Throw me in the water

Corvus knew he was delayed in the whole relationship department. Truthfully, Ignis's confession hadn't helped things any - he felt like it had stalled his own thoughts on the matter for awhile, making him doubt he even knew what love was. But Twig had to be it. He was sure of it. Even if his relationship didn't look quite like anyone else's, that was fine. Even the little display between Poem and Sparhawk at the meeting had made him wonder if he was doing something wrong, but he tried to ignore those feelings of inadequacy. Twig would tell him if he was doing anything wrong, wouldn't she? He hoped today might give her a glimpse into just how much he cared for her... if she was doubting it at all.

He felt his nerves grow as she came into view, but dissipated slightly as she leaned in to kiss him. "I was," he answered easily. He didn't hesitate to return her affections, leaning to nuzzle her shoulder gently, lingering there for a moment. "I have a surprise for you," Corvus started carefully. "But, you have to agree to something first. If you hate it, you have to tell me. Promise?" He watched her expectantly, hoping she wouldn't be disappointed, but most of all he hoped she would tell him if he didn't like what she'd prepared for her. That was the most important part of all. If she agreed, he twisted around to lead her through the thicket, as excited as he was nervous.
