"my breasts are going to freeze at this rate" Hawke said quietly to herself causing Guinevere to let out a small laugh. "yea laugh it up just wait" Hawke then rolled over and pulled her blanket closer and saw that snow had began to fall slightly.

It had been a few days since Hawke was in the wagon and she was starting to feel claustrophobic, she wanted to get up and go outside ride a horse do something besides sit in the wagon. Hawke then went and sat up in the wagon and pulled her blanket down and some of her shirt and ran her fingers over her branded skin that had scared but was still tender.

"you know if you can give everyone a show if you keep doing that" a voice said causing Hawke to raise her shirt back up and look up "not that I minded the view"

Hawke realized it was Tristan and shook her head with a quiet laugh and looked to see Guinevere sleeping and Lucan sleeping as well and Dagonet was absent.

"secretly I think you go and peep at women dressing" Hawke said "your very sneaky" this just caused Tristan to smirk as he moved closer to Hawke as she shivered and pulled her blanket closer and Tristan motioned for her to lean forward and he went and sat behind her and pulled her against his chest.

"how long was I gone" Hawke asked Tristan as she snuggled against his warmth

"almost 3 weeks, we lost you in the woods when the Woads caught us by surprise" Tristan said "we thought they had captured you, spent days looking we only found your horse but you were nowhere to be seen"

'so they think I started the trip with them' Hawke though to herself "at least I am back now" she said out loud "but I will tell you I am about to go insane if I stay in this wagon any longer" this caused Tristan to chuckle

"you aren't going to leave till your arm is healed" Tristan said and ran his hand over Hawke's injured arm "Dagonet said you almost broke it"

"it doesn't hurt that much Tristan, it happened a week or so ago when I punched the priest then slipped and landed on a large stone" Hawke said

"that's my girl" Tristan said as he slipped out from behind Hawke "I guess you can ride if you are careful and Dagonet says it's okay" he then pointed to outside the carriage "he has been following the carriage since you got in"

Hawke looked and saw Rancon and smiled "he's a good horse" she said and noticed Tristan was at the entrance of the wagon and threw a tunic at her

"so your breasts don't freeze" he said with a smirk causing Hawke to go red in the face and buried it in the tunic causing him to let out a laugh and then he jumped back on his horse.

"I can't believe he heard that" Hawke mumbled to herself and took a deep breath and realized that it was Tristan's tunic because it smelt like him, Hawke let out a smile and then looked back up and saw that Guinevere was near the back of the wagon talking to Lancelot "rain and snow" Hawke then got up and joined Guinevere and stuck her hand out and let it cover her hand and vaguely heard Arthur said that they were stopping for the night in the woods.

Marius' wife helped both Hawke and Guinevere bath, and unknowing to Hawke but Lancelot decided to watch for a few until after Hawke's bath, it was Guinevere's turn and she looked up and caught him. Soon they were both in clean clothes and Guinevere got Hawke into a dress after she talked with Lancelot and gently took her uninjured hand and pulled her towards the woods with a smile.

"now wait here" Guinevere said with a smile "he's following you" and before Hawke could ask who she was off walking more and disappeared from sight.

"I need to learn how to do that" Hawke said with a chuckle and then decided to look around as some light snow was falling. She stopped and placed a hand on a nearby tree and began walking around the tree when she felt a hand on her waist and was about to react when she smelt Tristan "you really need to not sneak up on me" she then turned and faced him.

"you just make it so easy" Tristan said "you should mind your surrounding" and with that he was able to back Hawke to a tree where he trapped her.

"but you're so distracting" Hawke said with a smile and put her good arm around his neck and gently played with his arm with her wrapped injured arm. "so if I am to mind my surrounding you need to not be so distracting"

"or you learn to ignore" he said as Hawke stroked his tattoos on his cheek with her hand and Tristan took a step further towards her so they were almost completely touching with their bodies.

"Tristan" Hawke said and stopped her movements as she pondered what to say "aren't you afraid that one day I won't be here like I will go back to where I came from?"

Tristan was silent for a moment before speaking "I thought you had already gone back, when we lost you, it made me very sad" Tristan then paused for another moment "but you didn't and unless it happens I am not going to worry about it"

Hawke kept a silent laugh to herself and smiled at Tristan "you don't worry much unless you are fighting Saxons or Woads"

"exactly" Tristan said and then kissed Hawke on the mouth and leaned the rest of the way so she was trapped against the tree.

Hawke momentarily broke the kiss "you are aware if you start something now someone is going to interrupt because we are suppose to be fleeing the Saxons" Hawke said with a smirk and kissed him

"when we get back I am locking you in my room" Tristan said and kissed Hawke one last time and then disappeared just as Guinevere showed up again.

