Emily looked around the grounds of the Castle, a frown on her face. She wanted to go out, to explore...but she was only allowed into the castle yard.
She looked as she saw a flash of fabric in the corner of her eye, and glanced around to see if she could see anything else.

Two calloused hands covered her eyes and a voice whispered gently into her ear. "Guess who?" said a gentle male voice.

Emily flushed and smiled. "Adonis!" she said. "What...Why...What are you doing here?" She raised her hands to his. "I thought you had a mission?"

He pulled his hands away, resting them around her waist and tilted his head so he could look at her face, though he still stood behind her. "I finished early and thought I'd surprise you," he said.

"This is a lovely surprise..." Emily said. She turned to look at him. "Come on, you must be hungry."

"A little, I suppose," he said.

Emily raised an eyebrow at him, and she took his hand, leading him to the kitchen. She grabbed an apple and smiled at the cook who glared at her. She passed the piece of fruit to Adonis.
"So, you'll have to tell me about your mission," Emily said, leading him to the dining area. "You've been gone for so long..."

He took the apple and bit into it, taking a moment to savor its flavor as he sat down. Then he paused while he thought of how to explain the mission. "Well...I went over seas, which is why it took so long. I was there to guard a negotiator while they met with one of the other countries."

"What's it like?" Emily asked. "I've never been on a ship before. I've actually never been out of the country before." She looked at her hands.
"I missed you, you know."

He reached out and ran a finger lightly down her nose before tapping the end. "I missed you too," he said. "Anyway, boats are pretty cool, as long as you can handle the uneven rocking of a boat on waves. And unless you are high ranked or special enough, you have to sleep in a room with a bunch of other people in cots."

Emily smiled and nodded. "Sounds fun," she replied. She watched him for a moment. "You know, I bet Crowley would let me train you to be a Ranger if you wanted to..."

He shook his head even before she'd finished. "No. I like what I'm doing now, and I'm very good at it. It's much better now that I can usually choose my missions and I don't have to kill unless I have no other choice," he said.

"But if Duncan finds out about our relationship..." Emily started. "He won't let us be together," she said. "I'm nervous about this."

"Why do you say that?" Adonis asked, taking another bite of his apple.

"Because Duncan wants me to be with a knight, I suppose." She said. "He thinks that I should be with someone like that..."
