She felt his hand on her arm and shifted against it. She slept quietly now that she knew that he was there.

Forest continued to rub her arm gently, almost hypnotically as he sat beside her, simply watching her chest slowly rise and fall with sleep, it was a perfect image he thought. She looked so peaceful, sleeping, without a worry in the world, for he was there with her, doing his best to protect her from all the world's harm. His gaze though was broken when he again heard the crunch of feet on the path, he looked up, wondering who in the world had the nerve to disturb them on such a day.
What he saw however was the head of the army, put in place after the accident involving the headmaster and headmistress. He forced himself to stand, but not before touching Serenity's shoulder to assure her that he would be back. Then he walked to the Commanding General, who whispered a few words to him. Forest in turn told the maid to watch over Serenity, before he lead the General into his office.

Sere woke up after Forest was gone a few minutes. She saw the maid. "Where is the Master?" she asked. She had a bad feeling about something.

( The general is in italics)
The two men had walked into his office swiftly, before the general took a spot by the window, looking outside as Forest stood by his desk. " What is it Sir? " he asked, for it had to be something important, he hoped it wasn't something about Serenity. " I'm afraid that Serenity will have to come into the castle soon, as a member of the army she must be looked at by a doctor. " he said. The two men looked at each other, and Forest understood, not only did he understand, he had a fear for Serenity, and not just because of her bones.

Sere flipped off of the bench and started to crawl to the castle. She asked someone where his office was and started toward it. She got to the office door and knocked.

The maids tried to help Serenity but couldn't stop the crawling woman. Forest turned at the sound of a knock and nodded to the General. Forest then went to the door and opened it, but quickly dropped to the ground, his fear only growing at he saw her scratched arms. He quickly wrapped his arms securely around her and lifted her up. " What are you doing? " he said, his voice trying to be stern but only showing worry.

She sighed as he picked her up. "I had a bad feeling and I woke up. You weren't there. I asked where you where and no one told me." she said.

He shook his head at her, but brought her in all the same, setting her down on a couch, and making sure she was alright before turning to the general. " I am sorry, Sir, I will report soon and do as you have asked. " he said bowing deeply as the General left. Then, his mask off he turned back to Serenity, kneeling beside her as he had in the gardens. " You could have hurt yourself! What were you thinking. You could have simply called for me, I would have heard you and come running, General or not. " he said, looking into her eyes the entire time he spoke.

She bent forward and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I am fine. What did he want?" she said as she laid her head against his chest.

He raised himself to catch her as she leaned forward. " Nothing, I just have to report to the castle in a few days. Do you want to come with me? " he asked, knowing that by then, the fruits of his letter should be ripe. All the same he didn't want to make her worry, so he lied a little, but he would rather take the pain, and be with her, then hurt her.

She looked up at him and smiled. "Yes, I want to go with you. I will go anywhere with you." she said.

He smiled, reaching a hand and gently brushing away the hair from her face. " I am glad to hear so my dear. " he said, then wrapped his arms about her again to pick her up. He lifted her easily and then left the room through the door, smiling down at her ever so often as he took her back up to her bedroom, in hopes that she might be able to rest for a while.

She smiled as he lifted her. She snuggled down to his chest and closed her eyes. "I did not mean to ruin your meeting." she said.

He smiled down at her. " You have ruined nothing, it was a boring meeting anyway. " he said before he opened the door, stepping through and then closing it again with his foot before he took her to the bed, and gently laid her down, making sure the pillows withe supporting her before he sat in his chair again.

She nodded her head. "You did not get kicked out for leaving to free me did you?" she asked him. She moved herself that she could look at him.
