Kayalos entered the small abandoned house that he and his new wife resided in. The paladin returned with his catch of the day, barbed gill trout. Orlaith stood by the campfire in their cabin, poking the fire. He put his fish beside the fire, and walked up to her and stole a long, savory kiss from the ruby lips of his night elf female.
"Oh, I think we'll definitely stay together if you keep kissing me like that," she smiled warmly at her husband. Amuuru had met the two outside of Thunder Bluff, where she married them in the name of the Earth Mother, and blessed the marriage herself. Orlaith had tailored her own wedding dress in a few days, which was very plain, but very flattering. Akken attended their marriage on one of the high hills, and he congratulated his brother. Amuuru kissed her new daughter-in-law on the cheek, and presented her with an old necklace that belonged to Kay's mother. Of course the priestess cried when she received it, and she held the shaman tight. She prayed someday that the old shaman and her family could meet.
The priestess fingered the Ashen Band of Endless Might, which she wore around her neck as a wedding band. Her paladin husband helped her make the bed, as they got ready for another night together.
"So," his eyes flickered with fire, "are we going to have another sleepless night tonight?" The priestess giggled.
"Maybe, but we need to make sure I'm not running out of that potion Akken made to keep me from getting with child." The paladin scoffed.
"So what if you do," he smiled, laying down on the bed, and streched his arms behind his head. "But if you're not ready I'm okay with waiting." The priestess smiled as she joined him, resting her head on his strong chest.
"It's not that I'm not ready," she ran her fingers in a circle on his abs, "it's that we should wait a little, and see where we can find a place to settle down for a few years. A baby will need a least one year of us in one place." The paladin nodded.
"Azeroth also needs to be ready to let us live on our own."
"Live and let live is a hard lesson to learn," the priestess said slowly. "But there's already a start. Akken, Kaliden, Amuuru, and my Mom and Dad."
"But for now," he turned to his side, propped his head up with his arm, and put his free hand on her thigh, "I have you. And that's all I need." She smiled.
"I'm forever yours, Kay," she rolled her finger over his smooth and strong chin.
"I'll always protect and love you, Orlaith," he lowered his lips over hers, and let happiness take hold of his heart. All they needed was time, for their pure love could conquer whatever else was waiting for them.
