Well that cinched it; Sally let out a husky breath and closed her eyes for good as the hedgehog's fingers traced along her scalp. Unable to tear herself away, the squirrelmunk's body went fully limp against Sonic's torso, and she soon drifted off into a deep sleep. With floaty hearts dancing about her head.

As the two slept peacefully in each other's embrace time in the real world slipped by quickly. Soon there came a gentle, though firm, knock from beyond their door. "Princess? Are you in there?" spoke a man's voice with a British sounding accent.

No answer came from within. Although he may have been greeted by one of Sonic's stray snores.

Frowning slightly to himself, Rob quickly found himself with one hand on the knob and another pressed to the door with a look of contemplation. This did seem the most likely place to find her, so a quick peek inside to confirm or deny the suspicion couldn't hurt... Gently pressing the handle and keeping his opposite hand on the door to steady it, he peered into the darkened room. "Are you here, Princes-eh-EH-WHOA!" the archer yelped in startlement as he caught a glimpse of the two bodies embraced, quickly slamming the door back shut and leaning against it with wide-eyed surprise.

Sonic stirred a little at Rob's shouting, but his door slam woke him up with a start. He sat up, arms still wrapped around Sally like she was his teddy bear. "Wazzit?"

Hearing the response from inside caused a reflexive twitch of the turquoise hedgehog's ear. Still bristling slightly from beneath his hood, Rob drew down a deep gulp of air to steady his nerves. "Ah... hello...? It's Robert Hedge," he said awkwardly, now finally peeling himself from away from the door. "Could you in, er, inform Her Majesty it's time for the war meeting?"

"Oh, you..." Sonic muttered, fuzzy memories of his talk with Sally slowly returning... along with the feelings. Unconsciously hugging Sally tighter to himself, he laid back down. "Come back...later."

Meanwhile, Sally never stirred the slightest bit. Noise had never particularly disturbed her rest, and such a subtle movement was hardly enough to rouse her, either. The squirrelmunk slept as soundly as ever, happily sandwiched between Sonic's arms and chest.

The archer uncomfortably grit his teeth and sucked in a deep breath through their spaces. "Sir, I'm sorry to, ah... disturb the two of you... but the meeting is already assembled. We require the princess now."

"...Now?" Sonic echoed moodily, not wanting to give up Sally's comforting presence, especially not to this hooded, funny colored, probably fake accented, hedgehog.

"... I just said that, yes," Rob frowned. He tried not to sound frustrated, but it was obviously beginning to seep into his tone.

Post by Lans on May 1, 2009 22:04:45 GMT -5
Sonic hesitated a few moments more. "...You're sure?"

And as he often did in the face of frustrating circumstances, Rob sucked in a deep breath and slowly released it through his nose. Once his nerves had settled his hand shot for the door handle... and then paused just before grasping it, hovering there. Thinning his mouth, he closed his fist, then opened it again. He did this for a couple of rounds, mentally preparing himself, and then, finally, grabbed it and swung it open... while keeping his eyes firmly shut and his head lowered. "Your majesty!" the archer shouted urgently. "We need you in the war room!"

Speaking of eyes shut and head lowered, Sally continued to remain still, with no response other than the gentle pull and release of breath.

"Hey man, what do you think you're doing!" Sonic shouted back. "I'll wake her, geez, now get out of here or...or you're giong to have really messy shoes!"

Wake her? Slowly the archer dared to crack one of his eyes open just enough to peer down at the couple. Soon the other joined it and Rob found himself staring incredulously at the innocent sight before him. This was what he was being given such a hard time over?! His lips thinned. "If you're done playing games I would like to see to the safety of my village now."

What that stuck up... "Who's playing? We came all the way out here to help didn't we?" Sonic said crossly. "Now if you'll excuse us, I'll wake Sal up, from a nap she probably deserves, for you, ok?"

And once again Rob found himself pulling in that deep breath and exhale. "Alright. Fair enough," he said, placing both hands up defensively and heading toward the door. He paused in the frame for a moment, glancing back. "Please excuse me. Someone I... care very much about... has been effected by this. The sooner all of this can be cleared up, the better." The door shut behind him.

"..." Ok so that may have knocked some of the wind out of his sails. Sonic sighed, looked down at Sally and shook her gently. "Wakey time Sal..."

" Mmn..." The sleepy squirrelmunk groaned, her eyes blinking groggily. " Sonic?" Sally sucked in a deep yawn before curling up against his body again. " What's up?"

Sonic gave her a half-smirk. "You need to be...apparently," he told her reluctantly.

"Mmm..?" Blinking her eyes open a second time, Sally rubbed at them gently and glanced around the room -- and instantly recalled her situation. The squirrelmunk bolted upright with an incredibly loud gasp and practically flew over Sonic to get off the bed. "Oh SHOOT!! I'm late!!"

Unfortunatly...in her haste she pressed down on a certain part of the hedgehog that was a little sensitive right now... "Ulp!" Sonic quickly rolled over and scrambled for the bucket that had been beside his bed, his speed of great aid to him as he managed to get in position just before horking up the rest of his stomach contents.

A second gasp escaped the squirrelmunk's throat at the sound of Sonic's wretching. "Oh, Sonic, I'm so sorry!!" Sally sputtered, ungracefully hopping in an attempt to hastily pull her boots on. Once both of her feet were securely covered, the princess raced to Sonic's side and re-opened the canteen. "Here, take another drink. I'll come back and check on you again when the meeting's over!" Planting a quick kiss on his temple, she turned on her heel and raced for the door -- and just before reaching it, skidded to a stop as a realization hit her. "Wait, where'd I leave Nicole??"

"...Guh," haven't seen here Sal, sorry," Sonic said after taking another drink of water.

At this point, another knock came at the door, although quieter and much less urgent in it's volume and tempo.

Such a calm knock was a nice contrast to the sudden chaos in the lodge. Momentarily abandoning her search for her computer, Sally bounded to the door and pulled it open, expecting to find Robert Hedge crossly waiting on her.

@cyril@ However, she was instead met by the greyed face of Dr. Forrester. Giving a warm smile, he nodded to the princess.
"It's good to see you awake. After such a long travel I imagine you needed that rest."

Sally could only blink in surprise until she found her voice. "...Oh! Hello again, doctor!"

@cyril@ Another smile. "Hello to you too!", and then onto business... "Now, how is the young gentleman today? Is he feeling any better?"
