Just Away from the Bonfire: Ellie & Rider
He always managed to make her feel like a new born colt, clumsy and awkward, but his costume tonight was going a long way to helping with that! Seeing him like that put more color to her cheeks than the nip of whisky could account for.
"There's a conspiracy afoot about me hidin' away, I'm sure of it," she accused in a light tone of voice. She didn't look too put out about it, however, judging by the light in her eyes.
She looked at her empty cup as if she'd forgotten she was holding it. There was no way for her to be certain if Rider meant to refill it with the same sort of cider Thierry had helped her get. Knowing the dashing rogue here, though, he probably did.
Ellie's smile pulled to one side as she tilted her head. "Aye, then. Maybe a wee bit more wouldn't hurt." Horses and kittens or Rider? Difficult choice, that was.
