The next Morning

*Woke up fairly early With a jolt, panicking and looking around for Araavos only to see he was still there. Sighing with relief*

16:11

*Sitting up in bed rubbing her forehead*

bad dream?

Huh? Oh.. No Just... didn't expect you to be here when I woke up...

you asked me to stay, and I want to. So here I am.

*She smiled a little* Thank you.. *She said before getting up and going to Tend to Makana* (edited)

*waking up in Nio's arms with a yawn. she looks over at her partner. smiling. she gently strokes his head* Morning...

*Once she's done taking care of Makana and has a few things to play with for a bit. She heads out to go for a stroll on the beach*

*still out cold swats it away thinking it's a fly or something* (edited)

*joins her*

*chuckles softly* Alright... *Gets up. And heads out. Deciding to let him sleep*

*After walking in silence for a minute* so.. the feather... you left it on purpose?..

I did

I never expected it to be the key to finding you again.. I just.. hoped somehow something would work..

*deciding to rest by the shore, as she usually does every morning nowadays*

*comes running at the sea with her spear* DIE FISHIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (edited)

truth be told it's not the feather it's the person wielding it. It's just there to show you the way. The key was your own heart.

My heart just wanted my- Our.. son, to have closure.... he needed to meet you.. he never stopped talking about you.. but I thought he.. and I were better off without you after so long...

20:39

Maybe I was wrong... but maybe it's also too late. I don't know... I'm not a young woman anymore. I haven't had the need to even consider any relationships a possibility.

20:46

Did you truly love me back then?.. despite.. our agreement... and do you still love me now despite not being the woman you knew before?

of course I did, and still do, the question is, will you let me this time?

I'm willing to give it a try.. *She said with a small smile. Carefully reaching her hand out to him. Offering for him to take it*

*does just that* So, you hungry? Breakfast should be starting soon.

Very, Actually.

come on. *starts leading her to the gathering area.* (edited)

*Blushing a little as they go that way. Running her thumb across his knuckles. Feeling the familiar sensation of his warmth and touch she'd all but forgotten so long ago*

*Awake and helping Hala prepare breakfast*

*still just enjoying the ocean. Sort of worried why Nio is sleeping in, but writing it off as he was just tired. last night was pretty overwhelming.*

*had smelled the food and is now heading to get his morning smoothie while he waits*

*looks over at him and waves before walking over* Morning Sleepyhead.

it not be morning till I finish my smoothie yea? Breakfast smells good eh? How much longer ya tink?

Probably not long. *she says as she gets herself a smoothie as well. sipping it*

good ya?

*Seeing Araavos and Hua coming over and waving to them* Hey! Breakfast is almost done.

*wraps his arms around Hua* that's okay, we're not in a hurry.

Really good. Especially the mango.

mango? *looks disgusted* what is wrong with you?

O.... Oh.....

*Tensing up. Suddenly feeling Butterflies in her stomach as he does. Catching her by surprise.* *"Oh My Feathers Hua get a grip of yourself you're acting like a Teenager with a crush!"*

*the facade cracks as he starts laughing* just messin wit ya, mango be one of my favorites too.

*narrows eyes* Jerk. *She says, but there's no weight behind it. She's just messing with him back*

well I guess da weddings off den whew, dats a relief... *wiped his brow with a huge shit eating grin on his face*

Wait what?! You can't just... I'm sorry!

yea ya betta be.... come on. I smell da food heavy in da air now eh?

No no, don't change the subject just yet..... You actually want to marry me?

I'm not against da idea. But Time be moving fast yea? Can we slow down and be wit each otha witout all day fussin about it?

No, you're right.... I wonder what Hala made

If it be smelling dat good, I don care yea? *starts heading towards the gathering area*

*follows him*

> [Reply to](): @Araavos (<@!174680819565068288>) > *wraps his arms around Hua* that's okay, we're not in a hurry. *looking between the two* Sooo i take it you're doing alright this morning then

*laughing with Araavos* Come on, that's not fair, you have ta tell ol Hala how you've not aged a day in 24 years..

