"You mean the ring? Well, I have one too to match yours." On his ring finger, on the left, is a plain gold ring to remind him of their bond and vows. Well, indeed, she is of great help to him on the land and on the field, working together. With them both working on their farms, Saga is working on making a gate on the wooden fence that separates their land, so when the gate opens they can visit each other freely.

"I slept well. Better than I had in ages." He said. "I love coffee. If you're making some, then I am coming over right now."

At that the phone is shut-off. He made a mental note about the bird from where he's guessing it's still her and will ask about it later. In a few moments, he's walking toward her house and is knocking on her door.

"Yes, the ring. Because you gave it to me." She smiles even more at the sight of the ring on his finger. Matching rings. There was something special about having the matching rings. A wing moves to shyly hide her blushing and happy face from him.

"I am glad to hear it. I shall pray that I was able to help with your sleep." She giggles a little. "I am making this batch just for you. I shall pray that you will enjoy it as much as my teas."

And with the phone shutting off, she hurries into the kitchen to check on the coffee. As she checks, she goes to idly preen herself to make herself more presentable. And to idly hide all the hickies he has given her the night before.

All those hickies are proof of their nights together. Saga is waiting at the door wondering what took her so long. Honestly, with them being husband and wife, they should live together, though he didn't get his weekly check yet to upgrade the rooms and buy a new bed to fit for two (and her wings) yet, as he's been saving up for that.

The moment she opened her door to welcome him in, he surprises her by lifting her up, circling her around in a slow dance and gives her a morning kiss, and once the circle is complete, slowly lower her down.

"Hm. How are you Darling~?" Two things he's excited about. Kissing his wife in the morning and getting that promised coffee.

Even if for now, they are not living under the same roof due to size, Leanne still makes sure to help keep his bed warm and almost always messy. He has been so patient with her with first winning her over and now some of her issues, that she has been carrying.

She lets out a surprised squeak as he suddenly lifts her and starts circling her around. A series of giggles slip out of her as he does so and then the kiss. Hnnnn, she could never get tired of his kisses.

"I am good, my husband~" She sighs out and goes to give him another kiss. "On top of tending to the fields, I have been going through my things to see what I can bring to our home without taking up too much room." Another kiss before she goes to lead him towards the kitchen where the coffee is brewing.

"It's almost done, I would give it around a minute."

Saga doesn't like a cold bed or a cold bath. He's mostly a spring and summer person. So far, Leanne is learning what he likes and dislikes, taking one day at a time.

Even if she has issues and fears, his patience is coming from his love for her and to him, it's a test. So far, his patience won him out and he wanted to help her overcome her fears. Even if it means if he has issues and fears within himself, he didn't want to burden her.

More than anything, he wants her to be happy and feel safe living here and being her mate, protecting her freedom, and really make it and make a home for her in the valley.

"Then I'm good when you feel good." The smell of coffee is strong in the air. Following her to the kitchen to watch her brew it and wait for it to be done. "Just add cream and sugar, and that will be perfect."

This could get some time to get used to and being accustomed in being her mate. "Is it done yet?"

The cold bed is the only thing she could help him with. That and any issues or concerns he has. She loves him and is willjng to burden herself with them. To share those burdens with each other.

"Cream and sugar, darling? Anything else?" She coos and smiles loving up at him. "And I am happy because of your happiness."

She goes to grab a mug and sets it down on the table before grabbing the cream and sugar to set it by his mug. "It should be done now. I shall pray thag you will like it."

And now she fetches the pot of coffee and moves to pour it into the mug, carefully.

There are plenty of things she can help him with! Making the bed warm, do the laundry, and making him coffee, be creative and think up ideas for bedroom activities at night...those activities certainly helps him forgot issues. All the issues.

When the mug is full and he's ready to drink it for a taste. Blowing gently to cool it. Cream and sugar added. Mixed it. He then takes a sip from the mug. Then another. Then he smiles, a loving smile. "No, it's perfect. Thank you, my love."

