"Run me through." Arthur commanded as Alana stood in front of him a few feet away with a sword by her side.

"What?" She laughed looking around. They had travelled into the woods so they wouldn't disturb anyone in town.

"Well at least try." He teased a bit. "If I am to teach you I need to see what you got first." He teased again.

"Only if you swear not to judge me... Or laugh." She added taking a tighter grip on the hold of her sword.

Arthur dropped his sword to his side as well. "I swear on every tree in Ealdor." He bowed a bit and she giggled.

Just as Arthur was raising his head from hims bow she lunged at him with a swing and he deflected it just in time to miss his arm. He stumbled back by the force of her swing and looked up in shock as she smiled. She twirled the sword in her hand slowly as she backed off of him.

"How was that?" She asked and he tilted his head a bit.

Arthur could tell she could weald a sword. He smirked and took a swing at her shoulder which she deflected. "Spread your feet a bit more when you step away from a blow." he instructed and she did as he said when he came at her again with another blow. She swung toward him quickly and he jumped out of the way. "Don't bend your wrist so much when you swing. It's easy to break it if you land a good enough hit." She swung again tightening her wrist up. "You didn't really need my help did you?" he asked as he took a light swing to her which she ducked.

"Not really. My father was in the army after all." She said. "I just thought you could use a bit of a distraction." She shrugged as she swung at him again. "Now come on Your Majesty..." She smirked. "Show me what you got." She stood tall lowering her sword a bit.

Arthur smirked and raised his eyebrow. She was so courageous that it made her even more interesting to him. He smirked as she squared off her shoulders and waited for him. He noticed she was able to stand better now that her leg was healing better because of the supplies Gauis had sent.

"We both know we will not be getting much rest. So why not have some fun." She shrugged.

Arthur and Alana sparred for a few minutes. Both of them able to block easy shots. Alana knew he wasn't giving it his all and she appreciated it. She smiled every time he would block on of her blows and look at her. Like she was a piece of artwork that he was trying really hard to understand.

"So is it true?" She asked slowly out of breath as they both still went back and forth swinging and blocking. She however had noticed he was covering more ground. His swings were the ones making her travel.

"Is what true?" he asked.

"That we are all equal. Do you really believe that or is that just for this circumstance?" She asked.

"Would it matter?" he asked.

"It might." She smirked blocking a shot quickly.

"Well seeing as I don't actually have authority here... Makes us pretty equal." he said as he had one more swing sent her way and her back it a tree. He smirked.

"Well good. I couldn't even imagine the sight of the King's face if he saw his son... The future King of Camelot out in the woods with a peasant." she smirked not moving as Arthur seemed to step closer. He seemed to smirk at her words. She tilted her head at him when he did not move away from her. "So?" she asked raising her eye brows. "You got a 'this might be our last night' speeches for me Sire?" she almost whispered.

Arthur slowly lowered his sword to his side and stepped a bit closer to her putting on hand on the three beside her hip. "Somehow I think those speeches would not work on you." his voice lowered as she looked up at him slightly.

She let off a bit of a laugh. "Your right." she said and he smirked and stepped away. "Then again..." she whispered to herself and saw no consequences. She stepped forward quickly and took a hand full of his shirt over his chest and pulled the Prince toward her. He wa surprised by her actions and she could tell. She placed her lips on his lightly. Her kiss only lasted a second because she felt the surprise in his lips and he didn't exactly kiss her back. She pulled away quickly and smiled at him. "I would have hated to die and not done that." she said with a shrug.

Arthur looked at her in shock and couldn't help the smile. Her lips were warm and he didn't want to let her go away with just one stolen kiss. Alana started to walk by him back into town but he put his arm out to stop her beside him. His out reached hand landed on her hip and he turned her into him quickly.

It was almost like she tripped and both her hands landed on his chest. He didn't wait for her to look surprised or say anything. He lowered his head and kissed her again. She breathed in quickly moving her arms around his neck as he backed her up into a tree again.

This kiss was longer and seemed more needy for both of them. He held her tight to his body and she ran a hand through his hair quickly.

"Alana!" Merlin's worried voice came from beyond the tree line. They both pulled their lips apart quickly out of breath. His arms were still around her waist and her still on his shoulders. "Alana!" Merlin called out again.

"Shhh." she looked to Arthur as she stepped away from his hold. "Hold on Merlin! Im coming! I was just looking for berries!" she looked around the tree to see him just down the hill.

"Well hurry up! You shouldn't be out there alone." Merlin waited where he stood.

She smirked feeling the Prince's arm still around her. She turned back behind the tree and looked up at him. She smirked stepping away. "Well thank you for your time Sire." she bowed a bit and smiled. He only nodded to her as she turned and rushed over to Merlin.

Arthur stood alone in the woods for a minute trying ti get his lips to stop buzzing and his head to stop racing. Never in his life had he had a kiss making him actually frozen in his spot.
