Everyone shall be friends...
Archer
Rebecca was relieved. She wasn't sure how Saber would react to being touched softly; however she didn't seem offended, just... surprised? Saber was wearing an adorable expression of surprise! Perhaps the candy was sweeter than she had expected?
Rebbeca's happy mood plummeted to the floor with Saber's gaze as she suggested they both turn in for the night. Her first reaction was to reject the suggestion. They were having fun! And bonding! Becoming friends! And... and... she wasn't alone. She hated being alone. She was always alone. Despite her efforts, she was simply born alone. She grew up alone with the Shamans, simply considered a respected outcast by her Tribe. She had fought alone on the Church's order, wishing and praying that her efforts would united the new and old people of the land. She had even died alone. She hadn't blamed John for leaving her though, he had left to take Thomas off the boat first before returning to take her. No child should witness their mother's death, if anything it was a blessing... but a dark part of her still wished they both had stayed... she had been so scared, cold, and alone.
Rebecca shook her head. What was wrong with her! Such dark thoughts had no place right now. It truly had been a long trying day... but it was still a happy one. But even happy days had to end. Rebecca moved to rise from the bed to escort her (as far as she was concerned) friend to the door.
She was perplexed when the king of knight's jacket fell to the floor...
She was dumbfounded when her pants followed...
Pocahontas; wide eyed, could only stare in stupefied amazement as the knight stood before her in the prettiest and smallest undergarments she had ever seen on another person and let her blonde hair down. The woman was beautiful, and instantly seemed more human with her hair unbounded and unrestrained. The blonde woman approached the bed and Pocaho- no! Lady Rebecca! Rapidly recalled all her romantic experiences with woman in England. Many noble women had sought her affections in love, her exotic appearance had interested them, but she had been married and taken oaths with John to refrain from sharing love until the other had been taken by death. The most intimate experiences she had with other women had been faint touches, whispered affections, and swiftly stolen kisses, as they attempted to charm her into their beds. Never had she thought she would regret not having that experience in her next life.
Bringing her hands up to try and slow the knight and tell her... something! She wasn't sure yet! She attempted to calm her mind and heart.
Only for Saber to not see her panic and crawl into the covers on the far side of the bed...
Equal parts relief and frustration seeped into Rebecca's soul; exhausting the remaining strength she had left. How silly she had been thinking Saber suddenly desired her!
Not willing or even having the will to think further on the matter until the sun rose again, Pocahontas climbed under the covers and joined the King of Britain in bed. With Saber facing away, Rebecca decided to do the same... until she spoke. Saber wanted for her to ask a question, swearing she would answer it truthfully.
Matoaka thought deeply for a long moment. Searching her soul for a worthy question to ask...
"When I was alive I was always alone. As Shaman, people were respectful, but scared of me. I never had a single friend as a little girl. I always dreamed of friendship, and when I got older I dreamed of romance." Her voice a whisper, Matoaka wasn't sure why, but felt it right to turn over in the sheets and face Saber's back as she talked.
"I married a man after I was kidnapped. It wasn't a forced marriage or anything so terrible. He loved me and was a good man. Our union brought peace to my people and his too... he gave me my son... but..." Pausing the Powhatan girl cleared her throat. It was silly, why was she getting emotional for no reason?
"I was never truly happy. I should have been but I wasn't. It was sinful I wasn't in love, and it wasn't fair... but I wasn't. I think deep down I hated that I was doing what I felt was the right thing to do... for everyone else's happiness... expect for mine." Pretending she didn't feel a silent tear fall she asked her question.
" I never got to experience true love. My duty tainted any chances I may have had to experience it. Even unrequited love... I wish I had experienced even that... Was there ever a time when you were truly in love with someone?"
