"Oh, I already knew that he is a fine man, raised him myself!... But to think he'd stick with a group for longer than a few days. He used to say he didn't want to work alongside others, because such things could slow him down~..."

*She smiled to herself, while laying back in the chair to be comfortable. As she did so, a simple wave to some chairs would invite them to sit down... Followed by Theron shouting from the doorway, "Some things are best left unspoken!"*
Al
`had to deal with one thing, on with the sh0w!`
Arthur
"I try not to slow down your son with his dreams~. I attempt to help him the best I can, have that be prepare a meal, hunt, or play a song. That is a job of... Well a partner is it not?"

*She fiddled on the chair for a moment, deciding that it was better to just say it herself. Her hair was tied up and she... Looked as if she was trying to look her best for the parents. Her kilt was wrinkle free and her shirt was cleaned*

"Correction. That is the job of his lover"
Sally
*Morwë, hearing Ein's sudden announcment, covered his face to hide his embarrassed yet giggling expression. He slumped down slightly, trying to maintain his composure.*
Kurt
```yaml
Insert intense ara ara~
``` "My my~! I thought I'd never see the day! I had my hopes up since you were such a beautiful young lady, and to think you'd take interest in him... So speak up! How've you two been!"

*The chair practically tore into the floor as she scooted over to Ein, looking deep into her eyes. She'd like what she'd see... Young and pretty, almost reminding her of herself when she was small and looked into the water during baths.*

"I'd love to hear about all the details! One time, when he was just a lad, he spoke to me about marrying me... Of course I had to sit him down and speak about marrying another lady one day, but I couldn't help but laugh to myself after! Kids say such str- say... You do look just as beautiful as I did back in my earlier years. Maybe that day was fate!"

*She slide a foot backwards in her chair, covering her mouth slightly as she laughed. Theron had just returned to the room, now in a cloth shirt and pants. He sighed and sat down by Morwe, having heard most of it... But not wanting to fight with his mother.*
Sally
*Morwë, listening, quietly passes Theron a candied plum as he sat beside him.*
Arthur
*She was startled by the sudden movement, almost falling off her chair backwards. It seemed to her she was about to get headbutted by a seemingly harmless woman.

She was about to answer her first question, before the woman started to tell the story. Ein covered her mouth, giggling girlishly as she gave Theron the look of "Really?" It wasn't an insulting one, but more of a playful look.*

"I'm" *Soft giggle break* "Pleasured to be called beautiful ma'am. Our courtship is rather young. We have only been courting for over a week. We have gotten close, knowing more about each other as one should.

Though... I haven't heard that story yet. I'll be sure to remember that and pass it on to my children if I have them."

*She sat into her own chair more, keeping her back straight and... Making the best attempt at not... Absolutely laughing her lungs out on the floor* 

"In short, I'd say we are very close and well off"
Sally
"Can you believe these two had fallen in love in a month?" *Morwë sarcastically chiming in.* "Can you believe that? Normally I've seen people grow years and years to learn to love one another, but this... This seems well out burning desire! More so, you may think that they didn't really plan anything at all."

*He felt a shove, from Theron up against his side. The Elf quickly realized himself and went out of his way to back track.*

"You are a beautif— er, I mean you have a beautiful home, my lady," *The Elf spoke out nervously.*
Kurt
*After laughing with Ein and calming down a bit, she'd look to Morwe as he spoke about love. She slowly nodded her head, straightening back to a normal sitting position as she spoke.*

"I believe that is why we should celebrate such a gathering, to be fair. Love is a fickle thing, and although people can get together easily... It takes work to build it over time. I suppose it's hard for an elf to understand, however, since they usually decide that they have centuries to find the one they love. 

They end up never finding that person because they're never willing to fail, when perceiving the world as something they have all the time in the world to play with..."

*She then swiftly spun the chair over to ein, with such precision that they were now side by side.*

"... Which is why you aren't allowed to let this young cutey, go and leave you! Your mother won't forgive you if she goes away!... But of course I've lost myself in all the excitement. What was your name again, dear? I'm such a irresponsible woman, not getting your name after all this time."
Sally
*Feeling a little offended,* "What are you saying you old crone! I'm older than you!"

*He paused for a minute, realizing his sudden outburst. His face turned red with all the eyes drawn onto him. He bowed and excused himself out.*
Arthur
*She flinched at the sudden movement of Theron's Mum. Quite an Aggressive woman isn't she? She answered in an awfully Elven sounding language. Interesting*

"Oh dhú (fu), I'm Eínillainis Eín Tsúdahaéidé-Eíramain. I'm also known as Elizabeth Meiri Sudor-Saxon among the standard speakers in my close friend circle. 

I don't believe I-"

*She was almost cut off by Morwé, staring directly at him... She scowled, as if she was about to slap him really hard*
Al
*Theron got quite upset at Morwe... What the hell was that? He was about to get up when his mother sighed deeply*
Kurt
"Leave him be... I spoke out of terms, of course. I shouldn't have spoken about elves. I already know about the troubles most can go through... Silly of me to forget this."

