Notes: Just a short chapter to break it up abit!
When Elsa finally woke up from her near death experience, she found herself laying comfortably on the side of a log, in which it seemed to be in the middle of a mountain range, a truly wonderful sight to behold as she saw the sky darkening with unwelcomed clouds.
"You're awake" she heard a familiar voice say "How are you feeling?"
"Much better…though I can't really remember all that happened" she answered then looked around herself and add "Where are all your men?"
"They died, well they got killed" replied Septimus
"Oh, I'm so sorry. It wasn't my fault, was it?" asked Elsa
"No, no. If it was anyone's fault it was mine but there's nothing to be done about that" he explained
Elsa sat back and thought and then mumbled "You saved my life, didn't you?"
"Ah, I see your memory is coming back" remarked the prince
"I was drowning, I was sure I would be gone, then I felt you in the darkness then felt the air on my face once again, how can I ever thank you?" she remembered
"There is no need to thank me" he replied, then his eyes looked filled with sadness as he carried on "And you are free to go, with my men dead, no one will ever no I had a prisoner so I will not be seen as weak, though in all honestly, I hope you would stay"
Elsa remembered once again the laws of the stars in her mind, and even if she wanted to go she knew she could not as she knew she had to stay with him as he had saved her life so she would have to. But she did not see this as a completely bad thing overall, as she was begininning to grow fond of him as she replied "I will stay"
The prince seemed stunned with her answer as after all he had put her through he well expected her to be well on her way now.
"You don't have to, I don' want to force you or anything" he mumbled
"No, I really do want to stay with you" she smiled but then realised what she had said and corrected "I mean, because I know you're find the star without a doubt, I didn't mean it like…"
Septimus then exclaimed over her explanation "You know, that's the first time I've ever seen you smile"
"Is it?" she questioned, feeling a little blushed.
"Not like you had reason to smile at all, all that I made you go through. I am sorry" he muttered as he could not believe what he was saying, it was so unlike him as he begun to wonder what had become of himself, and hoped that the change in him would not put his mind of his mission or mess it up.
"You don't have to be sorry, it's what had to be done" assured Elsa
All of a sudden, little droplets of rain started to fall from all over the sky, landing onto the both of them, after they had just finally gotten dry after the lake incident.
"Ah, I hate the rain! It always blocks the view" Elsa accidently slipped out, referring to when she was a star in the sky. She remembered that every time in would rain, it always blocked their view of the world below so they hoped it to go away soon as it means they had noting to gaze at or to talk about but luckily Septimus did not catch on to her strange remark as he walked over to her side and sat down, taking off his long riding cloak and placed it both over them, making them have to sit so close to each other as he replied "Here, then let me block it from you"
