Thread: After the War (Razgriz x Lagertha)

Tiri'ol had bags under her eyes, and she was barely keeping her eyes open as the children played and talked. The Maidens were full of life too, but it was the crew that approached her she didn't hear coming, normally she would have noticed them there right away. This time however, Tiri'ol jumped when she heard their footsteps gripping Yuit's clothing before relaxing her hold with a sigh. She turned her head to watch the lot of them, seemingly getting along as Yuit awoke and crawled free of her embrace. Tiri'ol sighed, letting her hands rest in her lap as Yuit tried to hide behind her braided hair and tails. The act was worthless, considering her hair was pulled together. Still Tiri'ol spread her tails so Yuit could hide amongst them. Miwa. Tiri'ol smiled at him as she listened to the conversations, the kids stopping their playing with the maidens to come gather around Orgoth. Still, the clanking of his swords made Tiri'ol jump her arms raising defensively in his direction. Your highness! The maiden next to her called, watching Tiri'ol's reflexes. Tiri'ol relaxed, exhaling as she gripped her forehead and shook her head. Is everything alright? Mama? Yuit climbed up her back to sit on her shoulder. He put a small hand against her pale cheek feeling the clammy skin. Tiri'ol turned her head to look at Yuit and smiled at him. You don't look good. Yuit's tail folded down and Tiri'ol's ears were folded on her head. She moved, picking Yuit off her shoulder and setting him in her lap. I don't want to be near the scary beast! Yuit cried, climbing out of her lap to sit on her side. Tiri'ol closed her eyes sighing. I'm sorry. I didn't sleep and I don't feel well. Tiri'ol admitted. Tiri'ol pressed her palms into the ground and pushed herself on her feet. Her braid fell forward, resting over her shoulder and dangling near the ground as the children listened to Orgoth. Shall I get Yade to cook you up something? The Maiden with the summer hair, Qill, asked as she watched the queen. I can grab a servant for you, my lady, and we can watch after Yuit if don't feel well. The Queen doesn't feel good? Here! I got a magic flower! Tiri'ol looked down at the children, smiling as a small girl brought her up a pink flower she had plucked. Tiri'ol smiled, taking it gratefully from her hand. Thank you sweetie. I'll be sure to keep it by my bed. IF you don't mind, I think I'm going to lay back down. Qill looked at Yuit who gripped onto Tiri'ol's long hair as she moved to walk away. Tiri'ol lifte dup a sleeve looking down at Yuit as he stared up to her. Go with Qill and Ae, Yuit. You need to eat breakfast and play. I'm afraid I don't feel good enough to stay for breakfast. Tiri'ol hated feeling sick, or having nightmares, and she wished she hadn't disrupted Yuit's sleep as well. She knew Miwa knew that she still had them, but it wasn't something they would talk about in public, especially around someone form the outside. No! Yuit cried, clinging onto her dress. Come here Yuit, let the queen rest. Qill grabbed him, pulling him off Tiri'ol's dress as he threw a tantrum. I don't want to! I want to be with mama! Yuit puffed out his cheeks, causing his face to turn purple. Tiri'ol sighed watched Qill squeeze his cheeks together to let the air out. No more of that now Yuit! You are with Qill and I! You'd best behave like the others! Ae spoke, fists on her hips as she glared at him, making Yuit whimper and nod. We'll tell Yade you aren't feeling well. Qill spoke softly and Tiri'ol nodded smiling at Miwa as she rested a hand on his shoulder patting it. I'm glad it looks like you all got along. Tiri'ol lifted up the bottom of her robe moving to go past her guards back to her hut to lay down. I have some left over food from last night, make sure Yade brings one of the boars to my room to feed on the leftovers, if he can't bring a servant. I don't want to over work the poor thing. Tiri'ol kept a hand on her forehead moving past them as she walked back to her hut. She wasn't really sure how she had managed to make it to her room, but she did. The door was closed but Tiri'ol stripped off all her clothing, and laid naked on the bed stretched out. She put a pillow on top of her head, as if that might drown out the noises from the morning.