*She had broken into a frown, but after a awkward silence, she tried to keep a lively discussion going and tried her best to keep a smile up...*

"So, uhm, Einill... Anis? Do you want to hear how little Theron once tried to ride our pet fox, Auryon? He was so obsessed with the poor thing, I felt so bad for her!"
Arthur
*She tried to pull herself from staring knives directly into Morwe, trying her best as well to not... Ruin this situation. It was the one time that she met a friend's parent without having... To return their remains after a situation happened in her line of work.

She was very obviously trying to force herself to not... Punch Morwe right now and Theron could probably see her twitching at random times*

"You don't have to call me by Eínillainis, I much prefer to be called Elizabeth, even Elise. My lover's mother is... Of course, like a mother to me if I may say that. Though I'm unsure of what a statement could bring so... Apologies for anything insulting.

And, I'd be pleasured to hear about... Theron's pet fox. I've never heard of people having pet foxes. I've always been curious of them, even wanting one as a pet myself when I was probably 10 or 13"
Al
*Theron was rather upset during the conversation, still thinking about how Morwe disrespected his mother right in her own home. He'd have to find his own place to spend the night, because he wasn't going to be here... But his thoughts were cut off by his mother bringing something up in the conversation.*
Kurt
"Ah, you never knew? Well I wouldn't really call her a pet, per-say. She shows up sometimes in the day to receive some food he would leave out for her. The little gal was practically raised by him, when he found it!

It's why he sewed the ears into his hood, right Theron? To remember Auryon and keep a memento? Something along those lines... Doesn't she show up around this time of day? We should let her in today! I'll get the little pieces of rabbit you feed her every time... It's so adorable when you do it."

*Ania then got up and walked out, presumably to the kitchen to look for the rabbit's meat she had mentioned.*
Al
*Theron sighed, crossing his arms and leaning back in his chair... Staring off at the window. At least he could cheer up while seeing her. It'd been a long time, and he could find a tiny shred of forgiveness to give to morwe. He can take pleasure in playing with the young pet he'd raised since he was ten.*
Sally
*Meanwhile outside, Morwë kept to himself and quietly stared at the fox, with this unwavering stillness. The two kept their gazes at each other, hypnotized by each others presence. Somehow, there was this quiet sentimental peace that went about between them.*
Arthur
"So... Theron. Nice mum you have... She's really pretty and kind... I didn't know you were into what you were when you were a child. To think you had a pet fox!"

*She said, standing up, walking up to behind Theron... Leaning into him from behind.*
Al
"Don't get any ideas... It's the words of a more naive and younger me... But Auryon should be outside, yes. Around the back, where Morwe went... Which hinders me, but I won't let that stop the reunion."

*He sighed, slightly blushing as she brought up the whole marriage story... He hoped she forgot about that.*

```diff
- As for morwe, he would find the fox staring into his soul... Sitting down and becoming unmoving. It would get what it came for, whether he liked it or not.
```
Arthur
"Don't worry. We were all small and Naive when we were young. D'you know, I wanted to date my brother when I was taught about dating. I was promptly whipped by my mother into sense. You have a good family Theron."

*She said, putting her hands on his shoulders to... Cool her tension down*

"I hope Mr Val doesn't ruin this situation... Otherwise I'll physically whack him with the flat of my blade"
Al
"I suppose, but might as well try and go out. I don't want to see Morwe, but hopefully he's dropped his shitty condescending attitude. An apology coming out of his mouth would be beneficial for everyone here."

*Theron got up, after having some relieved tension from Ein somewhat embracing him. Hopefully they could have more happier things happen while they were here... Show her around the city he was born in, before taking off for the mountainous region. Putting those thoughts to the side however, he'd walk out to the back to confront Morwe and Auryon.*
Arthur
*She followed shortly behind. Maybe here she'd find less than moody and edgy blacksmiths she could buy a few weapons from... And hopefully a weaver for her own devices.

She kept close to Theron of course.*

"Fox... Cute"
Sally
*Feeling the presence of the three coming to him and the fox, Morwë fell out of the trance.*

"This fox is not your pet," *The Elf casually tells them.* "She says the one they supposedly call 'Auryon' ran away and that this one is his daughter."
Al
*The fox, looking over at the two new people who had shown up, waddled over to Theron and rubbed her body against his leg... While Theron sighed to himself.*

"... You must ruin everything, just by being present, don't you."

