[recluserose]

Well, that's not too surprising.
But between you and me, she is the most distinguished feline and her wingspan certainly doesn't hurt in terms of asserting dominance.

[netherese]

Oh, I'll not breathe a word to anyone, though I'll have you know she would be quite chuffed to know you feel that way. She's rather fond of you, as it so happens.

[Hardly news, but it does please him that his oldest friend had quickly come to consider Amelia family, as well.]

[recluserose]

I'm honored. I'll let her know that the feeling is mutual someday; at least when the time is appropriate.

I'll be home soon. If it isn't too much trouble, could you water my roses for me? I've neglected them this past week.

[netherese]

Of course, my love. Consider it most enthusiastically done! I'm quite sure your roses will understand why you've been preoccupied, as well.

[Her passion and dedication for her work is one of the things that had first caught his notice when they were just getting to know one another, and it endears her to him still.]

I'll see you shortly.

[She slips her phone into her pocket just as her order number is called. Her wizard is getting some animal fries soon.

Life in Blackgale hasn't changed much, even with the arrival of Gale (that was a different kind of disruption and a great treat for gossip among her students and coworkers). The school year wouldn't stop for her, even with someone new and important in her life added to the mix.

And because it's her, it's gotten Amelia thinking about the years to come.

But that will be kept to herself for now because she's arrived home and looks for Gale amongst her garden.]

I'm home. Hope you're hungry.

[Please imagine the aroma of cheese, caramelized onions, and fried potato...]

[netherese]

[Gale is, as expected, in the garden when she arrives— kneeling down near the roses with his sleeves rolled up past his elbows, though he looks up and brightens immediately at the sound of her voice, smiling broadly as he pushes himself to his feet and dusts his hands off in front of him.]

Welcome home, darling.

[He moves to meet her, leaning in to press a chaste kiss against the side of her mouth, lingering when he catches a whiff of what she's smuggled home in the bag.]

That smells absolutely divine.

[recluserose]

[She accepts the kiss, leaning into it with a smile (everyone in Blackgale has noted she's been doing that a lot more).

The iconic paper bag of white and red palm trees dangles from her hand and she holds it up in mock triumph.]

Glad it's whetting your appetite. It's divine and greasy, two things that usually don't go together.

[Since they're within their domain, she uses her magic more freely, waving her free hand so that the lawn table and chairs slide through the grass to where they're standing.]

Let's eat outside and you can give me more of your impressions of the town.

[netherese]

I very much look forward to seeing what all the fuss is about.

[He inclines his head towards the lawn table in confirmation as she gestures, and even goes so far as to take a few steps ahead of her so that he can pull one of the chairs out, waving his own hand to indicate that she make herself comfortable before he helps himself to his own and angles it towards her to allow them to chat freely.]

As it so happens, I've been doing a bit of exploring during the day. Carefully, mind you; I've made sure not to do anything inherently magical in plain sight.
