Prompt: Day 23 - Dancing (Session: 02.01.2022 Holidays)
Taminalma and Rog share a moment in their new kitchen.
Rated: General
There’s music floating up from the buskers at the harbour. They have left the windows open letting the salty air in, a welcome reprieve from the exhaustion of carrying their belongings up into their new home.
But now their relatives have gone, and they are alone.
“Jewel for your thoughts?”
Taminalma turns around. Rōka is standing in the doorway to the kitchen.
“The buskers are playing. Dance with me!”
Rōka blushes. “You know I have two left feet!”
“So do I! Let’s do it anyway.”
He sighs and wraps his arms around them.
They begin to sway to the music.
