20 Themes of Miri and Evin
Disclaimer: Nothing is mine but the themes.
1. Riders
When Miri first started the riders she was terror filled. She had ridden a horse maybe twice in her life. The constant teasing from Evin Larse didn't help either.
2. Learning
Once he learned how easy it was to get along with a horse Evin was fine. It was Miri that he worried about. The girl was more attuned to fishing but she was determined to learn to ride.
3. Training
Miri worked hard at training. The distraction that Evin provided was hard to ignore though especially with his dramatic flare. It was then she knew he would be trouble.
4. Start
Evin started to realize a few things. First off, never cross Sarge if you want to be able to walk. Another, Commander Buri was serious when she talked about the wounds you could get and third, his opinion on Miri's determination was correct. She was getting better daily.
5. Stirrups
Miri figured a good way to practice was to ride without stirrups. It was, really in the beginning. Until she fell off and Evin laughed at her.
6. Pirate Swoop
They sat together at Pirate Swoop after the battle. They were both quiet, drinking in the peace before Evin spoke.
"They were right. You never really understand how you can go through wars and end up sitting with friends like nothing ever happens," it was the only time they spoke during that hour of peace.
7. Fear
Miri wasn't afraid of horses to be honest. She was more afraid of what they could do. But after Pirate Swoop she wasn't so sure what she was afraid of more. Arrows, swords, and axes or what ill tempered ponies might do if you disturb them.
8. Daine
Miri liked Daine a lot she was a nice girl and they became very good friends. She trusted her too. But she was very jealous when Evin started to spend more time with the brunette then herself. That was until she realized Daine was destined to fall in love with Numair and Evin was getting his hopes high.
9. Flirt
The first time Evin started flirting with the court ladies he knew that he was good at it. He also knew that it was a bad idea after the first time a husband to be chased him outside and he fell into a rose bush. Who knew roses were so sharp?
10. Healer
At first Miri found it amusing healing Evin's wounds that he got from court ladies. After awhile it became just plain annoying. The boy never learned.
11. Immortals
Miri got over her fear of ponies, Evin saw this coming. She got over her fear of battling men too. She never got over her fear of being killed by an immortal and Evin could agree with her that. He didn't like them either.
12. Water
They rode their rider groups together to the shore line. Blue Harbor to be exact and Evin wasn't looking forward to it very much. Then they stopped at a beach for a day and he found that Miri looked especially good in the water.
13. War
The first war they fought in together was the Immortal's War. He knew Miri was terrified, he was too. They stood out there in Port Legann and neither of them knew who was coming out alive or not. Evin figured it was a good time to tell her he liked her more then a friend but then again, some things could wait until after war.
14. Didn't
He didn't tell her. Instead he found Lady Rosetta who was just looking for a good time with a handsome man. Then he found out why. She was getting married to someone much older then her, and that man was faster then Evin thought he would be when running after him.
15. Better Time
When Miri was applying bruise balm to his shoulder and telling him off he considered telling her he loved her then. Then decided there was a better time to pop that up on her, especially when she could call him a hypocrite.
16. Hiding
Miri found she was good at hiding her feelings for Evin through teasing and scolding. She also found she was good at telling herself it didn't matter when he came back with red lip paint on the side of his neck, or a very self satisfied look on his face.
17. Truth
He bought a truth stone finally. Evin was proud of himself for buying it and disguised it as something to questions raiders with. It didn't help the fact Miri fell off of her chair laughing when he told her that. She never did believe him on that one.
18. Giving Up
There were various times he considered giving up the Queen's Riders for different reasons. Once it was because Lady Teresa had told him that she would marry him if he did until Miri let him know of her up coming marriage, and then there was the time in his training years where he'd gotten his foot stomped on, cut his hand with a knife, and fell out of the hayloft. Yet no matter what happened, or how bad he wanted to quite Miri was always there laughing at him and calling him an idiot. He never did give up.
19. Admitting
He finally got around to admitting it to himself at the very least. He loved Miri Fisher. It was everything about her from her shiny hair and her brilliant bouncing green eyes, to her fierce loyalty to him and to the Queen's Riders, and the way no matter what happened she was still fighting until the end. There were millions of reason why he should love Miri but there was only one reason he did. Because Miri was herself no matter what position you put her in.
20. Laugh
She didn't laugh when he told her the truth. He stuttered, and was sweating but he got it out and she told him the truth right back. She loved him too. She did laugh though, when he fell onto a hay bale with his usual flair and declared that the hardest thing he'd ever done in his life. She didn't realize it was the truth.
A/N: I think I'm going to do twenty themes of different pairings per chapter and this, obviously was Evin/Miri. I think their okay. The first ones weren't as good as say the middle ones and my last ones are never that wonderful. Anyway I think my next chapter is going to be Raoul/Buri. That's it haha.
