*Kaisa returned the quick kiss, letting Ale move her off. She's pretty much dressed the same way. What the heck went on last night?


 "Probably should wash up. You want to go first? I don't think I'll be able to go and get food, so can you get it while I wash."
Jonathan
"Well why don't we do what we always do? Go get our food together? When was the last time you had any blood?"

He asked, being curious, as they usually did the food hunting together... Usually at least; they haven't really been eating much, at least Ale hasn't been eating much. He had physical signs of exhaustion from a lot of things, which include: Lack of Sleep -which could be from him waking up at random times of the night to keep guard around Kaisa-, a lack of food -which could be from Ale not wanting to spend money, saving it for a good home-, and of course... Well, soreness! They were travelling a lot. As this goes on, he leaned on the wall, putting pressure on one leg, the leather slightly sagging, which was a good sign that the leather was well maintained. It was quite obvious that he was comfortable around her. Of course he was comfortable around her, she has his fiancée for crying out loud! Of course, it'd be a very long time before they'd get married. The world is a dangerous place and well... Getting married at the wrong time can cause some massive issues!

Taking a closer look at Ale, it was obvious that well... He has gained some muscle. He wasn't stronger, nope not at all, rather, he was just more toned. A lot of physical exertion this month! He was also quite dirty... Looking like he has been Rolling on powdery dirt every day. He'll need to wash much better! His hair was still fine but... He hasn't really shaved. He had a beard growing... Well, at this point it just looks like a stubble. Seems like he'll grow a great beard! Like a blond Canadian Lumberjack! But yes, he doesn't know if he should shave... Or Kaisa would like the beard. He'll just keep it until she makes a comment. He can pretty much do this now... Because well, he is now the head of his family, whether his uncle would like it or not. 

Speaking of his uncle... Kaisa should really meet his family! It was a long ways away, but of course, winter is coming to an end so it SHOULD be getting better now! Plus, they should have some really really good smiths... And well, the perfect and most ancient cliff used for generations of oaths and marriages! 

"Plus, I wouldn't feel safe alone in a lake by myself! It'd be so much better with a companion~"
Bernard
".....You're right... Shit."

Kaisa's face becomes pale, an expression of fear on it, not very much but noticeable to Ale. She hasn't fed in around 2-3 days. She's not sure which one. She takes a look at Ale, and she starts to worry even more. He hasn't been taking care of himself, by the way that he walks and leans on the side of the wall. He's been working hard, and he's tired.

Kaisa stands up, dressed in pretty much all black. Her pants and shirt are long enough so that they cover her arms and legs, not quite loose but not tight either. Her hourglass form quickly approaches him, her hands on the sides of his face.

"You need to rest. You're tired. Have you been sleeping well? Eating?"

She wonders why Ale is in worse condition than she is. Has he been waking up? She hasn't seen him eating too much either. His beard, she thinks, should honestly be shaved. She likes a clean face.

"I'll join you in the lake, if that's what you want. I don't mind, in fact, I enjoy the idea. But we're getting you something to eat first."
Jonathan
"You see, I'm pretty used to this. If you WANT to eat something before we take a wash, I suppose that'd be good. I don't know of a reliable source of food in the city so we can always go to a forest near a lake for food"

He said, with the same tired voice he usually has. It was more rough than usual, obviously slower too. But that could really be because of his inability to sleep! Honestly, he didn't want to show how tired he is... Nor how hungry he was... Or just how drained he is. He didn't want to worry his sunshine... Eventhough sunshine would probably kill her. Bad metaphor. When she touched his cheeks, it felt rough, mostly because of the Stubble... But also because of the dirt and well... His probably dry skin! He'll need yo moisturise his skin! 

He held her hips because well... Why not? A very gentle grasp, right at the lowest point.