Coffee is perfect. Husband approved. He's happy. "Coffee is the first drink that I like every morning." He said. Making coffee for him. Definitely a wife skill she must master.

After a few moments of sipping his coffee, he really wanted to ask her. He's really curious and is prepared for the consequences.

"Leanne, we're...together now. That means we share a bit of ourselves and know each other some secrets." Some. Not all. "So, what I really wanted to know is....do you...?"

A pause, figuring how to bring this up. "Do you have certain powers that I should be aware of?"

Bedroom activies were always the best way to forget issues. She is learning everything from him. But she is happy, happy that she is now a wife and a mate. Performing these small tasks for him.

She watches as he preps the mug of coffee for tasting and holds her breath. But then when he said that it was perfect, she starts beaming, her wings glowing from the happiness that he liked the coffee.

"I will have to make it for you every day then." She chirps out.

Though she picks up on his hesitation and tilts her head. She goes to blush and looks away before looking back at him. "You saw my shifted form. All Laguz has that ability. It was probably surprising for you to see..."

He only smiles and laughs softly, because she is so sweet, and he gave her a kiss. "That would be nice. I think on some days, let me make you some coffee too." His heron is very thoughtful to remember to make this a daily ritual, but he believes she can do what she can.

He figured what Laguz means. So all Laguz have this ability. It was certainly surprising to see her in her shifted form. "I see and from what I saw of your shifted form..." Even if it's for a brief moment.

He softly kisses her again. "I think your shifted form is beautiful. If you want to parade around the house and show off your feathers, I would like to see more of you...all of you. It might take me a while to get used to it, but I think you're a lovely heron, and from what I see you're more like a dove."

She chirps at the kiss and goes to quickly return the kiss and nuzzles his face. "I can accept that, but let me do most days as your wife." She chirps out, this is the least she can do.

Her cheeks gain a pink tinge as he kisses her again and then comments on her shifted form. "I am sorry, Darling that I didn't show it to you before... I was scared that you would see it as monsterous." But she blushes even more and gives him a quick kiss before taking a few steps back and shifts back into her Heron form, watching him closely to gauge his reaction to it.

He nodded, "I would like that." And he'll be the best husband that he can be. There's nothing but love for her in his eyes. After all, a marriage is about being their best.

"I don't see it monstrous at all...but if you don't want others to see you, it's best to shift your form in the house or outside where there's no Beorcs."

When she changes and transforms in a glow of light, and she becomes a heron just for him, the bird he has seen before. The captured video doesn't do justice when he's being in her presence.

His reaction is that of awe and wonder. So this is a heron, and her form is beautiful and graceful to him. Slowly, he reaches out with his hand. "Can I...can I pet you?" It's natural to be curious and he wondered what her feathers feel like.

"Beorcs usually considered we Laguz as monsters because of our shifted forms." She goes to explain a little but was a little relieved when he mentioned that he doesn't see her as monsterous.

Bird eyes continue to watch him closely, a small bit of fear still lingered in the back of her mind but.... It was quickly dashed at the question and she giggles, her tail feathers swaying back and forth behind her as she goes to nudge his hand with her head. "Go ahead my love."

Saga would find her feathers had the same softness as her wings despite her crest being pure gold. "My crest.... When a crest appears, it means that we are an adult. Mine... Mine looks like my mother's crest." So happy about that.

He sighed. He can really sympathize. "Oh, darling...I don't see a monster. It still you. In another form. And it's no less what people think and I don't care what they think. You're all I see in my eyes."

He senses her fear, and softly. When her bird head nudges her hand. "Come here, darling." He reaches out, and hold her bird body in his arms. She's very soft and warm with such downy feathers."

He pets her head, from the long feather crown, down her long swan-like neck, and touch and pet her back between her wings. She so cute, that he is filled with happiness just from holding her.

Then he coos soothingly, realizing she must have missed her family and her kin back home...all gone. "Yes, you're an adult. I bet you look like your mother and father too." He then kisses her cute bird head and murmurs. "I love you..."

