"I'm back!" Ruby barely walked through the threshold when she was greeted by a tackle, nearly stumbling over her own feet from the impact. "It's nice to know I've been missed." She chuckled playfully at the smaller woman tightly hugging her, returning the strong embrace with a gentler one of her own.

Penny looked up with bright eyes, excitement evident in her smile and voice. "Ruby! Welcome home." She loosened her hold on the huntress, who took both of her hands in her own and placed soft kisses on her knuckles. "It's good to be home." Ruby smiled down at her, and was then pulled into a brief kiss.

As Ruby removed her boots and hung her cloak on the nearby coat rack Penny skipped further into the home, giggling all the way. Ruby trailed after her, being led to the kitchen where Penny was in the middle of preparing a meal.

Penny was happily humming as she moved about the kitchen, a soothing sound to Ruby's ears. After going for so many days listening to the cacophony of Grimm and her own weapon, it was relaxing to hear something so soft.

It didn't take long for the food to be prepared. Ruby helped where she could and was often batted away by Penny when trying to "taste test" the food to see if it was ready. They spoke of many things over their meal. Mainly topics revolving around Ruby's hunting trip and the few things Penny had experienced while she was gone.

Afterwards, once they cleaned the dishes and Ruby took a shower, they settled into bed. Though daylight still lingered outside, they felt content to lay in the other's embrace. Penny rested her head against Ruby's chest, listening to the steady rhythm of her heart beat, while Ruby lazily toyed with Penny's curly locks of hair and occasionally placing a kiss atop her head.

Basking in each other's warmth it didn't take long for slumber to overcome them, Ruby being the first to fall under as her soft snores were evidence of that. Penny smiled once more, nuzzling further against the other woman before drifting off soon after.
