Summer Sunder

He hoped that their time apart might lead to Elise growing more comfortable with her place and role here in Aerie. She was his mate, the love of his life, and the sun with which his world revolved around. However much she meant to him Iroh wanted her to find her place here. She was so much more than just his woman and he wanted his family to know that. Already she’d familiarized herself with her new home, and he’d seen the fruits of her labors as she worked out where her skills would be the most well utilized.

All of her hard work and effort wouldn’t go unnoticed by him, that was why he was so eager to take her out and about. She hadn’t been there long, but Iroh would keep every promise he made to her. Including the one that she would not be held behind pack borders. Iroh was loathe to deter her free spirit, so his suggestion of the grove would be just that. A suggestion. He wanted to put Elise in the lead, to follow her wherever her heart desired.

Iroh wasn’t forced to wait for very long, as he figured Elise was eager to meet him at the odd location. He could see the sudden look of realization that overtook her features as she realized what he might have planned for the two of them. The spotted beauty called him out on his motives as she approached with a sweet grin and her tail wagging at her lovely hips. Iroh returned her grin and kiss, though his was slightly more suggestive than her easy affection.

”Am I so obvious?” He asked with a chuckled as he pulled back to admire her beautiful gaze. ”I thought I’d ask my lady to join me on a trip… a vacation you could say.” He offered with a crooked smile as he aimed to shift himself to stand shoulder to shoulder with her. ”If you’re ready, I know I’ve sprung it on you but I think I’ve packed enough for the two of us to make it to the grove.” Their special little place in Auster that would always hold a special place in his heart.
