[D4 LE] Catching my Breath (Eastern Gardens)

[Ser Cortney Penrose]

A sudden understanding comes across Cortney, his eyes widening, the knight’s mouth falls open, just slightly, as he processes the realisation that this attractive young woman was ...interested in him.

Alicent can't help but giggle a little at his shock, the sounds sweet and not mocking. She wasn't exactly hiding her intentions. "So... what do you think?" She smiled a little more.

[Ser Cortney Penrose]

Cortney’s jaw worked for a moment, swallowing as a stirring began to awaken in his loins. She really is quite beautiful, he had to admit to himself. “Lady Alicent,” The taciturn young man just couldn’t seem to find any words tonight. Gods be good, “I must confess, m’lady, that I don’t quite know how to proceed.”

[Alicent Feyther]

The truth was, she'd never done anything light this herself, but... Well, she'd figure it out as they went. Her voice became low and soft and she shifted a little closer, "Well..." She took one of his hands and leaned forward, meeting his eyes with a smile, "First you need to confirm whether you see me as a beautiful woman now..."

[Ser Cortney Penrose]

“Lady Alicent, you are as lovely as the moonlight on the ocean waves,” he assured, stroking the back of her hand gently.

[Alicent Feyther]

She smiled warmly at that, her eyes scanning their surroundings quickly to make sure people weren't walking through the garden before returning them to his. Her fingers come up to touch his cheek. "I think afterward it's something like this..." She closed her eyes and leaned in, touching her lips to his in a soft kiss.

[Ser Cortney Penrose]

This part I understand, Cortney mused, pressing gently into the kiss. His body and mind warred against one another, to kiss a young lady in the gardens like this, unwed, if we are caught... Cortney drew back, gazing into Alicent’s violet eyes. “Perhaps I should call a guard to escort you back to your pavilion.”

[Alicent Feyther]

"I was planning to return in a moment, anyway," she said, rising and releasing his hand, though it lingers for the barest moment extra. "I do wish to speak with you again, though."

[Ser Cortney Penrose]

Cortney blinked, is this what they mean about women and their changeable moods?. Still, he was a gentleman and a knight, and even if his breeches were a little tighter than usual around the groin, his tunic covered his embarrassment. He stood, and bowed, “until next time, Lady Alicent. May the Warrior watch you and the Mother keep you.”

[Alicent Feyther]

She smiled sweetly and curtsied. "Until tomorrow, Ser Cortney. Sleep well." Truthfully, she reflected as she began to make her way away from the garden, she hoped what happened this evening disrupted his sleep a little... Or at least gave him good dreams.
