{Casts a protection spell around the Fae Garden to prevent anyone from entering} Nobody needs to see you like this. We're alone. Are you okay? Truly?

No. No, I'm still worried we're going to die....

{Touches your chest. Between your breasts now shines the same symbol you see on his} There, now I am with you. Should you ever need me. Just place your hand over your chest and call to me. And I'll be there with you. Even if you can't see me.

The stars above the fae garden glow brighter with the stary symbol on your chest. You feel his warmth flow through you. The fireflies seem to dance around him giving an even more magical glow to Araavos as he stands before you with a look of genuine concern and care in his eyes.

(she looks at Araavos. Small tears forming in her eyes. He's doing so much for her....Would Astarion do something like this?....He's not even here!...) Thank You....(she looks away for a moment. Crossing her arms a little) I'm sorry you had to see me like this....

{He wipes the tears from your eyes once more} Crying doesn't bother me, What matters is the reason for your your tears. Tell me, what's bothering you? Are you still worried about the camp? I assure you, I will protect you, you'll always be safe so long as you need me. Not that you will. You're tougher than you look you know.{gently punches your shoulder as if to reassure you} So tell me, what's bothering you?

(looking up at Araavos) I guess I'm not as worried about the bandit camp anymore...(she gives a slight smile before it drops) I'm glad you're here. Truly......but to be honest?....I wish Astarion cared enough to at least check on me....

{as he takes a couple steps back} I understand. {He takes a seat on the shore of the lake} You know, {as he stares out across the lake} I wish he would to. Anything to ease your pain. I could interfere, I could take away your pain, I could make him better, I could do all these things. But it wouldn't be real. So I won't. But know that so long as you suffer. {he gestures for you to sit} Then I'll suffer with you. Nobody should have to suffer alone.

(she sits down beside him. Tears gently falling down her face as she stares at the water)....I'm not suffering....I'm happy...(she says. Not even trying to lie. Just in extreme denial.)

If that were true {he conjures a tissue from astral silk, handing it to you} you wouldn't still be here... {he turns to face you, giving you a warm smile} Not that I'm not enjoying the company. Still, you know you can always be honest with me right? Of course to do that. {he stares across the water once more} You'll have to be honest with yourself first.

(takes the tissue and tries to wipe her tears...but they just keep coming)....He'll never love me as much as he loves himself....Will he?

Are you sure you're ready for that truth?

I don't think I'll ever be....but I think I'm too far to go back now...

No, he won't. Doesn't mean he doesn't care. Only that his priorities aren't aligned in the same way yours is. You'd go to the ends of the earth for him. He'd run. You're afraid to die for fear of losing him. Where as he's pratically immortal and death isn't a concern for him, neither is time. So he doesn't cherish each moment in the same way you do.

(tears fall once again. she takes a shaky breath as she tries to collect herself to speak)....Is there a way to show him?.....Make him change without devine intervention?....

Before I agree to do anything, know that it's you, who I worry about, not him. I do what I do. For you. No other. So I want you to ask yourself this. Is that what you truly want? And why? Do you want him to change? Or do you want him to want to change. Because one is selfish, and the other is just wishful thinking. So I'll ask you again {a sadness takes hold of his eyes} What is it you'd have me do?

I want him to want to change....I don't want to force him to do anything....That's cruel...

Then I will be here, waiting with you. Let's just hope it's sooner rather than later. You wanna hear a secret. The way to kill a god?........ You go for his heart. I can't ask honesty from you, without being honest myself. Seeing you like this... it breaks my heart. And it's killing me. You deserve to be happy. But since you want true happiness, I can not interfere. It has to come from him. So.... {he scoots a little closer, wiping your tears and offering you some fruit} you wait..... I wait...together.

(sighs)...You know....I'm done waiting....I want him to be so many things....I've given him so many chances....and now I know it's impossible for him to be the partner I deserve....

I'm sorry you have to go through that. Truly. But I am glad you're finally on the path to being happy.

(her head leans on his shoulder. Taking his hand in hers) I guess I just needed someone to give me the wake up call I needed....

I'll always be honest with you. And I'll always help you be honest with yourself.

(she thinks for a moment. Is this truly what'll make her happy?.....yes it is....She kisses his lips softly) Then I'll be honest with you....I can't believe I ignored it for so long...

{pulls away for a second because he knows you're vulnerable and could be making a mistake} You're always blind in the light of love. But just as easily, you can get lost in the darkness. Don't get me wrong, I care about you as well. A lot. But I won't take advantage of your weakness...

No...This is what I want....(gently pulls him close. Gazing into his eyes as she kisses him again) In fact, I don't think I'm blind anymore...(smiles)

{embraces you in his arms}

Astarion approaches the edge of the fae garden, his senses allows him to hear the conversation as he watches the events unfold with sadness, but yet... suprisingly a little joy..

Are you positive this is what you want? You already know about the others, about myself. Are you sure?

Who else would treat me as well as you do?....

