She did her best to smile through the pain, though it felt lopsided to her; "The freedom I want is not a freedom you can offer," she said sadly, "I will always need protection. I am an enemy to some of the most powerful men in the world...I will always ben in danger."

Delinal looked at her and said "But can decide when you want to risk your life in my city. To be locked up, and trapped would drive any one insane."

Tristeza blew an errant strand of hair from her eyes; "For me, it will probably only speed up the process," she joked, with another lopsided, ironic smile.

The Sea Lord smiled and nodded, "You also need your own secrets. I will not pry the next time."

"No," she said insistently, "I need no secrets from you; there may be things I do not surrender, but if you ever have a question, I promise now that I will answer it truthfully." she hesitated momentarily, "I have put my life, and the lives of my subjects in your hands--a secret is worth pennies in comparison...I trust you."

The Sea Lord looked at her and said, "Likewise."

Tristeza nodded slowly, and laid her head upon his nearby chest, "Thank you."

The Sea Lord began to squirm underneath her, and then he started stroking her hair. He looked down at her and remained quiet.

Her breathing began to slow, as she drifted to sleep.

////////////////////////////////
Later that same night. There is an insistant knock at Lady Tristeza's chamber's door.

Tristeza started awake violently, wondering what must have happened to her guards--at first the knocking sounded as though it was banging--as though to force entry. She leapt to her feet in an instant, and lifted both of her stilletto blades from the night stand. She made not a noise as she crept from the bed to the door. "Come in." she said, as she stood immediately to one side of the large double doors, flat against the wall.

The door slammed open and Sergyo walked in to the darkened room, staring the silhouette of the bed he said, "You love me not matter what, don't you."

Tristeza sighed audibly with relief as she heard his voice, and kicked the door shut behind him. She dropped the daggers on a nearby table with a clatter, and stalked miserably back to bed, the tiredness she had not had time to overcome when having awoken, suddenly overcoming her, "Of course," she mumbled, as she crawled back into the bed, "I thought that was common knowledge." she pulled the covers up over her, and curled up, her eyes shutting.

He stalked to her side and threw back the covers. Reaching down he pulled her into a powerful kiss. Breaking the kiss he said, "I did not understand... I am sorry." Then he lowered his mouth into hers again, his tongue exploring her mouth.

Hope you all are well and happy.
