there wasnt a lot being spoke on the way to Rosamere's little place, just a lot of thinking and trying to think of what is best out of this for everyone, what they were doing was and seemed the best of both worlds, he keep looking at Quen every now and again to make sure she was doing ok, it wasnt that long before they got they and he pulled up close to her cabin and jumped down before moving to help Quen down before walking up steps to knock her door,

Quen knocked the door and they stood there waiting for her to open it, he would have just walked in any other time, but now with her being engaged, he didnt want the last thing he seen before he left was Rosamere and Fabian standing in there birthday suites, in life some things are best unseen and your naked little sister is one of them, so they would just wait, 

Fabian wanted to surprise Rosa it not long till their wedding day at he wanted to try and make things special so he brought her a little present for her and some ingredients for her potions as well from when he was around town on his day of. He wanted to prove that he will always be a supportive husband. So he made his way by horse to Rosa cottage.

When he got there he noticed two figures already there and he smiled when he noticed them as Liono Morrigan and Quenya Morrigan he walked towards them "Lio just the man i need to speak to." He smiled as he came up behind them and he than looked at Que "Lady Delaney a pleasure to see you as always." He said with a genuin smile.

Rosamere had two different books open on prop stands in front of her on the table as she was prepping several winter herbs she'd harvested earlier from her potions garden. Along one wall, she had winterblyshe hanging to dry out with thistle and bloodpine needles. She was being more cautious about the potions she was making on the days that she knew Fabian was off duty, not wanting to be brewing something that she knew would raise eyebrows if he decided to stop by.

When the knock came, she wasn't entirely surprised but seeing that it wasn't just Fabian on the other side did catch her a little off guard even as she greeted them with a smile. "Hi. What brings everyone here?"

Quen smiled faintly to Liono as they waited for the door to be answered, then she heard footsteps and she turned, startled as Fabian came up behind them. She blinked, turning her eyes to him and smiling faintly ”Hey Fabian” she said softly as her eyes moved to Lio for a second. Fabian smiled brightly and Quen forced a smile, unable to match the happiness in his, not even coming close to it. Fabian advised he needed to speak with Liono and then the door opened and Rosa smiled, asking what brought everyone to her door.

Quen swallowed back the tears that begged to flow and she stepped to Rosa to hug her gently. ”You’re a popular lady Rosa. Lio and I need to talk to you, we can’t be long but Fabian wanted to talk to Lio first. Can we go inside and can I have a drink possibly, please?”[b/] she asked with a light smile. Her eyes hurt from all the crying and were red but she did her best to keep her head high and not ruin Rosa or Fabian’s good mood with her own.

as they stood there waiting for the door to open he heard a horse come up and heard Fabian speck, he turned and looked at him as he walked up the steps and smiled at him, from what he knew of him he was a nice guy and seemed to have his heart in the right place when it come to Rosamere and knowing she was settled and had someone other than Conall and Ellison looking out for her, made what was coming now a little easier, 

Fabian spoke and said he was just the man he had to speck to, he let go of Quens hand extending it to shake his, "we will be able to talk once i tell you and Rosamere the real reason for the visit" 

as he spoke to Quen, Rosamere came to door as he looked round at her when she asked what brings the call, before he spoke Quen answered her but didnt give to much away, "we have something we need to tell use" he said as he looked "and yeah a drink wouldnt be a bad thing"

Fabian smiled and nodded "Sure if it is something important that I can ask Lio afterwards." Fabian smiled as he walked over to Rosa and kissed her on her forehead softly. "I've brought you some ingredients for your potions and a little present." He smiled softly as he got a blue box out of his pocket he walked behind her and placed a necklace if she allowed him to do so around her neck. 

"this was my grandmothers on my mother's side my grandfather brought it for her for their wedding, I would love for you to have it." Fabian smiled softly looking lovingly at her. 

Fabian looked up at Lio and Quenya in front of them.

Rosamere took in the look on Lio's face, the redness of Quen's eyes, and she felt something settle in her gut. An uncomfortable feeling that she usually associated with bad news, or a negative outcome at the least, and she felt her smile waver a little as she stepped aside to let everyone in. Whatever the conversation was that they came here for, because it looked like Fabian wasn't part of whatever news they brought, she didn't think they'd want to have it in the open air. 

"I have some tea, if that's alright." She had a small handful of tea selections and a kettle that she kept on hand in case she wanted some without heading up to the main house while brewing, plus a few mugs that looked like they would be all getting used today. She stepped aside so that Lio and QUen could go in first, leaving her and Fabian for a moment as she looked at the necklace before he put it on her. It was nice, sweet, but felt a little out of place at the moment with what she was picking up from her brother.

