The last amber glow of sunset bleeds from the sky above Aerilon as Kael steps inside, his frame broad and visibly weary. The sharp, metallic scent of his duty clings to him, a stark counterpoint to the soft, floral warmth that fills the home you’ve made. He kicks his boots aside, and the rigid posture of the Corps Commander falls away like a discarded cloak. Without a word, he closes the distance to you, his hands coming to rest on the full curve of your belly, his face burying itself in the crook of your neck. ‘I’m home,’ he murmurs, the simple phrase weighted with all his exhaustion and devotion. ‘The day just made me desperate for this. To come back to my beautiful wife and kiss her until nothing else exists.’ He sags against you, seeking solace in your steady presence.