Maybe one day old friend.

*Replying to Onyx* So far so good.. Yep.. Definitely.. *Taking a seat now to wait a little before she gets food. Debating going to get a smoothie for herself*

*turns towards Onyx* We're doing just fine. How are you and the rest holding up?

Pretty well Actually. Though I told Yuray i'd hang out with her sometime today so. Probably after we eat.

How is she doing by the way?.... I still want us all to be on good terms....

Could ask her yourself.. I think she's coming over to get some food now.

*turns in that direction* Oh! Hey Yuray, over here yea?

*walks over nervously* Yes?

Come, have breakfast yea?

Alright... *takes a bowl for herself and sits down*

*Grabs himself some also and Sits next to her. Nudging her shoulder* Got no fight left in you huh? I guess that's a good thing but. a little Feistiness doesn't hurt...

I was desperate.... lonely.... But that doesn't excuse being a bully....

Glad you learned your Lesson... I guess i can tolerate you now after all.. *He teased, His new favorite thing is messing with her just to annoy her. he finds her expressions Hilariously adorable*

1

*smiles a little* Big talk for a walking carpet.... *she teases a little*

Hey my fur would make a Better carpet than The ones you guys have. Not that they aren't nice. Just a little... Prickly.

*Just eating her food now. half listening to everyone else*

My favorite carpets, are usually under covers.

*nearly chokes.... again*

*whispers to Hua* Is he always like this?

Why do you think Nio exists?

23:51

He's just being Tame right now.

....I rest my case

23:52

....WAIT THIS IS "TAME"?!

Most here still have clothes on, so yes...

I gotta go get a refill... *gets up and starts heading to the bar*

*Snickering a bit*

And there he goes.....

*"think of somting else, anyting else, your mom's not hot, yes she is, no she's not, fuck, fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck"*

*noticing, she walks over. putting a hand on his shoulder* Everything okay? You look.....tense

*jumps a bit, then turns back around grabbing his drink* Yep, just needed a refill...

You sure that's ALL you have on your mind?.....

I could go get us some drinks too if you'd like.. I am Thirsty myself.. *Looking to Araavos. waiting for his reply*

Alright, sounds good.

*Nods. and gets up. setting her bowl down and going To the bar to find something he may like first*

*sees her approaching out the corner of his eye, and was already thinking it after Araavos mentioned it, and is now pressed agains the bar trying to remove the image, and hide his excitement of it, and answering Twyla, though his voice cracks a bit* Yep....

*Noticing the two and Waving as she goes past them to get the drinks* Hey You two Lovebirds.. You doing okay?.. Nio you don' be lookin' so good.

Right? he's been off all night!

It's morning, they're still eating breakfast..... And i'm fine yea?, *scooting closer to the bar*

Hm. Maybe A Tonic will help. *Starts making an extra drink for him once she finished her and Araavos's*

*cups his cheek* Love, if something is bothering you, you know you can tell any one of us, right?.... You worry me...

You want some more food Yuray?

Sure!

*gets up to get Her a bit more*

I'm fine.... really... I just wanted a drink yea?

*Having himself a little bit more after giving Yuray hers*

*Looking at him Skeptically. She has a sneaking suspicion as to what's going on. but she'll have to talk to him in private about it later. So instead she just leaves without another word. taking Araavos his Drink*

*pauses*.......*sighs* Fine. I won't pry any further....But don't keep this bottled up too long, okay?

There be no bottle, bottle empty, no bottle.. I'm gonna go lay down for a bit, I need to train for the race later... I'll see you soon okay? Den we go talk to your parents, as promised yea? *grabs his drink and finishes it, before heading into his hut to calm down* (edited)

Oh! Okay! I'll see-- *watching him leave* --you.....later...... *she starts to think she might be the problem. stressing him out with all this going on at once*....

*goes back to join the others*

*takes the drink* Everything okay? *knowing she really went over there to check on him*

It doesn't seem like it.. I may need to talk to him later.

