[Solar Daddy]

Callum nodded his head slowly and smiled. "Well, if rumors are going to be made either way, we might as well embrace them." He gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek. "And, of course you're not just my adviser. You're my companion, my partner. You're the closest person to me in my life right now Em, don't ever think you're anything less than that." He gave her hand a gentle squeeze and got a little closer to her.

 

[Dragongal]

Emmalia smiled slightly at his words. "So, will we tell the servants and the like that I'm your adviser? If it's what you want, I'm okay with it." After a few silent seconds, she added, "I'm still wondering if I shouldn't change my name, at least for a while... but I think it's pointless, I'm already well established as Emmalia."

 

[Solar Daddy]

"I think you should keep your name. I couldn't call you something else without laughing." He smiled softly. "Listen, I couldn't care less what you want to be known as. If you want to be called my companion, my adviser, or my courtier. As long as you're still by my side it won't matter. Sure, Ander might be able to find us easier, but he knows me by now. If he finds out a became a Lord, I doubt it wouldn't be hard for him to find us. It most likely won't matter if you're Emmalia or not, so I say continue to be my Emmalia."

 

[Dragongal]

A vague smile crossed her face. "Your Emmalia. I'd like that." She squeezed his hand. "We'll just say I'm your advisor." Any other problems that came to them, they could confront together.

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum smiled softly and enjoyed the rest of the ride there. The castle was the exact same way he had left it in all those years ago, a beautiful, large estate hidden off in the tall, thick walls of the warlord base. They drove the carriage in, where a small crowd had gathered in the streets of a small town closest to the castle, to see Callum after his disappearance for so long. Some cheered for his return, while others booed. When they arrived, they had a few minutes to talk before the advisers arrived, and whisked Callum away to begin the long hours of training to be the lord of the castle. They had left behind one of their guards with Emmalia to guide her to wherever she wanted to be, since they assumed she didn't know how to get around.

 

[Dragongal]

The last time Emmalia had been at the castle, she had practically been a prisoner. She certainly hadn't been there willingly. But she put that thought out of her mind - this wasn't Gallium's anymore, it was Callum's. She was just looking forward to a nice warm bath after their 5 days of travel. A nice night in an actual bed would be good too.

 

[Solar Daddy]

After the day had ended and the brink of dusk melted into night, Callum finally found himself free of his advisors and made his way back to the room. Now, however, he stayed where his father would normally - since he was king of the castle, now. The walk through the courtyard and then the multiple defensive towers brought him a sense of nostalgia as he wound his way up spiral staircases and sent through familiar hallways, eventually ending up where he were to sleep, finding Emmalia there.

 

[Dragongal]

Emmalia had just walked in from the large bathing room to the side. The number of female attendants bringing towels and scented soaps and the like had overwhelmed and flustered her - there were too many strange, expensive smells assaulting her at once. Finally she had sent all of the attendants besides one capable young miss away with strict orders to not gossip. Then she was able to actually get some unscented soaps and privacy to undress. In her parent's castle, the attendants had been kind enough to leave her alone - and, of course, they weren't so excited to meet their "new mistress" for the first time.

Emmalia, dressed in a clean shirt and loose pants that had been found in the servant's quarters, sat on the bed brushing her hair when Callum arrived. She smiled to him and said, "Well, hello, dear. Have a nice tour of your own home?" Her tone was slightly sarcastic, knowing he had been annoyed by the advisers.

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum grunted in response, too fed up with all of the advising, touring and explaining he had gone through for the past couple of hours. "It's like revisiting my lost youth." He joked back before collapsing into the bed. "Did you enjoy your maids and scented soaps?" He knew all about how pestering they could be, since Camilla had told him all about it when they were younger. Every time new ones were brought in, they'd always baby her and treat Camilla like a prissy child. Little did they know, she was more tough than Callum was. He suspected they'd treat Emmalia the same way.

 

[Dragongal]

Emmalia rolled her eyes. "Gods, what is it with nobles and vanilla? Nearly made me sick, all the scents, especially the vanilla." She sighed and shook her hair out a bit before resuming brushing it. "I sent them all away except one who I let stay in the next room. Finally, though, we're alone for the moment." She looked up at him with a tired smile. "And you're now a Lord, too. And I'm an advisor. What now? Does Camilla know? She can take over for you whenever we want to travel, if she's willing...." Would Cal still even want to travel? Before his plan had been to fake his death, but perhaps it had changed. Maybe they would just pass off the throne without all that drama.

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum gave a tired sigh as he laid down and stared up st the ceiling. The question had been ringing in his head all day - what now? Would King Cassian let one of his lords just run around without proper leave to do whatever he wanted? Would he rather just hand the throne to Camilla? What if she didn't take it though? There were too many variables in the equation at the moment, they'd need to take the time and figure things out. He agreed with Emmalia that they weren't the kind of people to sit around, eat good food, drink fancy wine and have illustrious parties, but what else could they do about it? "Well..." He began after a pause. "Let's just... see where this lifestyle takes us. If we end up thinking it's not so bad, who says we can't just stay for a while? If we don't like it, we can be on our merry way as soon as possible. Might as well try it first."

 

[Dragongal]

Emmalia wasn't as sure as him about saying. However, she was sure that she wouldn't like this lifestlye. She would have to see just how long she could even stand it. But, for Callum's sake, she was willing to just sit back and see. She tossed the brush onto a nightstand and laid back next to him. "Agreed. But for tonight, might as well relax and such, right?" Despite being mostly dressed in loose clothing, the one bit of armor she still had on was her right bracer. IN fact, Callum had never seen her without it.

