At the appointed time, I made my way to Gentian house. My heart beat like a drum at the thought of seeing Xaurora again, and I had to pause in my waking every so often to take a deep breath.
Settling on the steps, I waited for her to appear.

I was overjoyed to be home again and even though I wanted to sleep all day and just lounge in my room after the last two weeks I was way to excited to even sit still. I was supposed to meet with Maeve that very afternoon, I was just lucky that I had a little bit of time until the hour when she was supposed to arrive.
I left my trunks unpacked and simply rummaged in them to find a favorite gown of mine, one that wouldn't need to be steamed to get the wrinkles out and I dressed quickly. Thinking of her letters she had written me I plucked one out of my trunk and held it close, the perfume of it still sweet and fragrant surrounding me like a summer breeze.
Setting the letters in my desk I fluffed my hair and added a little coal to my eyes and rouge to my lips just for fun and dabbed on some of my own perfume. Smiling I wraped my shall around my shoulders and tucked my patrons gift under the folds of my skirt and left, closing my door quiely behind me.
Walking the length of the hallway I noticed the time and found that It was actually a bit later than I had thought and sped up my walk, eager to see my sweet Maeve.
Coming around the corner to the entryway I walked silently outside, glad they had opened the doors early to let the light in. I spotted her on the steps waiting and smiled to myself, walking up to her and bending down to place my hands over her eyes from behind her. "Guess who?" I wispered in her ear.

"I haven't the foggiest," I whispered back, playacting as though I had no idea.

"It's me silly, who else?" I said, lifting my hands from her eyes and peering at her over her shoulder, my smile playful.

I smiled widely at her. "Shall we shop first and then eat, or eat first and then shop?"

"I'm famished, lets eat. Where shall we go? I want you to choose - I've had enough of decision making; 'what is your favorite color fabric, m'lady?'; 'what would you like to drink, m'lady? - ah I had forgotten why it was that I had not taken such an assignment in so long!" I said, throwing my hands up in the air with enthusiasm only to look at my love and smile, forgetting all the woe's of a lengthy assignation for the moment and simply falling in love with her all over again.
"Tell me again how much you love me," I asked, a smile returning to my face.

"I love you like the earth loves the rain, like the bee loves the honey, more than all the stars, and greater than the mightiest army," I said, looking into her lovely face. I did not ask her the same question, I knew it was true on the other end.
Rising from the stairs, I offered her my hand. "There's a new place, the Generous Patron," I said. "Let's go there."

I smiled at her lovely prose and realized anew how much I had missed her. When she suggested the new Inn that I hadn't been to yet, a grin spread across my face. "Oh yes let's, I haven't been able to visit there yet."
Eager to spend some quality time with her I took hold of her hand, pulling her close to me and twining our arms together. "Let's walk, I'm tired of carriages, not enough sunlight in them!" I said laughing as we stepped down the last few stairs of my House.

"All right," I agreed, squeezing her hand affectionately. "How have you been? What business keeps this lovely Gentian?"
