May I remind you all that I CAN'T SPELL!!!!!!!! I realize it, you can stop
reminding me! And if I change canter to trotting, or running, or galloping
I would be changing the speed of the horse. Okay that be all.
Numair's Angel
Kaddar:
'Numair, why don't we take Arram with us this morning.' Daine said. She had just finished giving Arram his breakfast, and didn't want to give him to anyone.
'All right, that sounds like a good idea.' He said from their room. 'Come on then. It's almost ten.'
Numair and Daine walked down to the rider's pastures. Cloud, Spots, and Mangle came right up to see them. Cloud gave Arram, who was in Daine's arms, a small nuzzle, making the baby coo. Daine smiled and kissed Numair's cheek. She remembered how he would always try to out do every one by buying her the best presents he could. She realized stand there with him was the best present that he could ever give her. Daine kissed his lips.
'What was that for?' he asked surprised.
'Thank you.' She replied.
'For what?' he asked skeptical.
'For every thing.' She said holding Arram closer to her.
'Glad to be a mother?' he asked with a smile.
'Very.' She said.
Numair took Arram from her arms. It was only the third time he had ever held his son. Numair put his hands in the spot that Daine had put them in the night before. Arram cooed again and reached for Numair's ear bobs. His little hand encircled the jewels and gave a small pull. Numair winced as Arram cooed again thinking it was fun. Diane laughed and undid Arram's small fist.
'Good Morning.' Lindhall said walking up. The Carthaki delegates was with him.
'Good Morning, ow, everyone' Numair said trying to smile. He gave a small glare down at his son who was pulling on his ear bob again. Daine and Alanna both laughed. 'Yours' Numair said handing Arram to her. Daine giggled.
'Fine go.' She said. You too, she told the horses. Arram reached for Cloud's nose. The horse snorted to make Arram coo. Hehehehe, Cloud said. Well someone like Arram, Daine teased. He's alright, Cloud replied, for the stork-man's colt.
'Cloud.' Daine said out loud, 'Sho.' Cloud walked over to her favorite grass spot to eat.
'Hello Daine.' Daine turned around to see Kaddar.
'Hello Kaddar.' She said brightly. 'It's been so long. How are you?'
'I'm fine.' He said 'Congratulations'
'Thank you.'
'What's his name.' He said giving Arram's stomach a small tickle.
'Arram.' Daine said. She shifted Arram in her arms making the baby coo.
'Numair's?' he asked. Daine saw his eyes darken.
'Yep.' She said not letting it bother her. Kaddar muttered something. 'What?'
'Oh, nothing. Just saying how cute he was.' She could tell he was saying it though gritted teeth.
'Is something wrong?' She asked. She winced; Arram was pulling on her hair. 'Don't pull on ma's hair.' She said pulling her hair out of his fist.
'No, there isn't.' Kaddar said, even less friendly.
'Yes there is.' She said.
'Alright there is.' He said. He turned to look at the horses.
'What is it?' she asked, thinking she knew.
'That.' He said nodding to Arram.
'He is not a that!' she said offended.
'It's your teacher's.' he said angry.
'Numair isn't my teacher.' She said.
'Now.' Kaddar replied looking away again.
'He hasn't been for a while.' She said. Why was he doing this?
'Really. So that's why he told me not to mess with you.' He said giving off a aura of high authority.
'Really. Why?' she said annoyed.
'He wanted you for himself. In his bed.' Kaddar walked away from her.
Daine was left with her mouth open. She decided to make Kaddar take what he said back. Daine walked over to Numair and leaned against him. He smiled and touched her check and tickled Arram's stomach. Daine leaned closer to him. Numair just kept talking to one of the ministers. Daine felt like she was going to cry.
How could Kaddar say that Numair only want to bed her? Numair loves her a lot. He asked her to marry him. She had about said yes, but then they gat in his fight. They had agreed yesterday that their fight never happened. They just wanted to forget about it and go on like they use to.
'I'm going to Arram down for a nap.' She told Numair.
'O.k.' Numair said. His eyes got worried when he saw that she was hurt. He stopped her. 'Are you all right?'
'Yah, I'm fine.' She said in a quiet voice. She turned and walked away before he could say anything else.
Kaddar saw that some how he had hurt her some how. He watched as Numair walked after her and stopped her. He brushed Hair form her face. Kaddar moved closer to hear what he was saying to her.
'Magelet, what's wrong?' He asked.
'I'm just tired. So is Arram.' Her voice was rising.
'Daine, please, tell me.' He said gently. He was running his hands through her hair to sooth her.
'I don't want to talk about it.' She whispered.
'Well you're not leaving until you do.' He replied.
'Kaddar thinks that you really don't love me and you only wants to bed me. And that Arram was a mistake.' She said. A single tear ran down her cheek.
'Oh, Daine.' He said gently. 'I love you and Arram with all my heart. You two are the most important thing in the world to me. I still want to marry you.' Daine looked up at him. "So will you?' He asked.
'You don't think it will be a mistake?' she asked. Diane had spent to long praying that things would work out in Tortall and she wouldn't have to run away again.
'Never.' He whispered
'Yes.' She said.
'Yes what?' he teased.
'Yes I'll marry you master mage.' She said with a smile. Numair kissed her.
'Why don't you two go take a nap. I'll bring you something to eat later.' Daine nodded and Numair kissed her again.
"I love you.' She whispered.
'I love you too, magelet.' He replied.
