Ala hummed softly walking around the grounds of the shop looking at well nothing really, just walking and getting exercise

Torvil was working on something or other on the house.

Ala stopped closing her eyes and taking a deep breath in enjoying the fresh air

Torvil muttered darkly on the roof of their house, trying to fix a shingle.

Ala opened her eyes glancing his direction for a moment, then decided she wanted more of a walk and picked a path at random and disappeared into the trees

Torvil watched her go and hopped down, speeding after her.

Ala walked leisurely down the path, the only part of her that wasn't leisurely was her eyes as they always scanned the path ahead of her

Torvil reached her quickly and wrapped an arm around her, helping her keep an eye out.

Ala looked up at him "Hello love, what brings you down this path?" she asked

Torvil smirked. "You of course..."

Ala laughed "I thought you were busy fixing the roof"

Torvil rolled his eyes. "Attempting..." He showed her his covered hand.

Ala laughed "You could just fix it with alchemy like you usually would" reaching and taking his hand and bringing it to her lips to kiss

"Feels more homey this way..." He muttered, still nursing the now numb hand. He purred though, seeing her kiss it.

Ala chuckled and let go of his hand resting both of her hands on her belly again

Torvil purred.

Ala relaxed and watched the path ahead of her resting against his side

Torvil smiled but kept a wary eye out for the small black flower of death.

"Did you check this path yet love?" she asked glancing up and seeing him looking around at the path as much as she

Torvil shook his head. "Not very thoroughly, I haven't had the time..." He smirked. "You've been occupying me of late..."

Ala chuckled "I have now huh" she said resting her head against him

Torvil chuckled. "Yep..." He nuzzled her head.

Ala purred softly "Well you don't seem to be complaining sooo I'll assume that's not a bad thing"

Torvil purred. "Very good thing... I haven't felt this good in ages..."

"And what makes you feel so good" she said with a purr turning down a path that crossed the one they were currently on

Torvil chuckled and nuzzled her ear. "Why you my darling..."

Ala giggled and purred, the path they were on a tad bit familiar then the last but one she hadn't walked on in a few months

Torvil purred and walked along and chuckled.

"Do you remember this path?" she asked walking past trees and areas that could have snow banks in the winter

Torvil purred, yes, he remembered quite well. "Yep..."

Ala chuckled "Good"

Torvil purred. "Good day that day..."

"Very good day.... " she said purring

Torvil chuckled. "Day the twins were conceived...

Ala nodded "And the day we admitted our feelings to each other" she added quietly

Torvil purred and nodded, nuzzling her ear. "One of the best days of my life..."

"And one of the best and most interesting of mine" she said stopping near a tree and placing her hand on it

Torvil purred and smiled, putting his hand on it too. "Yes... A great day indeed...:"

Ala turned her back to the tree and leaned against him grabbing his shirt and pulling him to her for a kiss like they had done so many weeks before

Torvil purred and leaned into it happily, remembering the first time he kissed her against this very tree... It had been out of impulse...

Ala pulled him closer purring loudly as she deepened the kiss

Torvil leaned and melted into the kiss, his hands roaming up and down her sides.

Ala held the kiss, this kiss would be more his choice of when to break seeings she was against a tree, she purred loudly feeling his touch

Torvil finally broke a few minutes later, panting happily. "Mmmm..."

Ala smiled "Nice tree, just as good for support as the first time we kissed here" she said

Torvil chuckled. "Yes..." He purred. "Remember the first time we were intimate... It was right..." He pointed about two or three feet away from the tree. "There..."

"Only toooo well" she said purring remembering it not only to be the first time she had been intimate with him but it being the first time she had with ANYONE

Torvil chuckled. "And the second place kinda floated away..." He murmured..."

Ala laughed "I suppose it did"

Torvil chuckled. "Oh well... Though I have a sneaking suspicion that's where the twins were conceived..."

"Why would you say that?" she said resting her hands on his hips

Torvil chuckled. "Well, you would have been showing by..." He blinked remembering something and laughed. "Never mind... That spot two feet away is..."

Ala quirked a brow she was very curious what he was thinking

"Remember when you had trouble putting your pants on the second time..."

Ala nodded "But I did get them on"

"Yes... But you were kinda showing..."

Ala looked at him with still quirked brow "You put me down and felt my belly, you said I wasn't...."

"I was wrong..." He said softly. "I was a tad jittery, and it was still to early for me to tell accurately by touch..."

