Ash took a seat at the table and watched her as she worked, enjoying every movement she made, "I trained a few people and did what I could to help Gypsy, Lareth's sister-in-law, in the training fort. That's where we train the more elite troops for our military. There was a brief incident but it came out alright in the end. After, Lareth informed me of my new assignment here and I collected Tamlin then we came here. All pretty simple, but a little boring after a while since Lareth keeps me on a tighter leash whenever I'm over there," he explained to her, telling her what he could but leaving out a great deal.
He certainly had no intention of telling her about the incident with Gypsy. It was embarrassing enough for him as it was so sharing it would be even worse. He could only hope Lareth figured out a way to keep the woman's demonic half under better control soon.
"What about you? What have you been doing?" he asked her then cleared his throat and looked at the table as he trailed a finger over it nervously, "I'm sorry for leaving the way I did... I thought it was best that way... Hurting you in any way was not my intention, though..." he added, hating that he'd had to do it that way.
He tried to figure out why she was affecting him so strongly. It was unusual for him to be affected by anyone and he found it disconcerting as well as conflicting to his loyalty and duty to his king.

Rebecca kept a soft warm smile on her lips as she listened to him talk, she just loved hearing his voice for some reason it was really relaxing it was great to hear while she did something she loved. As he asked her what she has been up too she shrugs a little, "Not much really I guess. I made good friends with Ora, she is a very sweet girl and is also helping me take care of Valick and I am planning on throwing a ball which she is also excited to help me with. Shes like my little helper and I enjoy spending time with her. I also have to make cakes and menus for two weddings now that are coming up soon. Been taking a lot of orders to make sure the mother of the twins is getting well fed." Rebecca's cheerfully as she tells him all she has been up too, shes been really busy lately and is taking on a lot too.
Rebecca looked over at Ash as he mentioned he was sorry for how he left, seeing him a little nervous as he looked at the table and traced his finger, she wondered why he was nervous about it, that was a new side of Ash she has not seen before. Rebecca softly puts the pasta in the water really quick and gives the chicken a quick stir, her helper was there as well to help her cook so she told them to take over watching the chicken for her as she softly walks over to the table and takes Ash's hand in hers so he will look at her. She gives him a warm smile, "It's alright Ash I understand, it was for the best I guess but im doing alright. I know you never mean to hurt me and I need to learn not give in to wanting love so quickly, you warned me many of times saying we cant be together cause you would end up killing me over time, but I fell any ways cause it was a long time since I had some treat me as great as you did to me. You have your duties to your king and I respect that greatly, I would never want you to get in trouble over me any way." Rebecca says softly to him looking at him with her bluegreen eyes and charming smile.

Rebecca didnt know the king too well, never met him and only really heard stories about him, but she saw the humor in what Ash was telling her and giggled a little as she started to toss together, the sauce, the chicken and the pasta together. "Ah well that is interesting, I guessing she must be really worth it if he is trying hard to win her love and get her to marry him. I have to admit, I never met the man, just heard stories about him is all" Rebecca says softly and smiles a warm smile at Ash as she puts his pasta on a plate, once done doing that the bread was ready and she pulls it out and softly places to pieces of fresh garlic bread on the side of the plate and then softly carried the plate over and set it in front of him with a proud smile of hers, "What do you wish to drink with it?" She asked with a sweet smile as she is willing to go fetch any drink he wanted right now. She noticed Ash had this slight glow to him right now being around her, shes never seen that before but it just made her smile cause he was just so Handsome and shes trying with all her best to keep to herself.

Ash had managed to swallow his second bite by the time she sat down across from him and he had to offer her a very honest smile, "Everything you make is heaven Rebecca. You spark the senses with your food and even bring up memories of other good times that are often associated with a smell or a taste. I cannot help but enjoy your food as well as your company," he told her completely honestly but had to wonder if he'd said too much.
In the end, he knew he'd have to be honest with her about his feelings for her but wasn't sure of when to tell her that he'd begun to fall in love with her. He didn't want to frighten her with the intensity of his feelings or with the risks of it all. And with Dancer down for a while, he had no one to talk to about it. So that left him trying to figure it out on his own.
At least, for the moment, he could distract himself with the food. But even that was finished in short order and he found himself sitting back in his chair with the glass of wine to finish as his eyes wound up moving over her face. So he had to distract himself by looking out the window into the garden and noted the time, "You'll likely want to send a tray for Dancer up soon or at least have it ready by sunset. He should wake by then if I judged Sasha's compulsion on him right. Desha will need to eat a bit after that. He used up more energy than he revealed to anyone else, first channeling it to Andy then healing everyone else after. Desha won't ask for a tray, though. Don't ask me why. He's bad about taking care of himself at times," he pointed out, knowing she'd know just what to make them when the time was right.
He took another sip from his glass and wondered, yet again, when the right time to talk to her would be. Not now, of course. He'd only just come back here and he still had Tamlin to check in on and introduce to Sebastet. But he knew it would have to be soon or he'd wind up going mad from it all...