"My love..." So sweet, he can calm her fears so sweetly and gently. "I am glad that I am not a monster in your eyes."

She was truly glad. She blinks as he gently goes to hold her in his arms, even in her shifted form. She lets out a few chirps as he goes to start petting her. His hand moving ever so gently petting her.

The comfort he was giving her... She was glad that she was in her shifted form. The cooing and then the kiss to her head with the murmurs. Her tail couldn't stop swaying behind her and her whole body goes to glow in happiness. "I love you too..." A brief pause. "You... You can have one if you like. One of my crest feathers."

He kisses her cute bird head and makes humming coo sounds in return to her chirps and coos as he stroke through her head and down her neck, and scratched her back, smoothing out the feathers on her wings. He felt truly blessed to have her as his mate.

"Not a monster." He can truly attest that, that she's truly innocent. In his past, he did things he wasn't proud of, and regret every sin he made. But he repented and he hoped to start over by beginning a new life with her. "You're a treasure in my heart and everyday you give me joy and happiness."

"Your feather is gold...but all of you, the rest of you is my true treasure." And hopefully, his true treasure that is soon to be growing in her belly that isn't swollen with their child yet. Smiling softly, "But thank you, darling. Do you want to tuck your feather on my head?"

His attempted bird coos were always pleasant to hear... And also quite adorable. Her bird head nuzzles against him as he continues to give her shifted form affection.

Okay, she was glad that she was in this form right now. He wouldn't have to see her tear up at his words. What has she ever done to gain such a loving mate as him? "And you are my treasure... And the lord of my heart and soul."

She goes to nod her head before giving him an affectionate nuzzle. "I would but you should pick the feather. That way, it would be one of your choosing." She coos as she continues to be as affectionate as she can be in this form.

"Should... I should I ever become with child and give birth to our child, I will lose the ability to shift into this form as well as the rest of my powers." She lets out a small sigh before chirping and cheeping again. "But the latter will be passed onto them. They will inherit everything from me."

He continues to stroke over the neck, her back, and her feathers. To him, it's not odd that he's married to her. This form of hers...is another aspect of her, but she is still her, that he knows.

It gives him joy to hear that, that he's her mate. When she nuzzled him, it tickles, but even as a bird, she's so sweet.

"All right, let me just...I hope it doesn't hurt." He plucked a gold crest feather. "This one." The gold feather shines and simmers, and when he stroke it, it's soft and wonderful to hold and so light.

At that, that caught his attention. "I see. Aren't you afraid? Afraid of losing your powers?" He didn't want her to be afraid to have children with him, and that even after she lost her powers and passed to their children. "I don't want you to be afraid...that we can have a family...and that I think we'll be okay and all right if we work together. The children will have your gift and they will have my strength."

It was so easy to fall into his embrace. To let herself go as he holds and pets her. Her tail continues to sway behind her as Saga has accepted all of her so easily.

She doesn't wince when he plucks a feather from her and goes to examine it. A small giggle goes through her and She lets out some happy chirps. "Now, only you will have such a feather from me."

When he mentions behind afraid of losing her powers, she goes to sit down and looks away. Her body language stating that she was uneased a little. ".... I am afraid. Terrorfied really... I want to be selfish and not lose them but..." She sighs and shifts back into her normal form. "But I made this choice when I picked you. I know that one day we will have nestlings of our own and I look forward to that day."

A small smile. "I love you Saga and I do want a family with you. Even despite my fears I want one with you. I am just scared that I wont be able to protect them... Shield them from danger without them. I... I also fear that I wouldnt feel like myself without them..."

Indeed he does and he'll have to tuck her gold feather on his hair for now. And in a flash of light when she shifted back to her form, the form he's accustomed to seeing every day, he listens carefully.

"Your choice is not an easy path. It's not easy..." Saga has fears and insecurities of his own. But it's something he felt he can't burden her with since her hopes are his hope, and the thought of losing her powers, and the thought of children inheriting a chance of his powers or her powers. She'll be more mortal as much as he. Saga faced a lot of dangers in the past and raising children is the least mortal danger as far as Saga knows. "We'll protect them together. I'll teach them all I know to help themselves."

