^^Embarking on this adventure was supposed to be something amazing. It was supposed to feel perfect, and maybe he was being an idealist, maybe a touch of a romantic even....but this didn't feel like he thought it would. He didn't think that he and @Elowyn would have been perfectly in sync immediately, but as Laurence's daughter he thought she'd be more excited for the path that they were on. The path that they had been chosen for. If they weren't bound by love they were at the least bound by duty. They had been tasked with establishing the next branch of Heartmouth, and it was something that Tetsujin had no plans to take lightly.
Instead he found that he and his bride were mostly curt with one another. Tetsujin's best attempts so far to cajole even a smile from her had mostly flatlined. The night before had ended in a mild argument, they'd disagreed about where to bunker down for the night. The forest that loomed around them wasn't exactly defendable enough for Tetsujin but then Elowyn had wanted to settle for the night rather than press on. In the end, his bride had been right. She'd found a clearing and in the middle a lake had been stretched out, the full moon shining beautifully in it. Tetsujin was almost sure that it was even glowing.
He had hunted for them and they'd fallen asleep, Tetsujin facing Elowyn but not touching her - trying to respect her space. The last thing that Tet remembered was flowers from the trees around them falling in the light breeze - a soft scent before they'd fallen asleep.
When he woke it was cold and he woke with a gasp. Sunlight only slightly filtered in through an opening further from them and Tetsujin quickly looked for his wife. He couldn't find her yet, a slight trembling overcoming him as he tried to get his barrings. They were in a cave? How did that happen....he hadn't moved since he'd fallen asleep. And where was his wife? His eyes struggled to adjust between the darkness of the cavern but he could make out the jagged rocks that seemed to fill the cavern itself, careful not to injure himself as he stood and tried to figure out where they were.
