The day seemed to drag slowly as Gabriella found herself trying to preoccupy her time. Since training, she had taken to supporting the children in their studies as they whined about wanting to play. As the children looked to her for support, She couldn't help but to want to whisk them away. But as she grinned at the thought, Gabriella eyes met with the eyes of Miss Medina, their teacher wishing for her help in keeping them in check and she found herself wilfully agreeing.
She understood their feelings though, they had only a few more weeks of snow and the last thing they would want to do is stay indoors. Tapping her fingers against her chin and finding herself glancing out the window while the children quietly read, Gabriella is snapped out of her thoughts when the door opens with a loud creak.
Turning towards the door, Gabriella smiles as she focuses on Druig who was stood warmly against the light slipping in between his silhouette. Watching the children rush towards him with excitement, Druig simply smiles as they begin to question him curiously.
"Children please," Miss Medina calls out loudly standing slowly, "Leave Sir Druig alone and return to your seats."
"Rosa," Druig says coolly with a smile, "there is no need to call me Sir."
"Well Sir Druig," Miss Medina responds back as the children found their seats, "I prefer to be polite so I will continue to use it as such."
Druig simply chuckles before looking towards Gabriella and rolling his eyes mockingly, before giving her a short wink as she giggles quietly. Straightening his coat, Druig bows slowly before moving towards Gabriella and placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Ros-Miss Medina," Druig says giving a light squeeze to Gabriella's shoulder, "I need to steal Gabriella away, I hope you don't mind."
Feeling herself turn back towards Miss Medina, Gabriella waits for permission to leave before watching her nod with a small smile. Pushing her way from the desk, Gabriella apologies to the children and Miss Medina before spinning around to follow Druig into the clearing.
Watching Druig slow his walk, Gabriella makes her way to his side before reaching for his arm. Pulling for him to stop, she studies his response to her touch before saying anything.
"You wished to see me after dinner," Gabriella questions as she watches his reaction, "has something come up?"
