The Drenched Guild

"I've been waiting for you to say that for so long." She chuckled and kissed him.

"I wish I said it sooner."
Zerom kissed Anna back and held the kiss.

Vox suddenly stumbled over a root landing square on his face. as he felt the pain he let out a loud yell that could be heard over the forest and near the lake
"Oh for the love of everything i will destroy you cursed root."

Anna jumped and turned her head to look toward the sound. "Must've been Vox. Again." She sighed. She looked back at Zerom and laughed. "He seems to ruin every moment, doesn't he?"

"Ya it kinda funny."
Zerom laughed as he laid his head on Anna's chest.
"Well atleast we have each other."

She nodded. "Yes, we do." She agreed with a smile.

"We should go back to camp or do you wanna stay out here with just me?"
Zerom said as he rubbed his head on Anna's head.

She held her head against his. "What do you want to do, Zerom?" She asked.

"I love to be with just you Anna."
Zerom smiled as he looked at Anna's eyes.

She closed her eyes and rubbed her head against his, purring. "You're so sweet."

Zerom purred and smiled.
"We should find somewhere to fall asleep."

She nodded. She waited a moment. "Are you going to stand up?" She laughed.

"Oh ya sorry."
Zerom got up and off of Anna and smiled.

She got up and stood next to him. "Shall we go?" She asked.

"To my cave or yours?"
Zerom smiled.

Her eyes looked off to the side, trying to avoid eye contact with Zerom. She then looked down at the ground nervously, slightly scratching at the ground. "Err...You know, since this is our first night together I think we should just try to take it slow. So nobody gets...Suspicious." She replied somewhat sheepishly. She looked back up at him, her eyes somewhat guilty. "I just don't want anyone to know about us yet, if that's okay with you?" She gave a weak smile.

"Alright then. Where shall we meet tomorrow if you want to?"
Zerom said with a weak smile as he got up.

"We'll most likely see one another at the Guild, but try to not seem suspicious. I'll go out hunting in the afternoon and you could leave a little later in a different direction. Then we can meet here." She suggested her plan.

"Alright then that sounds good."
Zerom smiled and nodded.

Anna smiled. "Thanks, Zerom." She nuzzled his shoulder with her beak and turned. "I'll see you tomorrow." She walked down the hill towards her home at the Drenched Guild.

"Alright Anna."
Zerom smiled as he looked at the sky.

~later~
Anna arrived at her home, a small hollow stump with a decayed log resting on it. She crawled into the stump and tucked her wings close to her body. She soon fell asleep, welcomed by sweet dreams.

Zerom sighed as he began to fly back he knew he couldn't fall asleep or he will have another problem like this morning so he went into his cave and stared at a wall.
"I fluff it there not one day I fear it will take over me again."
Zerom said silently.

Vox sighed a bit as he stared up at the sky while on his back. He had made it back to the guild and his personal cave. he seemed a bit surprised by what he saw today but still did not let it cloud his mind. He though he saw zerom fly overhead but thought it could have just been a bird of sorts
