He knows he needs to just be cool and not let her down as she was his world from the day she had saved him that day even if some times he wondered what in him she saw worthy of wanting to like him, he was a lowly demi-human of some kind, the thieves that raised him couldn't even tell him what he was but they could tell he wasn't fully human and the marks on him seemed strange. Ryuuji shook his head to get his focus back on the task at hand and he could see the shop coming into view and as it was still earlier in the morning the line for the people waiting to shop there was still a bit smaller but he figures at some point Kaori will want to get on his back and nap as they have around an hour to kill before the doors open but you could see into the shop as they are finishing and cutting some cakes to what looks like perfection.
A sweetie with a sweet tooth? (Kaori)

She smiled to herself so sweetly. Her eyes were hardly opened fully but the glee was clear on her face. Ryuuji just always had a way of making her emotions spill out no matter how much she was used to keeping them within.
”You never lead me astray before my love, I just can’t wait to try them~” The fae was truly excited. The little things she found to be so sweet and endearing.
When they finally made it to the shop, her husband looked into the window, while she herself got distracted with the flowers on display. Noting the kinds they had and their beauty. She couldn’t even help not tending to the ones that looked like they were withering and weak. Using the little bit of the magic she’s grasped so far to being them to life and flourish. It took her a few times before spell worked and she looked over to Ryuuji hoping that he saw her. Nothing got her more excited than then his praise and attention. After all, he was all she had left and all she still somewhat remembered. It was him and her brother really. She could not say that leaving with Ryuuji forced her to leave anything behind. She just didn’t have a recollection of what her home was. Sometimes it made her wake up at nights in a worry. What if she forgot even more? What if she forgot Ryuuji. There was a time before when he insisted she new him, though she really couldn’t remember. So what if she forget again….
Her hand would tighten on his as she fell to her worries. To sleep to stay standing she took his offer to let her nap for the moment.

He soon saw her expression fade a bit and he moved a bity closer to her, keeping her hand in his hand as he can tell she was starting to have the worries of forgetting him again that she had expressed to him in cold sweats and long nights of her needing to be cuddled and reassured that even if she did forget him, he would go to the ends of the earth to help her remember him and show her every day that he loved her till she no longer feared forgetting him.
The man put his jacket around her then made a special shield that mirrored things around them making Kaori invisible as he put her on his back piggy back style resting her head on his shoulder so no one could see her or tell that she was there on his back napping. "Sleep well my sweet Beautiful flower." Ryuuji had gotten a bit nervous and had blanked on flower names so he just said flower instead of a type of flower he hoped that she will accept that as the line was still growing and the people in the bakery are looking like they might open a bit before their normal times but should still allow for the pooped out nature mage to get a decent nap before it was time for her to pick out the sweets that she wants.

Kaori didn’t know too much about it herself beyond what Ryuuji had promised. Though just his word was always enough for her. She softy slept on his back, light snoring and stirring. When the crowd getting quite large, they also became quite loud. Rousing her once again from her sleep.
She rubbed her eyes, ”Is it time dear? Should I get up now?” Her voice was soft and still full of sleep. But she spoke with affection and excitement. She somewhat held herself up so she could look around her a bit. She make out the feet of a few people. When she looked back through the window, she could see the works wrapping the baking up. The fae smiled. ”Are you excited Ryuuji? Do you know what you want to get already?”
She leaned forward again to affectionately nuzzle his neck and show her excitement. Patting him so he knew he could let her down. She almost dropped the jacket but managed to catch it in time. Checking to make sure none of it happened to get dirty before pressing it into herself happily and handing it over.
She started to look around some more trying to figure if there was a place nearby to eat the treats they got up early and waited for. But there were so much more people around than she was personally used to. It was somewhat overwhelming to her, so she clung close to Ryuuji and looked up at him instead to calm down.

Ryuuji felt his wife cling to his side and he smiled down at her and he rubbed her side. "It is okay I got you babe~" He gently leaned over a bit and kissed her cheeks this time to be a bit silly and try to help her get her mind off of the crowd. He knows since what happened she is a bit hesitant of crowds and people being super loud which is why he only went to the guild hall with her during times his mirrors showed him that the members were spread out enough or were not being rowdy.
Sat Sep 02, 2023 4:45 pm
A few minutes later, the shop would open. A woman stepped out and placed a stopper on the door before looking onto the crowd. “Sorry about the wait guys, but we are ready to go now! We can take the first five people.” She walked back inside to dash behind the counter and the couple entered. The smell of sweets and cakes were rich and strong. Kaori would look at all the displays while Ryuuji would order the cookie cakes. She liked a lot of their designs and kept them in mind if she ever got the chance to bake for her husband. She also insisted they get milk with the cakes, it would help with enjoying them.
The two left and started to walk away, getting Kaori away from the crowd. She sighed in relief when it was just the two again. They walked a bit away to the nearest park. Kaori never letting go of Ryuuji’s hand. She was more awake than she was before and so she was walking gracefully once more.
The two found a nice spot and Kaori began to set up.
Sun Sep 03, 2023 12:05 pm
He got the order in and he saw the woman watching his wife closely with a small giggle from the woman as she seemed to see how excited the fae woman had been to be here and at the things that were made for them and Ryuuji happily pays for the cookie type cakes and he feels her return to his side and he walked with her. "Seems my sweet knows the way huh?" He can feel her leading him a bit and he can feel her excitement and happiness from just being close to her plus knowing her for years helped with that as well. They had gotten to the park and he looked around then saw her spring into action and get to setting up. He laughed softly and with a playful voice. "It is almost like you are the one that was taking me on a date~"

