Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tonight was a nice, cold, brisk night in Nirvani. That time of year where most of the leaves were gone, but winter hadn't hit just yet. It wasn't Reed's favorite kind of climate, yet he was out and about regardless. Why? Well, just a couple hours ago, him and his lovely wife had left to go on their once a week date on the town. Like on their normal dates, they had gone looking around the town, even though it never changed, and then headed to the inn to eat, even though it was run by people that the man's wife had bad history with... However, it was also the only one in town, making it the only one they've been able to go to for their last nine years together. Blaire made no complaint not to go though, it was for there night out after all. Plus any awkwardness was easily fixed with a couple of drinks. Making their weekly event this time as normal feeling as any other. Reed would even say they enjoyed their-selves, why else would they keep going back? And tonight was no different, after an exciting conversation with the waitress about how it was like to work here all these years and a much needed conversation with his wife that wasn't about the kids, the man had a lot of fun.

And now, like every week, the couple were on a nice walk through town on the way back home. A walk that Reed became less willing to do as the cold air became more abundant, yet was a little to drunk to complain. Not that he was staggering about in a drunk fit, unable to control himself. Just that it distracted his mind just enough to focus on just cozying up to his wife. Which was brought them here to the fountain. The man always seemed to end up at the fountain. But tonight, it was with Blaire warmly snug under his arm and close to his chest. Sure it was a cute and loving gesture they often did, but for tonight, it was cold, and Blaire was warm to the touch. "Were lucky that place has good food," Reed began to continue the conversation they had been having since they left. It was usually about the town's lack luster night life, "Otherwise no one would keep going." It really was nice that at the very least it was a nice place to eat. If it meant getting away from the girls, Reed was really willing to eat anywhere though. Ah... The girls. Reed paused their walk as the reached the fountain as a thought struck his mind. He tugged his company toward a nearby bench, "Let's take a break, the girls can wait." It would be boring to just head back now.

After the two sat down, and Blaire got cozy in his arms, Reed got comfortable by crossing his legs. This was not only the way his legs felt comfortable, but it somehow kept them a bit warmer. "They're very high maintenance girls after all," He responded with a sigh. Really, they we're the cutest things in the world, but... Even their oh so cute love for daddy was very hard to keep up with. Erika was always clingy, but lately she's been a lot harder to deal with. Though of course, Reed would never tell his beloved daughter to grow out of that phase, it was unthinkable! Even though it was definitely needed. Reed shook the thoughts out of his head. Lately his mind kept going on these tangents... He looked down at his wife who had just cuddled even close to him and smiled. He clasped her free hand with his and kissed the top of her head lightly. "That's pretty sneaky, I didn't know you were competing with the girls as well," He gave his wife a grin, "Acting all lovey and childish the second they're out of range." Of course Reed wasn't complaining. He loved this side of Blaire. Since he was always acting twenty years older than he was, it was nice that she brought him into a state where he could act more childishly.

Reed couldn't help but laugh at Blaire's comments a bit. "I guess I'm a lucky guy," Luckier than most. Had a beautiful wife and two very adorable girls who loved him very much. And none of them were crazy. He always felt bad for Lucas and Alt, sure they had nice families... But, they just seemed like to much work. One had eight kids, and the other... Skyla was to much of a hassle to think about. Though, she was easy enough to pawn off on Brooke. Probably why Alastair kept coming over... Messing up the house... Reed snapped himself out of his thoughts once more, well, his wife snapped him out of it when she huddled up close. He chuckled once more, "It's not the worst." He definitely liked his wife's attention. "Though being popular has it's difficulties you know..." Reed said very 'aloof', looking a way with a large grin. He then leaned into his wife's shoulder a bit and brought his hand, along with hers since he was holding it, and warmed it up with his breath. "We need a warmer way to be alone on date night," Winter really wasn't the man's season. In fact, it could easily be said that it was his least favorite of all the season.

"Oh?" Reed replied as he heard she had some ideas, "Hm..." The man began to ponder the possibilities. It was kind of late to find somewhere to warm up in town. Late... What time was it anyway? He brought the hand that was still holding Blaire's close to his face so he could look at his watch. It was already past eleven... He rubbed his wife's shoulder with the hand he had around her and than patted it, getting up almost abruptly afterward. He stretched a bit and then turned back to the woman with out saying anything. Then he held out his hand and gently grabbed her wrist, pulling her up and into him. "The girls should be asleep," Brooke was still young and Erika didn't like to stay up late. Something about beauty sleep. So as long as these two were quiet, "We can spend a little quality time at home." His grinned returned as her wrapped his arm's around his wife's waist and lifted her up, spinning him and her one cycle and putting her down in the opposite direction they had started. "What do you say?" He said keeping the woman in his embrace. She was cold after all.

It was nice that they could still be so playful at their age... Ah, they we're still young weren't they? Well of course Blaire was the embodiment of young, he on the other hand, always had trouble discerning how old he really was. Ever since he started raising his daughter he always felt like an old man. What a pain it was... Not only for him, but for his wife as well, who constantly reminded him of how old he really was. Just like this moment did. He smiled and gave her a kiss before they began to head home, "Then lets get going." After he spook he gave her a small pat on her behind and let her out of the embrace, only to pick her up like bride on her wedding day while her arms were still around his neck. "Let's go little lady," An old way he had used to addressed woman before, but was no specifically for her. Luckily Reed was still just drunk enough that his sense of endurance was skewed a bit, allowing him to carry his beloved back home. It didn't hurt that Blaire her self was petite.
