Erin laughed as she did so, he knew he would look horrible afterwards but onl Alice would see so it wasn't too bad. "You're so childish, you know that?" He teased playfully as she ruffled his hair up, somehow a lot worse than it was previous. "But I'm not complaining, I enjoy it when you're like this, it's really cute, honestly" he said as he grabbed one of her hands to hold onto

Alice never saw herself as childish. Well, most of the time anyway normally, as Erin has surely seen, she is quite proper. Especially with her manners as well as demeanor. Maybe not yesterday, especially after that thing in the morning, but otherwise, she is normally composed more or less. "I hope my child like qualities are satisfying then. I would never want to annoy you." She was obviously kidding about annoying Erin. Alice hasn't done so yet, and wasn't planning on it any time soon. She let him grab her hand in her own and moved his to her cheek, with her hand moved on top of his to hold it there.

"Considering even Ethan never really annoyed me, I'm sure you wouldn't be capable" he said and gave her a smile, he was coming to accept Ethans death still but there would be some time before he would be able to speak about him in regards of his death. He soghed happily at her as she held his hand onto her cheek, it was very soft as he rubbed his thumb lightly back and forth.

Alice went pale at the mention of Ethan, she still had this nagging feeling that it was her fault. Though, she did not voice her concerns to Erin. He would just say the same thing she thought he would 'it's not your fault'. It truly was, but she tried to push that out of her mind, and soon the color returned to her face. "I'm not sure if I should surprise you with antics or not then. But I'm afraid I'm not clever enough to think of any."

"Well I enjoy them honestly, I haven't pulled any on you yet, but don't be surprised if one day I do" he replied with a chuckle. He noticed her going slightly pale, and figured it was because of him mentioning his brother, her kinda did regret bringing it up but wanted her to feel better, so he'd make sure to keep off of that topic. (Gonna be gone for another hour so I'll reply better then.)

"I would be lying if I said I didn't feel slightly nervous as to what they may be." Alice gave a sheepish grin to Erin. She didn't think they would be anything to harm her. Surprise or scare her she figured he would do, or in some sort of romantic gesture, but those were the only things she could picture Erin doing. "Unless it's something romantic, I wouldn't mind at all if that's the case." She blushed as she spoke, but had a flirtatious and mischievous twinkle to her eyes as well.

(So sorry I didn't see this reply)
Erin gave Alice a nice sweet smile as he looked at her, "well you'll just have to wait until I'm better to find out!" He said and bit his lip, he wasn't really sure what he intended on doing, but by the way she talked about how if it were romantic she'd love it so that was the first thing that came to mind, maybe flowers or something small at first. But he wasn't sure yet. "But I'll make sure you'll be surprised" he added in a nonchalant way

Alice kissed Erin's hand that was on her cheek still before standing up from the bed. "Well whatever it is, I hope it's a good surprise. I'll see if I can make you and Alden some breakfast." She started to head out of her room where Erin was staying but when she reached for the doorknob, she hesitated and turned around to face him. A curious expression on her face, making her eyebrows knit together a little. "Were you drinking last night?" She was only asking because Erin did smell like liquor last night, and Alden was probably not out of bed yet because of a hangover. She would believe it.
{It's fine!}

Erin went slightly red in the face, he had been drinking and he didn't know how to tell her. He figured being straight up was the best choice "I had, yes. Alden took me out, said the drink would help calm my nerves." He admitted that quite sheepishly, unsure of how she would take it.
(Kinda short, sorry. )

he would have had to drink before he fought his father and Elliot, because she was with him the rest of the night afterwards or in the doctor's care. Meaning, Erin fought them drunk, or at least not exactly level headed. Alice rubbed her temples with her finger tips, trying to maintain her confusion. "Were you drunk? I'm only asking because I smelled the liquor on you. It's not exactly hard to point out." Alice kept her tone level, no trace of anger in her voice, though no happiness in it either. She was more concerned about his safety then anything.

"The more I had to drink the better I felt, I'm sorry" Erin answered again, still sounding quite embarrassed and very apologetic. He could see she was very against him drinking, but how could he help it? It was the only thing keeping him sane that night. "I'm sorry if you don't approve of it, I just didn't know what else to do..."

