"Green," I called out from the other room. "But honestly, don't worry about impressing them, they will love you."
I had finished washing off and was running a brush through my hair before I braided it for the ride.

Smiling, I made my way into the bathing room, a purple shirt and some plain brown breeches in hand as I walked to the washbasin. Quickly I washed up, then dressed and brushed my hair. "I just want to come across as charmingly and wonderfully as I am," I teased, pouting a little.

"Then don't worry about what to wear and just be yourself," I replied, smiling wide and then returning to the bedroom to dress.
I put on a lightweight moss green dress that was ideal for riding and then sat to lace up my boots.

After slipping my own boots on I went back into the room and knelt, finishing her laces. "I do love you, you know."

"I love you too," I told him, my voice tender with emotion. He was so good to me, in big ways and small.

Finished with her boots I kissed her knees, then rose and held out my hands to help her up. 'Are we already packed?"

"We are, the joys of an efficient staff," I said with a grin as I stood. "I think we might even have time for a quick bite to eat before we leave."

"That would be nice." Still holding her hands I led her over to the tray of food and picked up an apple, handing it to her with a wink.

I took the apple and considered it for a moment.
"Don't you think I already have enough apple in me?" I asked teasingly.

"Oh yes, but it's so delightful eaten vicariously I thought more would be even better," I replied slyly as I picked up a piece of bread and wrapped it around a slice of cheese.

Blushing and laughing all at once, I set the apple down and picked up some bread and cheese as well.
"Keep talking like and we will never get out of here," I told him before beginning to eat.

"Sure we will," I told her after I'd swallowed a bite. "I simply have to tell you 'no'. It can't be that hard."

"You think so?" I asked between bites. "I'll have to test that some day."
I finished the bread and cheese then popped a fig in my mouth as I went to my dresser. I fetched a velvet bag that I knew hadn't been packed yet.

After finishing my own food and drinking some water I watched her for a moment. "What's that?" I asked curiously.

"The jewelry you gave me," I told him as I tucked it into my personal traveling bag. "I'm taking the dress also and I wanted to have this too."

I was used to traveling light and didn't really think of anything I didn't usually carry that I wanted to bring. "I'm glad you still like it," I told her.

"Of course I do," I said, going to him and caressing his cheek. "I will until the day I die, and then our daughter will have it and she will treasure it as well."

"Or finally admit her father had no taste," I teased. "But as she'll be yours I'm sure she'll be very kind to a silly old man like I will be then if I'm not dead already myself." Softly I caressed her cheek as well. "I keep wanting our wedding to be sooner."

"Me too," I told him, then smiled. "The sooner we go, the sooner it will happen, right?"

"I think that was the plan," I replied, kissing her forehead. "Let's go downstairs them. I know Noche and Soir must be dying to get out for a good run."

"I'm certain they are, as am I," I said with a smile. Shylah was riding in one of the carriages whenever she didn't want to run so when we got to the estate, everyone I loved would be there. It was going to be perfect.
I took his hand and began tugging him downstairs. "Let's go," I said, laughing.

Chuckling, I eagerly went with her, ready to be gone as well.
