"Remember tha' whole promise o' mine about not leavin'? I ain't gaen anywhere. Spill it, girl," Rory chuckled. "Not much tha' can scare off a didikoy."

"Lauss is an essentic." Her words came out fast and clear, and she looked directly at Rory as she said them. She licked her lips, eventually lowering her head, feeling slightly guilty for having told someone when she had promised she wouldn't. She hoped he would take her seriously, as she didn't want him to think it wasn't a big deal. No one could know about it, after all.

Rory tilted his head, processing the words. Was he even sure he knew what that meant? "He doesnae look like th' pictures in th' history books."

Lee chuckled softly, nodding a bit. "That's what I thought, too..." Folding her hands in her lap, she bit her lip, occasionally looking up at Rory. "B-but, you've seen him, talked to him -- he's not dangerous." She was tempted to mention the other essentics she'd met, but kept herself from blurting out that she knew of others, too.

"Nae, he's not dangerous. Simple an' naive, but not dangerous," Rory chuckled. "Donnae see how it makes much difference on our relationship, though. He's a part o' your family, tha' makes him a part o' mine, too."

"B-but that makes me a criminal... Like, I could be sent to prison for something like this..." She stared back at him, eyes slightly worried. How was it that he didn't mind? Her voice was calm again, almost too calm for what she was saying. "And he could be killed if anyone finds out about him... You can't tell anyone."

"Lass, you live in a clan o' criminals, or did you not notice?" Rory asked, tapping the stolen necklace she was wearing. "I wonnae tell anyone. I donnae want t' lose you or Lauss."

Giggling weakly, Lee nodded, holding onto the necklace for a moment. She looked up at Rory, giving him a sincere, gentle smile before uttering, "Thank you." She rested her head against his chest, her smile fading a bit as she relaxed, playing with the ring on her finger. Slowly, she smirked, thinking about the cottage once more. "For our cottage... Will there be... locks on the doors?"

"Nae. Tha' kinda goes against didikai traditions," Rory answered, looking down at her. "No one's gonna come in wor home wi'out wor permission, though."

Blinking up at him, her face dropped a bit. "Not even for the bathrooms?" How were they ever going to have privacy with Lauss living with them and no locks for the bedroom? And if they had kids... She didn't even want to think about it.

"Why're you so worried about locks?" Rory asked, raising an eyebrow. "No one tha' ain't from th' clan will likely come out here unless they know us good. They hae t' gae through the carnival an' camps t' get here."

Blushing a bit when she had to explain herself, Lee looked down, blushing a bit. "Lauss." That was enough of an explanation, wasn't it?

"Just tell him not to come in a closed door wi'out knockin'," Rory said. "He'd mind tha' reet?"

"He might..." She decided not to mention the children, and would just worry about that when the time came. "I guess I'll forget about it. I'm used to not having locks, anyway." She peeked over to the basket, getting out of Rory's lap for now. "Did you actually pack food or were you just trying to trick me?" She giggled back at him, sitting on her knees now and bending forward to look inside the basket.

"There's food there, an' other things," Rory chuckled, leaning over to retrieve a bottle of wine from the basket and two plastic wine glasses. "I kinda wanted this t' be special, considerin' th' location an' th' ring an' all." He blushed a little while focusing on getting the cork from the bottle.
