She hummed a little tune to herself as she weeded the rest of the garden. It was hard on the knees but she didn't mind. She found it to be a very grounding activity that both relaxed her, got her in the sun and had nothing to do with violence...well if you didn't count ripping weeds out by the roots. Sometimes it was good to just slow down and appreciate the bees buzzing around the flowers.

He was leading a particularly fiesty janarim past the garden when the beast quite threw a fit and even he was holding onto the halter line with a desperate grip. He had no doubt that the beast would make an ideal mount for someone some day but it was going to take more than a few months of tuning in. It was a big project which he might ask the family for assistance with, starting with their budding animal behaviour scholar Tathyryal and finishing with his uncle or his Father Thallassa plus the regular hours Umen would put in.

She paused to watch the great spectacle. She occassionaly helped where she could with the beasts but something like that was well above her pay grade. It was a magnificent royal blue and yellow janarim from great breeding lines run by her sister's husband and he was a monster to deal with. Something that Kiyelt usually tried to breed out of his pet quality lines but came in ultra handy for warbred beasts. This was why she was a fighter and not a tamer. "Are you all right love?"

"Yes I'm fine, for the moment, this one is just extra spicey! Not sure what his problem is exactly. I have some concerns for his overall training and I might have to ask your nephews for help at some point. I won't bug Kiyelt over it, but Thal is pretty decent with these big boys."
"You are looking rather ravishing today Rista." He winked at her, proving the janarim wasn't the only spicey one.

"Thats good that you have a plan! No wonder you are so good with the animals, your willing to seek help and that is not something a lot of professionals are willing to do. Let me know if there is any way I can help. I'm sure Ultear would be game too."
She wanted to walk over and kiss him as was their daily ritual whenever they bumped into each other but the beast was still snorting fire and looking slightly crazed so she would demure this one and catch him later.
"I'm just about done weeding."

The janarim chose that moment to head but him and Umen decided right there that the animal had way to much energy to be handled right now. "Hold onto that thought, I am getting hungry, perhaps we could have lunch, I think this boy would do well to be paired with one of the more active young ones then they can wrestle with each other all day and THEN I can work with him."
He whistled and one of the younger janarim who was used to being fed at that call. They were much better behaved and allowed to roam the property like a guard radaku on steroids. Which reminded him that he wanted to try training radaku at some point.
After he had released the unimpressed pair to roam about he joined Rista at the house.

She whipped them up some cheese and crackers and was waiting with a platter for her mate to come in. "Do you want to eat inside or outside?" She asked when he came in.
Even her stomach was growling at this point, weeding was hard work indeed. But she still meant to expand the garden in the spring. She had been wanting to for a while, but things kept happening at the opportune moment.
She sashayed over to him and gave him a big smooch on the lips.

He came in with a heartfelt sigh of relief. "Outside is fine, I want to supervise those two out there." He accepted her kiss with some interest and even slipped her into a dancing dip, it was most romantic.
He helped her carry the platter outside and set it up on their wooden table. It was built on a hill that allowed them the best view of the property, it had been a gift for her on their second anniversary when they had moved to the property. A monument to family and love.
"At least the weather is cooperating. Do you see them? They took off on a tear when I tied them together."

"I think they are right beside the back pasture, looks like they are snuffling through the grass." She sat beside him and squished herself up against his side.
She had always been most comfortable around him and was happy that she had made the descisions she had. She couldn't imagine her life any other way.
"I love you." She smooched his neck which was the easiest thing to reach and had the added benefit of making him shiver.
Then she made herself a cheese and cracker sandwich and popped it in her mouth.

"Aww I love you too." She did make him shiver. She was just such a delight to be around and the added bonus of their families getting along. "I suppose we are due for another supply run, care to join me? Do you have a pending job you need to prepare for or are you free?" She had a somewhat chaotic schedule that at times was a bit hard to keep track of.

"I don't have anything at the moment, I'd love to accompany you to town." She had always enjoyed the crossing over the sea to get back to the mainland from the little island that her husband and family were trying to revive since the Oban war had ravaged it for water slaves. She was proud to observe that it was a small but thriving settlement.
"I'm due for some time away from the house." She grinned at him.

"Fantastic, after we clean up from lunch then." He would ask one of the boys to look after the janarim, mostly they just needed to be watched in case they got themselves stuck in a random place, but for the most part they should be okay.
He thought he might take Rista to the flower shop that she had been wanted to check out for forever. He wanted to spend some quality time with her.
They ate and chatted companionably and after the clean up was complete they headed over the straight for town.

She took a deep breath of the town air, it was alive with the scent of baking, food and the many flowers that were grown in and around the buildings, it was a hidden gem in Matori, not far from one of the bigger cities but small enough to be overlooked by most travellers who had any real business to do in Matori. Mostly it consisted of locals and commerce from outlying properties like her Sister's.
It was a gorgeous day to be there and she swung her mate's hand happily as they walked.

He led them over to the plant nursery and turned her loose. He watched her with avid orange eyes and when he could peel his eyes away from her he answered her comments about the plants and voiced which ones he liked as well.
"I like purple flowers the most, I find them mysterious and intriguing." He kissed her neck and folded himself around her. Feeling his way gently down her body in a chaste caress...wait. Was that? That was a bump..Rista usually kept herself in fantastic shape and this did not feel like fat at all....
He hummed happily at the possibility.
"Have you noticed anything different lately?" He asked innocently.

"Different?" She asked, leaning back into her mate while her eyes roved the flowers before her, her mind partly distracted calculating where she would put plants in her garden and along their walkways on the island farm. "You mean like in the garden, with the kids or the animals? Not particularly, is something amiss love?"
She scooped up a plant that had white spots on purple petals and put it in the little cart.
There was something slight about his voice that intrigued her.
