Crossed Paths
Disclaimer- nothing in this story is mine! It's all Tammy's so it if sucks blame her. hehe
O and this is set right after lioness rampant when george and alanna announce their betrothal.
Coram looked around. Where was his beloved when he needed her. Alanna and George had just announced their engagement, and he needed someone to talk to. Of course maybe it wouldn't be a great idea to talk to the cousin of his future son-in-law. Son in law? Coram she's not ur daughter,"a voice in his head told him. Yes, but she's like a daughter to me.
A sound behind him broke his thoughts, " Coram, are you okay?"
He turned around, "Sure lass, I always knew you and the thief might get bethrothed, but it still comes as a shock to an old man."
She gave him a scowling look, "Coram you're not old."
"Sure I ain't."
"If you were why would Rispah love you then?"
"Because my love doesn't care about those things."
Alanna looked at him with searching eyes, "Coram, go and find Rispah. I'm sure she'll comfort you better than I could." With that she left leaving Coram all alone.
He stood there for a second before deciding that he should go look for Rispah rather then go after Alanna. Before he could move one step, he saw the person he'd been waiting for.
"I've been looking for ye," he told her.
"Well I was waiting for you to come and find me. I knew you'd want to talk," Rispah told him once she caught up to him.
"How do you feel about this?" he asked her.
"About Alanna and George's betrothal?" Coram nodded his head. "Well I'm delighted with it. It's about time my cousin got a wife."
"Yes, but I'm worried. He knows about her previous affairs."
"With Jonathon and Liam? Yeah he knows about them, and it broke his heart too. I've never seen George look that glum. But he knew in his heart that she would come to him, and she did."
"But wouldn't he worry that she was just going to him because all her pr'vious affairs ended. You know Liam dying, and Jonathon being an ass."
"Coram you think too much."
"Aye that I do."
"Well, the thought may have crossed his mind, but I surely doubt that he believes such nonsense." She looked at him,"Do you think that's why she's marrying him?
"No, it's just that.... I don't know."
"Coram, is something troubling you about this betrothal?," she asked.
"No, I'm just worried about how Jon's going to act. I believe our King still loves her."
"That's very well true. Your Lioness is a wonderful woman. Many a man would be sad to see her go." Rispah sighed.
"That she is, but I know a certain man who would be very unhappy if you were to leave his side." Coram grinned at her.
"You big lug, you still love me after all of those bars you have been to with all those pretty ladies? And after all this time?" Rispah's eyes were turning wet.
"Did you ever think I'd stop?"
"No. Never."
Coram leaned in for a kiss, which Rispah gladly accepted.
"Now tell me about the losses in the thief war?" Coram interrupted.
"What!? The thief war? You'd rather talk then do something?" Rispah asked.
"No, not really."
Rispah grinned mischeviously, " Well then let's talk."
Coram gave her a death look, which made his love let out a laugh.
"Let's walk and talk, " he suggested planning to walk straight towards his tent.
So should I continue? Or is it fine just the way it is? I don't know!? Help! So many ideas! So many voices! Stop the voices!*covers face with hands* ahhhhh!
