The Halls of Winterfell

[Flex]

"That would be a wise choice," Damon said, beginning the walk back to the great hall. "What shall we say we have been doing?"

[Elyssa Stark]

"Well," Elyssa said quietly. "I didn't think about that. Do you think they will...make assumptions?"

She laughed. "If they even noticed we left at all."

[Flex]

"Assumptions abou-oh," Damon said, coming to a full stop. "If your brother thinks that then... well... he said he did not want me doing anything."

[Elyssa Stark]

"What do you mean by that?" She turned back to face him when she.heard.his.shoes.stop on the smooth.stone tiles. "I'm sure they.wont have missed.us," she said comfortingly.

[Flex]

"How can you be sure? Maybe he had someone watching me, to make sure I didn't... dishonour you," Damon suggested.

[Elyssa Stark]

She laughed again. "Certainly not!"

When his expression did not change, her own smile faded. "But do you really think we would have been followed? To have been overheard..."

[Flex]

"I do not think we were, but I am sure we will find out," He said finally, taking her hand again and leading the way to the entrance of the feast hall.

[Elyssa Stark]

"I suppose we'll have to," she said resignedly, following behind.

Just before the doors, she stopped. "Damon?" She rested the palm of her hand on the chest of his doublet.

[Flex]

"Y-yes?" Damon asked, looking into her eyes. She was beautiful, it struck him again, and what's more she was very, very close to him.

[Elyssa Stark]

"Well I was just thinking..." She looked down, feeling shy and forward all at once. Then she did.it; she got up on her toes and kissed him. It was over too fast.but the fluttery.feeling in her gut kept on.

[Flex]

Damon was stunned and wanted to move away at first but when the kiss was done he realized he wanted more. One arm going to take her hand again, Damon kissed Elyssa back; softly, but with an undertone of intensity.

[Elyssa Stark]

Elyssa put her arm up around his neck and let him kiss her, somewhat surprised that it seemed all the shyness had gone out of them the moment their lips met. When they broke apart, she licked her lips reflexively and looked down. She was sure her face was on fire. "Well," was all she could think to say.

[Flex]

"I... well..." Damon said, looking away a little shyly. "I don't think your brother would have liked that," He added, though his hand did not move from hers. In face, he had somewhat subconsciously pulled Elyssa closer to him during the kiss.

[Elyssa Stark]

"He probably wouldn't. Shhhh!" she hissed, putting a finger against Damon's lips. "Don't you dare tell him." She giggled and squeezed his hand.

[Flex]

Damon replied by pushing Elyssa against a wall and kissing her again, unable to help himself. "I won't say a thing," He said between kisses, holding her tightly to him.
