"Shall we rest for a while on the terrace, My Queen?"
It was Calix who eventually reminded Kel of her original goal.
"You seem suspiciously polite," Kel frowned. "But let's go."
Calix took her arm in his and led her to the very terrace she'd been eyeing earlier. Their approach alone was enough to send all the other occupants running back into the hall with bows and apologies.
"Suspiciously polite?" Calix echoed Kel's earlier words as he pulled the curtains shut, shielding them from the rest of the hall.
Kel watched him with an eyebrow raised before turning away with a sigh.
"Usually, you only speak like that when you're angry with me," she explained, "but now I think you have a very specific goal in mind."
"Can't a man want to watch a beautiful view alone with the woman he loves?" Calix pouted, strolling up behind her as she leaned on the railing.
".. it is a beautiful view," Kel replied softly.