*Theron just seemed more disappointed than anything. Likely remembering when a older fox left the home and a younger fox returned the next day... But he still wanted to have it be Auryon and save his child mind from sadness.*
Sally
*Turning to the company,* "I didn't say he's dead now didn't I? At least be gladdened by the fact your pet has a child... Or children for that matter."
Arthur
*She put her arm behind Theron to give him back rubs. She felt the disappointment in him. Almost to a physical level. She is starting to... Well really dislike Morwe... An elf, no matter how old should have at least enough common sense to not ruin such an occasion. They should have common sense if they are over a hundred years old*
Sally
*Getting up, patting himself up.*

"Forgive me, for my incredulous behavior for not accepting this rather surreal world I have gotten myself into," *He began, trying to sound sincere.* "I apologize if I have offended anyone, its only in my nature and *My age* To exhibit irrationality. Theron's mother, forgive me as well. I took a low punch to a pride, I never have encountered a beautiful woman with such... *Demeanor*. Anyways... Me and this fox have to excuse ourselves, we're visiting the rest of her 'pack' apparently."
Al
*Little fox yips*
```diff
- Oh he in wulf stomek. I runs from big scary that eets him. But I like human so... No say this tim!!!!
```

`little fox is best character now`

`you have given me the way to speak through fox, through you. Live through your mistakes, morwe`

*Little fox yips*
```diff
- Me hung so me stey. Goobi.
```

*Theron sighed. At least he apologized... So Theron guessed that he could be forgiven to an extent. He will still be upset with him, but at least Valmir had some sense of guilt in him for treating people so `insert word for bad >:c`.*

"... Alright. You can come back, if you feel like it. There's a guest room for you, with enough space if you feel you'd like to sleep under this roof. My mother's already forgiven you."

.
"I will be feeding the little Aur... Chibi. She came here for something, so might as well give the little thing a reason to keep coming back."

*He begun to walk inside with the little fox walking with him...*
Sally
*Watching the fox walk away,* "Her names Thelises..."
Arthur
*She leaned onto the wall, still having... Not exactly forgiven Morwe as much as her counterpart. She still hard that look of disdain. Seems like she isn't the kind to to easily forgive people.

Anyways, she'd just re-pin her kilt excess. Seems like the kilt was almost a cultural symbol for Ein.*
Al
*Little fox yips*
```diff
- Thelises the Three... D!!!! Tel them Threed!!!!
```
Sally
~~(shes named after theron~~

*Turning to his companions,* "Eínillainis will you not wear yourself with that scrunched up look, you'll age faster if you'll know... Anyways, if my apologies have not entreated us any further, I shall take my leave. There is an old friend that I must visit."

*Morwë walked passed the two, feeling some sense of chaos he had incited in their minds. There he took off, peacefully making his way to Kal's cemetary.*
Arthur
*She nodded to the man, giving him a slight wave. Once he was gone, she knelt down, reaching her hand out to the fox. Most likely a symbol of greetings.*

"Hello... So your name is Thelisis?"
Al
***A n g e r y f o x y i p s***
```diff
- U D E D N E N T S A I T H R E E D!!!!
```
Arthur
"Yikes. Quite a fierce one are you. Sadly I can't understand what you said. I'm not like the man that walked away" 

*She said, standing up, straightening up her kilt.. And the such.*

"Wonder what Mr Theron is up to..."
Al
*After the fox practically sprinted inside and around the house like it memorized the place, Theron would have gotten the little chunks of meat from his mother. He'd be slowly feeding the fox while scratch behind it's ears. Thelisis was enjoying the meal.*

"Ein, what're you still doing out there!"

*He shouted from inside, having expected her to come back by now.*
Arthur
"Ayyye I'm coming back in. Sorry!"

*She said, hastily making her way inside. She straightened out her kilt and... Her top to look presentable yet again. She didn't know she was expected inside. Honestly, she is half expecting to meet his father. But of course, he is a military person.* 

"Sorry Sorry... The Fox was quite... Pretty. I used to really like foxes when I was a child you see? Anyways... What is there to do? Unless, Mum has more stories about small Theron~?"
Al
"Ah, for now she's upstairs working on an order from the neighbors. She's a seamstress, she makes things like... Banners, clothes, blankets, furnishings... She asked we keep it down if we're to do anything."

*Theron continued to feed the little fox a piece of meat every now and then. It'd like his fingers when finishing a piece and asking for more, tail wagging rather quickly. He couldn't help but smile to himself, remembering when he used to do this when he was younger. Such good times.*
Arthur
"I see I see. So... Theron. Any plans? I have nothing to do. You said you wanted to show us around...!"

*She said, sitting down near the fox. She likes the fox a lot... She might get a pet fox... They seem like her. She acts foxy at times, being somewhat of a sly person. Especially when she starts teasing people* 

"But of course, The fox is also really cute too. Sadly she doesn't have a liking to me"
Al
*Little fox yips, while looking at Ein. Then the fox goes back to Theron as he gives her one more piece of rabbit*

"I wouldn't say that. She just got a bit defensive, animals take some time to get used to people... But yeah, I could take you around the city if you want. It'd just be sight seeing however, since my father has some tools for adjusting weapons here in the house."

*He'd sit down fully, as the fox finished eating and rolled up in his lap, to begin staring 
Into Ein's eyes. Theron followed suit and did the same... The pair watching her.*
Arthur
*She took a step back, now being watched by both pairs of eyes*

"It's honestly your choice. I'm fine with anything really. We have tomorrow anyways. It's what you want honestly. I'm fine with anything you plan or want to do"

*She pulled a chair, taking a seat down on, putting her left leg over the other. She also pat down her kilt to... Make sure she was not exposing anything at all*
Al
*Theron sighed, rubbed the fox's back for a few seconds, then got to his feet as it waddled away. He'd then go over to sit next to Ein... Doing his best to lay his head on her shoulder.*

"You don't have to sound so nervous... Or at least, indecisive. We've got two days, then we won't be able to come here for a long while. Best to enjoy the time we have here."