I don't know about others. But I do know I'd never let you feel the way you did earlier. That I can promise. And if you'll have me, then I'd be honored to be in your life, {he takes some flowers, and mushrooms, a vine from your dress and a infusion of his power, with a sprinkle of stardust and forges a ring} In whatever form you choose...

I....(stares at the ring, then at Araavos) Don't you think it's a little fast? I mean, I meant like...dating...marriage seems a little much considering I'm already planning on breaking one off...Doesn't mean I don't want to!!...I do!...Just not now....

Then you don't have to. {he places the ring in your hand instead of on your finger} But when you're ready, when you decide, not I, not anyone, you. When you decide to wear it. I'll be here waiting. But I'm not one to really go on dates. I don't fancy shopping or a lot of the silly things. But I can do dinners, I can fancy a good show. But you know what I can do? I can protect you, I can love you, I can care about you. I can snuggle on a cold night, I can comfort you when you're alone or scared, I can be there for you, when you're not even sure you're there for yourself. These things I can do, these things I will do. These things I promise you{he closes your hand around the ring} Keep the ring. do with it whatever feels right, when it feels right. No pressure.

Okay....but...questions? Just a few...

Of course.

The multiple wives thing? Is there ever...jealousy? Or anything like that?....I'm not entirely sure about an open relationship...I only agreed to one with Astarion because he would've been upset if I didn't...I'm just curious about all of it...

No. Because each one knows that they are all the most important thing to me. Each and every one of them. I don't favor one or the other. Each one is unique, and is treated as such. Some prefer alone time, some are ok with shared time, some want both. I always provide. Because I want them to be happy. They've even bonded with each other. Right now, the others understand that I'm with you right now, that it's you that has my attention and that right now, you need it. Some are having fun with others, some are reading, some are sleeping. The point is, they all have their own lives as well. I make no demands of anyone, and they don't of me. It's that mutual understanding and love that unites us. That you can be a part of.

You wouldn't expect anything from me?....Nothing at all?....

Just honesty. With them, with yourself, with me.. Other than that? No. Do what you will, with who you will, when you will it.

I don't know....Are you sure you don't do dates? I don't care for shopping either, but maybe something simple like a walk through the woods once in a while?....I mean, that's not really a date, but it's nice....

Truthfully, if you want to do something, and you want to do it with me. Then it's something I'm going to want to do for you.

...(puts the ring on her finger) Promise that what happened before won't happen with you?....

And what's that my love?

What happened with Astarion....leaving me here alone...

Sweetheart. I assure you, The very cosmos themselves couldn't distance me enough to not be there when you need me.

(tears up from happiness as she hugs him tightly) I love you...also, I liked the nickname Lily Pad you gave me...

I thought you didn't so I wasn't gonna use it, but alright. Lily Pad it is.

I'd live here if I could. (Laughs a little) No, I'm just joking. This place is too small to fit a bed or even a small shack.

Good thing the Demiplane is an entire realm unto it's own. Most have only seen a small part of it. However. If you prefer a more open area. I can arrange that for you when you get there. But for tonight. {he weaves together bedding of flowers, vines, and the softest fur} Will this do?

(in shock) This will do just fine, Araavos....thank you so much....

{Lays down on the makeshift bed}

(lays down next to him)

{waves his hand, dismissing his clothes, as your natural clothing unweaves it'self from your body and becomes part of the bed} There, that's better... {as he embraces you}

(Giggles softly as she embraces him as well.)

{gently stokes your hair} And don't let that lizard call your hair moss. It's beautiful, you're beautiful{he kisses you} Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Moss is beautiful. He just doesn't see nature the way I do...

I see the beauty in all things. Some just need a better look. {he pulls you in closer, you can hear his lungs fill with air. You can feel his heart beating. You can feel his chest on yours. His arms wrapped around you}

I don't mind the lizard-s remarks though. Besides, moss is good for the ecosystem. At least he's saying I'm useful. (She jokes as she rests her head against his chest.)

{letting you lay there, getting comfortable} As long as you don't mind.

You know....You've done so much for me....(climbs on top of him) Let me do something for you....(starts riding him)

{places his hands on your hips and waist as his breath becomes heavier}

(puts her hands on his chest as she starts to bounce on top of him.)

{continues to enjoy you as he helps by thusting up as you bounce down}

(breathing heavily, she keeps going. Bouncing with him as he's thrusting)

{Sits up, you still on his cock as you continue to rock into him since you can't bounce. He wraps his arms around you, his head between your breasts as he kisses you and holds you against him}

(she wraps his arms around him as she continues. Her breathing getting heavier)

{kisses your breasts, your neck, your lips, passion in his eyes as he appears to be peering into your very soul}

(as she begins approaching the climax, she returns the favor. Kissing him all over as well.)

{breathing, kissing, sucking your neck and breasts intensify{

(after a while of this, she eventually releases onto his cock)

{releases into you then lies down on his back motioning for you to join him}

(Lays on top of him)

{kisses you passionately as he waits for you to finally succomb to slumber}

(falls asleep on top of him)
