THE VALKYRIE
You bring clarity when I can't see past
All the places where I made my mistakes
All the places where I made my mistakes
Hotaru trusts his knife skills if not his cooking skills, so it's a perfect setup truthfully. Ru doesn't mind being the main cook either; she still mourns the quick growth of the twins, and how few family meals she'd gotten even in the years she'd been granted.
The rhythmic chopping behind her as she bustles around behind him filling the pot with water, stock, and seasoning is soothing. Knowing he's so close and being able to smell their mingled scents beneath the ingredients is similarly comforting to the more primordial parts of her. Enough that she is startled from what is almost a trance by his venturing question.
Pausing, Ru sets the pot to start simmering and turns around, wrapping her arms around his waist from behind and setting her cheek against his spine. "It's everything I dreamed of, and yet so much more. Drawings could never have captured how I would feel seeing it in real life." Renderings never could have prepared her for the feeling of standing in their new home. And Sunjata had given that to her; unprompted, in secret - all to surprise her. "I hope doing the building yourself didn't ruin that charm for you...?" He can surely peer through the bond to feel what she's feeling, but it wouldn't be the same as feeling it himself.
