"I am far better than I was. I've managed to heal the damage done to myself and Averno from Cascati's poisonous cupcakes, but I'm still carrying a goodly amount of guilt over that time. I nearly killed Averno..I would have, had Sajhiri not interfered. I was so furious with her, all because in my altered state, I thought she wanted you." A blush tinted her cheeks and her hand warmed in Aleric's.

"Averno? With me? But--" He barely bit back the information about Silva and the feien in question. "I'm sorry that you thought that." He told her, tightening his grasp slightly in a comforting manner. He didn't dare trust the emotions he was reading, they could easily be his own infatuated feelings. But still they made him happy. "I am interested in only one female. A very beautiful, gentle, and loving one."

Arae grinned. "Well I'm rather sure you don't mean Averno, as she's anything but gentle."
Her expression turned serious. "And if it is me you speak of, you have made me the happiest feien who ever breathed. I've been alone for so very long, Aleric. My family and friends became gemstones ages ago and somehow I am still here. Until you, I never thought I'd love again."

"I do speak of you." He said. "I'm afraid I hesitate when it comes to relationships, and try to think of what is best for others before myself. I considered myself very daring for sending that first letter, afraid that you might see me as only a friend. But I'm glad that I did." He looked straight in her eyes, his feelings clear in his purple gaze.

"You are a friend, and you are more than that to me. And your words today are the greatest gift you've given me. You never need to hesitate with me, Aleric. I love you, and I accept you for who you are and what you do. Do we have little Soho's blessing, in that she helped you find a gift for me?" She brushed her fingers over his cheek lightly.

"When I first told her of you she asked me why I hadn't cuddled with you yet." He told her sheepishly. "She's quite the romantic, my little Soho. She's the one that's been delivering the letters for me. So yes, I do believe we do." To say the least. "You will have to meet her soon, now that she's a juvenile. But I'm afraid that lately she's been a bit preoccupied with talking to a... box."

" A box?" Arae queried. "What on Gaia is in a box that she would talk to?" The ancient's curiosity was piqued, but the words prior to those had more of a draw on her. "As to cuddling, why don't we go inside and sit by the fire in the family room and do just that?"

"That sounds good." He said with a smile. "She says there's a creature in the box, but that it's not a boy, and it's not a girl. And that it keeps trying to talk her out of her candycane. With Soho sometimes it's best not to ask, I'm afraid."

Arae laughed lightly. "I see. Well then, let's go curl up by the fire. Sajhiri made us some fleece blankets to wrap up in when it's cold." She tugged on his hand to guide him.

He followed her happily, letting her lead the way. "I would love to." He said easily.
