Rowan hums softly, pulling her closer and kissing her cheek. "I don't think you had a proper education, so we'll have to start simpler, but if you wanted to go to college at some point, I don't see why not." He smiled against her cheek. "You're welcome to do whatever you want, little one."

He sat back, fingers still playing with her tail before his other hand went back and joined in again. He looked back out to the view, smiling lightly. It was pretty today.

Willow feels her cheeks grow hot at the simple action of Rowan kissing her cheek and tries to concentrate on what he’s saying instead of falling into a giggling fit. Her eyes glance sidelong at Rowan once he finishes, feeling that same swell of her heart in gratitude to him. “As long as you’re beside me.” Her soft voice is shy in tone, but her eyes glance away from Rowan to grow wide in wonder at the possibilities before her.

She rests her head against Rowan, leaning back with him and humming softly to herself. “If you keep playing with my tail, I’m going to fall asleep on you.” She threatens in a small voice.
