Her sleep was dreamless - no, that wasn't entirely true. It wasn't dreamless, for they were centered around one person and one person alone. Of course, that person being the one who was currently lying under her, being used as her personal bed. Hopefully he was comfortable. She had shifted a little in her sleep so she wasn't completely on top of him though.

Though as she came to start waking up, the events of the previous evening started filtering into her memory. The warmth of his body pressed against hers, the feel of his arms around her..what they did, and how.. oh and the fact that their clothing was still flung on the floor from their haste. WELL. She felt mighty embarrassed about that.

..she needed to get her clothing and dress - would she be able to slip free of Fang's arms? Well there's Cui too, who was contentedly sleeping on Tiara's back. It was like she was sandwiched in!

"Oh.. that isn't so surprising. We are partners after all - you and Ery-" She stopped short with a surprised blink. HE DID THAT ON PURPOSE.

The innkeeper's grin nearly split her face in half, "Good morning. You almost missed breakfast - there's still quite a bit left though." Those two looked so cute to her. Though she couldn't help but wonder how it was that they took so long for them to get together when she had seen from the first day they checked in that they were perfect for each other~!

"Well then it's a good thing I worked up one hell of an appetite." Nop totally not caring how that makes it sound given recent events. Of course he didn't speak up in that regard for Tiara either.

Fang... do you not realize how embarrassing those statements are? Especially for people who might have...heard them? From the loud laughter a few tables away, either those gents DID catch that remark or they were laughing at something else entirely.

The innkeeper chuckled, "Mm, I had a feeling you might have." Though she knew he's always had a big appetite, she anticipated him wanting to eat even more today. "And you, milady? Are you as ravenous as he?"

"Certainly not!" Tiara answered quickly. "...although I won't turn down a sufficient portion for myself and Cui." She was pretty hungry, now that they were down here and smelling all the good smells.

The inkeep chuckled, "Sit tight kids, I'll get some food put together for you. You can eat to stay or take it back into your room."

Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. Who could ever tell. That being said he wasn't flustered or phased in the least. Which made Tiara's reactions all the more entertaining as he scooped Cui up into his arms to scratch at his chin with a grin as Tiara made the call for their meal with the Inn keep.

Darnit Fang. How could he just stand there so calmly when implications ...accurate ones mind...were flying about? Still, Cui was perfectly happy to wiggle into Fang's arms with a purr at the scratches. Tiara glanced at the pair of them, and couldn't help but smile. Cui looked happier than he's been in a while - not saying he hasn't been happy but he was clearly delighted that Tiara and Fang were together.

"Here you are, dears," the innkeeper announced, hefting out two trays --with some difficulty. "Since it's almost time for the lunch rush I wrapped up some lunches up for the two of you as well."

Tiara gave the woman a surprised, appreciative smile, "Why, that was very considerate of you, thank you." She stepped forward, and since Fang had Cui, she meant to take the trays. Oofing softly from the weight - jeez how much food did that woman give Fang anyway? "Fang, come and take this. I'll take Cui." Quit playing with the fluffy animal, this is heavy ;o;. ..this may be an exaggeration and she just wants to boss him around for fun, of course.

Very very easily. He felt he had nothing to be ashamed of. His feelings for Tiara were utterly genuine and not a fleeting thing so what they'd done had been with all of their heart put into it. That and having Cui squirm and coo in his arms at the spoiling he was being given was also far too entertaining to care about people whose names he didn't even know.

That of course had to come to an end though as Tiara was handed the food laden trays. Fang oh so reluctantly let the fairy hop out of his arms.

"Okay okay milady. Wouldn't want you to strain yourself so soon." Okay that had to be deliberate just now. Well regardless he did take the trays from her. Which in turn meant he had immunity from Tiara's impulse to shove at him for being shameless. WIN WIN!

Cui hopped up onto Tiara's shoulders and wrapped around her neck happily like a little scarf as Tiara pushed the trays into Fang's arms. The look she gave him said she would have loved to shove him for that cheeky remark. "You're really asking for it," she murmured under her breath to him as she lead the way back up the stairs. "Don't spill a drop now."

"I wonder if you really know what I'm asking for~" Fang shot back, mischief and playfulness filling his tone as he effortlessly and perfectly carried the tray back up the stairs behind Tiara, a ghost of a smile directed at her back while they chatted away.

Tiara smiled absently at the playful tone in his voice, "Didn't you already say back in the room?" Wanting to hold her in his arms - that's what he wanted, right?

Cui shifted on her shoulder so that he could watch Fang intently as she made her way to their room, opening and holding the door for him in a moment of rare courtesy.

"I did. I was just making sure you remembered~" Fang said with a slight shrug of his shoulders which still didn't spill so much as a drop onto the tray that was loaded with a veritable feast for two.

"I haven't forgotten." Tiara insisted, a soft blush on her cheeks. "As for the trays.." Should they put them down on the unused side of the bed? Or maybe they should pull over the spare table. Once she was comfortably snuggled in his arms, she could put the tray in her lap and feed Cui, and he could have his tray to the side of him.. hrm.

