Yesterday was busy. We had the Nameday Feast and there was a lot of competitions.
"Ah, so that's why you were too tired to write then?" Tannia paused to glance over at Turan.
He replied with a shrug. "Apparently. I don't remember which one this is yet."
They had an arching contest and I was allowed to play, too. My mum won though, she's even better than Dad with arrows.
Another pause was taken when Tannia snuck a sideways look at Turan, a smug expression on her face.
Turan gave a sigh and smiled. "Yes, yes, you DID get your bloody skills from my mother. Mayhap I should've taken a few more lessons from her. Too caught up in swordplay."
A highly amused smile played across the maid's face. "I didn't enter the last archery competition just so I wouldn't make a fool of you. You know I'm a ridiculously better shot than-"
He pressed a paw to her lips, silencing her. "Okay. Don't need the entire abbey knowing you're a better archer than the resident warrior." He said with a cautious, yet playful air.
Smirking, she returned to the journal.
There was also a race across the whole grounds, that everybody did. I got first place.
When Tannia paused yet again, Turan shook his head and fell back. "Yes ma'am. A smart comment?"
Tannia leaned over him, brushing her paw along his cheek as she adopted an adoring look, also speaking in a soft, soothing tone. "I remember that race, sweetie."
"Mm?"
"I seem to recall it differently," she added. When Turan only looked questioningly at her, she continued. Taking a breath, she repeated something that she remembered being said. "I can't tell who it was that crossed the line first. This race will have to be called a tie. Our winners are Turan Cyano-"
"-and Tannia Fellepian," Turan finished for her, covering his eyes when he shook his head again. "I remember that now. Did I really say that I won?"
When he sat up, she tilted the journal for him to see what he had written so many seasons ago.
He gave a wry smile. "So I did write that. I was so.."
"Egotistical?" She offered, eyes widening innocently. "Selfish? Self-centered? Conceited? St-"
"I think I get it."
"Okay." She smiled.
There was lots of food! Everybeast said there was enough to go around for everybody twice and still there would be some left over. They were probably right.
"As usual," the two hares said in unison. They exchanged smirks before Tannia finished off the entry.
Not much happened today. Everyone was too tired to do anything, so it was just a really quiet day. I didn't spar today either. I think I'm still tired from yesterday, so I'll stop here. Oh wait.. Happy Summer of the Late Bloom.
She blew out as she stared down at the journal for a moment, her gaze unfocused in thought.
"What's on your mind, Tan'?"
She hesitated. "Tell me if this sounds weird," she cautioned. "But have you ever felt like.. when you have your memories and such.. it's as if they never really happened? It's as if I were watching it happen instead of being part of it." She paused, looking at Turan to see his reaction. To his surprise, he nodded.
"I know exactly what you mean. As if it were some dream, right? You know you saw it, and you can see it, but it never really happened," he smiled.
She looked at him curiously. "Exactly! So it's not just me? It's funny, too. You know it happened, and you know it's real.. or was real at one point. But after so long it's just a dream."
"So is that how you feel about all this?"
"Yes," she said softly. "It's just odd remembering it." She laughed. "Your journal has my memories in it."
He smiled, this time he was beckoning her to continue. "Let's see what else we dreamed ten seasons ago."
She nodded, turning the page.

A/N~ I took a long time updating again, hehe. I still haven't even told my brother I've been uploading from his laptop, so shh. Haha, just kidding. I'm having a busy life with Drama and all. I have a little more free time on my hands now that the school play is over. Although I did just make the new upcoming one. XD. Bare with me you guys, I promise I won't abandon this story.
Anyway, these are two of my RPing characters, actually. In a recent RP Turan finally proposed to Tannia! And it was so cute, and sappy.. And yeah.. Lol. Now that I've officially wasted 30 seconds of your life with this note, you may proceed to review my story. Thank you =)
