From the steps of the former House of Healing, now Reithwin’s school, Kelari looked out onto the town. He saw his brother waving up to him, his daughter Juniper ran to him and he took her into a big hug. At the same time Kelari felt a hug from behind. Astarion came up and pressed a soft kiss to the side of his face. Their daughter Linnea stood next to him, holding his hand.
“Dad? Can I go play with Junie now?”
His daughter's bright green eyes beamed up at him, excited to go spend time with her cousin.
“Of course love. Actually, tell Uncle Gale we're inviting ourselves over for dinner.” He smiled while watching Linnea skip over to Juniper and Kili. They often had dinner with the whole family, but it had been awhile and Kelari missed spending time with everyone, but especially his brother. He knew Gale wouldn’t mind cooking extra.
From the direction of their house he saw Rhys approach and start a conversation with Kili. A little bundle was strapped to his person, a tuft of white hair, almost identical to his own peaking out on the height of his chest. Their baby Sage was seemingly sleeping soundly against their fathers body, all cosily wrapped up. Kelari immediately wanted to move down the stairs towards them, see their little one, and also kiss Rhys for how adorable he looked with their small baby tied to him, but for just a moment longer he leaned into Astarion’s hug. He looked out over the town square and the surroundings, the playing children that he helped teach, the community they had build together and, most importantly, his favourite people in the whole world, and just sighed.
“What is it love?”
“Nothing. I’m just really fucking happy.”
