[8/10] 'Throw caution to the wind' they did. Ygraine could only focus on Asa, on the fact that people had come to take him but they'd kept them away - they'd fought, and they'd won, and Asa was so much more powerful than he ever gave himself credit for. She also, for whatever reason, couldn't forget that feral, defensive look he'd worn when they insulted her - how quick he'd been to come to her defense. The insults had meant very little in the context of the fight, but now? Looking back on it - it meant the world to her.
So maybe they got a bit carried away. But - it was well overdue, in Ygraine's opinion, and the joy of being able to be intimate with Asa without him recoiling from some misplaced sense of decorum was too much to turn down.
Soon enough, though, once the high of it all came down, Ygraine opened her eyes, from where she'd smothered her face into Asa's mussed up hair, and realized that the sky was darkening into evening. "We ought to return to camp." She pointed out, morosely, yet she made no effort to move and instead pressed a distracted kiss to his cheek, stroking her hand along his side.

Not once had Asa ever expected the day to turn out like this.
He'd been so wrapped up in the post-battle high he'd heard about so many times from fighters in these camps that he....that they....The young iceling turned his gaze upward, looking at his lady love through the veil of cobalt hair. They'd been intimate in ways he thought only a proper husband and wife should be, but the lack of a title didn't matter to Ygraine. She'd taken him as he was - always had - and for a moment he'd been able to show her how much her encouragements meant to him.
Today he'd felt more alive than he had in the entirety of his life.
He raised raised a leg to glide over the swell of her hip with a little murmur of disagreement. "We should." Asa very nearly pouted, but caught himself in the act. "But I would prefer not too."

[9/10] It just felt, in so many ways, like the world had aligned the way she'd wished it would all that time ago. Her and Asa, here together and alive and happy - it was wonderful. She liked Asa like this, relaxed as he was, petulant and cuddly, and she felt herself laughing, drawing him closer into her side, once again pressing her face into his hair, next to his cheek and shoulder. Her hand slipped up to idly trace over the necklace of crystals over his collarbones and upper chest.
"I know. Me too." She agreed softly, kissing his cheek. "But we've left poor Sev long enough. And - I'm looking forward to maybe... moving our sleeping spots closer together tonight?"

Asa's cheeks burned and he turned his eyes away from hers. "Ah - yes that would make sense considering we've-" He cleared his throat and started to get up. Between the fight and their coupling his body ached from ear to toe which meant that every little movement caused him pain. Still, it was a little vindicating seeing bruises on his body; bruises that had been brought on by physically demanding activities instead of bumping into a table end.
And seeing marks he'd put on her that were most definitely scandalous...
"Perhaps once we've tended to Sev we could...pick up?" Asa fiddled with the clasp of his pants for a moment before holding a hand out to Ygraine. In all honesty he was worried about what the other travelers would say once they saw them. A pair of young lovers, disappearing for most of the evening, coming back beaten and bruised...
"If I was enough to please you."

[10/10]
On that front, Ygraine was much less concerned. Plenty of the people they traveled with already thought the two were intimate, and this would be... a little embarrassing, but nothing terrible. That, and Ygraine at least had the understanding that in a camp of travelers, people tended to get intimate one way or another - be it by scurrying off to the wilderness for time alone, or loudly in the tents, uncaring of who heard them.
So far, their companions had been - polite.
But. All that mattered right now was Asa (and Sev's injury, of course), and Ygraine was just delighted that he was suggesting they... pick up - at all. She took his hand, squeezing it before she lifted it up to her lips to kiss. "Please. As if I could ever get enough of you." She trailed off, then winked, pink lips turned up into a coy smile. "I only hope you can finally stop calling me 'Miss Ygraine' after all of this."
