It wasn't until the sun was beginning to rise that the two were completely exhausted. Terryn layed back on the seat with Marcus still on top of her, the blanket they kept in the carriage the only thing clothing them. Her hair was unkempt and she was breathing heavily. Still, she was very content. "I wonder how much poor Chester heard."

Marcus chuckled. "He probably started humming to himself after the first few minutes." He bent down to kiss Terryn's neck. "Unless he's one of those lecherous men."

"Probably." Terryn giggled lightly at his kiss, feeling ticklish and relaxed. "Perhaps he is hard of hearing so he did not have to endure too much."

Marcus shrugged. "I doubt that he would have minded." Marcus looked behind him out of the window. "We're not far away from our destination."

"Already?" Terryn was convinced that it was going to take much much longer to get to Greece. She wasn't exactly complaining though, since she was just anxious to finally do what they were waiting to do for what seemed like so long.

"Not Greece, exactly. Chester suggested that we stop here and rest for a bit before taking a boat," Marcus explained. The climate had changed. It was warm and humid, even in the early morning, and the air was fragrant with something foreign.

"Oh..." Terryn nodded, shutting her eyes delicately. "Sounds like a good plan to me." She smiled, running her fingers through Marcus's hair and gently scratching his scalp.

Marcus smiled, closing his eyes. "And then we can terrify the crew and other passengers with our antics on the boat," he said, stroking Terryn's cheek.

Terryn laughed quietly to herself. "Antics...that would be putting it lightly." She turned her head to kiss his hand and yawned slightly. "Have we time for a small nap before we pull up to port?"

Marcus looked out the window again. "A very, very small one, perhaps." He began getting dressed. No matter how much Chester may have heard, it simply would not do to have him open the coach door and find them in this state.

Terryn yawned, stretching her arms above her head before she reached for her gown. She got dressed, trying to tame her hair as best she could before getting under the blanket again, her eyes heavy.

Marcus couldn't put his finger on it, but something within him was twitching uncontrollably with a sort of feverish anticipation. Finally. After all this, it was going to amount to something. Perhaps this wasn't just to spite the elders, he mused. Maybe he just wanted an excuse to marry Terryn before anything could delay it further.

"Come here." Terryn tugged on Marcus's arm, bringing him towards her and resting against him. "Are you excited?" It was a seemingly random question, but one that had been on Terryn's mind for a minute or two.

"Unbelievably so," said Marcus without any hesitation. He answered almost before Terryn had finished asking. His eagerness was almost laughable, childish, practically. He had to smile. "And you?"

Terryn looked up at Marcus, her expression conveying her answer better than words could. She kissed him gently, playing with the diamond ring on her finger.
