Daine Sarrasri X Numair Salmalin
(The god child and the mage)
"Come to bed already, love," Daine spoke as Numair continued to work. She could see that he was tired, his eyes were bloodshot and his hands were the slightest bit shaky as he wrote out the lesson plans for the young paiges and squires for tomorrow.
"In a minute," he responded. Daine of course knew that he would sit there until he collapsed of exhaustion unless someone forced him to go to bed.
She walked up to him, taking the quill out of his shaky hand and laying it down. He moved to pick it up, "I'm almost done."
"You need sleep more than you or your students need the lesson plan."
"Magelet, I'll be with you in a few minutes, I promise."
Daine growled, she hardly believed him, being absorbed into his work so often. But she took a seat near him, making sure that he wouldn't stay up much later. Numair finally finished just as Daine ran out of patience. She huffed, turning into a cat, her clothes falling to the floor, and slunk off to their room. She jumped lightly onto their bed and curled up on her pillow, waiting for Numair's heavy steps to follow her.
He followed slowly after her, stripping down to his breeches, and lowered himself onto the bed, falling asleep almost instantly. Daine returned to her human form, pulling on one of Numair's clean shirts, and snuggled up to him under the covers.
