Thread: After the War (Razgriz x Lagertha)

Miwa was not taken aback by the request an outsider would have definitely found it strange that a Queen was asking her guard to share the same bed as her. However, those with knowledge about this relationship would see that she trusted and cared about Miwa quite a bit, the two of having been through enough to make even the bitterest of enemies the closest of allies. Rumors had spread about whether or not Miwa and the Queen were to mate and though the former certainly did not object to the notion, he also didn't want to push the Queen into that. She'd lost so many already, and doing that so suddenly could very well push her over the edge. Of course, m'lady but first, let me get this food out of here he then told her with a gentle smile, picking up the tray with the leftovers. Not surprisingly, a good bit of it remained. I promise, Queen Tiri'ol, that I will accompany you to sleep tonight. Orgoth and Yade meanwhile, were busy trying to reason with the energetic youngsters Yade in particular was cautioning Orgoth to not be too brash with his language. Something that giant seemed to have no trouble in doing, which was thankful because the last thing he wanted was to make the children truly upset. Yade...Please go get the Queen. I will stay here until she comes out or declares herself unable to. he stated to the Kitsune, turning to the four youngers as he set down his platter, It is very nice to meet the four of you. While I'm sure she would love to meet you all, young ones, but the Queen needs her rest. Otherwise, I doubt she would be able to truly appreciate your work. But when Yade gets back to see how she's doing, I'm sure he'll have no trouble letting you see her. Now that was something Yade wasn't expecting from someone like Orgoth, but it brought a ray of joy that he could be so caring towards children. Giving a nod, he then headed inside only to see Miwa leaving her chambers. Oh, there you are I was wondering where you had gone. Yade then said, catching the other Kitsune off-guard. Yade, what brings you here? he then asked, the elder replying I had brought our large friend something to hold him over, and four of the younger ones from the textile group came asking for our Lady's judgment on tapestry and to apparently clean Yuit's bed. Oh and Pip made a dress for her, wanting her to try it on. Miwa coughed, adding I don't think that's wise right now she seems better, but I would leave her be for the moment. Nodding Yade then said, Of course, but I do need to ask her something regardless. Miwa shrugged his shoulders, Don't cry to me when she tosses you out. before leaving the hut. Now that's a peculiar statement was she really that bad off? But then, he couldn't even begin to comprehend the severity of her nightmares. Going to her door, he then rapped gently, Lady Tiri'ol? I apologize for inconveniencing you with another visitor, but I just wanted to be sure you were alright. Now, Yade knew that the Queen often put on a brave face for the sake of keeping peace in the village, but this time felt different. Like the nightmares had truly shaken her. I just wished to inform you that a bird had come in. Lord Felis of the neighboring Kingdom was asking for your presence about a newly discovered stretch of land that he thinks will be beneficial to both our people. His note said little, but his surveys of the land have apparently discovered it is ripe with resources. he then said, adding And if you're not too busy, some of the younger Kitsune have come to you about your festival attire.
