Sometimes it's the little things

Avacyn watched with eager curiosity as Saracyn went for the leg of mutton first, hoping that she had guessed the timing on the cook correctly. Luckily it seemed like his assurances that it was cooked perfectly had been truthful since he tore into the juicy piece of meat and she was pleased to see that it was just the color and doneness she had been trying to achieve. She returned his grin and chuckled as he obviously savored and enjoyed the bite he took, her tail wagging happily behind her. She had always found the most enjoyment and joy in projects and tasks that let her create something that other wolves around her could enjoy and this was certainly no exception to that. Seeing her mate enjoy the meal she prepared was almost better than enjoying it herself. She happily took a bite of the mutton herself when it was handed over to her so she could test it out herself, humming with a pleased, proud hum as she enjoyed it as well.

As they snuggled together, sharing their dinner and this impromptu date that she had brought to fruition, she looked up at her brother with a happiness and a peace that she hadn't felt in quite a while. "It was fine, but now it's excellent," she replied as he questioned how her day was with a little grin, giving his chin a teasing lick as she peered up into his stunning cerulean eyes and entwined her tail with his. It had been so long since they had gotten to spend some time together like this for no other reason than to just be with one another. While it had felt a little silly and trivial at the time to put this much effort into what was ultimately just their dinner, she realized now just how much they had needed this. She nuzzled his cheek happily before she returned her attention back to their food, snagging a bite of the venison. "And yours? Find anything interesting during your patrols?"
