Tieler sighed. "Yeah, women are allowed to chose their husband. Lucky you." He shook his head, then answered her. "Azriel. I have no idea who my bride was to be. I just know that I had a week to get ready for becoming King and living with a woman I know nothing about. For all I know she could have turned against me or something. I know, I sound paranoid, but it's happened, you know. Someone marries a stranger, and next thing they know, they've been exiled from their own Kingdom somehow." He turned his head to look at her and started laughing. "Don't listen to me, I'm a paranoid old fool."

"Actually, women have no say in who they marry." She corrected, sighed softly, then giggled softly at him calling himself a fool. "You most certainly are not a paranoid old fool. That is a perfectly good reason to feel paranoid. I don't blame you for feeling that way... I feel the same way, hence why I forced my father to listen." She shrugged and laid her head back. She smiled softly as the heat from his body began to warm up the water around her now as well. "I must say, I'm liking the extra warmth." She giggled softly and looked at him. "I should've lite a few torches before getting in here..."

He glanced over at her. "Can't see?" he teased. He pulled himself out of the hot spring, glancing around to find all of them. The air was cold on his wet skin, and he didn't really want to get out. But she wanted the torches lit, so he was going to light them. He warmed his body and went around lighting the torches. He simply balled one of his hands into a fist, concentrated on his thermal energy until a flame ignited in his palm and his markings glowed. Then went around placing his palm a few inches over the torches to light them. Once they were all lit, he hurried back to the water and reclaimed his place beside her. Once again, he added a little more warmth to the water. "Better?" he asked, grinning at her.

Aurina smiled softly and looked at his faded marks. "Yes, much better... Now I can look into the face of a very handsome man that I have the pleasure of sitting next to." She stated and inched a little closer for the warmer water. "You're kind of lucky.. to actually have an element worth having." She commented, but frowned softly. "I always found fire or water were good elements... I can't do much with mine..." She laughed quietly.

Tieler didn't know what to say, or do. He just sat there and listened. "It's not all that great. I mean, being a Fire Elemental. It takes a great deal of focus and control. It can get pretty tiresome at times. And the intense training my father put me through. I don't know, maybe it's not like that for everyone, but it took me a long time to gain complete control of my Element." He shrugged. "I still slip up every now and then." he admitted, avoiding her gaze.

"It's still better than Earth, Tieler." She giggled very softly and looked over at him still. "I have nothing special to do... except maybe cause a few Earthquakes if someone gets me mad." Aurina simply shrugged, then gently splashed water up on her shoulders. She lowered herself a little more into the water, then looked up into the sky. Her eyes searched the stars, then she smiled once more, "Do you ever think that all the continents will all come together again?"

Tieler gazed up at the sky, really thinking her question over. After a long moment of silence he shrugged. "I honestly can't say I do. It would be nice though. Total unity between continents; would make traveling less of a hassle." He slowly pulled himself forward and stood. "Well, I don't know about you, but I could sure use some sleep right about now. Thank you very much for all your generous hospitality. I hope to see you once again before I leave." Nodding slightly, he climbed out of the spring and headed for the changing rooms. Once fairly dry and back in his dirty clothes, he stepped out. "Now to find me a barn to sleep in. But first, I need to find my way out of here." he added as an after thought as he glanced around.

As he got out of the hot spring, Aurina followed his suit. Still in her towel, she walked close to him, then paused outside her changing room. "If you wait a moment, Tieler... I will show you a room you may call your own... and, for the night, give you something different to sleep in to clean your clothes. I can't have a friend and guest sleeping in a barn or his dirty clothes." She laughed softly, like he was crazy for even thinking that. Swiftly, she entered the changing room and replaced her towel with her clothes. Aurina placed her hair over her shoulder and walked back out and over to Tieler. "But, if you are completely dead-set on sleeping on hay, then I won't stop you..." She stated and smiled, hoping he'd come with her instead of sleeping in a barn.

