Midsummer Honeymoon (w/ Yuiisai)

It hadn't be to long ago that the raven haired former courtesan was single, now she was formally married, that came with the realisation that even if she wanted to go back to what little she remembered of herselves former life she couldn't now. There was the question of what they would do now they were married, given their status as dark mages it wasn't as if they could go many places to start up a home, the Rune Knights would be all over them. For three days they couldn't touch well, that wasn't completely true she could give him one kiss at the end of the evening, she knew he yerned for more but this was her way of marriage it seemed so the rules would be followed. It was difficult him she knew this but it was the quickest way given they hadn't courted in any form, sure they had done a few jobs but that was mostly her wanting to kill him for one reason or another but on the third night she had given him the marriage wine which it seemed he was all to willing to drink, the cup was returned to her and she too drank deeply from it when it was refilled by her attendant Aguya. From that moment they were wed, for all he drove her up the wall he accepted everything about her no matter how odd it was, he himself was handsome and when they consumated she could tell he was skilled there also.

After the consumation she was relaxing her eyes closed with her head on his chest her finger drawing circles, it was when he mentioned they should go on a honeymoon, this term was new to her and it showed on her face and in her tone when she asked him to explain. She had been married countless times thanks to what her former life was, but this was one she didn't enter into because it was expected of her to earn her way, she wanted to do this of her own free will. The other marriages didn't permit her past the arch of the pleasure district she was from, the one many knew as 'the dream' as it was the duty of those who lived within it to give and fulfil the dreams of those who came to it. It of course had darker sides, the sides that no courtesan hoped to fall into because that to them was a nightmare but with this union she would never have to worry about her former life again. At least she believed she wouldn't only time would tell the truth on that. She snapped out of her own thoughts as what a honeymoon was explained to her and nodded, she couldn't deny that it sounded wonderful but she wondered where they would be going.

The morning after she got up early to bathe and get dressed, however, she wanted to wear something more appealing to her new husband and so went to the closet to go through her clothing until she knew what she wanted to be dressed in. It was a beautiful pastal pink hanfu with a lavender sash, there was a slight break between the hanfu and the sleeves and for the first time she allowed some of her cleavage be in display but made sure that it was tasteful. When she was happy with how she was dressed she moved to deal with her hair and the hairpins that went with it before doing her make up, the whole time she had incense on around her allowing it to seep into her clothing and skin as she was getting prepared for her day. She hadn't even bothered to wake Baird, he would wake when he would wake and was enjoying some quiet time, she had just finished placing on the jewellery that went with this outfit when she heard something outside.

Heading to the window she blinked seeing a carriage, she was about to ask who the carriage was looking for when she seen the green haired goofball that was her husband hanging out the window, he told her that he had everything planned. She was excited for the trip sure but the fact he had planned it without her knowledge made her worried too. She moved down the stairs and into the carriage with some help from the driver of the carriage "Thank you." she said before seating herself across from Baird "Where are we going?" she then looked him up and down "And what are you wearing? We are such opposites." she groaned jerking a little as the carriage moved forward towards their honeymoon destination. She then leant forward and tapped his new guild symbol neither of them had, had one for the longest time, not since they had been within Nightmare together so it was nice to see that he had found a new place. "Hay, perhaps I should join too." she suggested, in honesty she had no idea which guild's guildmark it was or what they where about but if it wasn't to bad she to would join if only to be closer to him. Hearing him sigh she looked out the window to see what was bothering him, her eyes lighting up as she seen the cherry blossoms "Oh Baird!" she said her tone filled with joy and excitement "You knew I was homesick so brought me here for our honeymoon, how romantic!" she quickly moved from where she was sitting to be sat on his lap curling on his lap "I love you so much more for doing such a thing for me." she said her eyes showing him she wasn't decieving him in any way.

It was when he spoke she looked out the window once more and seen the decorations, her ears picking up the gentle and joyful music, a smile creeping across her face "A celebration or festival I would guess." she said looking to him once more as he spoke nodding "You done this for me, so I can do that for you." she said in a semi sensual whisper before bitting his bottom lip in a playful and gentle manner. As he started to move she went to where she had been sat watching him stand up in the still moving carriage and face palmed "Sit down before you hurt yourself, or worse me." she said with a sigh wondering what made her go through with the marriage when he done things like this, she knew he had smarts but just at times they seemed to be on vaccation and this was one of those times.
