  1. "Uh... I can go now. Iffin' you need me to."
  2. "'Ello." He smiled down at her. "Feel better now that it's a little further away?"
  3. Nico didn’t typically dress himself up, but tonight was a special occasion. It was not often, after all, that one got to see their childhood crush/would-be-boyfriend. Despite not feeling the same way about Fischer as he had five years ago, there was left over in Nico’s heart just enough pressure to drive him to brush his hair and put on something other than his uniform or some sweaty peasant’s attire. Luckily enough for him, he managed to find a suit in the closet with minimal wrinkles that actually fit well enough. He looked over himself in the mirror - surprised at how nice he looked - then ran down to his and Fischer’s meeting spot.
  4. "Why would I? You're the best thing in my life. Now. How about some dinner?"
  5. 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."
  6. "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."
  7. And Nico hummed again, rubbing her back lovingly. "Because no one else could possibly want me."
  8. "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." "Of course. I'll be here when you wakes."
  9. "'Course, miss." He took her hand and squeezed it. "How's about you try and drift off to sleep, okay?" "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."
  10. "Yes, 'am. They's in bed." Riva paused. "That... that's what this is about? Caden... Stars curse it, I'm immortal."
  11. Nico's stomach sank a bit. "You're... you's a good friend, Wendy," he said, biting his lip. "Then what!" She poked a finger at his chest. "What do you mean, you stupid old man?"
  12. "Not strong enough to love me? You were clearly strong enough this morning," she said with a glare.
  13. Riva recalled some of the things Caden had mumbled in his sobs the night previous. "What, you-you're not strong enough to love me? You..." She growled. "Caden, grow up! You're not any less of a man to love me!"
  14. "Okay." He kissed her forehead lightly. "I'll stay by your side, miss Wendy." Riva stopped in her tracks. "What? Why not? You clearly love me, an-and I love you too, otherwise we wouldn't have..." A smile spread across her face at the thought of this morning, a smile she quickly buried deep within her. Stupid, stupid man. She wouldn't let him do this, not after she'd given everything to him. "You're just going to make love to me and then break everything off?"
  15. "Can't cry in my presence? Can't sleep on top of me?" She chuckled. "Definitely don't do that one, please."
  16. Nicolae only clutched her close, humming a tune to try and calm her, doing exactly what he would have wanted someone to do for him when Allivia had first assaulted him. "I'll stay with you all night," he whispered in her ear, "iffin' you want me to."
  17. Nico shushed her. "It's alright, now, Wendy. You're safe, I's wit' cha." "Well of course it won't! First you've got to spit out what words you're chewing on!" She chuckled.
  18. "I don't understand, Caden, go through what?" She started walking with him. "Here, we'll get some food in you, you'll feel better then, I promise."
  19. Nico sat down next to her and grabbed her in a bear hug. "I'm a-here for ya, miss." "Can't do what, darling?" She stared up at him with compassion.
  20. "Oh? Well, what's the matter, dearest?" She tried to come in closer on his side, take his arm.
  21. "Well it is! Actually it's a little late, but no matter." She moved to kiss him. ------ Nico didn't take the news well. He was still shaking when he got to Wendy's side. "Wendy!"
