    “Oh.” She looked away, still thoroughly annoyed that he wouldn’t care if she died. “Yes, that….. that could work.” After a short pause, she asked, “You…. You wouldn’t have me killed, would you?” ———— Nicolae hugged the other man, picked him up and spun him around, setting him back down gently. It felt good. He didn’t have many people to hug.

    "Yes, of course, I just..." Riva pouted. "Oh, never mind. It's fine, I wouldn't want to share a bed with a man who doesn't care if I live or die anyway..." -------- Nico felt his face warm up with a deep blush. "Thank you." After so long being verbally put down, hearing a compliment like that was touching. Nico felt himself start crying, but quickly blinked, keeping the tears away. "Really, thank you. Needed to be hearin' that today. Mm. Does I get a hug?"
  3. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "We're... really not sharing tonight?" she asked. ------ "Oh, I could never! I ain't no fighter like you. I'd be bowled right over, I would. May be tall, but I ain't got no muscle on me, not one bit. 'sides, Iv'an wants me with 'im. I'm still his manservant. An'... I enjoy it. Good, honest work. Stars, I think I'd lose it iffin' I took a life. Coulda live with myself." He paused. "B-but I-I has great respect for you. Keepin' us safe, you are, nuttin' wrong with that. You knows I doesn't have the stomach for it. Otherwise..." He paused and looked into Fischer's eyes. "You know I'd a-gone with ya."

    "As if I would die before you do." She tossed her hair. "What an arrogant assumption." -------- Nico shrugged, glad to hear his old companion speak more familiarly. "True enough, but I grew up speakin' this a-way an' I doesn't intend to be stoppin'. It's me. An'... by the Stars, it's you. I really never thought I'd see you again. When you left..." Well. They both knew what had happened when Fischer had left.

    She rolled her eyes. "Caden, I am immortal. A century old. I've survived more assassination attempts than you have, certainly." ----- "Well, it's crazy to see you like this, friend. And my Stars, you talk fancy too." Nicolae laughed nervously.

    Riva went pale, her expression wilting. "Oh..." she said quietly. "So... I really mean nothing to you?" ------------ "Yeah..." Nico felt himself smile. "Uh... I'm servin' the queen now, I am. Iv'an entrusted me with 'er. What... what duties does you have?"

    “Well, how would you feel if I died? You said before I bring light and warmth to your life.” She paused “I joked earlier. But I don’t want you dead. Not at all.” ———— Nicolae scratched his head. “H-how long has it been?”
  8. Zephrun’s Imperium
    “They hate me. Everyone hates me, they’re just too scared to kill me. Otherwise they would. I know because people have tried. And now they’re dead.” ———— “Yeah, I guess so.” He blushed. “You…. You look nice.”
  9. Zephrun’s Imperium
    “because you’re my husband,” she said. She smiled and winked ———— “Ah. Yeah, I was there when it ‘appened.” Nico bit his lip, unsure if he should mention their previous meeting. “Was scary it was.” He chuckled. “But look at you. You’s all buff now.”

    “Protecting me,” Riva said immediately. ———— Nico just stared at him for a moment. It was very odd to see him. The last time they’d been together, things had…. Well, Nico wasn’t sure how to feel about Fischer anymore. A few years ago, he would have been more elated to see him but now… “when did you get to the palace?”
  11. Zephrun’s Imperium
    She sighed. “Your loss, Caden. You must feel much better now though.” Riva batted her eyelashes. “It’s my wifely duty.” ———— “Well, ‘course. What else would I do? King pays me good, he does.” He bit his lip, shifting nervously. “I thought we’d never see each other again, Fischer.”
  12. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Riva scoffed. “Wait! I still have to crack your neck!” ————- “stars above, I hasn’t seen you since…” Memories. “You’s wearing the Praetorium emblem. That mean you’re workin’ for the general?”
  13. Zephrun’s Imperium
    “Oh, come now, Caden, you like it!” She chuckled and there was another snap. ——— As Fischer stepped into the light, Nico paled. “My Stars. Fischer???”
  14. Zephrun’s Imperium
    “As long as you want me to, baby. Or as long as it takes to get all these kinks out…” She rubbed his neck with her wrinkly, bony fingers. “This tension isn’t good for you.” Nico turned around. “Uh, yessiree. Just takin’ a stroll. Did I wander somewhere I shouldna?”
  15. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Nicolae nodded timidly and bowed. "As you wish, miss. I... I'm gonna go... get some fresh air. Send someone to get me iffin' you needs me for anythin'." With that, he walked out of the room. It felt good to be roaming the halls. Felt free. Alienor's chambers were large, but he'd started to feel as though he was being suffocated. He didn't like talking about Allivia with anyone. And now Alienor knew... Stars, it just made him feel sick. He needed something to go right for once. Was that too much to ask?
  16. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "Well, you shouldna." He straightened his posture and sniffed. "Anythin' else I can be doin' for ya, miss?"
  17. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "Yes, but I doesn't matter, miss." His gaze hardened. "I really doesn't."
  18. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "Doesn't mean I knows what you should do..." Nico picked at his fingers nervously. "Girls, you really shouldna be involved. You'll get hurt."
  19. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "Well, you tell me; I've been trying to 'do something' for the last eight years, miss."
  20. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "Last time I cried in front of him..." Nico sniffed. "He said I'd end up a prostitute."
  21. Zephrun’s Imperium
    “No!” Nico quickly stood up. “He wouldna believe me! And he’d…. He’d hate me for being a wuss.”
  22. Zephrun’s Imperium
    “I just…..” Nico trailed off. “I’m afraid for my life.” “How long do you want me to do it?” She smirked. “You like it, don’t you, Caden?”
  23. Zephrun’s Imperium
    “Well, good.” She tsked. “it’s got to be that awful posture of yours that does it to you. Your back is tighter than that of even the terrified patients I work on. It must cause you so much pain, you poor thing.”
  24. Zephrun’s Imperium
    “Awww, yes.” She continued to rub and another few cracks emanated. “My Stars, man. Don’t you stretch before you work out?”
  25. Zephrun’s Imperium
    “Well, don’t you feel better now? That was a massive release of tension, you’ve got to be feeling miles above what you were seconds ago.”
