"See, no harm done." Firm nod!

A smile

"Though we might need to have a chat with her about be-purpling without permission."

"I guess, it is just temporary though." Nessa is very easy going!

A chuckle "I can talk to her about it if you like. she's my d..." A blink "She's my lover's daughter. My charge"

He does not say it with ire, but responsiblity

"See? Boat, Morth."

"...Boat?" Curious.

"I suppose so" He admits "I am ... surprised at how fast my life moves in ways I didn't expect" He looks at Nessa, "It appears we're both becoming somewhat.. parental, the baroness and I"

"And... you're buying a boat? " They're pretty landlocked.. the centaur looks puzzled.

"We're in the same boat."

"With wards."

"Oh!" A delicate blush. "I understand now."

"How are your folks doing Nessa? Your mother seems to enjoy the wide patrols, that much I know"

"She does! And Dad is back on the wilderness trail hikes. He's a little worried about the new variants cutting down on signups, but with the outdoor setting, his work should be pretty secure."

"That's great!"

"It's so lovely out there with the wildflowers in full summer bloom..." A happy sigh.

"Flowers are nice I suppose. Never really understood why women adore them that much but, I still carry some in apology when I've angered my lady. I wonder if that's it? some sort of sacrifice to the altar of romance? "

"Flowers are... ephemeral. They burst in color and beauty, but they are fragile - a few days of brilliance to experience, before they fade."

"I'm not much of a fan of cut flowers. But when they are blooming in the wild, and teeming with bees and butterflies, and a soft breeze blowing through your mane..."

"The glory is in the moment."

A soft sigh and she nods at Nessa's words.

"You two should check out the summer flowers together I think. Patrol or whatever"

"I was planning on a run later, in the secluded southeast trails by the riverbed. Um. Would you like to join me? I can keep watch on the ground to ensure that no one is watching if you'd like to fly..."

And a faint color to her cheeks as Morth suggests the same idea.

"I... I might be able to keep up, if I flew." Shy smile.

"Oh, I'd not leave you behind!" She is quick to reassure!

Morthwyl smiles, then checks the time "Alas, I must leave you both behind. I have promised Felicity and Irene a trip to the zoo"

"Try to keep her from turning any animals violet!"

"Oh good lord, I hadn't thought of that" His eyes widen , and he gives a hasty bow "Your pardon I really should nip THAT in the bud" And he goes

Leaving the two to discuss sharing a run