Well, he just took off into the house by himself. *nodding in the direction of the hut, which if she turned around quick enough would just catch him entering*

Huh? *Turning around. Noticing him disappearing through the doorway. and then looking back to Araavos* Hm. Odd...

I'm starting to think....I might be stressing him out....overwhelming him.....pushing him away.....

I doubt that's the case. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Then why does he seem so stressed right now?....I want to him help him, but he won't tell me what's wrong....

Men are Complicated.

You can say that again.

Then what are you?

I guess... *sighs* I just wish I knew how to make him feel better....

Shush before I pluck out one of your feathers instead *She jokingly threatened Araavos*

Maybe you can talk to him, Hua? He is alone....

I'm not sure he'll want to talk to me right now but.. I guess I could try.

Thank you...

*Getting up and heading off to the hut*

*face down in the downy, groaning*

*Entering and Knocking on his door* Nio? Can I come in?

eugh..mmffrrmm.. mmmhmmmm

I'll take that as a yes. *She said as she slowly pushed his door open*

*still laying there face burried*

*Sitting on the bed next to him* Alright what be botherin' ya?

*rolls over and it's hard, hands over his face*

Oh.. Nio dear.. uncover your face.. and talk to me.. tell me how you're feeling and why..

I saw you at da hot springs....and den today he be talking about naked, and den me tink about... well dat *he gestures towards it*

Oh Son.. I told you you don't have to be ashamed. It's my fault. I didn't really think about it at the time but.. it perfectly natural for your body to have this reaction to that.. here.. I could possibly have more clothes made for me that covers up a lot more if that'd make ya more comfortable?

No... *rolling his eyes, sitting up, knees to his chest as he hangs his head between them* I dunno, I just... Mom... what if I liked it...

....Then... You're just like your father...

02:20

And.. and that's okay. That's something we can navigate together.. now with him to help..

Oh fuck.... we gotta bring him in to dis too? You sure?

He could help more than I can.. he understands this. Knows more about how to handle it and help you through it and figure out what we should do. (edited)

Fine..... *sighs* go get him den..

*Nods and heads just outside the door and calls to Araavos* ARAAVOS! Come over here!

*to Hala and the crowd* Excuse me... *stands up and heads over to the hut*

oh no.....

*Looking back over her shoulder to check on Nio while she waits*

*still sitting there*

*approaches Hua* What's this about? He alright?

He's having... guy problems... and very conflicting feelings about it.

02:35

I told him you'd be the best to talk to about it.

*lowers his head a bit* Told you... Come on, you should be here too... *heads inside*

*Following him in and shutting the doors behind them*

So your mom tells me you're having mixed feelings about some things... Wanna talk about that?

If I say no, would it just cause ya to spend da next 10 minutes explaining why I should? Cause I tink I skip dat part and just go "sure"

*Just standing there to let them talk for now*

*chuckles* Probably, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. So, I assume this is about your mom. Am I right?

How da?!?!?! Right... god... whateva dat means.... Yeah...

Well, that's a start, so let's do this, let's seperate some of those feelings so we can adress them one at a time hmm? Let's start with just one thought, just one, any one, pluck it out and let it loose.

It's wrong.

Is it? How did it feel when you shared yourself with Twyla.

Good...

Beyond that, go deeper.

Close... I... felt close...

Are you not close with your mom?

I love her more dan anyting.

1

*"Aw..."*

Do you feel the same way about her, as you do Twy.

I love twy, but... no, I just got wit twy, i've been wit her me whole life yea, Just us...

Just you... So... another thought..

I... kinda liked... the way she looked?

That's natural too, attraction has no rules...

But it's my mom yeah, she probably tink me sick in da head, maybe I am sick in da head...

Who gets to decide that?

*Looking at Nio. Sitting on the edge of the bed now*

i dont know. Everybody?

Any Tribe on Xexia.

