"This place is so...calm...quite warm...peaceful..."

Averie couldn't help but chuckle a little by the amazed look on Filbo's face after entering the glass dome. Several plants grow from the soil, and the glass above is a good protection against the harsh cold of the winter. Right now both grumpuses were sitting on a striped blanket with a wicker basket. Three plates were taken out and on one of those there was a creme cake with blueberries scattered on top.

"So nice from Asp's band colleague for letting us spending the whole day here." the orange grumpus remarked as they cut a piece from the cake and put it on the dish. Their turquoise eyes rested on the flower crown they have worked on earlier for Filbo, each of the flower's colours represent a characteristic they adore about the cyan grumpus.

Lilac...for his kindness and compassion...always there for others.

White...for his innocence.

Yellow...for his optimisim. No matter how bad things turned, he tries to make it better for others.

Fuchsia...for he matured over the past months. There is always enough room to grow, but compared from our time on Snaktooth Island...he has become more mature and confident.

Averie was listing the colours and went deep in thoughts, thus forgetting that they seemingly staring at their...boyfriend.

"Averie?" a voice reminded them they are not alone in the dome. Filbo was looking at them, head tilted. "You okay there?" Averie now fully returned to reality and a smile crossed their face as they slid a bit closer to the cyan grumpus.

"I couldn't help but admire the most beautiful grumpus here." they gently spoke, with a hint of a flirty tone. What followed was Filbo blushing once realising that Averie made him a compliment. "Ohh...errr..." Averie was slightly chuckling by the fact the cyan grumpus was most likely not being used to receiving compliments.

Soon enough they put a piece of the cake on a spoon, gently placing a paw over his. "Could you please close your eyes and open your mouth, my dear?" they asked, hearing a soft sigh from Filbo, who smiled to the orange grumpus. He then did what they asked him for, allowing Averie to feed him the cake.

Soon enough Averie could see from the expression that the cyan grumpus was enjoying the taste of the cake, feeling glad that he did so. Of course he would. Learned to bake the cake from pa after all.

The rest of the day would remain calm and peaceful, that's for sure.
