Ronan chuckled as she snuggled closer and drifted off to sleep. "Will do" he said softly and kissed her cheek. He sighed happily and drifted off to sleep as well. Content with his love by his side. Even if the floor was still hard.

Ronan woke as morning's rays came through the wagon window. He yawned and stretched and smiled as he saw Rhea sleeping soundly beside him. A sweet smile on her face. He didn't want to wake her up. He sighed slightly. He then leaned down and gently kissed her cheek and then he kissed along her jawline and played with her ear with his lips. Smiling as he watched her.

Rhea rolled over in her sleep and murmured something almost inaudible. Finally Rhea felt rays of sunlight stream onto her face and she opened her eyes to find Ronan looking at her.
Rhea smiled,
"Morning Ro," Rhea smiled stretching slightly but not making any attempt to get up, she just stared up at Ronan with a sweet smile.

"Morning" he said softly "sleep good?" he chuckled and shifted on the hard wagon floor. He smiled remembering their early morning wrestle, it had been a fun way to be a little rougher but still loving. Showing both of them that they didn't have to walk on eggshells around the other.

Rhea rubbed her eyes and looked up at Ronan again,
"Ya, What about you?" Rhea asked sweetly, sitting up and strecthing again.

Ronan smiled "Alot better with you beside me" he gently stroked her hair and gave her a light kiss on the cheek. "Although," he chuckled.." the floor is hard" he laughed

Rhea laughed, "Yes it is,"
Rhea blushed when Ronan kissed her on the check and then grinned at him,
"Whats for breakfast?"

"Hmm...well..what would you like?" he asked with a smile. "I have everything from fresh fruit, to some eggs I traded from Vandecar, to bread from a nearby town. Hey..have you ever had french toast, some strawberries on top..with..hmm" he looked around "bacon on the side?"

"What's french toast?" Rhea asked and then laughed, "I guess that answers your question,"

Ronan chuckled and gave her a quick kiss. "I'll be right outside" he laughed and got up to go outside. He realized he wasn't wearing a shirt. He coughed and hopped back into the wagon and blushed pulling on his shirt before going out again. He started a fire, and got out his skillets and started making french toast and bacon. The smells wafting towards the wagon.

Rhea laughed when Ronan left and then entered again to grab a shirt. Rhea stood up and smoothed her clothes and fixed her hair, running her fingers through. The smell of the french toast began to waft towards the wagon and Rhea took in the scent. Rhea's stomach rumbled and Rhea laughed pulling the door open and hoping out side.
"Smells amazing," Rhea said to Ronan and then called Zaric outside.
The grumpy red fox wandered outside and looked up at Rhea slowly,
~Did you have to wake me?~ Zaric asked, Rhea chuckled and cuddles Zaric.

Ronan chuckled "Good, haven't made it in a long time" he flipped over the last few pieces and pulled out two wooden plates that he had carved himself. They had carved flowers and ferns in the edges. He blushed slightly and served up a plate putting fresh cut strawberries on top and giving it to Rhea. He smiled and served himself up. He got her a fork and came and sat down holding his own fork. He looked at her and then the food expectantly.

Rhea sat down with her plate and fork and smiled, taking a bite.
"This is really good," Rhea smiled, Zaric sniffed at the food and sighed,
~Bread~ Zaric scoffed, and Rhea rolled her eyes at him.

Ronan bowed slightly "Thank you" he smiled and he looked at the fox. "Here what do you think of this?" he tossed him a piece of more darkly cooked bacon.

Zaric swallowed the piece of bacon whole and rubbed against Ronan's legs,
"I don't think he could get any more rude," Rhea muttered, Zaric looked up at her and chuckled slightly,
~Hey, It would be rude not to eat it~ Zaric stated,

Ronan and petted the fox. "Typical fox" he grinned. "Here try this" Ronan cut off a little piece of his french toast and offered it to the fox. It smelled sweet and buttery.

"Ronan..." Rhea warned and Zaric took the toast from his hand, "You know he's not going to eat it,"
Zaric started at the toast debating whether to eat it or not. Finally he licked the toast and looked up at Rhea,
~Not as nice as the Bacon,~ Zaric said,
~To you,~ RHea smiled, ~Will you eat it? I don't want it going to waste,~
Zaric paused as he looked and Rhea and growled a little before swallowing the toast too.
~Thank you,~ RHea smiled,
~Yeah yeah~ Zaric grumbled lying down by her feet.
Rhea chuckled,
"I feel like i'm always having to apoligize about his behaviour," Rhea sighed,
~'Cause you are~ Zaric grumbled and Rhea laughed.

Ronan looked up guilitly "Sorry..bad habit" he laughed "I would always feed the stray dogs that followed our wagons. Mother cuffed me a few times for it" he laughed again. "See? he ate it" he smiled and took another bite. "Nah don't worry bout it. He's a fox, they are thier own creatures. Do you see me apologizing for Tasha?" he laughed

Malek trudged up to the small building, looking at the ground.
~You'll be alright, Mal. She'll be back.~
~I know...~ He sighed and knocked on the door slightly, hoping he wasn't interupting anything.

Rhea laughed,
"He only ate it 'cause I told him to, Now he's grumpy," Rhea laughed,
~Don't laugh at me,~ Zaric growled,
"Oh calm down," Rhea whispered, and tunred back to Ronan, "Ya Zaric's his own creature," Rhea chuckled.

Ronan chuckled "Oh" he laughed. "Here" he threw him another half a peice of bacon. He grinned and then looked over at the shop. "HI!" he called "we're over here. Want some breakfast? I got a extra peice or two" he said in a friendly manner.

Malek looked over and smiled.
"Hey sorry am I interupting something?" He asked, walking over to where Rhea and Ronan were.

Rhea looked over to the building and saw Malek,
"Mal!" Rhea smiled jumping up to ive him a friendly hug before sitting back down. "No you're not,"
Zaric ate the bacon and and sat down next to Ronan,
~I think i'm beginning to like him more then you Rhe~ Zaric chuckled,
"Cruel cruel animal," Rhea muttered to him and then laughed,
"How have you been Mal?"

Ronan smiled and shook his head "Nope, we were just eating breakfast. Here ya go" he said as he gave him a plate of french toast and bacon and strawberries. How you been?" He smiled down at the fox and gave him a scratch behind the ears.

He hugged Rhea back and sat down, gladly taking the plate.
"Thanks, Ronan. I've been...alright." He took a bite of a strawberry.
"Arya just left for a few weeks..." He said sadly, after swallowing.
