Roan walked happily, excitement racing through him every time Iolaire brushed against him suggestively. The weather was cold, and even more so on the side of the mountain. This was the main reason he hadn’t post poned his surprise to ravish her on the trail. Her little looks and touches told him her train of thinking was similar, and he was eager to arrive at the destination. Anticipation built between them, and Roan reveled in it.

He felt his cheeks flush as she called him out on his own misstep. He grinned back at her. ”Alright, but just for you.” Roan chuckled as he continued, careful to keep his paws on the trail. He couldn’t scare her to death before showing her what he’d prepared for her. He hoped all the excitement didn’t lead to disappointment, being together was the real treasure, but he wanted her to feel special and doted upon. He’d done all of this for her, his wife.

”We’re here.” He told her as the crested a small ridge. There a few meters ahead was the small entrance to the cave he’d found. Roan had been careful to mark off a boundary and as he sniffed the air cautiously he was sure it had worked. They were completely alone. Roan led the way, pulling back a thick piece of hide he’d put over the door to keep the snow and cold out. Like a gentleman he held it open for her to enter.

Inside he’d lined the cozy space with thick buffalo and large ungulate pelts. Over top of those were the softer smaller animals. Rabbits mostly, but he’d managed to find a couple few chinchillas to add to the collection. He had no intentions of letting her get cold, but there was plenty of blankets if they needed. To further the layering of their love den he’d been saving up roses from before the winter started. Maybe they were a little crunchy by now but they were still there. Red, white, and pink petals were scattered about and in the corner a dried bouquet was on display. A small shelf lined the edges of the cave and Roan placed odd little objects called candles. He wouldn’t have ever figured them out, but he’d run into a small band of traders while he’d been out here. For a bison calf hide he’d managed to bargain for 5 beeswax candles.

Unfortunately he hadn’t been able to light them before they arrived, so they stood dark. Roan grinned, watching Iolaire as she took in the surprise love nest.
