WHO Godric & Saeunn WHERE/WHEN Godric's Clearing, late Monday night WHAT There is a lot of catching up to do here... RATING Low/Med?
That was the one thought which kept going through Godric's mind as he shrugged on his coat. He had no claim on Saeunn and he knew he did not. They had not gotten married. And even if they had, she had always been her own woman, and that spunk was part of why he had been drawn to her initially; first as a friend, and then as a lover. He slung an extra cloak over his shoulder and slid down the banister for the stair rail, hopping off right before the end and rushing out the door.
Even if it had been a while, and even if she knew how to take care of herself, even if Vogg had already found her and they were speaking around a fire, he still wanted to protect her. And the child. The babe was part of Saeunn and therefore of importance to him regardless. He would have to ask Molly to check in with her come morning.
Within minutes he had reached the clearing, and when he did, the cloak almost fell from his shoulder. It was as if time had not passed at all since the last time he saw her. Still as fair and beautiful was ever, with lively eyes and -- he swallowed. Long though it was since their last meeting, she still crossed Godric's mind daily, and now he drank in the sight before him.
Remembering his purpose, Godric held out the cloak to Saeunn. "Here." Was she angry with him? She would have a right to be. He had left her a year ago. "I cannot believe you're here," he said, a light smile breaking onto his face as he shook his head in partial disbelief. "I never would have thought it possible."
