The stables are still roughly hewn, the roof barely a single layer of wood with no thatch yet. Yet the horses are being kept here, two magical heaters working to keep the place warm enough for the horses.
In one of the center stalls is Anglerond, grooming a horse with a brush and a pail. His shirt is pulled off, revealing a muscular body, lacking the scars he once had. He seems to be focused on the horse, unaware of the rest of the world.

Key strides into the stables, stopping in the doorway for a moment to let her eyes adjust. She grabs a brush and comb on her way in and starts to work on the horses tail. She works in silence for a few moments then stops and looks up at him.
“Im sorry. I jumped to conclusions and said some things that I shouldn’t have.”

Anglerond is quiet for a few moments as he continues to brush the horse. He then looks over at Key and gives her a small nod, "You have nothing to apologize for Key. I am sorry for how I approached that, I didn't think through what I was saying. Sometimes my mind wanders and I suspect that is just my age coming home." He gives her a small soft smile.

Key finishes up with the tail and moves on to the mane next to Anglerond. She bumps him with her hip and smiles.
“I should definitely apologize. I was wrong too and I acknowledge that. I could have been more understanding of your point of view.” She absently reaches up and rubs the horses ear.

Anglerond smile becomes larger when Key bumps him, "Passionate people are passionate in everything. That is what is fun and terrifying." He looks over at Key's shadow in the corner named Rabbit then looks back at Key. A suspicious look crosses his face. "What are you two up to?"

Key tries to adopt a casual stance and fails.
“Not much, we are going to take Alluvian out for the night and have some fun. You know, before she gets nailed down and can’t leave Arborlon.” She looks around at the other horses.
“Have they brought my horse over yet?”

Anglerond raises an eyebrow at Key's words, "Sobhan's stables have your horse, Nestrim won't let them stable him here until the stables are finished and can be secure. It is too cold for your horse to be comfortable and too open and not enough security to protect thieves... according to Nestrim." He looks at Key's face, leans over and kisses her softly, then hard. When he comes up for air. "Do what you want, I am not jealous of this and I want you to just be you."

Key drops the brush and comb next to the pale. She wraps her arms around his waist.
“I don’t plan to do anything that would make you jealous. I have been talked into drinking. But that will be as willd as I get.” She kisses him quickly then steps back. She pulls out the scrolls she picked up from Nestrim and hands them over.
“These are yours High Lord Anglerond. If you want to change your name just talk with Nestrim.”

Anglerond stares at the papers in his hands. He lightly licks his lips and the stress is evident. He then puts them away without looking., "thank you Key, you won’t regret this I promise."

Key slips her arms back around his waist again. She pulls him close hoping to provide some sort of comfort.
“I didn’t do it to make you uncomfortable and I know I won’t regret it. I thought the title would make it easier to do what I’ve asked you to do. Im sorry I don’t have lands yet to go with your title, but when I do they are yours.” She looks at him trying to gage his reaction.

Anglerond picks Key up and hugs her, covering her with kisses for several moments. Passion washing over him until he can get it back under control, "The only land I want or need is the 5 feet around your feet at all times. Lands mean nothing to me other then the soil under your feet, or the bed under your back, or the horse under your butt."
A look of assessment crosses his face, "That last one was awkward, ignore it."

Key laughs.
“Nope, I plan to keep that one in my back pocket to pull out whenever I want. The rest was quite eloquent. Are you interested in changing your name?”

Anglerond watches Key for a long time without responding. He seems unsure what to say and just when the silence seems unbearable he starts speaking, "I have considered putting aside Anglerond, after all that was the name I took on as a Ranger. I may go back to my older first name. I may leave off my surname though... There is only one surname I want and it is the one I can't have."
He leans over and kisses Keyleth on the cheek softly, a quiet intensity to his emotion.

Key closes her eyes for a moment. She opens them and reaches out to take Anglerond’s hand.
“Marriage is just a piece of parchment, a business arrangement. You’ll have all the most important things like love and commitment.” She lets go of his hand to wrap her arms around his neck.
“What was your name before your joined the rangers? I want to know everything about you.”

Anglerond covers Key in kisses for a few moments before answering, "I was known as Gael'ael Dae'itas when I received my full titles from the Queen's sister and I was young and freshly married. My given name was Tanethel though."
// Gael'ael Dae'itas translates roughly to Great Pegasus of the White Wall
