Set In Her Way: A bit of bruised heart mingled with the joy of rising, better circumstance in Beathag. She sat now at Jelenahs bedside, only rising when the woman's sleep proved deep enough to not disturb.It would become her ritutal, her habit, until such time as recovery was hers to keep. Beyond the door turned by callused hands were halls walked by restless feet. Behind her back were hands that were clasped tight enough to white the knuckles of lily skin that was still in sore need of a day in the sun, undisturbed undetered. Coming so far as an open window seat, her body accepted gravity's wish to take the posistion. Unimportant vigil was had as she watched colors change in stained glass, wincing softly at the aches pricking at her body.
Ignia Ferroque: Adam passed the door and saw that she still fretted over the lass. Curiosity finally got the best of him... entering, he walks to her his hand reaching out to caress golden furls hiding bloodshot eyes. "Bessie Eve, ye gotta have faith in our healers luv. Ye cannae make her come back so soon... she be healin'...she nae dead..."
Set In Her Way: "Och, tis nay tha," she spoke to him as he parted the screen of hair between their faces, "Ah know she'll be alright, tis much more n' tha' though it sticks..rather..vivid..in meh mind. Ah just can nay sleep."
Ignia Ferroque: "Wot? Wot bae the problem... wot demons keep ye awake luv?" Patting her side, he makes her move and sits down beside her. One arm wraps automatically around the waist. "Ye are mae strength, lemme bae yers."
Set In Her Way: " Tae many..Adam. Broken ships n' friends at mah feet , can nay find Tial MacDonald. Gods help meh if he ends up gettin' his throat slit by any less than us, or e'en at all! Gods.." She leaned into him and sighed softly, "Hunted the Guild Halls....the markets...where the hell did tha' boy gae? Someone is harborin' him..he is here but tis as if he disappeared! Word is nay out yet o' the rape n' murder...tryin' tae find him afore it does " Eamonn had spoken to her of stress never being the anser, of health to think of. Her and Adam had much the same plight, if only others knew how deep it ran.
Ignia Ferroque: Thoughts of ways, ways too clandestine for her to know, to deal with men as Tial MacDonald... With an odd expression, he smiles at her. "Don't fret over a MacDonald... especially if one is sae downright evil... lemme deal with justice... lemme deal with things so evil. Ye duunae need tae..."
Set In Her Way: "Adam dun dae it, ye can nay cut off his head yet. Ah already told Eamonn tae take him him alive, unless he can nay fer I won't be riskin his men and ours.." she pulled her hair out of her face and shook her head. What did she know, if anything? " Ah know ye are gaein' tae kill them, just nay when, Adam," she looked to him, then to the Blue castle in the distance " Ah know ye plan on...well tis obvious. Just feel sae cornered. e'erytime a door opens it seems tae fall shut in a foul swoop!"
Ignia Ferroque: His hand claps to her knee and he kisses her cheek... "Naew ye knaew what Ah bae thinkin, ye dae?" winking at her. "Aare ye sum kinda seer naew?" he begins to tease her a bit, but he sees that she knows what he plans... "Luv... if ye feel sae cornered... take out the Dutchess and be gaene a few days...Ah and Turas Lan wilst bae here when ye get back..."
Set In Her Way: "No, no no." she shook her head with a fever pace and sighed, " I...I can nay. Nay after tha' shipwreck...washin'..." she sighed, " N' I can nay leave, nay now. Nay like this twould look terrible unless Ah was patrolin' the coasts n' m'place is here, with ye.."
Ignia Ferroque: "Luv, twould be gaed fer ye... the salt air... tae see the sea that would naet take ye like it did hte lass' ship... do a merchant run tae ireland... who kaews..." he smiles... "We'll tackle our demons in time... just as laeng as we luv each other..."
Set In Her Way: " We'll see, the idea is nay a bad one n' one wot needs tae happen anyhow. Ah'll put it in meh list o' things tae dae. All I wish tae think on now is just ye.." she caressed his face, knowing he wished the best for her, as she did him, "We'll get things 'ere right..then we'll take ourselves a honeymoon tour."
