Creed's Rane II

[Lacewing]

She sat up on the bed and smiled "Stew fine, don't think I could handle more myself right now" she stretched and went over to get a bowl, dishing for Creed as well.

She sat and ate. Glad for the break.

Creed

"I want you to rest for the next couple of days, you have been through a lot. I can take care of things that need to be done for right now" I say to her as I gladly accept the food she brings me. I just hope I can do what I say.

 

[Lacewing]

Rane just smiles and sits down at his feet using his legs as a back rest. She ate then leaned back comfortably, actually falling asleep again quickly, likely faster than she was expecting herself

Creed

I finish eating and gather up the dishes, placing them on the table. I pick Rane up carefully and put her to bed. I take care of cleaning the dishes and then crawl into bed next to her, curling up with her. I fall asleep listening to her breathing and feeling her heart beating gently.

 

[Lacewing]

Creed awoke to her still sleeping quietly only curled intimately close with him. Her arms around him her head under his nose and her legs twined around his body and legs.

 

[airborne92]

Creed

I lay there in an embrace with Rane, who was still sleeping, and enjoyed the closeness of her body. It had been far to long since I had woken up like this. 'Would Rane ever learn to trust and accept me' I thought to myself as I lay there with her in my arms.

 

[Lacewing]

She awoke slowly, peaceful and feeling warm and protected.. that is till she realised just how.. close.. she snuggled to Creed in her sleep maybe i should take the floor... she went beat red, it wasn't so much a matter of trust, just embarrasmenet because she did something so.. unlady like in her sleep.

She jerked herself from his hold and sat up laughing uneasily and blushing redder than scarlet "Oh, um sorry about that" she said seeing him awake and started by her sudden movements and she got up backing her way away "Really sorry," she apoligized repeatedily.

 

[airborne92]

Creed

"What are you sorry for?" I ask her, slightly confused. "I enjoyed just holding you here in the bed, it is the best way to wake up in the morning."

 

[Lacewing]

She stopped mid-apoligy and just stood looking at her feet and very much the innocent maiden before what happened in the tunnels. Unsure of her place int eh world, her sitchuation doubly confused with that they had been forced into intimacy and unsure of how to deal with that either

 

[airborne92]

Creed

"Look, I know you are upset about what happened in the caves. I know I have been hard to deal with, but I want to change, I want to be with you" I say to her. She has made me want to change into a better person, she has caused me to discover love.

 

[Lacewing]

She looked at him silent and he could read a strange sort of battle in ehr expression, as if she was trying to figure out what she felt about the sitchuation herself before fianlyl saying "I know"

 

[airborne92]

Creed

I look at her, still confused at why she is still here yet knowing that she does care for me in some way.

"I don't ever want to lose you, and I don't know what I would do if I did" I say to her, trying to let her see what effect she has had on me in the past few days.

 

[Lacewing]

She stood a moment longer then sat ont eh bed again and slowly reached out and touched his hand "I know" she said once more and looked just.. shy

 

[airborne92]

Creed

I looked at her hand as she touched mine, she had willing touched me for the first time in what could be considered intimate. I wanted to hold her and keep her safe, but I didn't want to drive her away from me with any actions that might be brash.

She had a shy innocent look on her face, she still was innocent as far as I was concerned. I would she in that way for as long as we were going to be together.

"You still aren't sure if you can trust me, I can tell by the look on your face" I say to her. "Please believe me when I say that I won't touch you in any way you don't want."

 

[Lacewing]

She blushes and smiles a quiet thanks and lays back down feeling a touch dizzy, not sure why, this was all so.. weird....

 

[airborne92]

Creed

I got up and started working around the cabin. I fixed breakfast first, then I started cleaning up the place. She still needed more rest, and the more I did during the next few days the more rest she could get.

 

[Lacewing]

And sleep she did.. alot of it, she did get up a few times during the day to tryand work or help out, but found herself chased back to bed.

and it was so easy to just sleep and let creed do everything. She was so very very tired

 

[airborne92]

Creed

I spent the day gathering more firewood, checking the cabin, getting water from the stream, and looking around the immediate area. There was a small building behind the cabin. Inside were some tools. These would help make things easier. The roof of the cabin was in good shape, but needed some small repairs. I decided to do those tomorrow.

Hidden in the rafters of the cabin I found a bow and 30 arrows. This would in getting more food. I got Rane up for the meals I fixed. After dinner I sat by the fire.

"If you want I will sleep on the floor, so you won't have to worry about me" I say to Rane as I sip my tea.

 

[Lacewing]

She looked up over the bowl's edge as she ate her meal "EH? no, it's ok really" she didn't wnat to say exsactly why she liked it even if a little embarrasing. But.. it ws comfortable not to feel... alone in a strange place.

 

[airborne92]

Creed

"Are you sure, you seemed a little upset this morning when you woke up?" I asked her in a concerned voice. I was in a new land with a woman I cared for, but I didn't want to drive her away from me.

 

[Lacewing]

She rubbed her arm and wispered "I.. was just embarrased"

 

[airborne92]

Creed

"Embarrassed at what?" I asked her with a confused look on my face. We had seen each other naked, we had washed each other, and we had survived the caves together. What could she be embarrassed about.

 

[Lacewing]

SHe rather knew what his thoughts had been on "It's.. just unsurity... I'm just not sure.. what to do now... but.. I.. I just wnat you close so I know you're here.. I.. don't wnat ot be alone"

 

[airborne92]

Creed

"I told you I wouldn't leave you. I enjoyed just holding you this morning, it was somewhat comforting to me" I say to Rane. "I enjoyed just having you close to me."

I hoped she understood that I wanted to keep her safe.

"Are you feeling any better yet?" I asked her as I got up to put the cup on the table.

 

[Lacewing]

She nodded and gave her best smile "Feeling better"
