time stops in a settled snow globe

The pair of them had now spent more years together than they had apart, completely entwining their lives in all ways. Twig couldn’t imagine where she would be without him at her side. No one else had such a deep commitment as Corvus had for her, and the inverse was completely true as well. They were mostly in agreement about the trip he was taking, he would be back as swiftly as he could and for that Twig was grateful. She was older and stronger these days but she couldn’t do without him.

Corvus hinted that perhaps he would find her a gift while he was out, but really all she wanted was for him to come home safe and sound to her after a job well done. Of course a girl couldn’t say no to a gift, and she grinned up at him in response. "I’d love to see what kind of souvenir you pick out.” She giggled amusedly, trying to find the joy in the moment instead of dwelling on their coming time apart.

Their attention swiftly shifted back to the present moment only, as she wrapped him up in her embrace and felt the rumbling of his chest in agreement. She grinned back at him as they shared in the little affections. Feeling like time had stopped in the surreal quiet of the orchards. Her little nuzzles elicited a few carefully placed nibbles against her neck, a stronger suggestion to the parting gift she was offering. A mischievous grin played over her caramel features as innocent nuzzles turned to playful kisses.

"I could wait until you get back…” She suggested as her violet gaze met his jade. Corvus assured her that he wouldn’t mind such a parting gift. "Easier said than done.” Twig chuckled again as her eyes fluttered closed and she pressed her lips to his. He wouldn’t forget how much he loved her in the few days he was gone, she would make certain of that.

-wanna fade?-
