Lucina felt a scowl reach her lips as she bent over her food and ate her breakfast in silence. "She shouldn't have to try to be nice anyways." Lucina mumbled. "She chose to be angry with me. I'm only defending myself."
|
Adrian sighed, "I know, love. But if you keep egging her on when she acts like this, instead o' just brushing it off, she'll continue t' do it. If she thinks it doesn't bother ye, then she'll stop. Besides, ye always 'ave me t' vent to afterwards," he added with a smile as he finished his breakfast and took a sip of his milk.
|
"I can think of a better way to spend our time then me venting." Lucina mumbled to herself before finishing her own breakfast. How was she suppose to just let Lori's comments go unnoticed? The girl had obvious attitude problems and Lucina wanted nothing more then to show Lori who she really was and teach the girl how to respect her elders. Of course Adrian would never allow it.
|
Sighing, guessing her thoughts, Adrian stood and walked behind Lucina. Wrapping his arms around her waist, he placed a light kiss on her neck and whispered, "Please? Fer me? I know it'll be hard, 'n' I'll keep 'er in check as bast I can, I promise. I jus' want me two favorite girls t' get along, even if it is a wee bit forced. But, maybe in time, ye both'll learn t' get along 'n' possibly become friends."
|
Lucina smiled as she leaned into Adrian. "That kiss wasn't very convincing." Lucina teased as she turned to face Adrian and placed a hand on the side of his neck as she gave him a tender kiss.
|
Adrian smiled as he returned her kisses eagerly. "Sorry, love. Is this any bet'er?" he asked softly as he placed a long, tender kiss upon her lips.
|
Lucina smiled as her hand curled into his hair and her tongue slipped between his lips. "We'll work on it." Lucina teased, giving him a small wink before she got up from her chair and gathered their dishes before staring hesitantly at the kitchen.
|
Adrian chuckled as he placed a tender kiss upon her neck, "I look forward t' workin' on it. But before we can do tha', ye need t' get yerself int' tha' kitchen act like ye promised. Meet me out in th' barn when yer done?"
|
"Does avoiding her count as being nice?" Lucina sighed as she leaned back into Adrian. "If she says something mean can I just not talk to her at all?" She asked.
|
Adrian smiled as he placed a kiss on her cheek and wrapped his arms around her waist, "Aye, don' say anythin' unless it's kind 'n' act like it doesn' bother ye. Good luck," he whispered against her neck before placing a tender kiss upon it. After another kiss, Adrian turned and put on his boots before heading outside to the barn to start cleaning out the stalls.
|
Lucina sighed as she watched Adrian leave and made her way into the kitchen, putting their dishes in the sink quickly before leaving again. Moving to the front door, Lucina pulled the pair of tan flats she'd been wearing the day before before turning to leave for the barn as well.
|
Adrian sighed as he continued shoveling manure from the stalls and putting it into the cart to be spread along the fields. Finishing with that, he began washing each of the stalls down with buckets of water and a broom-like brush, all of the animals having been put into their fences behind the stalls for the time being.
|
Lucina skipped her way to the barn before peeking her head in the doors. "What do you need me to do?" Lucina asked, her nose wrinkling slightly at the smell of the manure and she felt a small bead of sweat running down the back of her neck. Why had she decided to make it so hot?
|
"There's a basket o' hay t' yer left with bales o' hay next to it. Put beddin' in each stall fer me as I clean them out?" Adrian called from a few stalls down.
|
"Alright." Lucina called back as she picked up the basket of hay and moved to the first stall. Lucina laid out hay evenly throughout the stall for the animal before moving to the second stall and repeating. "I can't believe you do this everyday." Lucina mumbled, half to herself. Usually her days consisted of laying about and giving servants orders. And now she was spreading hay in a barn. Karma had a horrible way of paying her back but she was happy with the fact that she still had Adrian.
|
Adrian chuckled as he finished another stall, "Well, it's not like we can afford servants 'r anythin', nor can th' animals do it themselves. I take it ye never ventured int' yer servants quarters 'n' saw just 'ow much work they did?"
|
"No, I didn't." Lucina siad, a little ashamed. She felt horrible that Adrian would realize what a brat she had been. She felt so different around him, like a different Lucina. A less spoiled one.
|
Adrian smiled warmly at her as he finished another stall, "Well, I suppose th' plus side 'bout ye goin' back after ye've been 'ere, ye'll appreciate them more, eh? Judgin' by how ye seemed when I first met ye, 'n' don' take offense, but ye didn't seem th' type t' say thank ye t' them."
|
"I wasn't." Lucina grimaced as she moved on to the third stall. "That's why I was sent here." She explained as she spread the hay evenly. "Like I said before, I didn't come here on vacation." She smiled shyly as she moved to the fourth stall.
|
Adrian chuckled as he shot her a teasing wink, "Well, it ain't too much o' a punishment, is it?"
|
"Not now anyways." Lucian blushed as she moved on to the next stall and began spreading the hay around. She felt the back of her neck beginning to warm considerably inside the barn. It has to be a hundred degrees in here... Lucina sighed as she brought her honey blond hair over her shoulder to let her neck cool.
|
Finishing the stalls, Adrian put the bucket and broom-like scrub brush away before going to he basin of water and scrubbing the scent and everything from his body. Drying off, he walked over to Lucina and placed his arms around her waist, blowing cool air onto her neck. "Yer home really is different from ours isn't it. Does it ever get hot up there?" he asked softly, his breath caressing her skin.
|
Lucina felt a small electric shock course through her body as she felt his breath on her neck. "No, the temperature is never bothersome. Except for the underworld of course." She sighed as she leaned back against Adrian's frame. "But I've only been down there once or twice." She shrugged.
|
Adrian chuckled as he placed a tender kiss upon her neck before resuming his previous actions. "Th' underworld? What ev'r made ye want t' go down there with all th' dead folk?"
|
Lucina blushed slightly as she remembered her visits to the underworld. "There's, uhm, Gods and Goddesses in the underworld as well as where I'm from." She said nervously. "I guess you could consider it my 'bad boy' phase." She joked, laughing once.
