Moving day

Deluge leaned into the kiss, a brow arching at his threat of visits yet to come. "An' yer don' think we'll be too weighed down under a mountain o' our own brats ter make th' trip?" she teased with a half-lidded smirk. They'd only just made things official, no need to go scaring the guy off with talks of kids and marriage but the way they were going something was bound to happen one way or another. "I suppose, if there're enough other reasonably sized trees nearby, we can always add extensions..." she conceded with a sigh. They wouldn't want to make it too appealing though, or someone else would move in as soon as they cleared out.

The problem with rainforest trees, was that the canopy crowded out new growth, there were trees that were behemoths in size, but the understory was all spindly, weedy, bendy things. She had an idea though, away from the centre of the forest and closer to a small waterfall pool. Someone had even planted bamboo nearby once upon a time she was sure (how else would it have gotten here from the Shrine?). She moved with purpose, following the sound of running water. Hell, they could probably even build out a deck by the pond and move some of the pretty koi fish from one of the other islands, or had they already been moved here? The water was pretty clear, cool in comparison to the tropical atmosphere, and fresh. The break in the canopy allowed few more decent sized trees to grow closer together. "How abou; somewhere 'round 'ere?"
