Had that anything to do with the shadow in the corner? He was not sure if what he had seen was indeed Elthor but he knew something was amiss. ''Before you returned. I saw a shadow in the corner of the room. I thought it may be you, as it was dark and I could not properly see it. I went towards it and I may have seen Elthor. But as Elanor knocked on the door it seemed to disappear.'' Niko then felt guilty. Elanor He had not even offered Nienna an explanation as to what she had seen. He hung his head, slightly ashamed. ''Nienna. Elanor caught me by surprise in a kiss. I did not see her intentions quick enough. I promise you though, nothing happened. I do not want her.I am truly sorry.'' Niko refused to meet her gaze as he spoke. I should not have let her in, let alone kiss me.

Her eyes flashed to his "Did the shadow say anything?" Her eyes studied him as he explained about Elanor. The shock of seeing him with her had pained her, yet she knew he spoke the truth. It was just the sort of the Elanor would do. She covered his hand with his. "There is nothing to forgive. It is just the sort of thing she would do. And I can see how she would catch you off guard." her voice was gentle. But strained as she kept the pain in check. "It is not your fault."

He nodded, reassured by her words. Niko was grateful that she was not angry. After a pause "death. That was all it said" He stopped dabbing at her scars while he spoke "How do you feel now?" He lowered his head and softly kissed each of her scars in turn, he himself was not sure why he did it but if felt right to him.

"Death." she whispered. "Of course." He leaned forward and kissed her scars, and Nienna broke. The second he finished kissing her third scar, she reached up and pulled him close. "I was so scared. He said both of us would die. And I left you alone..." she held him tight. He could have died.

"Do not trouble yourself with guilt. I am fine and more importantly, so are you." How Elthor was causing them such problems after his death, Niko did not know, yet he knew that as long as they had each other, Elthor would fail. "He can not break us. He failed before and he will fail again." After a brief pause he spoke again, holding Nienna tighter, "whatever happens,stay with me. If something were to happen to you and I wasn't there to protect you, I would not be able to forgive myself"

She took shuddering breath. "Yes, Niko. Always." she had a thought, "First thing in the morning we find someone to marry us." she hissed through her teeth at the pain. Her hands moved to cup his face, and her gaze locked with his. "He won't win."

He nodded at her words '' No he shall not.'' Niko smiled as he thought of tomorrow. ''Yes, love. That will surely end him. As well as making me happy.'' He leaned back, slightly tired. ''Sleep. We have quite a day ahead of us tomorrow. Do not be scared, I am right here with you. You are safe'' He stroked her hair as she rested on his chest. Niko himself began to drift off.

She snuggled close, her arm thrown around him, and her head on his chest. As she began to fall into the black of sleep, the pain slowed to a dull ache. She pressed a kiss to the already sleeping Niko's chest before tumbling into sleep. Some hours later, she stirred as the morning's sun peeked through their window. She opened her eyes a tiny bit and was met by the view of Niko. She looked at him almost sadly. Last night had clearly done him in. She got up from the bed and walked to the small wash bin. She splashed water on her face, grabbed a towel and scrubbed. She sat in front of the mirror, and ran her fingers down her scars sadly.

Feeling Nienna stir and get up, Niko woke slowly. He was still exhausted by the events of the night before. He turned over to look at Nienna, his eyes barely open as they adjusted to the light. He thought she looked almost sad. He did not speak,he just lay there watching her.

She let her breath out of her, dropping her head and closing her eyes. Willing her sadness and self-consciousness about her scars away. She lifted her head and smiled in the mirror. Then walked to window, hugging herself and looking out into the cheery sunlight. Her face turned grim as flashbacks of the shadows and the shade played in her mind. She set her jaw. Elthor would not win. Particularly from the grave.

Niko continued to watch her. ''Good morning, love'' He didn't want to leave his bed just yet. Niko was looking forward to the day, today he would finally make her his wife. He would forever be able to keep her safe, she would be his as he would be hers. He looked at her, his love clearly showing in his eyes. ''I love you, sweetheart''

She turned from the window and smiled at him. "Good morning, my dearest." she went and sat next to him and brushed his hair off his forehead "And I love you, my love." she leaned down placing a soft kiss on his forehead. "You look like you could use more sleep." she looked at him, marveling in the way his bare chest looked in the daylight. She had only seen his body at night. "How in the world did I get so lucky? A man who is loving, kind and loyal..as well as handsome?" she smiled "Somehow I got the whole package."

He laughed at her words, somewhat flattered. ''You flatter me. Do not forget that I am also lucky.'' He lay his head in her lap, looking up at her. ''It would make sense for the perfect man such as myself, to have a perfect woman. And you are perfect for me'' Niko let out a light yawn. ''I am glad you are safe''

She quirked her eyebrow at him, smiling teasingly "So much for being humble." her hands cupped his face "And I am as well. I am glad you are safe too." she took her hands away and stretched, yawning. "We should find someone, and then I need to get ready." she smirked at him.

''We can go now if you wish. Perhaps the innkeeper is downstairs.'' He took her hand and brought it to his lips. In truth, he could not wait to marry her. It was all he wanted. She was his world now. ''You are certain you want to do this?''

As he asked her if she was certain, she smiled impishly and moved his head off her lap. She climbed on top of him, straddling him. She leaned down, pinning his hands above his head, and kissing him passionately. She broke the kiss and smiled mischievously. "Does that answer your question? Because if not, I could rephrase it..." she dipped her tongue into the hollow of his neck.
