Suddenly Alexis felt shy as she looked in his eyes and quickly looked away. "Well, I'm going to go clean up... I'll see you later."

Alexis came into her room, trembling all over. She lie down on her pallet and began to weep.
Then she leaned over the side and threw up.
She fought for control, and finally got it. She got up and retrieved some supplies to clean up the vomit. Afterwards, after putting a hood over the lantern to snuff out the flame, she lay back down and stared up into the darkness for several hours.

Alexis wakes up in the morning, and dresses in the best clothes she has. This time though, she doesn't bother wrapping herself to hide her feminity.
"Hmph. Like there's much to hide... this shirt hides it pretty well by itself." She says to herself before leaving her room and go to the court. She thought of knocking on Sir Galan's door, but, felt like she had to do this on her own.

Alexis came in and lay down on her bed, hugging her pillow to her. Today was a pivotal day for her, and it seemed overwhelming.
She was overjoyed that after telling the king about her true identity, he let her stay on as squire. Not only that, he ordered new armor to be made for her! Armor that would fit her.
She was also happy that Christian forgave her. She had been attracted to Christian from when she first met him, but couldn't tell him. Now it seems as though he felt the same way...
This was where she became overwhelmed. If Christian and I keep going the way we have been today, what's going to happen? Will I have to leave being a squire behind me if we get married? I don't want that. I like being a squire... it's the one thing I do well.
She hashed out the problem in her mind for quite awhile. She came to the conclusion that her and Christian could only be friends... for now at least. She wasn't ready to leave her position as Sir Galan's squire, and couldn't risk anything that would force her to do so.

((Continued from: knightstable1.proboards56.com/index.cgi?board=castle&action=display&thread=1140842500&page=1#1141538047 )) Galan says with regret, "I am sorry I could not be there for you for moral support.""That's alright, sir. I needed to do this on my own." Alexis replies, then grins. "And I get better fitting armor out of the deal. I should have came clean long ago." Galan chuckles, then looks Alexis in the eyes. "Still, there is something that bothers you. Is it your friend, Christian?"Alexis looks down at her hands as she replies, "Yes, sir." "Give him some time. He might be angry right now, but he'll forgive you..." Galan stopped when he saw Alexis look at him and shake her head."It's not that. He was angry at first, but, we talked and he isn't angry now... but..." She swallows and looks back down at her hands.

"What is it then?"
"I... he... we kissed each other."
Galan waited for more. When none came he says expectantly, "And?"
"Well... if Christain and I... or if I get involved with any guy and get married, I won't be able to be a squire anymore..."

"Oh..." Galan pauses, feeling a bit awkward. "I see."
Alexis felt rather uncomfortable herself. I wish my mom were here to talk to... but then, I wouldn't be here if she were.
Galan looks at Alexis thoughtfully. "What are your goals in life, Alexis?"
She looks up at Galan. "I haven't really thought about it. I mean, ever since my parents died, I've just been trying to survive... and then when you took me as your squire... I just wanted to be the best I could be... I haven't thought beyond that."
Galan nodded. "You have served with distinction, Alexis. I would hate to lose you as a squire. But, if you feel you need to change your course in life, don't let me hold you back."
"But I don't want to change!" Tears flow from her eyes. "I love being your squire! I.. feel I'm doing something worthwile... until this war is over at least, I don't wish to do anything else."

Galan smiles gently. "Then remain my squire... at least until this war is over. Keep in mind, though, marriage and having a family is much more worthwhile than making war."
"I-I didn't mean it that way... I... just.." Alexis blushes at her stuttering. She didn't know just how to say the reason she wished to remain a squire is because she didn't want to leave Galan. He meant the world to her. He was like a father to her, and didn't want to lose him.
"Alexis," he spoke in a soothing tone, "you don't think that if you stop being my squire I won't have anything to do with you, do you?"
He put a hand under her chin. "I care for you as though you were my child. I will always be a part of your life if you let me."
Alexis quickly stood and hugged Galan, who returned the embrace in a fatherly fashion. "I love you too, sir."

After they end the embrace, Galan says. "Alexis, I need to go back into town. Talia was mugged and injured, and is at the healers hall now."Alexis gasps. "Is she alright?" "She will be. But I'd like to go be with her.""You love her, don't you?" "More than life itself. I asked her to marry me."o.O "That was fast! What did she say?" Galan just smiled blissfully."Oh." Alexis had mixed feelings. She didn't know Talia, and didn't know how she would fit in when Galan and her married. She smiled though, and said with as much enthusiasm as she could muster, "Congratualtions. I'm happy for you." "Thank you Alexis." Galan takes his leave and goes to be with Talia.

Alexis leaves her room thinking, I must go speak with Christian.
