She leaned down, her face inches from his, and looked him in the eye. "Then actually take your job seriously, and appoint someone you will think will do a good job." She sighed and stood up. "Those are my terms, take them or leave me....bring your answer to me when it is all done" She walked out of his room, going back to her room.
 
Hearing her, he frowned as he scratched his head when she left. "I already said I want the royal adviser to run everything while I'm gone..." He mumbled to himself as he sat down on the bed and looked out the window. "Synthia...I've ruined your life...didn't I...? Dammit...!" He said as he bit his lip, trying not to cause himself to cry.
 
(( Well, it was meant to make you actually get up and appoint the adviser or whoever, instead of me having to do it ))

Opening her door, she walked in and sighed heavily. She turned and laid down on her bed, rubbing her eye. She sat there, tired, even thought it was only barely becoming noon.
 
(I was going to get to that >_< I didn't want to just skip straight to that without adding in the little details along the way.)

Eventually getting up, Nathan left the room and walked past her door. He eyed it for a bit before continuing to walk to find his adviser. Eventually he found him in the library and spoke with him about the situation he was in and appointed him as the ruler of the kingdom while he was out of the kingdom's grounds...and even signed a document to say so. Turning to walk to Synthia...he hoped she would come with him with her own free will...not because he was ordering her to.
 
Still laid out on her bed, she felt her belly rumble and, groaning softly, stood up. Making sure she looked presentable, she left her room, heading down into the kitchens. Several of the cooks greeted her, and she greeted back with a warm smile on her face, she had always loved the kitchens. Cooked meat, sweets, and other aromas filled her senses. "Tomas!" She yelled in greeting to her best friend, the elder cook. "Why Synthia, good afternoon to you, care to taste some of my masterpieces, eh?" She giggled and hugged the elderly cook, he smelt of cinnamon. "I wouldn't miss one of your meals for all the gold in the Earth." She picked up one of his cinnamon rolls and bit into it expectantly. "Mmmmmm, this is even better then your last batch!" He laughed and nodded. "I have been experimenting with the ingredients, that batch had a touch more cinnamon and flour, plus a pinch more of sugar." She nodded and lifted the remaining bun up, inspecting it. "You really know how to make something look beautiful, Tomas. Never make something average." She finished off the roll and sighed. "I'm afraid this will be my last visit for awhile, my friend..." He looked up in confusion and sat on the table opposite of her. "Why? You love the kitchens, I never thought you could keep yourself away for long." She smiled sadly and nodded. "I know, and that would remain the case if Nathan hadn't of returned. But as it happens, I will most likely be leaving soon to travel with him..." The old man nodded and stood up, heading over to a cabinet in the back. "I had always figured something would cause you to travel far...and that day has arrived." He opened the door and poked around inside, pulling out a cooking pot, some pouches, and a few other cooking goods. "I know you have watched me cook for years, and I think it is time for you to learn to cook on your own." He smiled and carried over the gear, setting it down next to her. "I don't know what you will encounter on your journey, but hopefully a empty belly isn't one." She stood there, surprised, and then she hugged the old man tightly. "Easy there, haha, I'm old." She released her grip some, still hugging him. He nodded and hugged back. "Thank you..." She mumbled out. "Think nothing of it my child, now, one last snack together before your departure, eh?" He smiled and walked around the kitchen, picking up his and her favorites, and setting them down on the table. "To adventure." He lifted a small goblet of wine to her. "To food." She raised her's and they laughed, drinking to each other as they enjoyed a meal again, maybe their last.

(( Dang I really got into that, lol. ))
 
(Almost makes me feel bad about this short post T__T. Just woke up)

When all was done, Nathan headed into his room and began to pack his things once more, adding in a few extras to bring on the trip. "I hope Synthia won't be a problem...I really want things to be fixed between us..." Eventually, he was finished and began to walk to her room to see if she was ready.
 
She had her pack all set, sitting on the desk. She was laying down on the bed, sleeping soundly. Her armor and glaive were sitting at the foot of the bed, leaning against each other. She was wearing a black leather vest, and a black cloth skirt. Her tail was laying lazily across her belly, flicking occasionally in her sleep.
 
When he walked in and saw the sight before him, he smiled as he walked over and saw how peaceful and serene she seemed. Reaching over, he shook her shoulder gently. "Hey...Synthia...Wake up. Its time to go...are you ready sleepy lizard?"
 
"I guess so." Her eye popped open and she stood up, sliding on her armor and tossing her pack over her shoulder. "This had better not end up badly, because I really like it here." She lifted her glaive to her shoulder, and allowed Nathan to lead.
 
Frowning as he rubbed the back of his head, he made sure his face wasn't pointed at her as he said to himself "This is going to be a long trip...". Walking on out of the castle, Nathan looked at the castle once more before taking in a deep breath to enjoy the last few moments there. "Well...Lets get going then Synthia...Oh, one last thing...don't treat me like your king. Treat me like any other person...and if it helps, take that as an order."
 
"Pfff, whatever." She hit the back of his head and continued down toward the forest. "You have a destination in mind?"

(( lol, you need to post more, I don't have alot to go on. ))
 
(I'm sorry T__T Really I am.)

