He smirked as he strode through the door narrowly avoiding the felids.
“Good timing on that.” He chuckled. He helped unload the fresh produce and wash it then squirrel it away. They made steady work of their day to days, they ran a bustling trade between one Inn and the next, where they were at depended on the season and whike it perplexed locals sometimes they wouldn’t have it any other way. They ran it the same way nearly in both places with some added culture sprinkled in. They made bank but they worked for it. Now however he was more focused on family while he worked.

“Saras is okay I looked in on her when we got here.” His daughter was a trooper. “Good price on leeks for once, the greensvedor can be tricky.” He thought he rather preferred dealing with Myr over himself. Go figure.

"Oh aye and a devoted Father gets stinkeye. I see how it works." He poked at her gently. "Rikru is smart to want to be here during Zena's winter." Ai rumbled sagely. They took the busy season, and the dangerous season. Rikru got to be in Zena when it was as warm as it ever was and in Matori when it was cool and full of storms.

"Why we suffer through winter up there well, its for the coins for me." He hated the cold but running the Inn kept them warm and busy which was okay by him, then they got to come to Maotri during its warm period and it melted all the memories away. Soothing it was, but hot like really hot some days. He still loved it. Myr handled the cold better than he did his feelers got all wilty.

"No I think they finally figured out who I'm married to." He snorted. His whole world revolved around her and there family so he couldn't see why strangers just couldn't sense it. Ai stretched. "How could I forget my love. The snow fell in perfect flakes that day, each snowflake sharp and unique. As unique as the beautiful woman I walked with." He winked. Oh yes, he remembered. And had thanked the gods every day since that she had chosen him over all the shifters and icelings. He with his strange background and rediculous height. Her with her perfect grace and form and sass. Oh yes he loved her. Very very much.

"Yes we shall." He sorted and squared away the supplies neatly and out of the way so that they could utilize the smallish cabin space the best way. It was good to get away from the Inn occassionally and this trip was a good break. So long as he had Myr with him he had all he needed really. He took a deep breath after they were done and tugged her into his lap for a long needed snuggle. "Stop fretting, just be here in the moment with me in a cabin in the woods in the middle of absolutely no where." He kissed her hair and held her close, relishing in just being near her in a quite place far from their regular cares and worries and dedication to service.

He felt his hair stand on end when she recalled memories of their children. It had been so long ago, but he remembered their birth and the first night home with two bundles that he was deligted for but had no idea what he was doing. They had been so small and had grown like right little weeds. He remembered how they would rush him when he came in the door, how they had wrapped their little fists in their mother's hair to nurse, how confused they were that he had long hair but regretably for them did not produce milk. He smirked at the outraged look on their faces when they figured it out. He was best for kiddy kinfa rides though, he would take them in his large hands and mock fly them around the room. "You are making my heart ache. They were so cute..so fiesty." He held her close, feeling like he needed this comfort most of all.

"Really good actually! I'm enjoying working with them." They had not been his specialty but he thought that they might be now. "I think I love working with them, I would like to get better and better at it." It was a break from the sword and the forge and it amused the Inn guests that had an interest in them. They were beautiful birds and he adored the interactions they had. Smart too, not a bird brain to be found.

This had been something she had done from the start and he loved it. She would do his war braids when he took rare mercenary work which he didn't do nearly as often now with their varied source of Inn income. Plus being away from Myr and Saras had just been too hard when Saras was sick. He couldn't do it unless they were desperate financially and he was scarily effecting during those times so he could just go home after the job was done. It had earned him a reputation but he was a hard man to find when he wanted to blend in. He was paid well though and it was more higher end clients that called upon him. Though he had not taken a merc job in years.

He took a deep breath. "Well, now that she is situated I don't see why not. We could use some extra coin. Maybe we could also work out of here for those forays..some nice spicey work, then home with you sounds good. It has been so long since we were able to do a job together, little do they know that you are the dangerous one." He smiled sweetly at her. He was strong, swift and powerful, she was clever and had powerful magic. He loved watching her use it, it was rare but it was always worth it and she almost always won unless the other side cheated. In that case he flattened the few that got through. Many people were strong against either physical or magical attacks but not commonly both.
