~~~~~~ Dalia looked at Sihtric and immediately darkened her gaze! He didn't know what he did, to upset her, but decided to not ask it any further either! At some point Gisela came walking into the great hall and she had Uhtred's and her children with her! Dalia immediately turned at the sound of a voice, talking about her hair! Her eyes soon locked eyes with a little girl, who barely could see the top of the table! ~~~~~~
Gisela:"Hello Dalia! How nice that you accepted Uhtred's invitation!...(*Dalia stood up to greet Gisela*)...did the boys give you a good welcome?" Dalia:(*nodded whilst laughing*)"I can't complain!...(*Gisela laughed as well*)...Coccham is really beautiful!" Uhtred:"Wait until you see the lake!...(*Dalia turned her head*)...Sihtric, would you like to show Dalia the lake?" Sihtric:(*smirked*)"If she promises not to drown me in it, then yes!...(*he looked at Dalia*)...do you promise?" Dalia:"I will do my best not to drown you, Sihtric!...(*he slightly laughed*)...see you later friends!"
~~~~~~ Dalia and Sihtric stood up and left the great hall! Uhtred and Finan looked at one another and burst out laughing! They loved teasing Sihtric because they knew, that Dalia liked him! And now that Sihtric was married, Dalia distanced from him! Sihtric didn't understand and lived happily with his wife! Osferth and Gisela shook their heads before they also left the great hall! Once Sihtric and Dalia reached the lake, her eyes immediately widened and she happily turned to Sihtric... ~~~~~~
Dalia:"Oh my God, Sihtric, this is beautiful!...(*Sihtric smiled*)...are you often here at the lake?" Sihtric:(*nodded*)"If Uhtred allows it and I have nothing else to do, I allow my soul to take time out and come here!...(*Dalia sat down on the jetty*)...do you want to put your feet in the water?" Dalia:"I think I might like that!...(*Sihtric laughed*)...are there any battles ahead?" Sihtric:(*shrugged his shoulders*)"I won't know until I find myself in the middle of a battle!...(*Dalia laughed*)...are you comfortable here in Coccham?" Dalia:"Yes, but only because you guys are such great company!...(*Sihtric proudly smiled*)...however, I have to go back to Aylesbury soon!"
~~~~~~ Sihtric shot her a sad look and after a few more minutes, they stood up and walked back to the great hall! Dalia said her goodbyes and then she rode off towards Aylesbury! Finan and Uhtred nudged Sihtric's side and began teasing him...he just rolled his eyes at his two best friends! ~~~~~~
Finan:"You like her, admit it!...(*Sihtric turned his head*)...if you deny it, it won't get any better!" Sihtric:(*rolled his eyes*)"Finan, I'm married!...(*Finan tilted his head*)...even if I liked Dalia, I could never leave my wife!" Uhtred:"Didn't you see the way Dalia looked at you before she found out you were married?...(*Sihtric shook his head*)...are you blind or just stupid?" Finan:(*giggled*)"He is blinded by love! And I'm not talking about his wife!...(*Sihtric kicked Finan*)...I knew it!" Osferth:"You are mean, I hope you know that!...(*Finan turned to Osferth*)...Sihtric should not have to choose between the two of them! If he loves one more than the other, time will tell!" Sihtric:(*sighed*)"How many times do I have to tell you: I don't love Dalia!...(*Osferth went quiet*)...and I won't have to choose between the two of them, because I would choose my wife every time!"
