Caught by the Tale

(grrr, wanted to take a shower but they turned off the hot water till midnight)

Staring at whaaaaat?
Heheh.
Kanata slipped on the clothes quickly with a "Thanks" before hopping up on the sill.
"Ready to go? Mirari can break us out of the stables if we can make it there.
You know the way from here, right?"
Cause Kana, once outside of the castle, was pretty darn lost.
 
(Well...That was like an eff you from the world.)

"I know this castle like the back of my hand."
...Just doesn't know how they get down using the slide.
Actually, he was pretty scared to go down-
That or the cake didn't like his stomach.
"...Uh...Right, after you."
I hope I don't puke...
 
Kanata chuckled and grabbed Ajax up in his arms.
"Ladies first?"
Then he was jumping out and sliding down the huge frozen slope.
It was a bit exhilarating and definitely throw-up worthy.
The landing wasn't planned very much so they slammed into a mound of snow about thirty feet below.
At least it was a slide and not a fall?

Oh well.
To the stables! Lead the way hurling Ajax!
 
Oh, he wasn't hurling-
More like hurting.
Blasted landing tweaked his arm and made him yelp.
But it was too soon to give themselves away.
Trying to ignore the pain, he pointed out the way to the stables.
It was just around the castle!

But they must more quickly!
Who knows if anyone heard them...or even saw them!
 
True.
Kanata had Ajax back in his arms and was running, surprisingly fast...
Oh wait.
No he wasn't.
He was skiing on the ice under his shoes.
Well...that was kinda nifty.
It got them to the stables in about two minutes and right up to Mirari's stall.
The horse had already kicked the door off its hinges and was standing there ready for them.
With a quick toss Ajax was up on the horse.
Before Kana got up he tossed the other a blanket, then grabbed one for himself before swinging in behind him and grabbing the main.
"HYAH!!!"
Time for a gallop!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand their off!
 
Yeah, blanket will be nice.
Seeing how Ajax was smaller, he could just wrap it around himself and voila!
Cargo disguise!
Now...
Where are they going?
The sooner the horse stops, the sooner Ajax can see how bad his arm was tweak.
He was slightly wishing he had gone through with the force fix...
Then he wouldn't be so gimpy!
Aaaaaand that's it.
 
Mirari stopped about eight miles down stream near a small town called Rebraska.
It was just a trading town and royalty never usually visited.
Thus, safe.
For now at least.
Kanata tied Mira outside an inn, rather certain if anyone tried to steal the horse they'd get kicked to death.
Then he went inside and got them a room for the night that was vastly approaching.
The blankets were left on Mirari but there were a bunch in the inn room.
 
Ajax felt like he stood out too much in this place.
So he had taken off the kilt and ruffled up his hair.
There...Now he didn't stand out.
And neither did Kanata-
Must be lack of facial hair...
That or something else...
I dunno.
 
Something else?
He was an outdoors kid normally so eh.
He fit in just about anywhere.
Er.
Opening the door to their room Kana noticed only one bed.
"Um...I can sleep on the floor, no problem."
He walked into the room and stretched a bit.
"You want first bath?"
 
Ajax declined taking first bath-
He already had one today, so he was fine.
"You can have first bath.
I need to check my arm...Tweaked it a bit when we hit the snow pile."
News about that-
No one heard them, and his arm is fine.
Just needs some more stiff cloth or whatever to keep it still.
 
Kana went over to look at it.
Noticing the cloth loose he took the kilt Ajax took off and tore it into strips, then rewrapped the entire arm.
"There, better?"
The young man gave a quick smile before turning towards the tiny bathroom and tossing his clothes.
Yay, bath!
Kana is gonna go enjoy that now.

CAUSE I CANT!!!
 
Ajax nodded that the extra wrappings made his arm feel a bit better.
Still hurt...
But hey, things get worse before they get better.
He should know that by now...
And deja fucking vu-
Didn't something like this happen before...?

Them in the same room and Kanata going off to bath...? Weird...
 
Well, true on the deja vu but still.
Ajax wasn't currently an ice sculpture so not one hundred percent yet?
Anyways, Kanata relaxed into the hot water with a sigh.
"Feel free to order some food if you like.
There's money in my trousers pocket."
 
"Ah...For you...?"
He wasn't hungry-
Cake was expanding in his belly so no room for food.
Heh...it's what he gets for letting his father request sponge cake.
Wait...Crap, they're still married... Just going to not mention it...
 
"Yeah, please. I didn't eat anything at the party."
Aka, he was hungry.
And no he wasn't gonna mention the wedding.
He knew Ajax didn't like him that way so he would just keep his distance from that subject.
"I'll be out in a few minutes."
 
"O-okay."
Well, like a good boy, he ordered food for Kanata.
Just some pulled pork, baked potatoes, and those green beans that he had seen the other eat this morning.
Ajax is a good boy, yes?
And now he was sitting on the foot of the bed, hugging his knees. He never ran away from home before...
 
Kanata walked out a few minutes later, smelling that the food had arrived.
"God, that smells amazing for inn food."
He had a towel wrapped around his waist as he went and took the tray, then sat down on the bed to start eating.
Figured he could get dressed once he was done.
"You sure you don't want any? It's amazing."
 
"I'm sure..." Ajax said quietly.
He wasn't hungry. Just...in a thinking mood.
Currently he was thinking about what was going to happen next.
Were they going to rest here for the night then go their separate ways?
Or was one going to kill the other just to say 'ha! I killed you and now I am a war hero!'
...No, that's something Makari would do.
 
Once Kana finished his meal he stretched and yawned, then slid onto the floor with a small blanket.
"Good night prince Ajax."
Yup, he intended to just leave it at that.
End the day with some good sleep.
He wasn't worried about tomorrow right now, just that he could spend a bit more time with his friend.
 
Friend / husband.
Ajax stared at Kana for a while...
But then curled up like a cat on the foot of the bed, his arm jutting out so he wouldn't harm it.
Guess there was nothing to do now...
But sleep until the morning.
