[gremlin]

She had never felt so passionate with another ever since she had become active with the opposite sex. The warmth of Rhyldrin's body against her own was something that would be burned in her memory. Judith dreaded the days that she craved his warmth the most. He had been so gentle with her, kissing her, caressing her, it was driving her insane. She was now certain that she could never possibly have what she had with Rhyldrin with any other man. Even though she knew it was impossible, she hoped that he would see her again. Though perhaps it would be better for him to stay away from her. She didn't know where she would be in her life, by then she might even be married to the king or not. She couldn't see the future.

Judith felt even more in love with Rhyldrin after their embrace. She wasn't sure if that was a bad thing or a good thing, probably a bad thing. Thinking about him leaving her made her heart hurt even more now, though she knew that there was no one to stop him from doing so. Judith promised herself not to follow him when he left, she knew that he would become angry if he caught her and she would probably lose him anyways. The last thing that she wanted to do was become lost in an unknown territory. Besides if she left then Vrine would want to come too and he would be such a hassle.

Judith's body was close to Rhyldrin's, she rested her head on his chest and began to run her fingers over his stomach playfully. She couldn't help but notice that he had many scars, some of which he had gotten from fighting Brishen. Judith didn't speak much after their embrace, she wanted to enjoy a short silent moment with him. She brought her hand from his stomach to his hand and took it in her own. Judith squeezed his hand tightly in her own, she really didn't want to let go. "Are you leaving now?" she finally asked, she opened her eyes and looked up at him. Why did she even ask? She knew the answer already.
