Into the night

Porstmouth was not a pretty sight at night but Will´s heart was overflown with happiness, his face was brimming with joy, he was as merry as any merry man could be. Djaq was falling asleep by his side while they waited for Allan to return. The port was a dingy place but it smelled just right, he was back in England, everything was perfect.

- It´s good to be back –He said, holding with one arm all their luggage and using the other to cover protectively his wife-to-be. She was leaning against him and his arm was round her shoulders. She opened her eyes and tried to remain awake a little bit longer. The trip had been a real nightmare. The seasickness had almost kill her, she had thrown up more times than any of the other passengers and her face had been so pale than Allan made jokes about Who was "the pale one" now?

- Are you feeling any better? – Will asked, he had been very worried for her, he had never seen her so weak.

- I am fine –She lied, she had a headache, a terrible need to go to the toilet and she was very hungry. But she was also aware of the need to move and reach Sherwood as soon as possible, The king could already be dead, and if he was alive then, there wasn´t that much time left. She could rest and feel better once the king was back in England- Where is Allan?

- He promise to get us a way of transport –Will answered looking at her, trying to find out how was she.

- He have been gone too long, maybe he is in trouble, maybe we should find him and help him –Djaq could feel the vomit coming up again, so she leaned a little bit more on Will´s side, trying to control her body.

- Not being funny, Djaq but you are no longer pale, now you look more like green –Allan appeared with two horses- Like a frog or something.

- Took you long enough –Will glared at him, his remark was not making things easier- Only two? I thought you were a master thief.

- I have reformed –Allan shrugged his shoulders- Besides I thought she was in no shape to ride.

- I can perfectly...- Djaq stopped in mid sentence to run behind a stand to vomit.

- Sure, whatever –Allan looked away- Shall we get going?

- Allan –Will tried to help Djaq. He kneeled by her side and tenderly moved her stiky hair from her face– Are you up to this, my love? You can tell us.

- Ey, I am a jerk, sorry about the green thing –Allan came closer- It´s okay if you do not feel like riding all night long, I could find us a place to sleep some hours.

- Would you like that? – Will´s concerned look made Djaq smile.

- No, it´s just these long days on the ship, I am fine, really –She put her hood back on pat Allan on the arm- Hope that these two are real horses and not donkeys.

- Ey! I have reformed alright but I am not retarded – He protested.

- Let´s go –Will help Djaq so that they two shared one horse and Allan shared his with the luggage- Let´s go back to the forest.

- Let´s go home –Djaq added circling her arms around Will´s back. She leaned her face on his cloak and smelled deeply. The cloth smelled like him, it was a nice, familiar smell, the fragrance of wood and hard work, the smell of love and confidence, and she loved it, just like she loved everything else about him. She rest her cheek on his back, feeling his breathing and let the ride began. At first she was a bit dizzy, but being so close to him, she let his tranquility calm him. He was pure passion under a sea of calmness.

- Don´t fall asleep –Will whispered, trying not too look back in order to loose his stability on the horse.

- I won´t fall –She promise.

- It´s okay –He smiled- I would go back for you.

- Can you stop that? –Allan shouted- I am right here, you know, with you, trying not to listen to all this romantic stuff, but please, stop it.

- Jealous? – Djaq joked.

- Bored, and honestly, you two together, for me it is still weird – Allan said- I know I wasn´t around a lot last year but coming back and finding all this love thing is still weird.

- Shut up, Allan –Will´s voice was firm

- Whatever, just saying. No more romantic nonsense tonight –Allan replied.

- So, what can be talk about then? - Djaq felt better and therefore teasing Allan seemed like a good idea.

- Whatever you want but love stuff - Allan repeated- dresses, horses, food and what not. I don´t care either way as long as it is no fluffy.

- What do you think is Much planning for lunch tomorrow? - Djaq asked, her stomach was fully awake and making stupid noises again.

- Squirrel!!! -The three of them shouted at the same time.

- But he will swear that it is... -Will continued.

- Chicken!!!- The three shouted again and then all of them laughed.

- Silence! -Will made some soothing noises- We don´t want to attract attention.

- Guys, I have really missed you -Allan grinned at them, a happy tear dancing in his eye.
