Rhea adored the outings in the past, and over the course of the summer she had lost sight of that. Especially when Alphard had given her another walk around with a new light.
"I suppose I should prepare for us to move here?" He offered, walking backward for a moment to address her properly. But she had glanced over towards him from taking a small peak up at the artwork.
He had a vast collection, a beautiful one at that.
"Not necessarily, it's far too big. I'm having trouble not getting lost as is."
"You won't be getting lost, this is simply half the manor. And you can design it how you wish." She shook her head.
"Perhaps when we host celebrations we'll stay the night or enjoy it for smaller family events, but it's not...Homey." Alphard knew that Rhea wasn't looking was wealth, and marrying the wealthiest bachelor had been the furthest thing from her mind.
Which made her all the more adorable, but It was ultimately what she fancies. And Alphard would do his best to take everything into consideration to turn it into a reality.
"I...I didn't mean to offend, it's gorgeous but it's—"
"Not either of us, perhaps I should commission us a home?"
"Absolutely not, I'm sure either of your two manors will be grand."
"And if I said it was exactly like Grimmauld Place?" That stilled Rhea's joking manner as she bit her lip, realizing her mistake she looked out of place and Alphard hummed.
"I'm teasing love, can hardly understand how you managed a month there as is."
"The company was nice."
"Surely you don't mean my sister?" Rhea shrugged her shoulders slightly, she didn't mind Mrs.Black, she was endearing with the way she and Cissy had planned a birthday bash for her.
Even if it was just an excuse to plan something for a celebration and party.
"Don't let her get to you, she can get real fowl when she wants to be."
"How come? I haven't done anything wrong towards her, have I?"
"No, but what's brewing between us both will surely set her off. I have no doubt in that."
"And Orion? Does he agree with her?" Alphard had taken the liberty to silence her worries nearly instantly.
"No, of course not. He's happy as can be that I've met someone such as yourself—And he was pleasantly surprised by how sweet you are. Haven't you been listening this entire evening?" She nodded but still didn't feel all too convinced.
She hardly thought she had to worry about Walburga being an issue, she thought all had been managed well enough.
"Now then, let's take a walk in the garden before joining that stuffy crowd. Yes?"
"I suppose..."
"We could simply stay elsewhere, whatever it is—"
"What do you want?" She questioned and Alphard silently laughed, his body showcasing how hilarious he thought her question to be.
"I don't recall saying anything that was funny..." She grumbled, her pout becoming visible as she hadn't a clue what had tickled Alphard so much. But he couldn't stop, not when Rhea was turning rose-red or when her lip puckered outwards in retaliation.
"Oh please tell me! I can't take it anymore!" She cheered, her hands coming to place against his chest as she nearly jumped into him. "Rhea...My dear sweet little goddess, I have everything I could ever possibly want. I ask you this because I want to know if I could make you happy and know that everything is fulfilled."
"So what was funny about that...?"
"That you still manage to surprise me, that when I ask what you want to do you flip it around to my needs. You don't have to do that with me."
