We're the grown ups now

There had been no doubt in her mind that her brother would follow her as she led him into the workshop, especially not with her not-so-subtle flirting and teasing, but the way he trotted after her and nipped at her rump still caught her off guard and pulled a little giggle from her as she tossed a playful glare back at him over her shoulder at him. She loved their relationship and how easy it was to be with him. She knew how easy it was for her to approach everything with a seriousness that made her seem older than her years, but Saracyn brought out a playfulness in her and made it so easy to let out this flirtatious side of herself. She brought him into her new workshop and as he looked around the space and admired it she couldn't help but wear a proud grin–both because of the workshop itself and because of the life they were making together here. It felt like they had finally made it. She knew they were both still very young in the grand scheme of things, but this was something she hadn't been sure they could be allowed to have and yet they did it, they had found a way to have this love they shared and start making a place of their own in this world.

A small, bashful smirk crossed her lips at her brother's insistence that everything she did was perfect, her dark eyes rolling with a chuckle even though he still made her smile. If she only listened to Saracyn and believed every word he said about her then her ego would be as big as this island so she had to take his complements with a little bit of skepticism, but she did still appreciate his confidence in her all the same. When he turned his gaze to find hers and he asked a more genuine question, asking her if it was everything she had hoped it would be, she couldn't help but feel as though he wasn't just talking about her new workshop. It pulled a more real smile across her lips and her expression softened with a look of love in her obsidian gaze as she closed the small gap between them to press a tender kiss to his lips. "Everything that I had hoped for and more," she replied, her tail wagging gently behind her.
