Athelis chuckles. “Called it.” She smiles when he kisses her cheek and stands back and sets the food on the table: rabbit stew with vegetables. “Enjoy.”
Athelis smiles and nods and sits down, waiting until he’s gotten most of it to eat. She chuckles. “You really are hungry. Do you want me to make more?”
He lifts his shield, but collapses when the sword hits him, knocking him off balance. "Ow ow ow. Nice hit. Mmmmmm." He shakes his arm. "Uhg, my whole arm's gone numb."
Athelis sighs. “Not just that... the way we behave towards each other. I was talking to one of the sailors, and he asked me... he asked me when our wedding was.”

Athelis smiles and hugs him back. “I should’ve known you would be happy about this. I do like you, but it’s not just that. I love you.” She sighs and closes her eyes.
