[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Kelsier gave her a crooked smile and shook his head. He helped her up into the saddle before climbing up in front of her.

[CrimsonMoon]

Her arms wrapped around his torso awkwardly, there were tiny ridges beneath her clothing... Probably those strange needles that seemed to appear out of thin air. She squeezes the jorse slightly with her legs, clearly nervous

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Kelsier squeezed the horse's sides and it started at a walk. Once they were outside the gates, he whistled and a black wolf appeared from the trees.

[CrimsonMoon]

She blinks at the wolf, hugging his waist and shivering slightly as the cold northern air nips her skin. Her nose and cheeks quickly becoming a rosy red,"... Who's your friend?" She asks

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Corr," Kelsier said. "He's been with me since I was little." He urged the horse forward and into the forest. Corr tagged along after them, graceful and majestic as any wolf.

[CrimsonMoon]

She unconciously presses her nose and mouth to the back of his head, her warm breath creatung a small patch of warmth in his hair, she watches the wolf, holding onto him slightly tightly,"... He's a happy memory," she chirps suddenly

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Yeah," Kell said softly. "I guess he is."

[CrimsonMoon]

She rests her chin on his shoulder, humming softly and closing her eyes, her cheek bumping against his ear every now and then from the gate of the horse

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

(I'm pretty sure it's "gait")

They rode through the forest in silence for awhile. The only sounds came from the horse--its breathing, the soft thud of its hooves. Kell closed his eyes for a moment, letting the peaceful quiet wash over him and bring him back to a time when things were simpler. A time when he didn't have assassins after him.

[CrimsonMoon]

Nyx remains silent, resting her chin on his shoulder and closing her eyes. She shivered slightly and hums softly

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Kelsier stiffened a bit, becoming more and more aware of her body pressed against his back. He took in a shaky breath and looked over at Corr, who gazed back at him with dark eyes.

[CrimsonMoon]

"... Can you speak to yourself? I heard Starks could do that," she asks quetly, her warm breath tickles his ear and it was as if she was afraid to break the silence

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Kelsier frowned. "There are a lot of myths about our house. Myths and rumors. Some I don't even know if they're true or not."

[CrimsonMoon]

" Sjould we test them then?" She asks ina steadily softer breathy voice, she shuddered slightly and presses more comfortably against his back, wrinkling her nose as his hair tickles her nose

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Kelsier shuddered a bit, too, but not because of the cold. He could feel her breath on his neck, stirring his hair and sending shivers down his spine. "I find that poking around my father's secrets is usually a bad idea."

[CrimsonMoon]

She smiles in an almost fox-like smirk," But they are your secrets as well," she murmurs, pulling away just barely as if sensing his discomfort," Is it not Stark Blood that I was trying to spill?"

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"I have no secrets," Kell said softly. "At least, not from you. I've told you all my secrets."

[CrimsonMoon]

She smiles and leans over his shoulder again, kissing his cheek lightly in an affectionate gesture like one would to a pet," I know, i'll never let there be secrets between us," She breathes In his ear. Nyx almost enjoyed how flustered he was getting.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Somehow I don't believe you've told me everything," Kelsier said. He forced his voice to be steady, but his heart was fluttering. Gods, this woman had tried to kill him. What was wrong with him?

[CrimsonMoon]

" I haven't thats true," She answers and her voice trails off, she watches the scenery fly past. The barren trees, undisturbed snow and rocks protruding from the undisturbed blanket of white like sleeping soldiers," But I don't want to die... And I fear if I told you, i'd go to sleep and never wake up... Tar Raven wouldn't let me come back... To you,"
