"Oh, you are trouble," Adriana chuckled. "I'm sure Glen loves to have your help out here." She saw Annora yawn. "Come on, sweety. You should take a nap. You don't want to fall asleep while brushing your pony, do you? She'll be here after your nap."

by Xuxa_Rene Wed Mar 28, 2012 10:24 pm

Annora thought for a momnet "Only if you tell me story?" She asked with her bottom lip quivering as she rocked on her feet clearly exhuasted. But still fighting it she the winked her brow "You didnt say hi to your new horsey dont you like it?"

She pet her pony and whispered "I will be back soon Lady Addyanna thinks I need a nap" She said through another big yawn as she nearly fell over.

"Of course I will tell you a story," Adriana stated with a smile. "I do love my horse, she is beautiful." She caught Annora as the child nearly fell over and lifted her up in her arms. She moved over to the horse next to annora's pony. "Hello, noble steed, you look quite lovely today." Gently she stroked the mares nose. "I shall see you again soon." with a smile, she kissed annoras forehead. "Off we go lady Annora, for a story and a nap." Turning, she headed toward the keep.

Annora eye lids were getting heavier so she snuggled into Adrainas arms as she was lifed up she sighed and smiled as she petted the Horse. "Horsey like you" She said then snuggled into her arms and then once inside she snugged into a blanket and held on to a plaid "This was mommies, Alec doenst know I have it" '

She held another one. "This one is Alec's" She sighed again. "Alright story pease?"

by tigresswarrior Thu Mar 29, 2012 10:13 am

Adriana smiled softly. "I'm glad she likes me, it would be terrible if my horse didn't like me." She put Annora into bed. "Oh, that's sweet that you have your mothers plaid." When the child told her the other one was Alec's, Adriana almost reached out to touch it, but instead she pulled away. "Alright story." she sat down beside Annora's bed, and told a story about a princess, who was locked in a tower, and the prince who came to save her.

( xD not feeling creative about a story)

by Xuxa_Rene Thu Mar 29, 2012 12:49 pm

Annora yawned and listened to the story. "Unkie Brodrick can be your prince" She said softly before falling asleep. Snuggled into both plaids and her cat snuggled into with her too,

Alec had reentered the keep and was sitting by the fire. He was still wondering about Adriana and if a burned bridge could be rebuilt.

by tigresswarrior Thu Mar 29, 2012 1:10 pm

Adriana was startled by what Annora said. Brodrick her prince? Adriana didn't think so. Sue couldn't see anyone passed Alex. Where did that come from? With a sigh, she kissed Annora's forehead and left the room, lost in thought and not really focusing on anything, or noticing anyone.

by Xuxa_Rene Fri Mar 30, 2012 5:01 pm

Alec was now pacing in the room. He didnt know how to approch Adriana now, to tell her that he was trying to look out for her, he didnt know how to talk to them and started mumbling to himself as if he was talking to the dog at his feet. "How to fix this?" He rubbed his temples.

"I just wanted her safe, I thought she would be grateful" He sighed and shook his head clearly troubled during this all.

by tigresswarrior Sat Mar 31, 2012 12:02 am

Adriana was going to leave, to go back to her friends, when she heard Alex talking. She lifted her head, spotting him. He looked upset. She wanted to keep walking and hope he hadn't noticed her. But instead, against her better judgement, she spoke up. "Fix what?"

by Xuxa_Rene Sun Apr 01, 2012 1:09 am

Hearing her voice Alec jumped and turned to her. His eyes were filled with sorrow he looked up at her and sighed. "Lady Adriana, you have done wonders with Annora" He looked down at his hands remembering how terrifed the little girl had been when he tried to talk to her.

"I thank you for that" He could hear Brodricks words and sighed. "About before I only wanted to protect you, I have met your father, and if word gets out that you are here there is no telling what he would do, I just wanted to protect you, I didnt mean to hurt you or anger you"

by tigresswarrior Sun Apr 01, 2012 11:39 am

Adriana watched him, quietly. "I won't give up on her," she stated softly. she lifted her chin when he mentioned about before. With a sigh, she shook her head. 'I care not for my father. I doubt he would even care about me if he knew about me. Why do you care about protecting me from him, anyway?"

by Xuxa_Rene Mon Apr 02, 2012 6:22 pm

"I wouldnt except you to give up on her and I thank you for that" He wringed his hands "You may not care for your father but I fear he will use you as a pawn"

He looked at her. "I am no good at this stuff, I just wanted you to be safe from him, it would crush Annora if something happened to you" What he really ment isthat it would crush him too,

by tigresswarrior Tue Apr 03, 2012 10:11 pm

She sighed deeply. "Why would he use me as a pawn? If he were as bad as you are painting him for me, would a marriage not matter and he still try to use me?"

