Chapter 18- A Quiet Room

"I had fun today," Ashleen stated as she moved in front of the wardrobe in the corner.

His mother had insisted that they stay for supper as well making it later than he might have planned, but they were farmers. The sun was still up, the afternoon on the verge of being finished, when they ate the meal; but Sebastian had been surprisingly famished. He had worked hard all day, yet strangely it had felt like a vacation since it was nothing like his usual days as a battle mage.

"I'm glad you had fun," he replied and stifled a yawn. It wasn't so much that he was tired, though that was part of it, but more that they had stopped to relax. The food in his stomach still being digested likely didn't help matters any either.

"I think your mother was starting to like me," the pretty little blonde said letting her dress drop from her shoulders. It would have hit the floor if Ashleen hadn't grasped her upper arms in the process of removing it. As clean as the Alamore's kept the inn, he doubted that there wouldn't have at least been some dust and whatever dirt they had tracked in over the last few days.

She looked over her shoulder as the girl slipped free of a garment which had required Sebastian to button up a handful of buttons along the back. This was one of the dresses bought in Hala somewhere along the line of months that they had been there, he assumed. It was the fashion of Southwall not Kardor. He had seen the ladies of Kardor and, like the dresses he had seen Ashleen wear when they had first met, most wore layered robes that crossed in front. Belts bound them closed and often one leg or the other would slip free as they walked which made it easier to take greater strides than dresses bound tight.

He was used to her teasing him with her body. It wasn't even so much teasing these days, though it had once been. They knew each other's bodies well enough. Not only the outward physical was known, but their healing magic had let them trace their partners in ways that went beyond sight. While the lightning wilder wasn't as proficient or strong in it, what ability she did have let them create a sort of sensory loop that heightened many of their actions done together. It was something that he had discovered with a different girl, but he rarely thought about her, and when he did Sebastian did his best to brush the memories back as he continued to set his sight on Ashleen.

"What isn't to like? I'm pretty sure that my dad likes you too. He says that you're too good for me, though surprisingly not in a bad way," he mused thinking about the way his father seemed to mean the words.

Giggling, the pretty blonde turned towards him and agreed, "Well, he's probably right, so don't ever forget that.
