<br/>
At a little over six feet tall, Taiga towered above her female counterpart by a head or so, toned and wiry and looking like she would probably put up a good fight if someone stepped up to the challenge. It was all dependant on being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe in the past, she would have charged headfirst into situations where someone was out for blood, but life had thrown a few curve balls her way and she was left slightly circumspect toward situations involving impending danger. It rarely kept a cocky smirk from gracing her features, though. Long steps led her into the belly of the bar, closer to where Aisling had risen from collecting her cards. She stopped just outside of her beau’s reach, one hand still pocketed while the other motioned toward the counter at the back. <br/>
<br/>
“You should be careful in these sorta places. Never know what kind of trash will come in and sweep you off your feet.” A pause followed, Taiga’s sights scanning the open space for a long second before she closed the gap and swept the redhead into a single armed embrace. Her head bowed, portrait buried in auburn tresses that smelled and looked far better than her own. Aisling was soft in all the right places. Delicate. Hard where it mattered, but smooth and fine on the outside like fine art plastered over metal. It wasn’t romantic to consider her lover similar to machinery, but Taiga was a simple woman. <br/>
<br/>
She liked what she could ride.<br/>
<br/>
Half mumbled, she professed in a lazy drawl through hair and scalp, “I didn’t think I’d be gone so long, ya know. Figured it would take a week tops…” She trailed off, finally unclenching the note in her pocket. It could wait. Repositioning herself to give a proper hug, the Fae offered as consolation, “But I bet it was a lot less messy with me gone. You probably cleaned up all my empty pizza boxes and the pillow fort I had chilling in the living room.‌That took me ages, by the way. Ages and ages.”<br/>
