The Truth Of Strength (mystic)

[Kiknessa]

Adara sighed "I don't understand Dy" she said laying back on the bed "What's changed? did your near death experience make you paranoid?"

[mistic395]

Dyten shook his head no. He looked back down at her hand that he held. He opened his mouth to say something before closing it again, growing frustrated. He looked up at her, meeting her eyes. "Oh screw this." He said finally before he leaned in and pressed his lips against hers.

[Kiknessa]

Adara froze in shock when he did this,a thousand thoughts raced through her head but in the end she relaxed into it, wrapping her arms around his neck and returning the kiss

[mistic395]

Dyten had been bracing himself to be slapped, but when she relaxed he did as well. He pulled back after a moment so that they could both catch their breath. He looked down, his ears solid red. "Understand now?" He asked.

[Kiknessa]

"I...think i'm starting to get it" she said softly, not knowing how she should be reacting right now. She simply leaned against him and closed her eyes "I guess it was inevitable" she said softly "You and i never were just friends, were we?"

[mistic395]

"I don't think so." Dyten said. "I just think I finally realized when when I nearly lost you." Dyten wrapped his arm around her gently. "After that I just....I didn't know what to think. Everything was so confusing."

[Kiknessa]

"So you decided to push me away and growl at every man i walked to?" she asked looking up at his and shaking her head before kissing his cheek softly "Idiot"

[mistic395]

"I didn't know how to react." Dyten confessed as he glanced towards her. "I have never felt like this before." He kissed her forhead gently.

[Kiknessa]

"I hope not. If you have and i didn;t know i;d be very very hurt" she said giving him a bratty smirk before giving him a light kiss on the lips "Dy...." she leaned her head against his chest "don't push me away ever again"

[mistic395]

Dyten kissed her back briefly before wrapping both arms around her and holding her close. "Never again." He said, nuzzling his face agianst her hair. He closed his eyes, feeling more like he belonged there then he had in a long time.

[Kiknessa]

There was a breif knock and the door opened.
Alera Corrington paused when she saw the two a small smile coming to her lips "you seem to be alright Dyten" she said softly
Adara sat up "actually he pushed himself to the point of fever again this morning. Took forever to break it" Adara said looking at her mother, though she knew exactly what Alera had meant

[mistic395]

Dyten glanced towards Alera only to look away with red ears at Adara's words. He glanced towards Adara and shook his head slightly but said nothing to either of them at the moment.

[Kiknessa]

Alera smiled and walked over "Dyten, honey, I know you hate being bedridden but if you don't let yourself get healthy again you'll only make things worse" she said touching her adopted son's shoulder and kissing his forehead
"Hey Adara" Torrent said from the doorway, holding up a letter
Adara left her mother with Dyten and went over to take the letter from Torrent

[mistic395]

Dyten sighed softly. "I hate doing nothing." He muttered before glancing towards Adara. He looked confused when he saw the letter before glancing towards Torrent. "That package hasn't arrived yet has it?" He asked after a moment.

[Kiknessa]

"What package?" Torrent asked, moving to peak over Adara's shoulder as her expression turned into a frown.
Alera glanced over at them as she fluffed Dyten's pillows for him "what is it?" She asked softly
"It's from uncle Nagi. He says they need me back as soon as possible. The nobels want to dicuss something with me"
