Katsa.
Katsa woke to an throbbing pain in her side and a massive headache, she slowly opened her eyes and looked around, she was in her bed and Po sat on a chair next to her bed, his head hanging over the back of the chair, he was snoring loudly. She laughed slightly "Po?" she said, her voice croaking, she didn't remember how she got here or why she was in agony. Po stirred; the last thing she remembered was the western men fighting her.
She tried to sit up but let out a loud whimper, she this is what pain feels like. Po sat up then "Kat?" he asked sitting on the side of the bed, Katsa smiled "What happened?" she asked
"You don't remember?" he asked
"No" she mumbled
"You fought off a whole army of the Westerns" he said, "You received a nasty stab wound but the doctor says its healing nicely" he said, he stroked her face "You were out for 3 days" he said
"I can't believe I'm in pain," she said, she giggled slightly, and then winced in pain
Po stayed silent and looked down "Raffin has gone to the Westerns to ask why parts of there army were on Leinid soil" he mumbled
Katsa sat up with a wince of pain and shook her head "That will start a war" she said
"I know, but they attacked you" Po said
"I think they were worst off them I" she laughed slightly
"Well, we should have word in a day or two" he sighed "Until then, rest, I will come see you later" he said standing, he lent down and kissed the top of her head before leaving the room.
Po
Po sat in his office listening to his assistant read the letters from his father concerning the Westerns; he nodded and silently agreed with what his father said about Raffin finding out what was happening. Although he believed a Leinid should have gone for a peace treaty. He sighed and stood from his chair, pacing back and forth. He fiddled with his rings, including the newest one he had made to show his love for Katsa.
He smiled when he thought about her, of course he didn't like her in pain, but he couldn't help but like the fact that for once she was not higher then him in Grace, for once she was laying in the bed and he caring for her. He turned to Herato, his assistant, and pursed his lips in thought "What do you make of that?" he asked about his fathers last sentence
"How do you mean Lord Prince?" Herato asked
"What do you think Lord King meant when he said 'To wage war would be unwise, especially with the Westerns'?" Po asked
"Well, Lord Prince, any war is not wise, it causes much pain and misery, and Leinids are peaceful people so Lord King most probably would not like to break that peace" Herato said
"I agree, but why specifically with the Westerns?" he asked
Herato looked to the distanced, obviously confused, then he turned to Po and stood "What are you saying, Lord Prince?"
"I am saying, Herato, that Lord King is hiding something from me. I may have to make a trip to Ror City to find out what it is" he said turning on his heel and leaving the room with a grin of satisfaction.
