Summer Sunder

Elise would forever be entranced by his unique gaze and the sometimes not so subtle flirting he always offered her. She was naturally a flirt on her own accord, but he brought that out in her even more and it almost seemed as if they fed off of each other in that regard. Maybe that's why they were always so insatiable - not that she was complaining. She grinned with amusement when he asked about being obvious with his intentions and she teased, "I'm afraid subtlety isn't always your strong suit, my love." As soon as he mentioned a trip - a vacation in fact - she was fully on board. He knew exactly what she needed without her ever needing to say and that was one of the many things that made being with him so easy. She leaned into his side as he shifted to stand next to her, nuzzling into his neck with a grin. "Say no more... You had me at "trip," she insisted with a chuckle, giving his cheek a playful lick before setting off toward Auster with him. No need to waste any time, in her opinion at least.

The Wildberry Grove would most certainly always have a special place in her heart. It was where this amazing relationship of their's began and every each time they returned here it only led to more and more amazing memories. Sure, at some point she'd want to explore the rest of Auster more thoroughly as well, but she couldn't think of anywhere more perfect for a little winter vacation. Not only was she getting to spend some time with Iroh all to herself, but they were escaping a bit of the cold and coming back to a place that she loved so much. The trip felt like it flew by as they shared little bits of conversation and sweet nothings along the way, sneaking in kisses and affections any chance she could. If it wasn't obvious that she was head over heels for this man yet, this certainly proved it.

Her wide, blue gaze shifted upward as they passed through the maple trees, the dapples of fading sunlight filtering through and adding more spots and lines to her coat in the form of shifting shadows. A relaxed, happy grin spread across her face and she giggled as she turned her attention back toward Iroh, looking at him adoringly. The ever present sweet smell of berries was in the air and continued to pull back all of those memories that she could always look back on fondly. "It feels like ages ago and just yesterday that we met each other here," she mentioned wistfully as she leaned into his side again, tipping her head up to leave a teasing lick along his jaw.
