Avaria glanced down at the interlocked hands, before watching the intereaction cautiously. She tensed, if only she could bend... or at least have her katana.. but all of it has been confiscated by the kingdom. She has been reduced to a useless servant, who couldn't even protect her lover.
She felt her heart drop, but she was willing to give her life for Nani.. Luckily, she didnt have to today, for they got away without a fight.
Trailing behind him, their hands holding each other, desperatly not wanting to loose each other..
”I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t tried to keep you as far from my father as possible they wouldn’t have taken such an interest in you,” She shook her head slowly, "No... no it isnt.." She lowered her head, feeling immense shame. 'Its my fault by being with you..' Avaria thought in secret, but immediately pushed the vile notion away. 'No. No. I love him.'
Her eyes shined with a reawaken determination. Lifting her head, her eyes met his. ”Listen, tonight… I think I need to go to the tournament to see if I can get anything. We need to get you a place to stay somewhere in the city until they leave,” Her usual stoic face seemed to convey surprise, and before she could even protest, he took her hands in his- she felt her legs weaken. ”I’m sorry… You know they rile me up and I act like this when generals are here,” And the look Nani was holding made her heart drop, and surprisingly, her eyes watered. But they still had a burning fire that made things seem okay, slowly collecting her thoughts, she spoke in a soft, but serious voice.
"Nani... I will be going with you, I dont want to be separated." She paused, "I dont trust anyone to protect me, more than you, and I dont trust you with anyone else either." With her next words, a gentle, and loving smile pulled at her lips, "Everything will be okay Nani, as long as we have each other.." Leaning in, she gave a lasting kiss, before backing away, "I'm stronger than you think."
