“I just… I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Queen Irene said I was handsome,” he admitted hurriedly. “I never really thought of myself in that regard. Even before I came to work here.”

@emilyevewrites group

Eleanor giggled shyly. "Well… I think you're handsome," she whispered, resting her hands against his chest and tilting her head as she looked up into his eyes.

@emilyevewrites group

Eleanor closed her eyes and leaned into his touch without thinking. “I love you,” she murmured, smiling as she spoke the words. They were so blissfully true. What she felt for Thomas couldn’t be anything short of love.

Eleanor sighed and relaxed against him. It was so easy. Like he took all of her troubles away with just a touch. "We also talked about books in the library," she continued. "And reading… in a way. She offered me a tutor, but I told her that I already have one."

"Of course I mean you," she giggled in reply. "I don't mind. As long as I can get started with some of the basics. I would much rather have you than some… thinks-he-knows-it-all scholar talking down to me like I'm an idiot who should already understand everything he's supposed to teach me."

Eleanor smiled at the gentle touch. "That's true, but it can be difficult to judge a person's character until they are truly in their element of expertise," she said, sounding wiser about the situation than she felt.

“That’s wonderful.” Thomas smiled brightly. “And she was impressed by your work?” he asked as he ran his fingers against the new ribbon, almost certain that the other Queen had been. Otherwise, he didn't think that Eleanor would have brought it up.

@emilyevewrites group

"Yes," Eleanor replied eagerly, stifling a gasp at his indirect caressing of her wrist. "She was impressed and told me to compliment the seamstress I called for. She was surprised to find out it was my work, but I told her, just like you said I should."

@emilyevewrites group

Eleanor blushed. "Of course, I did. And it's not that impressive. It's just simple rows of stitches, really." She noticed how intent and admiring his gaze on her work was, and it only made her blush more.

@FanfictionFanatic-The-Elder group

Thomas hummed softly. “Perhaps… But that's just how you see it.” he pointed out. “If I was to attempt something this delicate, my stitches would be messy and uneven. Not to mention that you would probably be able to rip the ribbon off easily if I had done it.” he explained, not mentioning that was because of his lack of experience but implying her natural talent.

@emilyevewrites group

Eleanor smiled and quietly laughed. "I suppose you're right," she murmured, looking over her beautiful work. She placed her hand on top of his. "But you gave me the courage to tell Irene of my talent. So I have you to thank."

@emilyevewrites group

"Of course you did," Eleanor replied quietly. "You've given me confidence when I haven't thought it possible. If it wasn't for you at the welcoming ceremony, I wouldn't have made a good impression on her in the first place."

(I just realized that this was probably the longest day ever 😂)

Eleanor sighed softly and opened her eyes to peek out the window. The setting sun cast an array of pinks, oranges, purples, and yellows through the sky. "It's beautiful," she murmured, stifling a yawn as she realized how tired she was.

@FanfictionFanatic-The-Elder group

(lol yeah. I never pay much attention to how much time passes or should pass in a day for an RP 😆)

Thomas nodded as he looked down at her. “Yes. Beautiful,” he said as he gently brushed his fingers against her hair.
