Re: The thief and the princess (Love on her arms)

Looking at him her gaze moved down to his foot and the stirrup that was about eye level, why did she have to be so short? He told her she could do it then looked away from her, leaving the girl huffing hands on her hips thinking how she was going to get up there. Chewing on her lip Macy worked on trying to her her foot into the stirrup only to pause at what he said and sighed softly going throw her options it was either stay here and stay lost or go with him and hope for a village soon. "Well I'd say Im better off with you then staying here lost" With a squealing grunt she tried to pull herself up with her foot in the stirrup, feeling herself about to fall she yelped grabbing hold of his arm and clung to it. "A little help please, I have no idea what Im doing and if you haven't noticed Im a little short and about to fall" Foot still in the stirrup she was clinging to his arm so she didn't fall down, dark curls fell into her face as she looked up at him.

Aris broke into a deep chuckle as she tried to mount the steed, and clutched onto his arm for support. He averted his eyes as her dress rode up, high on her thigh, and he raised an eyebrow as she practically begged him for help. He was slightly suprised that she didn't know how to ride a horse yet, and shook his head once. As she was swinging precariously, he reached down and grabbed her hand, strongly claiming it in his and swinging her up behind him. He didn't bother to settle her in, she could do that herself. Letting go of her hand, he sat in front of her, loosly pushing his booted foot back into the stirrup. Taking the reins, the horse moved over at a touch of his heels, breaking into a smooth trot.

Huffing Macy gave him a look "Stop laughing at me and help!" Clinging to his arm she tried to pull herself up again using his arm as a hold and her foot pushing up on the stirrup but she was to short and was doing it all wrong, that much she did know. Finely he reached down and grabbed her hand in his much larger one and swung her up behind him, she squealed softly and let out a breath now sitting on the horse behind him. "Thanks" A blush came to her cheeks as she squirmed a little bit getting settled and smoothed back down her skirt. Macy wasn't ready for the horse to move and squealed softly quickly wrapping her arms around Aris waist. Letting out a breath she relaxed more enjoying the ride more but still kept her arms around his waist. "So I don't know your name yet, and where are we going?"

by Spritz Thu Nov 17, 2011 1:52 pm

The pure white steed's hooves fell onto the ground with soft thumping noises, his head bobbing slightly as he walked. The horses solid muscles moved under his hide, the gentle swaying motion rocking the riders on his back. Aris remained expressionless as he felt her arms lace around his waist, and he only stiffened momentarily, before deciding there was no other way for her to hang on. He was very aware of her presence, her body brushing against his back, and he shook his head, clearing his thoughts. Pursing his lips, his hands lightly held the leather reins, and the horse swiftly and gracefully broke into a gentle, rocking canter. They moved between the tree's with ease, and Aris turned his head slighly as he heard the woman speak.

"My name is Aris. I am going where I need to go."

by LoveOnHerArms Thu Nov 17, 2011 2:00 pm

Arms around his waist Macy felt him stiffen for a moment before relaxing again, she couldn't think of any other way to hang on, and was happy that he seemed ok with it, she tried not to press her body into his back keeping a few inches between them, but that was hard and her body would brush against his back every now and then. When the horse moved into a canter the girl couldn't help but tighten her hold around his waist a little bit, but it was so smooth, like sitting on a rocking chair that she wasn't scared. Leaning back a little so she could see his face, she smiled lightly "Aris huh? Well Aris where would that be? And you probably already know but Im Macy"

Looking around them Macy smiled easily taking in everything, part of her was thrilled, she was going to see some of the world, but some of her was still unsure and a little scared about this, that part was fading fast as she took everything in. Her arms loosened a little around his waist.

by Spritz Thu Nov 17, 2011 2:05 pm

Aris nodded a curt greeting, before turning his head and facing the road ahead of them. He felt her loosen her arms around his waist, and couldn't help but wonder where this was headed. Now he was stuck with a second party, and a woman none the less. A woman that seemed pretty much defensless, and would only draw attention to them. Sighing, he raised his hand and rubbed his temples slightly, as if he had a headache. The stallion knew where to go, how to get out of the forest. The forest was quiet, peaceful. Golden sunlight filtered through the trees, and songbirds flitted from branch to branch, cheeping happily and cheerfully warbling out their beautiful songs.

