The rhampire aka chicken wings were pretty good, Tal had to admit, though it was the sauces that really elevated them. He tried the spicy sauce next, and he nibbled happily on it as a line of sweat broke out across his brow. Talk of their home and the ways they could make it prettier and more theirs was a lot of fun, and squeezed Alys's fingers as they worked out some general plans over their meal.
"The trees'll take awhile t'grow," he mused thoughtfully. "Though I bet I can get Sah t'fast-grow 'em for us. We'll want t'get those in tn'ground in Leafchange, I think. Maybe we can get some evergreen or holly bushes? Somethin' that'll give a little color in winter, an' berries for th'birds?" He sucked the last of the meat off the bone he was working on and nodded enthusiastically to an herb garden. "Hey, maybe with all this diggin' in th'dirt you'll get some earth magic yourself," he teased his partner, brushing his thumb affectionately over her knuckles.
The rest of the meal was spent in happy contemplation of different plantings and plans for their yard. And after they finished - and collected Boreal - they had a small list of notes to take with them into Haulani for shopping to choose the right bulbs and foliage for their first round of landscaping!
