Terion came down on her, but the problem was that he was taller and he had used more strength than he should have. He was used to teaching men and men were stronger than Alastriona and could withhold his weight better. She attempted to grab him no doubt, but in the motion Teiron felt the cold steal against hid bare skin. Nonetheless he got flipped over and the blade ended up on the floor beside him. Terion nodded his head, "Well that was good." Terion said and then moved his hand to the ground to pick himself up, but he felt liquid under his right hand. He looked down and saw some blood on the floor. He looked at his side and there was a slight gash in it. He sighed and looked up, "Towel please." he said completely naturally, like he was having a normal day.

Alastríona was pleased with the fact she managed to get the knife away from him even though it wasn't quite as smooth as Terion had done it. She smiled at him when he told her she had done well. She always applied herself to the best of her abilities. She sighed then started to get up when she noticed the blood. She knew she wasn't injured. "Oh my! I.. I apologize, Your Highness! I ..I didn't mean to injury you!" she said as she hurried to get Terion a towel.

Terion laid on the ground, not really moving. He did decide to roll onto the side that did not have the wound, that way the blood in his body would run to the other side. It would still bleed, but less and Terion could control it better. Terion smiled to himself as he thought about his injury. He had never really been bothered by swords, knives or any other cuts. He had not been cut all that many times and never by a novice. All the more funnier for him. He waited for Alastriona to get him a towel. He began to hum to himself a little bit as he laid there, just sort of laying there, waiting for her...bleeding.

Alastríona came running back to the room with a few towels. "Please forgive me, my Lord! I truly did not wish to injury you!" she cried frantically as she handed him a towel and knelt down beside him to look at the wound herself. She had began to gently pat the blood on and around the wound trying to size it up. "Wait right here! I will get a basin of water!" She got up to go get the water then turned to look at Terion again.

Terion lay on the floor while Alastriona rushed to get him a towel and some water. Terion took the towel that he had already been given and continued to clean around the wound. He smirked when he saw that it really wasn’t anything to be concerned about at all. He smiled to himself when he thought about how exactly it was that he had been struck. He couldn’t quite figure it out himself. In any case, he waited patiently, just listening to the footsteps and looking out at the moon. It was a wonderful night. He could tell there was a breeze because of the movement of the trees outside. It was warm as well, beautiful.

Alastríona rushed back to Terion's side with the water. She was a bit winded by now. "Please forgive me, Your Highness. I didn't mean to injure you." She said as she tried to catch her breath and had started to wash the blood away from his wound. She could tell he hadn't been hurt too badly and was somewhat relieved. She looked at Terion, hoping he wasn't upset with her. He wasn't your typical man and she didn't know how to read him. She smiled at him rather sheepishly hoping all was well, or as well as it could be.

Terion was not a naturally mean person, nor was he someone that would become angered easily. He had a very good state of mind, was patient and was forgiving for the most part. Terion didn't blame Alastriona at all. In fact, he found the whole ordeal rather amusing. Terion looked at Alastriona as she came to his side and began to further tend to his wound. "It is quite alright my dear, quite alright." Terion assured, " Tis my fault, i came down to hard." Terion apologized. That was unnatural for a king to do, but again, Terion was not ordinary king. He moved his right hand to Alastriona's left hand, "I do not hold it against you...." He reassured once more, looking into her eyes.

Alastríona was glad Terion wasn't upset and a little surprised that he apologized. She thought for just a moment, Terion wasn't your everyday kind of king. She had smiled and took a deep breath when she heard his words and felt him touch her hand. "Thank you .... Terion." She smiled at him again before she said "It doesn't look that bad. Does it hurt much?"

“Well it stings…” Terion said and looked up at Alastriona, his eyes peaceful and not condescending. He had been dealt much worse wounds than that of the current one. Usually he did not have a woman to tend to them either. Terion smiled and looked at his wound, “All we shall need to do is wrap it and it will be fine. I shalln’t bare it for long.” Terion said and rested his head on his hands, just looking up at Alastriona as she tended to him. It wasn’t really a bad feeling at all.

Alastríona was relieved to hear that Terion wasn't in much pain. She looked around the room while attending to him. The bandages weren't in there. "There aren't any bandages here. I shall need to go downstairs to retrieve them to wrap your wound." She smiled at him sweetly, still a little nervous about injuring him. She would need to move quietly as to not wake anyone else. The house guards were used to seeing her about the castle at night, they kept a watch over her. Often when she couldn't sleep, she would go for walks. "Is there anything else you may need from downstairs, Terion?"

Terion looked around with her for any bandages, just in case she had missed something. He doubted that he would have missed something because after all, this was her home and she would know where everything was. Terion shook his head, "I only wish that you return." Terion said with a smile as he looked up at Alastriona. "I don't know if i should be staying on this floor for it is rather rough. Oh well, i suppose i can remain her. I would not want to soil the sheets of the bed, i do not know how long it would take for you to clean them, well not you, but the maids. No need to strain them more than needed." Terion said with a smile and then with his free hand he beckoned for her to go, his hand moving back and forth eagerly, "Go go now!" He said with a smile and a slight laugh as he shooed her playfully.

Alastríona smiled when he told her just to return. She nodded to Terion "I shall be right back." She put her robe back on and ran silently down to the first floor to retrieve the bandages. She passed several of the house guards, who only nodded and smiled at her. She of course had slowed her pace upon approaching their posts as not to alarm them. She tucked the bandages into her robe then returned to Terion much in the same manner as she had left. Upon entering the room she smiled at Terion, "I'm back with the bandages." Then went to his side and began to dress his wound.

Terion smiled as he saw her return with the bandages. He saw that she had indeed returned as well. He had gotten himself into a wonderful position on the bed. He figured that he wasn't really bleeding all that much and he would lay on his side opposite his wound so to make sure that there was an even slimmer chance of soiling the sheets. "Well hello my darling." He said playfully, "Perhaps i could call you nurse." He said with a boyish smile upon her approach, "That was much faster than i anticipated. I would have to say that you know your way around the castle." Terion said with a smile, beckoning for her to come over to him

Alastríona smiled at Terion. "I do indeed know my way around the castle and the grounds." She continued to talk to him as she dressed his wound. "I often go for walks at night. The guards were not surprised to see me. So, none stopped or asked me questions." She smiled at him again as she finished wrapping the cut. "There. How does that feel?" She looked him in the eyes, smiling , while waiting for his reply.

Terion listened to her explanation of why she had been so quick in her returning to him. Apparently it was not abnormal for her to be wondering around the grounds in the middle of the night. Perhaps she had problems sleeping more frequently than he did. She began to bandage him again and he smiled at her, not wincing from the pain, but just continuing to look into her eyes and watch her. When she stopped bandaging him he broke his trance for a moment and moved one of his hands to hers and placed it back on his side a bit above his wound, "Don't stop...." He whispered, looking into her eyes again.
