       | LADY AELSWITH RUSHED INTO THE COURTYARD, her dress dragged along at the dirt without a care in the world. She frantically glanced in every direction for both Beocca and Finan, yet while still maintaining her princess composure.

She was still booming with the overall excitement of Viserya being alive but after what she learned in the hallway, her levels of anxiety were higher than ever. And to top that off, Judith had been acting very strange lately, more distance from her. Not Talking as much. And the man she had given her a heart to and loved, hid away.

She had not seen Finan for two days after Viserya fell ill, he retracted back into himself and hid away from everyone. Even Sihtric couldn't get him to leave the comforts of the inn. Then again both of the queen's guards were heavily affected by her sudden fall, she wasnt just their queen but a sister as well.

The people happily greeted her, each with a different tone as she walked pass, but Aelswith simply nodded for she was on a mission. She hadn't walked the streets of Wessex in awhile and so, she couldn't quite remember where the inn was or the fact that there was even one. But when all else felt like it was melting away, a voice popped up from behind her.

" Hello love.... What are you doing out here?" The familiar voice boomed with that all too familiar Irish accent. He quietly rose up from his seat and took a few steps towards her. Elsewith turned and smiled upon seeing Finan, however he had a dark and cold expression to his face—one she had not seen of him before.

She starting wondering if it were something she did, staring back before she could slightly pick out the little grin that was starting to form at the covers of his mouth.

" Oh just come here!" He said while opening his arms out wide to greet Aelswith with a bear hug—which she happily accepted, happy to see he was out and was back to his normal routines.

" I propose you've heard about Viserya being alive and well?" Aelswith whispered into his ear. She could feel the tenseness of Finan's body start to melt away into a loud rumble of relief as it rushed through his body. " Oh thank the lord!" His voice carried throughout the yard, causing most of the people to stop and look at him. Without pausing or even saying anything, Finan grabbed Aelswith's hands into his and began to lead the way.

Aelswith however, stopped and tugged him right back. She feared of what he was going to tell Viserya and she feared of what she do retaliation. Finan looksd back to her confused, " We must tell her, she's my friend." Finan explained with a sadden tone and of course he was using the puppy eyes on her. Elsewith sighed and got closer to him, glancing around anxiously before taking his hand into hers,

" Finan, I-don't think I can tell her about.... about us or even the baby. I don't know if it's really yours or ." Finan placed his hand on her cheek and brought her even closer to him just to the point of snuggling her close to his chest. " You don't know Viserya like I do, she has a good heart, a good person. she'll understand." Aelswith took a step back from, exhaling heavily as she glanced to her rather big belly bump.
