Return!

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I'm tired, Mun. What do you wish of me? I have played your games before and found little enjoyment in them.

[He looks up from darning a blanket. Why yes, he can darn. Shut up. It's manly.]

What do you mean anything is possible?

[vanyel_ashkevron]

And you will have more to fill your mind tonight.

[wildgift]

I'm looking forward to it.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Perhaps I can find something soothing for your aching hands.

[wildgift]

I would certainly pay any price for that.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

You need only pay what you are willing to give.

[wildgift]

That may be quite a lot.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I will gladly receive it.

[wildgift]

Well I should like to think you wouldn't give it back.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Oh I will return it - but in my own way.

[wildgift]

I must admit, now I'm intrigued.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I'll make sure you sleep well.

[wildgift]

I'm sure you will.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I should thank you properly for what you've done for His Majesty.

[wildgift]

I will gladly accept whatever thanks you see fit to bestow upon me.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

[He shivers and closes his eyes.] Thank you.

[wildgift]

You're welcome, Van.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

[He leans into the younger man, linking their fingers together.]

Consider my room your room from now on.

[wildgift]

That is a reward of itself.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I don't like the idea of you being uncomfortable.

[wildgift]

Then you might want to tell the Rethwellan ambassador not to put me in any more closets.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

You won't be placed in one ever again, I promise you. [Shyly, he brings Stefen's fingers to his lips and kisses them.]

[wildgift]

That's quite a grand thing to promise.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

It's good being in my position sometimes.

[wildgift]

You would have my undying gratitude, Herald Vanyel.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

You have already given me more than I could have ever asked for.
