Finally got back to posting some chapters again! I'm so sorry about the sudden vanishing act, real life came barreling through my life at high speeds. I'll be labeling the smut parts for those who either wish to skip them or for those who only want to read that part. Whatever tickles your pickle. As per the norm, I own nothing aside from Eviciana and Thel'amer. Some reviews would be lovely if any can spare some time. Suggestions for later chapters are always always welcome as well. Do enjoy! (This will be a rather short chapter since it's late at night here but I promise to post a REAL chapter tomorrow night!)/p

As morning arrives, Thel'amer groans and opens his eyes, a raging headache pounding in his head as he looks around with a fuzzy mind. Pulling his armour on slowly and with a great deal of effort, he steps out of the tent with a grunt as he drags his body to where he smells food cooking. Returning to the tents of his company, his soldiers look at him curiously and whisper quietly. "Ah…um…Commander?" one soldier speaks up tentively, "What?" Thel'amer growls through the pounding headache and stares the man down. "I uh….do you have a hangover sir?" the soldier seems visibly shaken by the growly tone of his commander. "Yes. I do." Thel'amer grunts as he rubs his head visibly, "Well sir, I can get you some breakfast and some water and perhaps a healer to relieve the headache." He says nervously as Thel'amer looks up and places on hand on the soldier's shoulder. "That….would be great, bring me the mercenary healer though. Go find her if she's not here but I want her in my tent as soon as possible. Understood?" he growls as the soldier salutes quickly, "Yes sir!" The soldier takes off running as Thel'amer makes his way to his tent and sits down, rubbing his temples as a large plate of food is set down on the table.

Picking at it sparingly, Thel'amer rubs his forehead slowly before a commotion is heard outside and he stands to look outside his tent. Seeing the soldier from before riding up on his hawkstrider, Eviciana sits behind him with her arms wrapped tightly around the man's waist as she looks terrified with wide eyes and heavy breathing. Thel'amer looks worried himself as he quickly strides up next to the bird, "Are you alright Eviciana?" he reaches out to take her off the hawkstrider and looks at the soldier who seems to be chuckling quietly under his breath and shoots him a look. The soldier tries to stop chuckling and has to look straight at the ground to cease the small amusement he was getting. Eviciana holds onto Thel'amer's arms as he lifts her off the back of the bird gently and sets her onto the ground in front of him, "What happened?" he growls out at the soldier as he looks Eviciana up and down quickly. Eviciana's teeth chatter as she looks up at Thel'amer and speaks, "Those damn birds….they scare the hell out of me. They aren't sturdy…I swear." She shivers and frowns at the bird as Thel'amer sighs a sigh of relief and shakes his head with a soft chuckle as he places on hand on the small of Eviciana's back and ushers her into his tent, dismissing the soldier with a wave of his hand. The soldier chuckles again as he rides off and seems to be just tickled with scaring the hell out of Eviciana.

Thel'amer follows her inside his tent as she stops shivering and plops herself down in his chair, helping herself to the meal he was just picking at listlessly. Stuffing her face she looks up at Thel'amer who steps up next to her sitting, "I have a headache." He mumbles quietly. "Could you help me…and I might help you in return?" he smirks under the shadow of his helm as his fingers trail over her jawline and down her collarbone softly. With a heavy gulp of her mouthful of food, Eviciana looks at him blankly before grinning, "I suppose I could assist the Commander with his headache troubles just this once…." She looks at the rest of his food and holds one finger up to him before scarfing the rest down quickly. Wiping her mouth she turns to him and nods, "Right! Onto fixing your poor pounding head…" she grins as she pushes his shoulders gently for him to sit down on the chair. Her fingertips running up and down the sides of his face soothingly as her palms glow softly with a light, white aura. The pounding headache begins to fade slowly until it was gone completely, pulling a relieved sigh from Rusicon's lips and causing him to hold Eviciana's hand against his cheek with a content smile. "Now….when would you like your payment?" he rumbles softly as his fingers graze past her hip and down the inside of her thigh.

