Snippet #2126096

As he darted through the rain Nicholas could not help but categorize the small droplets of water as daggers of a cool substance trying to dampen away his own warmth, but his thoughts were shattered when he heard Celena call out from behind him. It was true that he had darted before her, even cheated a bit when he knew that beating her to the castle was no hardship on his behalf. Once under the safety of the castle balcony, he spun around to see the woman still running through the rain with a smile spread from one ear to the other. Her golden locks(if I remember correctly she had blond hair) stuck to the back of her neck and on her cheeks as she tried to catch up to him.

Just as she was about to reach solid ground, she slipped. Mud glided off her shoes as she was lifted into he air and then returned to the ground on her buttocks. Laughter, it was all Nicholas had as he saw his love tainted in mud and soaked to the bone in the night rain. "I'm sorry," his voice uttered when he was able to take a full breath from his own laughter. "I haven't seen that move done in quite some time now... are you alright?" he asked, his eyes gleaming from the laughter dulled into worry and concern. Nicholas stepped out into the dagger drops and grasped her arm before lifting her from her feet into his chest.

"Now look at you..." he did a quick look over the princess, "you're gonna catch a cold love." He chuckled again, though the worry still held true his blue eyes.
