dinner and a surprise

She had greeted Syanna almost lazily as the woman gave her a quick greeting on her way to the kitchen while Lillith waited for Romulus to appear. The knowing look the fox like woman gave her made Lil blush slightly. There wasn’t much private about their private time together, likely anyone in the castle knew what was up if they put a little thought behind it. Lilith was a little embarrassed but her time with Roman made any shame a distant memory.

He returned with the bottle of wine and made himself comfortable next to her, offering a cheek to be kissed before stealing one from her lips before she would pull away. She giggled into the affection again, her blush growing as Syanna was forgotten and it seemed like the whole world dimmed out so it was only the two of them there at the hearth.

She really didn’t know what she would do without him, he was her sun and moon and stars, her life had swiftly changed to revolve around him. He was her lifeline, more than a drug and more than an addiction. He was vital. She grinned up at him as he beamed down at her, a sly smirk playing on his features as he worked the cork off the bottle so he could sample the brew before passing it to her. The look of the bottle already alerted her, but the scent of it was truly familiar.

Before she could take the bottle from him Syanna’s voice broke through the spell and the quiet. Surprise overtook her features as she tried to grasp that the healer was talking to them. Garnet gaze lifted to the woman and she realized she was being admonished. Slate tipped ears fell to her skull and confusion filled her. Condition? She was old enough to drink and she hadn’t ever heard about staying away from alcohol while you were in heat.

"What?” She asked softly, worry all over her features as she looked helplessly to Syanna to explain, there wasn’t a single inkling in her brain about what she could be talking about. She should have though, after all as Syanna said they were healers after all.
