Aoren laughed softly as the pup in his arms wriggled excitedly. He held it gently but firmly so that it didn’t fall. Isikai nudged his leg making him look down.
“What?” The large black dog pawed at the ground eliciting another chuckle from Aoren. “You’ll get to play with her soon enough. Now come on, we’re already late.”
Aoren had spent days pondering on the right gift to give Caelum in celebration of the one year anniversary of his business. The Alements tavern already seemed like it was a staple in Rivarian society. It had grown and it was growing still. Aoren had wanted to give a gift that could relate to that. Seeing how fond the Ethaefal was of dogs, what with his routine habit of rolling around in the dirt with them for fun, Aoren felt it a perfect match. The pup would grow as Caelum’s business did and in a small way Aoren hoped that it would also be somewhat symbolic of the relationship between the both of them. The pup wiggled again, Aoren leaned in nuzzling her with a smile.
“I know you’re excited. You can hear all of the people. We’re almost there.” Isikai padded faithfully at his side. There were few places that Aoren went without the dog. Ever since purchasing him in Syliras the two had traveled a great many places together with the hound ever watchful. As trio of man and dogs stepped inside the tavern, Aoren could only smile at the commotion held within. The whole of the establishment seemed alive with excitement. He spot a few familiar faces but there were many that he either wasn’t at all familiar with or had only seen in passing. Upon entering, Isikai immediately dove into the gathering of people sniffing out Lillian eager to gobble up whatever scraps the girl might have for him. It was a game that they played, one that Aoren was well aware of but couldn’t find the heart to make it known that he knew.
It was not long before he spot Caelum. The man was adorned in his Spring colors. Each shade just as impressive as the next. He made his way through the room until he stood just a few inches away from Caelum making no attempt to hide the Imperial Watcher pup in his arms. Leaning forward he pressed a kiss to Caelum’s cheek neither caring who saw, nor in any mood to hide his excitement for the man. When he withdrew he extended the puppy.
“Congratulations.”
