OOC: post Prisoner. Strongheart pays a visit to his wife while she's asleep
Celise slept quietly in her now lonely bed. She missed curling up against Strongheart's firm body, missed his soft growling in his sleep - a canine trait that would not leave him - and the feeling of being protected.
She was grateful that Mali had moved in with them, especially since her health had taken a serious decline as the date of the impending birth drew ever closer. Shining Glory was often at her bedside, checking her health every time she had to cough or breathed funny. Mali had been a sheer blessing - getting everyone to leave the ill maiden alone.
She stirred slightly, having heard movement near the foot of her bed but was too tired to care and drifted back off to sleep.

Strongheart stood at the edge of Celise's bed not moving any closer, he didn't want to wake her but he had to see how she was doing. She couldn't see him like this, Strongheart couldn't bear to see his face so he could only imagine what Celise would make of it.

Celise slept soundly - for the first night in an age, almost as if she was comforted by the presence of the man in the room with her.

Strongheart sighed as he watched his wife sleep, he wanted to be with her but thanks to Ravenwaves knew that would not be possible.
Moving to the side of her bed, Strongheart brushed her hair out of her face and watched her sleep, he really shouldn't even be here but he couldn't stay away.

Celise stirred in her sleep again and started to cough, her fragile body wracked by the strength of the coughing spasm.

"Be strong, My Love." Strongheart whispered to her as he kissed her forehead. It pained him to see her like this and know that there was nothing he could do about it.

Celise fell back asleep after hearing the soft soothing voice of her husband. She had to be strong, had to get better for him and for the baby.

Strongheart continued to watch over his wife as she slept, eventually the hour grew to late for him to stay and Strongheart made to leave.

Leaning down, Strongheart kissed her forehead once more before slipping out the window just as the first light of the morning broke the horizon.

Sometime later, Mali peaked into Celise's room to see how she was this morning.

Celise stirred slowly, her cheeks wet from tears she cried during the night. "Hey," she murmured, seeing her dearest friend.

"Morning, how are you feeling this morning?" Mali asked, falling into a usual routine between the pair.

"Been better," she breathed softly.

"Feeling up to eating?" Mali asked, moving from the door to sit on the side of Celise's bed.
