As she talked his eyes snapped open full of confusion as he pulled back and found her troubled gaze. The quiver in her voice made his own heart hurt in response. His tender gaze held hers in with all of the affection he held for her. Adria.. You must know I did not show up to receive anything in return, but simply to stand beside you and Ishcia. You do not owe me anything. he closed his eyes softly again as he stroked his muzzled down her tender cheek. You could be a million miles away and I would still be there for you, expecting nothing in return. Not a moment has passed that I haven't dreamt of seeing you again, my love. his breath rolled off her cheek carrying his faithful words to her velvety ears as he leaned into her, not wanting to forget her once this moment passed.

If the world becomes to much, you know you will always have a place beside me.. always. his voice had grown heavy, heated with passion and love. The vermillion mare had been and was the only woman to effect Jakub in such away, where his life was ruled by politics and duty she turned this black knight into a hopeless, unsteady romantic. Never knowing just exactly what she wanted from him.
JAKUB
and out he came, holding his brothers heel
