She only shrugged. "He was an easy opponent. And I couldn't just let you die. Though, speaking of the fight, I should probably get cleaned up a bit." Eliza reached up and touched the spot where the arrow had grazed her head. The wound had stopped bleeding, but at her touch, a few drops of blood ran down her face. Eliza winced, but she put on a smile.

Alain's eyes widened. "Don't treat it like it's just a scratch! That could easily get infected! Do you have gauze? Bandages? Is there a physician I can run to to get some?"

"Stop worrying, I'm fine!" she sighed, wiping the blood from her face. "Yes, I have some bandages." Eliza moved to a set of drawers, searching through a few of them before pulling out a roll of cloth bandages.

Carefully, he wrapped the wound, careful not to let hair get stuck in the bandages. "I can't believe you forgot about this until now."

"I could've wrapped it myself, Alain..." she murmured. "Thank you, though... And trust me, I'll be fine."

"Well, I can't help but fret," he sighed. "This was all my fault. If I hadn't brought you in... or just was more insistent that you run before he could shoot you..."

"I wasn't going to run!" Eliza snapped. "If I had, you would've been dead! It's not your fault, either. You had no idea there was going to be an assassin."

"That doesn't mean I had to drag you into it! If someone has a vendetta against me, they can attempt murder, sure. But it's not fair for me to let you take the hits!"

"Well that's just too bad, isn't it?" she sighed. "Alain...it was my personal choice to put myself in harm's way. I knew what the consequences could be, but I didn't want that image in my mind of you lying dead on the floor to become reality, alright?"

He sighed, frowning. "Just don't pull a stunt like that again. If someone tries to kill me, don't pull any heroics. Just save yourself. This guy wasn't skilled, but the next few probably will be."

He rolled his eyes. "Of course not. Don't even know why I tried."

Eliza smiled. "Great. I'm glad we understand each other." After a few moments, she sighed. "I'm just glad you didn't get hurt."

"I am too," she chuckled, leaning forward and wrapping him in a hug. "Sorry if I scared you, but you're going to have to get used to it."

He embraced her, sighing. "Well, out of us two, you're the one that's more qualified for fighting."

"You're right about that," she teased lightly, resting her chin on his shoulder.

He laughed. "I'm no fighter. I just hope that I won't be too much of a cowardly king."

"I have a feeling you won't be," she said. Eliza pulled away, albeit reluctantly. Alain's embrace had been warm and comforting, and...
Eliza buried those thoughts quickly, clearing her throat. "Well, let me get out the blankets for you..."
