** The next morning***
*Triston's POV**
I woke up feeling a bit sore, I knew to expect that, but what I didn't expect was to see Dreama on the other side of the bed asleep. I moved to sit up which caused me to groan from the pain that washed over me, I closed my eyes tight as my hand moved instinctively to my wound. When that happened I heard Dreama move and wake up seeing me in pain, I felt the bed shift and felt her hand on my handpaw and her other hand moving my hair from my face and trying to sooth me. Dreama's voice was quiet, "Triston don't move I will get the healer to get more of the pain reliever for you." All I could do was nod I couldn't trust my voice because of the pain I should have known better than to try and move from where I was but seeing her laying there asleep so close to me shocked the hell out of me.
After a few moments I felt someone lifting my head and the pressure of a mug against my muzzle, I opened my mouth and took a drink. Once the liquid was gone I felt my head gently laid back down on the pillow, but then I felt cool air agains the fur on my stomach. I opened my eyes and saw an old woman removing my bandages to check my wound, I flinched some at her touch.
Dreama was on the other side of the bed again holding my handpaw gently, " I brought the healer to look at your wound to make sure that it didn't open and none of the stiches broke. Did you try sitting up Triston?" I looked to her face and sighed softly now that whatever they gave me had taken the majority of the pain away I could speak though my voice was soft. "Aye I did try sitting up, but that didn't end to well." I tried to laugh a little but that made me wince some, though it was no where near as painful as it could have been. I was relieved when the old woman said I was alright and nothing was undone. I heard the chamber door close and looked to Dreama again. "I am sorry I was startled to see you in the bed beside me."
**Dreama's POV**
I was worried to death to see Triston's face when I woke up, I knew he was in a tremendous amount of pain. After the healer left and I knew he was alright I was relieved. This knight was a handful, and at his comment that he was shocked to find me in his bed I chuckled some "Well you are in my bed where else am I supposed to sleep, and before you say another word you are going to be stayin in this bed until the healer says it's alright for you to get up and out of the bed."
Triston looked up at me and nodded, "Alright Dreama, how can I argue with the lady of the castle." I laughed softly at that I knew that my heart was just given to a man who I had just met the day before, and that the king for once in his reign might have actually done something right. I now have a knight who is honorable, strong and caring that will be by my side. "Triston you know that is very true and I also wanted to thank you for your help yesterday against thoe bandits, if it wasn't for you then I don't know what would have happened in that battle you really did prove your point that you ment buisness."
He nodded some and smiled softly, "Milady I wouldn't have been any kind of knight if I let my betrothed go off into a fight without being there to protect her, and besides it was my honor to help you with this fight I want to help these people seeing as they are my people as well now." I nodded and leaned down and kisses his cheek, if I didn't know I could have sworn I saw a blush on his cheeks under his fur.
