Yes?! Kali's lover said yes? The elf could scarcely believe her ears. The single word of acceptance rang in her head like the thunderous echo that followed the chiming of great bells. The young woman's hear throbbed and beat against her rims like the skin of a drum and her sweet golden eyes were wide with shock, so bewildered was the elf. What she had been offered in a moment of childish (and foolish)  stubbornness had been taken for truth and now the young duelist was to get her wish! Oh how she wished this moment would never end.<br/><br/>Sadly, the universe was not as accommodating as her mind had wished. A moment later she was pushed towards the closed door. The elf stumbled back , weak knees buckling almost immediately as her heels failed to take purchase on the carpet of her room. Her back hits the wood with a dull thud and Kalig groaned, her eyes blinking before Lanthra was upon her in the space of a heartbeat with heated lips pressed up against her own. She melted into the embrace, sagging back against the door while her arms moved to hook about her lover and pull their hips close together while their lips embraced and tongues crashed against one another.<br/><br/>While they kissed, thoughts of what was said ran rampant through Kali's head. What would she do? What would they do. The very realization that this was very real was still almost too much to bear. Thad had to pla- there was really no time to plan! Kali wanted to be out of the castle this instant and she had no doubt that Lanthra felt the same. She would elope with Lanthra, steal away with the princess on horseback just like some daring adventurer out of some little child's tale- but this was all so very real.<br/><br/>Reluctantly she broke the kiss, her lips wet with their mingled salive and glistening in the candlelight of her room.  Her cheeks are flush, dark skin a far more ruddy shade than normal as she panted and looked her lover dead in the eyes, feeling very much in the moment exactly like the daring swashbuckler she'd imagined.<br/><br/>“I have my sword and you, you're magic. We can  trick the guards near the armory and get you your own weapon and then steal away from the stables,” Kali was absolutely beside herself, her  words frantic and voice cracking in multiple places as her brain struggled to keep pace with the incessant flow of elvish tumbling forth from her lips, “ You'll be lucky if I don't take you in the hay just like some brute swashbuckler in a romance novel.”<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
