway and if it wasn't for the fact that his body and muscles were still recovering from everything he had been put through she probably would have shown him her love in other ways, but she could wait. The anticipation would only make it even more sweet anyway.

When he brought up her parents and the concern that her father might freak out thinking that she ran away to get laid she scoffed and gave a little shake of her head. "No, Willow came looking for me and I asked her to take a message to Lia to tell them that I was here helping take care of you. Now if my father wants to be his usual irrational self and assume things from that he can be my guest, but I'd like for him to try to come pull me away from you right now." She chuckled softly, keeping a light hearted demeanor about it even though in reality her patience with her parents was incredibly thin. More and more she was beginning to think Asla had the right idea about getting out of the Armada. His reaction to catching them, telling her that she wasn't old enough still rubbed her the wrong way. There also had been none of the diplomatic training or visits that her father had promised that day - the only reason she had kept herself civil that day at all.

She sighed and brushed the thought away, giving Artorias a smile as she teasingly tapped her nose against his, giving him a sly grin. "Well... Maybe I didn't come here to get laid, but I'm definitely not leaving until I do," she promised with a giggle, her tail brushing along his hip again and entwining with his. She wouldn't do anything that would make his condition worse, but once he was well for them to enjoy each other without straining him then she was going to take full advantage of that before she forced herself to go back. She was about to tease him more when the irritated voice of Gwynevere called to them from the landing outside the castle doors and she flinched a little bit, giving Art a guilty grin. "Oh no, we've been caught," she said with a chuckle. She untangled herself from him and started helping him to his paws so they could answer his sister's beaconing, but not before she snuck another quick kiss.
