Working together

While he had wanted to linger and sip on the drink a bit longer as well, it was better they were swift to get back to work. They were very nearly finished and there was no point in slowing down at this point. They could have all day to lounge and enjoy each other’s company. For now, he focused on the thatch job he was doing, which wasn’t spectacular if he was being honest. Albion was not a master roofer, and it would likely need to be redone before the weather started turning warm again. It wasn’t going to last the spring rains, but maybe the winter snows.

At the very least, he had helped save Avacyn a half a day of work, he was working to uphold his end of the bargain for her. The real prize once he had placed the last massive frond and stuck it into place was Ava’s grin and her happy wagging tail. His affection for her was mostly innocent, he enjoyed making her smile, he liked the attention she gave him, and most of all he enjoyed the sweet kisses she placed upon his cheek. Like the one she gave him now after thanking him for his help.

His cheeks flushed softly at her touch, and he leaned in slightly to her affection. "You’re welcome.” They didn’t linger there for very long, as Ava grabbed a large hide to spread out for their picnic. She laid out the food, stating after so much effort they deserved the dinner. "More than earned.” Albion chuckled quietly as he shifted his massive weight to sit beside her. She had a simple meal for them, but hunger was the best spice and he was famished.
