A/N: Comments at the end. :D
It was about dusk when Shyare headed back to the practice arena to pick up the children. She looked around, but it seemed to be deserted. She sighed and walked towards the stables, before she had walked half way across the yard, she felt someone pull her to the ground. Sounds of children's laughter and giggles filled her ears. She was on her back as someone stradled her. She shook the hair out of her face and saw athe curly haired knight grin down at her.
"Get off me," she said while squirming beneath him.
"No, I think I like you this way."
"Lancelot, you're setting a bad example," she said while straining her neck to catch a glance at the kids.
He just held her hands tighter, "You know," he said after studying her, "You look pretty good in that position."
She stared at him with wide eyes. She suddenly narrowed them, "I swear on the Godess, when I get out of this you will be one very unhappy knight."
Lancelot only laughed, "Then it is completely worth it, for revenge is sweeter than anything you could possibly do."
"Revenge?" she said while gulping.
"Oh yes," Lancelot said in an overly dramatic voice, "That is what I have planned with pleasure. All for leaving me in harms way with the children."
"You were fine!" Shyare protested, "Look, not a scratch on you!"
"Oh really?" he asked with sarcasm, "What about the bruises on my back? For Godess sake, one of Bors's bastards drew blood while biting me!"
"It's not like you were fatally wounded," Shyare said with exasperation.
"I could be scarred forever," he said in a dramatic voice again.
Lancelot yelped a moment later; he was suddenly yanked by the collar and lifted off Shyare. He turned slowly to face a stern Tristan. He gulped and tried to sprint, but wasn't fast enough.
"Going to put her in the the horses' trough were ye?" the scout said gruffly.
No one had noticed Danu walking off to tell the scout his plan. Tristan pulled Lancelot by his shirt towards the trough. He pushed him in and was satisfyed after hearing a large splash.
"You never learn do ye?" Tristan said while shaking his head, "You don't tell children your plans," with that he walked off.
Tristan walked back to Shyare as she dusted herself off. The twins and Danu watched her quietly. Danu saw him and ran straight to him with her arms raised. He shook his head. She gave him puppy eyes, and he sighed while giving in.
"Well," Shyare said with a hand on each of the twins shoulders, "This lot needs to be heading off to bed."
"Do we have to?" Tadg asked with a look of disappointment.
"Yes, or you won't get up in the morning for practice," she said.
She headed towards their quarters, Tristan following with Danu in arms. As they headed up the stairs, one of the twins yawned, moments after protesting being wide awake. Tristan opened the door softly, for Danu slept. Shyare quickly changed the girls clothing before covering her with furs. The twins already slept soundly on their own cot. Tristan pulled her into a soft kiss. It was getting deeper when Shyare heard a someone stirring. She pulled away from Tristan to see Danu looking at them sleepily.
"What were you doing?" she asked curiously in the middle of a yawn.
"Nothing," both of them said quickly.
"I'll see you tomorrow Tristan," Shyare said in a more appropriate way, "We have to start training the kids."
"Of course," Tristan said while nodding. He walked out the door and closed it softly behind him.
Shyare let out a deep breath. She changed into a large tunic before flopping next to Danu. The child stared at her intently.
"You won't say anything about that, will you?" said Shyare while turning her head to look at the child.
"Like a secret?" she asked.
"Exactly," Shyare said with a smile.
"Alright," the little girl said with a yawn, "I didn't know what you were doing anyways."
"Night," Shyare said while re-tucking her in, "We'll talk in the morning."
Both fell asleep moments later.