Not really knowing why, Tieler had not even considered her hospitality to extend this far. He couldn't understand why he was so surprised at her offer, but smiled in relief nonetheless. "That sounds absolutely amazing. There's no way I'd turn down such an offer to go sleep in a barn." He grinned and held out his arm to her. "Lead away, M'Lady." He would greatly enjoy a nice, soft, warm bed. It would be a welcomed change after years of cold grounds, straw mats and bales of hay. It wasn't so much that he was cold; he never had that problem. It was the uncomfortable positions one found themselves in when sleeping in such weird and awkward places. His muscles grew tight and numb, and he hardly ever woke up sore anymore. But it also caused many cramps and tension knots, which affected his travels, slowing him down. What he used to be able to travel in a few months, now nearly took him a year, due to his constant need to stop. It made him feel old, and frail. But tonight, he felt young again, and he wasn't going to give up any chance to hold on to it. Maybe he could put his travels on hold, and stay a while. Allow his body to regain it's youth and agility. It couldn't hurt, he didn't anywhere to be. He turned to glance at her, opening his mouth to speak. "Say... How long would a fellow such as I be welcomed in your Kingdom? I do not wish to overstay my welcome, yet I do not want to let it go to waste."

Aurina linked her arm with his in a happy smile. For a few moments, she allowed the silence to fill the gap between them. "You're welcomed here until the day I pass and become the true earth elements." She welcomed him and lightly squeezed his arm; careful not to squeeze too hard- one small slip from her, and he might've ended up with a broken arm... or worse. "Feel free to come and leave as you please." She smiled and lead him back up into the castle. Aurina took him into the stairs and began to go up. "I'll give you our best guest room... It'll be next to mine, so if you need anything, or just feel like talking, don't hesitate to try and find me..." She explained as she turned down a hall.

Tieler smiled back at her. "I greatly appreciate your endless hospitality. It's been quite some time since anyone has showed me this much kindness. Though I fear that were I not a Prince, things would be very different." he teased. As they walked through the castle, Tieler took in the paintings, the tapestries, the layout. Everything his eyes could see, he memorized it. The small child buried deep within him suddenly wanted to go exploring through the castle, but he restrained himself and continued to let himself be lead by Aurina. The bed called to him, and his muscles slowly began to ache in response.

Aurina stopped at the end of the hall and turned to him. "This will be your room... I would love to stay here for a bit to talk... but I have to go notify everyone we will be having a guest." She smiled and bowed her head shortly. "I do hope this is good enough for you..." She added, smiled once more then turned and walked back down the hall.

Tie nodded. "More than 'good enough'." he assured with a smile. "Worry not, I understand how it works. All guests must be announced to whom it may concern. Have a wonderful night, Your Highness. Pleasant dreams." he called as she walked away. He closed the door gently behind him and sighed. Turning to the bed, he began to remove his clothing until he was left in his muscle shirt and under-shorts. He sat on the floor and began to stretch, starting with his legs, then his back and finally his arms. Slowing his breathing, he crossed his legs and began to meditate. Too much excitement had taken place, and now his mind was reeling, his blood pumping. His feet longing to wander the corridors. His eyes burned with fatigue, but his body was completely alive. He tried hard to focus on slowing his pulse, regulating his breathing. He tried to ease the fire coursing through him, but nothing seemed to be working. With a sigh of defeat, he opened his eyes and glanced about the room. It was very roomy, but he found himself feeling trapped, enclosed. He wandered to the window and opened it, hoping it would ease his sense of entrapment.

It was early the next morning, and the warm rays of sun woke the slumbering princess. Aurina laid in bed for a long moment, and the events of the previous day flooded her mind. "Of course." She stated softly to herself as she sat up in bed. In the room beside her should've been the Prince of Azriel, Tieler. A warm smile came over her face, and she slowly climbed out of bed.
The princess had gotten herself dressed and prepared for the day, and she made a stop to the room next door. She knocked a few times, "Tieler? Are you awake?" She called softly and waited against the wall for a few moments.