~Smut~

Eviciana grins as she steps back from him and pushes the plates off the table; leaning over the table, Eviciana shimmies her pants down with a grin and shakes her ass at him. Groaning quietly, Thel'amer stands and quickly runs his plated fingers over her ass, softly massaging and squeezes the soft skin there. Wrapping his hands around her hips, he pulls her down against his hips with a groan before he releases her for a moment; the sound of his plated fingers unfastening his belt and greaves is heard before Eviciana feels his warm, thick cock pushed up behind her against her ass. His cold plate fingers continue to massage and slide along her legs and hips before the tip of his cock slides up against her wet folds, pulling a whimper from Eviciana as her hips push back against his but are held forward by his hands firmly. "Shhhh…be a good girl and wait for it…" he whispers to her softly as she huffs and nods, "Yes sir." She mumbles as Thel'amer softly hums with pleasure. As he continues to softly tease her by rubbing the tip back and forth against her, he squeezes her hips as he feels her wetness coating him. With one slow, smooth motion, Thel'amer slides his thick cock into her tight, wet self and groans quietly as his hips meet her ass. "I'd find something to bite onto my dear….because you're about to get fucked hard." He whispers to her in a soft, husky voice. Eviciana whimpers softly as she bites her lower lip and looks back at Thel'amer, who grins and rubs her ass gently before looking down and gripping her hips. With quick, deep thrusts, Thel'amer groans as he slams into her over and over again, making Eviciana flinch slightly with each thrust. Each time she flinches, her folds tighten around his cock, urging him to fuck her harder with each buck of his hips against hers. Finally after some time, Thel'amer raises one hand up high and brings it down on her pale, white ass, causing her to yelp loudly and Thel'amer's hand to quickly cover her mouth with a growl, "Hush…" he growls angrily right behind her ear as Eviciana nods slowly with a quiet whimper. Thel'amer continues to fuck her hard and with his soft moans, he squeezes Eviciana's hips tightly as he spills his cum inside her tight pussy, thrusting a few more times slowly as he milks the last of his hot cum inside of her. Breathing heavily, he leans over Eviciana with panting breathes against the back of her neck before his cock slides out of her and he fastens his greaves and belt once more. Rubbing the bright red handprint on Eviciana's ass, he grins and leans over to kiss it gently before tugging her pants up as well with a sharp yank of his wrist. Eviciana wrinkles her nose with a grin as she turns around and sits on the table, grinning up at him, "You still owe me my payment later….not to say that wasn't fun and all…." She smirks mischievously as Thel'amer leans forward with slightly heavy breaths and kisses her tenderly, "I'm sorry but I just couldn't help myself just now. I needed to fuck you so badly.

~End Smut~

He grins as he kisses her again and helps her off the table, the two of them ducking out the back of the tent with soft laughs as they aimed to circle around the camp and sneak Eviciana back to her little group. As the two of them are walking hand in hand, the sound of a stick snapping is heard as well as metal on metal as a dagger is sunk into Eviciana's back and she slumps forward onto the ground with wide eyes as Thel'amer stares horrified at her. Spinning on his heel, Thel'amer snatches up a human Alliance spy by the neck, holding him high up over his head before slamming the human down onto the ground hard, the sound of the human's spine snapping as the body goes limp in Thel'amer's hands. Breathing heavily and looking around with a panicked expression, Thel'amer turns and kneels next to Eviciana's body as he touches her face gently and gauges the dagger in her back. As he is preoccupied with Eviciana's body, a presence behind his back causes him to spin around, ready to kill anyone else who might get within arms reach of him only to have what appears to be a smokebomb explode in his face. Coughing and breathing in the acrid air, he looks around angrily for who threw it at him as his arms and legs begin to grow heavy and his eyelids begin closing as if of their own accord. Falling to his knees, he seems vaguely aware of several bodies approaching his and speaking in rough common before he feels ropes wrap around his wrists and legs and he blacks out, seeing the blank, bloodied face of Eviciana staring into space before his eyes shut.
