"We should explore this place more." He has a map with detailed notes about the regions of Nippon from things he's read and heard and experienced himself. "One region at a time. Wouldn't that be fun?"
"It would! Maybe there's some cute places where we could spend a night at. For a romantic getaway for a night." They were both interested in exploration but they were both so attached to their home. But a night away? He was sure they'd both love that and it wouldn't feel like they were gone too long.
"I would like that!" He did love their home and the time they spent in it. But travel was important to Henry, too. He loved a little adventure. And Nippon was a small country, like England, so they could travel a lot without having to spend a great deal of time doing so.
"Let's look for one then. It would be nice to experience a day somewhere new. It would give you so much to write about for your studies too, I'm sure." Because he would always encourage Henry's passion for his work. Never was he going to discourage him from pursuing that. The man he loved deserved to have the things he loved acknowledged.
"I'm trying to work on a regional guide to the local flora and fauna, including the ayakashi." Being able to take a few day trips here and there has been helpful, but an overnight stay would allow them to travel a little further away. It was perfect!
"This should help with that then. You'll be better able to note things that might only come out at night."
Gaura smiled brightly just thinking of how excited Henry was going to end up being. It was something he was looking forward to already. "I'm excited for when you share what you find with me."
"I can get out my map later and we can choose where we want to go first!" He's very excited about this! Not only would he get to enhance his studies of this place, but he could do it while spending time with Gaura!
"Yes please! Maybe for our first time we can go somewhere we've already been. That way it'll be more of a deep exploration to see if we find something new." That seemed a nice way to go about it. Then they could start branching out to places they weren't familiar with in future adventures.
"Do you remember when we did the oni trials? We were so busy that we didn't really have the chance to appreciate some of the places there. I hear there's hot springs there too which we didn't see. We could revisit there and spend the night there at the springs?" That seemed a good start. They wouldn't have to do the trials again since they'd already done them. Instead they could just go and enjoy exploring the new culture together which would be lovely really.
Henry perked up at the suggestion, nodding along the more Gaura spoke. It would be nice to be able to actually enjoy seeing the sights there. There was so much they didn't get to experience because of their participation in the trials.
Gaura smiled warmly, hearing the excitement in Henry's voice. He always loved how enthusiastic Henry could be about things that he was curious about or passionate about. It was wonderful.
"Let's arrange a time then. I'll see about finding a time when it won't be so busy at the nursery and we can explore."
He reached over to take Gaura's hand and squeezed it. He was trying to keep his composure but was practically vibrating in his seat. "Let me know when!" It was Gaura's schedule that was busier, so Henry would definitely wait to accommodate him.
"Let me wrap some things up with the nursery and then I'll be able to leave things for a couple days easily. So maybe...in a few days?" That would give him plenty of time to make sure things were arranged nicely.
