(Sorry! My ipod died and I had to wait to get home)
Erin laid beside her happily holding onto her. He laughed lightly hearing what she had to say "is that a bad thing?" He asked with raided eyebrows, he didn't think it was but if she said yes than well honestly he still wouldn't mind so much. He was just happy they were still able to love and care for each other, he had almost lost hope when she was taken from him but thanks to Alden he had another chance. "it's so hard having to wait to marry you" he said quietly after a moment with a big smile on his face "but I really can't wait for the day we do get married"

"no not necessarily." Alice smiled while he spoke. "But it's not a great thing either if we're not married yet." She knew it was a sin to have intercourse before she was married. Not only did it say so in the book her entire religion revolves around, but it was detestable in her kingdom. However, that didn't seem to stop her. She assumed it couldn't be that big of a deal if they were going to be married anyhow. "But wouldn't that make us engaged if we were both planning on being married to one another?" Alice moved so she was lying down on her back, and she turned her head to look at Erin, wanting to hear what he had to say about the reality of it.

"I guess we could say that, but it wouldn't feel proper without the standard proposal and what not" Erin said with a small smile "but I'd gladly say i was engaged to you, I just wish we could get married already" he said and bit his lip as he looked into her eyes. He was more than happy to think that they were engaged, and she seemed like she wouldn't complain so that made it just that much better. "You know, I never thought I'd be happy enough with someone to want to marry them, I also didn't really think I'd actually find someone I'd like at all. But thank you for proving me wrong, it's the best thing that's ever happened to me." He said contently

Alice fell back into her habit of blushing again at his words. It was truly ridiculous for a woman of her status to blush like the common maidens whenever Joshua compliments them. He was quite the charmer, but at home he was a completely different person. "Well it doesn't have to be proper, if I say that I want to get married to you, and you do too, then we're in engaged. It can't really be any simpler." She chuckled and took his hand in her own. "If you would like, we can get dressed and you can propose 'properly'." She grinned at the idea, and she actually wanted him to get on one knee and propose. But, it was up to him, as there were two parts to the equation; you can't do one without the other.

Erin smiled at the thought, he definitely wanted to, oh did he ever. But he wasn't going to make it easy for her, definitely not. "Would it prove I love you more?" He asked jokingly, he knew she'd say no. Because they both definitely did love each other the same, but he liked to think he loved her more but the reasoning behind it he had no clue. "Because if it did then i'll do it right here and right now" he stated proudly as he smiled at her

Alice let out a small sigh, although not one that was serious. "Oh Erin..." she rolled her eyes, still not serious. She brought a hand up to his face and cupped his cheek, and in one movement, moved her hand back into his hair and started to massage him again. Hopefully this would convince him to not start again. "I know you love me, just as much as I do you. You can't exactly measure love." She gave him a soft smile, and her mix matched gaze wasn't exactly 'begging' more like trying to gain some sort of mutualism.

"B-but but but..." Erin said in a pouty voice, with the best pouting face he could put out with it. He let his lower lip hang out and his eyes widened with his eyebrows raised like he was heart broken and about to cry. But t was obviously a joke, he knew what she meant but it was one of thise things he insisted on. As much as he knew they loved each other the same but it was something he knew he wanted her to admit

Alice tried her best to stare down Erin's pouty expression, but she couldn't. He looked so innocent and vulnerable in that way. Alice hated having pride really, it made things like this harder to say yes to. But obviously he wasn't going to go down unless they went into some sort of argument. She had been trying to avoid those at all costs with Erin, it was just when he did things like this that made it hard to stay away from those things. If he loved her more, wouldn't he just be proposing because he can? Alice didn't ponder the thought, knowing it would only lead to frustration. "Whatever makes you happy Erin." To Alice, when she said that, she was - logically speaking - that she loved him more if she was pushing her pride aside to give him whatever he desired. Although she said nothing about it. It would be petty.

