The tressym chirped, hovering behind the tiefling's back and observing the growing vegetables alongside her companion. Lately, she had been spending more time with her than with Gale in his study, much to Tavanna's delight.

It warmed her heart whenever her new four-legged friend chose her company, as she was keenly aware of the fact that Tara was very protective of her pet, as she called him.

"Tara, how many times do I need to tell you? You can call me Tavanna." Her brow furrowed as she pondered how to make the greenhouse more organized and less chaotic, disorder being one of her foibles. The golden light of the setting sun made her cheeks redder and the clutter around her more obvious.

"Oh dear, I shall never get used to this." The tressym grumbled, yet despite her grousing, perched on Tavanna's shoulder.

The wizard smiled brightly, reaching out to scratch her under the chin. "Thank you for lending me a hand," she said, nodding towards the second conjured mage hand helping her water the crops.

A year ago, she would not have believed she might experience something so close to domestic bliss. Yet what else could this warm feeling be, when she caught herself smiling wider, and not merely because of the bountiful harvest of tomatoes?

I was inspired to make these pictures when I first visited the Sunvale cottage from Lenorebutsad. The greenhouse is beautiful! I merely added a little bit more of scattered light and a lot of scattered tools, vegetable plants, planters, mushrooms, you name it... 😁 I'd like to imagine that a year after the defeat of the Netherbrain, things have finally somewhat settled down in Waterdeep, and Tavanna couldn't be happier that Tara seems to warm up to her – so they can hang out together, planting veggies and gossiping about the other wizard 😁
