Kit sprinted up to Daine as Onua sighed with relief,"So I assume you defeated that guy?" Numair nodded,
"I'm very, very tired." he pondered.
"Well, that is quite obvious," Onua replied, smirking.
Numair sighed as he approached his room with Daine.
"Go bathe my Magelet," he whispered kissing Daine's forehead. She gave a sigh of relief and headed towards the bathroom, Numair sprawled out on the bed and quickly dozed off while Daine was bathing. He awoke to the sound of Kit, whistling happily as she entered the room, Numair jumped up to see Daine setting Kit on the bed. "What is the time?"
"Just past midnight Numair, you need to bathe and sleep along with the rest of us," Daine replied softly, snuggling close to Numair. He sighed and went to bathe, while Daine talked silently with the cat who had jumped up on the bed, after about an hour Daine knocked on the bathroom door to see if Numair had fallen asleep in the tub. She could hear splashing and giggled as she heard a loud thump and a moan. "Can't you walk, Numair? Let alone get out of a tub…" Daine remarked through the door, she heard mumbling and the door opened. She struggled to keep herself from bursting out laughing as Numair stumbled out the doorway with a towel on his head and wrapped around his legs. His hair was sopping wet and he was dripping water all over his room as he was fumbling through his dresser to find some clothes. Daine laid down on the bed waiting for Numair to wake up, but he just flopped next to her and blushed,
"I don't think you're ready yet, magelet.."
Daine smiled and said, "I understand. I'm going to go to bed, goodnight." Numair waved good-bye and fell fast asleep as soon as Daine left the room. About 9 days later Numair awoke to the smell of fresh cooked breakfast and he looked around the room. He got dressed then went to the mess hall to see Daine and Alanna talking quietly in the corner.
"Hello Magelet," he said, behind Daine. She jumped and turned around, then scowled.
"Rise and shine sleepy head, Alanna and I were talking so could you please go eat? Thanks!" Numair frowned and said,
"Talking about what.."
"Oh, nothing.." Alanna said smiling. Numair looked at the two and then went up to his room. He picked up a mirror and started scrying, just to realize Daine and Alanna were have a pointless conversation. He sighed and ate his food in peace.
"Okay, he stopped scrying now," Alanna whispered to Daine. "So, what was it like in the Realm of the Gods?" Daine told Alanna everything, even when she fell off the cliff, and how Numair proposed.
Alanna grinned and said, "I'm so happy for you!"
"Really? I thought you might be… well angry since the age difference," Daine responded happily.
"Everyone has been waiting for this, of course I'm not angry with you!" Alanna screeched. Numair then came running up, looking at the two girls questioningly as they started giggling.
"What's so funny," he pondered.
"Nothing!" Daine managed to say.
"Alanna, I hope you don't mind, but Daine and I have some unfinished business to attend to," Numair said. Alanna raised her eyebrow and nodded, then whispered something to Daine. Daine's face went pale and she look at Alanna.
"It's needed, Daine." Daine just nodded and walked with Numair.
"What was that all about, magelet?" Numair said.
"Oh, nothing," Daine said, managing to fake a weak smile.