"I did not know your name, Mlady."

by LoveOnHerArms Thu Nov 17, 2011 2:40 pm

Looking around smiling Macy took every thing in and sighed happily before looking up at him in surprise "Really? Oh well it's just Macy no need for the Mlady or any thing else" Watching as he rubbed his temples Macy shrugged a little, getting that he though she would be trouble and stick out. "If it helps any I can use a bow and arrow, and I know a little bit about sword fighting" Macy didn't want to be a trouble for him, "And Aris? I don't want to be a trouble for you and I'll try not to be, this is all just new" With a shrug she looked back around them smiling again listening to the beat of the horses hoof beats with the birds chirping happily. Taking a deep breath she closed her eyes smiling and let it out slowly. "You never answer my question, where are we going?"

by Spritz Thu Nov 17, 2011 2:54 pm

A small smile played on Aris's lips for a second, as she told him to treat her formally. "You are the princess, not a regular village girl." He felt the need to point the fact out, and he shook his head slightly. "You're father will be looking for me. I am not going back to the castle. If and when we reach a village, or go near one, I will let you stay there and make provisions for you untill you can get...back." Running a hand through his dark hair, he raised an eyebrow and shook his head. He distinctivley felt her arms around his waist, and slowed the horse into a smooth trot.

by LoveOnHerArms Fri Nov 18, 2011 7:19 pm

Sighing Macy looked up at him and rolled her eyes, "Right....Sometimes I wish I was a normal village girl" Chewing on her bottom lip Macy looked around, hearing him she frowned slightly and shook her head "I doubt my father will be looking really hard for me, he doesn't really talk to me back home. I think he likes it better when Im gone, the only time I ever really get to talk to him or see him is when we have guests and he had to have me around." Macy wasn't trying to get him to feel sorry for her or anything she was just telling the truth. Looking around her smile was starting to come back as she looked around them, her arms still around his waist but more loose then at first, she wasn't as scared anymore about being on the horse and was really enjoying it now. So.....Where is your place or whatever were going?"

by Spritz Wed Nov 23, 2011 12:05 pm

Aris set his jaw tightly as she rolled her eyes, then turned his head so he wasn't looking at her any longer. The smooth motion of the horse beneith him made his hips bump slightly against hers, but he ignored it and continued to stare ahead. He listened to her, before raising an eyebrow and nearly sighing. "He'll want you back, believe me." Shaking his head, he ran a hand through his dark hair. "I dont have a home. I have a few things to take care of. It was your choice to come, but I'm not heading to a village for a while." His voice was low, and he narrowed his eyes.

(Gosh, I'm so sorry it took me so long to reply, and for my short posts. ):)

by LoveOnHerArms Wed Nov 23, 2011 1:12 pm

Looking around Macy's smile slowly came back to her face, looking back up at him she opened her mouth to say something but changed her mind and closed her mouth with a slight nod. Maybe her father was looking for her but she really didn't think so. Looking around nibbling on her bottom lip the girl looked back up at him as he spoke and nodded "Alright Aris, I promise I won't be a real bother and I'll try to stay out of your way" She gave him a bright smile before looking back around as they rode, she was getting a little sleepy from the rocking of the horse, her arms tightened a little more around his waist, she wanted to rest her head on his back but stopped herself and yawned softly watching everything go by.

(It's all good hun! And sorry about my short post >.< )

by Spritz Wed Nov 23, 2011 3:07 pm

Aris chuckled deeply, but didn't respond to what she had said. Shaking his head, his fingers loosly held the reins, the steed gently rocking at a steady canter. The scenery moved by quickly, and Aris was aware if Macy's arms looped around his waist. She seemed tired, as he heard her yawn but didn't think anything of it. He craned his neck around slightly, narrowing his eyes and studying her features. Her long ginger hair complimented her wide green eyes, tiny freckles sprinkled across her nose and cheeks. Her lips were pink and soft, and he couldn't help but gaze at her a bit, before narrowing his eyes slightly. Shaking his head, he turned back around and hoped she hadn't noticed him looking at her. To be truthful, he didn't think she was all that bad looking. Sure, she wasn't the usual, but she had a certain charm about her.

