"You know, I was just thinking of the tidal pools of home last night," when I was wrapped in your arms, she mentally added.

Spying the clearing ahead, Kaliya nodded, "that sounds like a most marrvelous idea."

Your mind was wandering while we were together? Was I that bad? he thinks to himself becoming a bit insecure.

"Very good," he says as he urges Qitam to the clearing. Once they arrive, he dismounts and clicks his tongue twice, and Qitam does not move from the spot he's in. Moving to Perlera and Kaliya, he offers a hand to help her down. He doesn't think she needs it... but he's just being gentlemanly.

"I've brought strawberries, apples, cheese, bread and cider. I hope you find those agreeable," he says with a warm smile.

Kaliya would accept the hand, but she's not riding side-saddle, is it really so uncommon to want to actually ride, and not be carried along like a sack of oats? With some embarrassment, she refused the offer. Of course, there was nothing to stop him from catching her on the dismount.

He smirks at her as she throws her leg over Perlera, giving him a full view of her back half in the lovely riding dress. As her backside was presented to him, his hands moved to her waist. He easily lifted her from the stirrup and slowly lowered her in front of him, pressing his chest to her back as her feet touched the ground. "Milady," he said to her gently in her ear. His hands slowly slid to her belly and then back again, before turning her. "Let me prepare the food."

She shivered, his breath on her ear, and she was smiling as she turned to face him. "Thank you," she answered, but one hand slid up his chest, over his shoulder, her fingers pushed into his hair and her eyes locked with his.

As she held him there for that moment, he couldn't help but smile, his eyes staring into her own big, beautiful pools of brown. His hands slipped around her waist and pulled her just a bit closer. "Well, I suppose I could take a moment to stare into your eyes. And enjoy the scent that scent. It's quite pleasant. You'll have to tell me what it is after our kiss." At which point he leans in to meet her lips with his.

She twines her fingers deeper into his hair, pulling him deeper into the kiss. His body is firm against her soft, bountiful curves, and that twist of anxiety he had sprung on her earlier unravelled, I should have realised that he said hearrt, but he meant cock.

When the kiss broke she gave a little shrug, "I do not know what is in it, but it made me think of riding when I firrst trried it." Mingled with the proximity of Perlera, there is indeed something earthy about the scent, like fresh-ploughed soil after the cleansing rain.

"It does kind of remind of that," he agrees, before kissing her on the forehead. "I'll set things up."

He pulls away so that he can go to Qitam and get into the saddle bags. Pulling out the blanket he has within, a think but comfortable sheet, he moves to lay it out on the ground. After that he returns to Qitam and pulls out another cloth. He sets it in the center of the blanket and unties it revealing the food items he had listed earlier. "Breakfast is served," he says, giving her a wink.

Moving to join him, "it looks wonderrful, thank you. I had not given any thought to brringing ourr meal with us this morrning." She settled herself on the picnic blanket and tried to decide what to sample first. The strawberries were early, and may not have been as sweet as they could be, but the cheese looked good, and she helped herself to a piece.

Sitting across from her, he smiled, taking small stoppered jug and pouring a bit of cider in a pair of cups, setting one next to Kaliya. He then took the bread and broke a piece off for himself and eating a bite from that smaller piece.

"Kaliya," he says smiling a bit, but it seems a bit serious. "I want to say something and I don't want to upset or scare you off. You are a lovely woman. I have enjoyed even the small amount of time I've spent with you. And not just the activities of last evening. When we talked yesterday it was just as stimulating to me as anything else, and I was very happy to see you this morning. It brightened my day. I don't want you to think that there is only one thing I want from you, because that isn't true. I would like us to be friends. I think getting to know you in more than just in a physical sense is worth the time and effort."

Kaliya smiled politely, not so much as the flutter of an eyelid gave away the deafening cacophony of alarm bells that were ringing in her mind. Her smile was frozen, oh, oh, she lamented, Kaliya, you damned fool. Yes, you bought that innocent act completely, how could you be so blind? She didn't know what he wanted, yet, but the first little pieces were falling into place.

The Dirty Dornishman? He would have waited there all day, and all the next, until her curiosity finally got the better of her. And now she was trapped, with no choice but to play along. The slightest misstep and he would know she'd realised the game. "Davelyn, I am trruly flatterred, thank you."

"I'm glad," he says with a nod. "I..." he blushed lightly once more, "I just don't want you to think I only like you for what was an amazing experience last evening. And it was, and I'd greatly appreciate the opportunity to share such again with you in future evenings."

"I feel a bit embarrassed right now. It's odd to say things like that for me. But I am an open book if you have any questions. You need only ask. If I know the answer I'll share it. Aunt Avella always told me I have a tendency to share too easily, but I never really minded doing so."

The blush was a curious phenomenon, can he do that on demand, or is it something else?" She was beginning to sense she was outmatched in this intrigue, like a boat in a storm, the deck had suddenly pitched beneath her. She scouted for something the fill the space, "would you tell me a little of your parents?" though her suspicions that one had been a Prince or Princess seemed to have solidified with her recent revelation.

