Royal or Loyal? [A garmau AU] ✔️

'Home' [30]

"I'm so glad you guys got to stay, it was good to catch up." Nicole smiled, sipping her coffee.

"Thanks for having us,"

"You know Garroth, Aphmau really is a blessing- DMITRI!"

Aphmau laughs, as Dmitri runs into her as result of running away from Nicole. "Dmitri, be good for your mom, okay?"

"Okay, Lady Jessica."

Then Nicole sent the two off, waving and making sure that they'd come and visit some time soon.

"Garroth to hear footsteps." Aphmau stopped in her tracks, turning to her left, walking steadily toward that direction.

"What-"

"Shh,"  She furrows her eyebrows, slapping a hand over his mouth.  Her guard suddenly going up again.

They pushing a bush aside, it was sure to be there.  Realizing that here was no one.

"Y'know Aph, I didn't expect you to hear me."

She whips around, seeing her favorite power blued friend.  Her arms open as she ran into them.

"I haven't seen you in forever-"

"Shut up, I saw guards and if you didn't forget, you're still wanted."

Garroth casually strolls up to Katelyn, seeing her and smirking.  "Nice seeing you out here, Ms. Firefist."

"I could say the same, Ro'meave."

They all started to walk together, having small conversation while doing so.  Garroth and Aphmau hand in hand, while Katelyn made derogatory remarks about it.

"Is Travis helping you with information on Jeffory?" 

"Yeah."  She answered, smiling to herself and kicking some rocks while at it.

"I so called it."  I shake my head.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"You know exactly what I'm talking about.  You like him don't you?"  She smirks.

"No, I don't."

"Oh.  My.  Irene.  You really do."  She retorts, noticing the slight blush on Katelyn's cheeks.

"I've never recalled Katelyn having a crush-"

"And I never recalled you liking a fugitive, Garroth."  She spat back, getting defensive even before he could talk.

"So what, did you guys kiss?"  She wiggled her eyebrows.

This time, she didn't answer, she crossed her arms, a blush dusting her cheeks, huffing.

"Something tells me they did a little more than just kiss-"

"Okay! If I admit I like him, will you guys shut up?"

"No."

She groaned.  "Maybe I do.  But that doesn't distract me from my mission.  I'm trying to find Abby too, you know."

"Well, when you do, let us know."  Garroth says, reassuring her.

"I will.  We have a little camp set up right outside O'Khasis.  Come visit anytime. Or if you need to hide."

"How specific, Katelyn.  There are so many places right out side of O'Khasis."  Aphmau rolled her eyes.

"Where it gets coldest in the winter."  She simply answered back.

"Oh, Irene why there?"

"It's nice there."

"So if I have a son, and I need to hide my son, you guys will take care of my son?"  Aphmau theoretically asks.

"Yeah.  Like you'd get have a kid Aphmau.  But if you're really wondering, then yes."

She laughs, still walking.

"I say, we get some horses.  She'll we go find some?"  Garroth suggests.

"Yeah."