Alice shook her head at Erin's words, she was hoping she didn't come off as upset. That wasn't her intention. "I'm not mad that you were drinking, I just...want you to know your limits. Can you tell me you'll at leat work on it?" Her brows were slightly upturned, and eyes were soft, yet firm. "I love you Erin, that's why I'm concerned."

"I haven't really thought about drinking much before then, it was one of those 'one time deal' type things" he answered to her, but he wasn't looking at her. He still felt she was more upset he had done so, and he really didn't like the thought. "I love you to, Alice" he replied and gave a small smile, still looking away as he did

Alice could understand that, as long as it wasn't often she supposed it wasn't a big deal. Alice herself drank wine, but that was different from ale or whatever beverages men typically drank. "I'll get you two some breakfast." She headed out of her room again, and downstairs to the cooking area. There was a roasting spit, which she had no clue how to use, and a large bowl on top of a Fire that seemed to be for stew. She could handle stew, that was simple enough. Alice knew he to make one kind, and that was really the cap off for her cooking Abilities. However, she was perfecting the recipie with each try, so it was working out more or less
(Skipping cooking cuz that's boring lol)
Alice put the stew in two bowls, one for Alden, and one for Erin. Alden was still passed out, but she figured she ought to set it down on the table for him when he woke up. She took the other upstairs for Erin to eat and entered without a knock, knowing he couldn't get up to get dressed or anything so she wasn't barging in. "I'm not sure if you like stew of not, but it's the only thing I can make so I suppose this is good as it gets." She chuckled before moving a pillow to proper Erin up some more and helping him move closer to the bedside table so her could reach the food easier

As Alice entered the room Erin gave a small smile "that'll do nicely, it's probably better than anything I usually get to eat" he replied and began trying to help her move him towards the side of the bed, he winced lightly as he tried to move his leg, it hurt more than anything else. The deep gash was still very bad and the only thing keeping it from getting infected or worse were the stitches "thank you, Alice." He said before beginning to eat

Alice sat down on the floor beside Erin, in a ladylike position as if she was wearing a dress. Which she was in a way, it was a nightgown. "It's not a problem. I'll take care of you as long as you need me to." Alice could only hope she would keep that promise, considering she always had people taking care of her. Servants did a lot of things for Alice, the main things she had to do on her own were do her studies such as arithmetic, literature and so on. As well as other lessons such as playing instruments, and dancing of course. Perhaps they shouldn't depend servants so much, because of situations like this where there are none around and someone could only rely on themselves to do something right.

Erin sat eating quietly and contently, after awhile he finished the bowl and put it down on the same bedside table as he had his water. He looked over to Alice and gave her a smile "that was delicious, thank you" he said to her happily. As much as he wished he could do stuff for her, instead of her looking after him, he knew he couldn't yet. Maybe in a week or so his leg will be good enough to at least walk on but maybe he was just getting ahead of himself, it could easily be a long period of time before he got to walk again and that wasn't a nice thought. But he did his best to look happy, and anything but distressed about the situation.

{so I've got an idea mwhahahaha So we can time skip to where Erin can function properly again, or we can hold this off, up to you. Anyway! So Alden, Erin, and Alice have been at the house for a while now, and Erin's boss come by saying he can take Alice off his hands now that he has a very good offer for her. Erin says he can have her ready to go the next day, however, he plans to sneak her out of his kingdom and back to her's after a long talk with Alden about whether or not he should runs away somewhere else in his kingdom with her. Knowing that Alden is right and that she needs to go home, Erin takes her back to her castle but as he does so, he is arrested for kidnapping her. One of her servants had seen Erin take her away and told the king, now that he was here with the princess obviously they would arrest him. He is taken to a cell in the dungeons for the night, where Alice would find a way to visit him of course. The next day at his trial, he would be found guilty for kidnapping and holding her hostage, but for returning her safely and not causing any harm to her, he is let off the hook with two options: 1) a servant of the palace 2) a servant to whoever would buy him
I'm assuming he would pick to be a servant of the palace to be around Alice, although he is not her servant for obvious reasons. They meet up with one another in secret of course, like in his quarters and sometimes her's if her servants aren't around and such. But even though things seem to be working out despite their situation, disaster strikes like usual. Alice is set to be married to a prince from a neighboring kingdom, and we can go from there
*pants from exhaustion* does that seem alright to you?