"have a good talk" she said with a smile

"oh hush" Hawke said as they walked back to the camp and both went and laid down for the night. Early in the morning Hawke hear a noise and woke up and saw that Marius was up to something and gently shook Guinevere and saw a bow close to her and took it as Guinevere awoke.

Hawke put her finger to her lips as Guinevere took the other bow that was close and they saw Marius take Lucan and threaten him with a knife. Before he had a chance to threaten the boy more Hawke knocked and arrow and shot right for Marius and it landed in his chest and he fell backwards and she and Guinevere walked forward with their bows at the ready.

"see you have gotten better with a bow birdie" Lancelot said as he walked over with his swords

"thanks" Hawke said and looked around camp and saw his guards still had their swords drawn

"you help or you die" Arthur said with a smile and the guards began to drop their swords and Jols picked them up, so Hawke and Guinevere put down their bows just as Tristan came back.

"there close" he said and threw a cross bow "they are armor piercing"

"how many you kill" Bors asked Tristan

"four" he replied "we have to go"

"pack up" Arthur ordered and everyone began to pack up.

Rancon trotted over to Hawke and nudged her and Hawke smiled and realized that the saddle was missing and all Rancon had was his halter "guess its bareback" Hawke said and put the bow on her back and jumped up on Rancon and patted him "good boy"

"don't fall off birdie" Lancelot said as he rode over "if you fall the Saxons might get you"

"oh I won't it's all in the legs" Hawke said with a smile "its like if I ever had an incline to ride someone, you just tighten your legs and move with the motion below you" Hawke let out a chuckle as she left a silenced Lancelot behind her.

A few more hours passed and they soon came upon a frozen lake and they were all off of their horses trying to get across and as they were heading across the ice could be heard cracking and it was making all of the horses nervous. Arthur was a head and suddenly he stopped and turned back and faced everyone and they all began to hear the Saxons drums in the distance drawing closer.

"knights" he said and looked at them all

"well I'm tired of running" Bors said "these Saxons are so close behind my ass is hurting"

"never liked looking over my shoulder anyway" Tristan said and then looked at Dagonet and he just let out a small smirk

"be a pleasure to put an end to this racket" Gawain said

"finally get to look at the bastards" Galahad said

"here" Dagonet said walking with his horse "now"

Lancelot just looked at Arthur and Arthur began to call for Jols.

Hawke and Guinevere looked at each other and both of them smirked

"can't let the boys have all the fun" Guinevere said and Hawke nodded and they heard the last part of Arthur and Ganis conversation

"your 7 against 200" he said

"9" Guinevere said as both her and Hawke walked forward "you guys can use another bow"

"can't let you have all the fun" Hawke said as she walked over to where everyone else is and ended up standing next to Tristan and she took the bow off of her back.

"you look frightened" Lancelot said "there a large number of lonely men out there" as he side glanced at Guinevere

"don't worry I won't let them rape you" she said and Hawke let out a loud laugh causing everyone to look at her

"sorry" she said trying to hold in her laugh "I'm good" after a moment she could feel Tristan's gaze on her "why are you looking at me like that"

"you should have gone with everyone else" he said

"I have gotten better Tristan" Hawke said "don't worry, maybe the ice will break and they will fall in"

"one can only hope" Tristan said as they turned and saw the Saxons.

Hawke momentarily closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as she breathed in the cool air and exhaled just as Arthur told Bors and Tristan to give the Saxons an invitation. Tristan being Tristan, as Bors let go 1 arrow he had to let out 3 at the same time.

"sometimes I wonder if you do that to make everyone else feel incompetent" Hawke said after he shot the arrows.

Tristan just smirked at Hawke and loaded another arrow and they began firing at the flanks to get them to cluster. Hawke was doing pretty good, she had managed to hit almost everyone of her arrows into a Saxon.

"move back" Arthur said as they realized the ice wasn't breaking.

Just as they were moving back Dagonet took his axe and rushed forward

"Dagonet!" Bors yelled

"cover him!" Arthur said

Hawke began firing and then soon took off running after Dagonet and fired her bow as she ran "Dagonet! What are you doing" she yelled at him and saw him trying to break the ice.

She saw an arrow was heading straight for Dagonet and pushed him out of the way and it barely missed Hawke's face but left a long bloody cut "chop faster!" Hawke then began to hit the ice with her dagger as well to break the ice as Dagonet got him with an arrow and then with one final swing he broke the ice, and shortly fell in face first into the water.

"Dagonet!" Hawke called and went head first to get him and felt someone grab her legs just as she grabbed Dagonet and felt someone else grab him and they both pulled him out and began pulling him backwards.

Hawke and Arthur pulled Dagonet back near everyone else. Guinevere let out one more arrow towards the Saxons as Bors ran over to Dagonet.

