Summary
Aranessa hadn't stopped shaking.
Julien thought, or maybe just hoped, that it had eased a little after she'd eaten. She'd curled up in bed without argument, beneath the druid-warmed blanket, but even facing away from him, he could tell she wasn't asleep. Her breathing had the faintest little shudder to it, and her grip on the blanket was a little too tight.
Julien watched the shift of her shoulders and the dense fall of her hair in the dark and felt utterly helpless.
Or: Lying together in the dark, Julien tries to take care of his lady as best he can, and maybe needs a little caring for himself.

Summary
“Don’t – d-don’t leave me –”
“Never,” he swears, “never, my lady –”
“I dreamed you f-fell – with the others – I was the only one l-left – don’t leave me, Julien, don’t – don’t ever leave me, I c-can’t – lose you too –”
“You won’t,” the oath falls from his lips as easily as breathing, he cups her cheek to tilt her tear-stained face up to his so she can see the truth of it in his eyes, “you won’t, I swear it, I will cut down anyone who dares to think they can take me from you, I will never have any home that is not by your side, I am yours, Aranessa –”

Summary
"You're not doing so well, Sir Davinos," Aranessa says lightly. "Are you tired of the ball?"
"Ever perceptive, my lady." Julien's bow is precise, regimented, rehearsed - exactly as deep as it needs to be to convey respect to the other Houses, and not an inch more. Trust him, of all people, to treat a social situation like a combat encounter. "What gave it away?"
"The hunched shoulders, mostly. Also the frowning, and the general air of aggression."
That coaxes a laugh out of him, a low, barking thing. He snorts, rolls his eyes at Aranessa for the barb, and she finds herself hard pressed not to smile, yet again.
It's easy to be informal around him. Too easy. It's part of why she tries to keep some degree of distance at events like this, more for her sake than his. She can't let the mask slip - but with him, the temptation has always been to forgo it entirely.
***
Julien is woefully out of practice in the ways of dance. Aranessa is more than happy to help teach him.
