[attr="class","textieno"]He could have figured that but he was trying to be nice about the whole thing. After all it was his fault she was here in the first place. Head bobbed a little as he listen to what it was she liked. ”Okay. We can get you some.” he said. The least he could do was make the abandoned place much more comfortable for her and then maybe ---… no. He breathed through his nose causing a small sting. Yeah getting kicked in the face probably made him look a little terrible but he wasn’t overly concerned about it. To be honest he had worse things done to him. He had probably also done worse things to some of the girls he guarded.[break]
She continued on about books and how she hoped Ives would let her continue her training and this and the other. He didn’t know who Ives was or what even training had to be done to even care for books. It seemed a little odd to him but whatever. At her question of him liking a book he gave her a small expression. He never had time to sit down to read not that he didn’t know how but he wouldn’t profess that he was very good at it. He didn’t read with a smooth voice and some big words could catch him up on reading. ”I don’t really remember the last time I read one.” he admitted. ”So I suppose that means I don’t have one.” He looked down at her wondering if disappointment would play on her face. He didn’t really like disappointing Larkin. He didn’t know what it was but her disappointment was almost harmful.[break]
He could feel her continue to look his face over and he wondered just how bad the bruising really was. The only thing that bled as far as he was aware of was his nose but who knows what else was actually wrong. Her voice was soft when she spoke up again and he nodded slowly. ”My head is a little fuzzy but I believe I am okay.” lifting her hand up and turning it over to where the back of her hand faced him, he kissed it. His blue eyes locked on to hers for a moment to ensure what he was saying was true. His head did feel a bit muddy, his thought process hard to keep in a straight line but he was managing better than he was earlier. ”I’m not really dressed for swimming and neither are you.” he said. ”Or is it you just wanna see me naked?” he teased her softly snickering. ”Aside that I’m not sure where one is close by. Have you seen any?” though he wasn’t sure she actually wandered that far from the house but who knows. Maybe she did.

[attr="class","textieno"]Her stammering and blushing got him to grin even brighter. How cute. Her cheeks immediately flustered and she was trying to hide the embarrassment that quickly flooded her. The emotion was so genuine he actually appreciated it and for a small moment nothing in the world seemed bad. Only for a moment. She continued on to saying she wasn’t very elf-like because of her lack of adventurous spirit and that she was only trying to help his head. ”You don’t?” he asked curiously. ”well that is all the more reason to teach you how!” he said nodding his head. ”I could teach you. Albeit I am no champion swimmer but if you learn the basics of floating and moving you will be fine. Rest comes with practice.” this actually kind of made him eager about it. It was harmless and more than likely fun. Of course if she wanted to learn that is.[break]
Before he could ask her if she was interested in learning he was quickly left blinking when her thought completely changed and she was now bouncing in front of him grabbing both of his hands and asked about strawberry tea. His brows rose as he was trying to catch up with where her mind landed her. ”I…don’t… know?” it took him a moment to gather that she was likely back to talking about the town. ”Im sure we could probably make some though if not?” he shrugged. ”Whats the difference put strawberries in tea.” To him it sounded disgusting but most tea and most fruit were disgusting. He liked his meat…. Thanks to the wolf. She seemed saddened when she spoke about her brother though and it caused him to frown. She must really hold a big place in her heart for him. It was sweet. Though she asked for a letter and he really didn’t want to tell her no but he knew the damage that could be done if she did. ”Im sorry…” he said quietly. She then lifted up and pressed her soft lips into his own barely giving him time to react before she was pulling away and now walking with him at his side. ”I wish you could…. But I don’t think it’s safe. Someone could see it or it gets intercepted before reaching him and you could be in danger of being found.” blue eyes avoided looking at her though keeping them on the trail straight ahead. ”You will be reunited with him soon though. I am sure. Just have to give me a little bit of time.”
