It wasn't new anymore to be making plans for the future together, but it still sent a little thrill through Tal's chest to realize that it was real and not a dream. To beautify their home, and to make it even better year after year to come...
It warmed Tal right down to his toes so that the cool air of the Leafchange evening couldn't even touch him. Not when his partner was by his side and her hand was curled, warm and strong, around his own.
The look he gave her was bright and grateful as she already began to plan out their Flowerbirth garden, but his eyes lingered on the dreamy expression on her face. His own took on a look of dazed bemusement, smitten anew at how luminous she was in the witchy light of sunset and lanterns, fey and beautiful and mysterious as his best dream. "Yeah..." he agreed rather dreamily himself, and would have been content to spend the rest of the night feeling like the luckiest guy on Caido just to be sitting next to her until her teasing brought him back to the moment with a fresh grin on his face.
"Oh, you definitely can," he hurried to assure her. "I can spend a couple more days 'afore I need to start th'next run. Unless I can entice you t'come with me again? It's been awhile," he admitted, mostly teasing but a touch rueful. "I never sleep as good on th'Peregrine anymore as I did when you were with me on 'er."
