"A little but nothing I couldn't handle my princess," he said kissing her lips gently.  He had been aching to do that while at her house but knew that would not be received well.  "As for your brother he worries me not." his voice was soft as he spoke, "I know you can protect yourself but it is nice to know there is someone that will watch you as protectively as I would...It eases my troubled mind more than little."  He wrapped his arms around her waist letting them rest there in a comfortable embrace.  "I have a plan..." he whispered after a long silence not wanting to break this moment but knowing they needed to discuss this plan before they did anything else.
