“Not on this trip, I’m not!” she returned, a bit of a skip to her step, a happy lilt in her voice. “I’m just Elena, Hero and adventurer, free from responsibility for the time being and without a care in the world! And I suppose we could visit the Dweller camp, if that’s what you mean?”

“And see ol’ Sabine? I do wonder what that old man has been up to, so let’s head there,” he complied, making sure to fish out his overcoat once they reached the snowy mountains of the Dweller camps.

"Are you really here alone? Want some company?" - heroinsurgent

He had been sle–resting his eyes before he quickly stood up at attention out of habit. Though, when reminded that it was his friend, the Queen, Ben relaxed and rested his arm on the butt of his rifle.

“You have a habit of scaring your soldiers?”

heroinsurgent:

“Ah, yes, I see you’re doing quite a lot about the over abundance of alcohol in the kingdom. If it weren’t for you, we’d be drowning, I’m sure,” she teased. “Mind if I join you? I could stand to do a bit of kingdom-saving myself.”

“I wouldn’t be a man of honor if I didn’t take the help of the savior of Albion,” he boasted proudly before moving a bit so she could take the seat in the booth as he stood at attention.

“Joking aside, it is good to see you, Will.”

“To be honest, I had really just come back to check on things,” Ben replied with a shrug. “Doesn’t look like the Darkness has returned. Probably too scared to deal with me.”

        “–Ah, I’m sure that’s the exact reason that it has yet to return. It has nothing to do with the fact that I destroyed it, does it?”

“Then we are good to do as we please!”

He let out a dramatic gasp, glancing around as to make sure no one was looking before he stated in a joking manner, “Calling you by your name would mean I am too familiar with you, Elena. We wouldn’t want to worry those suitors of yours.”

Truth be told, he didn’t really care much about the suitors. There were a few he would rather toss off the tallest tower of the castle, but that wouldn’t be professional in his career. 

Smiling, he gestured towards the road as he promised, “Don’t worry. I’ll stop teasing you, your Majesty. We should get going before that servant of yours drags you back inside.

She rolled her eyes skyward. “Ugh, the suitors! Hang the suitors! They can’t seem to leave me alone. I swear, not a one of them is actually interested in anything other than the crown, and some of them seem to be under the impression that I’m burdened with impossible amounts of gold. If I marry one of them, I might as well have married Hobson.”

An heir would be a problem, though. She thought about adopting, but the child would not have a legitimate claim to the throne after her passing, and that would only cause more strife for Albion. But, she supposed she’d cross that bridge when she came to it.

“But yes, let’s get moving,” she said lightly, grinning from ear to ear. “Lead on, my friend. Where are we headed?”

“Me lead? You do know you are the Queen, Ellie,” he said, deciding to shorten her name before he asked. “I guess we can first head and see that gypsy fellow friend of ours.”

“Oh, now you’ve hurt my feelings,” he smiled, quickly kicking the mug he had been drinking away from her sight. “I would never drink on the job… okay, maybe a little, but I was on break.”

She laughed again, the smile brightening her face even as she shook her head and gave him a little shove. “You’re lucky I’m not my brother! You’d at least have a lengthy lecture on the importance of responsibility. Or, at least, you would have, if he hadn’t turned into a colossal ass.” She huffed, her good mood disappearing for the moment. It returned quickly, however, when she changed the subject.

“It’s not often I see you in town, Sir Finn,” she teased lightly. “What’s brought you back home?”

“Hey, you really think I’m going to let myself be considered a lazy bum to not do my duties as a guard of the kingdom,” he patted his chest proudly while holding the muzzle of the rifle.

MY BEN:

She looked so beautiful right now to him, relaxed beneath his body even with the slight rough play he was placing on her. He leaned down, softly kissing her neck as he whispered his answer, “If I do tell you that now, it would spoil any sort of surprise, wouldn’t it?”

      Suddenly Grace was grinning ear-to-ear,       straining just enough against his wrists       to prove to him that she was there, she       was his. Pure, unadulterated joy was in       her so suddenly, eyes big and bright as       she moved her head to nuzzle into his       hair.

                “I may be ruining the surprise, but if you ask I’ll say yes”

A great elation rose inside him as he leaned down, kissing her strongly to the point that he could probably bruise her lips. It was a long while before he finally parted so that they could both breathe and promised, “I will find the perfect ring... and I’ll ask you proper like.”

The soldier was already packed and ready to go, though he knew that on the way out of town he would have to repurchase a few essentials that got lost during his adventure. At least he snagged an extra bedding for himself.

Ben looked up to the Queen, hearing her greeting and also glancing at her clothes. Smiling, he replied, “Good to see you in a more proper attire, my Lady… I should probably stop calling you that once we are on the road. Want to avoid all that celebrity nonsense, right?”

“You know I prefer it when you call me by my name, anyway,” she teased, coming to stand before him. “And I can’t very well go adventuring in pretty dresses and a crown, now can I? Jasper would be very put out if I got them dirty. I’d never hear the end of it.” She flashed him a smile. “So, where are we going? I’m game for pretty much anywhere that isn’t here.”

He let out a dramatic gasp, glancing around as to make sure no one was looking before he stated in a joking manner, “Calling you by your name would mean I am too familiar with you, Elena. We wouldn’t want to worry those suitors of yours.”

“Sorry,” she chuckled, patting his arm. “I didn’t realize you’d dozed off. How many drinks have you had? Maybe it’s time to call it quits?” Her eyes traveled to the empty glass upon the table, then back to his face, one elegant eyebrow arching. “Unless you’re dead-set on drinking yourself into an early grave.”

