"Hmm...not quite better, but well enough to take a walk down the hall and back. With help, of course. And the medication the lady-doctor has given me." Sophi was glad he came to visit. It had been nearly a week since she last saw Arjun and being one of the few to hold a conversation with - not just a decent one but a full conversation - she was thrilled he was here. "And you, my lord? Have you been well since last we spoke?"
Her golden eyes watched him as he drew closer, gazing into his face as if he were a breath of fresh air while she nearly drowned in teenage fantasy about who she is or their fly by night romances with the tavern keepers boy. Apparently, there were very few males on this island and mostly run by women. And a very cruel king, if any stories she heard were true.
Based on realities, she liked to think, but exaggerated.
"Ah!! Yes, the books. Thank you, Arjun." His name slipped from her lips as easily as any other word. No airs about her or falsehoods in her address to him. She did not know much about the man other than the servants seemed to avoid him. Even in conversation, sometimes. How strange...
Sophiana shrugged those thoughts away and let her hands slip under his, between the wool of his warm sleeves, as he held up the books. Sliding her finger tips along the backs of his hands and knuckles as she took what he offered. "Hmm~...I might have once read these. But my memory is gone, so somehow this-....these are my first books." her smile turned into soft laughter as she held them carefully to her self, as if hugging or cradling them as one would with a child. They were not very long or heavy, and she could finish them with little trouble, but with how much staying awake could hurt sometimes she would rest away a whole day.
"Will you be able to stay a while with me today, my lord? I'm on a strict schedule of medication and exercise between my rest periods. These-...powders for the pain can make me very tired sometimes. I'm slowly weening myself off them, so I do not become dependent on them once I am much better." She looked to the chair beside her bed and indicated he should sit with her her. On the bed would be much more warm, but he declined last she offered.
