After A Little Bit of Time Nio and Hua arrive at the Hot Springs.

*Landing on the edge just near the water. Looking around* Hello?

*Looking behind her to make sure Nio is there*

*lands behind her, removing his clothes* Now you gon tell me what dis be about?

I'll just show you.. Just promise not to freak out too much.. *She said. before turning back to the water* If you're still here... you can come out now.

22:00

Come meet your Son..

*was sitting in the hot spring*

Son? You mean? You found him? Dat's him?!

Hello Nio..

But... how? when? What? *starts getting dizzy* I need ta sit down... and a drink....

*orders a couple mixed fruit drinks*

How did you know?

Just had a feeling.

*turns to Hua* Okay talk.....cause I be confused. *starts sipping his drink*

Well.. *Finally Getting undressed herself and stepping in also.* After You asked me about it the last time.. I Knew you wouldn't let it go.. So... I.. Took the one thing He left behind Besides you.. *Handing him the Feather she had kept* A Single Feather.. And Went to the Place you were concieved. in hopes maybe it would give me a sign or.. Something i could do would Bring him here... And it Did.. It Started to Glow when i went in a certain direction. and got brighter the closer i got. And sure enough. and to my surprise.. He appeared..

22:08

And we talked a bit.. *Turning to Araavos now* And At this time. if you're still wondering.. We're not.. Sure where we stand.. It's been a long time. and Love has always been the last thing on my mind... But I did this For you more than anything... You needed your father, Nio... So.. Here he is..

I.. wanted it for you too. I hear you ever night motha. You may not worry during the day yeah, but I hear your heart sing at night... *turns to Araavos* I just wanna kno one ting, yeah. Why'd ya go?

Because she didn't want me here, or, at least that wasn't discussed, she wanted you, Nio. She just wanted someone she could trust to help her bring you to this world. I won't say it was transactional, I care very much for your mother, but it wasn't what she was looking for at the time, perhaps not even now.

*turns to Hua* You made him leave?

Nio, no, she didn't make me leave, she just simply didn't ask me to stay. It's not her fault, Nio. It's nobodies fault. It just wasn't there, or if it was, she wasn't ready. You should respect that.

Then why hide it yea?

Because i'm not exactly the easiest to find, and even harder to explain. I'm sure she had her reasons, Nio, but those reasons are hers, and hers alone.

I don't understand.

What i Thought i wanted.. i Discovered too late wasn't Truly what i needed, Nio.. As i lay in that Hammock with him after the fact. Exhausted. Looking at him. I could *Feel* Something.. Something deep. Something more than i Thought i would.. But i wasn't sure if it was Love.. Or if it was just.. The moment and the Exhaustion.. I had wanted to speak to him about it the next morning but... When i awoke he.. was Already gone.. And the Pain i felt.. The Anger.. It.. Wasn't so much for him as it was myself.. All the Resentment and Regret i felt I aimed at Him was... More for myself.. I just could never admit to it.. and I kept the feather because. It's all i had left to remind me of him.. Until i had you.. And you... You look so much like him.. It reminded me every day what Could have been.. What I... We.. Both Lost..

22:23

But do i Truly *Regret* What had been done? of course not.. I got the best son any mother could ever wish for from it.. My only True Regret is.. Realizing too late what could have been.

But it's not too late, yeah? He's here? You wanted him to come, and he did. You been da best mutha anyone could ask for yeah, but i not be a child no more, ya job be over now. I tink it's about time ya be focused on you now yea? *trying not to stare at her, his first time being here, with her, is sorta jarring*

Nothing is ever too late Nio. But I won't force anything either. It's all up to her.

Whadda ya say mom? Give him a chance yea? *trying to lower himself into the water to make things less obvious*

2

*Looks at Araavos* I... *She sighs* Alright.. I'll Give it another Chance...

Good, great, sounds good yea, so, maybe we go get dinner or someting yea? In fact, i'll go let him Hala know, *starts to stand* on second thought you two go on ahead, i'll catch up later I tink...

*not unobservant, eyes him carefully* Have you never seen her like this?

What? no?! I not, be... mind ya business!

We don't hide that where i'm from, so, that's you're issue, but you may wanna talk about that....

There be noting to talk about!

Whatever you say...

*sits and places his hands over it*

*Raises a brow* Talk about what? *Turns to Nio* Nio what's the Matter?

NOTHING!!!!

*nods slightly in it's direction*

It's noting!

Hm? Oh. Oh! Nio My dear son it's okay. I'm sorry i didn't.. really think.. Gosh it's been Many years since i bathed with you when you were very young. You wouldn't remember and i suppose i looked a little different then. Sweetheart it's alright really. I'm not going to judge you for a natural reaction to Seeing a Woman nude. Even if it's me. *She said. And Stood up* Though. We should be going home soon. It is Late and i wouldn't want anyone else to worry...

*seeing her stand up "fuck!!!"* Not helping mom....

i'll say.

If it makes you feel Any Better Dear... I'm Flattered. For the longest time i was convinced my Body was no longer desirable to Men.

22:40

Thank you for da boost of confidence *She teased a bit*

Trust me dat not be da issue.....

Kid has a good eye!

Gross yea, dat be my mom...

Not that gross. points to it

DAD!!!!

Relax, again, not a problem for me.

What dat supposed ta mean?! Wait, I dun wanna know, wait, do I? What dat supposed ta mean?

Exactly what it sounds like, love is love son...Isn't that what the Pua believe?

Well, yeah, but I don tink dis be what dey had in mind?

And what, "this" are you referring to?

trapped, sits back down Hmm? picks up his drink Oh, look at dat yeah? Be rude not to finish it.. starts chugging it

Leave the Poor Boy alone. Let's go. *She rolled her eyes and chuckled a bit* You'll catch up to us Soon right Nio?

After a few dozen showas, yeah, maybe...

Me leave him alone, you two are the ones not talking about it. *opens a portal* See ya back at the village. *steps through and back to the small island off the coast to fly in from there*

Not gon talk bout it neither.... *crosses his arms*

I don't feel there's anything to talk about. It's just a natural reaction a male has to seeing a nude and Usually attractive female. No shame in it son.. See you home soon *She said. And Started putting her clothing back on*

You're my mom! It not supposed ta be... nevermind... turn around yea?

*shrugs and Does as requested. Respecting her son's Boundaries. he is grown after all. And Once she was done getting dressed. She Took off to head back to Pua.*

*quickly dresses, looking down, "you're in trouble", then takes off after her*

Eventually they All Arrive at Pua. Hide Araavos in their Hut and Turn in Before the Dinner Dance is Over.
