After the happiness of the wedding time seemed to fly with gleeful conversation as Leyna and I took a quick trip to pick up Shylah, who should have been healed by now, or at least well enough to ride in a carriage. Having her companion at home would make my love happier, I knew that- and, truth be told, I missed her as well.

"Do you want to go back home tonight or do you want to stay at the estate for the night?" I asked Nic, leaning against him in the carriage.

Smiling softly I stroked her hair. "It's a bit late to be traveling back, and I'm sure we'll both fall asleep on the ride, but I think home is nice," I told her. "Besides, it'll give Shylah a night's sleep back home to re-adjust and, hopefully, settle down."

"Alright," I said, smiling as he caressed my hair. I had been hoping a bit that he'd want to stay. My parents were off visiting friends, but we would come back another time.

I'd grown a bit authoritative for a moment and immediately wondered if it was the right thing to do. "Or do you think she'd settle better after a day's running if we return tomorrow?"

"I don't think she's up to much running at all," I replied, smiling up at him. "I think she'll just be happy to see us."

"Well, mostly happy to see you," I assured her, eyes flashing. "After all, I'm only the one who takes up her bed space."

I laughed and poked him in the side playfully.
"You know that's not true, she loves you too," I told him. "She's even quit slobbering all over your shoes."

"That's true," I replied, poking her lightly in reply. "For which I am undoubtedly grateful. It certainly saves on how much I spend for new boots."

"See, she does love you," I said, laughing and arching away from his poking.

"Si, and so do you," I teased, stopping the playful bout to shift and lay a light kiss on her lips. "And I adore the both of you- though you more, by leaps and bounds. Just don't tell her that, or the drooling may start again."

"Ooo, something to hold over your head and get you to do what I want," I teased, grinning. "Kiss me again or I'll tell Shylah."

Smiling, I hummed in agreement and pressed my lips back to hers, a little more firmly than before but just as playful. Still, it was an invitation, to deepen it if she'd like.

Shifting, I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him passionately.
"Alright," I whispered against his lips, smiling. "I won't tell."

"I'm terribly glad to hear that," I replied lowly before kissing her in return, pushing her hair behind her ears. "I hate being in trouble."

"You're such a good boy, I can't believe you would even know what being in trouble felt like," I said, chuckling.

"Oh, don't I know what trouble is? After all, I'm willing to wed you," I teased, kissing the tip of her nose.

"Hey!" I exclaimed, laughing and poking him in the ribs again. "I'm not trouble!"

"You could have fooled me," I replied gently grabbing her hands and tickling her ribs for a bare moment before releasing her again.

I squealed with surprise and laughter, shooting across to the other bench when he released me.
"You're the one who's trouble," I exclaimed breathlessly.

"Yes, that's true as well," I agreed with an evil grin as I followed her across the moving carriage. "Aren't you lucky in that regard?"

"Lucky?' I echoed with a laugh as I said just out of his reach by moving back to our original seat. "That's not quite what I was thinking."

"If that's the way you want to be then the wedding's off," I joked as I relaxed where I was, eyes flashing and grin wide. "Then you'll really be lucky."

"Don't say that, even jokingly, unless you really mean it," I told him, sobering and looking down at my hands. I was better than I had been, but I was still scared he would find someone he wanted to be with more than me.

Immediately I sobered, sighing. "I'm sorry," I said simply, not understanding this sudden change in demeanor and mood. I'd given every sign I was joking, just as I had before- but women had their insecurities, I suppose. "I didn't mean to upset you."

"I know," I said, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear and looking up at him. "I didn't think you did. I just don't like tempting fate. Something gets said enough and it may come true."
I knew he didn't understand, but it didn't make it go away. I wasn't constantly worried like I had been before, but the fear was still there.

"Then I won't say it again, because it would distress me if such a thing came to be," I replied, stroking her cheek lightly as I let my eyes and voice show my sincerity.

I melted slightly, feeling a bit silly for my fear.
"I know, I'm sorry for being so sensitive," I said, leaning into his touch.

"It's alright, and it's your prerogative," I told her with a smile, continuing the caress as I tried to relax her further. "I would rather know than have you suffer in silence."

"As long as I don't turn into a constant whiner, right?" I teased, chuckling softly.