He slightly rubbed her sides as he did this, either from just being unable to hold his hands up, or just because he thought it'd make her feel good. To think that he'd... Be married to her was something only found in fairy tails. The peasant hero saving the godly beauty in the tower... Or however that story went. He was happy. He didn't care if his health wasn't the best... Nor did he care if his money wasn't good anymore... He just cared if he could make her happy, satisfy her, and well, provide for everything she needs! 

He followed up with well... A more classically Ale thing to ask. Again, the voice was a bit more rough and tired, but it was still Ale. Still Ale's strange accent... Ale's pronunciation inconsistencies... And of course, Ale's voice! It was obvious that he only cared about her. Only her, no one else 

"But don't worry about me. I can handle myself, I can feed myself well enough. Since you will well... Start having more adverse issues than me without food, we should deal with yours first. Cause with that, I can probably eat that animal you drank~"
Bernard
"We should go to the lake then. We can find food there as well."

She knew that Ale loved her, and apparently he was willing to sacrifice his health so that she can be happy. Well, she was always happy with him. His face needed shaving, as well as a wash. It was quite necessary, she thought.

Feeling Ale place his hands on her hips made her feel comfortable. She favored close contact like this. It felt even better when he began to rub her sides. However, Ale shouldn't sacrifice his health. After all, if he was to help or protect her, he needed to be in prime condition. She placed her hand on his chest.

"I understand that you're willing to sacrifice your health for me, and I'm grateful. But you won't be able to help me if you keep this up. After we eat and clean up, you need to rest. We have time."
Jonathan
"Yeah yeah. I'll be sure to be in tip top condition to protect you and well.. Our future! Plus, I don't think I'll be able to build our house if I'm dead!" 

He said, grabbing his crossbow... And quiver of bolts! The bolts were pretty good. They were blunt-ish. You may ask why, but it's for a good reason! He knew he wouldn't be penetrating any metal armour so... He made a point to make them blunt! Blunt tends to be more painful... And... With the non-armoured people, it rips the skin instead of cutting straight through them! Less of a chance of them to heal up in the field without a healer.

He gave her a quick smooch. His head was tilted for that, giving her a closer and more

Personal one. Personal meaning that he was closer to her! He released, placing her forehead on hers, leaning down to meet hers.

He whispered into her ears, his voice while whispering sounded smoother... More passionate... And much more attractive honestly. If I got whispered to by some hot dude in the ear, I'd probably pass out in embarrassment!

"Kaisa~ with these developments. You and me, engaged. I'll expect more from you~. And you better expect more from me, your future husband. That would be right... Right? I'm sure you know what I'm saying. You're an intelligent woman" 

He gave her a pat before he pulled back to yawn and... Stretch his posture was a bit bad. A chiropractor or just... A massage would do some good. A massage... Oh well. What could Ale ever mean? There was a lot a medieval couple could expect from each other. A healthy dose of loving... And other rather strange things!
Bernard
*Kaisa would lovingly return the smooch, feeling his warmth flow through his lips. As he placed his forehead on hers, she caressed his face and chin, holding him close. 

"Of course. We do our best. In all things. Don't expect me to lay back and have you do all the work."

As Alek stretched back and yawned, Kaisa would begin to summon her armor. She grabbed her arm blade and shield, and clasped them on one at a time. They should get going now
Jonathan
"Yes we shall get going. We'll be going to... The nearest forest. Lets hope there is a lake! Lake tends to be a good place to wash up!"

*He said, opening the door, motioning her to go first. Chivalry isn't dead yet. It is, of course, it's golden day! His quiver was hooked onto his belt and crossbow in hand. He didn't need to look threatening! He also really didn't need his hat. They were going back here... Right? Since there wasn't really much to type here... Nor is there really much to type for hunting or... Bathing... I don't know how to RP the bathing part without being wacc*
Leon
"Let's go, then. Hopefully it's secluded."

*As Kaisa walked through the door, she would wrap her armored arm around her fiancé. Armor and helmet on, blade and shield equipped, and dagger sheathed. Just in case. This RP should end here otherwise it'll get awkward.*