by LoveOnHerArms Thu Nov 24, 2011 10:41 pm

Getting sleepy Macy watched everything move by quickly, the smooth rocking canter the horse was doing wasn't helping her at all, it was making her sleepier, she was fighting with herself not to lay her head between his shoulder blades and close her eyes. Arms tightening just a little bit more around his waist, she felt his eyes on her and looked up at him right when he looked ahead again, a faint blush came to her cheeks with a soft drowsy smile. Finely the girl couldn't fight it anymore and softly laid her head on his back. She felt his muscles tense up a little and sighed "Is it alright if I do this? Im kinda sleepy" Her voice was apologetic, Macy wasn't trying to make him unset she just didn't want to fall off if she fell asleep and leaning more into him was the best idea she came up with. Snuggling a little more into his back she closed her eyes arms tighter around his waist head laying between his shoulder blades.

by Spritz Fri Nov 25, 2011 6:05 pm

The soft thudding of the steed's large, heavy hooves made Aris smile slightly, his hips moving back and forth, absorbing the energy the horse's movements were creating. He suddenly felt soft pressure on his back, between his shoulderblades, and stiffened slightly. Soon, Macy's soft, timid voice called out behind him, her warm breath tickling his neck as she spoke. He gave a half hearted shrug, a tiny smile playing on his lips as he did so.
Her slender arms wrapped tighter around his midsection, and her head fell back onto him once again. He could understand that she was tired, and pursed his lips slightly. He didn't like anyone seeing his own emotions, and frowned slightly, thinking.
(WHOA fail! Sorry!!)

by LoveOnHerArms Fri Nov 25, 2011 9:10 pm

Closing her eyes Macy slowly drifted into a light sleep her arms around his waist, front pressed into his back. Her breathing became slower and softer as the rhythm of the horse make it easy to fall asleep, hair slipped in front of her face a slight pout on her lips.

Fail! >.< sorry........its so short!

by Spritz Sat Nov 26, 2011 4:47 pm

(I have those days, we all do. No problem!)
Soon, the girl was sleeping, her arms wrapped around Aris's waist. He was well aware of her chest pressed tightly against his back, and swallowed once. He felt extremley awkward with her body so close to his, his cheeks slightly tainting a light pink. Running a hand over his stubble covered jaw, he set it tightly in place.
A few hours later~
The steed came to a slow halt, sweaty and tired from the journey. Aris was sitting very still, but he moved his hands down and unclasping her arms from around his waist. Sliding off of the horse, he caught her before she could fall and picked her up off of the steed's back, carrying her in his arms and setting her down near the base of a tree.

by LoveOnHerArms Sat Nov 26, 2011 5:05 pm

Sleeping soundly Macy didn't stir until she felt herself falling slightly, but then she was against something hard and warm. Yawning she nuzzled her face into his shoulder slowly waking up. Blinking sleepily the girl looked up at him still half asleep when he set her on the ground. "Were here?" She asked yawning and rubbing her eyes trying to wake up. Blinking she looked around but nothing looked familiar to her, pushing hair out of her face she looked up at Aris sleep still in her eyes.
"Where is here?" Macy was a slow at waking up, normally it took a little while for her to be fully awake. Stretching out with a soft groan, her body felt stiff and sore, was that normal after riding? She wasn't sure.

by Spritz Sat Nov 26, 2011 5:28 pm

Aris's arms slid out from under Macy's body, and he slowly straightened. Silver moonlight filtered through the treetops, illuminating his features slightly. The princess opened her eyes, before sleepily looking at him. Her bright hazel orbs reflected the soft light, sparkling slightly and making Aris blink once. Macy pushed her hair out of her eyes, looking sleepy and slightly bewildered.
"Shh... Go back to sleep-"
His voice was quiet and deep, and the male turned away from her. Striding back to where his horse was patiently waiting, he slid the reins over the steed's mighty head and led the animal closer to where Macy was sitting. Aris's hands quickly worked over the soft leather of the saddle, undoing the girth and sliding it off of the horses sweaty back. After taking out a cloth, he rubbed the beast's body down, before unbridling it and letting him go to graze. The horse wouldn't leave them, he wouldn't go too far. Turning, Aris looked back to where Macy was still sitting.
"I'm not going to risk traveling any more tonight. We all need to rest."

