The way it should be:

Numair sat in Daine's arms and winced. She wasn't being that sweet to him.

'Ow!' He jumped.

'Oh, it's not that bad.' She replied.

Numair's body was covered in burses and cuts that he had received from his two fights with Kaddar. Daine was trying as hard as she could to put on the healing potion ma had given her gently. Numair was only making it that much harder.

'If you would stop fidgeting it won't hurt so much.' Daine told him rubbing more on his chest.

'If Kaddar hadn't fought dirty.' Numair grumbled.

'this coming from the man that said that we had to be nice to foreign ministers.' Daine teased.

'Okay, let me change that. Be nice to all foreign ministers besides the one that slapped you.' Numair remarked.

'Hold still and this won't hurt.' Daine shook her head.

Numair loved the fact that Daine was rubbing down his entire body, but it hurt. It wouldn't be so bad id Kaddar hadn't tried to throw him into the wall. Though Numair did win. Daine still rolled her eyes when he said that. She then had to remind him that he couldn't see because he had given Kaddar two black eyes and he could see. One small set back, but he had won. Daine put down the bottle.

'There, take of your breaches and I'll do your legs.'

'Veralidaine Salamin!' he exclaimed teasing. She made a face at him.

'Keep dreaming.' She told him. 'Just for that you can do it yourself.'

'But magelet, my hands hurt.' Numair rested his head against her shoulder like she does when she wanted him to do something. He also tried to make the pouty face she did.

'That's my trick so it won't work.' She stuck out her tongue. 'plus I don't get into fights with the emperor of Carthak.'

'Actually yes you did.' Numair told her taking off his belt.

'Like you didn't get in a fight with Ozorne?' she looked him in the eyes.

'He doesn't count.' Numair replied. 'He tried to kill me three times.'

'Three?'

'I think he put poison in my food once.' He said thoughtfully.

Numair laid down and pulled her on top of him. He rubbed her back gently. She was mad at him and he intended on changing that fact. She rolled her eyes at him. Numair magiced the door shut. He felt Daine stiffen and she glared at him. Numair looked innocent.

'Oh, come on. Like you didn't know I was going to kill him when I found out.' Numair said. 'You can't be mad at me.'

'Numair! You fought twice with the emperor of Carthak. The country we're trying to get peace with again.' Numair kissed her.

'Come on, I love you. And you know I hate anyone that tried to hurt you.' Numair looked her in the eye. He was winning. She didn't have anything against that.

'Fine, you win.' She sighed.

'How about we go for a walk?' he asked running his hands through her hair.

'Alright.' She smiled. Numair kissed her.

'That's my girl.'

'Girl?' Daine looked at him

'So, you call me Numy.'

'So does Aly.' Daine laughed.

Numair got dressed and picked her up off the bed. He carried her into the kitchen where Sarra was handing Kaddar a bottle of the same medicine Diane had rubbed on Numair's cuts and burses. Kaddar glared at Numair. Numair only shifted diane a bit so Kaddar would be even more mad. Numair knew he couldn't stand that Daine was so concerned about Numair after the fight and not him.

'we're going fo a walk ma.' Daine told the goddess.

'Alright, be back in time for lunch.' Sarra said.

'How about a picnic in stead?' Numair asked Daine.

'Can we ma?' Daine asked. Sarra looked at the couple and then at Kaddar who was glaring at the mage.

'Alright. Then be back by dinner.' She magiced a basket full of food and shooed them out of the house.

Numair put Daine down when they got out of the gardens. They walked into the woods. Daine led him up the cliff that she had gone up the first time she had been to her parents. She finally plopped down on a rock at the top. She was tired from the walk. Numair handed her a canteen of water. He sat next to her. They were able to see the house from where they were. Daine leaned against her husband.

'Do you promise to be good now?' She asked taking their lunch out of the basket.

'Yes dear.' Numair bowed his head mockingly.

'I'm serous.' She told him.

'Come on.' He said putting his arms around her. 'Lets forget about this and just have a nice time, just you and me.' Daine leaned against him again.

'That sounds nice.' She whispered.

It was. They watched Diane's parents and Kaddar get ready for lunch. Weiryn came in to the garden with two rabbets. A few minutes latter her mother came out with a rabbet stew. Daine winced and looked down at the sandwich she was eating. He rmother had packed her a veggie sandwich, apple juice, and two cookies. Numair got wine, a ham sandwich and two cookies.

'Your mother has learned our tastes, hasn't she?' He looked at her.

'they're eating the poor bunny.' Daine began to cry.

'Daine,' Numair went right to soothing her. He was used to the young women's out breaks of tears.

'Do you really hate that I always put the people before myself?' She looked at him.

'Some times, only when you get hurt though.' He said thinking it though first so she'd believe him.

'I'm sorry I got the baby killed.' She whispered.

'No,' Numair whispered knowing that he was going to have to clam her eventually. 'Daine you know I'm not mad.'

Numair held Daine for a while and finally go her to fall asleep. He picked her up and carried her back to the house. It was dark and Sarra wasn't going to be happy. She was pacing next to the table when he was walking over the bridge. He could hear them talking.

'Where are they?' Sarra sounded worried.

'Sarra, they probably are coming home right now. Who knows where they are.' Weiryn tried again to clam her.

'I wonder why they forget.' Kaddar grumbled.

'Sorry we're late.' Numair walked into the garden. Sarra didn't like the fact he was carrying a sleeping Daine.

'Is she alright?' Sarra exclaimed.

'Yah, she just fell asleep.' Numair said. 'I'll take her to bed.'

Numair laid her down on the bed. He let her curls flow behind her head. He smiled and kissed her hair. He walked out and turned one last time at the door when she stirred. He sighed and walked out into the garden.

'What's wrong?' Sarra asked.

'Nothing.' Numair was quiet.

'I'd like to know what happened too.' Weiryn put in. Numair sighed and told them.
