He places his hand on her cheek lifting her head to look into her eyes. "Love you are worth more then a single night of lovemaking. I just want you to be happy and content." He leans in kissing her softly slowly deepening it. After a moment he breaks the kiss stroking her lips softly. "Would you like to head out now?"
 
The sides of her lips curve a little into a small smile as she nods her yes, "Yes. It will take a few hours to get back still. We best face our fate sooner rather than later."

As the two of them got ready and came out they found their horses fed and ready to go. The priest was there to met them as well, handing them a piece of paper, "This is the proof of your marriage. You put need to sign it yourselves. The original copy with your seal upon it shall remain save here with us. May the gods bless you both."
 
He smiles as he slips his cloak on kissing her cheek once more. "Alright then. The priest should have our horses ready for us."

Lund smiles at the priest as he signs the paper then presents the paper to Kiana to sign. "We both thank you for this Priest. We didnt have any other place to turn to." He gives the man a hug thanking him before moving to Kiana's horse ready to help her up.
 
After signing the paper, Kiana goes to hand the quill back to the priest, giving him a quick peck on the cheek, "Thank you. You will never know just what kind of gift you have given us..." she told him before going to Lund's side by her horse. She gave him a kiss upon the lips before he helped her to mount up. As they departed, she waved good bye and yelled out her thanks once again to the priest.
 
He smiles as he rides next to her gently. "I think you made him blush darling." He laughs as he stretches out stifling a soft yawn. He clears his throat as he takes his water pouch sipping from it before offering it to her. "I certainly will be glad to have my warm bed tonight. ALong with my wife." He smiles as he nudges the horse abit faster.
 
She takes a drink from the pouch before nudging her own into step with his, handing the pouch back to him, "Let's just hope that you still have a bed to sleep in. They could always kick you out into the streets you know, for going against their wishes."
 
He shrugs quietly as he hangs his pouch from his saddle. "Well if that happens I still have you my love." He reaches over to take her hand squeezing it and kissing it softly. "My parents will forgive me. They have never stayed mad at me for very long."
 
She left the matter at that for the time being. She hoped he was right.

Hours later, his home came into sight once again. Even from a distance, one could see a flurry of activity. Clearly, it was known that he was missing. For as they came into the sight of others, they seemed to stop and watch him pass. It was like that all the way until they entered into the manor courtyard once again. Kiana grew tense, wondering what kind of greeting they would get.
 
He seems to ignore most of the stares they recieve. He slips from his horse handing it off to a stable boy. He smiles as he moves to Kiana's side helping her down quickly. "Just ignore the stares darling. And dont forget no matter what happens. I love you ok?" He smiles kissing her lips softly.
 
She tries to seem confident, nodding but going pale as she notes a few very key figures come into her view. "Lund..." she whispers as she watches Lily, Jak, Lund's mother, and father all approach them. Lily and Jak hold back while Lund's mother and father come all they way to within a few feet of them. Tense silence filled the air.
 
Lund turns at her saying his name noting his family coming out towards them. He swallows softly as he takes her hand holding it gently as he moves to meet his parents. He shifts his hand to let it be seen clearly that Kiana is wearing his signet ring. "Mother..Father. Kiana and I are married now." He gives her hand another squeeze watching their face.
 
Every face had a different reaction to the news. Lily gasped and her hands quickly rose to cover her shocked yet slightly smiling lips. Jak crossed his arms and his face clearly started to flood with anger. His mother seemed to almost start to smile a moment before it vanished and she became a stone cold expression of serious, sternness. This father's face didn't seem to change at all. It was his mother though that spoke first, "Lund... you knew your father's order. What were you thinking?"
 
Lund pulls Kiana close wrapping his arm around her protectively. His eyes glance at Lily catching the smile before she is able to cover it. "I followed my heart mother. I recall you telling me I should listen to it more mother." He gives Kiana another gentle squeeze holding on to her. "Im sorry I broke fathers orders but this is what we wanted."
 
