Tamar's eyelids fluttered open and she looked into Silas's face. She smiled. "Hello," she said quietly. "Did I doze off?" She chuckled knowing that she must have. Then she realized that he had lifted her from the floor and she scolded him. "Mr. Hawkeye, you put me down. You're going to open up that leg wound again."

Silas first nodded at Tamar, answering her qestion with a small grin. That grin widened a bit as she scolded him. "Oh, nonsense, miss. If it stayed as is all day when I was runnin' about, I'm sure it's fine." He reassured her, making as if to put her down nonetheless.

"No doubt due to my wonderful bandaging abilities," she grinned back at him. Now standing on her own two footpaws it made her a little sad not to be so close to him. "Oh Silas," she sighed, wanting to tell him a thousand things, but she only voiced the most important. "I do love you."

Silas smiled. What reason did he have to not believe the squirrelmaid? Out of reflex he gave her a brief kiss on the cheek and replied, "I love you too." And of course, he meant it. Every word of it.
After that having been said, he thought after another second or two of looking at Tamar. He wanted to stay with her forever, no matter what was happening around them, the only thing of importance he would ever have to worry about being the lovely maiden standing in front of him. But, life and current circumstances discouraged dreams from becoming true. "Should we, uh, get goin', then?" He asked some moments later, gesturing to the stairs that led to the dormitories.

"Yes, I suppose so," she admitted disappointedly. Holding his paw and staying as close to him as possible they climbed the stairs. The room she shared with Saol was one of the first doors. She remembered how excited they had been when they were allowed to move here from the dibbuns dormitory. They'd been friends a long time, she wasn't so sure now. She could hear the molemaid snoring now on the other side of the door. Tamar sighed. She thought of the bed that awaited her. She'd aways thought was so comfortable before after a long days work but now after she had the experience of falling asleep in Silas's arms, it would just seem cold and lonely. The night ahead seemed endless. Then she remembered the knife in her pocket. "We'll have our lesson tomorrow," she whispered excitedly.

Silas nodded, keeping close as if the walls around them were physically shoving them. "We'll have an hour or two right before lunch." he offered with a grin, his schedule reviewed so many times he could recall it even at this hour.

"It seems like an eternity till then," She remarked while slipping her arms around his neck in an embrace. "I'm not on kitchen duty tomorrow. So I should be able to sleep in but I don't know if I will. Are you going to be at breakfast?"

Silas in return gripped her around the waist, while he still could. "I'll have to be." He explained. "Organizing everybeast and such..." He sighs. It would certainly feel like an eternity until lunch, but the squirrel was often persistent. Looking back down into her eyes, he tried to say something else, but decided it was unimportant as of now.

Tamar tried desperately to think of something else to say because she certainly didn't want to say goodnight. Oh but it was so very hard to think with him looking into her eyes and holding her waist. "Do you think everybeast will know, and tease us unmercifully? You know I don't think I'll mind so much. At least I'll know they're teasing me for something that's true and makes me happy. What do you think you'll teach me in our lesson? Could I sit and watch some of your other training sessions or would it be too distracting for you?" She was babbling now but she just didn't want to be parted from him and short of asking him to kiss her she didn't know what else to do.

Silas, caught up in the rush of words, seemed to follow them, and replied, "I think it won't be a problem if you sit in on the training sessions." Even though he knew she was right. It would be distracting...
After a short pause, he spoke up again. "So, uh, I guess that's it..." He stated blankly, leaning forward again just a tad. Obviously, he wanted to kiss Tamar again before he went off to bed.

Tamar read him perfectly. She stood up on her tip-paws to cut the distance between them and this time she initiated the kiss. She tightened her embrace around his neck to pull him even closer.

Silas leaned down a bit as well, once again caught up in that rushing feeling of warmth mingled with sheer joy. They stood there for a little while, what passed in perception as a mere moment but was really several or more. Finally, reluctantly, he withdrew his lips from Tamar's, looking back at her. "I'd better..." He gestures vaguely down the hall, meaning that he probably should go to bed. It was late as is. "...yeah."

"Yeah," she repeated with a sigh, nodding. She opened her mouth to say something else and then closed it again and smiled. She took a step back, looked down thinking and ten looked back up at him. Tamar took a deep breath, "Till breakfast, Sir." She gave a little curtsy.

Silas grinned his grin again. "Of course, miss." he bowed, "Until then." Turning about, his grin slowly fading, he started off to leave to his room. It wasn't far down the hall, only past the Dibbun's dormitory a ways, placed in a former storage room that he had helped clean out. Opening the door, he stepped in, throwing a last backward glance down the hallway.

Tamar opened the door to her room and then looked down the hall to see if Silas would look back at her. When he did her heart gave a little leap and she waved.
"Could yur close ee door sooz zum beasters could get sum sleep?"
Tamar looked into the room and indeed the light from the torch in the sconce on the hallway wall was falling across the pillow of the Mother Abbess. "Oh I'm sorry," Tamar said softly entering the room and shutting the door behind her. She crossed the room to her own bed and changed into her nightgown. Then she laid down and pulled the covers up to her chin. She sighed. For as tired as she had been down in Cavern Hole she couldn't seem to force her eyelids shut now. She lie there awake thinking of Silas.
"Did ee 'ave a noice wok, Tamer?" the voice finally came from the other side of the room.
Tamar should have known that the molemaid was awake because she was so silent. "Yes," she answered.
"An' did Maister Soilas enjoy et too?"
Tamar smiled. A fact which couldn't be seen in the dark room but could be heard in the tone of her voice. "I believe he did."
"Then you'll forgive Oi fur steppin' in?"
"Of course I will Saol, you're my best friend."
