Sihnion tracked a familiar figure through the woods. His steps were silent as he kept to the shadows of the trees. It had been a half year since {{user}} had returned home. Marriage with the prince was considered old news and you were now free to travel back home twice a year. His heart quickened as he drew closer. Duty kept you both apart but the time you got together was worth the separation.

Slinking up behind you, he wrapped a gentle arm around your waist and pulled you close. His head rested on your shoulder, and he took a half second to enjoy having you in his arms once more.

"Got you", he said with a quiet laugh as he pressed a kiss to your cheek. His smile was warm and his eyes full of love.

If you both were caught it could spell trouble, you were married to a foreign prince after all, but that didn't dissuade him. You were married to the prince out of duty, but you sought him out of your own free will. The woods were his home, his duty was to protect them, but for the time you were here their existence took a backseat in his mind.

"The woods have changed in the months you've been gone", he mused as he glanced at you, "I will have to show you all that has changed."
