Alexis's pov

"I've gotta go get final x-rays for my foot" I announced as Henry started eating

"Fine when should you return?" He didn't give a single shit I knew that as long as food was in his sights nothing mattered

"A few hours it's a bit of a drive" I hummed using my fork to take small reasonable bites of the casserole

"Mm" he grunted using a hand to scoop more food

I looked away thankfully he finished quickly even with his 2 refills I stood up after him and sighed he walked into the kitchen

I walked out Harry following behind obediently I went up grabbing a pre-filled duffel bag "I'll carry that my Queen" Harry offered I passed it to him

I stepped outside someone had informed my driver I was trying to leave so the car was pulled up and waiting "Harry will be driving me" I told the driver he bowed and walked off  I walked around and got in the passenger Harry got in the drivers setting the bag in back

We started driving "where are you headed Majesty?" I turned making sure the driver had left as we passed the gate I turned and looked at him

"Outer city limits" I hummed

"Majesty that's very dangerous those are the slums I don't know if I'm fully capable of protecting you on my own" Harry's voice sounded very worried and his face looked severely concerned

"I've been doing this for years those people would never think about hurting me but I have been absent longer than usual" I watched the greens and vibrant flowers flow into the grey and blue of the city

"w-what's going on?" He asked he didn't sound confident in me and he glanced at me worry still creasing his brow

"I do wellness checks I bring food, simple medications, shelters, blankets, and some toys for the children" I shrugged

"Mmm" he hummed "I'm happy you do that but I wish you'd give me warnings I would have prepared better for potential dangers"

"Sure next time you'll know" I nodded

"How long does it take to get there? I've never actually gone" he asked peeking at me

"About an hour with high speed" I shrugged "you can speed up the roads are always clear after we reach the farm land fencing"

We reached the barbe wire fencing and the car jolted from 80 miles per hour to 140

"Harry?" He raised an eyebrow

"Have you ever been in a serious relationship?" I asked

"N-no I've dated 3 times though" he shook his head it actually made me feel better to know Harry actually was forth coming with information

But... now I had another question "What are we?" I asked

He clutched the wheel and bit his lip "uhh I-I... I don't know... you know I'm not good with... words" he was obviously nervous

I'd let him off the hook for now

We started slowing as we saw slums "go slow" we saw people I told Harry to pull over and I grabbed the duffle bag he got out and stood next to me but not the normal respective distance his chest was against the back of my arm
