Kel opened her door emitting Dom into her set of rooms. Glancing around Dom
noticed some things hadn't changed about the way her rooms looked and some
things had. Her lucky cats and weapons racks were exactly where they had
always been though a few of the cats were missing due to their placement in
his room. On the other hand she had put a very interesting quilt on her
bed, upon closer inspection he realized that the fabric was blue was tiny
hand stitched flowers all over it. She seemed to have developed a certain
number of maidenly qualities, all related back to wanting to look pretty
and yet practical at the same time. "Well, if your coming in please do
before you drip anymore water all over the wood floors its bad for them"
Kel said sighing, what was he doing he had been standing there for what
seemed like forever and she was hungry.
"Oh, sorry Kel, I was just noticing how different it was from your old room", Dom said telling the truth and yet not... "You sure have changed a lot since last, where in Mithros name did you ever find a quilt like that out here".
"Lalasa made it for me, when I arrived after midwinter packages from home had arrived for all of us". Kel wasn't very interested in discussing what she had received from her family, with one exception. Her mother had sent her a new dress or so she had thought at first until she went to go put it on and discovered wrapped inside the sash was a shusuken beautifully crafted with designs to symbolize power and strength. She told Dom about this wonderful gift as she dug through her trunk to find the cloths to lend him. Finally finding them she handed them over and went off in search of her new dress her mother had sent, she would have to wear one of hers for lunch while her current cloths dried out. "Ok I am going to change in the bathroom, you can use my room". Kel took her dress and a few hair ribbons into the room.
Dom glanced at the shirt and breeches, they were much to his surprise made for men. Why does she have men's clothing in her room. Smacking himself in the head Dom remembered that of course she would have them, men were the only other ones out here that wore shirts and breeches the stores there fore wouldn't bother making separate types just for her. Quickly he exchanged his breeches for the dry ones and laid them on the hearth to dry. Pulling off his shirt to pull on the dry one he heard a shriek. Kel had been planing to lean against the wall to put on her slippers and lace them up, but due to her overwhelming confidence and the water all over her floor she had slipped falling through the curtain that separated the two rooms. Dom ran to go and catch her, making it there just in time. Pulling Kel the rest of the way up the momentum caught him off balance and he went flying back wards on to the bed, but he wasn't going down on his own. Dragging Kel down with him, they both just had to laugh. "Some warriors we are", he said between the dying chuckles, "we must have been such idiots to fall twice in one day". Lying there Kel realized how comfortable it felt, the two of them laughing and joking simply just being what their true emotions dictated. Kel did not know that Dom had been planning so vigorously to make her understand how he felt and yet at this very moment it stuck out so clear that even a blind man would be able to see it.
"Sir, I believe that you should put on a shirt", she said in a joking voice, "and then I shall escort you to the mess".
"You shall escort me fair damsel," Dom said playing along, "shouldn't it be I who escorts you". This game was fun he was enjoying him self and he wished that things would stay like this forever. "Alas, I shall abide to your wishes and ready my self for lunch, but only if you shall take it with me". Kel just laughed and sat up on her bed as Dom got up. Sitting there she finished tying the laces on her slippers and waited for Dom to finish tucking in his shirt.
Turning around to look at Kel, Dom felt dumbfounded. He couldn't help but stare at the vision in front of him. Goddess she's gorgeous he thought, I've never seen her wear a dress before she looks so different. And has she done something with her hair, its tied back with ribbon well that's a first. "Ready to go" Dom asked Kel. Accepting his hand she got up and they headed off together.
