    He answered with a breathy chuckle and it made my heart stir whilst I was brought to a set of stairs  that led to the peak near the top of the rocks. After climbing the steps, what lay in front of me caught me by surprise.  Placed on the rock was a long mat made of soft, thickly woven fleece scattered with petals from very brilliant red gladiolus flowers, small platters and bowls of roasted/smoked meat, fruits, nuts, sweet potatoes, and chocolate. Finally a medium sized vessel of freshly fermented  Octli (now known as Pulque , which is like a cider). All of this, topped with the glorious site of the sunset disappearing into dusk before my very eyes, left me speechless. I look to Kars sheepishly, trying to form a coherent sentence.

    "This...is  truly exquisite Lord Kars, thank you." He helps me situate myself onto the mat, minding my fabrics and preventing any mishaps with my outfit. He sits beside me close enough to graze my side with his muscular arm and grabs a platter of smoked turkey and rabbit( sorry for the vegans and non-rabbit eaters) going in for a savory bite. " Care to try some my lovely servant?" I gulped at the mischief that lies within those ruby orbs. " Why yes. I-I'd love to my lord." He snakes an arm around my waist and comes closer with some turkey in the other hand, guiding it to my mouth. "Open wide then." I squirmed but opened my mouth and closed it over the meat, feeling the ghostly touch of his fingers against my plump lips as he pulls away. I chewed and swallowed it successfully with out choking from my ever growing  embarrassment for the intimacy that was so clearly displayed in his actions. Gathering a bit of courage, I reciprocated his actions as i fed him and vice versa. Then we took a few sips of the deliciously sweet cider.  We moved from the peak of the rocks back to the shore below, walking quietly beside each other in comfortable silence. The moon was a crescent, positioned high in the sky  accompanied by a gathering of clouds as it illuminated the soft white sand. Kars took a seat into the sand while I sat soon after. We looked out towards the sea, the sound of the gentle cascading waves, the sky scattered with trillions upon trillions of stars.  It was breathtaking...and peaceful.

   I look over to Kars to find his gaze still glued to the stars. There was a statuesque quality about him. He was like the depictions of the gods you would read about in mythology. To be admired and feared at the same time is what makes  him a leader I suppose... " Having fun soaking in my presence y/n?" I scoffed. " You know very well that it is not polite to stare." He continued while raising a brow, and the smug look was back again. I cough and turn away from him after my intense staring session. Changing the subject, I respond. "Tonight has been enjoyable my lord..." He places his hand on the small of my back, seeing my faint blush. Then he moves his gaze to my soft curves, and glittering irises in the moonlight that he would familiarize himself with for days. " It will be a memorable one indeed my dear, but it all comes down to your decision to accept my hand in the end." He said knowingly. I chewed my lip and looked down at my hands wondering. He hummed and spoke again. " All will be made known at the end of the last courting attempt." He stood up and brought a hand out to me which I took thankfully while he pulled me up to stand too. "Time for us to head back, there will be much to think about in the meantime." We walked back to the rocks again to find our animals. Pride kept to himself as he remained stationary by the rocks. Dimas was a bit further, laying under some palm trees awaiting our return. What would happen to the setup on the rocks..? I do not know dear reader. However, we mounted the two and headed back to the temple. The others must have already retired already, except for Wammu who waited patiently for Pride to be taken back with him to rest.  Kars bid me goodnight, and i returned the formalities, Dimas and I go to our room where I change into my sleepwear, thinking about the event that took place tonight. Dimas was already asleep, so I crawled into the bed beside him while stroking his soft fur and cooing at his soft snoring then fell asleep cuddled into his side.

A/N: I wish I could take the time to look at the varieties of pretty flowers, my favorite flowers are sunflowers, marigolds,roses and gladiolus. What's your favorite flowers?
