:shea had gone inside,still wishing he had left those marks she passed throught he lounge and went upstairs. Not a word or glance was given to anyone she might have passed along the way. ::
- Yet he already knew she was beating herself over what happened enough, without needing those scars to remind her. He would follow her up to their bedroom, before moving over to Adamina's crib. -
::Shea looked down to her sleeping daughter,and sighed lightly. Darng not to look at Victor at the moment, when she looked at Adamina she saw him any how, adaminas darkly tone hair and her dark eyes when she was awake. Shea didnt know where to begin,or how to fix this mistake.::
- And he finally looked to her a moment, as he placed a hand to her shoulder . -
::she looked up from the sleeping adamina to his hand on her shoulder. But she still would not look him in the eyes.::
- And he looked back to their daughter. -
::Adamina was sound alseep,sleeping like the little angel she was.She at last looked up at Victor. She didnt know what to say,or how to act.::
- And he looked down at her, right in the eyes.-
::she stood there still as a stone starring up at him,her eyes conveied what she could not, those dimly toned jade eyes. They were not brillant as they normally would be,for she knew the pain she had caused. She then looked away slowly,kissed her finger tips and pressed them to Adaminas cheek before leaving the crib side.::
- Yet he caught her by the shoulder, when she tried to leave -
::she turned and stopped when he caught her by the shoulder. Her eyes starred down at the floor at his shoes at the tiles upon the floor.::
- He then moved his hand to her chin, then slowly lifted her eyes to look into his -
::she shifted her head up feeling his fingers along her chin, her gaze then lifted to his.::
- Slowly his hand moved to cup her cheek. - I know you are suffering.
::she nodded simply:; I deserve to be... ::she felt his hand son her cheeks and looked up in to his eyes.:: After.... I deserve to be barred and chained... and kept... in some dungon...
Yet..all I ask is you stay here with me from now on..- Still looking her in the eyes, before leaning down to kiss her cheek. -
::she felt that kiss on her cheek and nodded,she had agreed to stay,she was not going off any where any time soon,or in the near future.::
- He then moved from her, and towards the door. Letting her spend time with their daughter..-
::she looked at him and smiled softly. Then she walked back towards the crib, and stood there looking down at Adamina. Once Victor had left the room she lifted the sleeping adamina from the crib, and sat down in the rocking chair.::
- But he stopped just outside the door, to look back in on them. A smile crossed his lips, before slipping on downstairs -
::she sat there rocking with her.She closed her eyes and leta few tears slid down her cheeks. She knew some how some way she had to make it up to Jade, had to make things right.::
::down stairs in the lounge three sat, salice,Willow and Shay talking in hushed voices about a meeting of some sort. :: I will be there ::Salice offered at last.:: Shay and Aiden will have to come with me, as Shea will not be leaving this castle any time soon ::Willow nodded:: Alright.. I'll pass this news on..
Victor came to a stop to hearing the voices, before stepping into the lounge. Arms crossed over his chest -
::Salice and Willow looked up to Victor. Shavyn then did so as well.:; I rthink I'll go see how Kulbin is doing with Kaleigh.. let me know when you wish to go seler ::she looked to salice once more before slipping out.::
Yet his arm shot out..Blocking the door way. Uh oh. - How long did you three know?
I just found out ::Shay looked to him, honestly,she had not known.::
Let her pass Victor::Salice rose:: Shavyn did not know, Only I and Willow knew... before hand
::Willow stood as well, she knew this had been coming.Salice had known too. Shay felt truly sorry for everything, and passed out the other way to give the three time to talk.::
- He lowered his arm to let her pass, before looking to Willow and Salice. Once Shay left, his eyes flickered slight for a mere moment. - Next time..you should step in..not let things get out of control..
It was not my place ::salice had been the second to know.:: Nor was it mine ::willow stated:: shea should have come clean with you,not come out with it to me, or Salice. She figured we understood.. and we did, but I think I can say that we are both truly sorry.
there will be no next time victor ::salice ensured him::
He eyed the two a moment. - Still.. you two knew what happened.. - He then turned to head back upstairs. Seems this...event had caused more harm than any thought -
::they watched him got hen exchanged a look.:: Seems we are at a war again, but inside this very castle ::salice noted and willow nodded.:; I will inform ye ina day or so when to meet me in Crendia... ::the goddess was then gone.::
::Shea sat in that rocking chair with adamina letting her tears drip down her chin. She held Adamina softly, tenderly.::
- It would pass in a few days with him. Victor was still pissed about what had happened, as he slipped back into the bedroom. After making a side trip to get a bottle of milk for Adamina..Then held it out to Shea. - Here..
