Re: New 1-1 with Soph x

[Soph x]

Skyrah poked her head out of her tent aswell,
"Oh, yummy my favourite stew" said Skyrah
"What was that" said Eline looking for her blanket.
"Just that we are having stew for dinner tonight" said Skyrah
"Okay, so it isnt that important" giggled Eline.
Skyrah got into her night clothes and got her favorite blanket and sat next to Eve.

[Tiggi]

Eve laughed sweetly at a joke that Rory had just told.
'Good Evening.' She said to Skyrah, before turning back to Rory.
'Do you find me amusing?' He asked her, smirking.
'Yes, a little.' She replied, blushing.
'Is that a good thing, Princess?' He asked her, leaning in, so their faces were only a centimeter apart.
She nodded, breathing in his lush scent.
He moved away, chuckling.
'Do you find me amusing?' Eve asked, huddling her knees.
'Yes, very. Its a good thing though.' He told her. She laughed sweetly again, and for a moment, they gazed into each others eyes.

[Soph x]

Skyrah was a bit confused at the discussion next to them.
"Excuse me Eline I am going to get my jacket I feel a bit cold at the moment" said Skyrah politley.
"Oh! Sure, I put it on you sleeping bag" said Eline looking at the bushes behind the tent.
Skyrah got her jacket and saw a shadow on the edge of the tent
"Hello, is there anyone there" said Skyrah.

[Tiggi]

'How long have you been a captain?' Eve asked him.
'Half a year. Maybe less.' He said, serving some stew to her.
'I see.' Eve replied, sipping a spoonful of the stew.
They sat in silence, eating their stew. After they had finished, Isobel and Saren took their bowls and washed them at a nearby stream.
'How long have you been a Princess?' He asked, leaning in again.
'Since... well, all my life, I think, but I only found out five years ago.'
'Did you want to come on this trip?'
'Um... no, not really, I didn't know that I was going until recently. Oh...'
'What Princess? Are you sick?' Rory asked, getting up to call for one of the maidens.
'No. I'm fine, It's just... I'm going on this trip to get married. It almost slipped my mind.'
Rory looked ashamed, he got up and left for his tent.
'Wait.'

[Soph x]

Skyrah sneeked out of her tent and looked around to see if there is a someone there.
"Skyrah, are you okay" said Eline
"Yeah, just one minute" said Skyrah.
There was a russle in the bushes and Skyrah ran towards it. The russle went and Skyrah opened the twigs and leaves and saw a man with long brown hair with ripped clothes and barefooted.
"Hello?" said Skyrah
The man shaked his head and clutched his legs with his arms.

[Tiggi]

Eve shivered and pulled her blanket around her. She got up and walked into her tent, where she lay on another blanket, and fell asleep.
She woke in the early hours of the morning. Something or someone had woken her. Eve looked around the pitch black tent, seeing nothing.
'Hello?' She whispered, thinking herself foolish.
'I'm sorry, did I wake you, Princess?' Rory's soft voice came from the side of the tent.
'No, um... Why are you here?' Eve asked, sitting up.
'I came to apologize.'
'For what?'
'For ignoring you earlier. And for thinking of you in a way i shouldn't have.' She heard him shuffle around and lift the flap. 'Goodnight Princess.'
'Goodnight Captain Rory.'
She heard him chuckle, then he was gone.

[Soph x]

"Here, give me your arm and i'll help you" said Skyrah sweetly.
When the man turned around Skyrah blushed with embarresment. He had long brown hair and his eyes were pure blue and gorgeous
"Er...Thanks" The man said embarresed aswell because he just got helped up by a girl.
"Yeah, Um.. I don't have anywhere to sleep tonight do you have anywhere" he said looking around aimlessly
"Sureee" said Skyrah.
"Hey, yeah what is your name?" said the man
"Skyrah" said Skyrah
"And what is yours?" said Skyrah
"Its Otal" said Otal
"Yeah you can sleep in the tent" said Skyrah
"With you?" said Otal
"Yeah" said Skyrah

[Tiggi]

The morning came quickly. From the shadows on the tent walls, it was only around six. Saren entered the tent, followed by a couple of soldiers, carrying a steaming hot bath. Saren scowled as she helped undress Eve, and left without a single comment.
Eve found this extremely odd, but had a strengthening bath all the same. Of course none of the soldiers and maidens would have hot baths, but they should not wish for such luxuries. Eve wondered whether she should not have hot baths in the future, or perhaps they should stay at an inn.
Saren came back thirty minutes later and dressed her into a sky blue dress. This was Eve's favorite dress. It clung to her in all the right places, and showed her figure. Saren then tied her hair in a plait, and left quickly.
'Cristal?' She called at the entrance of Cristal and Eline's tent. 'Hello?'

