"If it were possible, that would be true," I agreed, grinning. "Though I may become deaf my choice at that rate."

Laughing, I moved over and climbed into his lap, curling up against him.
"I love you," I said, laying my head on his shoulder.

"And I you, amor," I told her with a smile, resting my head lightly atop hers for a moment as my arms instinctively wrapped around her. "You know, if I wasn't so comfortable I'd tickle you into submission." My jest showed in my eyes and expression, and I finished it by hugging her closer.

"Then I'm glad you're comfortable," I replied, chuckling and snuggling against him a little more.
I could see the lights of the estate in the distance, but growing steadily closer.
"This summer, can we come and spend some time here? Mother and Father are traveling most of the summer and we would have it mostly to ourselves."

"Certainly," I agreed. "I enjoy the City well enough, but it's a bit odd to not have a greater expanse of wild around me. Since I was sixteen I've been on campaign, away from the greater part of civilization."

"Good," I said, grinning happily. "I hoped you'd like the idea."

"I'm glad I do, so I don't disappoint you," I teased. "Do you have anything planned for while we're there?"

"Not yet," I replied, smiling softly. "I thought I'd find out if you wanted to do it before I started thinking of plans. Do you have any requests?"

"I look forward to being outdoors, as I'm hoping you do," I replied with a loving smile of my own. "Otherwise I may be lonely."

"You won't be lonely, I am looking forward to that too. And the open spaces. While they don't seem quite as strange to me as to you, I am still not used to being in the City all the time. I miss all the freedom of being outside the City walls," I said, smiling.

"The freedom," I echoed, thinking fondly of it. "I only wish I could easily take you to my home and show you what I remember from childhood."

Lifting my head, I brought my hand up and caressed his cheek.
"You will," I said, smiling. "I want to see it all and we will work it out."

"I know," I assured her confidently. "It's simply working out the timeline. Speaking of family, one of my cousins may be coming to the City soon."

"How wonderful!" I said excitedly, sitting up slightly and looking at him. "Who is it?"

"My cousin, Mercedes," I told her. "She spent some time in Terre d'Ange about five or six years ago and has decided to return."

The carriage swayed slightly as we left the main road and began up to the estate.
"We shall have to have her over to visit. Where is she going to stay?"

"Probably the same place I did when I first arrived- the Palace's Foreign Guest Quarters," I replied, smiling to know we were closer to her estate and glad to be getting out of the carriage for even a few minutes. "When it gets closer to the date of her arrival I'll receive a more exact date and go to meet her, as well as extend the invitation to visit."

"She can stay with us if you'd like," I told him. "I don't know how close you two are but if you think she'd be happier with us there's certainly room."

"I will offer it, but I think this may be a time she wants to spread her wings and have some independence," I replied thoughtfully. "She's never had much of that by Aragonian ways, and she's half-d'Angeline as well, so likely she's craving some time to learn of herself."

"Ah, that's understandable," I said, smiling.
I kissed him softly and then moved to the seat as the carriage began to slow in front of the estate.

Smiling, I kissed her in return and then looked toward her family home. "It really does look like a lovely place to grow up," I commented. "Do you think Shylah's enjoyed herself?"

"As much as was possible. I'm sure she received lots of pampering," I replied with a smile as the carriage stopped.
I was so glad Nic had agreed to spend some time out here. I loved our house in the City, but I missed home and I wanted some time with him here. I was really looking forward to it.

"You're happy, therefore I will be as well," I told her with a sincere smile as I kissed her soundly. "We'll get your precious Shylah, let you have a nice reunion- and then find our beds. Unless, of course, you object?"
She wouldn't, I knew, and I stepped down to help her out of the carriage. We needed a little vacation, and this time would be perfect, I just knew it.
