You're as young as you feel

Tamsyn wasn't kept waiting for very long before the shift and sway of the grasses moving around an approaching figure reached her ears. A grin tugged at her lips as she turned her gaze toward the sound, spotting Kane over the top of the grasses. Her tail wagged gently across the surface of the fur she was laying on as he came to join her, returning his grin and chuckling at his question about her "hot date". "The hottest date," she teased back as he flopped down beside her, pulling a pleased hum from her as he nuzzled the back of her neck. She always loved how affectionate he was and these moments that they had alone together gave her plenty of opportunity to enjoy him and those affections to her heart's content. As much as she adored her children and loved being a mother, she was throughly enjoying having an empty nest at least so she could enjoy him as much as she wanted for the rest of her days.

When he questioned what all of this was for, she gave him another smile and giggled softly, kissing the end of his nose. "This is for you, handsome. A little celebration for your birthday just for the two of us." If their children were still living with them and not out exploring the wide open world she likely would have had a proper dinner with the family and then swept him away for some personal celebrations later, but since it was just the two of them it was easier to do a bit of both at the same time. "I know we don't need an excuse for a date night, but I still like to surprise you from time to time," she insisted with a grin, brushing her tail over the top of his thigh as she tipped her head up to nuzzle at his cheek.

She reached for the meats that had just finished roasting then, pulling over the skewers of venison and hardy vegetables that she laid out on a flat piece of stone like a platter. Between that and the bowl of berries and honey that sat off to the side for dessert she was sure there was more food here than they would be able to finish, but what kind of surprise feast would it be without an impressive plate of food? "I might have another little something for you after dinner," she added temptingly as they began to eat, leaning into his side while she enjoyed her own handy work and the sun continued to set, slowly revealing the stars and the round, white moon overhead.
