After watching Odette leave the cottage, having her blessing for his new revelations, he had taken off. Despite the rain pouring outside, he had run out of the cottage, and then ran all the way to the mansion in Nirethia. He didn't care about getting sick or getting soaked from the rain. Sure, his horse might have been faster, but he wasn't thinking anymore. He just needed to see her. That was all that mattered to him right now.
When he got to the mansion, he was out of breath, even with his physical shape being as high as it was. He hunched over after knocking frantically on the front door. "Marina--!" He called out, stepping back to look up at the windows to see if he could see her. "Marina!" He called out again, biting onto his bottom lip. "Lord Rolfe!" One of the servants chirped as they opened the door. "Oh, my, you're soaked to the bon-"
"Where is Marina?" He asked, walking up to her with an intense gaze. She blushed darkly and stammered. "S-She went out..." She mumbled. He frowned and pushed his hair back out of his face. "Where did she go?" He asked, but she gave him an apologetic smile telling him she didnt know.
Where would she have gone? She could be at the Court...but, she really had no reason to be. It was dark -- he could tell it was night; maybe around eight. "She seemed a little stressed when she left...said she wanted to relax," The maid her murmured. Relax. "The harbor," He blurted out, smiling slightly. "S-She liked boats! She's got to be there!" He said before kissing the girl on the forehead thankfully -- to her shock.
He took off again, despite how out of breath he still was. His feet ached as they struggled to carry him. He'd never run so far before, yet he kept going. She wasn't on the pier, or in her boat...
Just when he was about to give up hope of finding her there, he saw a figure out on the beach. His heart jumped into his throat. He knew her anywhere. His heart started beating faster as he slowly made his way onto the sand, not caring that the rain was catching on his eye lashes and making him cold to his very core. She was there.
"Marina..." He called out, the rain heavy enough to make it hard to hear a voice. So, he wouldn't talk, then. He walked over to her, cupped her cheeks, and caught her lips with his in a passionate, tender kiss.
