[Aug. 22] [Tales of Legendia] Bower
Title: Bower
Day/Theme: Aug. 22, 2010 "longer ways to go"
Series: Tales of Legendia
Character/Pairing: Senel/Shirley
Rating: G
Senel had stopped at the top of the hill, shading his eyes against the glare of the afternoon sun. His young bride lagged behind, so she couldn't tell what he was looking at yet. She was starting to wish she hadn't insisted on carrying the picnic basket there. It would be emptier, and thus, lighter, on the way back.
He stayed up there, just looking. Was the place he wanted to take here near or did this mean it was still a long way off? "Is this the place?" she asked. Shirley was tired, but resolute. She really didn't want to ask Senel if they could take a break. She could walk a lot further these days without getting blisters on her toes and running out of energy than she could in the past. All the traveling she'd done, both willing and unwilling, around the Legacy had really made a difference in her stamina.
"Hmm," he turned back to look at her. "There's still a ways to go. Are you hanging in there okay?" He held out his hand and she accepted the slight assistance, allowing Senel to tug her up over a few loose rocks. In one long leap she covered a distance that would've taken her several steps without him.
"Y-yes, I'm fine." That was too bad. She'd been hoping they had reached their destination. There was a chance that if they went much further, she wouldn't be able to tough it out. And wherever they went, they'd have to travel back to Werites Beacon from too. Had Senel planned this carefully enough to make sure they wouldn't run out of daylight?
Senel began to move again, walking at a slow and steady pace past Shirley, down the hill. Shirley took a deep breath, adjusted her grip on the basket, and followed him, looking down at the grass, rocks, and clover below her feet. She didn't want to slip on the way down.
Gradually she noticed that the make-up of the field beneath her was staring to change. "Hmm?" The ground had evened out. There were flowers all around her. Shirley focused her gaze higher up. Senel had stopped again and was leaning against a drooping vine of overgrown wisteria. It had reached tree-like proportions, showering its bunches of white and lilac blossoms, like fragrant grapes over a wide area of grass. "Senel?! You tricked me! This is the spot, isn't it?"
"Well, I just couldn't help myself when you didn't look down over the hill and realize it on your home," Senel laughed.
"You terrible, terrible husband!" Shirley laughed too and tossed the picnic basket haphazardly aside before throwing herself into his arms.
