Sometimes it's the little things

Saracyn returned Avacyn's grin with a lopsided one of his own when she confirmed she was indeed waiting for her romantic date to arrive. His bushy tail began to wag ever so slightly behind him, even more so when she came up to kiss him on the cheek. Ava explained that this was just a nice little date night for the two of them to enjoy, no forgotten special occasions on his behalf, and Sara chuckled while he watched her begin to set out their food. "Well, happy date night to us then," he jested, his nose flaring as he breathed in the delicious aromas of the cooking food. "Everything looks wonderful, Ava. Thank you for this." Once his mate had laid out all their plating and food, the dire brute shifted a little on the cushions to make room for his mate to come and cuddle up next to his side while they ate. There was so much food and it was clear Ava had put a lot of time and effort into this for them to enjoy.

After Avacyn had gotten settled in beside him and gave him permission to dig in, Saracyn responded with a delighted rumble and nuzzled his snout through Ava's scruff in a little sign of affection before turning his attention on their grilled feast. While his twin started with the vegetables, Saracyn the carnivore turned on the leg of mutton first. "I'm sure it's cooked perfectly, my soul mate." As if to prove that point, Sara took a sizable bite straight out of the meaty sides of the haunch, revealing the pinkish interior still dripping with seared-in juices. A murr of approval and delight rumbled in Saracyn's chest as he chewed and swallowed the savory roasted meat, flashing a grin to Avacyn. "See? Perfectly done." He took another sizable bite of the mutton before setting the leg back down in front of Ava so she could share some with him, then reached for one of the venison chops. "How was your day, Miss Matriarch?" he asked, maintaining casual conversation while they ate and snuggled together, his piercing cerulean eyes peering down to gaze lovingly into her deep jet black jewels.
