A Kiss:
Luckily for Daine the small group got back to Pirates Swoop a day before Numair did. Unluckily for Daine there was a letter waiting for her that said simply-
Next time, magelet, would you mind telling me before go undercover. I'll talk to you when I get home.
Numair.
Daine knew she was in trouble. Though she could always find ways to make him more interested in other things that what he was going to yell at her for. One of the many reasons that she was wearing her cream colored low cut dress. It usually annoyed her when all he did was try to look down her dress, but this time it seemed like a good idea. She stood there watching the mage, who seemed more interested in George's speech than in her. For once.
Daine found that she also has something to hold against her husband. He didn't just go south to a town; he went to Carthak. Varice was standing next to him, also trying to get his attention. With no luck I might add, Daine thought. When all the speeches and everything else was done Daine walked up to her husband, who was standing alone looking at the delegation.
'Are you still mad at me?' she asked with a small pouted face.
'You hate that dress.' he said with out looking at her.
'You don't.' she said with a small smile. Her smile faded when he looked down at her with one eyebrow raised. 'Are you?' she asked again.
'I don't know. How do you intend on making two weeks of nothing but worrying up to me?' he wasn't happy.
'I'm sorry.' She whispered. 'I knew-'
'That I wasn't going to be happy but you did it anyway.' He said looking away from her again.
Daine stood on her tipsy toes (AN: yes, tipsy toes. Leave it alone.) and whispered something in his ear(AN: you may fill in what ever you want.). A small crooked smile appeared on Numair's Face.
'You win.' He said. Numair put his arm around her and led her back to the group of people standing on the beach. * * * * * * * * * * * *
Sense the weather was so nice the next day, Daine got her bath stuff while Numair was at a meeting and took a bath in a stream in the woods. Daine loved to do this because she was doing three of her favorite things at the same time. Talking to animals, taking a bath, and being outside. As she was rinsing her hair of her lotion she heard movement.
'Numair.' She called.
'Daine.' Someone called. It definitely wasn't Numair.
'One minute Kaddar.' She called.
Daine got dressed quickly and tied up her hair. When she walked out form behind the trees Kaddar was standing there. He was dressed simply in a shirt and breeches.
'What were you doing?' he asked.
'Taking a bath.' She said. A small blush came to her cheeks.
'Oh.' Kaddar said embarrassed. 'Out here? Why?'
'Yah.' Diane moved the tree branches to reveal a small waterfall surrounded by flowers. Some birds chirped and flew down to greet Daine. Her towel and bath things were lying on the rocks surrounding the waterfall.
'Wow.' Kaddar said awed.
'That's why.' She said with a smile. 'What are you doing out her?'
'I've never been inside woods before. I thought it would be fun.' He shrugged.
'Would you like some company?' she asked.
'Sure.' He said brightly.
'Follow me.'
They spent most of the time just wandering around and playing with the animals that came to see Daine. Kaddar was surprised by all the animals she knew by name. And by all the ones that gave her things like nuts and herbs. She's so beautiful, Kaddar thought. (AN: Uh oh.)
'What's wrong?' She asked
'Hm?' He replied.
'You're being quiet.' She giggled.
'Oh, nothing's wrong. Every things just so beautiful.' He said in awe. Especially you, he thought to himself. 'Daine?' he asked. I think I'll take my chances, he thiught.
Daine looked up at him and when she did he kissed her. Daine was completely socked by the kiss. She had invited him to the wedding. He didn't go though, she reminded herself, he was in the southern part of the country and refused to do anything that didn't have anything to do with the people of Carthak. Daine pulled away regaining her senses.
'Kaddar.' She whispered. He tried to kiss her again. 'Kaddar' she said louder.
'What.' He asked unhappily.
'I thought you knew.'
'Knew what?' he asked.
'I sent you an invitation.' She was just talking to her self now.
'Daine, to what?' he said breaking her thoughts.
'Kaddar I'm married.' She said gently.
'Oh. I best be off then.' He said. Kaddar turned and left quickly.
'Kaddar.' She called softly. Only half of her wanted him to hear her.
