Title: And When Two Lovers Woo 2 Rating: PG Word Count: 188 Pairing: Raoul/Sabine Round/Fight: 1/G Summary: Raoul asks Sabine out. Or rather she asks him. A/N: This is part 2 of my As Time Goes By series. I should also point out that Raoul's still in his mid-twenties. (So after Alanna is knighted and Roger comes back, but before Alanna comes back and kills him again.) ;D
“I noticed you staring earlier.“
Raoul jumped a foot in the air, startling the horse he’d been saddling. Gary—in the next stall—snorted in an attempt to cover a laugh.
“Didn’t your mother ever tell you that staring is impolite?”
Raoul swallowed hard as he stared at the girl—the squire.
“I…”
She smirked and held out a hand. “Sabine of Macayhill.”
He stared at her hand. All of his knightly courage and manly pride was gone. He felt like a first year page: all shy with two left hands.
“And his name is Raoul.” Gary slung a casual arm around his shoulders. “He’d love to buy you a drink, or take you out on a romantic, starlit picnic and—“
Gary ducked, narrowly avoiding Raoul’s fist.
Sabine grabbed Raoul’s hands before he could use them to wring Gary’s neck.
“I’m not much for picnics, but I’ve got a free afternoon tomorrow, if you’d like to go riding?”
Raoul’s glare melted away as he nodded along with Sabine’s words.
“Yea. Okay.”
She smiled. “Tomorrow then.”
“Yea.”
Raoul missed Gary’s wide smirk as he watched Sabine of Macayhill walk away.
