"Is that his name then? He didn't tell me. He DID inform me, however, that one of the conditions I stay was that we are to wed before the end of the day. So to that end, we are going to be very busy preparing I believe. Who was that that just delivered my things?"
Gemma was a bit surprised at how talkative Orion was being, but she was also pleased by it; it was as though he was trying to make up for all their time apart by giving her as many words as he could. The bit about them getting married, however, had her so confused and ecstatic all at once that for a moment she couldn't even speak.
"Yes, Jacob Sullivan is his name..." she managed finally, "And the other, who came just now, is Cedric McGarret. Both are friends of mine... I hope you will come to like them and enjoy their company, as I do." She stared at her fiance for several seconds in silence, not sure how to ask about the wedding bit, but then he spoke again, saving her the trouble. He also took the time to wrap her hospital gown around her properly, which both amused her and made her throat constrict in a strange happiness.
"Where are we, exactly? It wasn't ever really explained to me. And, I still have yet to show you my animagus form. Let's get you to your room and in bed and we shall cuddle together. I guarantee I shall keep you warm and comfortable."
"No-one told you?" she murmured, frowning slightly, wanting deeply to reach up and stroke her lover's cheek but not having the strength, "These are the headquarters for a society called the Syndicate... we are now within the City of Shadows, underground." The muscles holding her head up finally gave out, and her head flopped against his shoulder. "And yes, please, Ri... I hope you don't mind me saying, but I don't ever want to let you out of my sight again, so that no-one can take you from me..."
She inhaled deeply, feeling tears come into her eyes as she smelled, finally, the cherished scent of her lover: eucalyptus, mint, sage....
"What did you mean, Sullivan... wants us to be married?" she whispered, hardly daring to move as she waited for an answer.