"Actually, I don't know who my parents are. Not my birth parents at least. I was raised by my aunt Avella. And by Sir Thaudrey as well. They were lovers, though they weren't married. But I don't look much like her and nothing like Sir Thaudrey so I know that they aren't them. Prince Maron insisted that I live within the palace, but I know he wasn't my father either. All that I know for sure is that he use to tell me that I was born of love and had the circumstances not been what they were I would have been a Martell," he says with a smile. "All the Martells were like uncles and aunts to me. So in a way I suppose they all potentially could have been. But I only asked uncle Maron about it the once and his answer put my mind at ease. I never really cared to ask again after that."

Kaliya sifted through his tale, wondering if it had been built on grains of truth, or if it was a fabrication cut whole from cloth. "I suppose it is all the same to the one with the bastarrd name. The last time someone made a bastarrd's parrentage matterr the Rrealms almost burrned. Perrhaps it is betterr not to know."

"I think that is likely the reason, and the reason I am glad not to know. Either I will be Sand forever, marry, or earn a name of my own someday. But I would not wish to take action that would plunge my homes into war. I would not have so much suffering on my head," he says with a nod. The mention of his own name was more of a romantic afterthought that he didn't truly believe would ever happen.

"You wish to become a Lorrd?" What if that part is true? what is he seeking from me? or does he just believe me to be malleable by virtue of our shared heritage?

"Well, no... that was just an offhand comment," he says. "I would like to earn greater respect and be valued for my talents, but I doubt I could really earn that right. Those stories are so rare an occurrence. And it usually takes more than simple skill at arms I imagine. I've never had a mind for politics. That game is a bit lost on me. Aunt Avella also told me I'm to honest for my own good as well." He chuckles at that, picturing that time she told him that some people just shouldn't be told the truth.

"I once got in trouble because a visiting lords son who was about my age claimed he was one of the best swordsmen in the realm. I didn't believe him, and after our match it turned out I was right not to believe him. And then after uncle Maron smoothed things out after the embarrassment aunt Avella gave me a stern talking to about not embarrassing people who have inflated senses of self worth. Then when I apologized and tried to compliment him on his skill, well... uncle Maron had to smooth things out again. Because I couldn't bring myself to really compliment him. He was terrible. So then aunt Avella told me that I should just keep my mouth shut if I don't have anything nice to say. So that's pretty much what I do now."

He shrugs. "I guess what I'm saying is that I'm not good at the whole speaking thing when it comes time to ameliorate. And lords usually need to be able to do so from how I understand it."

His off-the-cuff earnestness was disarming, and Kaliya felt her head begin to ache as she vacillated wildly between her suspicions and her doubts. And the warring inside her would soon become noticeable to her companion, if it hadn't already. "Lorrds must command rrespect. Forr everry Lorrd who knows the rright prretty worrds, therre arre two morre who know only how to lead thrrough brrute intimidation, and anotherr one yet who uses brriberry and deceit. You can choose the man you wish to be."

He smiled at her as he picked up a strawberry and ate it during her reply. "You may be right," he says with a more confident smile. "There are many ways to lead and command. I know the type of man I wish to be, I suppose I simply don't know how far I can go as that type of man. I would like to be able to help my lord and support him as capably as I can. And I'd like to prove that no matter a man's birth, culture or past that he can become greater than others expect him to be, at least to myself."

"But those things I hope for are also in service to the idea that the arguments between realms need not lead to war or hatred. For many years through history the people of the Stormlands and people of Dorne have been at odds. But one man gave his life for Dorne and I'd like to show that the people of our land are capable of showing the same honor. We are all very different, but we bleed the same. Your supportive words mean a lot to me. I thank you for them and your wisdom."

Kaliya peered hard at Davelyn, "is that what you trruly want? a cause to die forr?" She felt as though she were unravelling, she could not make sense of what was happening. That it may simply be the truth, given without guile, did not occur to her.

"No," he says with a soft smile. "I want a life worth living. Even if I have to suffer for it or put my life at risk. And I want friends to share it with."

Kaliya folded her hands in her lap and fixed the Dornish bastard-prince with a firm, pointed look. There was something new in her expression, something he had never seen before. Until now, she had been languid, cat-like; if anything, a little smug. Now she had a trapped, wary air about her.

"Davelyn," her voice carried an imperious tone that reminded him that she was a Lady of noble breeding and that he was bastard-born. "Why arre you telling me this?"

His smile diminishes only slightly, but it is still there and still warm. He looks at her for a moment but lowers his head seeming to look at nothing in particular... as though he were looking through the world.

"Becasue, milady, I wish you to know who I am rather than just what I am. Just as I wish to know who you are rather than just a name and a title. I wish to share with you something more than just exchanged passion. I don't know what to expect you would wish to share with me, but I know I want it to be more than heated moments of passion. I want you to be able to trust me when I speak to you. To know that my words and intentions are truth."

He looks back up to her and his smile brightens a bit. "I don't just want a lover, I'd like to have a friend too."

His smile drives Kaliya further on the defensive, smiles and sweet words belonged to the deceitful. "Trrust? You ask forr my trrust, forr my frriendship. If I am to trrust what you say, perrhaps you could begin by telling me what you want of me. In the end, it will be easierr to get what you want this way."
