Taurewen felt truly whole again as she sat wrapped in her loves strong arms, she closed her eyes completely relaxed, hoping that the moment would not end.
"Beloved, " she heard Reyn whisper, she opened her eyes and rose her head to look up at him, her warm smile reflecting her happiness. As he spoke of food, she suddenly became aware of the morning sun streaming through a gap in the drapes, they had talked all night!
"Yes I think we should," she laughed slowly raising and pulling back the thick drapes, to reveal the warm midmorning sun, "We might be for rain later." Reyn whispered coming up behind her and looking to the dark clouds in the distance.
"Shall we then?" Reynion asked holding out his arm for her, she smiled a little giddy that she was actually here with Reynion as a couple in love, how long had she wished for this, she took his pre offered arm and together they went down to see if they weren't to late for breakfast.
It was not yet midmorning, but already the common room was decidedly busy, Taurėwen looked to Reynion, he smiled and gently guided her through the crowd to an empty table next to the empty hearth, Taurėwen in her light mood had politely said good morning to everyone she past, because for her it truly was a good morning.
She sat in the seat Reynion pulled out for her, "thank you," she whispered as he took his own. They barely noticed when the hobbit serving woman came to take their order, but a polite cough from the woman drew their attention.
"we are sorry" Reynion smiled to the young hobbit woman.
"No apology necessary sir," the hobbit woman beamed looking at the two lovers, Taurėwen felt herself blush under the young hobbits gaze. "Will you be wanting breakfast?" she asked, as if she had suddenly remembered why she was there.
"You order," Taurėwen whispered to Reyn.
She did not hear his words to the hobbit woman, nor did she notice the woman scurry away, she was staring raptly at her love. As he turned back he wrapped his hands round hers and they sat for a long while just gazing into each others eyes.
The sound of dishes being placed on the table broke the spell, before Taurėwen was set a wooden bowl filled with a rich creamy substance, she looked to Reynion in askance, be shrugged saying he had asked the woman to bring something with no meat.
"Honeyed oats miz," the hobbit woman smiled, hearing Reynion's words. Taking the spoon Taurewen took as small bite, then nodding she turned back to the hobbit woman. "This is delicious, my compliments to the chef, the hobbit woman gave a quick pleased nod and hurried off, back to the kitchen.
"Is it really good?" Reynion chuckled.
"Yes, it really is," she laughed,raising a spoonful for him to try.
