The Summer Bonfire Festival (Year 20)

If Talyssa wished to return home for a time, then that's where they would go. The hulking brute accompanied his lady onto the lands of her family, sticking close to her side. She'd filled him in about the reason for this bonfire festival and Quill considered his own beliefs on the matter. Did he believe in an afterlife? No... he didn't think he did. There'd never been any proof of it other than word of mouth and that wasn't enough for him. If Talyssa believed in the bonfire and honoring the dead however, then he would do his best to understand.

They'd worked to rebraid the thick mane around his neck with a little difficulty, but they'd managed. He needed to look nice to meet what could potentially be his future in-laws. Talyssa always looked nice and so it was little effort for her to prepare herself for their arrival. It wouldn't have been acceptable for Quill to show up looking like some tangled, dirty madman. What a first impression that would have been.

The marbled behemoth sat near his little golden woman, stoic, silent. At least until she questioned him. Pink and blue eyes shifted downwards to meet pale ice and one shoulder lifted in a shrug. "Perhaps when I was younger, but I don't remember. We haven't officially met, at least." Quill lowered his head, righting a rogue fur on Tal's forehead with a kiss. "Are you nervous to have your father meet me?" He wouldn't blame her if she was. He was Chimera Kleins son, after all.
