sparhawk

Sparhawk was riding Faran, exercising his friend as they rode across the grounds of Here, ocassionally startling one attendant of worker here or there. The sudden arrival or workers did not startle of upset Sparhawk. Indeed, if anything, it seeme a more normal state of affairs to a man who had been used to, when he lived in such a place as this, having servants, courtiers, and others always around. It had been the small population, the sheer dearth of people that had bothered him, and this new fullness of Here, well, it seemed right.

He was not too sure he understood their unrelenting cheerfulness, however, as he was used to a universal truth; servants are not that happy about being such.

Thus, it was a thouyghtful Sparhawk who was a-riding this morning, and a quiet, for once, Faran, who was carrying him.

	Elaine was coming out of the greenhouse when she spied her beloved and his horse. She waved at them cheerily as she walked out. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Sparhawk smiled as he turned Faran toward her. The big horse wickered and cantered toward Elaine, for she was one of his favorite people as well. "Greetings, dear wife. How are you?" Faran blew out a little air in greeting and nosed her shoulder gently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I am most well, my lord." She patted Faran affectionately. "Now that the morning sickness seems to have faded a little, I can do what I like and I am feeling quite well indeed." She smiles up at him brightly. "And how do you fare this morn, beloved?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sparhawk 2008-08-11 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	He slid from Faran's back and embraced her, his heart leaping to touch her again. "I love thee, dear one." He smiled and stroked her hair. "I am glad to hear you well. My day has been good, and calm. between exercises, cleaning armor, and taking care of Faran, the day has worn away quicker than I thought." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilymaid_sweet 2008-08-11 11:03 pm UTC (link)
	It always feels so lovely to be held by him. "And I love thee, as well." She smiled. "It is good to have things to occupy your hands and your mind. It is rather strange to see so many attendants Here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sparhawk 2008-08-11 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	He kissed her again, then nodded and, gestured toward the fields. "Will you walk with us?" It had been his habit to include Faran in his statements, and that was unlikely to change. When even a God acknowledged that a horse was a people, it was hard to ignore the fact. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilymaid_sweet 2008-08-11 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	"I would be happy to, mine." She slipped her arm around his waist as they walked. As for Elaine, she was more than happy to include Faran; they were a family, after all. The knowledge that she was carrying his child was still very new and wondrous, and there were times she fell silent contemplating it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He stroked her side as they went. She fit him, and he delighted in that once more. "How is the greenhouse?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilymaid_sweet 2008-08-12 12:46 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, most well. Things are blooming happily, and the vegetables are nearly ready to be harvested." As well as the flax. She really needed equipment to spin and weave. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sparhawk 2008-08-12 06:14 pm UTC (link)
	He smiled at her. "Good. If I can help, let me know." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilymaid_sweet 2008-08-12 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	"I definitely shall." She will not do anything alone if she does not have to. She sighed and leaned happily on his arm. "I can't believe that we're going to have a little one. I still haven't felt him move, though." She cannot wait to feel that. But she does try to be patient and wait. Still, midwinter seems so very long to wait. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sparhawk 2008-08-12 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	He smiled softly at her, feeling unwilling to be parted from her for long, even when he knew it must happen. He kissed her cheek and stroked her belly softly. "I am sure he or she will move in time." He knew it would be well, somehow. "Iam very proud of you, my love and of being your husband." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilymaid_sweet 2008-08-12 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	She's only just beginning to gain a slight bit of weight, a softening of the curve of hip and belly. "I know...I just want to...to know that our child is in there." She still could not quite believe it. Elaine blushes. "And I am proud to be your wife, my love." She sighed again, happily. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sparhawk 2008-08-12 10:46 pm UTC (link)
	His hand stroked down those differences, gently holding her as they walked. "I am sure they are, love. But we will find a way to prove it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilymaid_sweet 2008-08-13 03:31 pm UTC (link)
	"But how, dearest? Till the quickening, I won't truly know." She knew from experience with other women in pregnancy that till the quickening it was an anxious wait, hoping the child was well and would be born alive. She laughed at herself. "I must exercise a little more patience, I think." But it was difficult! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"God is mysterious, and wonderful. I am sure he will find a way." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"As usual, you are very wise, beloved."