11:40

It's wrong to most. I haven't heard of it not being wrong until you came.

ya see! I be sick in da head

no, just long ago before your people were even a society a bunch of people gathered around and figured they would be the ones everyone else will listen to. Through cohesion or force leadership got established and that leadership decided the rules you'll live by. We, as in us God's, had nothing to do with it. Some gods will have virtues they hold dear and will pass those on to deciples but that's about the extent of our involvement. (edited)

*Nodding because she's already heard this before.*

okay but.

but what? Nio, you and Hua here need to make a choice. Do you allow others to decide what you feel is right or wrong, or do you live your own lives, and decide for yourselves? There is no right or wrong answer. Only your belief, and who gets to decide what that belief will be. *placing his hand on his shoulder* but now she knows how you feel. And you have some thinking to do, and something to talk about. *stands* I'll leave you too it. I'll be right outside. *heads into the common room*

*Watching him go. And then turning to Nio* I believe he's also forgetting Twyla's involvement.. you have a new partner and children coming into the world. Even if we decided that maybe it would be okay to explore. We have to talk to Twyla about it. And Ancestors knows how she'd react..

do we, should we, I don't know.... I... *starts shaking it's so conflicting* I kinda want to but I dont know if I should want to now. What if it makes things weird. What if he's right and it's fine what if twyla leaves me? I dont know what to do mom. Or worse, I get rejected by my own mom yea?

Oh Nio... *She gets closer to him. Lifting his head up and onto her lap so she can run her fingers through his hair like she always did when he was small and upset about something.* I would never reject you... No matter what. If this is something you really do think you'd like to explore. I'm willing to give it a try.

you are? You Don think me sick?

Well... a little but.. everyone is sick in their own ways. I'm going to support you. You just take after your father. And that okay. Maybe it isn't a bad thing after all but. Will have to keep it secret yea?

12:10

Well besides Twyla. She should be the first to know, and you know you will have to tell her.

can't it wait till we know? What if we both no like it?

You told your Woman if you showed any interest in anyone else at all She'd know about it immediately... so before we even think to try anything.. you need to talk to her, son.

okay, but I meant anyone else. I didn't think of dis yea?

You still made a promise. It still counts Nio. .

*groans* fine..... go get her too yea? While I still be here... or try to push it out later.

want me to go get her? *he calls from the other room, thin walls*

Yes please!

*heads out to go get Twyla*

*looks over. Snacking on some fruit*

hey, grab a drink, or two, and follow me. And, try not to freak out and keep an open mind. You wanted to know what was bothering Nio, you're about to find out.

*instantly scared, she grabs a whole tray of drinks* Coming

*leads her back to the hut and into the bedroom, tray and all, then goes back to the common room*

hey...Nio?

Ah... There you are.. Hello Twyla..

Hey.... What's this all about?....

she's what I be conflict about twy

Your mother? Why? Was there a fight?

No dear. No fight.. It's uh. Something else.

Well spill it.... I'm here

I'm attracted to her I realized it at the hot springs and got reminded when dad mentioned naked people and I'm pretty sure I be fucked in da head but I kinda want to anyway and dad made it sound like it's a line who you love and feel what be right ting and she be saying maybe and I be like but what if we no like and she be like you still gotta tell twy so we be telling ya now... *shoves his head into the bed*

....you..... what?.... Nio, you're not making any sense.... Getting a bit hard for a parent? That's normal.... But wanting to.... actually do things?... Are you sure you're okay? Are you sick? Did you hit your head?

yeah, yeah of course ya right. *tries to get up, he's gonna bolt*

*Holds him down* Nio.. Twyla. Listen.. The gods did not make those rules.. Apparently only everyone else did. The Gods.. Araavos Doesn't follow those rules. Nio is new to this and he takes more after his father... Don't hold it against him. There's nothing wrong with him.

13:37

But we're trying to find a healthy way to navigate it... But he needed to tell you Because as his mate it's your Call.

You're seriously not asking me to.... *Nervous chuckle*....No... This has to be some kind of..... joke..... Right? You.... You're serious?....

