** one week later**
**Narrator**
Time had been flying over the past week for Dreama and Triston, Triston's wound in his side was healing very well. He was begining to move about more and more but he couldn't quite take training yet with the men of the castle though, he would go and supervise. Dreama sighed softly when she heard from one of the maids that Triston was outside the castle supervising the training. "I wish that man would learn to rest, but at least he waited until his wound was closed." Dreama finished up with going over the figures with the accountent.
Once finished she left the study and goes to the training yard to see how it was going with Triston and the men working on getting ready for any sort of battle that would come there way. Dreama smiles softly seeing how he was giving orders to the men on what they were doing and what they needed to do, and how he would use a tone that was more like a father than a commander which made the men respond better to his suggestions. Dreama watches him working with a pair of the younger guard that was there, and how he would tell them how to move properly. After a few moments he showed him but without the use of blades or weapons, Dreama cringed hopeing it wouldn't hurt him doing that, and she sighed in relief when he didn't show that it hurt his wound that he had gotten a week past.
Dreama walked to Triston and smiled, "I am glad to see you enjoying yourself working with the men. It's also go to see you up and about after that injury." Triston smiled at her and nodded, "It's good to be up and about seeing how these men are working and getting very good at being able to protect our people." Dreama nodded and patted his shoulder, as she then moves between the men and also gave tips, for being a woman she knew alot more than some would give her credit. Many of the younger men would fuss with her, and then Triston would step in and show them that what Dreama was saying was true.
***Triston's POV***
It felt great to get out of that bed, and move about, but it felt even better to go outside and work with the men, I knew it was too early to training with them. They seemed very resceptive to what I was telling them about what they needed to do in order to better their tactics. I smiled seeing Dreama coming outside to the training field, she and I had gotten closed while I was laid up, she made sure that I would heal properly. When I was first ordered here I thought that I wouldn't be happy here in this place and that this would be an entrapment not a true marriage that I would be a part of.
The wedding was a week away, and I was nervious though I know it would go well for Dreama and I in the long term. Dreama then looked to me and smiled softly after we spoke she started to speak to the men and giving them tips and when I would support her knowledge the men started accepting her as knowing that she was indeed trained in battle.
I yawned some and I knew I was getting close to needing to go back inside and rest, I hadn't been at my full potential for a while and my body was worn out from healing. Dreama saw me yawn and walked over to me and touched my arm gently, "Are you getting tired Sir Triston, perhaps we should go inside so you can get some rest before dinner." I smile at her and shake my head, "No milady I am alright I want to see the rest of the training to make sure that they know all that they need to know." Dreama smiles softly and looks to him and shakes her, "Alright Sir Triston but once you are feeling any more tired please go inside and rest."
Dreama turns and walks towards the castle once again to do what she needed to get done, I smiled watching her walk back to the castle, and the captian of the guard walked over to me and smiled. "She is one of a kind and seeing you in battle doing your best to protect her in that battle. I am glad you are the one that she accepted you becaue all the others weren't giong to be good at all for her or the kingdom." Triston looked at the captian of the guard and smiled with a nod. "Thank you I am I have met your approval, and after all the horrible things the king ordered me to do, this is one thing I am actually thankful he ordered me. I believe Dreama and I will end up with more than just a partnership, but maybe an actual marriage if you know what I am trying to say." The captian of the guard nodded and smiled up at me before he left.
I then told the men they could go back to the barricks and get ready for dinner, and then I turned to walk back into the castle and sighs softly. I was sore from moving about and not being used to it for a while, but it wasn't someting that would stop me from doing what I need to do. I closed my eyes some as I moved to walk up the stairs and took a deep breath, that's when I felt a soft hand moving through the fur on my arm. I knew it was Dreama as her scent wafted into my nose. "Triston are you alright?" I could hear the worry in her voice as I then opened my eyes and smiled some at her, and nodded my head "Yes I'm alright just a bit tired and sore from the training today, I just need to get used to being able to move about again." Dreama's eyes watched mine for a few moments before she nodded and helped me walk up the rest of the stores, she helped me sit down on the bed and took off my boots for me when I tried and winced some from bending over. I think I might have over done it some. Dreama didn't say anything but had me lay down on the bed and after I laid down I fell asleep as I got comfortable.
**** Dreama's POV****
I helped Triston up the stairs after I saw him stop and take a deep breath on the stairs, I knew he was sore, but wouldn't say anything more than about it. I knew that he wouldn't want me to make a fuss so I didn't ,but when he tried to bend down to remove his boots I saw the pain on his face I just took his boots for him and helped him lay down to rest. I covered him with a blanket and left the room to make sure all was well, and then got a tray of food for Triston I knew he would be hungy, and I left it on the table in the chamber as I went to go make sure that the wedding plans were being finalized and the fititing of my dress was done.
