Rolf had been planning for this for a bit, as secretly as possible, of course. Rose was especially keen and it always tickled him to be able to get something past her, especially a good surprise. He thought he’d succeeded, but he wasn’t certain. He’d gotten a recommendation for this place from someone he knew who was hoping to take his girlfriend there one day, and so he’d decided to give it a try.

He’d even made arrangements to get the wiggles there – the term had stuck with him, especially since he was still wary of saying the word dog too much around Rose – as well as Bast, of course, who at this point wasn’t going to leave her charges. She was especially protective of Rose’s wiggle, knowing, he was sure, that it was special to Rose, who she cared about.

The cakes were here, and the presents, and he rather thought a retreat away from everything would be a great thing. He loved going out with her, but he thought staying in and spending the time together was just the ticket this time. He hoped she agreed. This place was supposed to be beautiful, and he looked forward to spending time there with her.

A while ago, Rose had gotten the impression that Rolf was going to take her somewhere today. She still wasn’t quite sure why, because though he had done something for her birthday every year she had known him, it still felt odd to have it remembered like this. It was just different from remembering Dennis’ birthday or Rolf’s. But while she had somewhat figured out that they were going somewhere, she didn’t know where. She had been tempted – oh, so incredibly tempted – to start looking around, and she knew Rolf so well – maybe too well, some would claim – that it would have been almost too easy to figure that out. Of course, Rolf knew her every bit as well as she knew him, so maybe it would have been all that much easier to keep it hidden from her.

What did surprise her, though, was that he had made arrangements for the wiggles to come along, and even more surprising that she found this to be a comfort, because as much work as they were, Rose found herself longing to get back to Ant whenever she had been at work for a full day. That wiggle was just about the cutest thing she could imagine, and she was eternally grateful that Bast was as good and concerned surrogate as she was, when Rose couldn’t be around.

Another thing that surprised her was where they were going. Not that Finland was a surprise – Rolf knew all kinds of amazing places all over the world – but the place. The glass igloos were amazing, and that was only from what she had seen during the dull daylight. She couldn’t imagine what it would be like when it was completely dark…

“This place is fantastic!” she gushed, turning around to look up at Rolf, Ant comfortably snuggled against her chest, right where she preferred him. Especially while they were travelling. “How do you even know this place?”

Rolf smiled down at her, dropping a kiss on her upturned face and gently running a finger down Ant's soft back. He could have found babysitters for the wiggles, but if he were honest, once he was invested in a litter, he worried a lot when they were apart from him. Besides, he'd known Rose would feel similarly about Ant, who he had a feeling would be her familiar, and he had wanted both of them to be happy and relaxed for the day.

"I heard about it from someone who plans on bringing his girlfriend here someday," he said with a smile. He was thrilled that she liked his choice, and that he had managed to surprise her. Though admittedly he'd banked heavily on how distracted she'd been by the wiggles ever since they'd found them. If she'd really looked, it wouldn't have been hard to find -- this time.

"The Northern Lights are supposed to be spectacular up here, and it's still an excellent time of year for it," he told her. "And I'm selfish, I wanted to spend time with just you this weekend." Well, the wiggles and Bast didn't count completely, though of course they'd have a portion of their attention too.

Pursing her lips, Rose met Rolf’s kiss and smiled up at him. Even at home, they didn’t really have to restrain themselves. If Dennis was home it was only a matter of closing the door and the sound proofing wards would keep things quiet outside the room. But being away from home, alone like this… there was just something special about it, something freeing, freer, that when they were back in London. “Mmm, somebody’s got a lucky girlfriend!” she chirped, and kissed the top of Ant’s head. “And someone’s boyfriend’s going to get very lucky, isn’t he?” Crouching down by the puppy bed, she set the squirming Ant down to his siblings and let Bast take over the parenting for a while. The wiggles really were getting bigger and were not just wriggling but outright climbing back and forth across each other.

“Northern lights?” Looking back up at Rolf she got back up and went to stand in front of him. Until now she hadn’t been aware of just how far north they were, but if there really were northern lights here. “You mean, we don’t have to freeze our arses off to see them?” Biting her lip, she tugged playfully on the front of his shirt and cast a glance at the bed that was right in the middle of the room and then up to the glass roof above them before she looked back up at the sexiest man she knew. “As in, we can be warm and cosy and still see them?”

