Chapter 486: Planning, Preparations, Arrangements
Tala and Rane were both blushing—if only mildly—hours after that part of the conversation with Master Nadro finished.
Tala knew it was silly to be so affected. Physical intimacy was not only a part of marriage, it was required for the actual marriage—the soulbond—to occur.
-And, you know, you’re—-
Not. One. More. Word.
-...Fine. Spoilsport.- Still, Alat projected an air of good natured teasing.
As should have been no surprise to anyone, it had been a tricky subject to approach, even between two adults who knew full well that it would be a part of their lives and relationship sooner rather than later. The wedding was only months away at this point, after all.
Regardless, they had hammered out some of the particulars without actually getting explicit, and Tala was left feeling grateful that they’d discussed it, even if she still felt overwhelmingly uncertain about the subject.
After physical intimacy and such interactions, they’d discussed their social expectations as a couple and eventually as a larger family. That had been rather easy as both enjoyed being around people but not too much.
They both preferred quiet time doing their own thing to noisy gatherings, and both would love that time to be done side by side.
