* Sanriel wipes his face on his napkin and leans back a little, smiling.

<Sanriel> Ahhh, that was good. ::smiles::

* Tarri takes a last swallow of her cider and smiles at her fiance. "Yes, it was!" She giggles a little. "Are you sure one of your talents isn't locating good food?"

<Sanriel> ::grins at Tarri:: I'm glad you like! I think the food here is really good.. not as good at Rhys' cooking, but pretty good.

<Sanriel> ::winks:: I found you, didn't I?

<Tarri> ::giggles again, shaking her head:: Maybe I should teach you how to cook for yourself!

<Sanriel> You could *try*. ::reaches over to take one of Tarri's hands and smiles:: I'd rather cook with you than for myself, though.

<Tarri> ::smiles, blushing slightly:: That's sweet...

<Sanriel> So are you, Tarri. ::rubs her hand lightly::

<Sanriel> Well.. now that I've dragged you out for lunch and spent a few minutes stuffing my face.. ::grin:: How's your day been?

<Tarri> ::laughs lightly:: Pretty good. Things are slowing down a lot at the temple - the city is calmer than before, and they've had a chance to train up some of the other acolytes and novices so they're not so short-handed... We're mostly seeing routine, day-to-day injuries now, the kind of stuff they treated non-magically before, anyway.

<Sanriel> Good! I was a bit curious about why it was so easy to tear you away, today. ::lets out a sigh:: IT's good to hear that things are calming down so much.

<Tarri> ::nods:: I don't have to be back for another hour or so... ::she grins at him slightly:: So shall we walk off the post-meal lazies, or give in and find a place to snuggle for a bit?

<Sanriel> hmmm.. such a *tough* decision.. ::grins::

* Sanriel stands up and smiles down at Tarri, lifting her hand a bit to help her up.

* Tarri giggles and tucks her arm through Sanriel's as she stands.

* Sanriel escorts Tarri out of the jittery jongleur and towards the psionics school.

<Sanriel> ::grins:: One of the best things ab out his place is that it's not too far from the school.

<Tarri> ::laughs and leans her head against Sanriel's shoulder briefly:: That is nice. I hadn't realized how close it was, before.

<Sanriel> mmmm... Yeah. ::smiles and kisses Tarri's hair:: I'm pretty good at finding my way around, I just have to explore a bit.

<Tarri> ::smiles up at him:: You're very clever.

<Sanriel> ::blushes a little as he guides Tarri through the shortcut, bringing them right across the street from the school:: Nah, I just know how to get learn an area.

<Tarri> ::grins:: It seems awfully clever to *me*. It took me ages just to learn how to get around the *market*.

<Sanriel> ::blushes a little:: Well.. how about just good at different things, then? ::kisses Tarri's cheek as they walk through the gate, drawing a couple of smirks from exiting students::

<Tarri> I'll agree to that! ::she loftily ignores the smirkers as she hugs Sanriel::

* Sanriel sighs happily as he walks with Tarri to his room and opens the door for them. It appears to be a bit cleaner, without *quite* so much stuff strewn about, or at least not quite as randomly.

<Sanriel> ::blushes a little:: I tried to clean up a little... I don't think it worked too well.

<Tarri> ::looks around a bit as she crosses to sit on the edge of his bed:: It looks a *little* better, anyway...

<Sanriel> ::a bit sulkily:: I didn't think it really reflects the amount of work I put into it, either. ::sighs:: Taking care of a room by myself is something I definitely don't have the hang of, yet.

<Tarri> ::laughs:: I'll help, if you want. Sometimes just having someone around to talk to makes it go faster.

* Sanriel wiggles onto the bed and plants his head in Tarri's lap, smiling up at her.

<Sanriel> Hi!

<Tarri> ::giggles:: Hi, there. Comfortable?

<Sanriel> mmm-hmm! ::reaches up to run a finger over Tarri's chin:: Very!

<Sanriel> ::grins lightly:: Nap time?

<Tarri> ::runs her fingers through Sanriel's hair:: Not if I have to sit up the whole time! ::she grins::

<Sanriel> ::mock pouts:: But your lap is so *comfy*!

<Tarri> ::giggles and leans down to kiss him:: So is yours!

<Sanriel> mmmm. ::sighs happily after the kiss, then grins and gets up a little, rolling around behind Tarri and pulling her down to the bed and wrapping both arms around her:: Better? ::grins and kisses the back of her neck::

<Tarri> mmMM... ::shivers slightly at the sensation, tipping her head to expose her neck a little more:: That feels nice...

<Sanriel> ::small chuckle:: How amazing! I think so, too... ::gently runs a slow trail of kisses along the back of Tarri's neck::

* Tarri gasps softly, then shifts in his arms, turning to face him. She lifts a hand to caress his cheek, smiling as she meets his eyes.

<Sanriel> ::smiles and touches the tip of his nose to hers:: I love you.

<Tarri> I love you, too. ::she kisses him::

* Sanriel eagerly returns the kiss, letting out a very contented sigh.

<Tarri> ::echoes Sanriel's sigh and snuggles a little closer::

<Sanriel> ::smiles softly:: Hey.. I want to try something... ::gives Tarri a quick kiss:: Try to hold still.. don't say anything for a minute...

<Tarri> ::nods and relaxes a little, watching Sanriel's face::

* Sanriel touches his forehead to Tarri's and closes his eyes, breathing evenly.

<Tarri> ::closes her eyes as their foreheads touch and smiles, enjoying the closeness::

<Sanriel> ::begins to smile after a minute, eyes still closed:: I think I did it.. ::whispering:: I can hear your heartbeat...

<Tarri> ::grins, and whispers back:: You always make my heart pound, sweetling...

<Sanriel> ::blushes and opens his eyes slowly:: I'm glad... because you were hard to hear over my own. ::kisses Tarri again. pulling her closer::

<Tarri> ::slides her arms around Sanriel as she happily returns his kiss, pressing herself against him::

<Tarri> ::After a long moment, she breaks away and sighs happily before looking at him with wide, curious eyes:: ...So that's another thing you can do? ::she smiles:: What's it mean?

<Sanriel> ::takes a couple of breaths, opening his eyes and smiling:: Not sure yet, but... Lisl said she thought I was sometimes enhancing my senses somehow, so I've been practicing that. I think I'm getting better at it. ::grins, eyes dancing merrily::

<Tarri> ::returns his grin:: That's great! Have you... had any visions, lately?

<Sanriel> ::shakes his head:: Not much in the past couple of days... I kept an old lady from tripping over a dog. ::smiles a little:: That was about all, though.

<Tarri> ::smiles:: Well... that's not so bad. You need to rest sometimes, too, you know!

<Sanriel> ::snickers a little:: Look who's talking! ::grins and nuzzles Tarri's neck:: I do get plenty of sleep, though.

<Tarri> Mmm... That's good. ::she snuggles closer again, and sighs contentedly:: It'll be nice when we're married, and we can cuddle up to sleep like this every night...

<Sanriel> mmm-hmmm... ::sighs happily, eyes drooping:: Really nice...

<Tarri> ::grins at her fiance:: Ready for a bit of nap, now, huh?

<Sanriel> ::chuckles a little, nodding:: You're *comfy*. ::grins sleepily::

<Tarri> ::giggles a little:: You, too... ::she yawns, his sleepiness infectious:: ...wouldn't mind a little nap, myself...

* Sanriel murmurs something loving and kisses Tarri gently, then lays down his head and looks at her, his eyes gradually drooping shut.

* Tarri watches Sanriel drop off, then closes her own eyes to follow, a faint smile lingering on her lips.
