Chapter 16 - The Next Morning
I woke up bobbing up and down in a pair of warm arms.
As my eyes fluttered open, the voice of a man surrounded my ears.
Dix Aveguard
Are you awake, Rose?
I turned around and saw Dix behind me, riding the horse that we were on.
Rose Riverback
Dix... where are we?
Dix Aveguard
I pushed you too hard last night, so after a few hours of sleep, I decided that we should head on.
That's right... Dix and I did it so many times last night.
He also squirted inside of me more than once.
I don't think I have any of the contraceptive tonic left...
Dix Aveguard
What's wrong? What's on your mind?
Rose Riverback
But I was hoping to get some painkillers before I departed.
Dix Aveguard
I've got you covered. Here.
He handed me a small glass bottle filled with pills as I smiled.
Rose Riverback
Oh... thank you, Dix.
I ate them unknowing that they were in fact vitamins to promote pregnancy and laid down, my head on Dix's chest.
Dix Aveguard
What's wrong?
Rose Riverback
I-I... like my gift.
Dix Aveguard
You mean, your bracelet?
Dix Aveguard
You can rest easy, I'm here to protect you.
Dix Aveguard
We still have a few days left of travel.
He then started to play with my hair affectionately until I finally spoke up.
Rose Riverback
Dix... did we know each other before now?
His eyes tensed a little but he smiled, recovering.
Dix Aveguard
Of course not. You would have remembered someone with the name Dix, wouldn't you?
Rose Riverback
You're right. I would have remembered the unusual yet pretty name!
Dix Aveguard
Don't say that... there is nothing pretty about my name...
Dix Aveguard
Yours on the other hand suits you perfectly. Roses are red but they can be pink, blue, yellow too.
Dix Aveguard
It suits your beautiful rosy hair perfectly.
I feel like idle chatter is the best thing at this point.
I blushed when I remembered all of the things that he had taught me.
Dix Aveguard
What's the matter?
Rose Riverback
N-Nothing, I can assure you.
Then, Dix stopped the horse and patted my head, his eyes concentrating on something in the bushes.
Taking out his bow and arrow, he took a stance and immediately made my heart flutter at his serious expression.
Shooting the arrow, he smiled as he ran in and came out with a wild boar on his shoulders.
Dix Aveguard
There! We've got dinner for tonight, so it seems!
That night, he chopped up and cooked the boar over an open flame.
Rose Riverback
You are so skilled at this...
Dix Aveguard
What, cooking? I'd hope to think so. Before I got a job at the palace, I was a dishwasher at a restaurant. I picked up on a few tips and tricks along the way.
Rose Riverback
Hold on, you aren't noble born?
He smiled and pressed a finger against my lips.
Dix Aveguard
Shush... eat this.
Handing me a skewer, I was quickly distracted by the good food and startrs to eat away, forgetting my question entirely.
