It was a quiet night, nothing but the cold wind whistling through the trees could be heard. The stars shone bright and illuminated the scenery in a cold blue tone, the moon seemed larger than usual, but no one cared, it wasn't something out of the ordinary.
Lady Elizabeth had gone home, but not after giving Pheonix a Letter he isn't allowed to open until the next day. The curiosity was too big so he asked Kannon to lock it away, he didn't want his beloved Princess to hate him for reading it too soon, so this was the only way for him.
Lady Elise on the other hand stayed over at Kannon's place, especially as her hair is now short, she can't go back to her family for some time. Meanwhile, Kannon decided to bandage his wound and to clean it, as the current Bandage isn't really holding it together.
He made sure to be quiet, to not wake Pheonix who decided to stay over, sleeping in one of the many beds in the main room. He cleaned the wound with the Antiseptic, he found in the Cabinet and wrapped it with the bandages he got from the drawer, when he was finished he immediatly went to his room, tired and somewhat sleep deprived he really needed sleep.
He stopped in front of his door, his hand on the doorknob, "She's in there..."he thought worried of what she'll say, especially after what happened earlier today.
He couldn't really get it out of his mind, he couldn't comprehend his own decision, he opened the door slowly. He didn't want to wake her up.
His room was small, it only consisted of two single beds, pushed together and several shelves.
It was big enough for him, he never had anyone over anyway so it wasn't a big problem.
He closed the door, and went over to his bed, Elise was laying in it. "She did say she'd sleep in my Bed, but..."he sighs, "I didn't think she meant it." he sits down on his bed and lays down,next to her. She's moving around, seemingly having a nightmare, he looks at her.
Sweat pearls can be seen on her forehead, her face looks worried, or even scared?
"What are you dreaming about...?" he mumbles, taking her hand to calm her down. "Acting like it never happened won't work forever, Elli." he whispers softly, pressing her hand against his cheek. It feels enticing to hold her hand like this, hundreds of millions of little butterflies fill his heart making him feel awkward, he doesn't understand it,but still can't let go of her hand.
He kisses her hand, "How come you're so cute...?" he smiles.
His eyes close and he falls asleep, still holding onto her.
The next day was as boring and uneventful as any other day, Elise got into to trouble for stuff she did and Kannon needed to learn even more. Pheonix was waiting for Lady Elizabeth but she didn't come by at all, the night was interesting though.
A letter arrived that Morning, asking Kannon to come and bring home, something that happened a lot, he was always the one to make sure actually comes to work or does the stuff he has to do, it was awkward at some times but necessary.
"What does the letter say?" Elise asked, biting down onto a piece of Bread. "Please get , he's been here for a day already and he doesn't want to leave, get him andntake him home, please. Sincerely, Madame Winifred Hale." he read out loud, he put the letter back into the envelope and put it his bag. Elise giggled, "Wanna go then?" she asked him, pulling on his bag strap and walking towards the front door, the left Pheonix at the Office, he woudln't be much of a help anyway in his state of mind, he was so in love with Lady Elizabeth that he couldn't think straight anymore, all he did was waiting for her and talking about her.
