Sunshine Healing

It was several days after the turmoil that Syanna had gone through to end the pregnancy that had resulted from being trapped with her attacker and Ezra had hardly left her side, insisting on caring for her and getting things for her while she recovered regardless of how she felt about it. He knew she usually liked to do things for herself and he respected that about her so much, but after laying there with her and not being able to help of effect the outcome of any of it he felt like he was making up for it in some small way. He still forced himself to keep up with his usual patrols and hunts only because he knew she would chew his ear off if he didn't just to stay with her more, but this day he had gotten his patrols covered by one of the other warriors and they were more than stocked up in the food stores so he didn't need to go hunt. Today he had other plans.

He slipped out of their room that morning and got a little picnic set up out on the plains for them. It wasn't anything fancy, just a fur rolled out next to the stream with a couple of venison steaks and a little bag of berries, but it suited his needs just fine. Going back inside and up to their room, he didn't close the door when he came in like he usually did, instead walking over to the edge of the bed and standing along side of it with a nod of his head, giving her a grin. "Come on! Hop on! I'm taking you outside." Sure, maybe she could have walked herself, but it was more fun this way. "We need lunch and you need some sunlight and to get out of this room for awhile. No buts!"

Once she finally gave in and settled onto his back, Ezra carried her out to the plains and to the little picnic area he had set up for them. There was only so much he could do to help her, but he was certainly trying his best. He carefully lowered himself onto the fur and helped her down beside him, snuggling around her and nuzzling her cheek. It was a beautiful day outside with the warm sun above them and just a few lazy clouds drifting by. It felt strange that the world just kept on going and turning around them no matter what had happened or was going on. Sometimes it felt hard to keep up with it all and it just made him want to focus on one small thing at a time—like a little picnic with his love.
