"I'd like that, Alexis." Raeph stated with a smile as he held out his hand and arm to grip hers in the warrior grip. "You stay safe out there and I'll keep the food fresh, the beer cold and the bed warm."
They looked at each other for a moment, but then feeling awkward, Raeph nodded and turned his horse toward Jenka. He didn't ride far, just out of sight of her, before stopping. He knew these lands well and if Alexis headed directly for the temple of Umnir then she would stick to the main road heading that way, but there were back trails in this area he could use to keep up with her. Little more than goat trails or narrow paths but big enough for him and his horse if he were careful and when he got to the temple it should put him in position to look down on the site from a low cliff above the building. Turning the horse off the main road to Jenka, Raeph moved into the wilderness.
It would take Alexis maybe a day to get to the temple, depending on how hard she rode. He wondered if she would ride hard just to get there and be done with this accursed mission. If so he would maybe get into position to late to help her. He hoped Linge wouldn't provide to great a challenge for the woman, she had been through a lot recently and the head wound, although minor, might shave a second or two off her best performance, something she couldn't risk. Raeph found himself pushing his horse harder, wanting, no needing to get there. He realised suddenly that Alexis's well being was important to him, very important. Sitting with her on the ferry waiting for her to come around he had understood his feelings for her. He understood why he had felt so confused about her. The fact she was a succubus was irrelevant he had realised, somewhat in shock, what was important was how he felt about her as a woman. That was why he had felt so confused being with her and had not been able to understand why she made him feel so unbalanced. For the first time in his life he realised he was in love.
