Welcome to Gaia! ::

With a turn of the key in the lock, Brielle let herself back into her house after her patrol. Every time she came back in, no matter how quiet the night had been, she always breathed a sigh of relief when she came through the door.

She was doing her best not to be overly reckless, and she was getting better at that, but there was no getting around the fact that she had a target on her back. This was dangerous. There was no way to fully protect herself, no way to guarantee that she'd come home.

It meant that every night that she came back unharmed felt like a gift. Every moment that she was able to spend with her loved ones was precious.

"Livi?" she called out with a soft smile as the door clicked shut behind her. "Are you here? I'm home!"

She was already picturing her wife's smiling face.

"Brownies? You're going to have me so spoiled," she murmured as she spent a moment in the entryway, slipping off her shoes. Then she made her way to the kitchen, where she greeted Olivia with a quick kiss before turning her attention to the dessert at hand.

She made a bit of a show of chewing her lower lip in thought as she looked over the battle. "Hmm. You do know I like baked goods," she murmured. "Fresh out of the oven, steaming? It's delicious, especially when you put your love into it." Her face softened into a a grin, something softer than others often saw, as she dipped her pinky into the batter. "But I don't see anything wrong with eating it just like this, as a treat."

She licked it off her finger with a satisfied hum.

"As for my evening, I think you'll be proud of me. I met a General and I didn't even end up in a fight."
