Benjamin & Aurora

"Yeah, sure."

She'd pulled away before so I resisted the urge to take her hand again as I led her back into the house. "I'm off work tomorrow, do you want me to take you into town to get you some things?" I asked her as we made plates. 

"Sure." I told him as I made my plate and sat down.

"Okay cool. I always get up early in the morning to work out at the training center, but you can sleep in. The servants will make you breakfast whenever you wake up. We can go when I get back if that's alright." 

"That's fine." I said and took a bite of spaghetti. It was so good I almost groaned. "I haven't been to the training center in a long time. Would I be allowed in there now?"

"You can go with me. Tywin doesn't... want you all having free reign though. If you know what I mean. Do you want to go with me tomorrow?" 

"Yeah, I'd like that."

"Alright, sounds good. We can leave after breakfast." 

"Thank you for taking me along."

"No problem. You don't seem like the type of woman that would be content staying home in the house all day. Though there will be some days you'll have to."

"Right...I get that."

"You can go anywhere you want in the house though, and the garden out back. And you can visit the women here in the village, long as I know where you're at. I know you have friends here, and your mom and mother in law are here." 

I nodded and thought about my brothers and sighed. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, anything you want."

"Are soldiers still looking for those who escaped...like my brothers?" 

I sighed. "He didn't leave any of us out there. But I'm not sure if he'll send anymore out looking. The Simmons brothers and one of their wives are still out there. He's not going to take that lightly. Didn't take that lightly, I should say." 

"My brother Chase was hurt pretty badly. I hope he's okay...do you think I'll be questioned about them?'

"I'm sure you will be." 

"Funny. I really have no idea where they are. I told Gabe not to run, actually."

"It would've been smart for him not to. Though I understand why he did. I hope your other brother is okay too. How badly was he hurt?" 

"Pretty bad. But, Gabe said they needed to stay back so they could help us later on. He's had a hard time...I think he's just tired of being on the back burner or something."

I sighed and shook my head. "Well... that wasn't really the best way to get off the back burner. How does he think he's going to help you?"

Pffft. Ben was okay but he wasn't getting too many details. "I don't know. My brothers are more on the silent side than I am. The type of people who let things bother time until they just go off the deep end."

I nodded. "I know a few people like that. Doesn't sound too healthy." 

I nodded. "Right."
