(sure that works, giving Callen time to recover from his injuries)

(exactly lol me and my big brain)

The next time they met, Callen was (almost) fully recovered and looking much better. They met once again at the castle between the two countries.

This time, they were allowed in a garden area, with guards stationed around the outskirts.

(yolo)

(sorry, i was playing roblox lol)

The destined meeting place was the garden this time, and Sera was just waiting around for Callen to arrive.

He finally did. Looking a little flustered. "Good grief, after that assassination attempt now the guards won't leave me alone for life or limb....Anyways, never got to thank you. For y'know, getting help instead of, oh, I don't know, pretending I was still in the room or something. I was..kinda expecting something like that. So, uh, thanks."

She just shrugged. " Even if I don't like you, I wouldn't just let you die. "

Callen put his hand over this heart. "Aww, you do care!" He teased mockingly. Then sobered. "Yeah, dont let Dad hear you say that, I tried convincing him with the assassin attack but hes still hell bent on the mairrage."

She sighed. " I know. And its unfair. They think that just because they were forced to marry and they just so happened to fall in love that we will. "

"Eugh...least the mairrage got postponed, that's one good thing right?"
