welcome home

Elise leaned into Iroh's touch as he joined her on the furs without a moment of hesitation. Now that they were alone in his clearly carefully crafted den she felt like she could fully relax again and felt the last bit of tension slide away from her shoulders. There was no doubt that this was now her home and she was thrilled to have made it to this point with Iroh. Settling down with anyone had felt like a far flung dream for a few years, but he had found a way to completely turn all of that around. It was hard to keep her thoughts from spiraling off toward the future and all the room that their relationship still grow into even though she just wanted to focus on the here and now.

"I would love some," she agreed, leaning over to press her nose to his cheek. After all of the times that she had enjoyed tea with him she had really started to develop a taste for it. Though she still wasn't sure what she enjoyed more - the actual taste of the tea itself or just the fact that it was something so unique to Iroh that she couldn't have with anyone else. She waited while the tea was served before settling more into Iroh's side and tucking herself into the larger nook his body formed for her. After being on her best behavior all day it was certainly hard to keep her attention on anything other than her mate and thankfully she didn't have to think about anything else right now.

She gently blew across the surface of the steaming drink between her ivory paws while casting a glance toward Iroh, a little smile pulling at the corners of her mouth whenever their eyes would meet. After lapping up a couple long drinks of the tea she sat back a bit with a pleased hum. "Delicious as always!"