Rolf chuckled deeply. "Well, that wasn't the intention, but so long as my girlfriend is happy," he said, looping his arms loosely around her. "Though of course I never turn down a chance to get lucky with you." He waggled his eyebrows comically. He released her and watched the puppies crawl over each other. They were growing so fast, but all three were thriving now. Between his and Rose's feedings and vigiliance and Bast's careful oversight, nothing more had happened to the poor abandoned things.

"Exactly! That's the thing that this place is known for -- being warm and cosy while being able to watch one of the most spectacular natural light shows on earth." He loved such things. But then, nature had fascinated him his entire life, in all its forms and wonders. "The only arse freezing we have to do is if we have to leave the bed for some reason and we haven't set the temperature right." He grinned.

“Nuh, uh,” Rose shook her head. “No arse freezing,” she claimed with a grin, mirroring Rolf’s eyebrow-waggle as she pulled him down for a lazy kiss. “No,” she murmured and brushed a kiss to his lips, “arse,” another kiss, “freezing.” Casting a quick glimpse at the wiggles and noting they were settling down and looking very content, a warm, giddy feeling filled her. Licking her lips, she slowly shrugged off her jacket, letting it fall to the floor and her clad simply in the dragon hide pants Rolf had given her for Christmas and a black tank top. “Maybe we should…” a mischievous glint sparkled in her eyes, as she nodded towards the bed, “try…”

Dealing a quick kiss to Rolf, she quickly slipped passed under his arm and made a leap onto the bed with a delighted shriek. Rose propped herself up on her elbow, and pulled out the drawer in the nightstand to find what she was looking for: a menu. “…the menu,” she grinned and began scanning through. “Uhm…” There was one minor problem though. “How good is your Finnish?”

Rolf chuckled deep in his throat, reaching after her and laughing again when he just barely missed. He pounced onto the bed next to her, fitting back against her as she pulled out the menu. Tease, he thought fondly, and pressed his lips to her neck as he peered over her shoulder.

He pulled his wand and tapped a corner of the menu, shifting it into an English translation. They were on the wizarding end of things, though there was a portion of the place for Muggles as well. He liked dual places like this, though he knew it was likely hard to run at times.

"Mmmm, berries," he said, looking at a few of the selections.

Rose purred contently, tilting her head to bare her throat to Rolf and hopefully keep his kisses coming. “Ooh, nifty!” she grinned, when he changed the language on the menu. While not a stranger to travelling, it was only recently that her travels had started taking on a more luxurious angle. Otherwise she had been staying in the homes of friends or colleagues, or more often in work camps or hostels while on a mission. That is, unless they were simply assigned a sleeping bag and a general rest-area.

“Mmm, kisses,” Rose smiled as she too perused menu. “We have to try that one… the lingonberry porridge…” she squinted slightly to make sense of the Finnish name; “Vis- Vispipuuro?” Rolling slightly against Rolf, rubbing up closer against him, she looked up at him. “Or chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate that we can work off… “

Rolf let his lips roam gently over her skin as he peered over her shoulder. He loved places like this; while he knew how to rough it very well, when he went traveling for things over than his job, he liked to have nice things. He was relatively fluid when it came to accommodations, but he wasn't going to take Rose anywhere but the best, unless they were camping out.

He smiled against her neck and wrapped an arm comfortably around her middle. "That Vipipuuro looks like a good breakfast thing." Much tastier than regular porridge, in his thoughts. "Or even dessert." Berries were always tasty and they seemed to feature heavily in Finnish cuisine, if his light research was right. Normally he'd do more, but they wouldn't be here more than a few days, so it wasn't needed for now. "Chocolate, that is good too... I can think of many ways to work that off." He smirked at her. "And it'll be good to snack on when the light goes down and the other lights start to appear."

Rose purred contently, still moving her head to keep Rolf’s kisses coming. She could feel his smile against her skin, or maybe she just knew him so well to know that when his breathing changed that tiny fraction, it was because he was smiling. That had her smiling, too, because Rolf smiling was a sight she would never get tired of.

“Breakfast?” she grinned, rolling back against Rolf’s firm frame until she could look up at him. “Are we really going to stick to that protocol? Breakfast in the morning and dinner in the evening?” Pursing her lips into a pretty pout she batted her eyelashes at him. “No breakfast for dinner this weekend?”

Rolf chuckled. "Well, I believe I could be convinced to put things out of their proper order for this weekend," he teased in a faux prim voice. "We can get the porridge now and the chocolate later. Or all at once! Anything for my Rosie!" Besides, with her looking at him with that pouting expression, he would admit that he found her terribly hard to resist. Her eyes were just the right shade to really tug at him, not that they wouldn't anyway; this was Rose, after all.