(Okay yeah that's a good idea! I really like that honestly, and when she's to be married what could he do? Obviously he's going to want to stop it because he loves her but do we have any ideas on how he could make it so she isn't to marry someone else?)

{I did think about that lmao and I am evil. If you don't like it, that's fine, we'll change it but this is what I came up with yesterday:
Alice does get married to the other prince. However, she, still in love with Erin, still continues to see him, cheating on her husband (as bad as that sounds) Her relationship is found out in one way or another (still figuring that out) and...I'm still figuring it out lol, but we've got a while until then to figure it oit}

It's been nearly a month or more now since Erin was first slashed by Elliot. He had left a disgustingly critical wound at first that Alice winced at every time she looked, but at least she didn't have to change out his bandages, Alden volunteered to do that. However, that was a long time ago, Erin's wound was now a scar, a fresh scar, but at least it was closed completely now. She remembered helping him when he first tried to walk again, and she nearly cried that day, watching the progress he had made. Alice didn't know if the wound would kill him, mainly because she thought it would get infected. But thankfully, it did not. He could now move properly again, and she figured it was because of her constant praying. She had prayed every night and morning for Erin, and it seemed to have paid off. It was the early afternoon now, and Alice had been sitting with Erin in the living room while Alden was out getting food for Erin to cook dinner with. Although Alden could cook, he just figured 'why bother' when Erin could again. Alice was snuggled next to Erin, her head resting underneath his chin while she sat in his lap. He could do that now that the pressure wouldn't reopen the wound. "I keep thinking back to how we first met, and then I think of now. It amazes me how we got here."
{Do you live in Alaska?}

Post by Jaica on Feb 24, 2017 12:21:20 GMT -5
(Close, kinda. I'm more towards the bottom of BC but like Alaska isn't super super far off.
Question, what if Erin wasn't a servant but more a guard? Surely they'd have to explain everything that happened while he was looking after her when he had kidnapped her. Wouldn't the story of him almost giving his life to save her give him some leverage as to how he got to be around her and such? Or do you want them to be seperated and have to see each other in secret?)
Erin was still in rough shape, seeing as it had only been a month since what happened. But he knew he could function properly again so that's all that really mattered to him. He was also very pleased that he was able to have Alice cling onto him again, that was something he couldn't go a day without, that month was rough for him considering. As he sat there with Alice on his lap he kept his arms tightly around her, he didn't want to let go. This was one of the first few times he was able to be like this with her again. He let his chin rest lightly on her head as she curled up in his lap, that made him smile he was able to be happy again, thanks to Alden helping him rescue Alice and thanks to Alice who helped him the whole way through his recovery. He really couldn't do it without either of them. He let out a small content sigh as he sat with her "you make me so happy" he said to her quietly, gripping a little tighter when he said it.

Alice nuzzled her head underneath his chin and against his neck slightly as well. He was quite warm, and soon winter would be setting in, making it cold outside and the house a bit chilly in general. At least Alden got a fire started, so it was warmer throughout the house. While Erin was recovering, she forgot for a little while that her birthday had passed, and about a day after it had come and gone, did she remember. She was 16 now, making the age gap between her and Erin smaller. But even before then, she didn't mind it. Alice wasn't sure if Erin forgot or not, but if he did she wouldn't hold it against him, she didn't exactly give him a specific date. "Well I would hope so, I would hate to think otherwise." She chuckled, and leaned her head up to kiss his jaw once, since that was all she could reach, before putting her head back down again. "I'm surprised Alden's still around. Do ever wonder why? I don't mind him, I'm just curious."

Erin gave a smile down to her as he listened. It was quite chilly in the house but the fire did help a lot, not to mention they were sharing their body heat being that close. "I'm pretty sure he doesn't really have any other place to be. But I mean I'm in debt to him so I'd let him stay as long as he pleases honestly" he said with a shrug as he looked around "I wonder if he will end up leaving soon though, I can't see him wanting to be around people like us for too long" he added with a chuckle, us meaning two younger people who were in love. It didn't seem like the type of thing Alden enjoyed being around.
