The Ward's Guard he/him Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 "No! I mean, that's not what I meant."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 29, 2021 Author Posted July 29, 2021 Just now, Channelknight Fadran said: "I love you." She whispered. Nico's stomach sank a bit. "You're... you's a good friend, Wendy," he said, biting his lip. Just now, The Ward's Guard said: "No! I mean, that's not what I meant." "Then what!" She poked a finger at his chest. "What do you mean, you stupid old man?"
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Just now, Zephrun's Imperium said: "Then what!" She poked a finger at his chest. "What do you mean, you stupid old man?" Caden grabbed her shoulders, his arms trembling. "I can't loose someone else!"
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 29, 2021 Author Posted July 29, 2021 Just now, Channelknight Fadran said: "Katie and Ara. Are they okay?" "Yes, 'am. They's in bed." Just now, The Ward's Guard said: Caden grabbed her shoulders, his arms trembling. "I can't loose someone else!" Riva paused. "That... that's what this is about? Caden... Stars curse it, I'm immortal."
Channelknight Fadran Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Just now, Zephrun's Imperium said: "Yes, 'am. They's in bed." A warped chuckle escaped her mouth. "No they aren't. But thank you."
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Just now, Zephrun's Imperium said: Riva paused. "That... that's what this is about? Caden... Stars curse it, I'm immortal." Caden lowered his head refusing to meet her eyes, "I can't loose someone again, I'm not strong enough for that. You say you're immortal, but . . ."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 29, 2021 Author Posted July 29, 2021 Just now, Channelknight Fadran said: A warped chuckle escaped her mouth. "No they aren't. But thank you." "'Course, miss." He took her hand and squeezed it. "How's about you try and drift off to sleep, okay?" 2 minutes ago, The Ward's Guard said: Caden lowered his head refusing to meet her eyes, "I can't loose someone again, I'm not strong enough for that. You say you're immortal, but . . ." "Well, I am immortal! Age won't kill me and assassins won't either; I've survived my fair share of them. Not to mention I have you to protect me inside this fortress."

Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 29, 2021 Author Posted July 29, 2021 Just now, The Ward's Guard said: "The world will steal you away, it always does." "Living in fear of that is no way to live at all." Riva kissed him deeply. "My darling, life is for enjoying what is, not for worrying over every little thing that could be." Just now, Channelknight Fadran said: "You'll stay here?" "Of course. I'll be here when you wakes."
Channelknight Fadran Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Wendy shifted her weight and left her head on Nicolae's shoulder, falling asleep against it like Arabella had on her weeks ago.

"My darling, life is for enjoying what is, not for worrying over every little thing that could be." He nodded, but his gut wasn't settled. "How can you still want me, even after all . . . all that I did."

And Nico hummed again, rubbing her back lovingly. 2 minutes ago, The Ward's Guard said: He nodded, but his gut wasn't settled. "How can you still want me, even after all . . . all that I did." "Because no one else could possibly want me."
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 5 minutes ago, Zephrun's Imperium said: "Because no one else could possibly want me." Caden chuckled softly, "that's reason enough, apparently."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 29, 2021 Author Posted July 29, 2021 "I... Caden, yesterday the king arrested me and had me sent to the dungeons. He fired me. And the guards... they... they hurt me. A lot. Said terrible things. When I got home and tried to kill you, you were so gentle. It was so different than I'd been treated just hours ago. I decided I couldn't live without your warmth."
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 "Without my . . . warmth?" Caden held his arms open, "I- I needed your warmth last night," he admitted.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 29, 2021 Author Posted July 29, 2021 Riva hugged him. "I know you did. And I gave it best I could. Caden, please stay with me. Don't be so afraid of losing me that you... lose me."
Channelknight Fadran Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Quote Katie's 'in bed,' Wendy's asleep, Louis probably gave Nicolae some tea... that leaves Ivian. Finally. That infernal party was over. Ivian thanked everyone for coming before stalking back to his room. Ever since those two children had run up to him and asked for--what was it, juice?--he hadn't seen Nicolae. That was fine. As his mother liked to say, Ivian was 'a big boy now.' He could take care of himself. Still... he felt more helpless tonight than he had been in the past while. It's fine. He thought to himself, taking off his fancy overcoat and unbuttoning his shirt a ways. When all's said and done, it didn't really matter in the first place. First bring the kingdom together; then worry about the rest.
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) He wrapped his arms around her shoulders, taking her in for what felt like the first time. He placed his face on her shoulder, "I don't want to lose you. I keep thinking that it would be better if I did, but . . ." He shuddered slightly, but nowhere near as bad as the night before. "Don't go . . ." Edited July 29, 2021 by The Ward's Guard 1

Channelknight Fadran Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Quote Kay, I get that it's a tender moment, but... It's spelled lose, Guard, not loose. 2

Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 29, 2021 Author Posted July 29, 2021 Quote To be fair, loosing Riva is pretty scary too.