*He'd slowly grasp her hand while cuddling, going back to the unusually playful part of himself that was out while they traversed the forest*

"Go ahead and say anything~. Of course, I won't accept **Everything**, but just throw some ideas out there. Get to thinking..."
Arthur
"Hmmm... Are there any... Nice places to experience a sunset with a meal~? Maybe we could have... A meal in the sunset and under the star light! That ought to be fun.

Orrrrrr we could always just prepare for our travels and maybe the future~?"

*She asked, walking up behind him to give him a back hug, practically whispering into his ear for some strange reason. This has honestly become a habit of her when Theron and Ein were making decisions*

"Our future... Or maybe simply the future of our travels. Or we could always just... Stay here. But then again, I'm naturally indecisive for things like this. So... Loose (an older term for archers, which was used instead of fire) some ideas. I'm open to most."
Al
"Well... Ignoring how you've turned the tables, I'd say staying out for a day to spend a night in the woods nearby would be lovely. If we were alone, of course~. Talk about some things we couldn't, while Valmir was travelling with us."

*Theron slowly held her hands in his, as she held him from behind. He'd then lean his head back so he could give her cheek a little kiss*

"Is that something loosened, that you'd be open to?"
Arthur
"I'll be open for that. Let's go~? I doubt we'll need weapons... It's just a night out in the forest! We just have to be safe"

*She said, returning that kiss, placing her chin on his shoulders. Wonder what Theron wants to talk about when they are all alone... In the forest*
Al
"Alright, then~... You can get a few essentials. I'll lead us over to one of the old places that I used to go to when I was younger. I'd like to think it's still there... But after twelve years, we can just find out together."

*After smiling to himself, from receiving some more affection, he'd break from her hug and go into another room to grab some things he thought they'd need. Ein was left with the little fox glancing up at her... Staring into her eyes.*
Arthur
"Apologies for... Insulting you earlier. Hope you may forgive me. But now, I must be off to prepare for our outing."

*And like that, she was off to... Find the things she needs for the outing. That included... Her knife, cloak, and lute! Simple kit. She also brought her winter clothing too! At least... The top though! She didn't really need the bottoms since her kilt provided more than enough warmth to please her...*
Al
*Theron had packed what he thought they would need. Bow with spindel, a small patch of kindling, some pieces of dried meat to last the night... Maybe an unused blanket in one of the guest rooms? Might as well.*

*They would have to walk across another neighborhood to get there, so he could make a request at the blacksmith and pick it up when they returned. Was the best course of action, as they were doing it just for them... So might as well add some good reason to the journey behind it.*

*Now that he'd gathered everything for the time being, Theron made his way out a spare room. Items all packed up in a leather sack, he looked around for Ein.*

"I've gotten some of the essentials we will need, are you prepared on your end? We'll just spend a single night outside... So don't pack too much."
Arthur
"Yeah I'm completely packed up. I don't have much I need. Just brought my dagger, lute, and coat. Oh and the Halberd... I plan on... Making some exchanges with the nearby Smith. Seems like the halberd wasn't working out for me in combat"

*She said, picking up everything she needed... With quite some ease. Of course, she was wearing her jacket and kilt... But the rest she carried. Nothing too special. She was planning on getting a group of new weapons* 

"I suppose we shall go? And what do we intend on consuming tonight? Are we hunting?"
Al
"Rabbits and deer live in the forests around the city, true, but I've found some pieces of dried meat. We won't have to unless you insist on roasted meat over them... But it could be more time consuming."

*Theron shrugged, hoisting the sack over his shoulder as he begun opening the front door for Ein and himself. He'd take a step out, but then look back.*

"As well, that's just perfect. I was thinking about putting a request in at the blacksmith, so we can make a stop there before we reach the spot. It's on the way, too, so it shouldn't get too dark by the time we get there."
Arthur
"Let's hope. I'll trust you to lead me to where we are going! You are of course a local. Now if we ever go to my home, It's my job to bring you places"

*She said, following after him to... Go on the adventure! Where are they going? Wonder what will happen when they are both alone with no Morwe in sight?* 

"Let's go!"

*She exclaimed playfully. It's like she was an excited child when they were going to Disney Land... Or the equivalent of that here... An honoured guest in the king's private home?*
Al
*Theron walked along with Ein as they went through the city. Every now and then he'd wave or nod towards some people who still remembered him and gave him greetings. It felt nice to see some of the people he grew up with were still here... Although older, and some with partners or children.*

"While we go along, how **Was** Your home? I remember so many more people back when I was child, walking these streets. The streets still have numerous people, I know, but it just wasn't the same before. Usually you'd have to take alleyways or even quickly step through a store to get to some places."