(So sorry I had to go to indoor practice.)
Erin gave her a small smile "You don't mean that" he replied with a smirk "as long as you know I love you I'm happy" he said firmly to her, his eyes gleaming as he said it. After a moment he pulled her into him more, holding onto her tightly with his arms around her "I love you so much" he then whispered quietly

Alice was sort of surprised Erin wasn't going to continue on with his joke, and that he stopped short with it. But she would have to say she prefers it that way over anything else. Alice felt herself being pulled into Erin and smiled as he did so. She had to admire his strength, even if she wasn't very heavy in the first place. "I love you too." Alice said quietly back before giving Erin a firm, but brief, kiss. "Let's be engaged shall we?" She chuckled.
{It's okay. I might also, so I understand}

"It would be my pleasure" Erin replied with a big smile on his face, it made him very happy to think that they really were practically engaged. Even if it took long for them to actually get married it wouldn't matter to him, he was just happy to say that one day they would be married to each other. "I can't wait until the day we really are married" he then stated quietly as he closed his eyes and let out a small content sigh

Alice kissed him again briefly and patted his cheek. "I will certainly wait for that day." She chuckled and moved her hand to the one Erin was using to hold Alice against him. She removed his hand from her side and started to slowly move to the edge of the bed. "But we should probably wait for our wedding night to do this again." Alice told him with a raised eyebrow and a small smile playing on her lips. She grabbed her articles of clothing from where she had put them and started to dress herself again. "Erin, can you lace up my dress please?" She asked, indicating the back of her dress which did have lace to keep the dress fitting.

Erin nodded and gave a smile, he didn't mind waiting if that's what she wanted. "As long as you're happy" he replied before he got up to get his clothes back on again. Once he heard her request he made his way over swiftly and began to lace up the dress for her "so do you know where I'd be able to get any food?" He asked with a small chuckle as he finished helping Alice with her dress "because I haven't had a proper meal since Alden cooked for us" he added as he took a seat on his bed

Alice made sure the rest of her dress was fitted right, that it didn't look like she had taken it off during the day. It would be embarrassing if she had it on wrong. But thankfully, it was correct and once she made sure it was, she turned around to look at Erin. "I'm not sure what time it is, you might have missed when they give out dinner rations..." Her eyes were downcast and brow furrowed in thought. "But, I can get you more food. You'll have to come with me though."

Erin nodded "okay, I'll cone with you" he said and moved towards the door after grabbing his coat once again "and where would we be going?" He asked as he finished slipping his arms through the coat. He still felt weird knowing he had an outfit and there were certain times he would get food now, he was still used to being able to cook when he wanted and not worry about the time. (Sorry this is short)

Alice looked at Erin with a small smile, "to the kitchens of course, where else would we go? We can eat in the Banquet hall if you would like. It should be empty by now." She offered, but wasn't sure if that was what Erin wanted. He still seemed a bit overwhelmed by everything whether he let onto that or not. She was trying to study Erin in a sense; Alice wanted to learn what tone of voice he felt in certain situations, or little habits that he had when he was doing something such as thinking. She wanted to know everything about him. It was her buisness after all, as his fianceé.
{It's fine!}

Erin looked to the ground as he though, he never had any clear indications of what he was thinking but his body expression would sometimes give it away. After a moment he nodded and gave a smile "yeah we could do that" he replied with a nod before opening the door "let's not waste time" he then said with a smile as he held the door open for her. He wasn't exactly nervous to be going out into the castle again, but what if the king saw them together again? Ot any of her family for that matter. He didn't know if there would be suspicions about the two or not, but he definitely hoped there wouldn't be. That thought left him looking like he was starring off into space, biting his lip quite hard as he did so.

Alice slipped out through the door as Erin held it open for her. She was tempted to hold his hand as they walked, but she knew how much trouble the both of them could get into and decided against it. However, she did walk a bit close to him, and turned her head up to look at Erin. She noticed him biting his lip and had a slightly cloudy gaze as if he was in thought. Alice wasn't a genius, but she could tell he was thinking about something rather serious. "What are you thinking about?" She asked quietly, her voice hushed.

