"I... Peter..."
She bit her lip, trying to wipe all her tears away. She felt silly, crying like this, but her heart ached. She took a step back, feeling dirty and guilty.
"I don't know... maybe you should leave me here..."

Peter frowned while he was looking at her. "Lyric...please tell me whats wrong so I can fix it," he whispered. He never took his eyes off her. He was highly scared now. "Please tell me. I need to know. And I'm not leaving you here,"

"I'm far from worth worrying about Peter..."
When she looked up into his eyes, she couldn't look away again. She was captivated by the worry within...
"...I'm not... a very good person, Peter... far from it.... you should forget about me..." she whispered, sadly. She didn't want to believe a word of what she said, but she knew it was for the best. This couldn't happen. She was on the wrong side...

Peter glanced down at her. There was a mixture of shock, hurt, and worry in his eyes. "Lyric what do you mean..." his voice trailed off as his mouth grew very dry. He hoped what he was thinking was far from the truth. "You're not.....with one of those men back there are you?" he hoped and prayed it wasn't true.

She bit her lip, and looked Peter straight in the eye and whispered.
"...no."
A lie, of course, but not, at the same time. She didn't want to be on the other side at all, but was by force. She wanted to be on King Peter's side... with Peter...
"Listen... I don't think I'm fit to meet the others... I'm... look at me..."
She looked down at herself, indicating to her "not so richly" clothing and hair, mussed from long travel.
"I'm a mess..."

Peter reached down and took her hand into his. "All I see is a lovely woman, no matter what her status is," he told her softly. He stroked her cheek with his other hand. He let the other matter go. At least she looked him in the eye and said that. He felt slightly better.

Blushing, she squeezed his hand a bit. She had no worries, anymore, except for her lie. It still bothered her. But she'd fix that later. His smile... his touch... they had a very calming affect on her. Tilting her head to it touched his shoulder, she looked up at him and smiled.
"I guess... it's fine to go ahead then. If you're not already tired of me" she said, teasingly.

Peter rolled his eyes at her teasing tone. He grinned rather evily and ruffled up her hair. "When I get tired I would rather dunk you in the lake and have you done with," he told her jokenly. His eyes began to twinkle. He looked down and kissed her on the lips. "Feeling better?" he teased.

Her eyes widened, and she swayed for a moment, like she was going to fall. Then, she looked up at him, eyes dazed, and smiled, shyly, feeling her cheeks grow warm.
"Yes... much better..."

Peter chuckled as he saw her blushing. He smiled as he placed an arm around her waist. “Really now?” he asked, his voice soft. A rather evil smile spread across his face. “Then maybe this would make you feel better,” with an evil twinkle in his eyes, the king bent down and kissed her neck. He was in a teasing mood now.

Her heart rate sped up, and she clutched his shirt, drawing in a sharp breath.
"P-peter..." she whispered, feeling light headed. He'd better be teasing, becasue that made her heart pound a little too fast to be normal.

Peter withdrew with an evil and innocent look on his face. "Yes my dear?" he asked with a chuckle. His eyes were twinkling evily. An innocent smile was spread across his face.

"That.... was....um...."
She couldn't find the right words to describe it. The twinkle in his eyes was just... she couldn't quite find a word for that, either. But whatever the word was, it meant she liked it.

The king smiled. "Well we better get a move on." he commented. He placed an arm around her shoulders. He leaned his head on her left shoulder for a few minutes. "I love you," he whispered with twinkling eyes.

"I love you"
Her entire body stiffened, and she suddenly jumped back from him, looking up into his eyes in fear. This couldn't be happening. Had he just said... of course he had. She'd heard it, the words she hadn't heard in years, there... said, just like that.
"P-Peter, we only just met and... and..."
She coudn't do this. Not with her working for the other side as well. Sure she cared for Peter, but she didn't want to endanger his life...