*He'd walk along Ein while traversing the roads. He was right, with the constant redirecting he'd have to do to make sure they didn't get stuck in-between groups of people... But the crowds were as big as they weren't in New Salvainia.*
Arthur
"Well it's as uneventful as a farming village can be. My brother lives there with his wife and children. They kinda run the farm now as I explore the world. It was also a pretty small and nice community where everyone knew each other. But that's pretty much it. Nothing too unique about us. My mum was a farmer and my dad was... Someone who enjoyed finding old artefacts" 

*She said, keeping up with Theron. Like she said, it seems like it's pretty normal for a medieval village. But then again, she is known for not having the best memories. She honestly felt safe around Theron. Much safer than she'd feel around Morwe*
Al
"You've mentioned that before, your father being a man to find old artefacts. Digging in a frenzy, or along those lines... Is there a distance between him? If you have things to keep, I am fine with that, as I get a suspicion that you don't like to mention him."

*Theron said, while then quickly patting her on the shoulder and point out the blacksmith shop in the distance. It didn't seem like there were a lot of people, but you couldn't quite make out if there was anyone inside it.*

"We'll be there in a bit, so we can head out once you've settled everything with your kit. I just need to speak with the smith for a short time."
Arthur
"Well, I was never close with him. He was... Addicted to his search of The House of Sudor. It's as if he didn't love us (Ein's family) anymore. It really started after we found my Eldmother's book with all the songs she knew"

*She felt the tap of course, simply following Theron off to the shop to make her kit changes and the such. Oh well, wonder what Theron was intending on doing?*
Al
"Hm... A shame, really. My father was distant with me as well, but I learned many things from him. I can't say he was the most loving but I say that he truly did care about raising me into a good man. I hope that he just accepts this entire arrangement."

*Theron smiled while sheepishly laughing... Whatever that meant. The pair were now at the blacksmith however, Theron ushering Ein in as he too entered.*

"Alright. Go ahead and do what you need to do. I'll just be picking out a more well suited piece of armor for myself."
Arthur
"Yes yes. I'll do exactly that"

*She said, going off to... Talk to the people that do the work. She wanted... Something special? Hmmm wonder what that special thing was. Theron could hear something about... Oaths and.. Damascus. Interesting.

She handed the people the weapons she brought and... A few papers*
Al
*While she did what she did... Not sure why you'd bring papers to a blacksmith. Possibly details on how specifically she wanted her equipment to be? Theron shrugged to himself and went to speak with one of the Apprentices. They were good friends back when he still lived here, so he trusted his word on some of the things he needed.*

*They had an Almain Rivet for sale, but Theron asked for some details to be more specified to himself... Having to pay about 25 extra silver, but that was perfectly fine. He was told to come back after the night was over, which he was happy that it was that convenient for him.*
Arthur
*She was done with what she needed, approaching Theron like she always does when she wanted to start a conversation*

"So, I'm done with what I need. They said... They'll be done after the night ends. So, what is it now that you want to do? We have completed our business here... Unless you have other business?"

*She asked, quite curious as to what he planned. She was really curious.. About what he could talk about when they were alone... She hopes it isn't anything too negative. She'd try to help... But she can only help so much. 

Yes, those papers had accurate drawings of what she wanted... The most detailed of those being the Oath Daggers and... The two pendants. You need to specify how you want things to be if you want it a specific way"
Al
"I've finished speaking with my friend here. It should all be finished by the night, he's promised his word... And I trust it."

*Theron nodded as the man, just about his age, waved to Ein. After giving her a small greeting he'd walk off and go into the back room... Whatever that was.*

"Let's get going then. We've finished up here, then. It should be turning to dusk by the time we reach the place I'd like to spend the night."

*Theron stepped over to the door, opening it and waiting for Ein to follow him yet again.*
Arthur
*And followed she did. I'm unsure as to what else she was supposed to do. Now she only held her lute. She seemed to pretty open to anything Theron had to say. She didn't have much to say anyways

She looked much better when she wasn't... Wearing so many weapons on her anymore. She looked better when she wasn't constantly having to fight to just live. Maybe this could be the life she was better for? She was raised in bloodshed but... She can change!*
Al
*Theron would lead Ein through the woods, which after five minutes of careful treading, he'd point to a smal clearing next to a river... The water in it being so clear you could see a fish or two swimming down the stream.*

"Here it is. I used to play with some of the other children in this part of the woods. We'd do things like hide and seek, or protect and serve. Of course, one of the parents would have to supervise us just in case anything bad would happen... Though nothing did, when I think about it. Not a lot of predators live in this forest, for whatever reason."

*Theron sat down on a rock right next to the river, sighing as he watched the water flow. Probably getting lost in thought.*
Arthur
"Seems very peaceful. I like it. It reminds me of something similar. We had an old oak tree where all the kids would play. I used to always climb to the top.. And I sometimes even fell off. That never stopped me from playing though. Sadly it's gone now that new farms and buildings were built"

*Sentimental talk. She joined him, sitting down on a rock nearby, watching the river as well. Very interesting river. It's as if it had water in it and was flowing. She still didn't know what she should say. It really isn't her place to interrupt his memories any more than she already has.

