[ Made for Cassian Rainecourt ]
Night was rapidly approaching, the full moon behind them. Yet she felt restless, with two weeks since coming home, Alys had her time to mourn hard. She did so alone after the first two days, where she might have had to quickly step into a side room or the one time, openly cried in front of her two children. They had wrapped her in a tight hug and all she could be was thankful as they were spared.
After the first week, she went back to work. Hard. Drowning herself in the training rings, where soldiers at first we’re hesitant. But she was as powerful as ever. She drown herself in her office when the children were studying. Potions… curses… anything she thought might help Nevermere in any of the kingdoms. Dresmond… Coheed… Cambria… Lorendale. She checked in with the Dresmondi, she checked in often with her children, and the one who she needed to not hover over, is the one she sought out now. Cassian.
She’d ask for him, learn his location, and would do her best to not disturb him if he had been with someone else. Waiting until he was alone (or the most he could have been) before she’d approach him where she found him. She looked better than the week prior, no dark circles under her eyes though that was perhaps because she had taken a sleeping potion in a small dose to help her sleep the last two nights…
Alys would greet Cassian appropriately as she approached, dipping low before she stood back up. “My King,” she found his eyes, “I was wondering if you were free this evening.”