by LoveOnHerArms Sat Nov 26, 2011 6:30 pm

Looking around Macy was confused, when did it get dark? Yawning she looked at Aris as he told her to go back to sleep in a deep quiet voice. She was still half asleep watching him untack the horse leaning against the trunk oh the tree curled up.
Looking at him, or well his larger fram Macy yawned nodding "Ok...that sounds great" She mumbled, slowly laying down on the ground next to the tree, eyes slipped shut she curled up a little.
Soon the girl was asleep again hair falling into her face, breathing slowly and softly using her arms as a pillow curled up on the ground.

by Spritz Sat Nov 26, 2011 6:38 pm

Aris let out a heavy sigh as soon as Macy fell back asleep. He strode around the small clearing, quickly gathering a bit of kindling, along with a few logs that were strewn on the forest floor. Arranging the small sticks and leaves, he pulled out two flint stones and chipped the two together, rewarded with a few stray sparks. They died out within seconds, and he tried again. After a few minutes, a tiny tendril of smoke wafted up into the night air, and Aris hunched down, leaning over the group of sticks. Blowing lightly, he was soon rewarded with a small flame, and slowly fed the fire, bit by bit until he was able to add one of the logs without smothering the fire completley.
He was exausted, and shook his head, running a hand through his dark hair. Trying to stay awake, he turned around and spotted Macy's figure lying on the ground. The night was chill, and he made his way over to his saddle bags and opened one.
Digging inside of the leather pouch, he pulled out a light wool blanket, and moved to Macy's side. His booted feet stopped a few feet from her head, and he unfolded the blanket. Draping it over her body, he made sure it covered her, his fingers slightly brushing against her cheek as he did so. Turning away, he made his way back to the fire and sat down, his back pressed against the trunk of a large oak tree.

by LoveOnHerArms Sat Nov 26, 2011 6:52 pm

Sleeping Macy made a slight pout as she nuzzled her face more into her arms laying on her stomach, she was getting cold but to tired to care about it. Letting out a sigh when something warm went over her and covered her she smiled faintly and nuzzled her face more into her arms again hair falling more into her face, the brain falling over one shoulder blade onto the ground. The girl sleep soundly the rest the night.

And my brain died.......sorry!

by Spritz Sat Nov 26, 2011 7:00 pm

Morning~

Aris woke up with a start, sitting up abruptly and hearing his back crack. A gruesome expression on his face, he blinked and squinted, the golden morning sunlight pouring into the forest, filtering through the treetops and warming his body. His shoulders and back hurt from sleeping in an upright position, and he rolled his shoulders, also hearing them crack harshly.
Giving a bemused shake of his head, his eyes ajusted to the light and he cocked his head to one side. Flexing his fingers, he yawned widley before turning his head. His sharp green eyes fell onto Macy's sleeping figure, and a slight smile came to his lips. He was finding that he didn't mind having company, even if it was a woman. Not wanting to admit it to himself, it was better than having a man, by all means.Striding over to his saddle bags once again, he dug into one of them and pulled out a small bundle of jerky.
(eep)

by LoveOnHerArms Sat Nov 26, 2011 10:28 pm

Sound asleep Macy grumbled something into her arms with a slight frown as Aris started moving around and making noise. Still stretched out on her stomach the blanket coving her small frame she slept not wanting to get up, even if she was stiff and sore- and the ground wasn't the softest. Groaning she moved around a little, trying to get the morning sun out of her eyes,pulled the blanket over her head before going back into a deeper sleep with a sigh. Most of her hair had fallen out of the braid as some point in the night, leaving it a mess.

by Spritz Sun Nov 27, 2011 10:24 am

The male distinctly heard Macy waking up, small groans emitting from her lips. He rolled his eyes, before pushing himself back up and standing. Walking over to her form, he nudged her slightly with his booted foot.
"Beauty sleep's over princess. Get up, or I'll have to pick you up."
Shaking his head, his voice was deep and low, and he ran a hand through his dark hair. Turning back to the fire, he quickly put out the small flame and brushed away the remaining ashes with his fingers.
(WHOA. I lost my brain, gotta go find it.)

by LoveOnHerArms Sun Nov 27, 2011 9:34 pm

Groaning Macy swatted at his foot trying to make him stop.
"Nooo, leave me alone" She grumbled pulling the blanket more over her head trying to hid from him and wanting to sleep more. She was falling back into a deep sleep, as he put the fire out.
With a sigh she nuzzled her face more into her arms under the blanket and fell back asleep. The girl was a bear to wake up in the morning, and really didn't like waking up early.
