Charlotte sighed into Devicius' embrace smiling radiantly. H had said what she had been so nervous to voice. Any uncertainties were blow away like dried leaves. He was in love with her. The thought made her glow. "I'm in love with you too...I-I love you." She pressed, if possible, even closer to him, rubbing her cheek on his neck. She could feel his damp hair against her neck and recalled the water still gently lapping at them. A light breeze blew across her exposed back and caused a shiver to run through her. Not wanting to end the embrace but also thinking it would be good to bask in the sun she pulled back slightly. "Could we maybe dry off in the sun? I'm growing slightly chilled." Charlotte nuzzled him gently and pressed against him again to steal a little warmth.

Devicius expected the words to be a shock to him, for his body to recoil as it once did from the pain he had suffered. Even though he confessed his love to her, he still hadn't been sure that he would accept the same words back. But his body was completely at ease, and his heart beat with the ferocity of a drum. Had she really done it? Had she taken this time and healed him? Created, in her eyes, an angel from a demon? The thought was inspiring, uplifting. He liked the thought of being her angel, of being someone who could be loved.
After she spoke, he twitched, looking down at the water. He had been so encompassed in her words that he had forgotten that they were standing in the middle of a stream! NOw that he thought about it, the water was a little chilly.
"Ah, yes! Yes, we can," he said, moving off towards the shore, wing wrapped around Charlotte. He looked for a comfortable spot, eventually choosing a patch of grass directly on the bank of the stream, free of any shade.
"You know, Charlotte, I've spent so much time talking about my past that I feel as if I know barely anything about yours. Perhaps... you could tell me more of your life before we met?"

Charlotte curled her legs under her and cuddled up to Devicius, his wings and the warmth of the sun stopped her light chills and shivering. When Devicius gently suggested she tell him of her family she was slightly surprised.
"Oh...my family?" She thought of her expanding family and wondered what they would say when they finally met Devicius, and smiled.
"Well there is my mother, Niele. She's a little naive and I think even more so when it comes to stallions...she keeps letting them break her heart." She shook her head but continued. "Any ways, I have two older siblings between my mother and a previous stallion. Brian is my oldest brother and Taja is my oldest sister. Then with my father there is Accalon, Stripe, and then me. I'm the youngest..on my mothers side. My father's name is Akuba and when I was little I loved both of my parents dearly with that undeniable child like love. Then we grew up and apparently we didn't need him anymore." She was starting to sound slightly bitter right about now. "I mean who is he to decide that since I'm an adult I don't need a father any more? And then he went and had new children. New pretty winged children, so why would he want to go back to his plain children?" She trailed off..realizing she'd began to rant. She blushed and nuzzled into his neck.
"I'm sorry...I didn't mean to get so heated....it just...I'm sorry." She sighed then cleared her throat, nuzzling him once more and regaining her composure. Her eyes brightened and she grinned. "I'm an aunt as well! my oldest brother, Brian, has three children, and my older sister, Stripe has...I believe two, i've never met her children though." She smiled as she thought about brians foals and how they'd been so happy when they announced they were to have children..and then the happy announcement turned into Lorraine scolding her and..she wouldn't think about it. She shoved the thought away and grinned. "I have more family than I recalled having!" She leaned on his shoulder, loving how close she could be to him and at the same time still wanting to be closer. Charlotte looked up at him and smiled softly. "Would you want to meet my family?"

Devicius listened attentively to her speech, nodding here and there, his eyes growing wider as she spoke of her distant relatives. She seemed to have quite the large family, though it seemed she hardly saw any of them. Devicius wasn't sure how he would have turned out if he had so many relatives... all he had ever known was his alluring father, who constantly told him that beauty was the key to success and that no one but himself mattered. He had thought that those lessons were his guides, that he had been living his life the right way... but boy, had he been wrong.
"That's quite the family! And of course I'd meet them... if they would wish it, that is. NOt everyone has a positive reaction towards my image." He gave a nervous chuckle, looking towards the river, and sighed. Should he also tell her about his own family? The children that he had left behind... but they were nothing but monsters. The blood of his previous mate would ensure that their future was twisted and unfullfilling... but why did it still bother him?
"Er... Charlotte," he began, clearing his throat. "I also have something to tell you. I'm sorry I haven't told you before, but it's a hard subject for me to breach. And I... I don't feel the best about it." He turned towards her again, giving her an apologetic look. "Well... here it is. I... I most likely have children. Somewhere. If Jessamine did not destroy the baskets..." He gave a heavy sigh, feeling guilty.
"But I couldn't stay with her. And the children... they will have her blood. Her sins. I couldn't raise children like that. Not when I didn't want to be a father."

Charlotte smiled, her eyes shining. "Of course they'd want to meet you, I'm sure they'd want to know whats so compelling that I haven't been home for such a long time."
Velvety ears were attentive while he seemed to have something to tell her. She was curious as to what it was. They were talking of families so perhaps...her thoughts trailed off at his words and her eyes widened slightly. It wasn't exactly what she'd had been expecting. "You have children?" She allowed it to sink in and smiled.
Charlotte thought about what he had told her about his previous lover and she understood why he couldn't stay and be their father. Though hopefully they hadn't grown up with the flaws of their mother. She seemed...very unstable. "I can understand. I hope they grew up okay though." She cuddled back against him and wondered what would happen if she were to get pregnant. She could understand him not wanting to father monsters and his uncertainty, but if they were hers...theirs? Would he leave? The thought worried her and made her stomach queasy. She cuddled even closer to him. They would cross that bridge when...if they came to it.

Devicius sank into her touch, wanting to release the memories of his past life. Yes, he did have children. He hadn't given much thought to them over the past weeks that he had spent with Charlotte. In fact, he hadn't thought of anything at all except this new paradise that he found himself in. Why should he think of them? He'd never be a father to them anyway... if they survived their time with Jess to begin with.
"I'm not sure how well they'd grow up with a mother like that..." he murmured, staring off into the water. He noticed Charlotte's pause, and looked down at her soft-featured face. She was thinking of something, he knew that much... no doubt his talk about his past was hard for her just as it was for him. Perhaps he was being selfish, talking about himself and making her worry and feel sorry for him... All he wanted was for her to be happy. He had found his happiness, and wanted nothing more.
"But you know Charlotte... I'm sure you'd make a great mother... " It was hard for him to say, of course, since he was still nervous about having a family. But it was the truth, and he wanted her to know it. He wanted her to know that he cared.
