Summary: A secret tryst between two lovers.
Shadows dance upon the wall, the only hint of the couple hidden in the secluded corridor. Soft words, passionate whispers, louder declarations stifled by kisses. It's still winter outside but the promise of spring makes everyone giddy, even determined young knights, and conservative old training masters. The whisper of danger, of secrecy only makes it more enticing to be in love. Footsteps upon flagstones thrust the two from each other's arms, but as soon as they fade, the two return to each other, shared body heat warming them like no fire can.
"What if-?" she whispers.
"Nothing," he says.
"But if someone-." She tries again.
"They won't." He reassures her.
"Are you s-?" She asks.
"Positive." And he is.
They embrace once more, and she departs. He waits a few minutes, and leaves also. Lady Knight Keladry and Lord Wyldon of Cavall return to the party.
