Aurelias shifts his shoulder denying her the contact, she may want to lay a comforting hand on him but he didn't want one. He was consumed with only one thing and didn't want anyone intruding on his anger, he didn't wany anyone trying to dampen it. "Your condolences are appreciated, your apology accepted." He says as he waits for her to return to her bedroll and go to sleep. Damn he was too soft, he really was. The world was a cruel place and here he was being nice to someone.

"Very well," she said in regards to the touch to the shoulder, then nodded to his acceptance of words... She lay on her side and fell asleep almost immediately. Unfortunately, a rather nasty nightmare woke her up within five hours. To try and clear her thoughts, she decided to take a swim. Hayan set a few noise traps, making sure to stay close to them... She figured that he would not follow her, so she stripped and left her clothing on the shore, though she would make certain to be wary.

Aurelias slept oddly, mostly taking quick little cat naps and waking up sporadically all through the night. He notices that she has left but not where she's gone until he hears the splashing. Getting up he moves as silent as a great cat to the lake and finds where she left her clothes, he doesn't look at her instead seeing if he can get away with stealing a sock and bringing it back to camp without her seeing. If she misses him in the dark he would leave it on her bedroll before settling back down a pointed lesson about taking off at night.

She noticed alright... She was close enough to the shore that it would be hard not to notice when she was paying attention. "Come on in, the water is fine," she said with her brow raised and an amused gleam in her eye. "Spare me any lecture you might have for this, please. I just needed to soak to ease my muscles so I can keep up with you."
With that, she stood up, knowing full well he was not looking, pulled on her tunic and padded back to camp with the rest of her clothes under an arm.

"Could have done this when there was light out." He says simply, but he doesn't launch into a full lecture. Is she didn't want to hear it he'd respect that. It should be noted that just because he didn't ogle her didn't mean he didn't look at all, he did look up when she stepped from the lake and made no bones about taking in the sight of her body before turning away again to give her privacy. He wasn't a blushing school boy or a knave, but he was a man and he was comfortable enough to look without feeling awkward or making it awkward for her. Before she can dress he takes off back to camp and settles back in without a word.

She actually did not care if he looked. She was no virgin. She was indifferent to what happened between a man and a woman, though she did have her urges. She was pretty easy on the eyes, curvy in the right places, though mostly fit.
If he did look, she would not blush, she would lift a brow his way. "Perhaps, but I couldn't sleep. I took precautions though, noise traps are pretty handy things." That was stated without an argumentative tone. She settled across from him, wringing her hair out and returning the favor of the once over through lowered lashes, contemplated briefly what would happen if she offered herself, but remembered the rough way her husband treated her and shuddered.

Aurelias offers no tension and the following day follows the same pattern as the first. He leaves her to her flailing with the stick in the morning before running, doing calisthenics, and stretching before noon then walking for the rest of the day. However, unlike yesterday once their camp is set Aurelias takes off his cloak and tunic, leaving him bare-chested. He picks up his sword and heads off a fair ways from their camp and begins to practice running through simple sword forms drawing his blade through lazy graceful arcs.

She did not complain, she kept up with him no matter how sore she was, getting better through the next days. Even with using the staff, she seemed to get more fluid and less clumsy, especially in watching him. She seemed to have great aptitude for learning things, soaking up the lessons like a sponge...
She seemed more and more withdrawn as her awareness of him grew, she avoided eye contact half the time when they camped. It was bound to happen when a man and woman spent so much time together. If he so much as barked an order, she was obedient but wordless.

Calling what he did a lesson was generous, especially since sword forms didn't really translate to the staff as well as one may like. Still, she'd probably learn something even if it was just what to look out for. He didn't seem to pay any heed to her change in attitude, regardless of what it may portend. Well, he didn't dislike Hayan he didn't want any complications in his life that weren't centered around the singular goal of avenging his brother. Though sometimes in the dark private moments in the dead of night he admits that this is because he is afraid of moving on, afraid that we won't be able to change and adapt to a new way of life. By pursuing this last service he was putting off having to deal with a future where he was no longer the captain of the royal guard, but just Aurelias bastard son of a Queen and a Duke. No lands, no titles, no family. It was a truth that chased him all through the valley and soon their journey together would end.

She did not consider the sword work so much a lesson as much as the the rest of the things, but it certainly was helpful in figuring out movements a little easier. She definitely had less bruises. Hayan kept to herself for the most part, still, not wanting to complicate things as much as she was starting to feel a pull. To be honest, it frightened her to feel. She worked hard during practices and running, trying to use them as tools to keep her mind off of the pull.
She put her staff down the night she watched him with the sword, moving to the fire to cook food. This was after mimicing some movements, but it was hard to concentrate.

Aurelias wipes the sweat from his body using a rag from his pack, he'd have to boil it in water soon it was starting to smell. This done he slips his tunic back on and takes his customary lounging perch next to the fire. He was, as usual, taciturn and silent when he'd been the captain of the guard he'd been talkative but that was only to deliver caustic reprimands. Which he didn't really need to do anymore, by God he felt useless he needed to get to Swavia and back to doing something productive soon.

She had the meat cooked and offered him a skewer at some point, "Getting colder out," was her comment and it was the first thing she had said in days. "I think it may snow." Indeed, the wind that whistled through the valley was starting to get pretty icy. She wrapped her cloak more tightly around her, hoping thatthe snow was not going to be too bad.

Aurelias says nothing, it was a statement of the obvious not worth dignifying with a verbal response. However, he does pull out his spare blanket and pass it to her wordlessly. He had a proper traveling cloak and a warm blanket of his own she, by contrast, was ridiculously underprepared for this trip. "I'll keep the fire stoked tonight." He informs her as he finally picks up his food and begins to devour the meat hungrily.

"Thank you..." She said, wrapping up in that too. Her cloak was plenty warm if paired with proper clothing, but the clothes that were available to take were threadbare, and she had to patch the breeks after the attack. Hayan huddled in the fabric, as close to the fire as she dared. Indeed, the statement was obvious, for the first flakes began to drift downward...

Growling as the snow begins to fall Aurelias tosses another log on the fire to stoke it higher. Then he pulls out a tightly rolled bundle from his bag and gets to work setting up a small two person tent. "Do you have your own." He asks as the shelter takes form. Waking up covered in snow could be deadly and he wasn't going to risk it.

She emptied out her sack, fingers fumbling some as she took inventory of what she had and she sighed. "I am afraid not. I maybe able to make a tent of my habit." She quickly returned everything to the sack and sighed... "I should have packed the bag myself." And that was all there was to it,

Aurelias gives her that look that says, are you fucking stupid? "You'll sleep with me. Inappropriate maybe but better than freezing." He says not inviting discussion as he crawls inside the tent and waits for her to join him. She didn't really have a choice sitting outside was suicide or at the very least inviting frostbite.

She wanted to flail her arms and remind him she did not have time to go into details with planning. She had to go before the other nuns were hurt in the crossfire. She gave him a look that matched his in intensity that said to calm his tits. She went into the tent without argument, nevertheless. "Fine," she muttered as she settled in next to him.

Aurelias matches her look in his opinion trying to stretch a single nun habit out into a tent was stupid, no matter what her matching glare tried to imply otherwise. Once she is inside he does up the flaps, rolls himself in his blankets, turns his back to her, and drifts off. There was nothing more that needed to be said on the matter so far as he was concerned.

Hey, there was a lot of fabric in a nun habit! At least hers. But anyway, she had her back to him too, not saying a word. She stayed on her side of the tent, quiet as a mouse for a time... But as the night wore on and it got even colder, she wriggled herself against him in her sleep until their backs touched and body heat could be shared.
