" I worry why not, Edwie? You can get your sexy self here, so we can go on this very date that will certainly blow your mind off with the other things you have on your plate for the day... "

Quen speaks with an unmistakable air of confidence oozing out through his voice.

When Elffy tries to open her mouth—and then can't figure out what she was going to say. She bites her lips distractedly as she slowly slides to her left to let her head function accordingly. 'Geese! He's too forward' mumbles to herself.

Without her knowing Elffy swans and crowns herself to grab her mini tortoise purse from the nightstand nearby her bed and heads out of the bedroom, thereby leaving a perplexed Quen in her room.

" Wait! The day doesn't end yet, my love. Save your breath all you want. In the end, you need more than usual. " Quen speaks behind her back as he walks beside her shoulder. Hearing him, Edwie steals a glance at him.

Quentin's face was quite simply on dotted perfection. It took only a moment for elffy— to realize that he put all the sculptures of warriors to shame. His eyes were though oddly intense— so blue they practically glowed. His hair was thick and golden blonde and he seemed oddly an inch buff and taller— which made her crane her neck up a little bit, which was a rare thing.

Elves don't age or grow up within a day, if not they inhaled, er, and tasted the deadly spells willingly. Those spells contain equal powers compared to the sacredness. And lastly puts the fellow under the consequences of drowning. All the while Elffy is worried about how he got into this, Quen nudges her out of the river.

Remembering his last comment Edwie taunts Quen with a knowing smile,

" You do realize that you just set the place incredibly high and I'm now expecting a chariot with air horses to be waiting for me outside, don't you? " Elffy commented, as she tightened her lips to keep her smile off of her face as she rounded the corner and passed the kitchen with Quen tagging along her back, contemplating his next words.

Edwie saw Willow and his friends on her way through the narrow pavement adorned with climbers and flowers who were busy mopping the ground like hyper kids in search of their treats, which is the accidental fall of leaves, and dust and flowers in the narrowed Waterford. If he isn't summoned by Elffy, Willow would carry on his job to tidy the nest with his friends with their appearances differing in color.

Willow looks like a goblet of crystal, as his friends adore it in varied forms with different colors. Sensing the mere presence, Willow whooshes toward Elffy as she walks past the shimmering falls to give a thumbs-up gesture to Elffy's dolled-up state. Elffy smiled back and blew Willow a kiss before opening the front door, and gawked at the unfamiliar scene sitting in front of her nest.

A huge tortoise with its shell covered with silky multicolored robes, a gigantic cup, and saucer with a spoon, air horses with a sled connected to it, and a couple of white swans. On the contrary, Quen walked ahead of her and bowed like a gentleman.

" Your rides on board, my lady. " Hearing him, Elffy blushed pink. But a sudden thought made her blush to vanish in a blink.

" Aww... What should I pick? A Chariot or White stallion? Seems to me that this day is already starting to get pretty tricky, my love! '' Elffy teased Quen as he walked her way with a perfect smirk on his lips. When his frame approached her bubble, Quen immediately wrapped his large hand around her waist and pulled her into his chest.

This caught Elffy into a hazy trail as she stood numb and astound at his antics. Their bodies have collided so close that cause their heat to be exchanged.

" Maybe we should cut our chits and just go to my parents. " He says tauntingly and leans close to her ear and whispers

" If you don't mind, before that, I'd like to take you somewhere else now. " he breaths out making her skin shiver at his hotness.

" Um, okay. But this had better not be a ploy to get me to go on a date with you."

" Not at all, " he says, making Elffy's stomach unknot itself. Taking his chance for yet another reason, Quen leans close to her ear and whispers,

" It's so much better than that. " With that said, he walks past her and stands before the tortoiseshell and pats its head lovingly.

Rewinding his words, Elffy smiled at his thrilling ideas to surprise her even more.

" You gave up so easily! I thought you like to be challenged. " Edwie asked with her voice low and seductive as her hand traveled up to rest on his firm muscles underneath his crisp, dark black, full-handed shirt.

Hearing her words, his eyes sparkled with mischief as he drew his face close to her, inch by inch.

" You know I do. You're a shining example of that, Edwie. " Quen spoke, with his deep voice seeming huskier with the passing seconds, as his lips reined in closer to Elffy with each passing word.

Yet, before his lips graced her, Quen pulled back with a lopsided smile.

" I think we have ourselves a peeping rabbit from the hole." The moment he said it Elffy was sure and knew who he was talking about. Elffy spun on her wooden heel, sure to keep herself planted directly in front of Quen, and faced her home nest.

