Andia: The Revolution

[Eltee]

"I am excited! You made it sound so romantic!" Aarys said, pouting.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin rinsed out his hair and stepped out of the tub with a towel around his waist. "Alright, babe." he said, running a comb through his hair. "Are you dry already?"

[Eltee]

Her hair was still a little damp, but that was all. "I'm ready!" She said enthusiastically. "Do you want to get Hot Cider or Hot Chocolate?" She asked.

[King Acunasti]

"You choose." Valentin laughed. "Why don't you go get the drinks while I dry off? I'll get the candles and meet you back at the tent."

[Eltee]

"Okay!" Aarys said brightly. She dressed, and set off for the mess.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin smiled as he dried himself off and slipped into his clothing. He went outside and searched for a set of candles near the supply tents.

[Eltee]

After about fifteen minutes, Aarys found two pewter mugs, and got a carafe of hot, spiced cider. She started back towards the tent.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin arrived moments later with a small chest of candles. "I got em', gorgeous."

[Eltee]

"MMh..." They smell nice." Aarys said dreamily, sitting down.

[King Acunasti]

With the candles all lit and placed elegantly around the tent, Valentin filled two mugs with cider and held one out for Aarys. "A mug for my fair lady." he said in a mock pompous voice.

[Eltee]

"My... Kind... Sir?" Aarys tried, accepting the mug. She laughed. "Hahaha! I can't do it."

[King Acunasti]

Valentin grinned, taking a sip of the cider. "I started working on your wedding ring." he said.

[Eltee]

"Really?" Aarys said. "I am looking forward to seeing it." She said. "I just know it'll be perfect."

[King Acunasti]

"It'll be perfect." Valentin agreed. "You don't deserve anything less."

[Eltee]

Aarys lightly kissed him. "You're perfect too, Val. Perfect for me. And, don't ever ever doubt that."

[King Acunasti]

Valentin whistled in disbelief. "I've seen tons of other people with brown eyes." he stated. "But yours are so godd*mn gorgeous! It's like...It's like they're on fire or something. They're perfect. Holy sh*t, I love them."

[Eltee]

"I love your eyes too, Val." Aarys said softly. "Grey, and soft, like frost on heather in the morning... I can look into your eyes and fall in, because I can just... see all the love, and caring that's in there. I just... I know that you will always be there for me, and it really, really is the greatest feeling I have ever known in my life.""

[King Acunasti]

Valentin set his mug down without taking his eyes off of the Woodland Elf. "Now?" he asked.

[Eltee]

"I was hoping we could just... Talk, and kiss for a little while first." Aarys said, hopefully.

[King Acunasti]

"I can draw you." Valentin suggested.

[Eltee]

Aarys' eyes lit up. "Okay." She whispered, taking a tiny sip from her Cider. "Well, Mister Artisan, pick a pose for me!"

[King Acunasti]

Valentin searched through his belongings and pulled out a somewhat large sheet of paper and a pencil. "Choose any pose you want." he said. "Just make sure you're smiling."

[Eltee]

Never taking her eyes off of Valentin's, Aarys's hands went to her shirt, which she removed. She then reclined back on the furs. I love you, she mouthed.

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

Too bad JV's not here to link some sappy music.

Valentin nodded with a smile. "Beautiful..." he whispered. He spent the next 15 minutes or so drawing intently with a serious expression. The speed in which he created the piece was incredible.

He stopped drawing for a moment. "Aarys?" he asked quietly.

[Eltee]

"..." Aarys appeared to have drifted off, thinking. "Yeah?" She whispered in response.