"stay with me Dagonet" Bors said

"we need to get him warm" Hawke said and heard hooves and saw Rancon running over "get him on and we need to start a fire and get him out of the wet clothes" Arthur and Bors got Dagonet on the Rancon and Bors got on behind Dagonet as they all hurried off the ice and into the woods. Jols had put their horses in the woods with blankets and Hawke went and took all the blankets at Lancelot made a fire and Guinevere went to get more wood.

"Bors get him out of the wet clothes" Hawke said "but first I have to take the arrow out" Hawke then took her dagger and and cut off the feather end of the arrow and began pushing it through causing Dagonet to cry out in pain "I'm sorry Dag" she then pulled it out the other side and Bors took off his tunic as Hawke dressed the wound "cover him in blankets" and Bors nodded in response and Gawain and Galahad helped him. Arthur and Guinevere were talking and gathering some food as Lancelot helped them.

Hawke walked a little away and shivered as she took off her tunic and hung it next to the second fire Lancelot made not far from Dagonet. Hawke bare skin caused her skin to get covered in goosebumps and she pulled a blanket around her as she took off her pants as well and placed them next to the fire as well. She then sat next to the fire with her back to everyone so she opened the blanket a little to let the heat from the fire warm her bare skin.

"you should take care of your injury" Tristan said walking over to Hawke as she closed the blanket in front of her.

"its fine" Hawke said "just a scratch" and she heard Tristan sit down next to her and felt his hand on her face and turned it to face him.

"that was stupid what you did" he said to her "you could have gotten killed"

"I couldn't let Dagonet go alone" Hawke said as she shivered again

"you're going to freeze" Tristan said and picked Hawke up and placed her on his lap with her legs around his waist and her chest to his chest with her back to the fire as they sat on the ground. Tristan then opened the blanket and wrapped it around him as well and brought Hawke closer to his body. "you need more than just a fire"

Hawke couldn't speak at the moment because she was naked, sitting on Tristan with him pressed right up against her, about 50 feet from everyone else and she could feel Tristan's hands on her hips.

"I was perfectly fine" Hawke managed to mumble out ignoring and failing at Tristan's hands rubbing up and down her bare thighs. "it was just going to take a little time"

"you will get warmer this way" Tristan said to Hawke as his hands began to slightly travel on the inner part of her legs, and then they moved their way up to her sides, then gently past the sides of her breasts and back down along her spine and started again at her hips. "Can't have you freeze"

Hawke was about to respond when Tristan kissed her neck and kissed her in a spot that caused an instant moan. Tristan smirked against Hawke's neck as he heard her quietly moan; his hands moved to Hawke's back and her neck and moved her neck so he had more room. Hawke had opened Tristan's shirt and was running her hands up his chest and felt some scars that rested on his body. Hawke had began to trail her hands lower so they played with the rim of Tristan pants which made him gently bite into Hawke neck and her rub her lower body against Tristan's. Tristan moved his lips from Hawke neck to her lips as Hawke helped him out of his tunic and Hawke was against the ground with Tristan pressed between her legs in matter of seconds.

Tristan trailed one of his hands down Hawke's side and rested on the curve of her hip as Hawke was attempting to remove his pants while kissing him causing Tristan to let out a small chuckle and he broke the kiss and removed them and readjusted the blanket so it covered them against the cold. As soon as Tristan was done Hawke wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him to her causing them to both let out an airy moan. Tristan then once again attacked Hawke's neck as his free hand decided to go and take care of Hawke's neglected breasts. He began to message them with his hands and could feel Hawke's body react as she arched her back and let out more quiet moans which got him even more excited, and his hand that rested on her hip slid down her leg and locked it more around his waist as he teased her by gently rubbing against her and caused her to move back.

Hawke's hands had made it into Tristan's hair as he once against found his way to her lips and as soon as their lips met he stopped teasing her and entered her causing Hawke to let out a gasp to allow Tristan to kiss her deeper. Soon they were both moving with each other and Tristan had tucked his head into Hawke's shoulder and with each thrust his breathe would tickle her neck causing a shiver to run down her body which caused her to arch her body and allowing Tristan deeper inside.

No words were spoken, only the quiet sound of panting could be heard along with the movement that took place under the blanket and the soft moans. Skin was on skin, as close as it ever could get. After what seemed like hours Hawke and Tristan were laying under the blanket with Hawke resting on Tristan's chest and his arm around her waist.

"I can't believe we just did that when the other could hear us" Hawke said and buried her head in Tristan chest

"probably did" Tristan said and gently ran his hand up and down Hawke's back and then looked at Hawke as she looked at him "atleast your warm now"

Hawke just looked at Tristan for a moment "I hate you" this caused Tristan to smirk because he knew he was right.
