As he listened and they watched the sun setting in the horizon, he smiled by what she said. Having her to become his wife was something he looked forward too, hopefully they together would create a life with happiness and love. It was decided that they were to be married, to contain peace between the new colony and their homestead. Not only was Thorkil a legend, but also a hero among many. His deeds was known in most Celtic towns, as he often had saved them from danger. Catriona was the perfect bride, with her and the hero united the people would stand behind them in respect and glory. As both of them watched, he answered kindly back in return as she mentioned the colony he had built."Yes, hopefully they are doing well. Just before I came here, I made peace with another country nearby. The land we settled on, belonged to the Scythian realm. However there was no trouble among us, we managed to settle things peacefully as they also agreed to help if needed."

She smiled and nodded, "That is very good, I am glad things are going well," she told him and then a servant entered with a platter with two plates, "it seems dinner is served privately this night," she told him and she turned back to the room. The servant bowed politely and then left the two to their food, awaiting outside to take the dishes back when they finished. Catriona lifted her platter cover to reveal fish and steamed vegetables, potatoes, warmed bread and butter. They had two goblets each and two pitchers, one with water, the other with wine. "Dinner is served my lord," she smiled and poured herself some water. The thought of more wine did not sit well with her at the particular moment.

Slightly Thorkil nodded to what Catriona first spoke, but suddenly got surprised as food was served. When she went inside to get herself something to eat, he watched with curious eyes by every teasing step she took. Her beauty was incredible, as well her kindness. However when she told him dinner was served and asked for him to come, he could not resist. With a smile he entered the room again, sitting down right next to her as food he grabbed. The way she looked at him made him feel wanted, although was glad by the thought that they were soon to marry. "I gladly accept the served dinner, it has been a long journey and I could need some food in my stomach. Although being in a company of a such beautiful lady like yourself, makes it all surely better. "Thorkil answered, hoping his charm could gain her interest and perhaps love.

She smirked, "I hear you are a charmer among women," she said and when she saw his expression, she could not help but smile. "I am afraid, good lord, that such trickery can not bewitch me. I know the race of man all too well so I pray you do not expect me to love you divinely without good time," she said, her hand had rested on top of his but it withdrawed at the end of her words.

Thorkil had to smile by what she said, everything she said was a fact. He was a charmer, one who often had tricked other ladies into bed. However Catriona was different and a lot more tough then others, as well she was royal. With a curious look he watched what she did as her hand stretched to touch him, it was nice but sadly it did not last for long. In return to her words, he kindly spoke with a smile."Well then let us get to know each other better, I am sure there are many things you haven't told about your life as well I haven't told much about mine. If we are to marry, then I suggest we better start somewhere..or what do you believe?"He said, but slowly moved his hand to take hers. Wanting to hold her hand, as closer he wished to be.

"Or we can say nothing more of the past and live on in the present," she told him, not fighting his touch as it would seem fairly inappropriate to pull away from the man she was to marry. But then again, he probably would not be all that pleased with their wedding night but he would deal, or so she hoped. Then her hand pulled away again and she finished up her meal. As she went to grab something the wine pitcher fell spilling on the two of them, "nuts!" She growled softly and then she relaxed and looked to him, "Would you like a towel to wipe yourself? Or if you like, I could have the servants drw up a bath for you."

As Thorkil watched Catriona when she answered him about getting to know each other better, he agreed that maybe they should stay away the past. It was many things he as well didn't want to share, since a lot had happened earlier. Suddenly when she removed her hand, the wine got spilled all over them. The cloths Thorkil had on got all wet, but so did hers. He was shocked, however not angry. "Ah, well...perhaps a towel. If not that works I could always go for the bath, could also maybe need new cloths."He said, as he looked at the spot where the wine was spilled upon him. Most of it had ended in his lap, as well some on the chest and stomach. Kindly again he turned to watch Catriona, thinking the situation was a bit funny but also glad to be around her.

She tossed him a towel and grabbed her own. "Follow me then," she said and led him to the bath house. While this may have been the richest building in the country, it still followed common society. The nobles and their honored guests all shared one bath house, such customs were not unusual however and when many people were together, often times one group was further away from the other. Cat went to the other side of the large bath and slipped into the water. She grabbed her dress and then she started to wash it out, hoping the stain would not stick.

As Catriona tossed him the towel and told him to follow, he took it and went along. Since he too was an germanian, he knew the customs. The bath they had was of course different then any other land around, as more wild and barbaric the Celts were. Through the halls Thorkil went with the princess, but when they arrived he watched as she went to wash her dress. Gentle and elegant he followed and when he stepped into the water he took of his cloths, kindly he looked at Catriona, wondering what she thought. His muscles was shown, as half naked he were. However the sight he saw of her was beautiful, when her wet dress sticked to her body it was a pleasant view. One who could make a man go insane or increase the feelings within, at least he respected her and the more he was close the better it all felt.

(She doesn't have any clothes on how would you bather with clothes on haha) After she was satisfied with her dress, she set it on the edge and then she sat on a built in ledge that was around the wall for seating. The water came to her neck and she leaned her head back letting out a long sigh, "I'm terribly sorry about that my lord, I can be so clumsy at times," she said to him without moving.

(Lol oops, must had misunderstood a little XD.)
Thorkil could not stop smiling as he saw Catriona laying naked in the pool after her dress were removed, closer he approached but listened interested to what she said. The cloths he earlier had on, were now placed away so he too could be naked in the water with her. "No worries, everything is fine. I am actually glad it happened, if not then we wouldn't spend this moment together."He said kindly, thought as close he suddenly came they could feel one another's feet below.

"Watch it mister," she said looking up at him, "we aren't married just yet and even then, I'm just not sure if I'm ready for this," the memories of Rome were still fresh in her mind and it made her nervous. What if something had happened, what if she became pregnant. She shuddered at the thought and closed her eyes, letting out a long deep breath.

"Is that so..."Thorkil spoke with a smile as he watched Catriona, the sight he saw was beautiful as pleasing it were. Knowing that a woman like her would become his wife, felt nice. Below water their feet touched, who closer made them be to one another. The further he got, the more interesting the moment became. After a short while, he again spoke. "Well shouldn't we learn to be close, if we one day are to be husband and wife?"With that said, his arm slowly moved to touch her cheek as the water pushed them together.

"Maybe so but wife and husband is a mere title if there is no meaning behind it, nothing more. As for you, I and your "reward" as it were. The ideal of passing off a human as a gift, well, that does not mean I will let you have me so easily and should you think worse of me for it, then so be it," she said looking up at him. She didn't mean to sound cruel in any form, just protective of herself, especially knowing that nothing nor no one would hold him back should he attempt something.

Curiously Thorkil watched but after she spoke, he slightly nodded as slowly moved away. Still his hand touched her cheek, until it was removed and with a kind look he answered to what she said. "Do not worry, I`ll do nothing without your approval. Even it is tempting to have such an beautiful woman in front of me, specially a naked princess like you."He said kindly, thought kept himself close as more he wished to know of her. It was an romantic moment they shared, even it could seem awkward at some point of view. However with time they would get closer, as married they were to be.
