Roman sighed, "that a very long time from now though. We have to give him or her time to learn and grow until they are ready. And when she is young we will be up almost every hour of the night." He said, "which is another reason we need to wait until after the war."
Dakota looked to Him, his gaze gentle, "I'm sure they'll hold their own.. And if not then they'll have our protection."

Alma nodded. "I know we'll get around to it though. We're not letting some ugly creatures come and stomp all over everything we've worked for here."
Nim nodded a little. "I just hate that it's come to all of this. Things would be so much easier if we could all be friends..." A pipe dream though, unfortunately.

"Until then, I'll just have to pull out." Roman said simply, snickering a little.
"Sadly that isn't how life works." Dakota said with a small sigh, "but I know you already know this." He said as he moved to lay on top of Nim, giving him a playful look.

Alma blushed at that. "Yes, you will." She looked him over, a mischevious glint in her eye.
Nim chuckled. "I do." Purring again, he put a paw around Dakota to keep him close as he licked his cheek.

Roman growled a little to her, a hungry look in his eyes, but he held himself back for now, keeping to himself.
Dakota let out a soft rumble at the affection. He then said, "If anyone saw us like this we'd lose our intimidation factor for sure."

Alma smiled softly in amusement before dozing off, staying contentedly snuggled up with her husband.
Nim laughed. "Definitely, but I don't mind too much. I'll still cuddle you regardless."

Eventually though, it was time to get up. Roman sat up on the bed before going over to the door. There were workers there with both of their outfits for the day. Most of the time, they had their outfits chosen for them rather than them getting to pick them out themselves.
Dakota purred, "me too." He said, "we could also win back their fear easily if we pleased." He added.

Alma looked over as Roman brought their clothes in from the servants. Getting out of bed after the door was closed, she stretched and yawned a little. "Time to start the day." Things would probably be super tense for the next few days.
Nim smiled gently. "We could, but I'd hope we wouldn't have to."

Roman nodded as he handed his wife her clothes. He then laid his on the bed before going about getting ready. “Yep. We should still try keeping things on the down low today.” He said as he took off his shirt, “we don’t want the whole kingdom freaking out before anything’s actually happened.”
Dakota shrugged, “sometimes you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do.” He said. He then gently touched his nose to Nim’s for a brief second before getting up. He turned human and went about putting his braids into a pony tail.

Alma nodded in agreement. "Yes, it would be best to keep what we can under wraps, because letting too much information out at this time will definitely spook the public." And having them scared isn't a good idea as of now.
Nim turned into a human as well, stretching lazily before getting out of bed to get ready for the day.

Roman nodded as he finished getting ready. "Exactly what I was thinking." He said as he went to the mirror to straighten out his hair before carefully placing his crown on his head.
Dakota changed into fresh pair of clothes, straightening himself out before looking to Nim.

Alma finished getting for the day, setting her own crown atop her head. Smiling a little as she looked herself over, she said "Sometimes I'm still surprised to be starting the day like this." She'd used to expect that she'd be running the arena by now, still dusty and dirty from walking the old halls.
Nim had also changed by then, yawning a little as he walked over to join Dakota. "Should we go see the royals? Or give them some space for the morning?"

Roman smiled saying, “why should you be surprised. I mean, it was obvious to me from the start that you blew the rest of your competition away.” He said as he walked over to her, gently placing his hands on her hips. “I wouldn’t want you anywhere else but here.”
Dakota nodded, “though knowing Roman they’re probably not even down for breakfast yet.” He said, “I’m sure they’d enjoy our company though.”

Alma smiled up at him. "I'm my happiest when I'm with you." She leaned up to kiss him gently. "Come on, let's get going before another servant shows up."
Nim nodded a little, asking "Should we go see if Uma is up too? Maybe she'll want to join us." Or maybe she was off doing her own thing somewhere again.

Roman nodded in agreement. He held the door open for Alma before gently reaching out to take her hand as they walked.
Dakota shrugged, “let’s go find her. I bet she’s still asleep anyways.” Which she was, curled up in a white feathery ball on her bed.

Alma held Roman's hand as they walked, quiet for the most part as they passed the occasional staff. "I half expected to wake up to chaos or something," she admitted softly when they had the hall to themselves. "Surely those creatures aren't above some secret attack or something."
Nim nodded once, following Dakota out as they went to Uma's room to see if she was awake.