She unclipped her kilt, covering herself in a kind of blanket with the excess. Very warm under that*
Al
`I've gotta go eat out, so I'll be back in an hour or so, that oki?`

`k that took too long but I'm alive again`

"Adventurous, weren't you? I hadn't climbed a tree till I was about fourteen. Was too scary of an experience, but I needed to get something down from the branches. I still get anxious at times when I have to be at great heights, from all the prospects of falling down and breaking something."

*Theron sighed, while leaning back and using his hands as supports. He'd look to the sky, thinking about anything to say for now. Now that they're here, might as well start setting up for the night.*

"Want to start setting up camp for the night? Once everything's done we can start the little bonding process you suggested in the house... Under the starlight sky, or something similar to it."

*He had returned focus to Ein, smiling somewhat. At least they could have a good time to themselves, in a spot where he had spent a lot of his childhood. It was practically a second home... Just without all the furnishings.*
Arthur
"Well we could start with a shelter. A few branches should do. Maybe we can pack some leaves on top should be fine. Or we could always sleep under my plaid~"

*She said, grabbing some sticks and branches... And some other dry things for a fire. She also released her blanket, letting it hang loose behind her. It didn't touch the ground of course and just... Looked more like a loose blanket.*

"We could also do a fire so... We can stay warm"
Al
"I had grabbed a spare blanket from the guest room, quite old actually. My mom must have hung onto after all this time... But since you've come up with such a good idea, we can use it as a tarp~."

*Theron had opened the sack he set down by the rock, pulling out a moderately sized sheet. It wasn't too thick, but could be layered over itself at least once. Slap a layer of leaves on it and that would be a decent cover.*

"I'll start digging the firepit. You can set up a nice spot for the little shelter, so do make it compact... Thank you."

*He would be using a edged stone to begin digging the firepit, just like he said. Taking a few moments to prepare the bow and spindle he brought in his sack for later, once the pit was set up correctly.*
Arthur
*She picked up... Two rocks. One of them looked a bit different from the other. No biggie though. She struck one of them on the other, almost instantly chipping off a massive chunk from the rock. This was good enough to chop some pieces of tree off a tree... 

And off she went! She targeted younger trees, chopping it down with... The sharp rock. Chop Chop Chop shhhhhhhpppp. Down the tree went. She knelt down at the stump to recite a soft prayer to the gods of nature. Pagan? Hmm interesting.

And back she came with... The tree. What kind of shelter was she going to make? Well, she started to dig a decent sized hole, which was large enough that you could only see half of you if you lay down outside.

She packed the bottom with some leaves and other dry materials to cushion them. On top, she started cutting up the tree to make something similar to a roof! On some leaves go and she was done!*
Al
`stuff pop up with me a lot so it oki doki`

*Theron put some time into watching her, once he had finished the little pit he made. About halfway through her unique structure he'd be using the bow&spindle to start some embers on a piece of dry wood that he had found in Ein's pile... Which after several tries, he had gotten to work!*

"So, where'd you learn to make that sort of shelter? My father hadn't taught me to make them like that. Another specialty from your own village, perhaps?"

*Theron spoke out in-between breaths, while gently blowing on the embers to get it going. Soon paying off, as he was now graced with the gentle roar of the firepit being filled with... Well... Fire.*
Arthur
"No I just used my intuition. Pits tend to be good for keeping you cool cause you're lower to the ground. The excess space under will gather any moisture or water because things like going down. A roof is good to keep you nice and safe"

*She said, obviously having her good smart moments. With the extra leaves and branches, she made a kind of... Slanted shape on top of the roof, digging some sort of trench near*

"And this... Small trench thing is for keeping rain outside. My little moisture trap can only do so much~"
Al
"Well then, that's quite the surprise. Where'd the naive Ein that didn't have a clue about courting in the forest? I don't mind you being a sly vixen from time to time of course... It could be rather stale if I'm the only one having fun~."

*Theron fed two more pieces of dry wood into the fire before laying down onto his back, looking up towards Ein with a playful smirk. The time it took for them to reach this place, as well as set up the site had taken most of the afternoon... The sun had begun to set.*
Arthur
"Hmm now what can we do? We have... The sun set. We have shelter, and we have a fire. Is there much we can do other... Than learn more than each other? I'm unsure. I'll let you lead the way. Anything you might want to do... Or try, I'll try to be as open as possible."

*She said, sitting down on... A large rock, patting the side next to her as if inviting Theron to sit down. She has chosen a nice spot. The trees parted slightly to allow them to see the sun set in the horizon. It was also near the fire, which allowed them to stay warm, though Ein only really starts to feel cold in extreme temperatures.

It simply wasn't like her to... Forcefully act like a sly fox. She only acts sly in some times*

"Unless, you want to do something more interesting? Not that I'd know what you'd find interesting"
Al
*Theron breathed in and out deeply, getting up and off the floor. Once he did, he dusted himself off before walking over and sitting down next to ein. He'd then lay his head on her shoulder and gently trace his finger along her arm.*

"There was a reason, why I wanted to come here specifically. R-remember when you asked, a week ago in the forest, about why I loved you? Chose you specifically, after the short amount of time we'd been together?... Well... I was thinking about it."