Post by Jaica on Mar 8, 2017 12:26:10 GMT -5
Erin walked beside her oblivious to how close she walked, but that didn't really bother him much. He was still lost in thought until she spoke, he shook his head quickly to pull himself back into the real world "well... do you think your family will be okay with us being around each other? Even if hey only got to see us eating?" He asked in a concerned tone of voice with his eyebrows raised. He wanted to make sure he wouldn't get either of them in trouble, he was still trying to gain their trust and if they didn't want him around her he would keep to seeing her in secret instead of them walking the halls together.

Alice looked down at the floor as she thought, an idea came to mind but she wasn't sure if Erin would agree with her logic. "Well, if you think about it, they'll see I'm comfortable around you. Meaning you aren't dangerous, or out to hurt me in any way, shape, or form. But those are just my thoughts." She shrugged slightly, trying to make sure she wasn't pushing Erin to agree with what she thought. She hated when people did that to her, so she would never enforce it on him.

Erin took that thought into consideration, he didn't know if she was right or just hoping but he'd go along with it just based off the idea of spending more time with Alice. He gave a smile and nodded slowly "okay, I trust you" he stated as they walked, as much as he wanted to either hold her hand or wrap an arm around her he knew it wouldn't be a good idea. Maybe soon he would be able to, if their plans worked out well, but he couldn't say so soon. "I really hope things work out well for us soon" he said to her in a cheery tone, he was very hopeful but he never liked to get his hopes up

"we'll just have to be creative about it. I know you're very intelligent, you can help me think of things I'm sure." Alice smiled warmly at Erin, with her eyes giving that same warmth. It was difficult to keep herself from holding his hand or leaning into him. They started to move closer to the kitchens. But they had a bit of time to talk to each other like how they would if they were still at the other house. Just in hushed tones, as to not draw attention.

"I'm sure we can find a way" Erin replied with a small nod and a smile "I love you Alice" he whispered to her happily. He kept his voice quiet on purpose so no one would be anle to hear them, that would make things very challenging for sure. If anyone heard them he knew the word would spread quick, how could it not? The princess in love with someone like him? Since when does that happen?

Alice blushed lightly when Erin said he loved her outloud in the castle. She wasn't embarrassed but surprise he would say so, even at such a low whisper. She hardly caught the words actually as they neared the kitchens with the cooks and servants running back and forth behind the doors separating them as they tried to prepare tomorrow's recipes and getting enough ingredients for said recipes. "I love you too." She said just as quietly before opening the doors. Immediately the kitchen seemed to stop at the sight of Princess Alice and the newest guard and felon of the kingdom side by side like they were truly what they claimed to be at the trial: friends.
"Princess Alice," the head cook bowed to her, paying no mind to Erin. "What is it that you need?" He asked earnestly. "Supper I suppose? I can have that done for you quickly." He clapped his hands and soon the kitchen was active again.
but Alice wasn't exactly done yet, she moved closer to the head chef before speaking. "I would like Erin Xenos," she motioned to Erin, "to dine with me as well." She said in a hopeful tone.
The head chef gave a nervous glance to Erin before looking back to Alice. He nodded slowly at first, "as you wish." He said before shouting orders to the rest of the kitchen for two meals rather than one. Alice, moved through another set of doors, separate from the ones they entered through, and made sure Erin was following, as she went into the Banquet Hall. It was empty now, so they could sit wherever they pleased. Alice took Erin to the middle table, knowing he can't sit at the table reserved for the royals. "Is this alright?" She asked

Erin gave a smile, he was about to speak again before the doors swung open and his facial expression went back to it's normal look. He listened to the two talk for awhile and didn't say anything, clearly the chef wanted nothing to do with him. Once they finished talking he followed her to the table and nodded "this is perfect" he said to Alice with a small smile before pulling a chair out for her and then one for himself. He sat and looked around while he waited, everything felt strange to him. Being served food, sitting at a table like the one they were at and seeing how the chefs acted to please Alice and listen to whatever she said with no complaint. That was all very weird to him. "I can't wait for supper, I'm starved" he stated with a small chuckle as he returned his gaze back to Alice