Sure enough, Inès's dirty blonde head came into view beside her front lawn mower—the grass eaters.

When Elffy's silver orbs meet her emerald, it gets widened considerably at being caught and duck out of their view. Seeing her antics, Elffy chuckles to herself and turns back to face an amused Quen, who's still staring at the frontier lines.

" Sorry, she's a bit... Curious, as to whom I am going out with. " Elffy says sheepishly, running her hands through her curly silver locks. Seeing her nervous twitch, Quen's hands reach up and grab hers and place a kiss on her inner palms, thus making Elffy suck in a breath.

" She's fine, my love. Plus in a few days, it won't be as big of a deal after I make you officially mine. So as long as she can keep our little secret—" Saying, he brushes his knuckles on her chin, caressing her softness longer than usual.

"Who says you're gonna make me yours in a few days? Elffy teased him, as he picked her small form in his arm, and before he placed her on the turtle's shell adored with dual comfy cushions, Quen paused mid-way for a minute, finding Elffy's words questionable to his actions.

Without any word, he spun her over his chest and cradled in her neckline with his lips tracing open-mouth kisses. Once he knew her whole attention is on him, Quen nibbles on her neck's nape line for a little bit thereby embedding his ocean blue orbs in her silver gaze and says

" Trust me. Now that I got you, I don't plan on letting you go. '' His words screamed finality. And thus made Elffy's heart melt on the spot. And she knew that she was in for an unforgettable evening with the most incredible man that ever existed in this universe. Out of curiosity, she asked away,

" Where are we going? " To which he replied with a forward nod— explains his unsaid words,' you'll see.'

But Quen said to her one thing that it was an exquisite site to behold. Hearing him, Elffy's stomach lurched in excitement, and the thought of indulging in some delicious sight of chocolates infused a fire underneath her tasting buds. Once she is in the shell she immediately Crouches down and spreads her arms wide to keep her balance though the cushion is silky smooth making her balance off.

Quen on the contrary, using his air spirit, rises from the ground and sits on the cushion with his legs crossed. With a quick command from Quen, the tortoise steers them between the branches and goes higher and higher.

And then, with a burst of speed that causes her to fall on her butt, makes them shoot out above the highest branches of the forest revealing the widespread golden sky which glows above the soil. Below them, the thousands of trees that make up the Elffenda extend in every direction.

Swinging out into the lushness of traveling in their ancient pathway —the airline is beautiful here, with the reds, golds, and oranges of the shining sun peeping through the branches covered in the cloudy air.

Right now, all Edwie could do is to stare in wonder, as she heard Quentin's husky voice close to her ear.

" Wow! The beauty is astonishing. And, I keep wondering what I love most about this alluring view. Various things like the silverine glistening orbs, or the narrow lines in it, or the blushy hues below the narrow line, or the entire body which explains your whole beauty."

" Yes, that's how I feel. I don't need anything more for this day than this——wait what? " Elffy feels speechless as she turns to face him, but the latter seems already gazing at her with an unfamiliar look. Staring on, Quen says,

" Maybe just this, might do," and presents me with a small silk-wrapped package.

Slowly getting the present, Elffy unties the silver string and holds the bundle in her hand as the silk layers fall away. Lying in the center were the tears of daisy petals, which was an unimaginable thing to collect from, if not from the forbidden territories.

Those tears of daisy petals were fashioned into a drop neck pendant, lying neatly around the pendant, and were held together on either end with silver beads. The loose ends that connect the silver lining of the drop neck pendant each hold a small crystal attached to the ends.

" I forgot to give this to you earlier. On my return to Elffenda, I visited one of those fairs with all the latest versions of fashion boutiques and priceless jewels and felt intrigued with this little piece of work by a dwarf. With the looks, you knew that it's an enchantment, but it's a hidden locker for your spirit.

Whenever someone tries to get a hold of you against your will, the spirit inside the lock will help you under circumstances. No more, just your needs and other things." Saying he takes it from my hand and fastens it around my neckline as the silver beads and the crystal ball sparkle where the light catches them.

" I should probably be mad at you to risk consequences on buying suchness from the dwarf for me," Edwie says and beams at him with a siren smile thereby stealing his heart away without his knowledge.

" But it's so beautiful and priceless that I forgive you for your adamant attitude." And press a chaste kiss on his cheek, making his ear blush plum.
