Bregolon's young voice was the first to answer DĂșlinnor. "We went for a walk and now I'm building the Star Princess her home!" The sound of the child's voice caused DĂșlinnor to smile at him and for a moment, the older Elf watched as Bregolon went about his task of building the home he'd spoken of. DĂșlinnor was unsure of what sort of princess that he was speaking of. Next to him, Reinette giggled and he turned his gaze to her. "We went for a walk at Bregolon's insistence, and then we came home when he was tired. But he wanted a story, so I told him about a Star Princess who whispers good deeds across the Universe. And now he decided to build her house." She explained.
"Ah, that makes more sense then. It certainly sounds as if you two have been kept busy." He said with a light laugh on his voice. He went silent after that, simply watching as Bregolon continued with his building. "DĂșlinnor, please, tell us what the Healers have said of your injury. I am most eager to know of your recovery." Thurilostel said after a moment. Both womens' eyes were on him, waiting for his answer.
"They believe that the poison is nearly out of my system. This will improve my healing quite a bit. However, they were unsure of still of how long it will take before I am fully healed. The bandages can be changed only once a day now, instead of three. I am still to rest as much as possible and make sure that I'm not doing anything that can stress my shoulder. I only have to go back once I've no more pain and that is just to make sure that I am healed. After that I shall be able to start training.." He didn't finish the thought. Once his training was finished and he was approved fit for duty once again, he'd be back at the Borders.
He would also need a new bow before he began training. Since he would be using a new bow, he wished to use it for a while before heading out. He still had some time before he really needed to worry. DĂșlinnor just hated bringing up anything that had to do with with the possibility of him leaving. Reinette..he was unsure of how the young woman would handle it once the time came for him to leave her.
They remained with Thurilostel for much of the day. DĂșlinnor was more than happy to indulge Bregolon, the young Elf wanting to hear stories of his time out at the Borders or of different places that were located in their world. At one point, Bregolon had even gotten the older male to the floor, playing with a few toys that Bregolon wished to play with. DĂșlinnor had not been able to spend very much time with his Nephew since he'd been injured and the little boy was excited to be able to do so now.
Only as the hour was beginning to draw a bit later did DĂșlinnor finally suggest that he and Reinette should be leaving. Bregolon was not pleased at this. "But why? Can't you stay just a bit longer? Please?" The little boy asked, turning his eyes to Reinette. "No, Bregolon. But do not worry. You will see us soon enough. Besides, you've got to take care of your Mother. You wouldn't want your Father coming home to find out that you had help, do you?"
At DĂșlinnor's words, Bregolon's eyes widened a bit. Of course he didn't want his Father thinking that he couldn't take care of his Mother while he was away. DĂșlinnor smiled as he rose, the little boy quickly pulling himself up and hugging the other male Elf about the leg and then moved to Reinette. DĂșlinnor then moved, bidding Thurilostel a good evening as well. Only once Reinette had said her goodbyes did he move, heading towards the door slowly. He knew that he did not wish to bother Thurilostel too much or she'd know that Aglaron had asked him to keep an eye on them.
After they'd exited the flet, DĂșlinnor offered the Mortal woman his arm and kept her close to him. He began leading the way back to his flet. "I was thinking that tomorrow we could spend the day together. If you are free." He said, smiling at the woman at his side. "I should bery much like to get out at least for part of the day. Is there anything that you would like to do?" He asked her as they continued to walk.
It was only a short while later that they arrived at the flet. DĂșlinnor opened the door this time, smiling as he waited for Reinette to enter before he followed her in. She'd done so much for him during the time that he'd been unable to truly care for himself. He wished to repay her though could not think of a fitting way to do so. It was something that he would have to think on further. For now, he could at least make her something to eat.
"I will take care of the meal, if you will allow me." He said, gently pulling the woman closer to him. He placed a kiss, lightly upon her lips, lingering for only a short moment before he pulled away. DĂșlinnor had then left Reinette's side and had headed into the kitchen. He set about the task of fixing them something to eat, happy to actually be allowed to do so.
It did not take him long and when it was ready he sought out Reinette to tell her as much. He then joined her in walking back to the kitchen so that they could eat. He pulled her seat out for her before he took his own. It went about as usual. DĂșlinnor was in a rather good mood and it showed as they joked and talked.
As the meal came to a close, DĂșlinnor offered to help Reinette with the cleanup. He remained close to her when they were washing the dishes. He rather enjoyed their time together. He just simply could not shake the feeling that something was going to change..and soon. It didn't help that he was starting to realize that his feelings for Reinette ran deeper and stronger than he would ever admit to anyone. He feared..that he loved her. He wasn't even sure if she felt so strongly for him. He glanced at her, regarding her for a moment. "Perhaps you would like to join me on the roof? I am certain that we will be able to see the stars tonight."
