<strong>Name:</strong>Lenally D'Lannis<br/><strong>Role:</strong>Bodyguard to Lorenso<br/><strong>Location: </strong>His solar > Courtyard > Throne Room<br/><strong>Tagged: </strong>Lorenso. Kiara. Queen Thieri.<br/><br/>Lenally had stirred a bit when she felt a warm body slide into bed beside her. She smiled a little in her sleep, snuggling backwards until she felt his muscular chest against the back of her soft but toned form. She'd missed him so much and had wanted to go with him but he'd insisted she stay here to protect the royal family. She'd frowned, but obeyed. Now however, she turned over and wrapped her arms around the man she loved so completely and fell back asleep.<br/><br/>She heard a groan and her eyes began to open, as Lorenso pulled from her embrace to get himself readied for the Aserits. She too groaned a little, having been quite comfortable but knowing her duties came first. She couldn't help but smile as he began to assemble his attire, hers would be easy. Black. Black everything. she favored the color and wore little else save on Lorenso's orders. She chuckled as he cleaned some dust of the garment, he hadn't needed such fineries on the battlefield. As if reading his thoughts, she mentioned "I've missed you." she said, looking at him lovingly. "I'm so happy you weren't hurt." she smiled and looked down bashfully, as she moved to get out of bed herself.<br/><br/>When the servants called announcing the heated bath was ready, she caught that grin that always made her melt. It was unfair, that damnable grin. She walked towards the tub, seeing Lorenso already sliding down into the scented waters as she too joined him. She rested her cheek against his chest, her arms around him. "You should have let me come with you..." she pouted, lifting her head. "I could have helped." she muttered, but she caught his look and grinned a little. "I just don't like being away from you. You know that." She could feel the tension of his form, and began to massage his muscles alongside the water to help him recover. He'd need to be in fine form for the peace talks.<br/><br/>She chuckled as he dove beneath the water, sighing as he came back up as the dirt and grime washed away. "Yes, you've been sorely missed." she said, leaning in and kissing his lips. She'd not been born to nobility but her home was where Lorenso was. Her family had been lost some time ago and Lorenso had rescued her from a life of poverty and death to train her for something more. She happily accepted his second kiss, moving to straddle his lap. She knew he was tired, but she'd missed him so. And she felt a jealous rage at knowing his bed more than likely had been warmed by another. She simply wanted to restake her claim. "I always do my duty first...but you are the one I am guarding." she pouted. "But I shall protect the king and queen as well as I protect you."<br/><br/>She looked into his eyes, wanting him and needing to feel him again but she simply embraced him tightly. "Later..?" she asked, stroking his face. She forced herself off of him, watching him move to dress as she finished washing and moved to do the same. She wore her black leathers, better for concealment when it was needed and more flattering to her regardless. She laced her boots, and checked to be certain that all her weapons (concealed and not) were where they should be as she followed behind her Master.<br/><br/>She saw Kiara and smiled with a nod. She did enjoy the girl's company, and their friendship was quite genuine. Though she highly disliked the teasing of her relationship with Lorenso, she knew Kiara would never speak such things aloud. It could be scandalous and she wouldn't be able to live with causing her lover's ruination. No...she would work hard to elevate herself, to find a way to be with Lorenso the proper way. Lenally couldn't help making  a face at Lorenso's insinuation at persuading the Queen, rolling her eyes a little as she waved to Kiara, making a special sign that they would meet to talk later.<br/><br/>As Lorenso assembled his guards and troops she stood beside him, a blank, unreadable face as she started her duties. She was always at his side unless told otherwise, on the look out for anyone who might try to harm her lover. She would give her life to keep him safe, and she knew that was part of her job as she watched everyone clamor about to prepare for the Aserits.
