Argrim sighed.
"I'm... not sure my boy," he resigned.
"I just guess you'll have to know what is right when the time comes..."

Llyr sighed and drilled his eyes shut. He inhaled a few times before he looked up, his stony expression returning.
"Sorry for burdening you again Argrim... I'll let you return to your forge." He turned to leave, feeling no better than he had upon coming to see his friend.

Sabela stared down at her hands, unable to sleep. She didn't dare look up, for fear of catching sight of the packed trunks at the end of her bed. A hand shot up instantly to brush away another tear that fell. It had been nearly a week since she had leant the news from her father, but still she was crying. Tonight would be the last she would spend in her bed. Tonight would be her last night in this palace. Maybe it would be the last night she was ever home ever again. She hugged her arms, long wavy blonde hair curtaining her face.

For a week Llyr had dodged everyone, he'd begged temporary leave from the King in order to 'get his affairs in order for the journey'... the only 'affairs' Llyr had were those concerning Princess Sabela.
For a week he'd laid awake at night, scaling up to her balcony to knock on her window in his waking dreams. Night after night he'd talked himself out of the course of action... it would only deepen his obsession and make things so much harder for the both of them.
But night and day he could not keep her from his mind. So this night his heart prevailed over his head. Fully dressed he climbed from bed, fetching his pipe he headed for the garden, knowing of a nice large tree that came nearly to the lip of Sabela's private balcony.
With skill he climbed the large tree, finding a branch that hung low by her balcony and draping himself on it. For a moment he thought better of this... surely it would not help but hinder.... then he spied the packed trunks through the darkened window and made his choice.
The pipe went to his lips, and instead of playing a well practiced tune he'd learned from the palace musicians he played his heart, the lilting tune flowing with note after note of sorrow and desire. His passion and love, his sadness and longing all whispered through the night air as he played softly towards the shuttered door.

Sabela's eyes shot up at the sound of the soft melody floating through her window. The second note had barely played before she scrambled off of her bed to open the shutters, letting in the crisp frozen air into her room, without pausing so much as to adorn a gown to cover herself a little more appropriately. She walked out, barefoot, onto her balcony, closer to the branches in which Llyr rested.
"Llyr..." she whispered, tone fearful. "What are you doing?... What if someone wakes?"

Llyr stopped playing and opened his eyes when he heard Sabela's voice warning him. He stood and balaced nimbly across the branch before leaping down onto the balcony.
"Then let them wake and sharpen the executioners axe." He said, essentially telling Sabela that he didn't care who saw or heard them now. "For come the light of the morrow i am as good as a dead man anyhow." He took her arms with gentle hands and drew her closer to him.
"If it were within my power to stop this i would do it all for you. I would take that Hasnian Kingdom alone if that is what it took." His eyes were sincere and forlorn.

Sabela sobbed softly as Llyr took her arms. She touched his hands gently; his skin felt so warm against hers.
"I wish tomorrow would never come..." she whispered softly.

"Don't think about tomorrow..." Llyr said, raising a hand to cup the side of her delicate face, stroking her soft skin. "Just enjoy right now..." He leaned in to kiss her softly.

Sabela was taken by surprise as Llyr kissed her. It wasn't the action that took her off-guard, rather that the unreserved feeling behind it. Like any fear he held about their love had gone, at least for now. She kissed him back tenderly, before she pulled away to look up to his blue-green eyes.
"Come inside," she begged in a whisper.

Llyr didn't fight as the Princess gently urged him inside, he just wanted to spend this night with her... this last night that they had to give one another.

Sabela ran to lock her doors, in case anyone wanted to interfere.

Llyr's veins were filled with fire as he entered Sabela's room, pulling shut the door to the balcony and locking it with shaking hands. By the time he'd completed this task Sabela had locked the other door and he crossed the room to meet her in the middle, seizing her in his arms to kiss her again with desperate passion.

Sabela fought back another onslaught of tears as her lips crushed to his.
"I love you so much," she whispered between their lips.