I'll let you two discuss this. *She said. Getting up and going out to join Araavos*

*"Don't leave me here...."*

just forget it yeah, ya right it be sick. Ill... just deal with it on me own if me have ta. You can go now.

No, No, Nio, listen to me! *Drops the tray. Fuck the drinks. Letting them all shatter on the floor. She runs over to him. Grabbing his shoulders* Look at me... You told me if there's someone else, you'd tell me... You kept your word, right?.... If you want to explore this, then.... Do so.... I'll try to keep an open mind.... For you... And only you....

i don't even know if it be for us. But, I kinda want ta try. Dad said there's no closer bind and if I feel that strongly who be deciding why we no can form Dat.

So then try.... I may be a bit.... Shocked....but.... *She takes his hand* I'm not going anywhere.... And if it does develop into something more, so be it... We adjust.... We adapt... Together.... Okay?....

*Just sitting next to Araavos, listening and fidgeting. Pulling on her arm feathers*

Starting to regret bringing me here yet?

No... But it certainly has complicated things. That I'm not surprised of.

14:01

But.. I'm also.. glad you're back.

so am I. Sorry for thr mess. But to be fair it's a mess your ancestors created.

you're just sain Dat cause ya don be wantin ta go...

It's a mess that wouldn't have even been brought up if it wasn't for me... *Rests her face in her hands* I'm a terrible mother.

I don't want to go, because I love you, and I'm willing to try to understand. That's what love is. You don't just leave when things get complicated. I want you to pursue this if it's something you truly want to do. You mean the whole world to me.... You and our children on the way....

no your just a mother of one of my kids, and a damned good one at that

so it really be okay den

*Looks up at him* You really think so?..

are you kidding, he's respectful, kind, compassionate, passionate, loved by everyone has no enemies. You did an amazing job

Of course you goof! *Kisses his cheek* Just give me time to get used to it, hm? It is a bit.....unconventional. Don't hold it against me.

den I'll just hold you against me, yeah?

1

*smiles* Sounds like a good deal. *Snuggles up to him*

*Smiles a bit* Thank you.. I certainly did my best.

thanks for pretending to understand. I Don get it either, so you wanna tell her? She may believe it coming from you ya?

and did it effortlessly with beauty and grace

We both go out there... Talk to them....

*Blushes and elbows him in the shoulder* Oh You.. you were always such a sweet talker.

worked on you didn't it

Shush.. I'm surprised I didn't get pregnant from your silver tongue alone.

do i have ta

But I best not be boostin' your ego even more yeah?

Yes, you do.

that can be arranged ya know

*Blushes harder and just stands up* I'm going to go check on the baby. *She said, as she heads to her room* (edited)

she already heard it from me, and I from here. But not from you, you go, im good in here

*sighs in defeat* Fine... But we're going to my parents after.... *Gets up and goes to find Hua*

*laying there waiting for the fallout*

*Finished changing Makana and was bringing her out to feed her*

Hey Hua.....

15:25

we... Need to talk....

Oh.. How did your talk with Nio go? One moment.. *She said. Gettinf the baby in her seat and handing her her bottle to eat*

Makana holds the bottle in her hands and just enjoys it

it actually went pretty well....

Good, that's great.. alright. Go ahead and talk.

we both agreed to see this through.... I will support it.... Despite my initial.... revulsion.... I suppose.... BUT...but... If you are to do this... It's best to do it quick.... While it's still on everyone's mind....

Oh.. Goodness. Twyla it Can't happen that quickly i.. think it better if something occurs naturally.

16:08

I don't think it best it just be something to get out of the way. It's meant to be a bonding Experience of sorts so... Perhaps tonight you'll allow me and Nio some time alone Elsewhere? After you get home from giving your parents the news.

Whatever you both need....

16:12

Perhaps after dinner tonight you two could go off somewhere?

Hm... That could be nice.. But are you absolutely Sure Twyla?.