The silence returned again as everyone just seemed to glance around from one to the other before all eyes eventually ended up upon Lund's father. It didn't matter what any of them thought, it all rested upon his reaction to this action and this news. If he accepted the matter, everyone else would have to. If he sent the away, everyone else night not like it, but they would not stop it.
 
Lunds father stares at the two of them for the longest of times his jaw working silently as anger at his sons disobediance flushes through him. His eyes glance towards his wife for a moment before turning back to the pair. "I will change the arrangements for the girl to marry your brother. But you my son are ordered to stay in the castle. I wont accept any more disobediance."

Lund smiles softly hearing his fathers words of acceptance turning to hug Kiana tightly kissing her fully on the lips.
 
Kiana felt her whole body just go weak. If Lund had not throw his arms around her as he did, she'd likely be a puddle on the floor at that moment. "Oh my..." she squeaked out on a very, VERY heavy sigh. Before she could even think to do anything else, Lily came running up to them, bouncing up and down. "I have a sister! Oh my goodness! Well, I mean I have another sister but a new sister never the less!"

While Lily bounced around in joy around them, Kiana's eyes looked up and caught a glimpse of Jak's back as she stormed off into the castle. He did not look happy at all. But Kiana could not dwell on that at the moment. Their marriage had been accepted!
 
Lund laughs softly at Lily's reeaction. His arms stay tight around her waist making sure to keep her up. He slips one arm free to hug both Lily and Kiana softly. He places a soft kiss on the Kiana's cheek before releasing Lily. His arms then move back to Kiana lifting her up and starting to carry her inside the castle. "You looked worried for a minute love."
 
Her arms instantly went to wrap around his neck to hold herself to him as he lifted her feet up off the ground. "I was worried," she told him as he walked along with her, going to were she didn't really know, but she'd know when they got there. "I was frightened that they would still not accept this. And I don't think your brother is to happy for us. He stormed off in a huff."
 
Lund carries her lovingly to his room nudging the door open with a foot. Inside are two maids cleaning up who jump when he enters. "Both of you out. I wish to spend time with my wife." He lays Kiana on the bed kissing her lips softly. He then turns closing and locking the door before moving back to lay next to her softly.
 
Kiana instantly seeks the shelter to his arms as she wraps her own around him, turning onto her side as she nuzzled her whole body close to his. "You can finally rest now love. I can tell you did not sleep much at all last night, but now that isn't that horrible worry hanging over us any longer." She nuzzles her head against the pillow and sighs, "And this is much more comfortable then that small bed in the temple's hut from last night."
 
He smiles as his arms wrap around her waist softly. "I think I'd much rather lay here and hold my beautiful wife for awhile." The last word is distorted slightly as he yawns but nuzzles against her neck taking in a deep breath. "I thought father was going to snap on us darling. I'm glad he accepted us." he turns her head kissing her passionately.
 
"I thought so as well," she confessed against his lips, not really pulling hers far from his once the kiss was over. Just enough to rest of tip of her nose against the tip of his. "I do worry a little that your brother might be the one to snap. He is now suddenly to be forced into a marriage that was meant to be yours. Don't you fear he will have something to say about that? He doesn't seem like the type to want an unwanted wife."
 
His fingers ease along her back working at relaxing her slowly. "My brother will do what he can to disrupt at first. Then he will accept our decision." He slips his hand down to her leg rubbing softly. He let's out another soft yawn his eyes starting to slip shut as he lays his head in her chest listening to her heart as it beats.
 
She raises one of her hands to rest upon the back of his head, stroking his hair and his head softly. "You need to sleep. You're tired and have not slept well in days. Let us take this golden chance at napping in his big, comfy bed, and rest for a little while. We do after all have all the time in the world for us now."
 
A single eye opens glancing at her gently. "I havent slept well since the mountains. I love you darling. I want you to be safe." He pulls her close holding on to her tightly. His single eye starts to slip shut once more his head moving to rest against her chest softly once more. "I dont want to see you hurt anymore."