Feeling the back of her head, Nathan glared at her for a bit before his eyes softened up a bit. "Well...I don't have a specific destination in mind. Just...go where the road takes me. Thats what I usually do anyway." He shrugged as he patted her shoulder. "I'm glad you came with me Synthia." He wrapped his arm around her and smiled to her. "It'll be just like old times. We'll have a great time as we walk around, trust me!" He said as he laughed a bit. Looking to her, he wondered if she would ever regret coming with him...If she would ever forgive him for what he did to her three years ago. "Say Synthia...Got anything to tell me? Like stories or anything thats happened to the kingdom while I was away for the three years I was gone?"
 
"Hmmmmm, I don't think there is much to tell. The king got over the queen's death after a few months, got back to ruling. The old adviser died, and he appointed the new one. I got to be friends with the kitchen staff...especially Tomas, the head chef. Ooooh, his cooking is the best." She smiled and held her cheek, remembering the meal she had not that long ago. "I will miss that old fart..." She shrugged out of her day dream, turning back to face Nathan. "They village has grown some, I became a knight after I chased down some bandits that had taken several families of farmers..."
 
"Sounds like your life has been pretty exciting to have to do all of that. And lucky...you have a personal chef. I had to eat off the road but...it was worth it. The many recipes I know how to make with raw materials is going to be great for us...assuming we hunt and gather berries and all that. Not just berries, fruits and vegetables as well as animal meat." He rubbed the back of his head as he held his sword's handle as it rest in its sheathe. "I hope you'll enjoy traveling with me Synthia." He said before looking up to see the next town in the far distance from the hill they were on. "Well well...look how time flies huh?"
 
She checked the sky, seeing it was near setting. "Indeed...I don't think we will reach the town before nightfall though." She scanned the nearby treeline, picking out a clearing not that far in. "I haven't slept under the stars in awhile..." She started toward the clearing, readying her weapon just in case.
 
Hearing her, he looked to the sky and said a simple 'huh'. He hadn't ever thought of how wonderful star gazing could be because he had always slept in the outdoors. "Guess I should pay more attention to the little things of life..." He said silently to himself before running to catch up to Synthia. "Synthia, wait up." He said as he walked beside her. "You've never star-gazed before Synthia? Not even once throughout your life in the castle...?" During his times there, he didn't remember ever having Synthia go anywhere without him, and he rarely went outside except to train.
 
"I have sky-gazed some since you left....it lets your mind leave the Earth and think about grander things." She said as she walked into the clearing, seeing a fallen tree laying across a creek. "This should be a decent spot to stay for the night." She unpacked her tent, setting it up near the creek, and went inside once it was done. She set about laying out her bedroll and putting her belongings to the side.
 
Watching her put up her tent, Nathan just sat back against the fallen tree trunk. When she climbed into it, he looked up to the sky and looked at the stars and let out a sigh. He hoped things would be restored between the two of them. Laying down on the grass, he continued to look at the stars as he listened for anything in the woods...though he was moreover listening to Synthia...Wishing she would forgive him. He didn't feel like she would do it in a long time...and it pained him. She was his first love...and he just threw it away by running away from home like a brat. "Well...Its all my fault anyway..." He murmured to himself.
 
She had heard the remark, and smiled some. "I don't know the reference ...but yea, it is." She finished unpacking what she needed, and crawls out, only wearing a loose shirt and tan leggings. "So who's going to do the hunting tonight?" She started to stretch and loosen up her muscles. Her tail curled and uncurled, twitching all over. She leaned over and picked up her glaive, inspecting it to make sure it all still functional.
 
"No need to hunt. I kinda stowed away a bunch of containers of the kingdom food...we'll be set for the next three or so days, if we don't pig out." He said as he unpacked his bag...which was only food and his sword. "Take your pick. It'll be like eating in the castle, only outdoors and the food isn't as fresh." He said as he took out a loaf of bread and began to chow down onto it. He hoped she wasn't a picky eater. He only took what he liked.
 
"Hmmmm, alright..." She walked out toward the trees and started to hack off dead pieces of bark. She chopped at a few trees that were still healthy and brought the wood over to Nathan. She was sweating some, but didn't seem out of breath. She piled the wood into a stack between their two sleeping places, and began to try to make a campfire. After several tries, and many curses, she finally got it going. "Jeez...that sure works up an appetite.." She set her glaive down and picked out a chicken leg, and began to wolf it down.
 
Nathan just sat back and enjoyed the comedy show of her trying to start a fire, when he could have easily done so. He rather thought it was funny to watch her struggle a bit out in the wilderness. When she finally got it started, he laughed at what she said. "And watching you sure worked up an appetite." He said as he brought over the sack of food he had brought from the castle. "Go on and eat. I'm not too hungry right now...which was why I was only eating bread. Eat whatever you want, and however much you want."
 
She savored the food as she ate her full, trying not to make too big a dent in their rations. After she finished, she pulled out her waterskin and took a swig. "Hmmmmm, that was good." She leaned back against another part of the log, and sighed.
 
"Whats wrong?" Nathan asked as he looked at her when she sighed. "Are you that bored of coming already? Or are you regretting it...?" He said with a small pain in his heart. He was still a bit...uneasy with the fact she came. Not because she was there, but because he would bring her into a world that was unlike anything in the castle...it wasn't going to be as exciting as it may have been in the castle and the city surrounding it...but it would have plenty of its own moments for them to enjoy....besides the boring walking.
 
"Oh, its was nothing, just tired," She lied easily, turning to face the fire. Her patched eye was facing him, hiding her other eye as it glazed over some as she remembered her childhood, before she was taken. She sat there, still as a stone, starring into the fire and oblivious to everything else.
