[CrimsonMoon]

Ayla cries out his name but the words are whipped away from her mouth as soon as they leave. She shakily settles back down beside her father and curls up, trembling and sobbing softly

[~echo~]

Dallas saw base come into view and winced when he saw that it had taken great damage to the sides of the building. He landed and rushed inside, shying away from the sound of bombs nearby. He found a commander and saluted. "What do I do? I think we should evacuate the building, go to the underground shelters."

[CrimsonMoon]

Ayla and General Parenthe were quickly pulled into the one of the huge bombing ships, Ayla felt her legs give out suddenly becoming light headed...

" Already done, Sherlock," The commander answers coldly, the higher ups were still pissed about his little adventure obviously...

[~echo~]

"Well, then do we wait until they stop?" Dallas asked, holding back a growl of frustration.

[CrimsonMoon]

" They took out all out anti-aircraft weaponry, so unless you want to play hero again and go to the roof with a pistol and shoot down one of those airships, i'll give you my rank," The commander answers sarcastically," But until then, you stay low and don't move,"

[~echo~]

Dallas nodded and ducked into a room, wincing every time a bomb went off.

[~echo~]

Bump

[CrimsonMoon]

-HOURS . LATER-

The bombing had at last trailed off to the steady rumble of artillery, the sergeant had at last allowed Dallas to o on with his usual duties... And was already planning to send him back out into the field

--

Ayla had washed off and changed, she sat i the private quarters inside one of the airships heading back over the Atlantic. She watched the dark ocean crashing below... Unable to take her mind off of Dallas...

[~echo~]

Loud voices suddenly sounded outside of Ayla's room, one sounding quite familiar in particular. "... Where is she?! I must see her!" yelled David just as another man with a squeaky voice said, "Please, sir! She isn't seeing anybody!" The voices paused a moment before David carefully slid the door open. He cried out in relief when he saw Ayla and rushed to her, grasping her shoulders and kneeling before her. "Ayla, my love! Are you hurt? Did they hurt you?"

[CrimsonMoon]

Ayla snaps from her daze and slowly cups his face in her hands, tears gathering in her icey blue eyes," David..." She breathes his name and hugs him, trembling," I'm so glad you're still alive... They said they wouldn't hurt you if I came..."

[~echo~]

David hugged her tightly, closing his eyes. "Don't worry about me. You can't get rid of me so easily."

[CrimsonMoon]

Ayla breathes in and sinks to the floor with him, hugging him tightly,"... Good," she breathes, nuzzling his blonde hair," I love you so much... So much..."

[~echo~]

"I love you too," he murmured. "And that's why we must get married as soon as possible. I can't stand it any longer!"

[CrimsonMoon]

Ayla felt something in her chest tighten... Could it be that she felt hesitation...? She nods and buries her nose into his neck,"... Just focus on your studies... To be the best King you can be..."

[~echo~]

David frowned a but but shrugged slightly to himself and nodded. "I will."

(Kay, so now what?)

[CrimsonMoon]

(We can time skip to David asking for Ayla's hand from her father, or a few months of David being trained by the King and Dallas can be disguised as a servant and sent to David's home.... That'd be iteresting x3)

[~echo~]

(That is a cool idea! What would he be there for?)

[CrimsonMoon]

To assassinate or to spy or to do both x3)

[~echo~]

(okay! Or warn him to take care of Ayla or else!)

[CrimsonMoon]

X3)

-TIME . SKIP-

It had been a few weeks since Ayla had returned, her father had accepted David's marriage proposal but as a result had begun drilling more information than ever into the poor boy... He wanted his son-in-law to be the King and nothing less.

Ayla had moved to David's home, as was custom and now she sat at a window sill, sewing a tear in an infintryman's uniform as she was taught long ago. Her lght blue dress swayed fainty in the summer breeze...
