The robed figure realized their stealth was compromised and fetched something from their pocket, then smashed it into the ground. A puff of smoke flared up, obscuring their view. 

Ibra coughed, not expecting that and realized that- if she couldn't see- neither could the assassin- and presuming- correctly- that the damn assassin would have one final move to try and off her, Ibra threw herself to the ground just as she heard something sink into the wall above her.


As the smoke cleared, Ibra noted the figure was gone- and the wall behind her was bubbling with some kind of unseen liquid that ran in lines from a dart that sunk into the wall. She paled- realizing how close she had come to being killed and continued to press her hand upon her arm wound.  Thankfully, the servants had not been targeted and aside from the terror in their eyes, they were okay.

Faraji had been ready for awhile, just waiting for the servants to inform him Ibra was finished. He didn't fault her for taking her time, in fact he was glad for the elongated time to be alone and think.

He was freshly cleansed, his shoulder re-wrapped and re-slinged to match the day-attire he had chosen. The heat of the day would be upon them, as it always was, so he had opted for the shirtless style with a plethora of cuffs and other pieces of jewelry adorning his arms, wrists, and neck. The oils used in his hair was making it fall in perfect ringlets around his face with just a few well placed braids to sweep the less obedient strands out of his face. The servants had even woven intricate beads and cuffs of gold into his hair and he looked like a prince.

Which he basically was in Essryn. Merchant Prince and all that. And the amount of money his little empire brought in daily was justification enough for his status in the world.

At first he tried to work, but his brain wasn't in the right place for that to be feasible. As much as his mother thought he was married to his ledgers, but it had been an escape more than anything else. Now he didn't want the escape.

No...he did but the little bracelet made by his son kept catching his attention and drawing him away.

Hakeshna he had a son...he had a son.

He ran a hand across his face as he tried to imagine what this first meeting would be like. How should he act? What should he expect? He wasn't green when it came to children, his sisters already had a brood of their own and he saw them often. He doted on his nieces and nephews but that was so different than having one of your own. A firstborn son. A son who, maybe one day, would inherit everything.

A sharp knock brought him out of his thoughts, and he was forced to lift his head from where it rested on his arm against the railing of his veranda.

He sighed, expecting it to once again be his mother begging an audience.

"My Lord!" His manservant hadn't even waited to be invited in before opening the door himself, eyes wide and panicked.

"What is it, Kasim?" Faraji asked, not even halfway across the room. He could see the fear in his eyes.

"It's Ibra. She's been attacked."

Faraji's blood ran cold and then he was running, Kasim close behind quickly relaying information as they moved.

By the time he'd arrive, Ibra had everything under control. Her arm that'd be slashed was tightly wound in a make shift bandage with one of the towels. Her body was prudently (and somehow even a little ornately) wrapped with towels, she wearing it as if it were just another outfit in her wardrobe.

The guards that had arrived before Faraji were inspecting all areas the assassin may have used to enter the place and paying careful attention to any shreds of evidence. 

A servant turned scribe waking taking down short hand notes as Ibra recounted the event, sighing as the only decent information she could reveal was that the would be assassin had pale colored eyes and had to have been barely a few inches over five feet tall. Other than that, nothing really stood out as rather remarkable- and the servant was scribbling down those thoughts.

"Ibra!" Faraji would have burst through the door if it had been closed, but it wasn't. There were so many people going in and out, mostly panicked servants and stoic guards with grim expressions. Most of the latter were in the washroom speaking in hushed voices while examining the wall and the window.

It was easy to get into her room seeing as it was on the first floor, but the attacker still needed to get into the estate first. And without being caught.

"Thank Hakeshna you're ok." He fell to his knees before her, and took her hands in his own.

Ibra nodded at Faraji, squeezing his hand in reassurance.

"Yes," she sighed, feeling the weight of the event pulling at her fatigue.  "It seems I was the target " she frowned , observing him to ensure he hasn't a scratch upon him. "You are safe as well?"

It was in that moment that Hakalia burst in, face pale but expression set and determined. Faisal, Faraji's father, was close behind. To her credit, his mother treated the situation with the seriousness it deserved despite her personal feelings. She began instructing the servants to retrieve proper clothing for their guest and began barking orders for her to be moved to another room.

Faraji squeezed her hand and, without breaking eye contact, instructed his mother, "No. The adjacent room in my living quarters."

Even then, Hakalia did nothing more than pause, exchange a glance with her husband who nodded curtly, and then began the preparations.

"I hope that is ok." He reached up and pushed her hair behind her ear, "It's easier to protect and harder to get to." And it was right by his side. He was trained well enough to be able to protect her should it come to that. You didn't just travel the world for trade and not become good at that kind of thing. There were a lot of people who wanted him and his family dead. You couldn't always trust that others would always succeed in ensuring your own protection.

She smiled at him, admirably. 
"If you believe it suitable... I am your guest, after all."

She was thankful the entire place was under alarm... however... it was unnerving someone would try and assassinate her here of all places. She tried not to show it had rattled her as she observed Faraji.

"Was no one else attacked?"
She needed to make sure she had been the target and it wasn't just as assault against his family and she was the next best target.

Faraji shook his head and looked around to see others doing the same. No one else had been attacked...just her...but why?

"Come with me, please." He took both of her hands and stood up, urging her to follow with a gentle pull on her arms, "I'll show you the way. It's different than the last time you were here. I have the entire east wing now. For my family. You'll be safe there. It's fully guarded."

