The flirtation of her tone was palpable, mirrored in the sensuality of her posture as she stood and leaned to the side with a smug disposition. Eyes narrowed as she searched his expression, a hand draped proudly over one hip. "How do you suppose I should get down from up here?", the genuine question came slathered with a layer of sarcasm. The earliest hints of morning light began to seep into the atmosphere, submerging its deep blue clouds in a halo of cerulean. As songbirds began to stir from their nests, Elora found herself missing the same. This day had been so much longer, more arduous, more beautiful than she ever could of imagined. In that moment, it felt as if she could sense all of her muscles relaxing, the crisp morning air washing over her body like a revitalizing wave of acceptance. With it, she felt a profound sense of serenity, of gratitude for everything they'd endured and overcome. A cleansing breath carried with it the promise of a brighter future, a steady exhale, the severing of whatever inhibitions still remained. Carrying her gaze off toward the trunk, she studied a series of branches that dappled the length of the tree. It only seemed appropriate that she embarked on the slow, arduous task of scaling each in an effort to reach the ground. Still, something about that mental picture didn't seem very...heroic, nor enchanting. After all, Freyd had already expended so great an effort to please her gaze. It would only be fair for her to return the favor. Taking a few, careful steps back, Elora dashed forward and made a dramatic leap from the edge of the bow. The fabric of her cloak billowed and rippled in the wind, streaming like a flame behind her as it caught orange slivers of the encroaching sunrise. Just for show, she anticipated the entrance into a belated front-flip. Oh how she would loved to see his face in that moment. With legs returning to a parallel just before her landing, she straddled them to either side of his torso, knocking him off of his feet and carrying them both to the ground in one, decisive motion. Hands clasped firmly around his shoulders had given way to the impact, collapsing both of her elbows to rest enclosed on either side of his head. Huffs of amazement at her own abilities quickly dissipated as she drew nearer to him with an eager suggestion, "Let's say we find someplace to spend the night."
