[color=6ecff6]“But I feel a lot better now!”[/color] Chalsea replied in almost childish like stubborness, from desire to stay with Adalia, and put her willpower into play as much as she can to get some additional strength into her wobbly legs. Which proved some results to her great joy. What was even better for her mood and overall condition was when the queen helped her stand up.

 When their bodies touched, the mercenary's eyes slightly twitched in surprise as she didn't except Adalia to help her up as she did, not she expected them to be so close to one another like that. It was not bad by any means! In fact it was great and the blond woman couldn't help, but feel great about it and her decision to force herself into moving again so soon after coming back to consciousness. If she didn't do that, maybe right now she wouldn't be with Adalia like she was right now![color=6ecff6]” I will be grateful for something to eat, alright.”[/color] She replied when the other woman proposed they go down to get breakfast. Aside the thirst she felt, Chalsea also felt incredibly hungry, which was not a surprise considering the amount of energy her body had used up since she fell with the sickness. She needed to recuperate for quite a while if she was to get better and to her feet again, but the changes in her body were just starting, her blood was awakening and there was still a long way to go before everything was settled down.[color=6ecff6]” Also some water... a lot of water...” [/color]She added with a shy smile about it.[color=6ecff6]” I feel like I could drink an entire bucket of water more.”[/color]

 [color=6ecff6]“Don't worry, step bravely.”[/color] Chalsea said as she noticed how careful the other woman was while they were walking down the stairs.[color=6ecff6]” I may not be in great condition, but I'm not so bad that I cannot get down some stairs with someone's help no less.[/color]” She added with a smile, grateful that the queen was helping her with it and very happy about it.[color=6ecff6]” The worst that could happen is I roll down the stairs.”[/color] She then added with a smirk and slight giggle. She was not afraid of the fall really. She had seen worse than stairs.

 Finally they were at the living room and Adalia helped with sitting down on the couch. By this point, Chalsea already felt better and was smiling a lot, refreshed by Adalia's mere presence. She had fallen for the queen hard.[color=6ecff6]” Alright, not like I can go anywhere, you know.”[/color] The mercenary replied with a joking voice as the queen walked away to arrange for the food. 

 The mercenary captain followed Adalia's every movement with great focus, memorizing every curve, every move of the other's body. [color=6ecff6][i]'She's just so beautiful.'[/i][/color] She though, feeling herself blush. A blush that was luckily not easy to see due her loss of color in the face. Once the queen was out of the room, Chalsea took a deep breath and relaxed completely into the couch. She couldn't believe her luck, to meet a woman like that in a place like this. Their worlds should be so much apart with Adalia being a queen and Chalsea a simple mercenary's, but the queen was so different from anyone  the nomad had ever met before.  Right now she could only hope she got to spend even more time with Adalia and maybe eventually tell her how she felt. Even if her growing affection wasn't mutual, she wouldn't regret telling her.

 [color=6ecff6]“I don't know why this is happening.”[/color] Chalsea replied when the queen returned and told her about her condition[color=6ecff6].” I can't even remember clearly when it started yesterday. I only know it felt hot all of the sudden and next thing I know, I woke up upstairs all thirsty like I've wandered a desert without water for days.”[/color] She explained, reaching with shacky hand to take the cup of tea.[color=6ecff6]” Even now I feel thirsty... “[/color] She explained with quiet voice and looked at the queen.[color=6ecff6]” Look, I don't want you to take risks on my behalf, Adalia. If you are saying that you are experimenting, then it's not completely safe, right? I don't want to be responsible if something goes wrong and you get hurt. I'm fine... I'm recovering...”[/color] Was what she told, hoping it was truth.
