An Unexpected Awakening...
Her eyelids fluttered open as she blinked to clear the haze that had become her vision. The day had been taxing and the steady rhythm of the waves had succeeded in lulling her to sleep - her dainty form leaning against the lamp post.
A voice continued to rumble on, the tone surprisingly gentle. 'Lady Strify? My Lady? Are you alright?' Worry seemed to ease over the jubilation as his arms wove about her slender frame, holding her upright. Carefully, he moved to pull her against his chest, her cheek resting against his shoulder as his hand soothed the coppery tresses that slipped free of her plait. 'Please awaken. Please, my Lady.' he urged once more.
"All is well," she mumbled softly, her conscious mind unaware that she did so.
'My Lady?' his voice called out, beckoning her to clarity.
"I must wait, he shall not be long. I am waiting you see," she murmured sleepily, her eyes reluctant as she sought to awaken.
Ahsahm's lips curved into a mischievous grin. He shouldn't...but it couldn't be helped. 'Waiting for who exactly my Lady?'
"Ahsa- ...Ahsahm," she managed as she opened her eyes fully.
'Then look no further dear Lady, I am here,' he said with a chuckle, studying her features as each cheek grew brighter as a deep blush swept across her features.
"Oh..." she nearly squeaked.
