[PRP] Ellan and Aiden...and family???

[[Estelle]]

As if on cue, Aiden fluttered down, seemingly from a nearby tree. His golden wings shuddered before settling closer to his back as he placed a sneaky kiss on his mate's cheek. "Hello, darling! I'm surprised I caught you, with how quick you were going!" He chuckled. It was very much like Ellan to always be on the go.

"I brought you something..." He rummaged through the bag on his side before pulling out a carefully wrapped bouquet of flowers. They were from Sardonia. Since they had made their home on the main island, Aiden loved to bring Ellan flowers from the other islands when he could.

"I will have to come over, I do miss your family. But not nearly as much as I've missed you!" He chuckled as she twirled him about. She was always so excitable after visiting with her family. Truly, Aiden had felt bad he couldn't go this time. It had been some time since he'd been to her family's home. But he had been caught up working on some new confectionary recipes and they had been rather finicky and time sensitive, so he sent his love with Ellan. The flowers had been to make up for missing dinner.

"Well, what were you planning to do before I caught up to you?"

"We certainly could do any of those things. But I think we should wait a bit before trying the new recipes. It's just been dinner time, love. How will you taste test things for me? He laughed softly. Aiden loved feeding Ellan treats, but he also knew her family did not cook small meals. They could head back to his kitchen later.

It had been a while since they had stopped by the library together. It would be nice to see Parma as well. "I wouldn't mind checking out a few new books...do you remember when the kids were still little and we would go pick up books to read to them? Seems ages ago, doesn't it?"

As they made their way down the path, he made sure to move any encroaching branches out of his mate's way. His feathery wings wrapped around her shoulders as they walked, shielding her from the chill of the fall evening that was setting in.

"My love, I'm not certain if you could sit still long enough to read to them." He teased, as if he had read her thoughts. She had always been that way. It had led to Aiden both conceptually and literally chasing after her in their early days of courtship. And he would do it all again if he had to. But they had found an easy balance. She slowed for him, and he did his best to keep up with her.

"Now, which was was it again? Truly, he didn't go off to the library on his own too often, so he wasn't particularly familiar with the path. If he went, it was almost always with Ellan, and she seemed to know the way by heart.

Aiden couldn't help but laugh along as his mate spun him about. His wings fluttered, lifting his feet off the ground in order to keep from tripping over his own feet or Ellan's hooves as they twirled in the middle of the path. As she tugged his hand to take him down the correct path, he went ahead and continued relying on his wings rather than his feet. He was quicker that way, and with Ellan's exuberance, it was easier to keep up this way.

"Yes. That's right. I swear, I would never get anywhere if it wasn't for you!" The warmth of their laughter was still lingering in his voice as he fluttered after her down the path. He tucked her mane back behind her ears, keeping it contained a bit as they made their way towards the library. It wasn't too far of a trip, if he was remembering right. But then again, Aiden could be very wrong. Ellan was the one who had a better idea of the lay of the land on the main island.

Aiden couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle as Parma chided Ellan for being too loud as they passed through the large, carefully sculpted oak doors. He released his mates hand to offer a wave to the FaeElf behind the desk. A bright smile spread across his face as he watched the two exchange their typical routine. Parma always gave Ellan a hard time for her overexcitement, and Ellan always acted so apologetic, even though she would do the exact same thing next time she visited.

"Parma, dear, how have you been?" His voice was still colored with the warmth of his laughter as he walked up to the counter. For a moment, he wondered if the library housed any cookbooks. After all, while he loved to experiment, he was always looking for new techniques and recipes. Sometimes the perfect thing was found in books.
