Ngh. Hasn't it been a week yet? All this darkness is getting on my nerves.

Martel, I've decided to come home. I... couldn't finish my business, but to stay out here even longer would be foolish. I can't do this by myself.
...
I'm sorry.

~~Yuan, you don't--~~

I'll have dinner waiting.

Thank you.

[[OOC: Wanna action post or something? These two really need to interact more. ^^']]

[The door is left unlocked; Martel's in the kitchen finishing up preparations for dinner: which will be a tasty Meat Stew (tomatoes included).]

[before entering the house, he stops to take a deep breath. Partly to steady himself for having to face Martel with the knowledge that he failed in getting his ring back, and partly because he's smelling the air hopefully. He hasn't had anything decent to eat in a few weeks, after all. Then he walks through the door and glances around]

Martel?

I'm in the kitchen.

[She spoons stew into a bowl - the largest she could find - and waits for Yuan to find her.]

[he silently wanders over to the kitchen and stops in the doorpost, smiling faintly at the sight of Martel cooking dinner]

... Hey.

... Welcome home, Yuan.

[She returns the smile and wanders over to him; leaning forward, she lightly kisses his cheek and holds the bowl out towards him.]

I made meat stew. I know it's not your favorite, but it's all I had left.

[ ooc; I laugh whenever I see that (http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/70386027/14680885) icon. XD ]

[he takes the stew, not even fully registering just what the heck it is. It's food made by Martel and that's good enough for him.]

It's perfect.

[[OOC: He's just so darn smug. XD]]

You haven't tasted it, Yuan. [laughs] It should be fine; the spirits were very helpful.

I'm sure it would taste fine even without their help.

[he takes Martel's hand in his own and leads her over to the table]

[[OOC: Jeesh! I just realized this was posted during the darkness event, which means the whole house is dark! Uhm... Well, let's just say there's heaps of lanterns around the room.]]

[she'll follow; allowing him to lead.]

I'm not very good at cooking in the dark.

[ ooc; Yes, Martel's borrowed a bunch from Raine. XD ]

[he ignores the blatant display of modesty, because by now he knows that Martel's not good at accepting a compliment. Instead, he places the bowl on the table and turns to face her, taking her other hand as well.]

... I missed you.

[icon :D;] I know.

[faint blush, but he looks away. He knows he's going to have to come clean sooner or later. Best to do it early, otherwise it'll just make things more difficult]

There's something I need to tell you.

What is it, Yuan?

[he closes his eyes so he won't have to look her in the face]

... I lost the ring.

Is that what your business was about?

Yes. I was unable to retrieve it. ... I'm sorry.

... [icon ~~again~~]

[he stiffens for a second, before returning the embrace]

...

[[OOC: Somehow, the image of Yuan in Tabatha disguise comes to mind.]]

I love you, Yuan. The ring'll never change that.

That ring is the symbol of our feelings. If I treat it so carelessly that I lose it more than once, what does that say about me?

You're worried over a ring; I know you care.

[Sigh. Why must men be so stubborn? She removes her ring and slips it into his hand.]

... I'll give you mine.

[he's touched by the gesture, really. But then he looks away again. He's known for being stubborn.]

I'd just lose it again.

Please Yuan. I won't need it when we return to Aselia.
