Andia: The Revolution

[King Acunasti]

"No, tell me." Valentin pushed. "What are you due for in a week?"

[Eltee]

"Umm... Uhh... Well... Ahh..." Aarys was tapping her foot nervously. "Every month, a girl... Goes through a cycle. Which stops if they're pregnant."

[King Acunasti]

"What cycle?" Valentin asked. "Does your butt get smaller when it stops?"

Spoiler:

[Eltee]

"I'm not quite following the logic here, Val." Aarys said. "I get cramps. And stuff. That's it."

[King Acunasti]

"Cramps?" Valentin asked. "I get cramps too. Sometimes I have them on my right leg. I think it's because I bend it weird while I sleep. Is that, like, the male version of the cycle?"

[Eltee]

"Uh, you..." Aarys sighed. "Sure. Whatever. Shut up and kiss me."

[King Acunasti]

"Sweet!" Valentin laughed. "We have cycles!"

He held Aarys' head and gave her a long kiss. "You know what?"

[Eltee]

Aarys rubbed her eyes. "What?"

[King Acunasti]

"I think that cut makes you look kind of badass."

[Eltee]

"It certainly doesn't feel badass. A horseman kicked me in the head. It stings."

[King Acunasti]

"How could I help?" Valentin asked.

[Eltee]

"I'm just whining, don't worry." Aarys smiled. "Don't worry."

[King Acunasti]

"Heal it like you did for my leg."

[Eltee]

"I'm too tired..." She moaned. "You do it, hon."

[King Acunasti]

"Okay, sweetheart." Valentin said. "Just lean back, close your eyes, and relax."

[Eltee]

Aarys did just that.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin carefully placed two fingers on Aarys' wound and sent a long wave of healing energy through the cut. "There you go," he whispered. "That feels good, doesn't it?"

The wound was completely healed in a matter of minutes.

[Eltee]

Aarys scratched the barely visible scar. "Itchy." She murmured.

[King Acunasti]

"Well, don't scratch it." Valentin said as he removed her hand from her forehead. "It doesn't take a doctor to tell you that you shouldn't scratch a healed wound."

[Eltee]

Aarys stuck her tongue out at him.

[King Acunasti]

"You wanna fight?" Valentin laughed, playfully punching Aarys on the shoulder. "I'll fight ya. Come on! Let's go!"

[Eltee]

Aarys grinned. "Too tired. I'll get you later."

[King Acunasti]

"Yeah?" Valentin smiled, roughly rubbing her head and messing up her hair. "You can't just delay a fight."

[Eltee]

"Watch me."

[King Acunasti]

Valentin put Aarys into a strong (yet gentle) headlock. "Nope." he laughed.
