Egon feared when he would have to pull away, but he knew the guard was right. It was getting colder by the second and he didn't want to get caught on this road by a crowd of people leaving the fairgrounds. Pulling at her hand, he stepped back and brought her with him. "You're right, let's go." Egon held Anfrih close to his side as they continued on their way towards the nearest village.
Once there, Egon went to the stables first, placing a hand on the wooden gate as he peeked inside to check on their horses. He wasn't wary of them running off, but he wouldn't put it past some poor sod to do something to their horses while they were gone. It had been a few hours and just because he was somewhere he had never been before didn't mean people here were magically more welcoming to his kind. He followed Anfrih into the tavern, but the pair went straight up the stairs towards their room. He was far too tired to think about a drink, instead all his body was craving was a warm place to sleep.
Verris brought her hand up to cover his his, her fingers softly running over his as he caressed her face. "Then I should get going, before it gets too cold." Before he could step out of her way, the princess grabbed him by his shirt so he couldn't and pressed another kiss to his lips. She knew later in the night she would probably lie awake in bed and dream of him and come the morning, she would be wondering if all of this had been made up by her own imagination. When their lips broke apart for the final time, Verris took in a deep, trembling breath and just let her hand drop to his, before stepping away from the fence and pulling him in the direction of the the shore.
She was fighting the urge to wrap her arms around him and tell him that she loved him by the time they arrived, but she didn't think that was a very good idea. "I don't think I'll see you again until I'm ready to leave." She glanced across the sea at the the academy looming in the distance before turning her attention back to Geralt.
