"You don't...hav...ok..." she could feel the tingles starting already and she smiled at him. "You spoil me." she yawned. She curled up close to him, glad he was there. "have you been sleeping well?" she suddenly sat up, concerned for him.

"Yes,love. Do not worry yourself"
In truth he had been sleeping better, void of any nightmares and his chest hadn't bothered him.he hoped it would last.
His hands rubbed her back, moving to her neck and all the way to her hips and returning to her back.He loved doing that for her.

She sighed in delight "You know exactly how to relax me." she stretched under his hands. She loved the way his hands moved, and she fancied he possessed magic of his own. Her muscles relaxed right away under his touch. "Le hannon" she smiled.

" You are welcome, angel. I enjoy relaxing you so"
He moved closer to her, holding her as close as he could.
"I am glad you are safe, love. I feared for your life"
He began stroking her arm lovingly, he spoke the truth. The thought of losing her to Elanor terrified him.
"You could never be replaced" he whispered.

Her arms went around him. "As am I. I could not bear being parted from you in any way." at his next words she held him tighter. "Neither could you." she buried her head in his neck, inhaling the scent of him. He brought her so much joy and peace.

Niko was content to lay there with her for a time, feeling the warmth of her skin against his, he could not picture himself with anyone else.
"Would you like me to make you breakfast?"
Without waiting for an answer he pulled on his pants and wrapped her in a cloak and carried her to the kitchen,all the while grinning at her. Setting her down he spoke "what does your heart desire?"
He himself was also hungry.

She looked at him and blinked, then laughed "I am content, although if you feel like putting some hot water on I would love some tea! Thank you!" she grinned at him, he was so doting!

(just a heads up, I won't be able to get on for a couple days...mini vacation will post when can and if possible though!)

(Alrite, don't worry Enjoy! )

Niko smiled and nodded and began boiling some water for her tea.
''Well, my queen. How would you like to spend today?''
He finished and handed her her cup of tea.
''There you go, love'' Niko sat down next to her and began taking swigs of yet another bottle of ale.

"Hm..." she thought as she sipped her tea. Then she decided "I want to go hunting off grounds!" she exclaimed. They would take horses. Well, at least she would. She grinned "It's a chance for me to work on my archery!" she laughed "Please say you'll come!"

''It is true that you need all the practice you can get. It would be entertaining to watch. Yes, I would not miss it.''
He took another swig of his ale and began eating some bread.
Niko could just imagine how funny it would be to see Nienna attempt to shoot an arrow at a moving target. A grin showed on his face as he imagined her attempting to hunt with a bow.

"I can do it!" she said, "Just watch!" she laughed at the look on his face. "So, you are up for it?" she eyed him. Maybe this would turn into a competition.

He returned her gaze and raised his eyebrow.
''I hope you do not mean this to be a challenge. If it is my dear Nienna you shall be sorely humiliated.''
He stood up and poked her side, as if daring her to challenge him.

"oh? So you think!" she winked at him before suddenly rising and tackling him. She nipped at his ear and neck "We shall see.." she let the cloak fall a bit, and grinned wickedly at him. "Dear king, you may have just underestimated your queen!"

Taking in the sight of her body as the cloak lowered slightly he couldn't help but grin.
''We shall soon see.''
He pulled her into a kiss.
''Shall we go and prepare?''

"race ya!" she jumped up and ran up the stairs, and quickly donned a riding outfit and strapped on regular vambraces to protect her arm from the bow string. She grabbed the bow and the quiver of arrows she draped over her shoulders.
