Bright eyes widened then softened at the sudden show of affection. Any thoughts of protesting her statement, saying that she had always been that happy, had vanished from his mind. He was afraid that she would become upset at his protests and he never wanted to see her upset. Ever. He would die to see her smile. That wasn't true though because he knew his death would only result in tears. "I'm glad....for your happiness but, I want you to be happy even without me." He knew what he said sounded a bit cruel but he was serious. As much as he would love to stay by her side every day and night he would have to travel sometimes to visit Lunathiel and her children; the first to truly accept him.
In all of his thoughts and words he had forgotten where they had been going until the teepee stood above them. All he could think was how perfect it was. He approached it carefully and nosed the edge of the entrance flap aside to peer inside. Ironically it was only as large as his two-leggers had been when he had first arrived not long after she had sewn more to it so it could house the growing family. "Aeris..." He said turning around to face her. "This place...is perfect."
