We all know I don't own any of them except my charming Thes! He is my creation! Thank you all for reviewing! It really makes me feel good!
Previous Chapter:
'Was that Jealousy in his eyes?" Kel thought. 'No, I'm must be imagining things!'
Walking over she sat by him, and Thes sat down on his other side.
"So Thes, how have you been?" blurted out Dom trying to save himself and steer a conversation as far away from him as possible. "I hear that your mother is doing pretty good, and that Verona Peak is rather prosperous!"
"Well yes mother is doing great, in fact she told me to say 'Hello to that Domitan' and 'that he should visit his favorite adoptive Aunt more often.' She is rather lively lately since she will be moving to court for a year. She thinks that I am more than capable to take care of myself and Verona and that she should have some fun herself." Informed Thes. "We have been doing very well lately, and even have enough money for me to come to court to try to find a wife. Seems that my mother won't let me alone until I find one." Sighed Thes. "She can be rather annoying when she wants something."
Both Dom and Thes laughed. "I think I would like to meet your mother sometime, Thes. She seems like someone I would like." Kel said finally joining the conversation. Dom looked at her strangely, but continued catching up with Thes.
Kel grew tired of the stories, even though amusing, said she was off to pester a certain Knight Master of hers and get back at him for something.
Now it was just Dom and Thes. They talked lightly for a few minutes until the conversation turned to the prospect of a wife for Thes.
"Now Dom, I know you are quite familiar with the court ladies, war or no war, and I was wondering if there was anyone out there I might find myself head over heals in love with?" asked an eager Thes.
"Well lately with the war I have not spent much time at court, and I have not been infatuated for some time with any. It's been awhile, and if I were to tell you a few fair maiden's names I would need to know what you were looking for." Replied Dom a little miffed with the war comment.
"Well I would like her to be pretty, and thin, but not overly so." Answered Thes not at all affected. "I would not like to be with a simpering woman, beautiful or not, and preferably one with a nice personality," said Thes.
Dom thought a few moments, but all he could think about was how perfect Kel was. How her hair had grown longer since her squire years with the own, and how she had grown up, shaping herself perfectly in his eyes. And her eyes, they were their beautiful dreamers hazel as ever. He felt like he could lose himself in them forever.
"Dom?" said Thes for the third time. "Dom, are you okay? You spaced out there. I was a bit worried there. Didn't know you would take finding me a wife so seriously that you would go so deep into thought."
Dom blushed remembering what he was thinking about. "Sorry, just thinking about the ladies that I know. I can't think of any that would catch your fancy," 'because you were thinking of Kel, not other ladies.' "But if you give me a night I may remember one." Replied Dom quickly explaining himself.
"Why thank you sergeant!" said an excited Thes. "Now I have one quick question before I go find a dance partner," said Thes.
"Ask away oh might Thes!" chuckled Dom at his friends seriousness.
"Are you taken by the Lady Knight you wrote so much about?" asked a grinning Thes.
Dom blushed hard. "Wha- You mean Kel? I uh- Me?" stuttered a flustered Dom. 'If he finds out he will stop at nothing to tease me mercilessly!' "Where did that come form! I have been friends with her since her Squire years!" said Dom.
"Well from what I gathered from your writing is that you cared deeply for her, even if you wouldn't show it," said an amused Thes. "Or even admit it to yourself."
'Note to self. Don't write any more letters with the word Kel in it to Thes. Got it.'
"Well for your information I am not infatuated with a certain Lady Knight," 'Just head-over-heals in Love with her,' "and I would appreciate if we left it at that." Replied Dom.
"Sure thing Dom." Said an amused Thes. "Well now if you don't mind I would like to ask a certain Lady Knight for another dance, seeing as I would not be interfering with any of your plans." Said a grinning Thes. He walked off towards Kel who was sitting next to a red faced Raoul.
'What does he mean he wouldn't be interrupting any plans? Oh no! He likes her!"
Dun Dun Dun! What now! Dommy has competition ! What is he going to do? And Thes! Does he like Kel? I know I wasn't as long as I wanted it to be, but it is the longest yet, and I thought that waiting a few more days and making it longer sounded worse than just giving you a shorter version now. You tell me! Thank you for reviewing! Keep it coming! Should I put another character in? Like a court lady? It would spice it up more if I did. Please review! Thanks so much! TaraBear
