So that was how his face ended up all bruised and beat up. He'd been fighting with a giant. Man! How come he got to fight the giant and I had to be the stupid princess? Definitely not fuckin' fair if you ask me but that was another part of the problem. Nothing was ever fair, right? How easily Harry's words could come back to haunt me.
"I think I feel okay." I shrugged as I sat out and stretched a little bit. I felt a little week, kinked up. Like I'd been laying in the same spot for months but the truth was? I felt ten times better than I had when I'd first walked into this castle, before I'd met Aidan upstairs and he'd poked me with his stupid needle. I knew what it was right away. The performance enhancers had all cleared out of my system by now. I was free. Or at least, as free as I could ever be.
"You look exhausted though." I said, concerned as I gently reached out a hand and rubbed my thumb over a large bruise blossoming just to the left of his eye. I wasn't usually this gentle or tender with Connor but I missed my kids and this was more how I would act towards them.
"Do you wanna rest before we go?" I asked him. The bed was gigantic and had plenty of room for him to nap if he wanted to.
"I don't think it's a good idea for us to rest in a castle where you were in a coma. We'll get back to the forest and then I'll crash while you take look out."
The tenderness of her touch surprised me, but I leaned into it anyway. I'd missed her while we were separated. It was bad enough I dragged her down to this hell dimension with me. The least I could do was keep better track of her from now on.
"I passed a cottage on my way here. maybe we can crash there for awhile." Because cottages in forests are always a good thing. Better than castles at least right?
I stood up and searched the room looking for some kind of weapons. Of course I found nothing because this was a princess's room, and since when do they trust a princess to fight? They picked the wrong princess then because Faith would take all their asses out if they tried to stop us from leaving.