Ala giggled "Well it turned out well one way or another"

Torvil purred happily, "Yeah..."

"So what other memories we want to talk about" she asked feeling in a reminiscing mood

Torvil purred. "Lets see..." He stroked her gem with a finger. "Remember when I grew mine?"

"Sure" she purred reaching and touching his gem "I remember it was in the back room"

Torvil nodded. "I'd been feeding on you..."

Ala nodded "I remember the sound it made against the floor"

Torvil nodded. "Hurt..."

"Like nothing ever felt before" she whispered touching her own gem remembering when it had resurfaced so many many years before

Torvil nodded. "Yeah..." He kissed her gem softly.

"How bout this one" she said looking at him as her tail wrapped around his arm

Torvil purred. "Now that was a very interesting... and very fun night..."

Ala purred and nodded "The night of our union"

Torvil purred. "Yes, our honeymoon..."

"Very honeymoon, I didn't want to leave that room for a long time" she purred reaching to stroke his face

Torvil purred. "And we didn't if I recall correctly..." He purred, and kissed her hand.

Ala laughed "No we made Vina baby-sit for a couple straight days"

Torvil chuckled. "She enjoyed it I think... She's always loved kids..."

Ala nodded looking up at him "Your turn to think of something"

Torvil thought for a moment and purred. "Remember when Selene came home covered head to toe in poison Ivy?"

Ala burst out laughing "Yes, just before they twins started to manifest, I passed out from dealing with the 3 of them"

Torvil chuckled softly. "Yeah, and Selene freaked out at your teeth..."

Ala smirked "She always was the one who did that or showed great interest, she was constant trying to catch my tail after it grew whereas Vin just watched"

Torvil chuckled. "Torvin watched everything..." He sighed. "It seems like so long ago..."

"They are 3 months old now so it has been..." she said agreeing

Torvil nodded and sighed. "Three months... feels like years..."

"For a race who grows as fast as yours I'm not surprised" she said

Torvil chuckled. "And years feel like decades..." he sighed and leaned his forehead against hers. "must feel short to you..."

"I'm still very young in the eyes of my people, but it's really hard to say, sometimes things seem short sometimes long depends on home I'm looking at it.. remember I'm picking up some of the ways of thought of your kind" she told him

Torvil smiled and kissed her nose. "I love you..."

"I love you too" she told him with a smile and a nuzzle

Torvil purred and rained kisses down onto her face.

Ala closed her eyes and purred

Torvil finally kissed her hotly.

Ala pulled him close to her returning his kiss and basking in the attention

Torvil purred and poured all his passion into the kiss, quite happy to be there with her, his hand went down her front and he softly rubbed bump.

Ala broke the kiss only when she found she needed air. "We should probably start walking again" she told him breathlessly

Torvil chuckled softly and pulled away a bit, starting to walk.

Ala pushed herself away from the tree rubbing her back a little as she caught up to him

Torvil smiled and turned around, taking off his Romani's a rare occurrence that only happened in two circumstances... When he wanted his face to be seen, and when He and Ala were getting intimate... "Notice anything different?" He asked, stopping.

Ala stopped and turned to face him lightly wrapping her arms around him as she studied his face "Hmmm" she reached up with one hand and brushed his long white bangs out of his face, took her a moment but she smiled tracing her finger where there was something missing, she nodded slightly

Torvil smiled. "They're gone, and so is my shame..."

"You never did tell me what shame that was" she said quietly running her fingers down the side of his face then his side till her hand returned to resting with the other

"The shame of killing Malkar and the innocent... but Malkar said I was forgiven by banishing them..."

Ala smiled softly "And Malkar is back" she said softly with a smile "I kinda think it'd be nice if they visited /us/ I can't expect to keep going back there too many times while I'm carrying bump"

Torvil chuckled. "I'll pass the word along when I see him next..."

Ala chuckled "You planning another trip or something?"

Torvil chuckled. "Just a quick little check up on Vina and the other members of the family..."

Ala nodded "I see" she sighed softly and let go of him starting to walk again

Torvil walked with her. "I was planning on taking you with..."

Ala looked in his direction "Faster alone" she mumbled looking down to the path

Torvil frowned. "I want to take you..." He murmured... walking to catch up and then gently putting a hand on her shoulder.

Ala sighed stopping feeling a lil moody in her reply as she spoke "All I do there is make people wonder why I'm still pregnant, be ignorant of customs that I don't know, get my mate punched and lectured" she didn't look up

Torvil hugged her close, knowing by now her mood was swinging. "For one, they can just shove their expectations... For two, you're ignorant because I am slightly ignorant, and I'm trying to teach you as best as I can, and not doing a good job, so that's my fault... and For three, the whole Mikiri things was again my fault..."

