Since Cassiopeia had taken charge of their picnic details while he was up close and personal with the carpet in his bedroom, Orion thought it best to allow her to unpack the basket’s goodies.  Besides, he always enjoyed surprises, seeing as how he didn’t know what was in there.  As he returned to her, the Princess had already spread out a blanket and was seated on it.  Basket placed in front of her, he watched as she removed its contents.<br/><br/>“Quite the spread, Highness,” he complimented her.  “And everything looks delicious.”  It was not lost on him the alcohol she chose to bring along.  Both of their beloved beverages of choice and even a bottle of wine were there for their enjoyment.  After the other night’s shenanigans, Orion went with the wine this time.  He found both the shade and the salt air equally refreshing as he sat near her.
