155 words, G, originally written for legendland
“Richard?”
It takes him minutes to react to Kahlan’s voice. It doesn’t matter it’s soft, and alluring, and it weaves around him like a net of promises - he’s simply too sleepy to say something quicker.
“Hmmm?”
It’s not a bright answer, and he knows it, but he can’t help himself but drown it in an enormous yawn.
“Would you be so kind -“
Her voice drawls. Kahlan feels too drowsy to talk, but the inside of her mouth is dry, and there’s nothing in the world she’d like more than a drop of water to quench her thirst.
“ - and fetch some water from the creek?”
Richard rolls over to look at her; it takes him another few minutes to crane his stiff neck till their eyes meet.
“Kahlan, know what?”
She shakes her head, feeling too lazy to do as much as answer.
“What if I just kiss you till you’re not thirsty anymore?”
