"Min kjærlighet!"

Hurrying over was the other's fiancé. The fox wasted no time picking up his dearly beloved and twirling her in his arms before giving his love all the affection they deserves. It had been long since the Shepherd returned to the manor, and it was finally time to face his soulmate once and for all. In truth, he felt bad running away for so long. How long has it been? Months? Years? He wasn't too sure himself, but one thing was for certain; he did what he had to do for them. For any future visitors as well. Escape was something almost near impossible for the manor folk to do. Setting his lover down, Pearce flashed a smile and held Archer's hands.

"Long time no see. I apologize for my prolonged absence. The preparations took a bit of a delay... Thankfully that conniving demon did not disturb me during our work... How is everything? You look quite... exhausted. Do you want to sit under the trees? I can let you lean against my chest if you'd like..?"

The Shepherd was very cautious around the Archer, always looking them over. Taking their hands into his own, the fox gave a comforting smile. Now he had to be here, more than ever. If he wanted to make things right, he'd have to take responsibility for their future. This is what he wanted to do.

"I see you got my gift... I'm sorry I couldn't do it in person. I'm hoping now it'll mean much more in person... and I believe it'll mean much more with our vows. Gosh, it's been so long... And still your presence leaves a warm, lingering feeling in my heart. How I adore you, min kjærlighet..."

Someone might be a hopeless romantic, much more than he was before. Some people change for the better or worse it seems.

@ask-idv-shepherd

Suddenly hearing a both familiar and unfamiliar voice had Archer turn halfway before they were suddenly grabbed and spun around out of nowhere. There was a stillness in their body for a moment before their brain started to work and process exactly who it was that was holding them up at the moment. A low grumble escaped Archer passed their lips as they brought hands up to pinch and pull at Pearce's cheeks in punishment. Cheeks were slightly flushed as Archer tried to keep a serious expression but couldn't help the soft twitch of lips.

"Really? Do you know how worrisome it's been you silly fox!" Archer softly hissed, pulling his cheeks again with now tiny shaky hands. Despite being asleep and trying to relax for the time, they indeed were exhausted. Of course they were!

It wouldn't be a stretch to say that Archer might being just a little petty with their actions and words.

The mention of the gift, Archer took a glance at the ring hanging from their neck tucked safely in their shirt. It would mean much more if it was done in person but still, it was cherished and kept safe...even if 'Wendigo' kept grumbling and hissing at it sometimes.

The being really didn't have favorable opinions it seemed - especially as it seemed to start to gain more sanity and awareness in the manor.

The fox kept waxing poetry - it was probably what that high strung Orpheus might call what Pearce was doing. It wasn't unwelcome, just unfamiliar as Archer put a hand over his mouth. Lips pursued a little as Archer looked at him for a moment. There was a look of debate on how she should say what she had to. It was supposed to be special right? Or maybe saying it outright would be better. Fingers squished his face as Archer thought for a bit longer.

"I think you mean to say gifts," Archer decided to settle on those words. He was going to have to work and rack his brain for an answer to her cryptic words.

[ask-idv-shepherd]

"Ow ow ow.. !! H-Honey! You usually don't pull my cheeks like this!! I know I should have warned you, but come on!"

His cheeks assaulted, and the Shepherd couldn't help but look lovey-dovey at the Archer. How hard had the beastly man fall for his fiancee? No one knows. All they needed to know was that he had finally found purpose, something to strive for again.

The other was about to continue his ramblings, only to be swiftly silenced by the other's hand and her conniving gaze. The phrase uttered out of her mouth made Pearce look slightly confused. Gifts? Was she referring to the ring and the home he was building her? Something in his gut told her it wasn't.

Despite his humanity, Pearce's ears started to twitch, the slight visible twitch of his nose as he got closer to continue sniffing his lover. It's a different scent, something a little more off-putting for the Shepherd. "You... Uhm... I apologize, but ALU began to pick up a new scent off you. I wonder why that's is?"

Gifts... Gifts... Was she planning a gift of her own back? Did he have to dig for the answers like a cunning fox? Circling around the other, Pearce continued to look the other over quizzically before his tail started to wag unsubconiously. It seemed to take the older man to finally perk up and finally realize what exactly was going on.

