Vera blushed as he wiped the icing off her cheek with a thumb, "Thank you...It's a bit messy, isn't it?" she chuckled.

She wasn't sure what to say to that. "I see... It seems hard to imagine.... But perhaps that is EXACTLY why you two are so close? It must've been hard to build up that trust from what you felt before. And because it was so hard you two became that much closer. Don't you agree? A relationshio built on work and hardship will almost always be stronger." she smiled at him, "Well, hopefully you won't have to worry as much with us both protecting her now, right?" Veragwen laid her head on his shoulder, and huddled close to him, as they watched the stars.

She had to admit this was a very different feeling from what she was used to. Rarely did people treat her as a woman. It was nice. She sighed and pushed away a little, "I suppose so. And I'd be happy if you came with me, Kest." she smiled at him, "Do you and Mara have a place to stay? I suppose so, since she hurried off already. If not you're welcome to stay at my house. It's not the largest, but it's cozy. Also free!"
