[ the days are rather chilly this time of year -- it's the reason why he was dressed in two layers with another cloak draped over one shoulder. walking briskly, paying the scenery no mind (he didn't have much of an interest in them) before finally spotting the little table for two and anna's back.

smiles softly while approaching, making as little noise as possible while slipping off the cloak at the same time so that he can place them them over anna's shoulders when he gets in range. leaves his hands on those shoulders as he leans in a tad to murmur. ]

It's amazing that you haven't caught something already.

No. I believe it may take more than one perpetrator.

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

Oh? Does this make you my accomplice?

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

It might. But do keep it a secret. I do have an image to maintain.

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

Of course. Your secret is safe with me.

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

Do I have your word?

[ turns slightly towards him, removing an arm from its hold. gently takes one of robert's hands and presses it against his chest, right over his heart. ]

Always.

[ recovers a moment later, a smile touching his lips as he chuckles. ]

Then my secret could be safer with no other.

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

[ allows his hand to linger above robert's for a moment, releasing him after he's satisfied. ]

I am glad you have such faith in me.

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

Be assured that it's a privilege that not many else enjoy.

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

[ places a hand over his mouth, lightly chuckling. ]

Is that so.

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

[ strokes the side of annabelle's face gently, briefly. ]

Would I lie?

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

[ closes his eyes with the touch. ]

Not to me, I would hope.

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

. . . no. Not to you. Not unless it is necessary.

[ looks down at the ground, a touch of a smile on his lips. ]

Thank you.

[ one more brush against the cheek with his knuckles & the hand drops. ]

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

. . . so. Is the cold bothering you yet?

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

[ rests his temple upon robert's shoulder. ]

Not with you here, no.

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

[ loops an arm loosely around annabelle. ]

Now I'm forced to admit that it is starting to bother me. Shall we head inside?

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

[ chuckles briefly, quickly deciding against teasing him. ]

I suppose that is the best course of action, yes.

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

[ sniffs indignantly for show, but starts leading them toward the castle. ]

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

[ shakes his head fondly, keeping to the silence as they go along. ]

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

[ is half-way toward their destination when a thought strikes him, making him slow his pace a tad. ]

Have you considered hiring a guard?

[ blinks, taken back momentarily. ]

A guard?
