Re: Her Sheltered Life

"It didn't lie." I closed my eyes and rested my head on hers, "If your heart lied then my heart lied too... I think we both have honest hearts." I rubbed her back gently.

**Jayrin** Tue Apr 12, 2011 1:01 am

I hugged him tight and closed my eyes. "I love you, Zephyr. I really love you."

**Ikuar** Tue Apr 12, 2011 1:02 am

"I love you too." I held her as close to me as I could and smiled, she was becoming my world... my fussy, pink thing.

**Jayrin** Tue Apr 12, 2011 1:05 am

I buried my face in his shirt. I felt safe like this. Like no one could ever get to me or try to harm me as long as I was in his arms. I was safe with Zephyr. I felt safe with Zephyr. I loved him and I didn't want to even have to try to love anyone else!

"How are we going to make this work?" I asked softly. "I didn't plan that far ahead."

**Ikuar** Tue Apr 12, 2011 1:08 am

"We can make it work... somehow, we'll just hold aside special times just for us!" I suggested, "Maybe we can spend more time in the thicker part of the garden?"

**Jayrin** Tue Apr 12, 2011 1:11 am

I nodded. "O-Okay. That sounds good. I-I like the thicker gardens anyway. The flowers are prettier there." I said softly. "C-Can I have another kiss?"

**Ikuar** Tue Apr 12, 2011 1:14 am

"Yeah." I bent over and kissed her full on the lips and held her close.

**Jayrin** Tue Apr 12, 2011 1:23 am

I lifted my arms up and wrapped them both around his neck, closing my eyes tight and kissing him back with all the love I could possibly give. I loved my Zephyr. My guard, my companion, my best friend... my everything. I loved him more than a King loved his country. A rich man his riches, and dog his kind master. I loved my Zephyr more than that. "Don't let me doubt you again. It's too painful. Slap me if you have to just... don't let me think that way again! I-I hate it."

**Ikuar** Tue Apr 12, 2011 10:13 am

"I could never slap you, just let me kiss you instead?" I liked kisses better and they weren't painful or violent.

**Jayrin** Tue Apr 12, 2011 10:16 am

"Hmm.... I guess that could work..." I smiled up at him. I couldn't adequately express how much I loved him and it was frustrating... but I'm sure he knew already. "Yes, I think a kiss would be fine."

**Ikuar** Tue Apr 12, 2011 10:20 am

"Good." I grabbed another napkin and held it to my nose, I wasn't feeling well, not my best. I normally had days off but I hadn't expected to feel this way. "By the way... what did Dad say to you?"

**Jayrin** Tue Apr 12, 2011 10:22 am

"Oh, uh... something about how he thought I would get along well with your mother because we're a lot alike." I said, my brows furrowed as I tried to remember. "I wish I could have met her."

**Ikuar** Tue Apr 12, 2011 10:24 am

My ears perked up again, "Ooha... yeah. You are a lot like her actually, from what I remember of her anyway. I was six when she died, wow... t-twenty years..." My vision went black for a brief second and then everything was back full color. "It's been a long time."

**Jayrin** Tue Apr 12, 2011 10:28 am

"Was she pretty? They way you two talk about her... I imagine her as really beautiful, and kind and genuine. You really loved your mom, didn't you?" I asked, looking up at him. I noticed I was still in his arms and I smiled. I liked being in his arms.

**Ikuar** Tue Apr 12, 2011 10:32 am

I moved a bit so she could see me better, "I"m a spitting image, Dad's hair is more brown and his eyes are green." I had white blond hair and gray eyes, I took after Mom's gene more than Dad's. My nose was slightly freckled because of my pale skin and my brows were a darker blond than my hair.

"Mom... she had really long hair, normally she kept it braided because it went down to her knees. Her eyes were bigger than mine, she liked to dance... and garden." I grinned, "When they celebrated events around the castle square she always coordinated the flowers and decorations and at night she would dance with Dad... that's how they met."

**Jayrin** Tue Apr 12, 2011 10:37 am

I smiled happily and reached up to feel of his ears while he told me the story. They were so soft! "Wow... she sounds amazing!" I said in awe. "T-Tell me more!"

**Ikuar** Tue Apr 12, 2011 10:40 am

"Oh... ah... about how they met?" I asked curiously. I'd heard the story several times, Dad seemed fairly proud of it, or maybe it was just that he was stuck in the memory and if he was... he could keep Mom forever.

**Jayrin** Tue Apr 12, 2011 10:45 am

"Anything! You know everything there is to know about me... now it's my turn to know about you!" I said with a big grin. I was still feeling of his ears. They were so soft that it was addicting! >.<

**Ikuar** Tue Apr 12, 2011 10:49 am

"Me..." I chuckled softly, "I was born during the winter... there was a storm and our house was buried. They didn't think I'd live because of the cold conditions and our race... well normally newborns of our race can't handle the cold, it was hard to keep me warm..." I was trying not to shake my head rapidly when she touched my ears, there was something about her touching my ears that tickled.

"But I didn't get sick and grew up not far from here... Dad was already head of the guard by then and Mom was one of the best castle event planners, gardener..." I shrugged, "I was that little tyke that stood around and stared at walls or pictures... I didn't really do anything but stare at stuff."

**Jayrin** Tue Apr 12, 2011 10:53 am

I giggled at him. "I can picture you doing that..." I let go of his ear, only to have the urge to touch them again come back, full force! "What else about you? I want to know!"

**Ikuar** Tue Apr 12, 2011 10:57 am

"Y-You can picture that?!" I felt a little flustered all of a sudden, "Ah... well when Mom died... Dad started taking me to work with him more which wasn't as safe as it had been for Mom to take me to the gardens each day. He was invited to see the new baby princess... you were born maybe a week later..." I smiled, "So we went to see you and I continued my staring habit and tried to comprehend what you were exactly. I didn't see you anymore after that because Dad retired to take care of me and do a quieter job around the castle since your parents didn't really want him to go. After that I started to lash out a bit when I realized Mom wasn't coming back."

**Jayrin** Tue Apr 12, 2011 11:02 am

I smiled and hugged him. "That is one thing I can't picture. You lashing out over anything. You're always so calm and collected..." I reached up and felt of his ears again. I couldn't resist! >.<

**Ikuar** Tue Apr 12, 2011 11:05 am

"Dad says it's the guard training I did because before I worked at the castle I was pretty temperamental. It was hard to talk to me and I got into fights a lot... when I turned nineteen I started training and it really helped me to lash out in a way that was more... organized? People never knew if I was lashing at training, we sparred all the time. They called me a serious one."

I pulled the napkin away from my nose, this was bad. "Um... eventually they made me a prison guard and I was really shaky all the time, mostly because I always wanted to spar so I could relax. I can't remember how I ended up here..."

**Jayrin** Tue Apr 12, 2011 11:08 am

I let go again and couldn't keep that urge from coming back! >.<

"Is your nose still bleeding?" I asked, looking up at him. "Maybe we should go inside..."

**Ikuar** Tue Apr 12, 2011 11:11 am

"No, it's not." I sniffled a little bit and smiled, "I'm fine, it's really nothing... if you want to go inside we can but we don't have to, it's a beautiful day."
