The Forgotten Sea

[visualspice]

"Perhaps I'd be more concerned," he told her through a laugh. "If there was any chance of danger. But last time I checked, this city is the safest in the world!" And that much was true! Never had a great war or outside attack ever set foot on their sands,a nd for it- the Island nation remained untouched and lasting in it's generations of rulers beneath the Windevhr royal family.

[GoblinFae]

His words did nothing to soothe her anger. Instead it only caused her to glare fiercely at him with arms crossed about her chest. "You are the biggest idiot I've ever met! There is more than one way to get hurt you useless dolt and I hope you find that out firsthand," she hissed even as she stomped off to brush past him, miffed that he was so naive.

[visualspice]

Gherrick laughed and made chase after her.
"Come on, Aurora. You can't be that angry with me!" he protested, a hand reaching out for hers.

[GoblinFae]

The look she shot him said everything words could not. She most certainly was that angry. Her lips were pressed into a thin white line and her eyes flashed moments before her hand came out to try and box his ears.

[visualspice]

The prince gave a yelp,a nd was quick to cover his poor stinging ears.
"Aurora!" he said, giving her a pout. "You know I hadn't meant to hurt you! It was all just in good fun."

[GoblinFae]

"Doesn't matter if you meant to or not you still did! And then you have the nerve, the nerve Gherrick to say there was no way I could be hurt? And what's worse is, your excuse is fun. Use your head! One day you will lead our people Gherrick. Fun is good in its own right but you need to think about others. And before someone does get hurt."

Aurora sighed heavily, already the heat of her anger extinguished. Now she only felt tired and a bit sad. She did not like yelling at her friend, he was the best one she had after all. But, sometimes she really did wish he would remember who he was and think of that.

[visualspice]

Gherrick kept his head low, and if he had a tail, it would be well hung between his legs.
"Aurora..." his voice implored, a hand reaching out for hers. "Honestly, you know how I am. I would never intentionally hurt you." And once his hand found hers, it's warmth engulfed it. "One day, as you put it," he went on, blue eyes seeking hers, "I will lead our people. And I would not be so foolish. I just..." and here, he sighed and simply lowered his head, then got to his knees befre her and did a very unprincely thing-
he groveled.

Arms secured around her legs and he buried his face against them.
"Oh, Aurora, can you ever forgive me for my foolishness? I did not mean to hurt you."
In one way or another.
"Let me beg my forgiveness, as your humble prince and friend. However can I make it up to you?"

[GoblinFae]

She stared down at him wide-eyed as the young prince, clung to her skirts like a lost babe. "Gherrick what are you do-GET UP!" Aurora barked, pulling him to his feet but allowing her hands to linger about his arms. "Monkey tails you're an idiot," she breathed with a heavy sigh. But a light was now dancing in her eyes again even if her lips were still set into a thin line.

"You want to make it up to me?" There was a pause as she let the moment linger as if pondering a perfect punishment. "Fine!" A small hand shot out to point further towards their destination "You can start by carrying me to the kitchens and then we'll see where that leaves us." It was such an effort for her not to break out into a smirk even as she stared fiercely at him, daring him to protest.

[visualspice]

Gherrick blinked at he stared at her.
"You... want me to carry you..... all the way... there?"
Gherrick blinked again, peering over at his friend skeptically.
"But what if you're too heavy for me to carry? What if my arms fall off halfway there?"

[GoblinFae]

Her eyes narrowed to as thin of a line as her lips were pursed together. "Are you saying that the Prince, the hope of our people, and our future king is not strong enough to carry one little woman a few measly steps? Why I'm sure I could carry you, twice as far as that! And after hurting me you're going to complain about the little retribution I ask for, that you begged for?" Scoffing, she shoved at his chest and turned to stomp away from castle.

[visualspice]

Gherrick blinked and watched her storm off.
"Does that mean you're offering to carry me?" He called after her, voice echoing.

[GoblinFae]

She wanted to stayed at him, she really did but it was nigh impossible with the way he behaved. He was just too much of a lovable dork to ignore. Aurora turned slowly before giving him a long look and a heavy sigh.

"Is that what you want Gherrick?"

[visualspice]

Gherrick breathed a sigh of relief when she turned around. But then his face twisted into a smile, those blue eyes dazzling as he asked, "Why, are you actually offering?" He even eagerly leaned forward a bit, awaiting such a response with abated breath.

[GoblinFae]

Aurora crossed her arms over her chest and tapped one foot impatiently. "That is not an answer Gherrick. Besides what happened to begging for my forgiveness? Or did you find your punishment unfitting of the crime? Shall I choose another?"

[visualspice]

"Oh, I'm still begging," her told her through a smile. "I just.. have other methods of achieving it?" Though at the way his voice rose in question at the end of that statement proved that even the prince was uncertain of his decision, or rather- methods in dealing with his friends displeasure.

[GoblinFae]

For several moments Aurora just blinked quietly at Gherrick before shaking her head. "I don't think I understand a word of what you just said but if you hurry up and get your butt over here I just might forgive you," she informed him, her arms opening in welcome and the faintest of smiles lighting up her features.

[visualspice]

Gherrick beamed and accepted those arms before she could retract the offer, and suddenly he was taking her by the arms and spinning, and she'd soon find herself suddenly dancing with the prince!

[GoblinFae]

Aurora reveled in their brief hug moments before he was suddenly whisking her off her feet temporarily before beginning to dance with her. "Gherrick you idiot," she laughed playfully, "cut it out!"

However, though her words said "stop" her actions said otherwise as the young woman moved her arms up around his shoulders and joined him effortlessly in their twirling. "I don't know what I would do without you," she informed him before spontaneously leaning in to kiss his cheek.

[visualspice]

Gherrick's expression was one of surprise when she kissed his cheek. And although surprised, he smiled through his blush and gave her a 'princely' grin.
"So I take you're not angry with me? I mean, you did just kiss me!" He said with an airy laugh as they continued to dance.

[GoblinFae]

She hummed softly while pretending to think about before breaking out into a broad smile and shaking her head. "I suppose I'm not. You're impossible to hate or be cross with Gherrick." Aurora gave him a warm hug while beaming up at him.

"Just don't go thinking that you're completely forgiven. A girl can really get used to this kind of spoiling," she informed him conspiratorially.
