Kayla, shaking, sat there in his arms. Her voices quieted enough to be ignored and she opened her eyes. "Sorry...." She said quietly, her eyes down |
|  |
|
| |
|
"It's fine," He assured her softly, taking his time with her. |
|  |
|
| |
|
"No, really...If I become...annoying or something, just....." She muttered, pausing and thinking. "Send me away....." |
| |
|
| |
|
"Kayla," Gale said softly, squeezing her shoulder gently. "I don't think you could ever even annoy me. And i'm never going to send you back to that kingdom, for all I can tell, they made you worse then what you already were." |

Kayla nodded and gently flinched from his hands |
| |
|
| |
|
He remain where he was, letting the silence wrap around them. |
| |
|
| |
|
Kayla was silent, her eyes still down and waiting- for the next command, I suppose |
| |
|
| |
|
Gale sat with her, watching the sun rise |
| |
|
| |
|
Kayla sat there for a while, noticing the little things. They way he slightly relaxed around her, the warmth of his hand, his soft smiles at her, the promise of safety... |

Gale finished off his flask, setting it aside as the edges of his mind softened. |

Warming, with Sleet and Heavy Icing
