"Just a little bit of payback."

"Entirely innocent revenge."

Kiss!

Giggle kiss!

And back to (by now somewhat lazy) celebrations of their marriage.

Eventually there's a soft sound from outside the front door like something being set down, a sharp, single knock, and then a very deliberate noise of someone walking away. 

A bit fortunately timed. They're low on supplies.

Permalink

Mmmm they should go check.

Permalink

Maybe feed Luthien. See if Orome left bath supplies, too, a bubble bath with Luthien sounds excellent. 

Permalink

It does. Her Mygwainor would look very good in bubbles, she thinks.

Giggle kiss. 

And up to get clothes on and check the door?

Permalink

Up!

Permalink

And clothed.

Mygwainor opens the door to reveal...

One: a very tall tree in a very large pot, bearing enormous green, spiky fruits.

Two: a very confused living dinosaur a bit larger than an elf (some kind of raptor? Mygwainor doesn't know much about dinosaurs. It looks carnivorous).

Three: a very large dead dinosaur (...Mygwainor thinks that isn't a triceratops proper but it looks like one).

Four: a lilac bush, also potted.

Five: a basket of soaps, other toiletries, fine cloths, knives, assorted utensils, a very nice bow, and shiny rocks.

Mygwainor starts snickering madly. "Did Orome not ask for advice..."

"Unless Aman has some very different ideas about appropriate gifts for newlyweds..."

Permalink

"Generally it doesn't! Other than a slightly higher focus on jewelry, I suppose - maybe that's what the rocks are about, I'm not sure Orome knows the difference between precious gems and shiny stones."

Permalink

"They are, to be fair, very shiny rocks."

"I have no idea whatsoever what we should do about," she waves at the dinosaur, "that."

Permalink

"Train it to menace unwanted guests, clearly. It'd need a bit of a magic nudge to be large enough to ride..."

Permalink

Kiss.

"People might think you're relapsing if we do that, Mygwainor."

Permalink

Kiss. "Maybe just very gently herd unwanted guests away. And I bet it can do tricks. Play fetch."

Permalink

"Carnivores are usually reasonably intelligent..."

Permalink

"I heard at some point that raptors especially are."

Permalink

Does it seem friendly if she approaches it?

Permalink

Very wary, but not particularly aggressive.

Permalink

She starts humming a soft, relaxing song.

Permalink

It blinks at her, then relaxes and trills curiously.