[Soph x]

Skyrah heard something from the enterance to the tent
"No, please dont come in at the moment" said Skyrah.
"Huh, whats happening?" said Otal
"Quiet, someone is at the enterance" said Skyrah
"Erm..hello who is it?" said Skyrah

[Tiggi]

*Soz its short*

'It's Princess Eve. Um... Cristal, I really need to talk to you.' She sighed and waited for Cristal. After a moment she said, 'Cristal, I order you to come outside now.'

[Soph x]

"Just be quiet for the moment, Otal the Princess might be annoyed that you are in a tent with me so hide in the bushes behind and i'll call you when you can come" said Skyrah.
"Uh...okay" said Otal.
"Yes coming" said Skyrah to Eve.
Eline woke up right after Skyrah left the tent.
"That was a nice sleep, wasn't it Skyrah" said Eline
Eline sat up and looked around for Skyrah
"Who are you ?" said Eline.
"Who, me" said Otal
"Well, Duh there isn't anyone else here is there" said Eline
"Oh, doesn't matter about my name im probabily leaving in a minute" said Otal.

[Tiggi]

'Cristal, is there something going on?' Eve asked, peering round to see inside the tent. 'Anyway,' She said, focusing on her maiden. 'I was coming to ask, what do the other maidens think of me? And, what do you think of me? Its just that, I have hot water, lots of high quality clothes, five maidens, marriage to a prince... And all of you have none of that. In future, I promise that I will not have hot baths, except when we are at an inn.'

[Soph x]

"Err...no there isn't anything going on" said Skyrah.
"Im not sure what other madiens think of you we haven't really mentioned about it and I think you are a really good friend but we haven't caught up with anything yet" said Skyrah.
Skyrah heard screaming in the tent.
"Get out of here right now, you are lying" said Eline
Otal climbed out of the tent and ran off.
"Otal, come back" said Skyrah
"Sorry" said Otal drifting off into the back of the hedges.
Skyrah was embarresed and went into the tent and got her clothes ready

[Tiggi]

Eve sighed heavily, and turned to sit around the glowing embers of the fire. No warm baths for two months! I can do this...
'You seem... upset.' Rory placed his hands on her shoulders, and squatted down beside her.
'It's nothing.' She told him, brushing her cold cheek against his hand. 'We've only been traveling for a day, and I'm already breaking down.' Eve said, crying on his shoulder.
'It's going to be fine.' He whispered, running his hand across her hair.

[Soph x]

"Who was that?" said Eline.
"Don't know" said Skyrah.
"Why did you ask him to not go?" said Eline.
"Can you stop asking questions please" said Skyrah
"Okay" said Eline.
Skyrah went outside of her tent and saw Eve crying
"Oh, there is no point making her more angry" said Skyrah and went to look around the bushes for Otal but there was no site

[Tiggi]

Eve huddled against him, while he cradled her against his chest. She breathed in his scent - Smoke, soap, horses, cooking, and something else that she couldn't place.
This is wrong, this is so wrong. How can i be doing this, it isn't right. I'm on this journey to marry someone, and I'm falling in love with someone else. She wanted to get away from him, this feeling of pure bliss, but she couldn't. She didn't want to spoil the moment of joy and relaxation.
Eve rode by Rory for the whole day. The only times that they were apart, were when her and the maidens washed in a river upstream, and the soldiers downstream, and when they went to scout while the woman had some privacy.
Two weeks past quickly, and soon they had reached the town roads. This meant that they could all have warm baths, and soft beds. Eve had decided that until she had arrived at Sassana, she would enjoy her days with Rory. On rainy days, when the group wanted to stay in the town, Rory and Eve would look around the town, and shop for any essentials that the group needed. Eve sometimes wondered whether it had been wise to bring all her maidens. They never had long, thoughtful conversations anymore.
'Lets go somewhere.' Rory told her one morning.
'Where?'
'Anywhere, Princess' He replied, kissing her forehead.
'Why today?' Eve asked puzzled. It was a very hot, clear skied morning.
'Why not today?'
'Because its very pleasant for riding.'
'Exactly. The group can ride onward, while we take a different road.'
'Why exactly?' She said, laughing.
'I can say that I'm worried with your safety around this area, and that it would be safer to travel with just the two of us.'


