"...We wouldn't need to worry," she says, clearly having given it some consideration. "No nations to liberate, no family to save. No enemies to take advantage if I were in such a vulnerable state..."
Her tail tightens around his arm, giving it a quick, gentle squeeze.
"There is biology to contend with, if the primals of this world even permit it." She has no intention of starting this journey without her partner knowing of all the challenges they would face. "Pregnancy is dangerous, and even if we succeed my body may still reject it... But if by some miracle she arrives we would then need to find a way to take her with us."
Era presses a kiss to his skin, letting her lips linger. She basks in the lazy comfort of his warm presence and breathes out a soft sigh.
"If you accept all of the challenges ahead... I would go on this adventure with you."
"I—" Ardbert stops, then starts again, whispering quickly. "Of course. We already discussed this... I know the challenges that lie ahead. But I wasn't thinking of now. But now works. Now is perfect."
Era wouldn't propose such a thing unless she thought it a good idea. Not when it was so life-changing. Gods, to actually be able to hold the daughter that Era says will be theirs....
"Shall we turn your misery into something else, farmboy?"
While too far up on his chest to get her point across the way she'd prefer, she does slide her tail from his arm down to the crease of his inner thigh. She leaves it there as a pointed invitation.
"I could name a couple of things, but that'd ruin the mood." Ardbert has learned a thing or two about keeping his mouth shut. "But how about we continue in our bedroom?"
"That I can do." Ardbert strokes her back softly for a few moments before rearranging her so that he can get one arm around her back and the other under her knees.
It's a practiced set of motions, often used. He hugs her closer to him, simply enjoying her weight in his arms. Maybe someday these arms will carry a child....
He walks into their bedroom, smiling down at her lovingly. "How about you let me lead tonight?"
It is a comfortable position; familiar. It makes her feel safe and loved, wrapped in his arms and held to his chest. Ardbert loves her. He chose her (even if there wasn't an abundance of options for him to choose from). She exists to him, and he is happier for it.
Era fights back the wetness in her eyes at the thought, rubbing her face against the breadth of his chest and wrapping her tail over his arm.
"...That sounds nice," she agrees, allowing some of her exhaustion to sink into her voice. "Call me by my name? No pet names tonight. Just... my name, please?"
It's comforting to him, too, to hold her in his arms. She trusts him so completely that she can relax in his arms. Her tail around his arm gives him pause from putting her on the bed, wanting to cherish the feeling.
"All right, Era," Ardbert replies with love and affection. "I can do that for you, too. My wondrous Era. I love you."
With her face now burning from more than just unshed tears, Era shifts and begins rubbing her horn against his chest instead. A slow, purposeful, and relaxing movement back and forth, soft vibrations making their way through the appendage to be translated to sound.
