Who: Andais & Rozenwyn
Where: At Home
When: Monday Evening, November 30th
Andais' mood was much better than it had been the week before. No longer sullen and nearly mute, she hummed softly as she put food down for the puppy before she went to the pantry and got out the peanut butter and bread before going to the fridge for jelly. She couldn't cook. It was understandable as she had never had to cook for herself before, but she had promised to eat more often. She hummed softly, a secret smile on her lips as she made herself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Roz walked into the kitchen and arched a brow at her clearly happy cousin. She smiled at the puppy and leaned over, petting softly. "You are happy" she commented toward her cousin.
She glanced up from the sandwich she was making. "mhm." she said as she nodded. "would you like a sandwich?" she offered as she cut hers into fours with the butter knife
"Sure, that sounds lovely," she said moving to get them each something to drink.
She made her cousin a sandwich as well and cut it as well putting it onto a plate for her. "I trust you've been well today."
"I have, I am going to assume you are well as well"
She nodded her head. "I have so far... And I slept better last night than I have in well over a month." she said as she looked at Rozenwyn. She bit her bottom lip. "my fears were unfounded."
"And which fears were those?" she asked taking a bite of her sandwich
She moved to settle on one of the stools at the end of the island and took a bite of her sandwich, chewing thoughtfully. "that Deacon couldn't possibly feel the same."
"Oh, he does then" she commented looking over at her cousin. She had a feeling the man had.
She nodded her head softly. "I was being foolish... And should have directly spoke to him of it instead of behaving how I have for the past week." that was the closest to an apology that Andais would give most of the time.
"Then you have spoken to him, I see." Roz would never push but she was glad her cousin had found the ground to ask and make things known.
She bit her bottom lip. "I left the house without a guard the other night, wishing to be left alone for a bit... Then when I arrived home, he was on the back porch and he seemed worried more than usual..." she said softly. She was rarely one to admit whenever she was wrong for doing something, but she had been that night. She should not have left without a guard.
She smiled some, "Ronan, scolds me when I leave without one of them. I can only imagine what Deacon would say to your leaving"
She shrugged softly. "he did not say anything at first... Then he did scold me, but in his own way... While the other guard loses his temper, Deacon does not... Then he told me' that he understood my reasons..."
She nodded some, "They do, those two at least. They understand when we wish to be alone, but they do not like it"
She nodded her head. "I just kind of started babbling at that point. I told him that I understood him not feeling the same as I did and that I knew what the other guards said about me... And that I hated how awkward things had been..." she said as she looked at her sandwich. "then he told me that he felt the same way about me' that I did him..."
"It sounds as though, that is exactly what was needed to be done"
She nodded her head. "it was... And he kissed me'." she said a soft smile on her lips. It had been the most chaste and soft kiss she'd ever experienced, but it had taken her breath away.
She smiled as she looked at her cousin, "I think that is very wonderful"
She smiled as she looked over at her cousin. "i think that I am happier than I have been in some time."
"You seem it, I am glad you have a reason to be so happy"
She reached over and pushed some of her cousins hair out of her face. "how have you been?"
"I am well," she said with a smile, "nothing new"
She smiled. "why nothing new?"
"What would be new?" she asked looking at her cousin
She shrugged. "I figured you might have made a new friend or did something interesting"
"No, I have done nothing recently. Gone for walks with Ronan"
She nodded her head. "I guess he told you about my disappearing acts this week then?"
She shook her head, "If you come back, they do not mention such things to me. Only when I must find you for them"
She nodded her head. "I think that Deacon is going to replace my other guard... I have managed to disappear twice on him whenever he's been watching me, just this past week alone."
"he is scared of you, makes him unable to watch you properly"
She pursed her lips. "I haven't been mean to him in a few weeks... Well besides telling him if he told Deacon that we left the house that I'd disembowel him..."
"And he knows you mean it" she pointed out
She shrugged. "never waste a good threat."
"Very true, but he knows you will do it and do it well"
She shrugged. "he has a tendency to make me' angry... I do not think that he is really as suitable for me now that i am an adult."
"nor do I" she said in agreement with her cousin
She shrugged. "I spoke to father about it but he seems to think that I am just being childish about it..."
"Do you wish for me to speak with him about it? This is not a good guard for you"
She pursed her lip. "give me' a few days... I promised to not to complain about it for a few days"
She nodded, "Alright, let me know when"
She nodded her head as she looked at her cousin. "I appreciate that you understand my situation."
"I do, Anadis. I understand a lot more than everyone seems to realize"
She nodded her head. "you understand me' better than anyone in my life."
"I've known you longer, more deeply than anyone else"
She nodded her head. "that is very true... Even though Deacon has been around since the day I was born; I didn't really open up as much to him in the beginning... At least until he was still there after guards 2, 3 and 4 left..."
"And you have always had me to open up to" she said finishing her sandwich off.
She nodded her head as she finished her sandwich. "and I always will have you."
"Always" she agreed
She smiled. "I am glad that our parents chose us for one another."
"I am as well" she said with a smile
"perhaps we can go out for a walk on the beach?"
"Sure" she said nodding some, "I would enjoy that"
She smiled and nodded. "I will go and tell Deacon what we want to do, and you can round up one of your guards."
"I will get Ronan" she said as she moved to stand
She nodded her head and walked to where her guard was and told him that she wished to go outside for a bit, and he followed behind her, armed as he usually was. She was willing to be compliant to her guard's demands whenever she was in a good mood.
