Irial looked at the room in amazement. He'd never been in here before, and he was surprised at how beautiful and to his liking it was. "It's incredible," he breathed, walking in further and turning around in circles. "And it smells just like home."

His heart swelled when he realized that he felt exactly like he was home. And Caitlin was with him. It was nearly perfect. If only his best friend was here with him as well. Travis...he wondered where the boy had gotten off to. He hadn't seen him since the train, and even then, the boy seemed wary of something when he mentioned Caitlin's name.

Irial was none the wiser though, firmly believing both of them had stayed true to him. He loved them both with all his heart, and neither hell nor high water was going to keep him from the ones he loved.

Turning back to Caitlin, he beckoned her into his arms. "Now that we've got some privacy," he paused, pressing another kiss to her forehead. "What is it that you want to tell me?"
