I stood before the gates of Emperor's Reach, and I could feel the unstoppable stretching of my lips into an unintended smile, as the words I exchanged with the one still in my arms a mere hour or so ago rung joyfully in my ears.
"You're excited." Eve calmly stated, empowering her voice to just barely beat the sound of the deafening headwind created by our speed, so that only I could hear her.
"Hmm?" I looked at her in confusion for a moment, as my eyes that were lost in the fog of thought regained their clarity, before I lovingly asked "Had a good rest love?"
"Mmm." She adorably murmured in conformation, while ever so lightly lowering her head to hide the subtle blush that was slowly colouring her cheeks, feeling somewhat embarrassed to have so innocently fallen asleep in my arms without notice.
