Andia: The Revolution

[Eltee]

Spoiler:

He's right.

Aarys mouthed I love you to Valentin. "Thanks, Peter..." Aarys said, closing her eyes for a moment.

[King Acunasti]

"Rys..." Valentin whispered, biting his lip in pain.

[Eltee]

"Yeah?" She said softly.

Spoiler:

The pain was only supposed to be for the duration of the healing.

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

Did she heal the wound?

[Eltee]

Spoiler:

Yep.

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

Oh...I thought she just realigned the bone.

"Thanks." he said with a grin.

[Eltee]

"You'd do it for me." She said dismissively. She picked up her rifle, and reloaded it. "Those bloody horsemen could renew their assault at any moment... Eyes open!"

[King Acunasti]

"Babe, you have a cut on your forehead." Valentin pointed out with concern.

[Eltee]

"I... Think Peter is bandaging it." Aarys said woozily.

[King Acunasti]

"I love you." Valentin stated, kissing his fiancée.

[Eltee]

"You too.." Aarys said. "I can't... I can't leave you in battle anymore. I can't!"

[King Acunasti]

"You have to." Valentin responded. "I'll force you to leave if you don't listen to me. There's too much to risk when we're in combat."

[Eltee]

"But... But... You could get hurt...!"

[King Acunasti]

"Yeah," Valentin murmured. "I could. But you might be pregnant. You're risking two lives by fighting these monsters."

[Eltee]

"If we lose, we're all dead. If I fight, there is a smaller chance of losing!"

[King Acunasti]

"If we lose, you'll be able to run if you're hiding." Valentin responded. "Do as I say. I refuse to give you up to death."

[Eltee]

"I can't lose you!" Aarys protested. "Maybe... Maybe I could be a sniper!"

[King Acunasti]

"Hmm..." Valentin said with interest. "I bet that could work. Because when...or if you're pregnant, you won't be able to sprint around the battlefield after nine months. Plus, you'll be safer. And you're one hell of a shot."

[Kerr]

Gladro had been overhearing the conversation as he sat in the front of the car. "We should all look into more training once we get out of this mess." said Gladro. "Wouldn't mind getting magic training myself."

[JVElEven]

Spoiler:

And I'm all alone in the other car.

[Eltee]

Spoiler:

You're mean, antisocial, and devoted to taking my unborn daughter. Sh.

[JVElEven]

Spoiler:

I haven't agreed to that!yet.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin nodded in agreement to Gladro's statement. He turned back to Aarys. "Come here, sweetheart." he whispered. "Lean against my shoulder. Sleep. I'll keep watch."

[Eltee]

Aarys did just that, leaning her head against his shoulder. She was asleep in leas than a minute.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin ran his fingers through Aarys' hair, kissing her cheek every few moments. "I love you, Aarys." he whispered. "Thank goodness you're alright."