Seeing that rosy color on her cheeks made him want to kiss her again but he kept it in for now not wanting to give her the opportunity to criticize him for slacking on the job of carrying their food.

"Good then~ Now why don't we pull the table over to the bed so we can get comfy while we eat? " Oh maybe he could even steal a bit from Tiara's fork? Since that was the closest he'd get to her actually feeding him herself.

Restraint, Fang, restraint! Though.. they've both had quite a lot of restraint in the past weeks they hadn't admitted their feelings for each other huh? "Down Cui, please," Tiara glanced at her fairy, who nimbly hopped onto the bed and curled up on the corner to wait for snacks.

Tiara pulled the table over as suggested, glancing over at Fang, "That should be room enough, You can set it down now." And then he'd have to settle on the bed before she could join him. And no stealing food off her fork! He has plenty of his own! ..well that's what her scolding response would be.

Precisely. They had been keeping it in all that time. So he could clearly be excused for being a little over eager. Oh well they would work things out surely. Same way they always have.

"Gotcha!" Fang said and quickly but smoothly set the tray down before he quickly took his seat on the side of the bed and waited happily for Tiara to join him.

She certainly wasn't going to scold him .....well, not scold him and /mean/ it. Some might say she was just as eager to be affectionate with him - she just tried to keep herself more on track because it was really, REALLY easy to do nothing but be with him. Especially when they didn't have work waiting.

Once Fang was settled, Tiara smiled, tickled pink to see how happy he was, and promptly stepped forward to join him, claiming her seat at his side.

And what was wrong with doing what they wanted when they had the opportunity? No one had any say about that honestly and Cui clearly supported it.

As soon as she took her seat, Fang shuffled his side a little closer to hers before turning his eyes to the food.

"Now then lets see what we start with~"

Nothing at all! Though if anyone had made any comments about the noise they made last night Tiara would have been hiding her face in clear embarrassment. . . not that it would have done anything to make her quieter.

"It all looks good," Tiara smiled, shifting over herself until she was close enough to feel Fang next to her. "Though it doesn't hold a candle to Bahus, or even the innkeeper back home.

Plenty of sausage and bacon, some fried eggs, ham and potatoes, biscuits with butter all were piled high on Fang's breakfast tray. Tiara's had similar, though in smaller portions, and she had a small bowl of fruit to go with it. Cui even had bowl of fruit of his own~!

So it was honestly pointless to worry about it. Not like they could change the past. Nor would they really want to. A bit of embarrassment from people who would likely not be around this inn or even the town by the end of the week was utterly worthless.

"Bahus is a god of cooking. So it's not fair to compare most people to him." Fang agreed with a solemn nod. Man he missed that big guy. Not enough to want to go back without Tiara though. Oh no no no.

"Well lookie here Cui you got your share too!" Fang pointed out, picking up the bowl and putting it in front of the fairy.

Tiara considered that and nodded. "Well, I suppose that is true...oh!" She almost forgot! And she moved away for a moment to retrieve her network device. She knew full well the moment they finished breakfast she had committed herself to relaxing (kinda) in his arms and once he had her in them she wouldn't be able to bring herself to pull away again.

Assuming he didn't just keep her 'trapped' the whole time. Something she really wouldn't mind. In any case, she glanced up when he addressed Cui, and grinned when the little fairy's eyes lit up. "Cu-cuiiiiiiii!" He happily bounded over to his bowl.

Fang allowed her that much though he could have easily snared her with one arm to prevent the light workaholic from taking care of that during mealtime.

That being said it just meant he was free to give his full attention to Cui who was so adorably excited about the fruit he couldn't help but chuckle lightly.

"You have gotta be the cutest fairy there is you know~"

Still could, technically, if she ended up paying more attention to it than him. Like an attention hungry kitty or puppy. Not that Tiara would EVER make that comparison to him out loud. Probably.

She giggled at Fang fawning over Cui, and rightly so! Cui -was- the cutest little fairy out there, no questions asked. "You aren't attempting to charm him to -your- side are you?" She teased as she made her way back to sit on the bed with him. "It won't work."

He would likely deny it. On the front anyway. Oh well it was something neither of them would be able to predict how it would go until it happened. If it happened.

"I don't have to. Him and I are on the same page about what's most important here."

Cui soundly agreed, wrapping his tail around his little paws with a, "Cu-CUiiii~!"

Tiara's smile warmed tenfold at the way the two had similar agreements, glancing over at Fang with an even softer smile, "Well I am of the same opinion...as I am sure you know."

BUT, eat first, curl up in warm arms later. She has to remind herself of this, because it was really tempting to snuggle against him like this.

Finally you are." Fang pointed out with a nod. Well if she didn't see the light soon they would have to escalate their plans to the next level. Thankfully it would not have to come to that and thus they were here now.

Tiara giggled, scritching Cui behind the ears, "Better late than never, no..?" She glanced at Fang with a sweet smile, before turning to her food once more. Better late than never felt like something that applied to Fang more than her though, in her opinion. Thoguh even she had to acknowledge he's been getting up earlier like her lately. Almost like he had synchronized his sleep schedule with hers - except when he took those naps.
