This, I hope, will not be goodbye. [6/22 - Larson & Amelie]

Larson Castell · 08-31-2011, 01:07 AM

The night before Larson had followed the guards up to the tower, but was ordered away, something that he had come to resent was the fact that he'd actually listened to the orders he was given. It was just that she was crying and he should have been there for her. He failed.

He looked at his reflection in the mirror and his shoulders slumped. His word, his soul, his honor, now his wife. "My lord, are you ready?" the man asked as he peeked through the room to Larson. It was his new captain, a man he came to befriend and understand, from his army in Chrysa.

"Almost, I just have to see to a few things, it will only take me a little bit. Would you give me about an hour?" In the mirror he could see him nod and Larson thanked him in return.

They had all put on their armor, as it was a time of war, that was the only way to travel at this point. Larson felt uncomfortable, covered in metal, carrying weapons. He shook his head and left his room, walking towards the towers, he made his way to say goodbye to his wife.

"Lord Lars .." The guard at the door attempted to introduce him as he walked in, not saying a word, not asking for entrance. He would not make the same mistake twice.

"Are you seriously going to introduce me into the room to my wife?" The guard looked down to his feet as Larson looked down his nose at him. "Leave us." He said as he slammed the door behind him.

He took a deep breath and looked around the room, hoping that Amelie would be some degree of happy to see him, hoping she wouldn't hate him.

Amelie Castell · 08-31-2011, 01:44 AM

Amelie had been laying down, sick to her stomach with the news she was hearing. This was torture. They might think it something else, but it was… Her hand was on her stomach, she could feel the churning within. The babe was being most disagreeable right now… But so was its mother, so she could not blame him (or her) so much.

The slam of the door had her sitting up quickly, and she turned her head around to see Larson donned in full battle armor. Her lip trembled even as she rose to her feet.

“So… you’re going to go kill my brother now?” she asked miserably. “I suppose it’s a fool's hope to wish for some other way? Some other ending? I… I don’t want to lose either of you.”

Larson Castell · 08-31-2011, 01:58 AM

He saw Amelie emerge from where she'd been laying and walked to her with his arms outstretched. Larson listened to her questions and mulled over his answer carefully. Sadly he didn't think he'd get the honor of killing Christopher but he sure was going to try to kill his lands and his people.

"I am not ... no. I am going to take over a few of his cities to hopefully help him realize that he shouldn't misunderstand King Victor and how serious his word is." He couldn't think of anything else to say so he added just about the dumbest thing he'd ever said in his life. "I don't think you'll lose both of us ... "

He was so uncomfortable, he couldn't help it, he had no desire to leave Amelie here alone. However he did have Victor's word that Amelie would be safe here, and his cousin understood how important this baby was, he couldn't lie to him now.

To make the situation even more unprecedented, he said the most sobering thing he'd ever heard, mark the day! "You must not say things like this out loud though, not when I'm not here, Victor has promised your comfort don't upset him. If you say you're a Castell then you must not defend a Mallory." He looked at Amelie carefully, noticing the look of something that resembled seasickness, her lack of comfort was all over her face.

"Please, let's lay back down, I want you to be comfortable." He escorted her carefully back to the bed. "You must stay calm and keep yourself safe."

Amelie Castell · 08-31-2011, 02:02 AM

She listened to him, sadly laying back down as he escorted her. Slipping her hand into his, she was loathe to release it, so she held fast to it. “To turn on my own brother? What would that say of my loyalty to any? Victor above all puts his family first, holds them above all others. To betray his trust goes deeper than mere treason. I am loyal to your cousin, but I love my brother. I would no sooner ask you to speak against Lexington,” she said.

“I know you understand. And I realize how hard this must be for you as well. I cannot be making it any easier. So I ask that you just kiss me. I want to feel your lips on mine. I want you to tell me that everything’s going to be all right.”

Larson Castell · 08-31-2011, 02:10 AM

Larson gripped Amelie's hand and looked to her, sadness was his expression, he couldn't help but understand her. Nodding he sat down on the bed next to his wife and spoke softly. "I suppose I misspoke. I do not want you to turn on him just, I suppose, be a little less vocal?" He shrugged knowing what he said was no use.

He slid his fingers through Amelie's hair, studying her face to remember her, he would be gone for some time. Leaning down, he licked Amelie's lips, he couldn't help but smile as he just loved to tease her.
