"I don't want you to be proper,"Rena said, words tumbling out fast as she hugged him tightly.
"Just...don't leave my sight...please...Now that I have found you...I would be frightened to separate...I told you I feel that we are in danger. I meant it. I did not bring this danger to you...From what you said in the tavern, you are at least in part aware of it..."
?
She sighed, pressing her cheek against his chest as she wished things could just be nice and simple. They usually were for them and that's how she preferred it as did he.
?
Finally smiling she added,"And it's good you prefer a partner in crime rather than a cook, because I can definitely keep up with any of your antics, but cooking without supreme supervision and clear?instruction would be far beyond my skills," she proclaimed cheerfully.
?
"But then again if you'd wanted the sort of woman who could cook as well as effectively drive you mad with boredom with her endless prattling...someone with whom you would have to suppress yourself, why you'd already be married."
?
Lifting her head she took his face in her small hands and kissed him again.
?
"But you've waited for me because I am like you. I can keep you interested, and never disapprove of what you do so long as you're doing it with me."
?
She kissed him again before falling serious once more with a sigh.
?
"If we can just sort out this trouble...Insane though it is going to likely prove to be."
?
She gave a short bitter laugh.
?
"But considering who we are...perhaps some would believe we are deserving of punishment," she murmured half to herself.
?
"But food, indeed. You wanted food."
?
Her eyes moved?to the bell pull surely used to summon his servants, and she reached to give it a tug.
?
"Indeed you surely pay dearest Pool quite well. Lets see him earn it. And your cook to," she concluded cheerfully.
?
Gaze hurriedly casting about she caught sight of what was probably Henry's dressing gown and hurriedly drew it over herself. Clothing was another thing she would have to attend tomorrow? she thought with a sigh. The thought was enough to give her a headache. Casting a sad look to Henry she spoke apologetically.
?
"Henry my love...If I cause you trouble I am so very sorry. My arrival was unplanned I swear it. I never mean to inconvenience you. Please know that and I will work as hard as I can to be a help to you instead I swear it."
?
She met his gaze hoping he would see the truth in her eyes.
?
?
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed.
I get along with the voices inside of my head.
