"You are not supposed to be exerting yourself," Cecil finally said, mumbling the words against Tallant's chest.

Tallant laughed and kissed the top of his head. "I am sick of not exerting myself, especially where you are concerned."

"Stupid elf," Cecil muttered, cheeks flushed as he finally glanced up. "I'm glad you're feeling better."

"Mm," Tallant agreed, but did not say that he would be better still if he were not so hard he hurt—but then he jerked, as hesitant fingers brushed over him. "You don't—"

Cecil ignored him, simply muttering, "Shut up," before he opened Tallant's leggings and wrapped his hand around Tallant's cock. The movements were slow, hesitant, inexperienced—but determined, and it was not very long at all before Tallant was muffling his cry in Cecil's mouth, shuddering in his arms.

"You are truly a kel," he said eventually. "My kel."

"I'm going to be telling you to shut up a lot, I'm beginning to realize," Cecil complained, but was obviously fighting a smile. His cheeks were hot as he righted their clothes—then he abruptly shoved, sending Tallant toppling over. Before he could voice a protest, Cecil was laying half on top of him, braids spilling all about, the fate token just touching Tallant's chest. For all that he was sick of lying around, Tallant could really find nothing to complain about in the situation, except perhaps that they were dressed.

"Do you know how to dance?" Cecil asked after several minutes, the words muffled against Tallant's chest.

It took Tallant a moment work them out, but then he said, "Yes, though I'm not certain the drunken antics in which Milton and I usually engaged could be called dancing, per se."

"There will be lots of dancing at the banquet," Cecil said. "I wasn't sure you'd be well enough—"

Tallant cut him off with a laugh. "I think I have proven I am well enough for dancing—and more."

Cecil didn't reply, but Tallant could practically feel the rolling of his eyes. He smiled, but did not say anything, simply closed his eyes and enjoyed lying with his lover beneath the apple tree.
