I like long walks on the beach

Watching Lillith's expression of shock and disbelief grow as he laid out his lavish plans for the day made it so difficult to keep up the facade of seriousness and not burst into laughter straight away. Once the other shoe had dropped and she realized he was teasing her, then the laughter came out, the poor Adravendi girl actually seeming relieved to find out they were just spending a day on the beach instead of traversing the entire world. But where he had been teasing her with his offer to spend the day snuggling in bed just to make her cheeks light up with some more of that adorable blush, Lillith actually offered it to him in earnest as a treat when they came back. He blinked, taken aback by Lil's impish grin on her sweet face, but soon found himself grinning back in return. he had no idea what truly played inside the silvered girl's fantasies, but he didn't need to to know that grin meant fun.
Oh! All right, girl, I see where your mind's at... He would never have expected sweet little Lillith, who seemed to blush every time he winked at her, to be so rebellious. Roman quite liked it, actually! Staying inside the lines and following the rules all the time was so boring! He was glad to see some of Lil's feisty spirit come out like that. "Yeah, I'd really like to keep all of my limbs attached to my body," he agreed with a nod of his head and a husky chuckle. "Good thing these doors have locks on them then." He winked a silver eye at her and pushed the rest of her meal towards her so she could eat without distraction. "You finish eating, then we'll go see about mountains and dragons and whatever else I made up on the spot."
Still smiling like the happiest wolf in the world, Roman reluctantly slipped away from Lillith's touch to allow her to finish her breakfast while he stepped over to her balcony and pushed the door open, allowing some fresh autumn air to come into the room. The day was sunny and warm, and as Romulus stared out over the eastern fields surrounding the castle while waiting for Lillith to get ready, he began to imagine what lied just beyond his sight. There was a whole world his family used to travel and he couldn't wait to see it! But for today, he'd start with the beach.
