"You're welcome, love," Anson chuckled, putting the paperwork away.
Rory was leaning in the doorway, hip resting against the frame and arms folded across his chest. "Well, there you hae it, lass. A horse t' rival them in your mother's stables. After work, w' can gae fae a ride if you want."

Lee grinned excitedly, nodding to Rory in agreement to his plan. She turned to Anson. "Before I go, the flowers in front of the house look great. You planted them, right?" She smiled, nodding once before thinking to ask. "Did Lauss behave himself? Oh, and Faolan and Ellandra dunno we're getting married, right? I kinda wanted us to be the ones to tell them..." She bit her lip before giving the man a nervous smile.

Lee smiled, happy to hear they'd be the ones to share the news. She was much more confident that they would, in fact, be getting married, and that it was a lot less impulsive a choice than it initially seemed. She had no doubt in her mind that she'd be staying with Rory the rest of her life, whether they married now or not. She shrugged in response to Anson. "I haven't heard anyone mention it or anything, so I guess that's a good sign." She figured, as fast as talk traveled in Farstep, if Lauss had told anyone, they'd have heard someone mention it by now. Then again, perhaps she was making their marriage out to be more important to others than it was. Still, a simple congratulations would be expected from someone, wouldn't it?

"He behaved him self really well, darlin'," Anson assured her, leaning back in his chair and propping his feet up on the desk. He picked up his newspaper and opened it back up. "I'll see you later, girl. I'm sure Rory'd like t' say g'bye in private before he gets back t' work."
Rory scooted on out of the office, gently tugging Lee with him. "Come on, I'll walk you out."

Lee was happy to let Rory tug her along, waving to Anson as they left, even though he couldn't see her from behind his paper. "Thanks for all this..." She smiled sheepishly to her boyfriend, tugging at her shirt with her freehand.

"It's nothin'," Rory said softly, bringing her hand up to brush his lips against her knuckles. "You can stay an' watch if you want, but I cannae really pay much attention t' you. Sorry." He checked his pocket watch. "I'll be home in a few hours, though, an' I'll make us some dinner then. Can you gae t' th' market an' get us some carrots? Tell them t' just put th' cost on me tab, okay?"

Smiling slightly, Lee nodded, giggling a bit as she answered, "Yessir." She leaned forward to give him a quick kiss before starting to walk off, turning around for a moment to wave a bit to the boy. What would she be doing with herself these few hours that she had neither school nor work nor Rory? Please... not studying with Lauss...

Rory just smiled at her. "Tha's me girl. I'll try an' finish early. I hae a few horses t' work wi' an' one t' prepare fae t'night's show. Hey. Would you actually like t' gae t' one o' th' shows t' see th' horses in action?"

Lee paused, blinked, then stepped a bit closer to Rory, her face lighting up. "Can we?" This was still part of Rory's job, in a way, and she wanted to know all about it.

"Sure," Rory said, settling his arms around her, hands resting on her rear. "It's a bit different seein' them in a show than seein' them just trottin' around th' corral. W'll gae t'night after dinner an' after I've washed up, eh? You been livin' here long enough tha' you should gae see some o' th' shows." He leaned down to give her a gentle kiss, then sighed against her lips. "Sorry, lover. I got t' gae now. Da'll hae me hide if I donnae get back t' work." Stepping back, he let go reluctantly. "Donnae faeget th' carrots."

Lee chuckled softly, nodding. "I won't," she replied, stepping away as well, sighing a bit at the few hours she'd have ahead of her. Heading away from the stables and toward the market, Lee was starting to notice that her worrying only worsened when Rory wasn't around, and she kept herself from looking down as she walked, trying to look at anything but her tummy at this point. How long did one wait before they could take a pregnancy test, again..?

Zia bustled along the market, picking up things for Fao and Elle, having agreed after the twins were born to help out with running errands. Mostly, it liked being in the marketplace to watch people and to read all the things around it. There were so many stories and Zia wanted to know them all.
Looking over, it saw Lee approaching and smiled, running over to greet her, cards and feathers trailing behind. "Lee! Hey!"

Hm? That voice was awfully familiar... Lee's eyes looked up -- yes, she'd given in to the temptation of looking at her belly -- and spotted the short essentic hopping her way. She gave it a weak smile, waving as she greeted Ziazan with a, "Hey..." Was her misery too obvious? She really should cheer up, for Zia's sake at least.

The Essentic ran over and hugged the girl, wings flapping a little. "How was your stay at your parents?" It looked up at her grinning. "Did you hear? I have a new little brother."
