"I'm safe now... We're all safe now..." She whispers, nuzzling his neck.

"I know" he whispers, "But I should have done something to help you."
"You couldn't have... There was no way..." She opens her eyes to look at him. She swallowed hard.
"I should have" he looked away so she didn't see his anger. He didn't need her being scared of him.
"Dougie..." She sighs shakily. Her body continued to shake with left over fear. "It's not your fault. Nothing would've stopped them."
"I should have tried though." his eyes stung at his anger, but he pulled them back.
"You did try..." She sniffles, feeling like Dougie's distraught mood was all her fault.
((I'm wearing toe socks and it's so weird...))
Hearing her sniffle he pulled her close, kissing the top of her head. "It doesn't matter. We're home now." It did matter, but he wanted Tylia happy.
She smiles weakly, kissing Dougie's nose with a half-hearted giggle.
A smile spread across his face as he kisses her forehead.
She sighs shakily but happily, relaxing, her trembling fading a bit.
Dougie yawns, but stays awake with his arms around her.
"Go to sleep..." She whispers sweetly.
Dougie tries to say no, but his eyes close.
She hums a soft song, wanting Dougie to rest, to stop worrying about her.
Finally he falls into darkness of sleep.
Tylia curls closer to Dougie. Now that he's asleep, she doesn't feel as safe, and tries to ignore the sounds down the halls of maids and other servants working.
Dougie was only asleep for about an hour before his eyes shot open. Feeling a weight on him he turned and sighed seeing Tylia there safe.
Tylia was staring at the ceiling, unable to control her trembles of fear that someone would come and take her.
"Hey" he soothed pulling her close."I'm here."
She gasps in surprise, tensing then relaxing when she sees it's just the prince.
Dougie held her into his chest.
She wraps her arms around him and buries her face in the crook of his neck, trying to hold back tears.
"I'm here" he whispers. Dougie knew he shouldn't have fallen asleep.
Tylia nods quietly, trembling a bit.
He strokes her hair as someone knocks at the door.
"Its okay" he says as his mother comes in."How are you two?" Alice asks and looks at Tylia, "Hey."
Tylia breaths shakily, sitting up and wrapping her arms around herself.
"We'll be down soon." he says with a yawn, the black bags under his eyes obvious. Dougie pulls her into his side.Alice nods, "Don't bother with fancy clothes. I know its not lady like, but she can wear your looser bottoms." she says before leaving.
Tylia let's out a gasping sob once Alice leaves. She had been so scared someone was going to take her away from Dougie again.
Dougie held her close, "Come on." he says pulling her up gently.
Tylia nods quietly, standing with him.
"you can go down like that" he says kissing her head "or you can wear something else."
"I don't care..." Her voice trembles softly.
She nods quietly, and reached for his hand.
Dougie keeps her close as they walk to the small lounge where his mother was sitting.
Tylia tried to control her trembling, flinching at anyone who passed them.
Inside the room he lets her sit and crouches in front of her as he rubs her cheek, "I'm not going anywhere."
Gently he kisses her cheek as he leans to the side to retrieve her plate. "Eat up," Dougie smiles.
Her smiles grows a bit and she takes the plate. She stays silent while she eats.
Dougie stays close, rubbing her leg softly to keep her calm.
Tylia calms down, since they were alone in the room.
Dougie sits on the floor at her feet, leaning his head on the side of her leg. He didn't want to leave her side.
She finishes eating and moves over so there is more room on the chair. "Come sit with me?" She asks softly.
"hmm" he hums and stands before sitting next to her, and pulling Tylia close.
