Darius took a while to find the black plum his wife wanted to eat. Despite a bit of hardship, he managed to get some of the fruit from the most southeastern part of his kingdom. Hell, he was willing to go to the ends of the world just to give his wife whatever it was that she wanted, but this thankfully didn't have to happen today.
He smiled widely as he entered the inn before walking straight to their private chamber. There, she saw that Xen was already sleeping. Darius shook his head at the sight of it, but the smile on his face remained as he approached the bed and sat on its edge. Gently removing some of the hair strands covering her face, he was more than content just staring at his wife when Xen slowly opened her eyes to greet him.
"I'm sorry, did I wake you up?" he gently asked as he caressed her face.
