[Solar Daddy]

Callum woke slowly, but remained still for a bit to see if Emmalia would wake up on her own. When it was evident she wouldn't, he began to slowly escape from her clutches and did his morning routine. As quietly as possible, he put on the rest of his armor, then, after allowing Em to sleep in a bit longer, gently shook her shoulder.

 

[Dragongal]

Em's eyes opened wide when he shook her shoulder, then she mumbled something and laid her head down again. It took her a few seconds before she could force herself to sit up and say, "Why do you have your armor on?"

 

[Solar Daddy]

"I told you we'd be leaving for Cross Castle." He told Em, running his hand over her back gently. "Unless you'd like to stay longer. I just assumed some solitude could do you some good for recovering."

 

[Dragongal]

Em nodded as she sat up, then she noticed the ache in her hands, on her collarbone, and her cheek. She looked at her hands blankly, then held them out to Cal as if to say, "What do I do about this?"

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum looked down at her hands, then up at her, then back at her hands. "Are you alright?" He asked. "Maybe get something to wrap it in? We can stop by the healer on our way out of the city." Cal kissed her head gently.

 

[Dragongal]

Em nodded and looked at her hands again, then quietly said, "They just ache really badly. And they hurt to close. I don't know if a healer can help, but we can try." She brought her hand up to lightly touch her cheek, then asked, "How bad is this one?"

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum examined her wound on her cheek, seeing that it was badly singed, definitely the worst of her many scars. "It's not too bad." Callum waved his hand dismissively. "We'll have a healer look at it though just to be on the safe side. I want the best care for my wife."

 

[Dragongal]

Emmalia nodded, completely trusting him. "Okay." She got out of the bed and grabbed her armor, hesitating before starting to put it on. After yesterday, was it really best that she be armed...?

 

[Solar Daddy]

"Here, maybe you shouldn't get too much on. You're hurt, and you're in no condition to fight. I'll protect you." Callum said, putting a hand on hers.

 

[Dragongal]

Em smiled and only put on her gloves, leaving the rest in her pack. While they both knew that he was only doing this so she wouldn't be so uncomfortable, she greatly appreciated the way he phrased it so it wasn't so blatant.

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum smiled and walked with Emmalia out of the room, keeping her close to him. Cal felt very overprotective of Emmalia when she was as vulnerable as she is now, and didn't try to hide it at all. They past various people, buildings and shops on their way back to the throne room, and when they arrived, Cal spoke. "Your problem has been dealt with."

 

[Dragongal]

Lord Armage smiled and sat up. "That is the best news I have received in quite a while. Thank you, both for you. Of course your reward will be generous. But Lady Cross, you look like you've been injured, and rather badly at that. May I offer you the use of my court healer?"

Emmalia shook her head quickly. "No thank you, M'Lord. Our court healer knows me and knows how I react to certain magics. Callum and I are just going to go home."

Lord Armage nodded. "That is for the best - you both have more than earned a long rest in the comfort of your own home. I will have the reward loaded onto your carriage."

 

[Solar Daddy]

"Thank you, Lord Armage." Callum said and bowed, knowing he didn't have to due to his status as a warlord, but knew it pleased his fellow lords. After this, he walked with Emmalia to their carriage. "Do you think you'll make it? Or should we wait up for you to get more rest?"

 

[Dragongal]

Em shook her head. "No, we should go, I can rest in the carriage.." as they walked to their carriage, they saw another carriage pass them by - a black one, with a small flower-laden coffin on the back, followed by weeping mourners. Em just stared, knowing full well who was in that small box and what had killed them.

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum saw the carriage and stopped, turning Emmalia to face him, away from the carriage. "Emmalia, what happened was your fault." He kissed her passionately for a moment. "I love you, and everyone is thankful for what we did."

 

[Dragongal]

Em was shaking slightly as he turned her: she was remembering internally screaming, fighting the mage, and failing, being forced to give in to the voice in her head that took control away from her. When he kissed her, her attention was brought more to the present and tears started rolling down her eyes as she hugged him, tucking her head under his to try to hide against him. "What you did. I just got manipulated and used as a tool," she said quietly.

 

[Solar Daddy]

"Em, my Queen, if you weren't here, he would have taken control of me and had me do it all. If you weren't here, I wouldn't have been able to do this. I would've been used as a tool for as long as he needed and then he'd kill me. I'd be dead if you weren't here, and so would countless others if he kept living."

 

[Dragongal]

Em closed her eyes tightly and said, "Shh, I don't want to hear you say that. I don't want to think of him controlling you, or you dying. I never want you to have someone in your head like that." She saw his point, but the thought of him being controlled just hurt her. She added softly, "He never planned on letting me go, because I'm a vampire. That's why he could control me at such a distance too. But I don't want to hear you saying you could have... no."

 

[Solar Daddy]

"Then you know how much it tears me apart to think he had control over you." Callum looked into her eyes, remaining silent for a moment. "Come on, we should leave. You need your rest and I need some alcohol." Cal held her hand as he guided her back to their carriage.

 

[Dragongal]

Em got into the carriage, then said, "If you want, we can get alcohol for you for the ride back." She could understand why he would want to get drunk right now, and was willing to help find him whatever he wanted to drink. Both of them weren't exactly in their best states, with him worrying about her and her being.... out of it. The least she could do was offer him a drink.

 

[Solar Daddy]

"No, I'll do without for now. I'd rather get you back to the castle sooner than later, just so I can get buzzed. Plus I wouldn't want you to wake up, I'm rather obnoxious when I'm drunk." Cal gave her hand a squeeze. "I love you."

 

[Dragongal]

"I love you too," she said with a smile. She settled down in the carriage, leaning on him. Trying to keep the topic light, she softly said, "You know, I've never seen you drunk."

 

[Solar Daddy]

"It's horrendous. Last time I got truly drunk, I woke up in a cave with only a bowl of fruit, some incense, a rather beautiful rug, and around 12 sets of armor in total. I still never learned what happened besides a commoner saying he'd seen a lot of bare guards looking for their stuff."

 

[Dragongal]

Emmalia actually smiled and laughed at the mere thought. "I guess I'll have to get you drunk them, to actually see how it goes for you." She kissed his cheek, then laid down with her head on his lap, moving her hair so it draped over his leg and onto the rest of the seat as she got comfortable.

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum smiled down at Emmalia, running his hand gently through her hair. "Sweet dreams, love." He said, resting his head up against the wall of the carriage. He had hoped the story would keep Em's mind from thinking too much of the past, and it seemed to have worked.
