Two weeks had passed since Kyera first woke up . Her body was healed now, and the family had finally relaxed enough knowing she was well . She packed her things the night before as Clovis and Kyera prepared to return home… or at least to Shadow Vale .
"Do you think our daughter will have grown?" Kyera asked looking over at Clovis with a bright smile . Her hair was pulled back in a high ponytail as she saddled the dragon at her side . He chuckled and nodded, tucking his own items into the saddle bags .
Advertisement"If she hasn't I will be surprised . She was already so lively when we left, it had to have done her some major good . " Clovis admitted, closing the saddle bag and patted the dragons dark scales . The pair worked in harmony to prepare for their trip home .
"I bet she will be much happier now . Afterall, she has so many people to dote on her plus the baby . " Kyera added, thoughtfully . There was a sense of sadness in her eyes as well though, and Clovis wasn't quite sure why . The expression on his face was enough to ask the question between the pair . "I just hope we can take her home one day . Being forced to leave the palace of her birth, and to become a enemy in her homeland… its difficult to swallow . No matter how much she loves Shadow Vale it will never be her heartland . "
Clovis watched Kyera for a long moment . There was a sense of complexity behind his eyes as though trying to word something rather difficult . "Kyera dear, is that how you feel as well? Do you… miss the forest?" he asked a bit cautiously . She smiled softly, thinking of the garden .
"I do miss home . I mean… to be honest it has been hard on me . Being taken away from home, and then everything that has happened since then has made me miss my little safe haven . " Kyera admitted carefully, there was a sense of warmth in her eyes . There was a certain amount of curiosity in his eyes as he wrapped his arms around her waist .
"What was your haven?" He asked slowly walking her forward, his arms wrapped around her waist, and his chin resting on her shoulder . She let herself rest back against his chest, looking at his hands over her tummy .
"Ironically enough it's the little garden behind the house I grew up in . My brother's are buried there, and it always felt like I was protected . It was like… in that garden under the stars I was just a little girl, watching the stars . I wasn't a princess, I wasn't a knight . I was just me . " Kyera explained smiling as they walked out into the courtyard, him still holding her close .
He finally sighed, pressing a light kiss to his neck before standing up and wrapping an arm around her waist instead . "I see . It was a place where you had no responsibility or restraint . " Clovis tried to simplify how she was feeling and making him smile . Listening to his explanation she realized he knew how she felt . Her hand found his and her fingers intertwined with his .
"You know… when we get back we can take our little girl flying for the first time . " Kyera offered trying to make a plan to look forward to . He grinned soflty nodding .
"It would be a absolute blast for you, darling . I will probably stay on the ground . No offense, I love flying but after last time, I think I am better suited to riding behind you or on the ground . " He replied with a gentle smile . Kyera chuckled kissing his cheek .
"Sooo we finally found something you don't excel at . " She teased and he shot her a look . There was a moment before he sighed .
"Let's go say goodbye to your family dear, I am ready to get back to our family and prepare to take over our home . " CLovis sighed, knowing he would have to bide his time to actually fence words with her . For now, he would just bide his time .
