The more Lunaris thought about it, the more he was convinced that they'd need to create molds for the fancier designs... but perhaps they could carve the wax while it was still warm. He'd have to speak with the other artisans about their own processes to find the best approach. The more engrossed he became his new plans, the less he remembered that they'd been in the middle of eating. This was probably why, more than anything, Aris was on the more slender side. It tended to be difficult for him to focus on mundane tasks such as nourishing himself.
"Thank you, dearest," he said, a bright smile curving his lips at his lover's words. Draven was nothing if not kind to him, a fact that he more than appreciated. "I appreciate that. I know that I can count on you." And then, as if by magic, he found himself gazing into Draven's eyes as though he hadn't just been totally absorbed by thoughts of candle making. "Do you have any idea of what you'd want any candles to look like?" he inquired, reaching out to take Draven's nearest hand.

Oooh! Oh, that idea captured Lunaris's vivid imagination quite splendidly. "Oh yes! How perfect! Yes, of course, that is what we must do! Oh, and we could model some other candles off of other spirits... and perhaps when we take them to the markets, we can get some new scents..." If not for the reminder to eat, Aris would have gone right back into daydream land, where so many of his ideas were kindled. Blushing slightly at his lover's gentle chiding, the centaur hastened to nibble away at his meal with greater effort.
Draven always seemed to know when he needed corralling. "Very well," he said, knowing when he'd been beaten. "You do have a point." Even if he was a little embarrassed that he'd needed the reminder! Ah, but what was love without a few of these little quirks? "But suppose I want you to come over here and feed me?" Aris asked, cheekily. His eyes were lit with a hint of mirth and gentle teasing. Though he did manage to get a few more bites in.

Draven chuckled more and felt heat rise to his own cheeks. Aris always had a way of making him blush when not much else seemed too. "Well, perhaps there can be dessert." he simply said with a wink, leaning back to take another sip of his drink and finish off the last bit of his meal himself.
He had to admit, however, that his mind was also swirling with ideas now. Whenever Aris was motivated, it seemed to be infectious and he himself couldn't help but feel it as well. "On the morrow, swear by it, We'll head out and gather whatever we need. And perhaps we'll find more ideas as we browse?" he mused, and as he finished and pushed his plate aside, he took a moment to just rest his chin in his palms, leaning his elbows on the table to just admire his lovely mate across from him.

Somewhere along the way, Lunaris had managed to get himself quite tangled in words... and completely by accident. He blushed a deep amaranthine hue, glancing away for a moment because he couldn't meet Draven's gaze. Oh my. Well... it wasn't that he wasn't... Er. "You are positively diabolical sometimes," he said with a slight hint of flustered exasperation, but it was clear that he wasn't angry or upset with Draven. Just... shy. How he could be shy after all of this time was anyone's guess.
When Draven spoke again, Aris brightened, glancing back at him with a smile. "Really, do you mean it?" The very next day! Oh, what a lovely thought! Oh, he couldn't wait to get his hands on some new materials. Maybe he'd bring some of his own wares to the market and get what they needed on trade. If he was lucky. Although, admittedly, it tended to be his mate making those trades more often than not, but he could supply the .. well, supplies. "That sounds perfect." More than perfect, really, and Aris quite gave up clearing his plate. By this time it was evident that he'd never manage to do that, as excited as he was.
