Sweet sun, send me the moon

Alys

And I can still see it all in my mind
All of you, all of me intertwined

Clumsy and rough around the edges though he may be, Alys was finally content to find herself once more in Tal's arms. She'd missed him terribly in the time he'd been away, and though she'd known that his work required frequent travel, she hadn't fully prepared herself for how much she would mind being alone. It was strange; she'd always been a loner, and yet now, whenever Tal was gone, it felt like there was something important missing from her life. It was a feeling she had yet to get used to - much like the relief when he returned safe and sound.

Perhaps, one day, she would be able to travel with him again - but that day was not today.

Tal nudged her nose with his and her blush deepened, a soft laugh falling from her lips at the easy proximity. Being physically close with someone was something else she'd quickly found that she liked more than she'd imagined she would, but it still took her by surprise all the same. "Dinner sounds wonderful," she agreed eagerly, glancing around again at the lovely little picnic area that Tal had set up for them. It really was quite impressive; who'd have thought, when she'd first met the courier, that he was such a romantic at heart?

I once believed love would be black and white
But it's golden
