Leo was standing over the stove, cooking a nice breakfast of french toast for Tempest when he heard the faint sounds of her moving through the apartment and paused and tilted his head to the side to see if he could pin point her exact location. It took a second but a squeaky floorboard in the hall gave her away as s he made her way into the livingroom.

Turning to see what she was up too, he blinked and looked over her outfit. She was wearing a nice teal and black striped sweater and a matching ankle length skirt that had ruffles around the hem. It wasn't exactly what he would have pictured for a job interview, but he supposed that she must have her reasons for wearing it.

There was only the faintest traces of makeup on her face. A nice soft peach/pink color and matching lipstick. And he could smell her...

She had the most wonderful floral scent he'd ever smelt before. He couldn't place it. But it reminded him of the time he and the rest of his family had been hiding out in the country at April's family farm.

There had been flowers there that had smelt so nice that he would sometimes sneak off just so he could train in the area close to them. He had even debated on taking a few blossoms home with him when they left the farm, but he had never actually done it.

It would have given Raph just one more thing to make fun of him for.

"Mm, I smell something nice." Tempest said as she walked up to him and stopped next to him and wrapped her arms around him. Leo smiled and wrapped his arms around her smaller body and mused at how affectionate his mate was with him.

"I smell something nice too. What sort of perfume is that?"

"Sunflowers. I also have one in Honeysuckle, and another in Jasmine."

"Which one is your favorite?"

"All of them. But today I feel like a sunflower girl."

Leo made a humming sound and kissed the top of her head before asking, "When do you go for the job interview?"

"I have another hour and twenty minutes."

"Good." He said as he released her and then placed his hands on her shoulders and forcibly turned her around so that she was facing the small area that they had made into a dining room and gave her a small push in that direction as he said, "You haven't eaten in several days. So today before you leave, you're eating something or I'm calling my family over to help me bully you into eating something."

Tempest laughed softly, but made her way over to the kitchen table as he had bid her too. She wasn't about to argue with the guy feeding her, escpecially when she was so hungry. She really needed to retrain herself not to skip meals, but with her sudden marriage and move to another part of the city so that she could go into hiding from the Foot- Well, she'd been feeling just a bit too stressed to bother eating anything.

Still...

She understood Leo's concerns. After all, if she continued to skip out on meals she might collapse and end up in a situation where the Foot could find her easily. And that absolutely would not do.

Something was placed in front of her, jolting her out of her thoughts and caused her to jerk and react like her uncle had trained her too. She was going to elbob whoever was leaning into her personal space when she recalled that the only people in the apartment were herself and Leo. But by then it was too late to stop herself, luckily for her, her new husband had much quicker reflexes and caught her arm effortlessly in one hand and looked at her with a frown as she stared back at him and paled.

"Tempest?"

"Oh god Leo, I'm sorry!"

"S'okay." Leo said easily as he placed a glass of juice and a fork and knife on the table beside her then backed off and pulled out the seat next to hers and dropped himself down into it with a thoughtful look on his face before asking. "What were you thinking about? You looked like you were a million miles away."

"I was thinking about the Foot Clan and the trouble they could cause us."

"Are you worried?"

"Yes. But not about myself. At least...I'm not as worried about myself as I should be." Leo gave her a humorless smile and reached out and wound a strand of her hair around one finger and tugged on it slightly before saying seriously.

"I won't let them near you Tempest. So put them from your mind."

Tempest looked at him and grappled with words for a second before slowly nodding her head and picking up her fork and knife and started eating while he sat there and watched.
