Alekse strode up to the doorway to the rooms he now shared with Zahrah and Zarel, glad to hear the sounds of a gentle hammer against metal as Zahrah worked at her Craft. Zarel must be in creche, and that was fine. He’d see her soon enough.
With a warm smile, he rapped at the door frame before entering, his smile stretching into a wide grin. She was bent over her workbench, chewing at her lower lip in concentration as she worked a small piece of metal into a particular spot, no doubt molding it for a facet of glass to be placed within it.
“Good morning, beautiful.” He crossed over to her, waiting for her to finish what she was working at before leaning down to press a kiss to her lips. “Got back a bit earlier than expected; the weather was surprisingly decent south of Benden Hold. The Nerat sunrises are a lovely sight, but you are a sight better, I think. Couldn’t wait to see you again.”
“Now, before I let myself settle in here, I was hoping I could get your thoughts on something. Venan has me working on a project, and I was hoping I might be able to get another set of eyes on it. Would you mind?” He found the cloak she’d gotten at gather those months ago and held it up for her in invitation, eyebrow raised in question, trying to hide the smile playing at his lips.