She followed along, guided at his side but raised a hand to her lips. "The entire wing?"
His entire palace was enviable, her own home, though well off, no where near as grand.

She nodded at the remark on the guards and wondered if, when Faisal arrived, it might not be wiser to keep him here. She had initially intended him to stay with her parents who.. also, would only be meeting their grandson for the first time.

He nodded, keeping his arm around her as they walked. It wasn't exactly close to the guest room, but it also wasn't across the entire estate.

"Yes. It was built for the heir and, well, that's me I guess. I've been slowly taking over for my father these past few years. Sometimes traveling, often delegating trade to others. Lots of meetings."

A handful of servants bustled past them with linens and food as they hurried to prepare a place for Ibra. They approached large, ornately carved doors that were opened by two guards which marked the entrance to Faraji's corner of the palace.

"You should know." He stopped in the main foyer just before a grand staircase, "The rooms you're being given are intended for my wife. My staff is loyal, but I can't expect you living there to remain a secret for long..." he held her hand in his own, running his fingers along her knuckles while gazing at her fingers, her wrist. Even dressed in towels she was stunning.

"I don't know what I would have done if you weren't ok." He admitted softly.

At rhe last comment, her legs all but stopped. She, infact, almost stumbled into him.

"Faraji.. surely you're not asking me to stay permanently?" Yes.. she wore the ring now.. yes she had already given him an heir...
But the pair were hardly married.

She had assumed this little escort was temporary- her mind had not fully grasped the full idea and nature of being married. And part of her faltered under that...

It was one reason she was never so presumptuous with Faraji before- because marrying entailed a loss of the power and freedom she enjoyed over the years..

But in their society...
A wife was just that. A wife. And Ibra, for the life of her, knew that it might very well destroy all that she was if she were forced to actually play the role. She loved Faraji, would die for the man.. however..
It didn't mean she still didn't have those fears that had been brewing within her for most of her life.

He frowned at her for a moment, weighing the words unspoken that were clear behind her tone, behind her expression.

"If they were able to get past our guards," he answered slowly, "You won't be safe in your home. This is the best place for you to be if there are assassins out with your name." Surely she understood that? Surely she wasn't so stubborn that she would put herself in danger because of propriety.

He added quietly, "But...that's not what you're concerned about, is it?"

"Ok." He agreed, frowning back and breaking contact with her. His skin felt cold as he felt the rejection that was coming inch its way up into his chest.

He stepped away from her as if in a trance and gestured towards the staircase, "It's this way. You can rest for as long as you want, as long as you need." He began walking, expecting that she would follow and listening for any signs of distress.

He paused halfway up the stairs, "You're not trapped here, you know. I've never wanted to cage or restrain you."

She moved to take his arm suddenly, then surprised herself when she wrapped her arms around him tightly. 

"Faraji.." she spoke his name softly. "I know you.. I know you're heart." She smiled into his eyes. "It's why I always knew it had to be you. Above all else, I knew you were my fated love."

He sighed, hesitating a moment before pulling her close, smelling her newly cleansed skin and oiled hair. Then he broke it off, still unable to shake the feeling that, after everything, this would be the only time he would find her here in his family home. Despite everything he knew he would always want her, but it was she that he felt would leave, would itch at the title "wife."

Was this why his mother was so set against her? That she was her own woman and would never be the full definition of wife to him?

Was he truly ok with that? Because it was who she was, it was who he loved, but...sometimes love just wasn't enough. Was this one of those times?

"Come." He pressed his hand on her lower back to continue the pilgrimage through his home and towards the vast bedroom that she would be able to call her own. At least for a time. "There are guards at every door. There are no pieces of architecture that can assist climbing of any kind. We will place additional guards around you to ensure your safety."

She nodded at that.

"I apologize for all this. But I suppose I was fooling myself into hoping our reunion would remain blissful. But I suppose nothing in life comes without  a cost."

She squeezed his hand as he guided her.

Not to mention the layers of mistakes she had made.

He raised an eyebrow at that.

"You showed up, drunk, to my pre-wedding celebration and then we were caught in a flash flood that nearly killed you to keep calm enough for us to get away. You think that makes for a calm reunion?"

At that, she actually smiled.
"I.. was more or less referring to the reunion of out hearts. But I suppose our entire road is bumpy."

She leaned in closer to him as she walked, sighing happily.

"I don't know if I deserve you.. but I'm glad to love you. "

He chuckled at that and just shook his head. Hearts reunion indeed. If she had had her way, there wouldn't have been a reunion until she decided to bring Faisal to him in however many weeks that would have ended up being. Assuming she wouldn't have lost her nerve.

He pushed down the rising dread and cold grip of anger that rose when he thought about it. What ifs wouldn't help anyone and it certainly wouldn't help them. Whether she would have or wouldn't have didn't matter as much as the fact that she did and now he knew.

"Come." He murmured again, "Right through here."

The door he opened was elaborately carved and inlaid with precious stones in a rainbow of colors. It depicted family, sunsets, and even a myriad of dessert flowers all intricately designed in a flowing river of color and perfectly cured woods. Then, beyond, was a large room.

No, not just a room, but an entire house for most people. There was a receiving area where guests could lounge during visits, immaculate stations of crystal clear water for cleansing hands and feet all scented with flowers and oils to moisturize and lift spirits. Lush rugs adorned the floor, and two doors to the left would lead to the bedroom and washroom while the singular door lead directly into Faraji's suite.