"Wait... wait, wait, are you telling me that time we... You're telling me it worked!? Did Emily tell you!? Are we really going to be a family!?! Am I gonna be a dad?!?"

God, he hated showing his excitement, but it was evident enough that Pearce was more than happy, hugging his fiancee and beaming. One thing Pearce had always wanted was his own family. If that's what Archer was hinting at, he was hoping for good news. Though, even if it wasn't true, he would still like to hear what she had planned for him. This was probably the widest grin Pearce had, little stars in his eyes. The innocent lamb before his slaughter all those years ago.

[ask-archer-idv]

"I'm doing so because it's your punishment," Archer quietly grumbled once they were satisfied enough with the punishment. They watched him quietly as he continued to look at them - a light flush on Archer's face as they stared at each other. Lips were pursed a little into a pout as he looked somewhat confused at her words.

Slowly but surely he would understand. If he didn't then she was going to be upset at him. Amanda would probably have kicked his ass too.

The slight mention of scent had a quiet chuckle come from the Archer. The pieces were starting to come together for the Shepherd it seemed. Good, she couldn't help but think.

The excitement on his face had her quirk her own lips into a soft smile. A nod of her head was his answer as he hugged her. A hand went to pet the top of his head as seemed to be absolutely over the moon about the idea. "Yes. You're going to be a dad," Archer quietly mumbled into his shoulder with a light sigh. A one of relief of him being back.

[ask-idv-shepherd]

"Ahhh! Honey...!!"

Back to it, he was hugging his wife and nuzzling into her hair. The Shepherd beamed with genuine happiness. He was going to be a father! A real father this time! He sure was nervous before, but now he was ready.

"H-How long have you come? I-I've only been gone for some time. Do you need anything at all? Are you feeling sick? Do you need to lie down?"

And still, a worrisome fox at heart. The Shepherd gently stroked his fiancée hair. No wonder she was so sleepy! He'd have to thank the Wendigo for protecting them, as much as the gut feeling said otherwise...

"We... We should hurry and prepare our ceremony. I want to make this happen for you and our baby. Let me help you out with the details, alright?"

Moving to cup Archer's face. Pearce couldn't help but spoil his love in so much affection. No doubt the fox was still on that high of being a father. Family meant so much to him, and to finally have his own made the Shepherd purr.

"Believe me when I say this, I'll never part from you again, min kjærlighet. No more keeping you alone and away. Let me take care of you more than ever now, alright?"

[idv-askchaoticduo]

"I see you all are home again. It's nice to finally see familiar faces."

A deep and brooding voice came from behind the two. But easily recognizable is the Shepherd. Almost immediately, the man scooped up his daughter with ease before humming.

"Min dyrebare lille engel... Har du holdt øye med reven?"

Happily nuzzling his adopted daughter was enough to make Pearce smile warmly. Now moving to the gambler, Pearce used one hand to cup Lawrence's cheek while supporting Sam with his other arm.

"It has been a long time, my dear. How have you been? Still scheming as always?"

@ask-idv-shepherd

"Pearce!" "Dad!"

The Candy Dealer didn't waste time on running at the Shepherd to hug him, with the gambler following behind in exciment to see his beloved again.

Despite the girl not understanding what her adoptive father said, the giggled with a genuine smile on her face that was once long forgotten.

The Gambler looked at them with a soft gaze, flinching at the touch of the Shepherd and melting onto it second afterwards, how much he missed it.

"Hehe.. I've been splendid! I would've been better if I was with you, but oh well.. beggars can't be choosers."

"Sammy here actually missed you."

"Of course I did, it's my dad, moron."

Lawrence giggled, only to look at Pearce with a sly smile now on his face. "Sooo what has my handsome shepherd been doing? Has ALU been messing with you? Did he miss me?"

[ask-idv-shepherd]

"I apologize about that... I had to take some time off for... a special reason." Though he sounded a bit unsure of his answer, it still didn't stop the Shepherd from lifting his partner's hand and planting a kiss.