Despite her fears, his heart is in the right place. This is where his strength should devote itself too. It gives him purpose and this is his divine purpose.

"I'll protect you and the children. Don't worry. I think with our children, we'll be a family we always dream to be. I dream they play on the front lawn, play with the animals, and they are happy and free. If our days are peaceful since the day I met you, then our chances are very good, we can have this peace for the years to come."

With a sad smile, "I'm sure we won't lose them. Back home, in the Sanctuary where I was trained, a child enters the temple of Athena as young as 5 and they become an adult at 13." He sighed. "I realized I was a man when I turned 15. Even at that age, the saints learned what is it they wanted from life and they learn to take care of themselves. As parents we just have to make sure our children has a safe place to call home where they learn to live, laugh, and grow up."

She smiles as she sees him tucking her gold feather into his hair. She was grateful that he was willing to listen to her fears and insecurities. She can sense that he has his own but.... Perhaps one day, he will tell them to her.

"I know that you will protect all of us. But I still want to help keep any nestling that we have safe." She giggles softly at the image. "I can see them playing with you, all of you rolling about in the dirt and laughing." She then sighs. "Yes, I shall pray that our days will continue to be peaceful."

She sees the sad smile and moves at once to hug him, trying to use her scent and touch to try and comfort him. "I am sorry, my love... You were forced to grow up far too fast. I shall pray that perhaps, with our children... You can regain some of your youth back or be truly happy once more."

He shook his head at her apology, "Don't be. It's part of a rite of passage for me to become a knight." A ritual that is dated back in the age of myths for each incarnation of Athena and her soldiers. "I accepted my responsibilities eagerly because I wanted to grow up and prove myself. And I want to prove to my Goddess that I can keep her laws and traditions."

A chuckle as he brings her closer to him because she is warm and because it feels good holding her body close.

"I don't mind growing old with you and raise our nestlings together and watch them grow up. We'll protect them together in a peaceful world. I shall teach them how to fight for justice, and we shall teach from right or wrong, and how the world works."

She looks up at him and still holds him. "But still you should have enjoyed the chance of being a child. To enjoy childhood. Such proof of one so young should needed to be demanded, my love."

She lets herself be held and sighs. Her poor mate, even if he claims that he wanted to... This was something that shouldn't have been forced.

"I may still look like this even as you grow old, Darling." She then chuckles as she nuzzles against him. "The one thing I shall ask, let them be children first. Some may not be born with the warrior spirit."

His childhood is rather muted as he sacrificed much of himself to care for others in the Sanctuary as most Saints are orphans. He carried himself with a serious responsibility of being the older brother when he was young. Or being ambitious to climb his way to the top...only to learn even the mighty can fall down if it weren't for those meddling kids.

It wasn't forced since he made the choice of being the strongest knight. And he valued strength above all else. Which lead him to make terrible choices. "That I don't know much about. I hoped our children can teach me something about that."

"I don't mind whatever path they choose. If it's a girl, she can be a doctor. Or if it's a boy, he can choose something more peaceful. I didn't want them to be Athena's saints and follow in my footsteps...not that my Goddess need anymore warriors since the war is over." He said.

"So...whatever they choose, the future is theirs. As long they are happy...so yes, of course. Perhaps I should invest in buying them toys."

Leanne goes to study him before lifting a hand to cup his face within it. None of them had one as hers was forcefully taken away by the fires and then the sleeping spell. Her hand moves to go and caress him.

She sighs and moves to first nod her head against him and then kisses his lips briefly. "Yes, I am sure that they will be able to teach us things we never got to experience ourselves."

But then he mentions what his wishes were and she couldn't help but to giggle. "Then, we shall both agree to let them be what ever they choose to be." And then she giggles even more and shakes her head.

"Darling~ I will have to be with child first before we can think about toys, my silly mate."
