Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yes, yes he's the one who helped free you. I owe him much as well, but him and I have a, hate-love relationship." he explained, chuckling. "Your body may belong to me, but it's yours, originally." But he continued to wash the other gently, not sparing an inch to be humble or conservative. Elliot had to assume they had touched him everywhere. "Yu'll have to sit up. I can't reach all of your legs." He said, moving Leo so he could lean agianst the wall while Elliot ran the cloth over the other's legs. He didn't love Leo, not at all. Sure he loved men, but not Leo, Leo didn't see himself as a man. He'd have to beat some sense into that Prime Minister. "We can go back to sleeping, after this. Would you like that?" He asked, silver eyes looking into the blue ones.

"I'll sleep." He said, making the sure other was rinsed off before getting up, placing his arms under the teen and lifting him out of the bath. ""We can sleep the day awa, Lily." And kissed his head, grabbing a towel and covering him the best he could before sitting him down, wrapping a towel around his own waist. Leonard was adorable, lifting him back up he exited the bath, looking at a maid curiously as she paused, looking at him before recognizing him.

"My prince?"

"A small spell, could you open my door?"

She opened it quickly, closing it again and leaving as Elliot entered, placing Lily on the bed and removing the towel, covering him with the blankets. Elliot really hated the Prime minister, he wouldn't have minded being blind to his own emotions for a few more weeks. But he shook his head, shifting into the bed as well, the edge so if Leo were to get kidnapped again, they'd have to move Elliot. Wrapping his arms around the other, the prince held the bentien close, lips once again on the other's forehead. "Sleep well, Leo." He murmured, not caring he'd use the true name, silver eyes closing.

the smallest of whimper's made Elliot's ears twitch, listening as the movement indicated lily was moving. Tired eyes opened in time to see Lily sit up, the prince's arm falling down and moving as Leo fell back down. "Lily, are you all right? Did you have a nightmare?' And gently stroked the other's face. "You're dizzy." he teased with a tired smile. Elliot knew the feeling, he'd sat up quickly as well, though he'd ignore it and stand up before falling to the floor. "It was a nightmare, don't worry. I'm right here to protect you, Lily."

Elliot held the other, slightly confused. Someone was looking for him? For Leo? "You mustn't worry, if they are as kind as your memory recalls, then I am sure they will not mind how they see you." If anything they would blame the kingdom's, Elliot's own kingdom no doubt will be put at fault for Lily's appearance. He stroked his hair calmly. "You are beautiful, Lily. Don't worry. There was a cart of papers in my room, but it would appear the servants have gone to organize them. We can leave as early as tomorrow for Falia." He explained, lifting the other's head. "If you would like, I will buy you new clothes so they do not think any less of you."

Elliot kissed the other's lips briefly. "Then I will not force you. If you do not want to dress as a male, then you can continue to dress as a female. I do not mind. I am happy with you regardless of what you wear, Lily." he rested his forehead against his, silver eyes closed. "Change does indeed take time, so we can take all the time needed." And Elliot would wait like a pathetic fool, the prime minister teasing him in the background for it. Someone was searching for Leo, and truth be told Elliot was afraid of letting him go. But he wouldn't admit that. "I wish for you to do whatever you wish."

"You like to point that out." He murmured, accepting the kiss with a smile."and if need be I'll continue waking up just to make sure you're okay. You're my friend and I care about you." But then the humming hit his ears, and Elliot knew he was done for. Leo's singing, it just always made him relaxed. "remember, you said you'd learn my mother's lullaby." He reminded the other, adjusting and shifting under the blankets to where his nose was covered. He had wanted to tell Lily something, but it slipped his mind as sleep entered, the prince soon falling asleep beside the Falian.

Elliot's body decided it was time to wake up, no doubt 3am, when many maids and servants were waking up. He exhaled, ears lifting and turning before he took in the minute feeling on his shoulder. He didn't need to open his eyes to guess who it was, instead he turned and hugged the bentien rather sleepily. There was no point in questioning the other's antics. "The sky is still black." He sighed, remembering his hair and giving another sigh before rolling onto his bakc, arm hanging over the edge of the bed as silver eyes confirmed his thought. Was he awake so early because he had slept an entire day away? "How are your joints, Lily? Do they still hurt?" And he sat up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He room was incredibly dark, the moon moving to make way for the soon to come sun. He wasn't going to get back to sleep. A walk in the garden's would do nicely, play his lute. "If you are feeling up to it, care to go for an early morning stroll?"