“No. That’s why I put extra guards on the night watch last night, though I doubt that would have done much.” Roman admitted, “oh well, I guess we’re lucky. Today I’ll organize a stronger guard.” He said.
Dakota knocked on her door. A few moments later, the regal woman opened the door, looking oddly tired, “what?” She asked plainly, “have I overslept?”

Alma nodded a little. "As long as we're alert. Training and recruiting is already increasing apparently, but hopefully nobody works themselves to death over this, or they'll die in the fighting." Downside either way, she supposed.
Nim blinked once as he studied Uma. "No, you didn't. If you're still tired though, you can rest. We were just coming see if you'd like to accompany us to check in with the crown."

Roman nodded. He then stopped as they reached the dining hall. He opened the door for his wife before following her to their seats.
Uma yawned, “I’m fine. I was just watching for danger last night. I can function with no sleep.” She said, “one moments. I just need to get changed.” She said before gently closing the door.

Alma went to sit at her usual spot, stomach growling a little as she smiled sheepishly. She was eager to get going for the day, but a small part of her was still wary.
Nim patiently waited for their friend. As he did, he changed back into a tiger, mainly out of reflex. He sat by Dakota, whiskers twitching as he looked up at him.

Roman sat next to Alma, looking as their food was already being brought over. Once they were served he looked to Alma, “maybe we should pay a visit to your family today. We can see if they have anything to offer us battle wise.”
Dakota gently pet Nim, scratching him behind the ear. Not too long after, Alma opened the door again, now looking much more cleaned up than before, “Alright, I’m ready.” She said in her elegant British accent.

Alma nodded at that. "I didn't even think of that. Yes, visiting them would be good. We can go whenever you have time today?"
Nim purred deeply at his mate before looking as Uma opened the door. Seeing they were all ready to go, he turned to lead the way to go meet the royals.

“I can push back my duties until noon so we can go after this, though I will have a meeting to attend just after twelve so we’ll just have to be home by then.” Roman said before looking to Alma, “is that alright with your schedule too?”
Uma followed next to them, keeping her posture straight. She looked to Dakota and Nim as they asked saying, “I see you two are still doing well. Surprising, but good.”
Dakota scoffed, “why would it be surprising?”

Alma nodded, saying "No, that's perfect. I have a meeting to get to about our trade with that kingdom in the south, but it's not until after twelve too."
Nim hummed softly, saying "Well, you are the best man ever. I'm sure there are plenty who are better for you..." He felt a twinge of insecurity just thinking about it, but he pushed it down.

Roman nodded, “alright, then it’s a plan.” He waved someone over to tell them to clear his schedule for the morning.
“Says the most powerful of the group.” Dakota said. “I wouldn’t replace you for the world.” He said softly.

Alma smiled a little. "It'll be nice to visit them, as it's been a while. And of course they'll be happy to see us, especially you." When they were first together, sometimes it was like her family thought Roman was their kid too.
Nim chuckled softly. "You think too highly of me." He then smiled gently at the second part. Purring, he said "And I wouldn't trade you for anything either."

Roman smiled happily, “I’m looking forward to it. Even if it is just for business.” He said, “it’ll be good to visit, like you said before.” He then continued to eat.
Dakota scoffed, “no I’m not. You’re great!” He said, “perfect, even.”

Alma smiled at that. "It will. They see you as their son, so of course they enjoy seeing you." At first her parents were just excited their daughter had caught the prince's eye, but they eventually got to know him for real and actually liked him for him.
Nim laughed gently at that. "Quite a charmer. I like it." When they reached their destination, the trio was announced to the crown before being let in.

“I’m glad they do.” Roman said, “I like them as well, and I still try my hardest to prove myself of being worthy of someone as perfect as you.” He said with a charming smile. He then looked as Nim, Dakota, and Uma’s entrance was announced. He stood politely to greet them. “I’m glad you three are up. I hope you all had a good night sleep.”

Alma smiled shyly at that last part before looking as the Guides arrived. Nim bowed his head a little as he said "Again, thank you for letting us stay here. We slept well." Well, when they actually did the sleeping part. His whiskers twitched at the thought.