::she took the bottle and looked up to him, and started to feed Adamina once she woke, she knew he was mad, pissed off at her at those who had known and not said anything.::
He smiled down to them both, before moving to sit down beside her. Lightly running his fingers through Adamina's hair. -
:;Adamina drank that milk and Shea rocked her softly while watching Victors hand go through adaminas dark hair. ::
Maybe we should...take a vacation...Just the three of us. - Finally whispered to Shea -
: ::her brows rose at that.:: maybe.. ::she looked down to adamina then.:: where would we go? ::the bottle was empty and adamina nuzzled back in to sheas arms.::
He shrugged softly - We could..travel the lands..
::she nodded to that,maybe time away together was just what they would need. She looked down to adamina then back to him.:: aye
- He nodded softly to that, and moved to stand up. Then started to pack what they would need -
::she watched him, he inteneded to leave right away shea could see that. She looked back down to the sleeping adamina,then to him again. Shea knew she wouldnt blame him if he only packed his and adminas things and left ehr out in the wild some where to die, shea knew she might deserve as such.::
- Yet he looked over to her. - Just going to sit there? - Trying to joke with her. -
::she slowly rose with Adamina in her arms and crossed to him. She would hand Adamina to him before slipping on her cloak.::
- And he carefully took Adamina, then waited for her to get ready. Then turned to head out -
::she was read with in only a moments notice, then once ready to head out took adamina back in her arms.::
- And he slowly slipped his arm around Shea's shoulders, as he carried their bags over his outher shoulder -
::she moved in a touch closer to him as they moved out of the room, she didnt know where they were going but it didnt much matter to her. She would do anything to make things right again.::
- And once they started out. He slowly started to rub her arm, much like he did before all this happened -
::she smiled dimly, at the feeling of his hand rubbing over her arm, they were leaving together, at the very least things atrted off on the right foot.::
- That they were, and as nigth came..He set up camp, and got a fire going, before looking over to Adamian and her. -
::she sat there with adamian all bundled up in her arms they were just beyond the dark enchnated forest, resting in the plains of fairwinds,witht he woods as their back drop for the eve. Adamina cooed up ats eha and shea was pointing out stars to the little one.::
- He moved over to join them, and helped out with pointing the stars out to her.. As well as pointing out where each kingdom was -
::shea smiled looking down at adamina as she cooed and reached for victors fingers as he pointed. Shea was glad they had left just the three of them.::
- And he let her grab his finger, as he was glad Shea agreed for this trip..Before looking to her again . -
::Shea smiled looking down at adamina then up at him. Her smile faded slowly then. Adamina cooed and hung on to Victors finger as she started to fall alseep. Shea knew that Victor had been taking such very good care of their daughter.::
- He wiggled his finger abit in Adamina's grasp, before smiling lightly to Shea. -
::Adamina was quickly back to sleep and Shea would let him lay ehr down, he had set up everything so well,a place for them all.::
- Which he would do, before moving back to her side..Now taking her hands in his, as he sat in front of her -
::she glanced to his hands,hers fit so well in them, then up his arms and then to his face, ridden with pain and all that she herself had put him through. In his eyes she gazed.::
- And he gazed back into her eyes, showing the same pain..yet still there was that deep love he had for her. -
:: she knew he still loved her, and she still loved him, she was comitted to him, and didnt know where to begin to make things really right, she would stay with him stay by his side,do anything he asked of her. :: Victor...
- And he slowly pulled her closer, and wrapped his arms around her. Then closed his eyes - Shhh
::she found herself pressed in close to him, breathing him in as her arms went around her, she closed her eyes and let the moment wash over her, her hands gripped on tightly to him.::
- And he started to run one hand along her back, with the other running through her hair -
:;she pressed herself in close to him, brathing him in,she slid her hands up his back slowly. Tilting her head tohis hand as it ran through her hair,she pressed herself close to his chest and whispered just faintly.:: my dear sweet,evening star... ::her voice was chocked by tears though.::
Shh my morning star...- Whispered back to her, letting her cry out those tears, he knew she was holding back. -
::she pressed in closer to him and let herself cry against his chest. She lifted her head just slightly from his chest to gaze up in to his eyes. Her cheeks were tear streaked puffy and red ,her hand s slid over his shoulders and to his cheeks.:: I am so sorry.... ::she gazed in to his eyes.:: So very sorry...
I know my love..- Whispered as he rested his brow to her's - Just promise nothing like this will ever happen again..
: ::she rested her brow to his::I promise. Never ....again... ::she sniffled softly as she starred in to his eyes, he was the only one she wanted to be with, the one man she loved,more than life itself.::
