Zedd woke with a growling belly as he always did, looking around him and seeing no sign of Richard or Kahlan, he moved about gathering up supplies for some breakfast. When he made his way around the fire he saw them. A brief moment of concern washed over him before he dismissed it by telling himself that if anything had happened he would have heard something. He took in the sight of them together for a minute, wishing that there was something he could do to help them.
He knew Kahlan must choose a mate and how hard that would be for the both of he had started on the food, the smell of the cooking flames woke Richard. He was glad he woke before Kahlan, he laid there, not moving, wanting to hold her next to him as long as possible. Her eyes flew open before she made a move, when she slowly tilted her head up, trying not to disturb him if he were asleep, her eyes were met with his along with a smile that made her heart race. She hoped he couldn't feel it being as close as they were.
She sat up slowly looking around and seeing Zedd starring over at them. "Morning Zedd." Richard said before he sat up right. "Breakfast, my boy?" he called back. Kahlan was about to stand, when Richard grabbed her arm and held her in place. "Kahlan" he tied the top of her dress to be sure it would fall to the ground when she stood. "Meet me by the river later?" he said when he was finished. "Alright." he hugged her.
The day consisted of many towns men thanking the three of them and wanting to spend as much time with them as possible. It had been two weeks and Richard thought it would have died down at least a little bit. "You saved them, you can't expect them to not thank you, Richard." Zedd said patting him on the shoulder.
Richard was not paying much attention to his grandfather the past few minutes. He was watching Kahlan, who was trying to be polite and go through with the people request of a detailed story of what happened. Richard found it very entertaining to listen to it too, it sounded much better coming from her. Zedd getting the clear message that he wasn't listening to him, followed Richards gaze over to Kahlan, who was sitting in the center of a fairly large circle of people doing an impression of Richard killing D'Harans. "She does a better you, than you." he said before turning and walking away to get more food.
"That's not how I did it." Richard said walking over to the group of people. "Do you want to tell the story? I'm sure they'd love to hear it from the man who did it." she smiled at him, her eyes begging him to save her from having to continue. Her face made him laugh. "Sorry folks, we have an...arrangement, she can finish the story later." he finished as he made his way to her and leading her out of the group. "Thank you." she said with a sigh looking over her shoulder. "I was afraid they wouldn't let me leave until they heard everything... long story." she laughed "what?" he looked at her, "They were starting to ask about you. There's a good dozen of woman, who ill do anything for you." She pulled away from him, stretched her neck out doing her best 'Richard the Hero' pose. "The Seeker." she said laughing.
