Brothel AU for draconita

[darotisentys]

[It's only been a day, but he is anxious to get back to her. He won't say he's desperate to go to the brothel, because that's not the case. He would want her no matter where he found her.

The brothel is it, however, and once he's gathered with his men and orders given for the day, meals taken and a bath, he manages to sneak out once more and go to where he knows he'll find her.

His Alys.

He doesn't take his time. He's at the door as soon as he can and enters as quietly as possible, not wanting to draw a scene. He doesn't stop until he's found her.]

[darotisentys]

As careful as I always am.

[Translation: Not very.]

[draconita]

[ Not at all, she's certain.

Bit oh, she looks at her, and it's almost like begging, almost a reproach, soft hand cupping his cheek. ]

[darotisentys]

[He sighs.]

I will do my best.

[draconita]

... Good boy.

[ Is it relief? Perhaps. But something continues to soften her her eyes, and it is enough. ]

You will stay the night?

[darotisentys]

[That request clearly surprises him.]

I had not planned on it.

[draconita]

I only asked so as to make preparations. The night grows cold; you might as well take your rest here than bother with the trip back.

[ A coy little smile, a little tease. ]

You could send me away, as well, in case you miss your privacy.

[darotisentys]

I should go.

[He's not moving, though.]

Would you stay with me?

[draconita]

If that's what you want, aye.

[ A finger, playfully tapping his nose. ]

I would stay with you.

[darotisentys]

I want to hold you.

[draconita]

[ She laughs then, softly, kissing his temple. ]

You're holding me already, sweetness. Although you are terribly overdressed for bed.

[darotisentys]

I have slept like this before.

[That's how he'd like to stay.]

You may dress again if you wish.

[draconita]

I have slept like this before.

[ Terrible she-cat. ]

Waiting for enemies to burst though our windows, my prince? We could bring your sword to bed as well, if you so desire it.

[darotisentys]

I do not need to sleep with my sword.

[He tightens his arms around her, leaning his head on her chest.]

You are all I want.

[draconita]

And here you have me.

[ It is easy to hear it: the strong, steady beating of her heart. She kisses the crown of his head. ]

For as long as you may need me.

[darotisentys]

[He settles against her and closes his eye, eventually drifting off to a rather peaceful sleep.]
