::Aurthur had been thinking for a long while. How many years had it been since he stumbled into the Inn, and ultimately, the love of his life" It seemed so long ago, and yet, like it happened yesterday. He paced around the Orphanage for a long while before he sought out his mate in the playroom, surrounded by their children, and without a word, he bowed his head down before her, and an instant hush fell over the room.::

"My love, the years have passed like days, and I have cherished every one of them....But today, I come to you to ask you a very special question......My beloved, I love you with all of my heart, as I always have. I want to renew our vows......Will you do me the honor of accepting me as your mate once again?"

::He smiled broadly and kissed her deeply, passionately, purring softly into the kiss. He held her for long moments as he kissed her.:: "I was thinking that perhaps we could take another mateship flight together, just like we did back then, and have an evening to ourselves. Actually, I was thinking we could take a second honeymoon together, just the two of us. There are pleanty that will watch over the orphanage while we are away."

Oooh, sheep........*Smacking his lips together* I haven't eaten one of those in a long, long time......or a cattle! That would be good too.....We should start preparing for our trip dear. I think a week away will do us both a lot of good.

Well, seeing as how all the preparations are made, I see no reason why we should waste time, my love. I am eager to be in the air, for the sooner we leave, the sooner we can start our little vacation, and the more quiet time we can have together alone.

::He nuzzled her tenderly before he would kiss her lips. Every kiss, every touch, even just looking at her ignited his love for her like a white hot flame. And over the years, that love had only gotten stronger and stronger, a bond that would never be broken.:: I've never been to ring valley, my love, so you will have to lead the way.....But I will be right behind you the whole way.

How far away is it, dear" How long of a flight before we get there" *It was clear that he was anxious to be there, so much so that he was practically squirming in anticipation, and his eyes gleamed as though he were a young drake again.*

This place seems so peaceful and quiet.......and it seems that your fairly well known here too, love. *Chuckling, motioning to those who waved.* "I think I shall enjoy our time here.

::Landing next to his mate, he nuzzled her before giving her his best, sexiest pout, giving her the big eyes:: Go shopping love" But we just got here......Why don't we just go get something to eat, and then spend the rest of the day snuggling"

That's right, my love. A whole week of just you and me, a time for us to relax. And I do plan on taking you on another courtship flight. *He cupped her lower jaw in his paw and kissed her deeply, passionately, holding the kiss for a few long moments before he broke the kiss.* I love you as much now as I did the first day i met you, Icer Shimmerscale.
