So his children were as old as some of her younger siblings. Not children actually, not anymore. They would have their vallaslin at that age already.

She gave a soft chuckle and shook her head, hugging her knees close to her chest while with the other hand she helped herself to another piece of roasted meat. “No, I’m not bonded yet, and I haven’t been promised either. I know I’m past the age it usually happens…” Most Dalish bonded young - larger window to try for children and help the clan grow. “I guess I just didn’t find that someone among my clanmates.” Not that she hadn’t had an crushes, but they were just that: crushes, a fleeting infatuation that lasted maybe a few weeks and that was it.

“I do want children some day. My parents built a large family, and I’d like that for myself too, in the future. It simply hasn’t happened yet.”

The Dalish people were a dying breed. Many of them knew that. Raising children in the wilderness could be dangerous. They had wildlife hunting them, and on top of that humans hunted them for sports as well. At least in some areas. It was no wonder they couldn’t keep their numbers up. So, to try and combat that, most Dalish were married off and told to bear children as soon as they were on their moon blood. 

Not all clans were like that, though. His own was a stationary clan, so they had safety and protection, and they lived long lives compared to many. It meant that their clan had become comfortable with their numbers, and their breeding. Perhaps Aylen’s was the same, considering she was near her 30th year, surely. She was well developed. 

“A pity,” he murmured, leaning his hands behind his head as he leant back into his bedroll. “You’re a capable hunter, and a pretty young lass. I’m positive you’d make a happy wife for whoever you wish to bond to.” 

Fane curled up at the bottom of his feet. While she was more nocturnal, they had been travelling all day, so it was no surprise that she would take a nap when they settled down, bellies full.

Creators! She couldn’t hold back a squeak that quickly turned into laughter that sounded much like birdsong in the spring, as she clung tightly to him while he spun her around. He lifted her so easily, like she was almost weightless to him! His enthusiasm was adorable - and it matched her own, to the point that when he stepped back she went right back to him to press her face against his chest and let out a muffled laugh. More than nice. Amazing. Sweet. Right. He was warm. He smelled familiar. She just wrapped her arms around his waist and stayed close like that, finally unburying her face from his chest to look up at him with bright green eyes. “Can I…” Maybe it was too soon? But she was completely in the moment, happy, after such long days missing him… She blushed, but asked again. “May I stay tonight? I just… I’ve missed you.”

That laugh! That smile. Her embrace. Her excitement. He couldn’t recall a time they’d both seemed so happy. Close, but not to this sort of intensity and warmth. He hadn’t thought they’d be anything more than friends. Had considered just keeping his feelings secrets for fear of rejection. For fear of making their close friendship awkward.

Stewed over thoughts that she would never return his feelings.

And yet. Here they were.

“Of course.” He pressed his cheek against the top of her head, a deep rumbling purr sounding in his chest as he held her to him.

“You need not even ask. I would be…It would make me quite happy to have you stay tonight. With me. Here.” He was rambling again, but he hoped that she understood through his nervous words and his strengthening Nevarran accent.

Oh, that felt warm. The kiss - a proper kiss now -, his arm around her holding her close. The look on his face when they pulled from the kiss left her feeling a little silly and flustered, her cheeks flushing a dark red and unable to hide a smile of her own. “That was…” Was she supposed to say what it felt like? She couldn’t’ stop blushing and now she wasn’t even sure she could find words to describe it. Her smile grew though, green eyes gleaming with it as they met Yue’s blue again. She still had her hands grabbing his tunic, like she didn’t want to move away a single inch.

Once he’d pulled back a bit to get a better look at her he really just couldn’t help himself. His expression lit up into the fullest grin the other elf would probably ever see from him. He well and truly can’t help himself as he picked her up and spun her around with a laugh. Its the most light and happy he’s felt in a while.

Its a moment later when he sets her back down quickly, steps back give her some space. Rather give himself some space, quickly composing himself with a clearing of his throat. Trying to maintain some look of composure and grace.

“Ah…yes. That was very…” Exhillarating. Delightful. Exciting. Thrilling.
