Ellandra had a hard time keeping one foot in front of the other, her head was spinning so much. Everything had happened so quickly that she was having a difficult time processing it all. Her bright grey eyes were developing a slightly-dazed look as she tried to sort out all of the recent events in her head, along with the still rising emotional high she was experiencing.
"Did - did that really just happen?" She half-asked, half-thought out loud, her voice sounding choked and distant all at once, shock and wonder dripping from every word that left her lips.

Faolan looked at her, a bit startled by the question. His ears drooped a bit, then one raised questioningly. "Would you have preferred it hadn't?"

Ellandra shook her head rapidly, eyes wide. "No! Oh, no, Faolan, th-that's not what I meant at all! It just. . . d-doesnt feel quite - quite real, that's all - I'm . . . even now, I'm nto entirely sure that I'm just. . .. just not dreaming all of this up. . ."

Faolan took her in his arms, pulling her into a hug. "This feel like a dream?" He kissed her briefly. "Or this? . . . How about this?" He dipped his head down, kissing her neck and giving a gentle bite, making soft happy noises.

Ellandra squeaked, batting softly and rather ineffectively at Faolan's chest. "I - I suppose not," she said, trying to regain some strength in her suddenly-weak knees.

Laughing, Faolan pulled back and smiled down at her. "Ay, ay . . . none of that now, lass. Ready to go to our home?" He led her the rest of the way to the vardo and looked up at it, then at Ellandra. "Do I carry you over the threshold for engagements, too, or just when we get married?"

The brunette smiled up at Faolan, radiating happiness with every single bit of her being. "Married," she said, then paused as her smile turned a bit more mischevious. "Though we can change that for us, if you'd like." Being carried didn't sound that bad, actually - she wasn't sure how much farther she could manage to make it without passing out, or at least sitting down. She felt lightheaded and overwhelmed still - but in a very, very good way.

The young man chuckled, then lifted her easily, cradling her against his chest. "I'd carry you to the ends of the world, lass. All you need but ask." He stepped up to the door, then fumbled a bit. "Hm.. be a love and get the door, eh?"

Ellandra did so - around her laughter. "You need to find out a way to - to get the door to open automatically," she said, fighting down her giggles so that she could speak properly.

"La, girl, that's what I have you for. I'll carry you wherever you want, so long as you get the doors," Faolan laughed, taking her inside and laying her down on the bed. "Don't move, love." He scooted away to close the door, then came back and laid down beside her.
He stroked her cheek gently, watching her eyes. "You feel that, Elle? I think we're finally whole."

Ellandra sighed contentedly, watching Faolan as he watched her. "Yes," she said softly, letting her eyes fall half-closed in her contentment, revelling in the feeling of being with Faolan, of being safe and happy. . . of being truly complete.

Faolan closed his eyes, hugging her against him, and nuzzled her hair. "I'll send some people round to your place to get your belongings. Anything but clothes. You won't need those here." He opened his eyes realizing what he said. "I mean, the carnival seamstresses will make you some new clothes. You won't need your old ones anymore."

Ellandra squeaked and stared at Faolan for a long moment, before her shoulders started shaking and she started to laugh. "Oh, Faolan..." Were all the words she managed to get out around her giggles for nearly a minute. Then she managed to relax and smiled at him, amusement still clear in her eyes. "Thank you for clearing that up a little," she said quietly, trying not to laugh again.

Faolan grinned at her, eyes slightly closed. "Assa, lass, I wouldn't be asking you to strut about skyclad till you were suggestin' it on your own."
He rolled onto his back, stretching a bit, then got up and looked around a moment before turning his focus back on her. "We're gonna have to sort out some arrangements on this living together thing, aren't we?"

"I suppose so, yes," Ellandra said quietly, blinking thoughtfully at Faolan. "It will. . . probably take some getting used to, as well - I mean. . . it's just going t-to be a bit, different." She paused for a moment, and then added, "Not in a bad way; just different."
