Caelan was making a sketch of a dragon--one so realisti looking that it looked like it would poke it's head off the page any minute. "Good morning, my beautiful girl" He said, lifting his head and pecking her cheek. "How soon do you need to leave?" He asked softly, handing her an apple pastry |

Adele admired his work, surprised at how talented he was. "Wow, Caelan, you're really good. You must sketch a lot." She accepted the pastry and said, "Well, probably pretty soon. It takes a couple hours to ride there, and that's if I'm cantering Calvin the whole way. He ran yesterday, so I don't want to do that to him. But again, if you need me to stay, I will." She didn't want Caelan to be scared, or for him to have to face his mother again. But she did need to go home. |

"I'll ride with you to the border" He said softly. "You have a ingdom to tend to and a prince to humble." He added softly, tipping his head back slightly to rest against her. "But I can try and see you as soon as possible in your kingdom if you want?" He offered, setting the sketchbook down and standing up. He turned and kissed her forehead before walking to his nightstand and placing a couple daggers on his rib sheaths. He walked over to Adele, dagger in hand in a nice way and placed it into her hidden sheath on her leg. "Don't forget that's there or else it'll be immpossible to run comfortably, darling" He warned softly, watching her with adoration |

Adele nodded, glad he was coming with her. She felt safer that way, even with her daggers. She thanked him for the extra dagger and went into her old room to change. A few minutes later, she emerged and took the apple pastry again, beginning to eat it. Though it was cold, it still tasted incredible, like a pie, but more tart. She was disappointed when it was gone, but it had given her the strength she needed for the journey ahead. Adele grabbed her other clothes and wrapped them up securely so they wouldn't fall when Calvin was running. She followed Caelan towards the stables, holding her breath that his mother didn't show up. |

Caelan grabbed the second pastry and handed it to her on the walk to the stables. He kissed the top of her head and tacked up both horses so she could eat the pastry. "Next time you come, we need to visit Betty again. She adores you." He noted softly, placing her stuff in the saddle bags on Calvin. He mounted up onto Aurora and sighed, sad Adele had to go home. Get yourself together! Needy and immature? She won't want that. He thought, leading them out into the woods |

(We need some drama... But my mind is blank :| ) . Adele nearly refused the pastry to say that he should eat it, but the smell was too overwhelming and she couldn't not bite into it. She finished it off quickly, helping him finish tacking up the horses. She mounted Calvin, loving the feeling of the leather saddle creaking underneath her. "She adores you," she pointed out as they entered the forest a quick trot. Calvin stretched his legs, lengthening his stride in the crisp morning air. "I'm glad you have someone like Betty in your life." |

Someone captures Adele while she's coming to his kingdom next time and brings her to the dungeon of the night kingdom, not knowing Caelan is dating her and she thinks Caelan ordered her capture and he pleads for forgiveness while she's stubborn--but obvi comes around--and he losses his crap at his mother because she's the one who ordered Adele's capture?) Caelan easily kept up on Aurora, nodding in agreeance. "Like I said, she's like a real mom" He said, shrugging slightly. "But you should have seen the way her eyes lit up when she saw you. I had heard her in the past talking to herself about how she was worried nobody would want someone with my heritage--the abusive parents and mean look. She kept telling me I'd find love, but I don't think she really enitrely believed it until you showed up." |