"I'm the one who told her what happened" she mumbled into his chest a single pink tear sliding down her cheek from her closed eyes

Torvil lifted her face to him and kissed the tear away, and then pulled her into a kiss.

Ala returned his kiss softly still not past her moodiness

Torvil broke his kiss slowly and held her to him, brushing her hair.

Sighing she leaned against him "So much to deal with and figure out" she murmured

Torvil nodded. "I have faith in you..." He murmured.

"I know less about my own people then I do about yours and I don't know a ton about them either" she sad feeling kinda stupid right about then

Torvil smiled softly and brushed her hair. "That happens love... You were left in a world with people who didn't know of your origin, who didn't recognize such amazing beauty and ability..."

Ala nodded and just rested against him calming down

Torvil smiled and brushed her hair and back

"I'm sorry love" she said quietly reaching up to brush a stray tear away

Torvil smiled. "You are forgiven, but you had no need to apologize..." He caught her hand before it could get rid of the tear, and lifted her face again, licking it away softly. "I love you..." he purred, and nuzzled her face before kissing her again.

"I've been rather moody lately lately" she said and kissed him softly, she still wasn't entirely sure why she WAS getting moody

Torvil nodded softly. "It's alright..." He murmured, holding her close and then broke the kiss.

Ala looked up at him silently looking into his eyes

Torvil's eyes were full of love for her. Moody or no, she was his wife, and he loved her. He loved her so much that he would without second thought, lay down his life for her. That sort of love is strong, and his eyes were full of it.

Ala smiled at what she saw "I love you" she told him

Torvil purred. "I love you too, heart of my heart, soul of my soul..."

Ala smiled "So now what should we do? I don't know what you had in mind if anything etc..." she said looking up at the noonday sun through the foliage

Torvil purred. "I had no real plans..." he said softly, brushing her hair. He looked around. "Hmmm... If I remember correctly..." He walked them back and to the left a few feet. "This is where we first were intimate..."

Ala giggled "And you sat in a snow bank right over there in the moonlight worried about the risks"

Torvil chuckled. "Yeah... Little good that did..." He smirked.

Ala giggled "I was willing to take the risks"

Torvil chuckled. "I was surprised... Most would say no..."

"Why do you say that?" she asked

"Well Silent didn't want kids to begin with, but let me try it with her once..." He muttered.

Ala blinked "Is that why she's rarely around for her daughter?"

Torvil shook his head. "I think she's just... Forgotten..." His eyes became sad. "She did want children... The second time around..."

Ala held him close not saying a word, as she watched him

"It hurts to remember it..." He murmured, looking down at her. "Can you help take the pain away..."

Ala pulled him as close as bump would allow and tippy toed pressing her lips against his

Torvil leaned into the kiss, letting himself become one with Ala, the memories fading and the pain subsiding.

Ala purred softly pouring her love into the kiss

Torvil's hands roamed up and down her back as he gave himself entirely to her in the kiss.

Ala shivered as his fingers brushed the edges of her nodes a couple times in his movement

Torvil purred and finally started to pay attention to her more sensitive areas, his fingers gently tracing the very edge of her nodes.

Ala's purrs grew much louder at his touch

Torvil finally broke the kiss and nuzzled her, his fingers paying a little bit rougher of attention on her nodes.

Ala moaned softly shivering in his arms, her eyes closed as she basked in the attention being given

Torvil finally stopped his attention to her nodes, just holding her close with his eyes closed.

Ala purred loudly leaning against him lightly panting

Torvil smiled and kissed her forehead.

Ala purred "Now what shall we do my love, my holder of my heart, the sun of the day and moon of my night" she was feeling slightly flirty

Torvil purred. "Anything that my Queen, Mistress, holder of the key to the lock of my heart, desires..."

Ala laughed "I don't know what I want to do, there's still a lot of light today we haven't been walking all that long maybe an hour or two... but I had no plans today at all"

Torvil chuckled and tapped his chin. "Hmmm..." There was a part of him who wanted her... But there was another part that thought that perhaps she wanted a rest from that... They had after all been very intimate as of late...

"Everyone we know lives so far away... we just saw the twins I don't want to overwhelm or make them feel like they are being checked up on by going there toooo often"

Torvil nodded and finally found himself sitting on the ground trying to think.

