There was a just barely noticeable hint of surprise on his face when all of Ebbie's butterflies landed on him. Well if that wasn't a sign of approval he didn't know what was. He looked around and nodded. "I mean... we've been together for a while now. I'd been thinking about it for a while. Especially since the whole endless snow thing. Just..."

He was blushing, yeah. There were moments for sloth demons where things were a drag. Expressing feelings was one of those things, because sometimes there was more to say than just "I love you" or one of those thinly veiled sloth metaphors demon metaphors.

"I think it's just time we stepped things up. Also looking at places alone makes me sleepy. And if it's gonna be a shared space... your input's important too," he continued with a yawn. The sloth demon chuckled quietly to himself, "I guess... that's all to say I love you that much."

Indeed, having Ebbie's entire swarm react all at once in a certain way meant it was important. She was extremely pleased that this was something he was interested in.

She might or might not have noticed the blushing but she definitely paid firm attention to his words, and what powerful ones they were. He wanted to make sure to obtain her input in the housing decision and he loved her. Loved her and wanted to progress their relationship further.

"I would very much enjoy living with you if we can find a suitable place Archer. Even if it means suffering through some house hunting," she laughed, and the butterflies fluttered along with her joyous voice.

She couldnt very well wrap around him too much more without unintentionally turning into a viney cocoon but she leaned in to kiss him with glamoured lips and comfortably lay with him in the grass.

"Maybe we can find a place with a large skylight in the ceiling," she smiled. But she also recalled her people's worries and agitation. It was hard for her to just relax and focus on enjoying the glorious sloth demon body pillow next to her. A couple butterflies lifted off to correspond with her distraction and flitted around above them.

"There's a lot outside the city so I'm sure we'll find something," Archer was admittedly quite satisfied with himself. He kissed her back as he was slowly but steadily becoming wrapped in a tangle of vines. Hugs were nice, but having a girlfriend who can embrace you in a mass of vines was much more comfortable.

"A sky light would cut down on electricity and energy use too," he added. He hadn't even considered one, but hey it was a good idea.

Archer did note the butterflies fluttering above them. They'd been together long enough that he could read her moods reasonably well through her butterflies. She was probably still thinking about the situation with her people. He wasn't too sure what all he could say to reassure her.

"Whatever happens, we'll deal with things as they come, alright?"

Somewhere somewhat secluded, with plenty of natural elements and access to sunlight and/or moonlight. That was most important to her, and honestly kind of a fairly easy set of requirements to fulfill. It would be nice to call someplace their home. Or second home, since Ebbie couldnt just forsake her true home.

"You are correct," she sighed and nuzzled in closer against him. "I do not wish to see a misunderstanding lead to some type of incident between my people and the people here. And I would not wish to have to choose between them or you." The last part was much quieter. In truth such talk was dangerous if there were any prying ears. But if there were, they probably would have revealed themselves by now, right?

"I don't think it's gonna come to any of that," he reassured her. He was imagining a nice little cottage not quite near the city, but not too far either. He wondered if it was the kind of dwelling Ebbie's people would want to visit on occasion. "I thought of a farm for twelve seconds and then I remembered... all that land."

He wrinkled his nose at the idea. Archer scanned around, there was still nobody that he could see, hear, or smell nearby. Letting himself get all relaxed didn't necessarily mean his guard was down. Especially when he was out here with Ebbie. He gave her a kiss. Ideally he could stay out here like this forever.

Ebbie laughed. It was not just the throaty laugh of a human, not really. It was more magical than that. Subtly different enough that many people might not be able out pick it out but those who knew spriggans like Ebbie would know it. True fae laughter. And she kissed him again as he relaxed within her green embrace. Her glamoured hands brushing casually against his cheek.

"I would not wish to ask you to take on that much work. It would be unfair and unreasonable. Besides, I much prefer the natural growth of plants with just a little bit of a guiding hand for where I live," she says as she lets the end of one of her vines brush against the rough edges of a few blades of grass.

"I do have to meet with some of the others later. If they decide to send more of us over they'll request that I help them settle in. If they decide I need protection...," she figured it wouldn't need to be said. If she was sent protection there would be others shadowing her. Privacy would be... more difficult. And the other option- her being recalled back, well she wasn't going to talk about that any more than was strictly necessary.

Archer frowned a bit he knew there wasn't really much he could do to help remedy the situation with Ebbie's people. He certainly didn't want to rub them the wrong way. That said, he did wish they would put a little more trust in him. And trust that the situation wasn't going to get any more out of hand. If they did decide on giving her bodyguards they probably weren't going to let Ebbie out of their sights in the truest sense.

"Well, it'll be a pain if you get a security detail, but we'll manage. We can drag them house hunting when we go," a rare mischievous grin was forming on his face. It was pretty easy to forget that he was a demon sometimes, and he could be a bit spiteful in his own way.

Ebbie was 70% sure Archer wouldn't accidentally piss off the others if they decided to intervene. But that was a bit of a large margin for disastrous results. The house hunting was an amusing thought though. The others would be unable to refuse.

She smiled at Archer again and nodded, sending a handful of butterflies to collide with his face. "We can certainly insist on house hunting. Much to their annoyance i'm sure. Just remember they might be just as devious in their maneuvering as you are in suggesting that," she laughed but there was a tinge of seriousness mixed in. The Spriggans were still Fae after all.

"On the bright side, I might spend more time without the glamour if there are others to keep watch."

"Well, my little sister is half fae and half demon. I know better than to just offend them. Who knows, maybe they might have good suggestions," he chuckled and cuddled closer to her. His face was surprisingly still, allowing the butterflies to crawl on his face.

"Huh," he was his reply when she mentioned the potential prospect of seeing Ebbie in her natural form more. To a person who didn't know how he was, it probably would have sounded a bit dismissive. It was more of a surprised sound than anything else. "Well, I do think you're human glamour is pretty. I like the real you a lot better though. I don't think I've really said that before, but you're beautiful."

Ebbie's butterflies, aside from the ones flitting about almost like early warning sentinels, mostly clustered on the both of them. Showing of course that her attention was mostly focused on them and their connection.

If she had any doubts about the idea of being in true form more, his reaction surely pushed them out of her head. She laughed pleasantly and pulled his face in for a long kiss. "We should make sure any place we pick has space for us both to be in our true forms. Your muscles make for a nice body to cling to while I sleep. Although that is true in both forms," she whispered as her glamoured hand ran up his arm to his chest. "Maybe a nice nap before it's time to check in with my people again?"
