[CrimsonMoon]

Azra frowns and sits down hugging her knees

(Not quite sure hiw ti respond without help xD)

[Blazy]

Another figure waited in the shadows, watching the entire exchange between the Grand witch, the dark witch, and her companion. Eyes narrowed in suspicion as the duo left the Grand witch in a hasty retreat. Stepping out of the foliage, Hawke walked over to where Azra was sitting. "Odd pair, wouldn't you agree, your majesty?" He stated, his voice like warm honey, as he looked at where Reyna and Nalak had disappeared.

[CrimsonMoon]

" Hawke!" She squeaks happily and hugs his legs, grinning up at him like a tiny child," Yeah... But at least his fur was soft," she chirps," I just hope they don't decide to hurt any humans... Ya know? Some dark witches like tjat stuff for their potions that don't even work.."

[Blazy]

Hawke chuckled, already accustomed to Azra's mannerisms. "I have never seen such a beast before. He was not a familiar, but a living creature. Quite the feat of magic, no?" He said, clearly impressed. "Come, let us return to the coven. Your sisters worry for you." He held out his hand for her to take, helping her stand.

[CrimsonMoon]

Azra takes his hand and pulls herself up, her platinum blonde hair falling down her back like water," They always worry," she complains, hugging his arm

[Blazy]

(Caisleán means castle in Irish.)

"Because they care for you." He nodded, placing her hand in the crook of his elbow. With a thought, he cast a teleportation spell, whisking the pair out of the forest, and to the wrought iron gates guarding the castle where they lived. Hawke gazed up at the massive structure, "Such beauty. I never tire of gazing at the Caisleán. The magic of hundreds of witches working together to build this castle. Simply beautiful." He turned to Azra, taking her hand in his, "Though, not nearly as beautiful as you, your majesty." Hawke murmured as he placed a gentle kiss to the back of her hand, his cerulean gaze never leaving hers.

[CrimsonMoon]

Azra blushes profusely and murmurs," Oh Hawke, i've known you for how long and you still find pleasure in embarassing me," she gently pulls her hand away and rolls her eyes with a tiny smile

[Blazy]

Hawke chuckles at her reaction, hiding the flash of pain in his heart. "Shall we?" He asks, holding his arm out for her to take, so they could enter the castle and assuage the fears of her sisters.

[CrimsonMoon]

" Yes," she stands on her tiptoes and chirps," But Hawke... You know I can't take a husband," she murmurs quietly, she felt a weird knot in her chest. It was true... She couldn't or not until her 'sisters' chose one for her to 'create' a new Grand Witch

[Blazy]

Hawke remained silent, knowing her words to be true, though they still cut him like a white hot knife. He led her through the main hall, into the foyer, where her sisters were waiting for her. They rushed over, gushing and fawning over Azra as though she had been gone for months, rather than hours. Hawke hung back, slipping through the mass of witches, and out the door.

[CrimsonMoon]

Azra glances back to find Hawke gone," Haw-" she cuts herself off from calling to him... If only she wasn't a Grand Witch...

She pauses to reassure her sisters that she was quite alright, quite untainted and QUITE unharmed but even still... They reminded her of a gaggle of geese

[Blazy]

One of her sisters, a blue haired witch named Lovellinia, rushed forward taking Azra's hands in her own. "You are well, sister?" She asks, her voice full of concern.

Hawke stalked down the long corridor, a scowl marring his handsome features. Those who passed him shuddered knowing Hawke to be a cheerful fellow and wondered what could have put him in such a sour mood.

(Lovellinia is the witch from our other thread! The one that tried to kill Indira)

[CrimsonMoon]

Azta nods, trying to make her way toward where Hawke had disappeared," I-I'm well, sister, please uhm... May I- can I-" she stutters hoping not to be over taken by scolding

[Blazy]

Lovellinia quickly got the hint, "Oh, you poor dear! You must be exhausted!" She exclaims, "Here, we will get you all washed up and into bed right away!" She dragged Azra out of the room and away from her other sisters. "There, thats all taken care of. Go, I think he's heading to the tower." Lovellinia winked and walked away, a smile on her face.

Hawke wandered with no real direction. He stopped when he reached a heavy oak door.'The tower...?' He shrugged, and pushed past the door, climbing the winding stairs to the top. At the peak, the tower room was a large circle, with stone pillars interrupting the view every few feet, holding the pointed circular ceiling high above the floor. There was no glass between the pillars, only open space. A gentle breeze rolled through, ruffling Hawke's dark locks.

[CrimsonMoon]

Azra literally ran to the tower after hugging her sister, picking her skirts up to keep from tripping. She antered the room where Hawke was, pausing to catch her breath and hoping her didn't see her

[Blazy]

Hawke turned at the sounds of footsteps, catching sight of Azra as she tried to catch her breath. He rushed over to her, "Azra, what happened? Is everything all right?" He asks, quickly checking over her for signs of injury.

[CrimsonMoon]

" I can't even run down a hallways without someone asking me if I'm ok," she laughs and huggs him suddenly, burying her face into his neck,"... I'm sorry about earlier," she murmurs softyl

[Blazy]

Hawke shakes his head. "It is the truth, no matter how I deny it, Azra, though it pains me to admit it aloud." He whispers into her thick, blonde hair as he held her tightly.

[CrimsonMoon]

" Oh Hawke," she smiels and nuzzles his neck," You... I... I dunno, I wish we could... I dunno," she mumbles softly

[Blazy]

Hawke pulls away, and takes her delicate chin in his hand, his other hand cupping her cheek. His bright blue eyes gaze deep into her crimson depths as he tilts her head back, his lips brushing gently across hers.