Ala looked down at him blinking

"Sitting help me think..." He patted his lap. "Having you in my lap helps too..."

Ala laughed and dropped softly into his lap

Torvil purred, his hands stroking her hair. His mind kept giving him dirty thoughts though.

Ala purred and leaned on him waiting for him to come up with good idea

"We could always... You know..." He was having trouble today being vocal...

Ala chuckled" that all you can think of?"

Torvil blushed. "Right now yes..." He muttered, feeling a bit dirty because of it.

Ala started laughing , more of a giggle laugh and didn't stop, she was having a hard time stopping

Torvil fought hard to hide a frown, he knew it was probably just a swing, but that didn't mean that it didn't hurt. He just brushed her hair.

Ala slowly calmed and looked up at him "I'm sorry love, I couldn't help it" she reached up and brushed her hand along his cheek softly

Torvil nodded. "Figured..." he said softly, but suffice it to say, mood killed... He sighed and kissed her hand.

Ala sighed letting her hand drop, she got up and started along the path again looking at the forest floor as she moved

Torvil followed her, and he had to admit, watching her from behind... Started to kick the mood back up... However he knew it hinged on her, and not him. He walked beside her and stopped her again, turning her towards him. He leaned down for a kiss.

Ala returned the kiss though someone half-heartily feeling at that time like she didn't do much right

Torvil broke softly. "My fault..." he murmured. "I forgot how alluring your giggles were..." he smirked and nuzzled her face.

Smiling softly and arms around herself she returned his nuzzle

Torvil purred, and his fingers started to run up and down her arms.

Ala stared into his face and eyes a small smile playing on her lips as he moved his hands

Torvil's eyes were so full of love it looked as if they were about to burst. In fact, there were small pools of red building up in his tearducts.

Ala smiled softly one hand letting go of her side and reaching up to wipe the corner of his eyes

Torvil smiled at her, and sniffled a little. "Well this is odd..."

"What?" she asked softly

"I have this sudden urge to hug you close and bawl my eyes out..." He sniffled again. "But I'm happy..."

"Tears of happiness" she said quietly resting her hand on his cheek

Torvil nodded and sniffled and did just that, pulling her close and crying softly into her hair.

Ala put her arms around him humming softly

Torvil's sobs finally subsided and he sniffled loudly, a hand wiping away the last few tears.

Ala continued to hum softly as he did quiet

Torvil lifted her face up to him via fingers under her chin, he leaned down and kissed her deeply.

Ala returned his kiss, this time whole-heartedly

Torvil purred happily and closed his eyes, melting into it.

Ala purred softly pressing her lips firmly against his

Torvil deepened the kiss turning it into a rough one.

Ala's purrs increased i volume her hands kneading the skin of his back

Torvil purred loudly as he pulled her as close as bump would allow.

Ala finally broke the kiss for air looking at him and panting lightly

Torvil had a big smile on his face, he had small red runnels down his face of course... Stains from his tears.

Ala smiled softly and ran the tip of her tongue along his cheek licking them away

Torvil purred softly, his hand brushing her back.

Ala purred and looked into his eyes "We should do something other then just stand here"

Torvil chuckled. "I'm up for anything..."

"Well I suppose we could start to head back, it's getting close to lunch time" she mused

Torvil nodded, and turned them towards the shop, walking them back. He smirked and as they walked, gave her rear a playful pinch.

Ala jumped a lil and giggled as she walked and headed into the house

Torvil purred. "What does my wife want for lunch?"

Ala shrugged "Something simple"

Torvil chuckled. "One soup de soup coming up..." He walked into the kitchen and then into the pantry.

Ala laughed and followed him in and sat down

Torvil came out with a vegetable soup and heated it up.

Ala purred softly still plotting in her mind as she waited for him

Torvil came over with two bowls and set them down on the table, one in front of her.

"Thanks love" she said pulling it close and adding her normal crackers smirking while she ate

Torvil purred and ate quickly, eventually ditching the spoon, and drinking the soup, chunks and all.

Ala laughed as she finished hers and watched him

Torvil purred and put his bowl down. "Done..." He beamed.

"I see this" she said pushing hers away

Torvil looked into hers. "You gonna finish off those last chunks... Those are the really good ones, they've got all the broth on the inside..."

Ala chuckled and shook her head

Torvil nodded and finished them for her.

Ala giggled and got up sauntering towards the bedroom

Torvil followed her, purring loudly.