*He suppressed an exhale, drawing himself closer to her as he stared into the fire and gave himself time to think clearly enough.*

"... When we first met, you seemed to be brimming with confidence. You were idiotic, sure, but you did your best to make your moments count. You were considerate, with how you didn't want to burden others... Even though you were blind to how that could make others feel."

*He slowly tightened his grip around her arm, still not looking at her, as he reminisced over the few weeks they had spent as partners and as a couple.*

"... And then later I was reminded that this was only the surface. You got hurt, nearly killed, and you were still worrying about me before yourself. I learned about how defenseless you could be, and how much you needed someone to be there. So I got selfish... And I wanted to be that someone. I... Feel that I took advantage of that."

*His breathing slowly became uneven, as he was probably fighting off some feeling that wanted him to stop.*

"So... In the end, I'm not really sure about everything. I want to protect you, and be with you, and care for you... But also I feel like I've abused you in a way that was purely for myself... And I wanted to m-make sure y-you knew... S-so I..."

*His grip wavered as he pressed his head onto her shoulder, shivering a bit. He had stressed about this answer as well as the incoming danger that would befall his family. So in case this could be a detriment to both their safety... He wanted her to know.*
Arthur
*She thought this would start as something normal like... What they've done over a week ago. She continued listening, silently, not looking at him. She was scarily still and... Unmoving. Her breathing was also uneven. But why?

There were drops of water dripping from her face. They glistened in the light. Of course, as he talked, her tears started to appear faster. By the end, she was full on crying. She couldn't pull herself to look at Theron. She felt as if it was her fault that he felt like he was abusing her. Was it her indecisiveness? Or maybe her inability to make choices. But whatever it was, she felt extremely guilty.

She wanted to make it a smooth relationship between them. She didn't want anything bad to happen. But of course, that never really happens. Even I, the writer knows this.*

*A few moments passed of complete silence, Ein turning herself to Theron. Doing the same thing she did when she did her confession. She placed her forehead on his, her eyes still somewhat puffy from her soft crying*

"You idiot... You big Idiot. Don't you t-think you abused me. I love you how you are. There's no reason for you to feel guilty. I don't want you to feel like you hurt me or abused me. You didn't. You made me happier than I could ever have been if I was alone. No pet, nor person could have made me feel like I had everything like you did"

*She slipped her head down onto his shoulder, wetting his sleeve with her tears. See! She was the emotional one here. She cries in the weirdest times. This was the time she cried. She heard what he had to say... About her confidence, how she was a person who cared for others. Anyone would cry if they have been complemented by the person they loved so dearly. Especially when they desire even the slightest of complements.

For this, she just kept silently sobbing on his shoulders. She looked up at him to say something*

"I felt a burning desire for you when I saw you by my bed that day, feeling as if I was in heaven. I felt like I had died. Maybe that moment was heaven. I saw you and felt as if it was an angel themselves talking to me, just to realize that angel I thought was there, was you. I couldn't help myself feel pulled to you. 


You pulled me out of my eventual death and... Brought me to life. I was indebted to you for the rest of my life. Not by some blood nor ties, but simply by just burning passion. I couldn't help myself be pulled towards you, even with the most mundane of tasks."

*She took a few moments for a sobbing break. She definitely wasn't done with what she was saying*

"When I confessed in that forest... I felt nervous that the angel in my life would feel repelled by my feelings. So I was just ready to disappear after you said what you said. But when you returned the feelings... I felt that I could challenge heaven and hell by myself.

So... Please don't feel like you abused me. It makes me feel like you wanted to leave me"
Al
*Theron slowly smiled throughout her confession, yet again, taking him by surprise. A lot of himself felt relief. He didn't want to stop seeing her, but had just been afraid that things were going so fast because he was taking advantage of it... But she felt as passionately about him as he did for her.*

*Of course he couldn't help but tear up and let some flow, this situation wasn't the kindest. They were completely exposed to each other, and he wanted her to be completely honest... Even though it brought upon her such a deep sadness. From this sadness however, gave him a sense that he was wrong before.*

*They were being honest with each other in this situation. The beautiful things she was saying to him were from the heart, and he couldn't help but feel his heart race from it. He felt embarrassed but completely honored to be referred to as an angel, in her eyes. He almost didn't deserve such an honor, when trying to think on it.*

*Locking eyes with her again, the two beautiful violet eyes he had gotten so used to, kept his heart aflutter. He was feeling a bit too lost in all the emotion as of right now... It was hard to calm down after hearing her admit that he was such an important person to her.*

"W-well... You can rest easy. I wanted to hear about this for a long time... It was just, r-rather embarrassing with Valm-ir around, you know. I l-let it eat at my thoughts for too long, forgive m-me."

*His heart hadn't calmed down yet... Looking into the deep violet of her eyes didn't help. It was such a lovely color on her. The little love of his life... Still being so close to her, he'd pull her in for a hug.*
Arthur
*She stared into his eyes, giving him a tight hug. It's honestly his choice to kiss her at this moment. It would be quite romantic. A sunset backdrop, a fire, the forest... And a couple. How did such a repulsive Ein get such a great man to call her Love. It's truly just the work of faith and probably gaia in her eyes.

