Not Exactly "Glamping"

Ike looked up at Remus like her mother wasn’t already on her way, knowing that she could have her little visits with him every day now was a fact that made her stomach roil in nerves. The young princess wore a grin as much as a blush that touched her pale cheek in pink undertones. She could very nearly see the nerves rising in Remus as well, but there was no reason to feel these heightened emotions. Remus was you and capable, everything Ashen needed. Everything she needed.

Shuriken wasn’t allowed to dwell on that astounding thought as her mother’s form appeared from the shade of the alabastrine trees. Like instinct Ike sat a little taller, and lost the care free grin Remus put on her features as she tried to show reverence for her empress mother. She gave a nod of her own head in returned greeting as the matriarch’s gaze shifted from Ike’s thin frame to Remus himself.

Before Ike could introduce her friend Remus was already speaking for himself. He introduced himself and asked for a place within Ashen’s borders before he looked ot her for reassurance. Something Ike hadn’t ever anticipated happening. He was the one that gave her confidence, upheld her in a dire situation, brought her peace of mind. But how did she explain all of that to her mother? For a moment Ike’s mouth hung open as she tried to follow up Remus’ plea.

Now that the moment was here she clammed up, and instead of saying anything Ike nodded her head alone, hoping Venom would understand without words.
