A is for Alistair
With my Grey Warden, Kallian Tabris, to better my writing
She closed her eyes as he gently caressed her cheek. It had been a long day, and she had only now stopped worrying about him. He had taken a harsh wound earlier that day and he had only now convinced her he was alright.
The gash just above his hip had been due to a Hurlock rogue. The darkspawn were more and more numerous as they sensed the two Wardens to be a bigger threat.
Wynne had bandaged and cleaned the wound, and Kallian had stood by him, holding his hand the whole time.
"Where are we heading tomorrow?" he asked, his hand in hers.
"We're staying put." She said, almost expecting him to argue.
"Why, Kallie? We need to keep moving. We have to get to the Dalish Encampment." he argued.
"You are injured, Alistair. We could all use a rest anyway."
She was silver-tongued, and even Alistair, who could be very stubborn, was swayed by her.
"I suppose there would be no harm in a day off. Should be kind of relaxing, actually."
She nodded. "Let's go to bed." Tenderly, he took her into his arms and held her close, kissing her passionately on the lips.
"I love you."he said, releasing her as she helped him into the cot they now slept on together.
"I love you more."she said with a smirk.
He smiled as she cuddled up close to him for warmth, and the two Wardens fell asleep in each other's arms.