Still, she gave him a smile, touched that he would even give her something that obviously meant alot to him. "Thank you Fabain." If it was just them, the conversation might've been different but Lio and Quen obviously had something in particular that they wanted to tell, her, well them. "Let me make the tea. Um, I really only have stools so take your pick." Since she'd started working with Odina on potions, she had made sure to have more stools in case the children came with her for lessons.

The kettle now on, she turned her focus to Quen and Lio. "Is... is everything okay?" She didn't think the answer was going to be positive, not with the feeling in her gut. 

"Tea will be perfect…" Quen said softly, trying to keep her voice steady as Rosa stepped aside so they could head into her cottage. Quen took Lio's hand gently, her stomach and head aching over doing this, her mind reeling. Rosa and Fabian hung back for a second as Quen and Lio headed in and Quen caught his words to her, smiling faintly at their love for each other.

Quen grabbed a stool and sat quietly, noticing the necklace and piecing together that was what they'd hung back for… so sweet. Rosa got the kettle on and then turned to her and Lio, asking if everything was OK. Quen's eyes moved to her hands in her lap before she looked to Lio questioningly before taking a deep breath and answering "Your brother and I have to go away for a bit… my parents have arranged for me to get married… like… right away. As in, tomorrow I go get the dress, right away. They've talked about it for a long while and with my behavior lately, apparently…" her sentence ended there as she looked to her lap, a mixture of sadness and anger taking over her ability to form more words.

She took another deep breath as she forced her eyes up to them. "My parents obviously don't know…. We are only stopping to tell you, Benny and Ellison." She said softly as she looked to Rosa, then to Lio for comfort and to see if he had more to say.

lio waked into Rosas and grabbed a seat beside Quen and listened to Fabian as he give Rosa a gift before she put the tea on, he could use a real drink about more but tea would do just fine for now, he looked up at her when she asked if everything was ok, he caught Quen look at him out the corner of his eye but before he could say Quen said it all, he looked at her and listened to what she was saying, when she finished he turned and looked back at Rosa and Fabain 

"its not going to be forever its just for now, i hope use understand" he did know what to say to be fair, this wasn't what he thought he would telling people when he got up this morning, as much as he was going to miss everyone, even Conall, this was something he wasnt not going to do, he had to, "i need you to know we will be back for the wedding, i couldnt and wouldnt miss it"

Fabian helped with the tea making with rosa if she let him of course as he went and stood in the door way as then went to explain. He stood there he looking at Rosa having a feeling it might affect her the most her brother having to go away for a while.  He turned to look at Que and a sympathetic smile, "Well I hope one day your happiness is more important cause you are clearly happy."

He looked at Liono with the same smile. "I really hope you be back in time cause we would both love for you both to be there. I need the Morrigan boys up there with me as I am getting married to their sister." He smiled 

Rosamere blinked, taking a moment to process what Quenya just said and she looked to Lio for confirmation, praying that this was maybe some joke but the look on both of their faces very clearly indicated otherwise. Her mouth went dry. In this room, only Quen knew that she'd agreed to the betrothal so that it'd give her and Lio more leeway for their own relationship. And, obviously, it had failed.

She felt the tears building behind her eyes, not even registering what Fabian said as she abruptly wrapped her arms around her brother, trying not to cry. They'd probably assume her tears were only because he was leaving but there was so much more to it than that.

Lio looked at Fabian when he said what he said, the fact he wanted her brothers standing with him when he married his sister made him smile, "i wouldnt miss the wedding the world, and id be honored to stand beside you at the wedding, thank you" when Quen spoke and told them what was going on he looked at Rosa who had a look on her face wondering if this was real or not, 

when the penny drop and she knew, she hugged him, he hugged her back and felt like crap for doing this but it wasnt going to be forever, just a short time  "Rosa it wont be for long i promise, im sorry that we have to do it but are hands are tied right now, it will be ok, Conal and Ellison are here and now you have Fabian to look out for you, il be back before you even know it"

Quen just stood back, letting Lio comfort Rosa. She really felt bad that it had come to this, that she was the reason Rosamere was crying now. She felt an extreme amount of guilt that she was taking Rosa's brother away, if even for a very short time. She swallowed dryly as her already aching eyes threatened to tear up again as she turned them to her hands, fidling with her fingers as if she were holding something though she was not.

She smiled softly as Fabian wanted Liono to be at the alter with him when he married Rosa, it was sweet and Quen could not wait to see how their lives evolved after their marriage, their children and to watch then grow old together. It would be sweet she hoped. She moved to Lio and Rosa after a moment and hugged them both, trying to help soothe Rosa gently.
