Welcome to Gaia! ::

Roran sat there thinking after he had finished, just staring into open space. He was afraid Akori might have taken the news badly. Roran knew Akori wasn't fit to rule. He truthfully was too laid back. But Akori might not see himself like that. Ugh, I hope he's okay with what I said. Sighing, he stood. "What I need is some sleep." Him and Xander had riden through the night to get here, Roran hadn't slept in two days now.

Walking to his room, he didn't say anything to anyone. Getting to Amaya's room, he noticed the door was still open. I shouldn't disturb her until morning. She probably is being overwhelmed. Going one more room down to his, he opened the door slowly, yawning as he did so. Closing the door behind him, when he turned to find his bed occupied, he was a bit shocked. It took a moment for him to fully recognize who it was, and then he could only smile. He didn't know what brought her to sleep in here, but he didn't care. Changing into his night pants as quietly as possible, he left his shirt and jacket over there as well. Getting into the bed on the opposite side as her, he gently crawled in and layed down. Kissing her shoulder, he smiled again. "Good night my wife." The words left his mouth in an extremely quiet whisper.

(( She just....did. >.> ))

Vivian was worried about Hector since she hadn't seen him inside at all, pulling her cloak on once more as she slipped through the halls to the stables, bringing Delene out. She walked up to him, lookind down at him from Delene. "You'll catch your death out here." She said softly with a smile, sliding off of Delene, the great black mares eyes resting on him as well. "Why don't you come inside? I'm sorry I pushed you away, I just...i just needed to be alone for a while." She gave him a sad smile, offering her hand to him to help him up.

((oh right, my bad....ok...thnx))

Hector jumped as he saw Vivian above him. "Care to give me a heart attack?" he asked neatrally, a miniscular smile forming by his mouth. He nodded, "I understand" though he wasn't sure what he was saying it was as if someone was speaking for him.

Akori inhaled, "slow down tiger, she's gone, and I just told you I dunno where she went, you might have to check Syra, maybe she's there with Roran...now how about you just get yourself some food before you go sister hunting?" he said, calmly. He was probably the calmest of all of them at this point, either that or he had a good way of hiding his anxiety.

"oh did she?" he asked with a smile, "that's good, that...thats very relieving" he added, looking up at her. "don't worry, it's fine, I know why you did it...or at least I think I know" he said, "everyone needs some alone time evry now and then right?" he asked, smiling still.

Vivian nodded, smiling as she breathed in relief, placing a soft kiss upon his lips. "It's just...she reminded me so much of my father before he died...and I've never really gotten over his death so I just...needed to be alone. I'm sorry." She told him, her hand falling down to his as she nodded, "Yes, sometimes we just do. come on, your making me worry since you've been out here so long."

Vivian nodded, kissing his cheek as she straightened up as well, climbing up onto Delene. "Right, I know." She smiled reassuringly to him, a hand patting Delene's neck. Most would consider her crazy for riding bareback, but if Delene didn't want a saddle or bridle, then she wouldn't put it on her. "Alright, if you say so. Though, I'm one to talk, I used to sleep in a cave once in a while." Chuckling a little, she turned her horse towards the castle.

Vivian lowered her eyes, knowing he was joking, but still it did sting a little. "Well, we could head back inside, though would you want to? Oh, Hector...if Roran and Amaya are ever to be unable to rule, we are to rule in their stead." She told him, inwardly hitting herself for not thinking of it sooner. She was still getting that through her head, she would rule in her sisters stead...Roran's reasoning did make sense though she supposed.

Vivian kept her eyes lowered, hearing him, not needing to see his face to know his reaction. "Do you think I want to be queen anymore than you do? It would mean that..." She turned Delene, just so he couldn't see her face. "I know I'm going to loose her no matter what, and I fear I may outlive her...but Roran appointed that to us. Erika and Xander don't know each other that well, and Akori isn't fit to rule, he'd probably just want to stay with Amy anyways. He trusts us Hector...Because he asked me to, I will even if I don't want to." She said softly, trying to hide how her voice shook as she thought about her sister. She couldn't see them too well, not at all I think...
