Maggie smiled, pleased. "So...you're enjoying this, then..?" She slid her hand down his chest towards his lap.
~~
Tyler sighed, squeezing her hand. "Thank you. She was a sweet girl, though I didn't love her."

"Very much so," he looked into her eyes and brushed the hair from her face.
~
"So? What does that matter? You could have still cared for her. I do not believe that you held no feelings for her at all," Raven said and tenderly cupped his cheek.

Maggie bit her lip, searching his eyes. "We...we could go to my chambers...if you'd like..."
~~
Tyler sighed again, turning his face to kiss her palm. "She was a sweet girl and a good wife. She knew I didn't love her, but still did the things a good wife should. It saddened me when she fell ill, and when she died..." he cleared his throat. "She was young. Too young."

Tristan wanted to take her up on that offer, but for once kept himself in control. "Not tonight, my lady." He whispered to her. "It should not be this way."
~
Raven nodded in understanding, "yes...she was." she agreed with him and then tenderly pressed a kiss to his cheek.

Maggie stared at him, surprised. "I...I just thought..." she looked down, feeling rejected. "Oh." She moved to get off his lap.
~~
Tyler wrapped his arms around her, holding her. His voice was quiet. "I will be better to you than I ever was to her. I've learned, Raven. I swear it."

"Wait now, I did not mean to offend you. I just don't think it would be right of me. If you'd asked me three years ago when I was still a foolish boy I would have said yes." He smiled sadly at her, "I won't do that to you."
~
"I know you will be good to me otherwise I will never speak to you again...I know how you can't abide silence." She grinned at her. "Stop worrying so." She gave his hand a squeeze.

Maggie stood in front of him, looking down at the ground. "I'm inviting you into my bed because I want to, Tristan. You needn't feel guilty." She blushed, feling foolish.
~~
Tyler smirked, kissing her forehead. "I do hate silence."
((We can skip until after the wdding if you want to))

"I know that, yet I also think you have no idea what you're truly giving up to me. Think on this, please." He said with a sigh.
~
"Oh I know, I could torture you for days," Raven said with a grin and then laughed. "Come on," she tugged on his hand, pulling him behind her.
(Sure you have an idea?)

"I know what I'm offering, Tristan. And I kno that I want to." She lifted her eyes to him. "If you tell me you don't want me, I'll understand and we'll never speak of this again."
~~
((Kinda, I just think this would be amusing...))
The wedding came and went without a hitch, even if Tyler had lingered on her lips a little longer than the deacon preferred at the 'you may ksis your bride' part.
Now they were at the banquet, where Tyler sat drinking wine and laughing heartily. The custom was that all the other men asked the new husband permission to dance with the bride. He'd said yes to each and everyone of them, just to enjoy the sight of Raven having to dance and play nice.

"It isn't that I don't want you it's that I would feel terrible taking your maidenhood." He said with a sigh.
~
Raven was currently playfully glaring at her husband as she danced with Lord Rickard who was born with two left feet...althought he did provide amusing conversation. She laughed at a jok he whispered into her ear.
She was sure half the lords and ladies in the castle had shocked expressions on their faces from seeing her laugh so brazenly, but she didn't care.
"I think my husband finds it amusing that I must dance with every lord in attendance,"
"Of course he does, it will be the only time he will ever again be able to get you to do something against your will my lady." Lord Rickard said to her and she laughed again.

Maggie arched a curious brow at him. "You've taken the maidenhood of countless girls, but you feel guilty over taking mine? I'm not sure whether to be flattered or insulted."
~~
Tyler watched her dance, watched her laugh, watched the way her hair shone in the light of the lamps and candles. He stood up, striding over, taping Lord Rickard on the shoulder.
"Pardon me, my lord, but if it wouldn't be too much trouble, I'd like to dance with my bride."
Lord Rickard laughed merrily, clapping him on the back. "Of course, of course!" He kissed Raven's knuckles, sending her a cheery wink. "M'lady." And left them to themselves.

"You should be flattered," he said with a laugh. "Don't be angry with me."
~
Raven smiled up at him brightly. She curled her fingers into his and rested a hand upon his shoulder.
"I was wondering when you would come and claim me," she said into his ear. She couldn't help it, she was all smiles tonight and she knew her cheeks were flushed, but she didn't care one bit.

She sighed. "I'm not angry, Tristan. If anything, I'm embarrassed." She bit her lip, looking up at him through her lashes. "I threw myself at you, and I apologize."
~~
He pressed a kiss to the spot where her jaw and neck met, murmuring. "I have every intention of claiming you, Raven..." He'd been aching for her since seeing her in that tree yesterday, and was looking forward to sharing his marriage bed with her.

"Don't be embarrassed," Tristan said with a small smile. "If you'd done this three years ago I probably would have carried you off behind a treet and had my way with you."
~
Raven laughed, "Oh I don't doubt it," she looked up into his eyes, a soft smile on her lips.

She gave a pleasant little shiver at the thought of being taken that way, and she nearly pouted that he wouldn't be doing such a thing. "Well, then it seems I have terrible timing."
~~
He smiled back at her, hand splaying across the small of her back. "You look beautiful tonight, Raven." He danced her around the floor, holding her close.
