She stared out at the landscape lost in thought. The planet Nae-aer is beautiful in all seasons, a temperate planet with meadows and forests to be seen from it's cliff side cities. Her quarters were just as beautiful as the planet they were built on. Currently the wall length retractable window was open, letting in the sweet breeze that carries the scent of the native flora that are in eternal bloom. She appears to be looking out at the horizon but her thoughts are elsewhere.
She breathes in and lets out a sigh as the man next to her shuffles awake from his short sleep. He sits up on his elbows and brushes a few soft fingers up her spine on her bare back. His touch is warm in comparison to the rich linen sheets.
"We shouldn't have done this" she speaks; her voice is soft as the wind and just as musical.
He lets himself fall onto his back.
"You…you regret this" his tone is uncertain and it does nothing to hide the slight hurt he feels from her statement.
She hadn't meant for her words to come off hurtful. She is no stranger to his misplaced feelings of inadequacy, though; she should have expected he would take her words that way.
She rolls over to look at him. The few remaining rays of late day sunlight were splayed across his face. To her, he is more beautiful than the gardens outside her room. She pulls herself up to lean over him and the sheets fall away from her. Her hair, filled with loose braids and flowers, creates a vale around them. She brushes his cheek with a thumb, taking in all his features before she meets his eyes.
"No. I find delight in every stolen moment I have with you, I could never regret it." She reaches down and touches his braid feeling every bead between her fingers, reminding him of whom he is, what he is. "But, we shouldn't have done this."
