Who Alyana and Cedric Baratheon
Where The Red Keep, the Baratheon quarters
When May 12th, early, early morning
Rating PGish, subject to change

Alyana had pushed the their train of servants, attendants and family hard the last bit of the way. But it had paid off in an arrival with very little fanfare in the middle of the night. It was an unspoken challenge, really. Something that could be explained away by the want for a real bed. And it was a good part of the truth, except that big bed in their main quarters was home to a large dog.

Alyana sat down on the bed, taking out a heavy earring with a sigh, "Hector, off. For a minute, at least. You think they'd at least have water ready for baths," she said, this one directed to her husband, "The hour be damned."

Of course, the hour was the point.

"Baths can wait, dearest," said Cedric, nudging Hector and motioning for their favorite of all the dogs to get off of the bed. He could sleep at the foot of the bed if he was so inclined, and there was a very nice carpet on the floor that Cedric imagined would be comfortable for the dog. But although he did love his dogs, he wasn't about to let them sleep on the bed with him and Alyana.

"We did arrive at an abnormal hour. I'm certain they will be available after the sun's risen."

Cedric had already removed his shirt and was quickly stripping down to his smallclothes to go to sleep. If Alyana was desperate for a bath, of course he would take charge and try to arrange one for her. But at the moment, he really wanted to sleep. There were people who went months without a bath. He and Alyana could wait a few hours and spend most of that time waiting comfortable and asleep.

	"True, but I still would like one now," she said smiling at her husband. The type that generally got his attention. "After all, it would be a shame to get dirt all over these fine sheets, don't you agree?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"It would if either of us was actually dirty," said Cedric, moving toward his wife with an affectionate smile. "And the servants could just as easily wash the sheets tomorrow when we're done with them."

He placed his hands on her shoulders and kissed Alyana's forehead. Although he wasn't certain of what she was playing at, he knew there was some reason she'd wanted to arrive at this hour. He'd been willing to co-operate thus far, but sleep? Sleep was a much higher priority than riling up dragons and wolves.

"Since we are not, and it will take a very long time to get a bath prepared, I think we should enjoy our opportunity to rest."

Alyana bit back a sigh. It looked like she had hit the wall of Cedric's stubbornness. Which was a pity. This would have been a wonderful test of readiness and willingness of the servants here, and in a small part what the minds of their masters held. You could sometimes gauge such things by servants alone.

And if they could sneak in, mostly unnoticed and unannounced at night, an assassin could as well. That brought a smile to her face.

"You are impossible, My Lord. But I'll yield tonight and play my games in the morning," she said sweetly, "However I expect you to pay me back for my troubles." This smile was a bit more playful.

"And how might I do that for my gracious and patient lady?" asked Cedric with a little grin. He let his hands gently massage into her shoulders to loosen any knots that might be there from the ride. He had no doubt that he could find other ways to accommodate her and please her. It was simply a matter of whether the pleasures she sought were physical, or material.

	"Well, this is a very good start," Alyana said, leaning back into the massage, "Truly, you need not give me a thing. And I will give you everything," she said softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Ah, but I like to give you things," said Cedric, continuing to massage his wife's shoulders while he leaned in to give her neck a light kiss before simply resting his cheek against hers in a relaxed pose. While he certainly wouldn't say no if she was up for a romp before bed, he wasn't actually trying to seduce her at this precise moment so much as show her affection.

"Perhaps you'd like to have dresses made for yourself and the girls?"

	"Well, I don't think I should ever say no to a new dress. And for the girls too," because they would have to look their best, she reasoned. One to snare a lion, the other to pick flowers. All for their family, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent)