Her gaze shifted to the ground. "You confuse me, you originally thought I wouldn't come with you, then you tried to convince me not to come. Now you... want to marry me, meaning I'll stay here. What do you want with me?"

by Xuxa_Rene Tue Apr 03, 2012 10:37 pm

Alec sighed "He just strikes me as the type that would use you for a pawn" He looked at her "The entire clan will fight to protect you but if you were married and it was uhhh" He trailed off and looked away "consemated," There would be nothing anyone could do. "

He rubbed the back of his neck as she went on "I am not used to interactting with women" He licked his lips. "I didnt want you to be hurt, when I first looked at you I knew that I was in love, I havent felt like that since I fist laid eyes on" He coughed to cover a strain in his voice due to a lump of nearly crying. "My wife" He finished.
I just want you to be happy, when is the last time you were happy, truely happy?"

by tigresswarrior Wed Apr 04, 2012 2:33 pm

Adriana went still at his confession. "You... love me?" Her cheeks flushed. She felt strong feelings towards him, she really didn't understand them, and she was a bit terrified of them. She went to him, a little nervous. "I'm sorry about your wife..."

She fidgeted with her dress. "....I was happy when I got to see Catriona at the borders..."

by Xuxa_Rene Fri Apr 06, 2012 1:36 am

Alec looked up at herand smiled. He should have guessed that Adriana would be able to word it so easily as he struggled to understand it. HE took a step towards her. "Thank you" He paused when hearing that the last time she was happy was when she was at the borders he lightly touched her face.

"How long ago was that?"

by tigresswarrior Fri Apr 06, 2012 1:03 pm

Adriana watched him, quietly. She fidgeted, nervously. "I....." she hesitated. "I... was 13... that last time I was there..." she told him softy, quietly, her voice a whisper.

by Xuxa_Rene Sat Apr 07, 2012 10:45 am

Gentley Alec took her hand and attempted to lead her to the seats by the fire, offering her some ale. "Adriana I had no idea, I am so sorry, I should have been softer, you just scare me" He paused "And if you tell anyone what I just said to you I will deny it"

He took a sip of the Ale then sighed. "Why did you stop going Adriana?" He was watching her wondering why she was suddenly so softer.

by tigresswarrior Sat Apr 07, 2012 12:35 pm

Adriana let him lead her to the seats, and accepted the ale. "I scare you?" she arched a brow, and set the ale aside. She purposely avoided the fact that he was also drinking ale, trying really hard not to think about it.

She sat back and sighed. "He found out, and wouldn't let my aunt take me anymore....."

by Xuxa_Rene Sun Apr 08, 2012 12:15 am

Feeling uncomfortable Alec shifted and took long gulps of his ale and then turned to her again,. "Yes you do" He looked at his hands wondering why he was being so open. He sighed.

"Who found out what, and why wouldnt he let your aunt take you to the boarder?"

by tigresswarrior Sun Apr 08, 2012 5:43 am

Any other moment, and Adriana would have been amused by the fact that she scared him. But now, She was getting anxious by his drinking and questions. "I don't know how I scare you..."

She looked down at her hands. "My uncle. He found out my aunt took me to the border. She did so secretly when he went to London or something. He came home early and saw we weren't home. When we did get home, he was very angry. And she told him that she took me all those years behind his back...."

by Xuxa_Rene Mon Apr 09, 2012 12:02 am

Alec put down the Ale noticeing how nervous that Adriana seemed to be. He leaned forward. "Does my drinking bother you Lady Adriana?"

He then listened to the rest of the story. "Why did your uncle care?" He wanted to learn more about this woman. "What happened to your aunt?"

by tigresswarrior Mon Apr 09, 2012 12:21 am

"...Yes..." She admitted quietly, hating that she had a problem with others drinking around her, hating that she was afraid she would be hit.

"I don't know why he cared." She looked down at her hands in her lab, twisting her fingers in the skirt of her dress. "He had been drinking and it made him angry and he hurt her.... And me...."

by Xuxa_Rene Mon Apr 09, 2012 12:51 am

Alec grew angry as she explained what happened but he did not show her. "Lady Adriana I never lose controle when I drink, mine is more watered down then normal even, I have a clan to be responisble for" He held out his had for her to take her goblet "Here take a drink you will be able to tell it is more watered down then yours"

He looked at her hands then back to her eyes. "I do not want you to fall into his hands again" He softly stroked her face. "I am so sorry you should have been treated better and protected"

by tigresswarrior Mon Apr 09, 2012 8:25 am

Adriana glanced to him, then to his ale. She shook her head. "I never tasted ale." And she didn't want to. Her gaze shifted back to her hands in her lap.

Her cheeks flushed at his words. She never thought anyone would care about her. Feeling his hand stroking her cheek, she glanced back to him. "It is fine."
