Arcaea/Dining Hall/Time Off
Arlian strode through Remton after cutting through the red tape preventing a minor noble's trading house from stocking goods imported from Arcachon (which had taken far longer than it ought, with very little accomplished in the end), and kept his eyes open. Harmony had returned with the main army today, and was going to try and grab a few hours with her before she returned to the field...Ah, there she was. Looked like she'd been talking with one of the blacksmiths, and her captain (a soldier Arlian vaguely recognized) was accompanying her. Arlian's smile brightened as he waved to her, and strode faster.
Sir Arlian Bedwyr (Knight of Orbeh)
Harmony was not having the greatest day. The equipment repairs for her troop had taken longer and cost more than she had anticipated. She might have a lot more resources in her new life, but that didn’t mean that she cared to be spending more of them than she had to be. Additionally, there were very few of the top quality infantrymen that she had really wanted to recruit available. With the delays and lack of recruits, she was likely to be in Remton at least another day. Honestly, Harmony wouldn’t have minded if she’d had any word from Arlian. In fact, an extra day—if she could spend it with him—would be lovely.
Harmony finished her negotiations with the blacksmith and left the supervision of the work in her Captain Samuel’s capable hands. She was just contemplating how to fill the rest of the afternoon when...there he was.
It was astonishing how the sight of Arlian heading in her direction could fill her with such joy. She stood still and just...watched him...smiling happily. When he was just a few steps away, she flung herself at him and, wrapping her arms around him, kissed him passionately, right there in the street. That ought to shake him up.

Arlian oomphed as Harmony threw herself around him, and clasped his own arms around her, torn between flushing and grinning like a loon. Grinning seemed to win after a few moments, although his cheeks were tinged a bright pink.
"Well, that takes care of the first question...And for the second..."
Arlian was forced to pause again as Harmony kissed him by surprise. He rather thought she enjoyed doing that to him. Not that he minded...
"Phew...Ah...Where was I? Oh, yes, questions...How have you been? Reports from the front seemed to be good, and the refit seems to be very orderly, but...One wonders."
Sir Arlian Bedwyr (Knight of Orbeh)
When she pulled back to let him breathe, Arlian was pink. Harmony loved making him blush. She also loved the smile on his face as he looked at her. She stroked his cheek.
“I’ve been well-enough, sweet. A war-campaign’s a bit like treasure-hunting...only with forty men around me for company. The battles...well...I’m getting on all right...” she paused, looking at him, “I’ve done easier things...but enough of that..I’ve missed you.”
She smiled warmly at him, “Do you know that I’ve never missed any man before?” Harmony laughed, “Mind you...I never loved any man before, so there you go...I guess the missing goes with the loving.”
She tucked her hand into his and drew him along the street, “How much time do you have? And how much of it can you spend with me? ‘Cause, I have plans for you,” she looked at him sidewise and gave him a slow smile, “Lots and lots of plans.”

"Mmm...You know...I rather enjoy being missed. It's a new sensation for me. And...My dear brother Jenred has released me for 'the duration of the refit', so I'm all yours until you have to take off again..."
Arlian winked at Harmony as they began walking.
"And if you aren't ready to walk by the time you leave, having done enough riding to keep you sore in the meantime, then I'll eat my hat."
Sir Arlian Bedwyr (Knight of Orbeh)
Harmony laughed in delight. She loved that kissing him in public made him blush...and then he rejoindered with such charming wickedness.
“Arlian Bedwyr! I simply have no idea what you are talking about,” she lied with a smile, “However, if you’d like to walk a little faster, the rooms I’ve taken are just around the corner...and you can...explain...exactly what you’re getting at...I assure you...I’ll be very...attentive.”
Lady Harmony Kindon (Dame of Nocaneb)
Arlian grinned. This was going to be a good day, indeed...Of course, the view as Harmony lead him up the stairs to the room she had in mind was...Mmm, quite nice...
Shortly thereafter, coherent thought flew out the door...In an identical arc with her leather vest, actually...
