  1. "Wife?" Caden raised his eyebrow, unaffected by the punch. "The last thing I want is a 'picture perfect little' wife. Don't tell me you want the 'picture perfect' husband."
  2. "You're the Raveness," Caden said, unable to think of anything else. "Don't tell me you forced me to love you just before you got soft."
  3. Caden furrowed his brow, "what exactly does that mean?" ----- Fischer thought he might have heard Nico calling after him, but that only caused him to run. He trembled at the thought of what he say to him in anger, feeling bad enough as it was.
  4. "I know you can handle yourself," Caden corrected himself quickly. "It's that he had a way with people." --------- Fischer threw open the door to the eating house, gritting his teeth as he tried to fight the Star's cursed tears. Everything was meant to be be alright now, why the blazes did it all have to go wrong?! He wanted to run and hide, but he only knew one place he could go to find protection, even if he would likely receive scorn for the tears that dripped off of his chin. But there was nowhere else to go.
  5. Caden chuckled softly deep within his chest, "I don't think I'd wish that fate on even him." ----- Fischer stopped, trembling as a tear attempted to escape his eye. He tried to blink it away, "just- just stop. I can't . . ." He wiped his face and tried to continue out the door.
  6. Caden only nodded, uncomfortable with the subject. ----- "No!" Fischer shouted, "I need- I can't do that." He turned to leave, stomping away from Nico.
  7. "I inherited it from my father," Caden said in a matter of fact tone. ----- "What about me?! I promised you that I would rather die than let anything happen to the two of us!" His breathing became shallow, "was I the only one who felt that way?"
  8. Caden nodded, leaning back. "I can stop any number of them; live live in a castle, after all." -------- "I've faced death, and for years I wanted nothing but to curse the King for sending me there!" Fischer had flung up his hands, turning away from Nico as his rage caused his heart to pound in his head.
  9. Caden rubbed her back slowly, trying to think of something comforting to speak, but ultimately failing. ----- "I thought-," He slammed his hands on the table, "do you know what I went through!"
  10. "He wouldn't do that. Title or not, you are the Raveness." ----- "But I-" Fischer's hands began to trembled, "you said that . . . It was you?"
  11. "They aren't here now, right?" Caden placed a hesitant hand on her shoulder, "it's just us two." ----- "Wait," Fischer froze, "what?"
  12. Caden's brow furrowed in confusion, "who?" ----- "Stars above, what's wrong?" He asked as he moved to stand up.
  13. Caden sighed, rubbing his eyes with one hand to try and remove the exhaustion. "What should I do, then?" Fischer coughed, a bit of the soup caught in his throat. "Uh, yeah?"
  14. "Depends, how bad was it?" ----- "Ya don' look alrigh' ta me," Fischer said as he looked up between bites. "I remember ya bein' be'er a' ea'ing than this."
  15. "Oh," Caden leaned back into the bed, looking exhausted. "Is that all? ----- Fischer began to eat the soup with previously unknown gusto.
  16. Caden shot up, his hand darting towards the blade that lay beside his bed. In the blink of an eye, he was sitting up and moving to leap from the bed before catching himself. "What?" He whispered quickly. "Are ya feelin' alrigh', pal?"
  17. "Oh, don' worry 'bout i' none. There's nothing ya coulda done 'bout it, bu' I know ya would 'ave done something if ya could 'ave."
  18. Fischer stopped, looking as if he was about to go into a story. "'bout wha'?"
  19. "Well, after the king 'imself sen' me ta the army, I got launched righ' out of basic trainin' inta the field. Vem commanders really wan'ed me ta ge' experience or somefing."
  20. "Yeah, it's been soundin' like a mess ta me." He shifted in his chair, "jus' a bunch of stuff abou' bribery an' wha'no'. Although the palace guard's really gotten us screwed up."
  21. "Same for me," Fischer added on. He turned back to Nico, "I heard tha' there's been a lotta trouble wif the castle staff. Any of tha' come up?"
  22. "Must'a been," Fischer sat down, trying and failing to look like he was lounging. "Glad I missed tha', ven."
  23. "Ah," Fischer nodded, "oi've heard of his temper being fierce, bu' he's normally good a' keepin' it 'round us."