She felt so excited, sometimes so excited that she could barely breathe from it. She sometimes kept Sparhawk awake at night when she was like that, and tended to tire the man out. Though he did not complain when she did such things.

"I cannot tell you how very happy I am. Things are just starting for us and I look forward to each day."

	She smiled and her heart leapt to know that he was as pleased as she was. "And the arrival of our wee one will brighten up the end of our winter." This is the first time that Elaine has looked forward to the winter in her remembering. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He smiled as they walked, Faran close behind them. "The child will be the boon of already blessed days." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilymaid_sweet 2008-08-13 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	Elaine laughed. "Our days are blessed, aren't they? With our small family here." She included Faran in this, of course, smiling back at the horse. She leans her head on his arm again, enjoying the feeling as he held her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sparhawk 2008-08-13 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	He smiled softly to her. "Yes, they are." He touched her hair and smiled as they walked. "And it will only grow with whatever may come." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilymaid_sweet 2008-08-13 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	She sighs again, happily as they walk together. "Perhaps we should see about one of those larger suites, dearest. After all, we shall need a nursery for the little one after a time." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sparhawk 2008-08-13 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	"We could, indeed. We both have skills to trade." He smiled. "A good idea." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilymaid_sweet 2008-08-13 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	"I would like to have a loom and spindle," she says softly. "The flax is nearly ready to be harvested and spinning the thread and weaving it would take up many a cold winter's night." And she missed weaving, even if it would be simple homespun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sparhawk 2008-08-13 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	"We should, perhaps, make a list of what we like, and then what we can do, and find the Bargainer and see what we can do." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilymaid_sweet 2008-08-13 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	"That sounds like a good scheme. It will be good to prepare for the winter and for everything that will happen." Absently, she stroked her hand over her still-flat belly, smiling slightly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sparhawk 2008-08-13 10:14 pm UTC (link)
	He nodded, watching her, a smile soft on his lips. "You are a wonder to behold now, and will only become more so." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilymaid_sweet 2008-08-13 10:18 pm UTC (link)
	"I shall be big as a house. And I shall not be able to find my feet by December." She grins up at him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I shall hold you to that opinion," she says, laughing. It's lovely to be in his arms, and to know that she is cherished. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sparhawk 2008-08-13 10:32 pm UTC (link)
	He nodded. "Always." He smiled and glanced around. "I love to wander these fields." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilymaid_sweet 2008-08-13 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	"They are beautiful. Do they remind you of home?" They do to her, though at home, the fields would more like be full of crops nearly ready for the harvest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sparhawk 2008-08-13 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	"Some parts of it. Though, truly, I grew up in a city, or a town at least, and not a place like this." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilymaid_sweet 2008-08-13 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	"I cannot imagine growing up in a city," she says quietly. "All the bustle...was it very noisy?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sparhawk 2008-08-13 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	He nodded. "IN some places, but there are always quiet places." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilymaid_sweet 2008-08-13 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	Elaine nodded. "It was always so very quiet at home. We did not have a court to speak of, it was always just the family. And at night it would be so still and sometimes I couldn't sleep and I would sit wakeful and look at the moon and listen to the wind blowing through the trees." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sparhawk 2008-08-13 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	He smiled. "I can only imagine how beautiful you looked then." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilymaid_sweet 2008-08-13 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	She smiled back. "It was not that long ago for me." But oh, how much changes in a year. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sparhawk 2008-08-13 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	He smiled softly at her. "Life moves along, and we travel it's path." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilymaid_sweet 2008-08-14 04:21 am UTC (link)
	"Aye. And that is all we can do, and make the best of it. And hope that the path leads us to a safe and happy place." She snuggles against him a bit. "At least we can travel it together." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sparhawk 2008-08-14 05:20 pm UTC (link)
	He pauses and pulls her close smiling. "Whatever happens, you and I together, love, you and I together." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilymaid_sweet 2008-08-14 08:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes." She leaned her head against his chest. They will never be parted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sparhawk 2008-08-14 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	He hugged her warmly. "Now, let us continue to walk. It is a beautiful day and there is not a reason not to enjoy it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilymaid_sweet 2008-08-14 08:54 pm UTC (link)
	She nods, and they continue their walk. Elaine smiles as she walks with him, happy just to be with him and feeling one with him as they walk together. (Reply to this) (Parent)
