Epimethius wanted to do something special for Genesis, so he snuck away after he had snuggled Genesis into slumber. Kissed his face and unwrapped him sell from his monochromatic body. He had spent time deciding which tree in the willows would make the best den, sniffed around and found some Dunamis-smelling areas, and had sharply turned around and gone the other direction until the scent had long since faded away. And then he found the perfect willow, it stood alone, guarded by a small pond of its own. It had a little land bridge, just big enough to make whatever lived in the waters not so much an issue.

He had walked up to it and spent time digging it out, packing the dirt in afterward. Making sure it was spacious enough for both him and Genesis, and their uh, activities. He had then gathered as many soft things as possible, a few fur pelts from past hunts he had gathered. Downy from birds, and stuffed it all together to make a soft bed for his Genesis.

He wanted to show his care with more than just physical interest, he wanted to show Genesis how much he mattered. After he was finished making their bed, he set a few candles near the entrance leading down to the path.

And then he went back to retrieve the only thing missing, and the most important thing there was in this moment. Genesis. He had felt tension and an odd sense of nervousness in his chest, he let out a soft breath as he moved to nudge Genesis’s sleeping form. “Wake up darling.” His voice was soft, as it almost always was when he was with Gene, “I have something to show you.” he purred.