Saren entered the maiden's rooms sulkily. After just dressing a very exited Princess, she was exhausted.
'What happened?' Asked Isobel.
'Is she still love sick?' Polly asked sarcastically, sighing and wooing.
The group laughed.
Lidia nodded for Saren to speak.
'Her and the Captain are riding alone on a different path. I overheard them talking. Seriously, she's supposed to be marring some stuck up prince, and instead, shes flirting with a soldier.'
'Has anyone seen them up to no good? Saren? Elise? Isobel? Skyrah?' Polly asked exitedly looking around at each of them.

[Soph x]

Skyrah gave up finding Otal and joined the other madiens and Eline
"So what are you talking about" said Skyrah.
"Oh, I want to know" said Eline.
Skyrah was not very happy with Eve so she spreaded lies about her.
"Hey, you know what, Eve actually is cheating on his fiance the Prince and i bet at the wedding someone will spread the word about that she is cheating on him, then she will never be a princess if she can't marry a prince" said Skyrah happily
"I don't think that you should be spreading stuff about the princess" said Eline
"I can do what ever I want to do" said Skyrah

[Tiggi]

'Oooh, I wonder if they've gone behind-' Polly was cut of by the Princess' high, irritating voice, and the Captain's smooth low one, coming around the corner.
'We're leaving in five minutes, and be warned, we wont be staying at an inn for a week or two.' Eve said, poking her head around the door.
'Yeah, like you care.' Saren muttered once Eve had turned the next corner. 'Off with the handsome Captain, and your finger to the prince.'
'Lets go.' Isobel sighed.

[Soph x]

Skyrah was wondering where Otal went so went to search for him around the bushes where Skyrah saw Otal first time they met.
"Otal, quickly come we are leaving" said Skyrah. She went to her tent and got her stuff ready and packed it onto a horse. When Skyrah put her belongings on her horse she heard a manly voice by Captain Rory.
"Oh, yeah, um I don't know how to put this but can I join you in your journey?" said Otal.
Skyrah was sneaking up on Otal to see what they were talking about.
"What are you doing here at this time you should be on your horse by now" said Eline
"Whose there?" said Skyrah and pulled her fist out.
"Erm...Me, Eline" said Eline.
"Oh,yes of course it is you I thought you were someone else for a second" said Skyrah.
Eline thought that Skyrah had gone crazy.

[Tiggi]

Captain Rory turned around to stare at the unkempt boy. His hair was very dirty, with bits of mud and grease covering the strands. He wore old, ripped peasant clothes, and he wore no shoes. His cheeks were deeply tanned, with a coating of dirt.
'What's your name? And, why do you wish to join our group?' He asked kindly.
Eve looked over the boy. Something about him was sinister. His blue eyes showed fear. Fear of what? Rory or something being found out?

[Soph x]

"What are you doing over there Otal" said Skyrah.
"Ohh, Just talking to these people to see if it can join you" said Otal

[Tiggi]

Rory sighed in impatience. 'Your name?' He asked again, taking Eve's hand and drawing it close to him.
'Captain!' A soldier called. 'Bandits have entered the northern gate of the town. What are your orders?'
Rory released Eve's hand, and whispered to her,' Stay here with your maidens. If the bandits reach you, jump on the nearest horse and ride towards the capital.' He then ran to the soldiers, instructing them to make the bandits scatter, leaving them an exit. The soldiers mounted, with Rory at the lead, and rode towards the thieves.

'Who are you?!' Eve asked the boy who had asked to join their group, a hint of authority in her voice.

[Soph x]

"What's happening?" said Otal
"Otal come quick" said Skyrah
"Oh, yes my name is O t a l" said Otal drifting off with Skyrah.

[Tiggi]

Eve never had time to run after Cristal and Otal. The only thing she did have time for was a deep intake of breath.
'Gotcha!' Someone said, clamping a hand around her jaw before she could do anything. Someone else behind her tied her hands up, and they dragged her away in the dark. There was no one left in the square who could have seen anything.

[Soph x]

Skyrah and Otal were ready to leave but they heard a very faint scream behind her.
"Can you hear that?" said Skyrah to Otal.
"Err... What" said Otal like he had something to do with it.
