John smiles when nym kisses his cheek then he slowly proceeds to eat the small amount he got for himself feeling content as the voices from camp drifted over making the atmosphere seems soft and peaceful "You're welcome love…." John pauses then he lets his sentence fall away as he studied nyms face when she spoke
Opal hums softly in reply then she speaks but this time her voice in nym and John head was softer "John nulls such a strong ability? How odd. Full of surprises"
Nym chuckles "As if I hadn't heard that one enough." Nym's laugh warms the atmosphere more. Nym looks over at John, takes another spoonful, then talks once all the food was down "So my love, you enjoying listening to us talk? Care to contribute anything?" Nym gently rests her head on John's shoulder. A lock of hair falls in front of her face just after she finishes the bowl of food John got for her. She sets the bowl and gently hums feeling very content
John shakes his head slightly then leans his head to the side and rests his head on top of nyms when she rests her head on his shoulder "No…I am just enjoying the moment here. It's nice to be here on Pylia love" John then moves slightly so he could wrap his arms around nym pulling her into a cuddle
Nym hums in content as she lays in John's arms. After a long moment she speaks softly "If I lay here too long I'll fall back to sleep." She chuckles and yawns slightly
John laughs then mumbles softly barely above a whisper as he listened to the slow and steady breathing of his dragon Opal "Falling back asleep would be nice….we have time for now. To relax for a day or two then get ready for what is to come next"
Nym scoffed and sat up "I believe sleep is an unnecessary waste of time." She turns to Opal "It was very nice to meet you Opal you are an exquisite creature. I hope John will allow our paths to cross again." Nym turns and walks back to the tent
John frowned as he watched nym get up and walk away back to the tent. He shakes his head when he gets up and walks back to the camp area looking for snows tent. Upon finding it he slips into her tent and faces the chest box that he left behind in snows care. Once he opens it he begins to put his armor on with a slight grimace. He was already feeling the past he left behind…..one that wasn't what he wanted to come back and do. Damn those traitors the stares ever since he came back. John grit his teeth when he slips on his helmet feeling irritated and wanting to just get this idiotic war over with
Nym spun around quickly feel a very bad feeling from John. She burst out of their tent and ripped through the camp to where she could feel John. Worried and panicked she calls out to him before entering the tent. She stood motionless in the entry way of the tent giving the odd figure a once over before realising it was John. A slight twinge of fear struck her heart and she took a step back "J-john? I-I'm sorry I f-felt pain coming f-from you. I-I-I panicked." shaky and stuttering Nym averts her eyes from what felt like John's figure
John frowns as he peers at nym from behind his helmet visor then he reaches out, stretching his metal gauntlets making them squeak softly as they were pulled out to their original form "Nym? I'm fine love….come here" John takes a small step towards nym bringing one of her hands up to his chest
Nym flinches and her face pulls into a horrified and pain grimace due to the eminence pain his arm has faced. Her hand grew hot as she continued to touch the chest plate. "J-john…"
John frowned then he takes a long slow breath before speaking softy trying to make sure nym remained calm at the moment as he hand glowed upon the chest plate of his armor "What are you feeling nym?"
Nym's breathing is shaky and shallow "P-pain," she tried to keep her voice from breaking and was unsuccessful as she broke into a fit of tears "S-so much pain."
John drops nyms hand from his chest when he takes his gauntlets off then he reaches up and holds nyms face murmuring soft soothing words to hopefully help nym speak her mind "Shh…It's okay love…Just open your eyes and look into mine"
Nym inhales sharply and slowly opens her eyes and looks into John's. After a moment calm washed over the space as Nym's eyes slowly turned into an ocean blue. "I'm s-sorry."
John let his great eyes pierce her letting them give her a soft calming presence of peace before speaking softly "What are you sorry for love?"
losing herself in his eye she stammers "F-for barging in a-and for b-basically b-breaking down and being a-afraid of you."
John pulls back his face now guarded and he straps his sword scabbard to his hip feeling slightly disappointed in himself for nym being afraid of him. John shakes his head slightly wishing he didn't frighten her with his past and the things he did before "Afraid….I suppose I can be frightening with the things I have seen and done. I don't want to scare you love"
"For an instant you may have, however I know it's you in there. The kind, loving man I agreed to marry." Nym studies John carefully. "Are you leaving?"
"I am preparing my armor making sure things are right. Then I am leaving to go on a mission so as not to waste as much time as I have already" John looks back at nym giving her a small smile as he studied nyms face letting his gaze wander
Nym exhaled shakily partly from fear and partly due to his now wandering eyes "Well then hurry back, please. And be safe and careful, I beg of you." Nym looks at John for a moment "John, before you leave can I ask you for something?"
John nods when he returns his gaze back up to nyms face with a soft smile "I will try love. And yes….what is it that you want to ask?"
Slowly Nym reaches out and removes John's helmet "A kiss, one for the road… and one to hold us over till you get back?" Nym takes a small step closer to John
Johns face softened into a tender expression before leaning in giving nym a soft kiss letting it linger as long as he could try to. He pulls back and searches nyms eyes with a small smile feeling at peace again hoping it would last until he got back "Kiss and more were that came from when I get back…." John laughs softly then he points to nyms hands "Care to knight me with my helmet?"
Nym giggles at John's implications. She looks down at the helmet with a small frown, however she nods and places his helmet back on his head "Please be safe for me."
John peers through the eye slits in the helmet then he nods making the helmet shimmer slightly against the light shining into the tent "I will always return back to you. No matter what I have to do to accomplish coming back I will make sure to always come back. Meanwhile. The camp ladies and others are more than eager to show you around and talk with you while I'm gone. Or you can ask opal for a ride or anything embarrassing from her about me" John smiled and it made his eyes seem warm and inviting before he steps up to nym giving her a much needed and long hug
