Despite it all - despite being pulled, seemingly at random, into a chaotic and terrifying new world; despite all the trials and hardships that came along with it... Vai couldn't say she minded all that much. In fact, breathing in the sweet morning air in the woodlands, with the crunch of leaves underfoot and bright sunshine stretching its fingers through the trees, she would even go as far to say that she was happy. The people who were important to her - all of them, it seemed, every single one - had appeared in this place with her. Shapechanger bands, modified or otherwise, had apparently not followed them through, with no adverse effects to those who had undergone the ritual. Better still, none of those who would put her husband back behind bars had appeared with them. What in seven hells did she have to complain about? "The fields beyond here look like they might be good for growing crops," she said, almost to herself, though she knew vervain

Heavy footsteps thudded and crunched on the autumn leaves, assuring
He wore only weathered brown pants, thick padded boots attempted to muffle the heft of his strides but did little to shield the sound of his burly frame pressing to the earth. Devrum heard Vervain speak, clearly, but made no attempt to answer her just yet. Instead he merely stepped behind her quietly, draping his arms around her waist and loosely locking his fingers. His nose buried into the back of her hair as he inhaled deeply the scent of sawdust, and a subtle sweetness she seemed to always carry with her. His eyes closed as he remained taking in her scent in low, growl-like breaths. He was quiet, appreciative of the brief solace, and in no rush to return to essential duties. "Fields...animals...so eager to get me working. Figure it'll keep me out of trouble?" He quietly spoke with a chuckle. His head would slide to the side of hers, bearded lips tickling her collar bone as he pressed a kiss and squeezed her tighter. Devrum began walking, still holding Vervain causing her to waddle along with him. "What would we grow? Hm?" It seemed Vai he envisioned all of this even before himself, a fact that pleased him to no end. "Wheat? Bread, ale...bare essentials for survival...potatoes for cooking and brewing of vodka...perhaps a small stables. Modest...in case there are mounts to tame..." An arm would slide up just under Vervain's as he guided her hand toward a relatively vacant-looking patch of land nearby, surrounded by trees and a shallow creak. "There...perfect for something away...modest...protected. Will take some work and resources...we know enough hands to make it work."

Devrum thought a moment, know Vai's request was merely hypothetical, but he grinned a bushy, bearded grin and scooped
He gathered some moss and leaves, making a natural blanket of sorts to drape over Vai's legs. As powerful as his frame and demeanor revealed Devrum to be, there were times he appeared endearingly gentle. He was silent mostly as he catered to Vervain's thoughts of what would make her happy, taking his time to ensure her needs were met. In time Devrum would finally bring himself to sit at her side, a hand reaching to gently adjust the moss-blanket around her legs before looping around her waist and leaning her enough where Vai's head would rest against his shoulder. Fingers gently strumming along her side as he stared at the flames, embracing the ease of the crackling sound and the warmth it radiated. "You've adjusted easily...you always seem to." Devrum finally spoke, giving Vai a faint growl-like chuckle. Whether in Northhaven, or this world...Vervain never lacked the ability to adapt. In many ways she was superior, in her ability to distinguish strength and empathy...something Devrum still wasn't even sure he could do. "I was prepared to do anything...horrible...horrible things. Back home...before I was ready to die, ready for anything. Than I had something to lose, and I felt something I ain't ever felt...not for a long time. I was scared..." Devrum cleared his throat, shrugging the thought away. "...I wasn't going to lose you...I was prepared to do anything, the worst things..." His voice trailed off as he looked over the surrounding woodlands, finally acknowledging the ambiance, the deceptive tranquility of it all. "Divine intervention...it's all I can explain what happened...cause here we are, and all that back there just seems like a passing memory...figment of my imagination. Just about the only real thing to come from all of that is with me right now." Fingers curled to squeeze Vai's side gently. "Ain't often second, much less third chances come your way...to make yourself better...but here I am...this is going to work. The tavern, our home...it's going to work...finally...just still getting used to the thought I suppose..." He muttered dismissively as if he were a rambling sentimental idiot.

A brow arched as he glanced down at Vai. She always seemed to know what to say and how to say it in order to keep him at ease. He thought to tell her this but why pad her ego any further than having this lumbering man fawn over her every moment right now. Even Devrum knew his limits, and knew when to keep the balance of power in a relationship...all playful notions of course.
Instead of giving some poor attempt at flirtatious banter, Devrum would brush the side of Vervain's hair, his eyes holding hers with an...extremely familiar look...as he leaned over and laid her back, half-leaning over Vai as the other rested on the ground. Bearded lips holding hers as if kept from them a life-time. There was an beastly rumble-growl, which rippled along his back...a habit when she had driven him a certain way. There is a phrase people often say, break new ground...Devrum had taken the phrase quite literally as passion and aggression blended and allowed him to overtake Devrum laid across his back, his breath heavy, steady but heavy as he attempted to gather himself. Callused hands running through her hair...how did she always manage to overpower him? Some secrets were best left unspoken, so he thought to himself as he simply grinned up at her. He'd quietly look around as his head laid back. "I've got an idea...if you're up for it." There was a glint in his bi-colored hazel and blue eyes. He would gently take hold of Vai's hips...hips that could shatter walls and conquer worlds as far as he was concerned, and lay her back down as he pushed himself up. His muscles rippling as in a moment the beast roared and formed before her. The imposing black bear stretched out to 7ft 8in, 860lbs. It's paws padded the ground toward Vervain as it's large, wide nose sniffed against her legs and neck. It roared timidly, nudging Vai to get up before it flopped on all fours for her to climb onto its back. [bunny permission granted by Honey ]