“Oh, now you’ve hurt my feelings,” he smiled, quickly kicking the mug he had been drinking away from her sight. “I would never drink on the job... okay, maybe a little, but I was on break.”

“Really, my King? When have we not dealt with accusations through our lives? I thought it was part of the criteria when being part of Albion’s army,” he laughed before nodding and giving a mocking salute. “Good to see you are doing well, Will.”

       “–Good to see you’re still here, I wondered if I was going to have to officially sign my second best shot off as MIA.” He chuckled, pushing his  hair away from his face. “–Although, I wonder– why’d you come back to this place? If I had the  option I’d never come back.”

“To be honest, I had really just come back to check on things,” Ben replied with a shrug. “Doesn’t look like the Darkness has returned. Probably too scared to deal with me.”

MY BEN:

Grunting softly, he growled at her and pinned her arms above her head. “The answer should be obvious… but if you want an answer, I don’t think you should tease me.”

      In the time since they’d been together, she’d       grown so receptive to his touch - back       arching and pushing her breasts upward       toward him in immediate response. The way       she looked at him now, there was something       more than lust. Grace closed her eyes and       let out a contented sigh.

                “Will you ask me to marry you someday?”

She looked so beautiful right now to him, relaxed beneath his body even with the slight rough play he was placing on her. He leaned down, softly kissing her neck as he whispered his answer, “If I do tell you that now, it would spoil any sort of surprise, wouldn’t it?”

MY BEN:

The soldier felt his face scrunch up as he listened to those words, especially after their little dance they just had together in bed. Moving so he was looking down at her, he asked, “Is this about my job, love?”

                “Avo, no”

      She laughed gently, nipping slightly       at his collar. Her leg hooked over       his own, body partly on top of his.       Damn, he was warm.

               “Just… do you want me for a long time?”

Grunting softly, he growled at her and pinned her arms above her head. “The answer should be obvious... but if you want an answer, I don’t think you should tease me.”

[devilishlyhandsomesoldier]

pxrrhic:

MY BEN:

“Sure! What is it, love?”

      Her feet tangled against his below       the sheets, arm on his bare chest.       Grace’s lips were mapping the       space between his shoulder and       his neck, blissful in the warmth of       their bed and post-sex haze.

               “Do you think we’re going to stay together for a long time, you and me?”

The soldier felt his face scrunch up as he listened to those words, especially after their little dance they just had together in bed. Moving so he was looking down at her, he asked, “Is this about my job, love?”

[devilishlyhandsomesoldier]

"Can I buy you a drink?"

“Grace, if you wanted to just want my company, you don’t need to buy me a drink.”

“Now you are just hurting my feelings, mate,” he smirked in return. “Accusing me as a liar? I thought you knew me better than that. I simply had to reassure you that your best shot has returned.”

          “–There’s no accusation when I know full and well that you               are lying. But, none the less–welcome back.” Will leaned               back in his chair. “Didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.”

“Really, my King? When have we not dealt with accusations through our lives? I thought it was part of the criteria when being part of Albion’s army,” he laughed before nodding and giving a mocking salute. “Good to see you are doing well, Will.”

[devilishlyhandsomesoldier]

orphxnking:

devilishlyhandsomesoldier liked for a starter! 

           “–I honestly doubt that you shoot better than I do.            You leave for–for how long, exactly? And the first thing you say            to me is that you’re still a better shot?” Will smiled, but shook his head.             “I believe you’ve gone insane. Oh, and I do appreciate the hello–that was nice.” 

“Now you are just hurting my feelings, mate,” he smirked in return. “Accusing me as a liar? I thought you knew me better than that. I simply had to reassure you that your best shot has returned.”

He had been ready to speak with the captain he had left behind to see what has been happening and what he had to exactly do. Ben knew he was charged to train the new soldiers and clearly, things seemed to have gotten a bit lax. The soldier did like that it was at least tolerable, but they did need more discipline than what they had now.

Of course the queen’s words surprised him. He didn’t expect her to change her mind so quickly. To be honest, he thought he would get that answer later in the noon. Even though the timing was odd, he still was at least relieved that the woman he had first met in that haunted fortress was still there.

“Oh?” he smirked. “Be careful, my Queen. People may think we are going to elope with such words.”

As to leave his joke in the air, he laughed and walked back towards the barracks of the castle grounds.

She pursed her lips as she watched him walk away. Would that really be so bad? She had to wonder.

Well, it seemed she had a bit of work to do before she was to go anywhere. Of course, it did not take her long to make her plans, but it took far longer to convince Hobson that the world would not end in her absence. Packing was not necessary; everything she could possibly need could be found in the Sanctuary, and aside from a bedroll and an extra blanket, she didn’t really need to bring anything along. She had no idea how long they would be gone for, but she made plans for a couple of months, just in case.

By the next morning, she was ready and waiting, trying her best not to look too excited. Finally, an escape from the boredom and stress that had become her life! She’d have to shower Ben with thanks later.

She had to chew on her lip to keep from smiling too broadly when she saw him, and she gave a little wave. “Morning.”

The soldier was already packed and ready to go, though he knew that on the way out of town he would have to repurchase a few essentials that got lost during his adventure. At least he snagged an extra bedding for himself.

Ben looked up to the Queen, hearing her greeting and also glancing at her clothes. Smiling, he replied, “Good to see you in a more proper attire, my Lady... I should probably stop calling you that once we are on the road. Want to avoid all that celebrity nonsense, right?”
