A Long Conversation...
Oh yes, and some of the characters may be a little OOC, i apologize ahead of time, I just needed to get some a/j in here for some certain reviewers...*cough* Cherry-Alanna *cough*
"Put your head between your knees." Daine suggested to an almost fainting Alanna.
Alanna did so to find that it worked. She was able to hold her faint.
"Thank you. Where did you learn that?"
Daine blushed. "Well...you taught me."
Suddenly Alanna was reminded of why she almost fainted in the first place.
The red head went between to shaky knees once again.
"I'm sorry Alanna. I didn't mean to scare you or anything."
"It's alright."
"Maybe if we talked about it, you'd feel better. You probably don't have much female contact, or conversation. But with the ladies around here, I wouldn't blame you." Daine added as an afterthought.
"That...that sound great." Alanna told Daine, almost relieved to be able to talk to a sensible girl.
At that moment a sleepy Kitten stretched her way out from under the bed, where she ahd been sleeping for almost two days.
"Kitten! You finally decided to make an entrance?" Daine smiled as her dragon-child trilled and cooed, then rubbed her scaly head against Daine's leg.
"Why don't you go say hello to Numair?" Daine asked her charge.
Kitten ambled over to Numair and grabbed his pant leg, a new gesture she learned to ask to be picked up.
Numair bent the down and picked up the dragon, scratching her lightly.
"Numair, could you...?" Daine asked her gentle giant.
Numair smiled. "Certainly."
He walked over to Daine in two strides, kissed her head, and walked out the door, Kitten still in his arms.
Daine smiled slightly to herself.
Alanna noticed this and decided that she would take advantage of this girl-to-girl talk to ask some questions.
After all Daine had said that they knew each other...but how good of friends were they in the future?
Daine?" Alanna asked, bringing Daine back to the present...or past to be exact.
"Oh, sorry. What would you like to talk about?"
"Well, I was wondering...Are we friends in the future?"
Daine smiled. "Yes, we are friends and good ones if I do say so myself."
"I was just wondering. So you are comfortable answering my questions and talking with me?"
"Yes, of course! You can ask whatever...except about specifc things about your future. that would ruin the fun for you."
"That's fine by me. I was wondering though...about you...and him." Alanan jerked her head towards the door that Numair had just used to exit.
Daine blushed deeply and cleared her throat.
"Well. He was my teacher and then we became really good friends. One day, when we were uh, traveling, I fell off a cliff."
Alanna raised her eyebrows.
Daine blushed more. "He got grabbed by some rock creature and I stepped back to shoot the thing with my bow when the ledge I was on crumbled beneath me." Daine explained. "I fell into a river and when I got out of it I was really disoriented. I stepped right into a spidren trap."
"Spidrens? They sound familiar."
"Spidrens are large spiders with human heads."
"I remember Myles telling us about them." Alanna shuddered a little.
"Well, I was stuck in their webs. I tried shape shifting to no avail. Then the spidrens came. Three of them. Just as the spidrens were deciding on my fate Numair came and killed them all."
Alanna smiled at the look on Daine's face as she told the story.
"Numair I guess thought I was dead, so when I climbed out of the trap he was really happy to see me. We hugged and then, well...we've been together ever since."
Alanna smiled as she thought of her own romance, the way Jon was with her.
Feeling a bit of a blush creeping up, Alanna bowed her head slightly.
Yet this did nothing to help the blush escape Daine's attention.
Daine saw now maybe was a time to seek a little revenge for the embarassment she had just suffered.
"And what of your love life Alanna? Hmmm?" Daine asked slyly, allowing herself a small smile of victory when Alanna's blush deepened.
Alanna had only now become a little more comfortable with the situation between her and Jon.
She wasn't sure whetehr she would be able to talk about it yet.
Alanna looked at Daine, ready to dispute anything.
But when Alanna saw the friendly trust in the girl's eyes, something pulled at her.
She felt as if she knew this girl, somewhere else, some other time.
Briefly she contemplated the fact that in the future she knew Daine and maybe that's why she seemed so familiar.
Alanna shook herself from these thoughts.
If she continued to think about them she would get a amssive headache.
She didn't want to hear more things from Daine that she herself had said, but had no recollection of saying.
"There is someone. I care about him a lot." Alanna began.
"And who might that be?" Daine prodded, preparing to hear George's name.
"Jon."
"What?" Daine asked, shocked.
She had heard that once Alanna and Jon had been lovers when Alanna was his squire, but had dismissed this as court rumors.
To hear, from Alanna nonetheless, that this was true was very shocking.
"You didn't know?" Alanna asked, confused.
"I never asked you about it." Daine replied.
"So that means...I'm not with Jon in the future?"
"I never said that! Let's just steer clear of that for awhile. Tell me about you and Jon." Daine said, wishing to not reveal anything to Alanna.
"Alright." Alanna said, clearing her head of the perplexities of her future.
"He first kissed me after I was injured in the war with Tusaine. Then on my seventeenth birthday he told me he loved me and that we belonged together."
Alanna's mind returned to that fateful day.
She could remember the way Jon's hands felt on her skin, the longing she felt for him.
The way she felt safe in his arms and the way her lips almost hummed when he kissed her.
She remembered when she told him that she was scared and he said he was scared too.
Then they went to his room and he carressed her and made her feel like she was the only one he could ever love.
They'd been sleepong in the same bed ever since.
Suddenly Alanna couldn't wait for dark to fall. (A/N okay, too much A/J mush here, can't...write...more...:))
"We too have been together ever since." Alanna continued. "It just scares me sometimes because I know he's going to be King, but I don't want to be Queen." Alanna finsihed.
"That would be a scary thought." Daine agreed.
"Oh really?" Alanan asked, starting to laugh
Dainer began to giggle uncontrollably.
The two girls spent the rest of the afternoon laughing and talking.
Having a good time between old friends.
Did you like it? There will be more A/J and A/G in future chapters. The next chapter may take awhile to come out, because I'm not sure where I'm going to go with it yet.