He could most likely feel her heart beating, like she could feel his when their chest met. This was an awkward situation as... They could easily have just started kissing, their lips only being an inch apart from each other. Ein wanted to cherish this moment, staring deep into his eyes as if trying to dig in deeper to savour his passion for her. But of course, she couldn't do that. She was satisfied from what she heard him say. It was... Refreshing. Something she needed in such a tense time as this* 

"I wanted to hear your story too... It makes me feel happy. It makes my heart feel like it wants to escape when you speak to me with such passion. It's as if... We were supposed to be together. As if it may be Gaia's doing or... Our ancestors. I don't care. This moment is worth savouring. I wish it could last forever..."

*She said, staring into his green eyes, whilst moving in closer to make it even more personal than it already was. Again, they were so close, that he could practically smell the faint smell of berries that she uses to clean her clothes. She wanted to pull herself into a kiss but she had one last thing to say*

"Please don't ever leave me... I don't know what I'd ever be able to do without you. I'd feel so empty if I didn't have you by my side. If I have to live a life without having you, your emerald eyes and... Your aura by my side. I don't think that would be a life to live"

*She said, speaking between soft sobs of her happy crying. I didn't want to type the stutters as it is much more natural just using your imagination. She continued on with her speech, turning slightly red. She was about to make a proclamation. A big one in fact. Something that she will have to do when the time comes of course*

"After this mess... I want to own a home in the forest and... Settle there with you. We could have a farm and... Maybe we could have a family. I just want to have you by my side till the horrible day comes when I must leave this world."
Al
*Theron smiled brightly, although his eyes were still wet with tears. She was prepared to spend the rest of her life with him, and he was prepared to reciprocate those feelings. It was all he could ever want as of now, to know that they were both in perfect harmony.*

"I'll accept that as a proposal... That we may live side by side till this world forces us to part. I love you, Eliza... And I know you love me back."

*He'd then take his time to wrap his arms around her neck, to kiss her passionately. This was a time to burn into his memory for the rest of his life. They will be together as one from here, and forward into the future... Whatever it may bring.*
Arthur
*This was true peace to her. She didn't need to move. No one to follow. Just her and her love. She closed her eyes returning the passionate kiss. She wrapped her arms around his back. 

After that week... Of probably doing the same thing, she has obviously gotten better at kissing. Most likely more open to doing different kinds of kissing. I'll let you guide how their moment goes. Just keep it PG for now... It's only been a week. Doubt Ein's heart'll be ready for much more than this.

She hopes that Séid will be merciful and keep them together, have it be heaven or hell. She will fight to remain together, even after death. She wanted to burn this memory into her mind. The feeling... And the picture. It's something she wants to cherish. It reminded her of the week before when she told Theron her feelings... That kiss was her first. This kiss wasn't her first her lips felt... But it was the first kiss she has done with such passion when they were alone*
Al
`the thanos meme gives me great worry`

*Theron took his time, gently playing with her hair as they held their kiss for what seemed to be several minutes. Having all the doubt expunged from his mind had given him peace to think. Their feelings were shared honestly, their future together was now well established, and they had agreed on what they would aim for together.*

*During the final moments of their embrace, Theron quickly gave Ein's tongue a lick... He had caused such a sad atmosphere from admitting his insecurities, so he thought this could somewhat quickly change things... Even if it would end in some kind of retribution for him.*

"Well well, we've sure gone at it for some time... But I'm quite pleased with how all this turned out. To think I wasn't born from my mother, but gifted from the heavens, to be your little guardian angel~."
Arthur
"To think I'm special enough to be gifted such an angel of high stature. Maybe your mother is Gaia themselves. Makes sense Gaia is... Somewhat a feminine name. What do you intend on doing now? We've... Planned the future and... Cherished the moment?"

*During the thick of the moment, she didn't care about the tongue lick. Interesting choice of what he decided to do. I wouldn't say I'd be into that but Ein probably was into what he did. She wasn't really the kind to fight back. 

She was smiling, having stopped crying. Just a happy EinEin sat there in front of him. His lover. At least until it turns official. Of course, she will want to wait until life was peaceful again until she made it official*

"But proposal or not. I wish to have life be peaceful before we settle down together... But don't think for a moment I won't have my fun. I fully intend on exploring the world... And continuing my mission of exploring the alcohol of the world"
Al
"Makes sense, I guess. I'll still be traveling down the same road, so it won't bother me... Besides, a lightweight needs to be there when the ***Superior drunkard*** Passes out after a few shots~."

*Theron slapped his head back onto her shoulder, fine with the current predicament they were in. Of course the entire Thorns business would have to be taken care of... Escaping it or fighting back. Once that was dealt with, it would be just a matter of making or finding a suitable place to settle down.*
Arthur
"Is that a challenge?"

*She asked, leaning her own head on his. Very peaceful. The sunset has hit it's best. Very pretty.

He could feel her dozing off. She probably got really tired from the kissing moment, but she tried to keep herself awake. Mostly for him*