When Kaori stepped to a spot by the flowers she enjoyed, she knelt to the ground. Touching the grass as she tried to get to work. It took many tries and several instances of her vines falling away and failing. She had to pause a few times to take a deep breath and relax so she could try again. Looking up to her husband with a pout and worry on her face. She know she’s managed it before. So she just had to do it again.
After a deep sigh, she plucked one of the more prettier flowers in the bunch and held it to her face. Smelling the fragrance and using it to help her relax, as now she’s lost from the beauty of the flower and not of her failures. It was then in her clear minded state, where she was no longer over thinking, did the vines come too and create the couple a decently sized love seat. One they both could comfortably share.
When Kaori saw what she created, she was genuinely surprised. The shock didn’t show on her face but it did in her eyes. It was eclipsed by the triumph that quickly took over her, as now she could proudly show her husband what she’s been practicing at last.
She raised her hands to him so that he would be kind enough to help her up.

"I think for your hard work you deserve a reward~" He reached into his box and pull out one of the cookies and he holds it close to her mouth. "Say ahh~" When she does as he asked of her he feeds her with a smirk on his face which was a bit red. Other people in the park had stopped to look at the love birds some hurrying away as it was none of their business and other women looked at the man they were with, with puffed cheeks wishing their guy was more caring.
Thu Sep 07, 2023 4:09 pm
Kaori reeeeally enjoyed the sweets more than she thought she would. And when she figured no one was looking she’d dart to take another bite. Eager to get another mouthful.
She wasn’t always like this, she was actually usually quite poised and graceful, but she enjoyed letting go to those habits when she was around Ryuuji, knowing that despite it all he would still love her. She wanted to lean into that love, let it help her blossom.
And as she would think those thoughts of the one she loves most, flowers would sprout and bloom around the pair without her noticing.

He spoke teasingly and he takes one out for himself and he tasted it and he can tell in one bite that they were indeed worth the cost. He kept an eye on Kaori and he was happy that she was able to let herself be a bit more free out here instead of that stuffy village that pretty much kept her chained to a role.

”Did you have more planned for us today Ryuuji? I feel there is so much to see here. If feels so weird being outside of my village sometimes, its hard to believe that there is so much to the world that I never knew. Did you travel before you met me?” There was only so much she could remember after all. The notion that they met as kids escapes her.

His words and suggestions of his next plan shook her from her thoughts. The idea of being in a forest was a pleasing one indeed. "There's a forest nearby Ryuuji? And you already know the way? You really do think of everything!"
Her enthusiasm was genuine, there was so many new things happening that it feels like such a shock to her. New home, new being, new marriage, new life. She could hardly bare with it but being in the forest would be a great way to ground her. A great way to build calm. Make this place her home and get a bit more familiarity and exciting changes. She was indeed very happy with this idea.
Claping her hands as a display of joy as she gently rocked in her seat. She leaned in and gave Ryuuji a kiss for his newest act of consideration. Figuring he knew to plan this because it would help ease her.

Ryuuji snapped out of his thoughts and he hopped down with her and he held her hand as he was going to take her to see the nearby forest and what it might hide that they could collect for either money or for food as well as to just keep so that they could remember this trip by it but he was worried that it was still not a good enough thing to be taking her on. "Lets do our best and stay out of trouble and if we get split up you stay still and I will come and find you." He kissed the back of her head with a smile.

And that he did. The walked straight down the block for a while, Kaori admiring the houses and homes in their passing. Making notes of the best and most beautiful yards. Often it was the ones the most “unkept” as she hated when things were to orderly and perfect. It took the beauty out of nature she thought and that was something she didn’t want to be reminded. She hardly noticed how hard she gripped his hand whenever the thought came to mind. But she would turn away to spare herself.
It was a bit of a walk before the made it for the forests, but that didn’t bother her. Even when they entered, she found herself taking off her shoes so that she could feel the grass to her skin and take in the luscious foliage. It was like she was shopping for a new kimono, the light that danced in her eyes.

"Is there something on your mind my sweet cherry blossom?" His voice is sweet and filled with love for her and he hopes that if she is feeling danger or something that she will let him know and he rubbed her back making and small mirror on her back so if something happens that he can protect her.
