When our eyes met

Chapter XXII The Fall of Brightmoon

The lovers would remain close and always together for the next few days. Catra was taking care of her paperwork from her own land and the servants who worked there for her. The maids would take care of the children when Adora nor Catra could give them what they needed. Queen Angella did as she said to the blonde one. She gave her the opportunity to train the new soldiers. They would obviously be in the front lines and most likely the ones who would die first if anything happened.

Adora was out training them a few weeks after that first incident with the flashes of the battlefield. She was sparring with one of them. The most talented of the group so far. He was showing the most potential and she was using him to show the others some moves before letting him try it out on her. He.. Royally fucked up, making it easy for her to disarm, and 'kill' him as she knocked him down on the ground "What the hell was that?! Sadon you're better than that! How did you fuck that up so badly, huh? I-.." She stopped, realising what she was saying and paused, offering her hand to help him up "I'm... Sorry. I shouldn't have gotten so upset. It took me a few weeks to master. You did better than I did. You show a lot of potential, kid. Just dont be stupid okay?"

The queen happened to walk by. Adora was trying to make things right so she just looked at her and crossed her arms over her chest while observing her. She could feel that she was kind of.. anxious because her sword was still missing and it was... a rather powerful weapon.

Adora noticed the Queen, nodding at her before going back to training with them, though it wasn't long before she snapped again. She chews him out for not following orders now. She had to reel herself back in though she was clearly getting frustrated partially because she knew she shouldn't be getting so upset over these mistakes. They were easy mistakes to make and ones she had made countless times in her training.

Angella was still there to see how this was going but furrowed her eyebrows and approached her only to place a hand on her shoulder when she felt that she was ready to burst out again on her. "Adora. Is something wrong?" She spoke steadily and calmly, making the other pause a moment before just shaking her head

"No. I'm just.. I don't know. I'm getting frustrated. Maybe I should take a break for the day.." She sighed, looking over the recruits. "Spar amongst yourselves if you would like. The lesson is over for today."

"okay... Go. I know teaching is difficult and must be intense but don't overdo it.." She looked down at her and turned her head away to give her some time for herself "I heard princess Catra wanted to see you" She was obviously lying but she and Catra had a conversation about how Adora was really off these days.. and she thought she could calm her down. She was usually too tense, lost to her thoughts even.

Adora paused before nodding "Right. Thank you, your majesty. Now.. If you'll excuse me." She bowed deeply before leaving the room, looking for her wife. When she found her she walked over and hugged her, nuzzling into her with a mumble "I'm getting angry more often.. I don't know what's wrong with me... I had to stop training because I kept snapping at the recruits..."

The feline was currently laying in her king-size bed and resting while reading a book. She noticed the woman walking up to her and nuzzling, making her let out a small chuckle "It's okay... Maybe it's because of the war...or because you don't have your sword.. but I bet they will find it, love" She hummed, cupping her head and brushing her hair with her fingers while guiding her head to rest on her breast. "Why did you snap at them now though?"

She relaxed against her, closing her eyes and hugging her close, letting her wife soothe her now "They.. Made mistakes.. Simple ones. Ones I've made hundreds of times... And.. Part of that frustration and anger was because I knew I shouldn't be getting upset... I feel wrong..." She curled up into her, hiding her face now and hugging her tightly. Of course she was careful not to hurt her.
