Thread: The Knight and The Damsel; Into the Unknown (Haru/Anna)

As James hand left her breast she felt as if he cared about her and what he had done just seconds ago seemed like a distant memory. She couldn't fully trust him and his size compared to hers didn't make it any better. They rode in silence and the sky was turning red as night crawled closer. Where would she have been now if it wasn't for James she asked herself. They suddenly stopped, Ila had been a little sleepy the last minutes having trouble keeping her eyes open but the change of activity woke her. He called her princess and she blushed trying to defend herself. I'm no princess... she said, being a bad liar and James knew for sure now who she was. Most people wouldn't feel a need to say they are not a princess in such a situation and she had made a misstake. James knew she was of noble blood, not just some relative but the actuall princess. James used magic, prepared magic, a part of the arts which was hard to create but powerful and useable for many for time to come. It was something the high elves had taught the humans when the two sides joined forces. The wood elves had been left with magic such as healing and reading the future in the stars which paled in comparison to tricks such as this one. Ila herself sometimes had visions yet she couldn't controle it. Ila took James help down from the horse and he lifted her like it was nothing until her bare feet hit the ground feeling the lovely feeling of dirt between her toes. Holding up her dress so it wouldn't drag along the dirty ground she tip toed carefully towards the cottage. She trusted his words. Her body moved so naturally and silent, as if it was floating. Her long legs compared to her height taking careful steps forward. Inside it was warm and cosy, it felt like a home. Even if this was far from how her kind decorated and lived she felt a feeling of safety. She felt shame as he spoke to her, explaining that he knew more or less who she was and that he know was in the same if not a worse position and he was probably right. If the two of them were found, she could have a chance of forgivness but he didn't. Filled with shame she avoided looking him in the eye, still so silent as before. Barely saying a word. She turned her back to him and let the dress fall off onto the floor which wasn't that big of a problem from the state it was in. Completely naked she walked towards the bath, her naked back towards James. Her round bottom slowly moving from side to side with her slow silent steps. While moving she put her hands up to her hair and let it free, her thick and long, brown hair falling down her shoulders and back. She was beautiful. She stepped into the tub standing in a corner of the room feeling the hot water caress her naked skin as she sat down in it. She rubbed her body gently, pouring water over her back but after a while she stopped. She looked at James, now with out his armor on. His body was dirty and sweaty from wearing the suit of armor all day. Ila felt even more shame as she observed him in secret. Thank you... For saving me... she finally said breaking the silence. The water went up to her shoulders, her knees sticking up above the surface infront of her as well in the narrow tub. She wanted to make up for what he had done to her and decided to offer her services as a servant, what else could she do? I could help clean you if you want? she asked imagining him having problem moving and fitting in the small source of water. He also looked like he needed a bath.