Ignia Ferroque: Rising from the window seat only to kneel before her... "Bessie Eve... ye are the best thing that ever happened tae mae... I have been on a honeymoon since that first day in the market when Ah saw yer golden fleece and yer hard manner o'dealing with people… Twas somethin' that I never saw b'fore... and the way the babe took tae ye..." he chuckled.
Set In Her Way: Just as he had done for their vows, he took to his knee to profess his love to his jaded princess of far flung oddity. Laughing, she watched as he babbled on of fleece, sweetness, and how the barbed wire he wed served to give him all he wanted. " Adam, ye say such things n' iffn they were anyone else? Ah would nay believe 'em," she touched his face as she noted his handsome expressions, "Just like the day Ah met ye, handsome as e'er...only man I met wot carryin a child n' a banner, ye stood out."
Ignia Ferroque: His head pressed into her hand... one could almost swear the grown man purred... "Bessie Eve, there nev'r was anyone baut yu before... 'cept a woman of loose means... or one who her Father was tryin tae pawn off for one reason 'nother... but ye captured me as if ye set out tae... and saes ye know, Ah carried the banner tae save people,... and set them free..."
Set In Her Way: " Ah know. Ye carried the Falcon tae dae the same thing, and ye turned intae the Griffin wot set more free, n' here ye are now. But ye beh more n' tha' tae meh. Just Adam..m'beloved Adam. Ah often wonder how such a bred man became such a rogue," she grinned softly, listening to his pleasure rumble in his chest. Hands held fast in his hair before kissing his brow, " Fer all ye've been through, ye still think with ye heart, nay ye noble blood fer wot it is. Ye are a man tae meh. Neither half Anglish nor half scotts. Just a man. The one Ah love."
Ignia Ferroque: Scooting toward her, he laid his curley head in her lap, looking at the wall. "Mabbe someday, Ah'll get the courage tae tell ye all about how the noble became the rogue..., since ye know how the rogue became a noble..." his hands caressed her buttocks as the arms encircled her.
Set In Her Way: " One day we can speak on all those things, n' the deepest part o' the past won't be sae deep...or sae painful.." She laidback in the crevice of the window seat..caressing his head. "There be sae much Ah won't tae say tae ye m'self mo chroi. Sae much n' we've all our lives tae speak on it."
Ignia Ferroque: What would be perceived as an uncomfortable position was actually very comfortable, and soothing to a troubled mind as such as Lord Adam Aberdeen. Right now he was safer from any demons living, dead, or mentally summoned. Looking up at her briefly to say... then laying back down. "We'v aer whole lives Bessie Eve... our whole lives... Ah am five and thirty... and ah feel as long as Ah have ye, another five and thirty ah shall live..."
Set In Her Way: "Then ye shall live tae be a man o' seventah n' Ah shall be ye ever-bride n' wife, fer Ah be nay gaein anywhere ye can nay follow." He needed her affections as direly as she needed his humor, his sweetness. Red eyes looked to him with nothing but admiration for this boyish looking man who saved many. " Ah love ye, sae much. Treasure these times Ah dae..just us."
Ignia Ferroque: "As ah dae... every moment with yu is a lifetime in its own... one that nae one kin take away from me..." Silence offered repeated promises of love and affection as the two just sat... and caressed one another. Life was moving on outside that window, but for them time stood still.
Set In Her Way: She stood in order that she might take his hand into her own. Time stood still; the hour crept to nothing when they two stood as one. " Nay one shall take anythin' from us, Adam, ne'er..."
Ignia Ferroque: "Ne'er..."
Set In Her Way: " Ne'er in this life, nor the next.." She pulled him up to stand with her " My life is always bound to yours."
Ignia Ferroque: "An' mine tae yers... " Into his arms she pulls pulled.