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum had looked over at Emmalia, frowning slightly. For a moment or so, he began to think about his time with Emmalia - and realized the small piece of armor she always seemed to be wearing, even at the party with Aman and Gallium. He then finished his thoughts and asked, "Is that what I think it is?" Callum pointed at the metal, assuming it was where she was bitten.

 

[Dragongal]

Emmalia looked at him and softly said, "I don't know. What do you think it is?" Slowly, she held her arm out to offer it to him. If he wanted to take it off and see, she would let him. For the ball, she'd worn an ornamental cuff bracelet, most days she wore leather and metal, and at night simple leather. It was never enough to her, the longsleeves.

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum looked between her and her arm for a moment, before slowly pulling away the leather covering it. He wasn't sure what he'd expect - he'd never seen a vampire bite before. He wasn't sure if he'd be disgusted, intrigued, or both.

 

[Dragongal]

After he rolled away her sleeve, the bite was revealed. It looked like a simple bite, two little red scars that didn't seem odd at all. the veins in that area, though, showed around the bite, outlined in black. Though not uncommon to see vague blue on the wrist, the black was darkest by the bite and the veins were clear, and quickly faded away into her skin. She quietly said, "The one thing my glamour charm can't cover...."

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum looked down at the bite for a few moments. He wasn't sure what to think - it gave an odd reality to the vampirism that seemed rather distant earlier. However, he didn't seem to bothered by it. Callum slowly replaced the leather bracer and gave her hand a gentle squeeze. "You never did tell me how it happened."

 

[Dragongal]

Emmalia smiled slightly and moved to lay on her side, facing him. "Like I said, it's incredibly personal to any vampire." She moved her hand to lay on his chest. And, in spite of what she had said a moment ago, or perhaps because of it, she said, "I had left the troupe for a bit, I told you, because Ander was catching on, so I made the trail messy. I figured, I'd left with the intent of helping people, being a huntress, I had been trained. I spent the days wandering, and I was going through the round of villages on the road back to my troupe and I... I heard a crashing sound. A shattering sound, in the residential district I was walking through. It was very late. A man fell from a window. There was a screaming in the building the man had left, so I chased after him. He was running for the woods. I put my hand on his shoulder, and he turned around, grabbed my wrist, and bit me. Right then and there. Nothing fantastic or brave about it, he just... it just happened. Just like that. But as you know, I wield my shortsword with my left hand, and it's silver-coated. I put it through his stomach. I still remember his eyes, though - wild, and just... completely feral." Emmalia paused to take a slow, calming breath. She wasn't very upset, but going through the memories was hard. "I knew I was dying. At first, I was confused. Then it felt kind of.. serene, dying. I was a little scared - I didn't want to die. I didn't want to leave Peter and Mathias and the troupe wondering what had happened. But it was out of my hands and knowing that, it was rather calm, really. I fell, he did, both dying, and I just kind of watched the stars fading until, well, I was dead." She looked over at him and gave a small, sad smile.

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum had listened intently to her story, not wanting to push her to speak more. It was tragic, listening to something so terrible happen to someone who didn't deserve it. Callum, of he were with her, would gladly have taken her place to save her from such a bad ending. Of course, she was still with him now, it wasn't too bad. He simply didn't think she deserved this. "I'm sorry to hear that, Em." He held her hand gently in his, giving it a squeeze. "I wish I could do something about it." He leaned in and gave her a gentle kiss.

 

[Dragongal]

Emmalia shifted her position, moving her shoulder to his, and leaning in to return the kiss. "You're here now, and that's all that matters, my dearest." She gave him a genuine smile and said, "So, your curiosity finally satisfied? You know my birth and my death. And most of my undeath." Her arm moved to wrap around his shoulder and hold him close.

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum smiled as they sat close to one another, unsure how to explain his feelings at the moment. "Well..." He began with a soft smile, leaning in a bit closer to her so they were inches from one another. "There are some things I still haven't seen, you know." He slowly pulled her back into another kiss, holding her closer to him and wrapping his arms around Emmalia.

 

[Dragongal]

Emmalia smiled against his lips before returning the kiss. Carefully, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders. After a few seconds, though, she pulled away. "Cal.... It's been a long time since I've done anything like this." That didn't meant she was against it - she was just a bit uncertain about it - as she had explained to Callum, she was hesitant with such things after previous experiences.

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum's smile got a little weaker. He had been too absorbed in his own thoughts to remember Emmalia's past. He took his own thoughts and feelings and ran with them, not caring to think of her past. Callum wasn't a goodie-goodie, he had his run ins with various people before. "I'm - I'm sorry, if you don't want to... we don't have to..." He found himself getting rather choked up, unintentionally pulling away from her just a bit, blushing in the process.

 

[Dragongal]

Emmalia rolled her eyes and smiled, seeing his blush. Her arms were still around his neck, so she just pulled him close again, so their foreheads were touching. "I didn't say that, silly." She kissed him slowly on the lips for a few moments so he wouldn't apologize any more. When she pulled away, she said, "Look, Cal, I love you. And I'd love to do this. All I meant was that maybe we should take it slow." She smirked and added, "Well, slow-ish."

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum's smile eventually was brought back, his arms slowly snaking around her hips as they were before. "Slow-ish, huh?" He gave her a few quick, gentle kisses before continuing. "Mind showing me how slow?" He was eager to see how she would respond, since so far it was a mixture of flirtatious joking and romantic kissing. Callum was a fan of both of those things, so he was obviously anxious for more.