Upon being named, ALU took control for a moment, the Shepherd's eyes beaming a bright red, the voice much raspier and dry than his previous vessel's. "Not in the slightest, you vexing parasite. In fact, I found it best when you were silent like the rest "

Quickly shaking his head, the Shepherd regain what control he lost, forming a sheepish smile and chuckling back into the deep brooding voice made of silk. "I'm sorry, he's been agitated lately... Don't pay him too much mind."

"I've been working on something outside the manor. Someplace to hide in. Alu and I have spent many months finishing the perperations. I'm here for two reasons. One to reconnect, the other is a secret." Putting a finger to his lips, Pearce seemed to smile. "So, not telling a soul just yet."

[idv-askchaoticduo]

A chuckle escaped the lips of the gambler at the kiss on his hands, reeling them back onto his pockets once the demonic voice of ALU was heard and holding back the urge to boop his nose.

"Love you too buddy, one can never get enough of me." He said in a teasing tone, yet still taking a step back in case he snapped at him.

At the mention of some secret place, The small candy dealer couldn't help but look interested, he curiosity making her perk up. "Not even gonna mention it to your precious daughter?" She said while holding her hat on her hands and looking at the shepherd with big pleading eyes.

Lawrence looked at her and thought about stopping her act, but honestly he was curious as well, deciding to stay silent and look at Pearce with playful suspicion.

"Are you making a safe heaven outside this manor? How dare you keep it to yourself, someone hasn't learned to share yet." He said while shaking his head.

Honestly... It would not be a heaven if Sam and Law were in it, maybe it's was better that way.

[ask-idv-shepherd]

"It disheartens me to say I also cannot spoil to you, my precious baby." Nuzzling against his daughter, he Shepherd perked up. "But, in time I promise you... I will allow you to to come visit and rest with the rest of us. It's quite big, so more space can be fitted into if desired."

Moving his beloved daughter to the side, the Shepherd glanced at the Gambler, a quiet laugh escaping his lips before replying. "Sharing is a strong word coming from a man such as yourself, Cotas. Pray tell, you haven't been causing your own harem trouble nowadays have we?" A light jest, nothing more.

Stretching, the Shepherd let out a yawn, his gloved paws scratching the back of his neck. "I just hope she's not too upset with my absence. I have much to make up for, especially in her regard. Escaping these grounds is a miracle to achieve..."

For that moment, the Shepherd seemed to look slightly conflicted. Would he be able to do it? Truthfully he wasn't sure, but he'd rather be safe than sorry. Besides, he knows how much the manor folk love to gossip.

Typical of the masses...

"Ah, I'm sorry, I must have gotten side-tracked. Come, come, I wish to hear your tales so far. I heard rumors that you'd both gone missing for awhile. Did you two do something reckless again in my absence? I would hope not..."

[ask-archer-idv]

Congrats on coming back loser, sadly I wanted to profit from your organs earlier but oh well.

"I beg your pardon??? What?"

[ask-idv-shepherd]

// Just realized I didn't share my new ALU ref.

(Bc I realized he and Wendigo literally looked the same for his old ref... Still prefer that over this, BUT he needs a nonsensical makeover.)

[idv-askchaoticduo]

[ask-idv-shepherd]

That means Alu must be back, which means I can finally ask the most burning question. Does Alu do the awoo?

"He is... not pleasant to the ears... But... no, he's not a wolf..."

"He is a conniving fox..."

[ask-idv-shepherd]

Exuse me Mr. Pearce Whittaker, what would you say if some one came back from a brack, but when they had first interacted with you they where a little brat that, even though it wasnt normaly how the charecter acts the mod had been starved for atenshon and are now EXTREAMLY sorry for it, and wants to start over and show that they are trying their best to be less of a brat? (this is also semi for the mod -- and the mod from the acount sending this is extreamly sorry as menshoned above.)

"A brat? The only brat I remember was the smaller Smith brother... Though I suppose he wasn't in his right state of mind, nor was I."

"I honestly can't remember who would do such a thing, most of my interactions are rather tame."

// Hi, I don't know who you are, but I don't remember any beef with anyone. It is what it is. I honestly can't remember so all is forgiven??? Yeah, totally!
