Walking up to a villa along the coast,the moon in the sky which was as bright as the two lovers' faces in the light..."Finally...a place to stay.." she held him close,closing her eyes in relaxation...
"Indeed...according to the owner,it only has one chamber..." Abase smiled,holding her...
"Mm.." holding his hand,she knocked on the door. When no one replied,she looked inward,seeing it was completely cleared out for the two of them...
"Rude of them to take most of the furniture..." Abase sarcastically mumbled,kissing the crown of her head...
"Let's go inside...at least there's a warm fire..." she whispered,shivering in his arms...
Striding in,the door gently closed...the things left were the comfort of the warm fire,the scent of the owner's bubbling soup,which she had left for their arrival.Next to the fireplace,there was a bed,made of hare and deer's hides,with a lamb's wool blanket. It was big enough for the both of them, and beside the bed was a wooden table with small stools,suitable for dining. Set up on the table were two small wooden bowls...
"Well,we can't leave the pot to burn over,now can we?" Mizeri playfully asked,leaning down to the scent...she opened the pot,the delicious,tempting fumes wafting to Abase.
"Mm...what does it have?"
"Carrots,truffles,fennel,cilantro,barley and some lentils..." she leaned down,tasting the broth..."With a hint of garlic,aniseed...and some coriander..."
Abase smirked. "Culinarily advanced,hm?"
Mizeri smiled. "I have very fine tastes." She ladeled the savory broth into their bowls,handing him some...they took a sip,and they melted at the flavor....
After they finished their meal,Mizeri laid in the bed for a small nap..while Abase watched her sleep,he stroked her cheek...smiling lightly..."We've escaped,love...Although,I'm going to need a job to keep us both thriving...I'll go to town. When I come back,I'll have enough money to buy away the throne..." he joked,a solemn,yet sad look in his eyes...
Something seemed to burn within him,like an unquenched fire which could not be extinguished by anything but her...his thoughts wandered,procrastinating...
Slowly he touched her face,waking her from her sleep.
"Ah.." was all she could sigh out before he kissed her.
Mizeri looked into his eyes,smiling. "Go on and take my worth,before some other man steals it from you..."
Abase smiled,playing with her hair. "Very well then,my love..." he moved down,undoing the sash that held her peplos together. She blushed,laying out on the bed openly...
The rest of that night was only remembered by the two...
During the night,the three travelers slept in their tents; Syciphan by himself,and Peon and Gracia in the other--
However,Gracia couldn't sleep. She held to him,cuddling against his back.
Why don't you awaken? Don't you know my feelings? Can you not see them..?
However,the other fugitive was awake. "Gracia...what are you doing?" Peon asked the adolescent,whom was clinging to him.
"Keeping warm." She replied,closing her eyes at the lie.
"In this heat?" He rolled over to face her. "You're lying." Gracia turned away,her face bright red.
"It's....just..." There was a long silence. Peon sighed and rolled over again,sensing her arms wrapping around his shoulders.
"Don't touch me," he quickly mumbled,"I only want to be embraced by Lady Mizeri alone."
Gracia jolted back at that statement,and pulled the wool blanket over herself. Perhaps out of chill...or the comforting warmth...or she wished for his embrace. A few lonely moments passed,until the rustling of Peon's stirring caused the silence to break. She felt his warmth embrace her,and his warm breath on her neck.
"I'm sorry," he whispered,"you were just trying to comfort me..."
Reluctantly,Gracia held him back. "Y-Yea..." tears ran down her cheeks,but she didn't let them show.
