Myrah just sort of let Olive stay there. She would wake her up eventually. Just let her wake up eventually.

Olive blinked her eyes open, stifling a yawn as she dazedly tried to place her location. It was still dark, the moon still high in the sky, and she realized all of a sudden how close her face was to someone’s….. Myrah’s.

Myrah yawned a little as she blinked a few times. Olive was up, did she fall asleep too? She looked into Olive's eyes, "Hey beautiful."

Olive blushed, blinking rapidly. “H-Hey, Myrah. I think we fell asleep.”

Myrah looked up to the higher moon in the sky, "I think we did. I don't mind."

(good afternoon)

Olive nodded, glancing around to make sure no one else was around. "I don't want you to catch a cold on my behalf, though.."

(Afternoon!)

Myrah laughed softly, "I don't think I'm going to catch a cold next to you."

(How are you?)

Olive blushed again, burying her face in Myrah's shoulder. "I hope not……."

(I'm good. How about you?)

"I hope you didn't catch a cold either," Myrah smiled.

(pretty good :)

Olive smiled, shaking her head. "I don't usually get sick, I built up a high tolerance back at home–" Her voice faltered. "I mean– never mind."

Myrah frowned slightly. SHe didn't push any further, when Olive wanted to tell her she could, "Okay. But you can tell me whatever okay?"

Olive nodded, forcing herself to relax again, even as memories pushed their way up to the front of her mind. "Another time.. maybe tomorrow. Sorry."

"Tomorrow, next week, a year from now," Myrah listed off, "Whenever you feel ready too. So don't apologize."

Olive nodded, biting back another apology. "If you're sure.. I'll try my best to be more open, I promise."

Myrah nodded. She gave Olive a soft smile, "You'll get their, I know you will."

"Thanks, Myrah," Olive replied quietly, chewing on her lip.

Myrah looked back up at the high moon before glancing at her window, "I suppose we should part ways. That way we could get some sleep proper."

Olive nodded, reasoning with herself that this was the most rational idea, however disappointed it made her. "Yes, of course. Good night, Myrah."

Myrah was slightly disappointed that they were really going to go. Myrah stood up and brushed her dress off, "Good night, Olive. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Good night," she echoed, giving the Princess a soft kiss before slipping away.

Myrah smiled as she walked back into the castle and snuck into her bedroom. She was sad that they had actually left, but at the same time they really did need to sleep.

(ack sorry, my reply deleted)
(good afternoon :)

Olive woke earlier than usual, rubbing her eyes groggily as she rolled out of bed. Everyone else seemed to be asleep…. for now, which was why she should get ready fast and be out the door before anyone caught her.

(Still morning here, but yes afternoon :)

Myrah yawned as she woke up shockingly early. She wasn't quite sure why, maybe the thrill of last night was still keeping her awake. She'd do it all again.

(oof. how are you?)

Olive got dressed and into armour in record speed, careful to avoid all the creaking steps on her way down. She checked the list of assignments for the day– and her heart plummeted. She wouldn't be anywhere near Myrah for the whole day.

(Dying, slowly, from these stupid cramps.)

Myrah had sat down at her vanity and was brushing her mess of hair. Did she have another suitor coming today? No, she didn't think so.

(oof I feel you there. lady problems?)

Olive stood there for a moment, staring at the list. Oh. Disappointment turned her stomach, and she sighed despondently, slipping into the kitchen to grab a bite of breakfast.
