Andia: The Revolution

"It'll be doused by the snow. Relax," Hremai muttered coldly, before simply leaving, apparently now calm enough not to destroy anything.

She sat down on a log near a fire, staring into it.

And thus she'll be lost in thought till I log on tomorrow. Feel free to rant about irresponsibility.

"What, we are we having a victory bonfire? That is so awesome!!'l

[Leyyuce]

Peter sprinted back into the rebel camp, retrieving a bucket of ice-cold water as was heated and used for bathing; he immediately returned to the site of the potential disaster, dousing the inflamed trunk with enough liquid to successfully smother those bits of flame which had not already subsided. He opted to remain near the smoldering wood for several minutes, in order to ensure the fire was not reignited by the dying embers.

"Those are fireworks, gorgeous." Valentin said to Aarys with a grin. "Let's celebrate. Come here."

He pulled her closer and began to kiss her.

[Eltee]

"Fireworks? What are fireworks?" Aarys asked in confusion.

[King Acunasti]

"That crash." Valentin replied. "I think they're fireworks."

[Eltee]

"I mean, what is a firework? I have never heard of it before." Aarys said, looking confused.

[King Acunasti]

"They're big things that explode in the sky during celebrations." Valentin said.

[Eltee]

"That makes no sense." Aarys said, frowning.

[King Acunasti]

"Aarys, who cares?" Valentin said. "Let's just use it as an excuse to kiss!"

[Eltee]

Aarys shrugged. "Whatever you say, Val..." She kissed him on the nose, giggling, then on the lips.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin broke away from the kiss after less than 30 seconds. "I'll carry you to the fire." he said.

[Eltee]

"I'm past the point of protesting when you carry me. At least I know you will have practice carrying me across the threshold.." Aarys laughed, jumping into Valentin's arms.

[King Acunasti]

"I love carrying you." Valentin laughed. "I don't even know why. I just love carrying you."

[Eltee]

Aarys wrapped her arms around Valentin's neck. "There are worse things in the world than being carried..." She said, kissing him briefly.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin nodded. "Especially with me. I'd never, ever drop you."

He headed towards the nearby fire at the center of the camp and sat down on one of the logs that served as a bench for the rebels to relax. But he did not let go of Aarys. "You can stay here if you want." he said with a grin. "You don't have to sit on the log."

[Eltee]

Aarys changed her position slightly, so she was sitting on his lap and facing the fire. "Sounds good. You are more comfortable anyways..." She said, grinning.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin gently wrapped his arms around Aarys' torso, locking his hands together in front of her stomach. He rested his chin on her shoulder. "So...tonight, we won a battle, got engaged, and had sex two times." he said. "Quite the night."

[Eltee]

Aarys slapped Valentin playfully. "'Made love' sounds more romantic than 'had sex,' yeah?" She laughed. "But, yeah. I feel like I am dreaming, and I am going to wake up any second."

[King Acunasti]

Valentin laughed. "'Made love' sounds like we're trying too hard to be fancy." he said.

[Eltee]

"And 'had sex' still doesn't sound romantic enough. 'Slept together?' A bit better, I think." Aarys laughed.

[King Acunasti]

"'Had sex' is straight to the point." Valentin argued with a laugh of his own.

[Eltee]

"We weren't. But I am pretty sure this is the weirdest conversation ever!" Aarys kissed Valentin passionately. "My fiancé!" Her eyes were bright and wide, and indescribably happy.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin leaned back slightly, only to fall straight into the snow. But he barely even noticed. He continued kissing Aarys with his eyes shut and his entire backside planted in the snow. Considering that Aarys was on top of him, she remained dry.

[Eltee]

Aarys squeaked. "You okay?" She asked.
