Hearing about her training, Chase nodded but was a bit worried when she mentioned suitors. Though he wouldn't say anything about it, instead, he took a deep breath, smelling the surroundings and smiled, looking to Vanima. "It's good that you keep up with your training, and you must have been something to avoid him with little damage."
Hearing her question, he shrugged a bit. "I've been trying to. Can't get away from the palace enough. They always need something here from me, like training new guards, keeping security in line and the likes."

"I tried my best, but when he went after Midnight, my horse, I knew it was time to get out of there." She said, looking out at the flowers. The smell of them in bloom was almost intoxicating.
Sensing Chase worry when she mentioned suitors, Vanima chuckled and looked at Chase and placed a hand on his cheek. "Do not worry, I turned down each and everyone of them... either that or I scared them off when I could out shoot them with the bow."

Nodding a bit, Chase smiled to himself once he heard about her run in and how it went. He knew Vyran to be ruthless and merciless. For her to get away alive and with her horse was a blessing in deed. He then thought for a moment but that was interrupted by the feel of her soft hand on his cheek.
His eyes looked to her and nodded. She must have sensed something inside of him stir in an uncomfortable way at her mention of suitors. She addressed the fact and Chase nodded a bit, feeling a bit better about the situation. He then wrapped his arm around her waist as they walked through the garden, not sure exactly what to say.

Silence passed between them, and Vanima worried her lower lip. It was not as though she didn't enjoy silence, but she hoped it would not pass into an akward silence. Taking a deep breath of the floral scent, she smiled at him.
"The only suitor I will not chase away with my bow is you," She said, her hand now on his arm. "For the only fact that you could probably outshoot me with your own." She chuckled.

Hearing her words and feeling her hands on his skin calmed Chase down quite a bit. A smlie crossed his lips and he looked to her with a nod. "That is true, but you know that I do not work too much with my bow. I feel more comfortable up close and personal. With all the practicing, you migiht be able to best me with the bow."
Chase thought for a moment before pulling Vanima in a bit closer and kissing her cheek. "The beauty of this garden is only rivaled by one thing. Your beauty is much more than this garden, but it is the only thing that overshadows it."

Vanima blushed almost as red as one of the roses closest to her. She wasn't used to receiving sincere compliments. Usually they would come from men only looking to become her husband.
"Well then Chase, I shall have to teach you how to use the bow now won't I?" She teased, enjoying the idea of the role reversal. "I am sure the rest of the guards would enjoy watching a female teach a male how to fight." She grinned wickledly, kissing his cheek.

Chase noted the redness and the intensity of it within the cheeks of Vanima. A smile grew over his face after seeing it, but he didn't say anything about it. Instead they continued on with the walk until he heard her comments about training him. A laugh escaped his lips as he looked to her with a shrug. "Perhaps, or perhaps I am just a bit rusty, I haven't picked up a bow since the day that I was training you."
After his words, Chase glanced around a bit before finding a bench and sitting down, pulling Vanima along with him. "This is my favorite spot in the garden. Its hidden, but allows you to see the sky. A great place to watch the stars at night."

Vanima was pulled down to the bench and she looked around. It was indeed a very nice spot and the tree provided some nice shade for the bench.
"I can see how it would be the perfect place to sit and think, watch the stars, not to mention other such things." She giggled, brushing a piece of hair out of her face. She rested her head on his shoulder, enjoying his company.

Hearing her mention a few other things, Chase smiled bashfully and wrapped an arm around Vanima's shoulders. "A few other things could happen out here and not be noticed. But if you don't mind my curiosity, what sort of other things did you have in mind?" He glanced over to her and kissed her forehead before brushing the rest of her hair out of her face.
The moment was perfect between the both of them and it almost seemed like it couldn't get any better. Chase knew better though and expected his brother or Helena to come around the corner at any moment. They knew of his favorite spots and were never afraid of breaking his conversation whenever it came to it.

"Wouldn't you like to know what I have in mind." She grinned wickedly again. "I am sure you have the same thoughts and ideas that I do." She chuckled, looking out across the garden. The feel of Chase moving her hair made her sigh contently, glad to be with the man she loved.
Nothing could possibly ruin the moment for her. Her parents were not around, neither were her tutors or others who could bother her. Although she was sure someone would walk in on them, that was always the case. "Chase, do you remember out first kiss?" She inquired, looking up at him.

Hearing her question, Chase thought for a moment before nodding with a smile. "I vaguely remember it. Didn't your father come around the corner or something during the kiss?" Chase remembered something like that happening, if it wasn't her father it was someone else, but someone else was there and happened to ruin the mood that was going on between the two of them.
This time it was different, they had been together for a good part of the day without anyone else around to ruin the mood. He just wished that this feeling could last for at least the rest of the day and into the night when they were to come back out to the garden and watch the stars.

"It was my tutor." She chuckled, remembering the shade of red she had turned when he had walked in on them. "I still remember the look on his face, not to mention the lecture I received from him. My father just sat there and tried hard not to laugh."
"I could stay like this with you for eternity my love." She smiled, knowing that they would eventually have to move from here. For now, she wouldn't think of anything ruining this moment.

Finally, Chase nodded hearing that it was her tutor that had caught them. A slight laugh escaped his lips. That was right, it was her tutor that had interrupted them and gave her a lecture. He always wondered how her father reacted to it, but didn't feel it to be of importance to ask. Instead he would enjoy the moment.
And it had to be the same for the both of them, for Vanima said the words that Chase was thinking. Instead of saying anything, he only pulled her closer to him and kissed her lips softly but lovingly, letting his actions speak for him.

Vanima's hand brushed up against his cheek, holding him close as they shared a kiss. She shifted her body closer to him without actually sitting on his lap. Her body screamed for more, but she knew it would be rushing things too fast.
Pulling away, she blushed and looked at her feet. She hoped Chase wouldn't mind her pulling away, because she knew she would try something that may take Chase by surprise and possibly scare him away.

Feeling Vanima pull away, Chase knew that she was restraining herself from doing much more. But the question that lied in his mind was whether he would have minded or not. He then took a deep breath before looking to her and placing his hand on her cheek to gently lift up her head so that he may look into her eyes.
"Vanima, love, it's fine. I don't want you to feel the need to restrain yourself. We are loves and what I want the most is for you to be happy. Believe me, I will love anything that you wish to do." He had wanted to do a few things himself, but at the same time, he didn't want to push to much and end up pushing Vanima away.
