Yeza had called up to Veth from the basement, telling her he had a surprise for her and not to come down. To wait in the kitchen for him to come up. He hoped his voice hadn’t given him away, since the potion he had drank had taken effect a while ago and it took him at least an hour to be sure that nothing would backfire and that he’d safely made it right. 

He was worried, but he climbed the steps up anyway, unsure how he felt about it and if Veth would even like it. He’d been curious about it when he saw it in one of his new books, is the thing, so he wanted to try and make the potion and see if it altered his form like it’s description claimed. It had, he certainly looked like a woman, but he didn’t have confidence that Veth wouldn’t think his interest was weird. 

Yeza startled, yelping when the door to his room in the Chateau slammed open, only recognizing the words once he managed not to drop the dagger his wife had given him for probably a reason that wasn’t this one. It wasn’t the worst way he’d been startled really, at least he wasn’t holding a volatile potion. 

He looked at Veth, who's friends called her Nott for some confusing reason, and tried to figure out what was on her face she wanted to show him that was new. 

Finding it didn’t take long, the blue design was rather lovely on the green of her skin, and it looked like it was designed in the style of a rather intricate mask for a celebration.

Yeza heard of the movie for a few months now, in passing, but had always been too busy to really find time for it. He knows Veth wants to see it, had since it was announced, and told her she could go without him, to not let him ruin her fun. 

Sure she had gone to watch it on her own awhile ago, he has a bit of a surprise when she asks him to go to the movies with him, to watch Moana, today. A rare week off from work for him, and the first day of no work he has had in awhile. Pleasant. Even more so knowing he could spend time with her. 

Yeza sighed, looking down at the small white flower in his hand, turning it in his fingers, “She was so incredibly brave, and she didn’t deserve anything that happened to her. I only wanted to give her years of happiness that our childhood didn’t give her, and it hurts my heart I only managed three. I’m sorry for rambling, we are strangers, but I needed to tell you what Veth meant to me since you were kind enough to rescue me in her name.”

“Oh,” Yeza says, staring down at her somewhat bewildered, her head taking up more room on his lap then Luc would, which he should expect really with her being a tiefling and not a small child, her horns thankfully not in danger of hurting him.

Continuation of this.

Veth leaned down, pressing her body against his and kissing him gently on the lips, and then nuzzled against his neck, kissing his sideburn. “I can do your hair too… maybe shave this….”

Veth’s shoulders lifted and wiggled a little, playful, as Yeza kissed her cheek. She gently elbowed him as his lips moved to her neck with a soft giggle and gave him his own kiss to his cheek. She often wondered how she had gotten so lucky, to find Yeza.

“Oh, sit down, sit down. Breakfast is nearly done.” Veth moved back to the stove, moving the last of the flapjacks onto another plate. She set it infront of her husband, blueberries making a smiley face in the pancake.

“One, two, threefourfive!” Luke counted out, then picked up the last one, “Six!” and popped it in his mouth.

“Good job, baby.” Veth tickled Luke’s cheek, sending him into giggles. “He read his own bedtime book last night. He’s so very smart… Just like his papa.”

“Very good.” Yeza agreed, digging into his own meal, listening to his wife. He was glad to have her, he loved her and she was so strong and smart. It was others peoples loss if they couldn’t see that, and he hoped to eventually be able to help her see that she was wonderful as well. 

He reached over and held her hand, taking a moment to finish swallowing what he was eating before he spoke, “Just like his mama, as well. I’m not the only one able to brew a potion, after all.” he smiled, giving her hand a little squeeze and a kiss.

He’d just finished setting up the shop and cleaning it, making it look presentable when people walked in, using the day off with the apothecary closed to make sure everything was in order, when he’d noticed the note left on the counter. 

It was written in Veth’s hand, something he hadn’t expected. He must have missed her checking in on him, focused on the task as he was, but sweet regardless. It said she had a surprise for him, that it would be on the kitchen table for when he went back into the house part of the building. 

It made him smile. He always loved seeing what she got for him, no matter what sort of interesting odds and ends it was. It was always thoughtful, and so very her it was hard not to love it. 

He folded the note and stuck it in his pocket as he walked through the dividing door, going into the kitchen to see what she’d got him. What he found on the table, instead of a shiny pretty object or some nice looking bottle caps, was what looked to be a doll of his wife lying across the wood. 

She made a beautiful doll, especially wearing a dress that looked exactly like one of her own. He picked her up carefully with both hands, looking her over the way he would with every one of the gifts he got from his wife, and found quickly she didn’t appear to have any seams. 

The doll was also warmer then something would be, if it was just cloth and cotton, and breathing, heavier with more substance than a doll would be. It seemed his Veth had been sneaky, made a potion and used it to surprise him then. Far be it from him to ruin her fun, in that case.