I'm sure... I want you both to see where it goes.... However the outcome...

*Nods* Alright.. *She said. And gently wrapped Twyla into a hug*

*hugs her back*

So.... We're really doing this? We're really going to let him.... Y'know....?

I suppose. I'm still unsure and nervous myself.. this is my little boy we're talking about. Even if he may not be so little anymore. It's quite daunting

No no, I get it.... I'm nervous about this too.... But of course, not nearly as much as you... But we'll all get through it.... At least I hope...

*Nods* But for now. How about we find something else to do. In the meantime while we wait for lunchtime.

Nio and I might take that lunch to go.... We still need to head to my village soon....

*Nods* Alright. Go let him know and we'll see you both later. I may take the chance to spend some one on one time with Araavos.. well sort of. The baby will probably tag along *she chuckled*

Got it. *Heads back to Nio*

how'd it go?

It went well. She said she wants to wait till after dinner to have some alone time with you and see what happens. No expectations. And I was thinking we head to my village to talk to my parents, maybe have lunch with them, while Hua and Araavos are having their own alone time. Sound good? (edited)

uhhhhhhhh yes?

Good! Now let's go! *takes his hand and leads him out* (edited)

*Going to clean the Bottle and Clean Makana up, but noticed there were bite marks in the Nipple of the bottle and looked at her* Um... Do Children of this species also Teethe when their teeth come in?

21:34

*Turning to Araavos. Since he's still there and can give her that advice*

Best get some leather....

We don't.. Have Leather.. At least not in abundance.

*twists his finger conjuring a rawhide into her hand* Let her gnaw on that.

*Just stares at it for a moment. before shrugging it off and going to give it to her*

Makana sniffed it a moment. And took it to start immediately Gnawing on it.

Huh... That actually worked.

Of course it did. *waves his hand to fix the tray of broken drinks and floats it back over, taking one and sipping it* Need a drink?

Think we could go for a few?

You want to go out instead?

*Nods*

*dismisses them, including his own* Okay then, let's go.

Hua Smiled, and Gathered Makana up in her "Backpack" to carry her along while they head out for drinks and some time together to just talk and Relax.

*flying back into the village, and soars straight to Dante's Family's front porch to drop off the frog legs, before storming into Nio's*

*Was just chilling there carving a spear when she did. Looked at the frog legs. Then at her as she flew away. Then back at the frog legs. And put down everything to try some. His tail immediately wagging*

*sees what happened and smirks* she got your chicken.....

*With a mouth full of legs. Hands out a fistful of them* Want thum?

*decides to take one and try a bite* ....Damn. They're awesome!

*landed next to her, following her inside* Hey, don worry bout dem yeah. They'll just have to learn to live wit like we will yeah?

*sets the food down before practically throwing herself on the couch. head in her hands as she's draped over the arm rest. sobbing* Fuck them....*is all her voice can really say at the moment*

to be fair we not give dem much time...... Anyway twy. It gonna be okay yea? Time be funny Dat way, always findin a way to work tings out yea?

*sniffles*.... You always say that...That things will work out....but look at the mess we're in....

yep can't wait ta see it untangle dis mess yea? Should be a good show eh? (edited)

I suppose.... I guess I need a distraction for now.....But food is not going to help....

like what den?

You... You always seem to make me feel better....without even trying most days....

It's a gift yea?

*pfft* It sure is. See? Already smiling. *pats the seat next to her* Come sit with me?

Yeah okay. *takes a seat next to her*

*snuggles up to him. kissing him softly on the lips* I love you, you silly macaw whohappenstobeademigodandi'mstill tryingtowrapmyheadaroundthat.....anyway, how about cuddles before dinner, hm? can take a nice nap

Uhhhhhh..... okay...*this time just teasing her*

*pouts a little* Hey no fair, i was slow that time....

Were ya? *raising an eyebrow*

Do you want nap time and cuddles or not? *gets up. stretches.* Because I could go see if The Furs will let me stay there...*pretends to walk away*

*lays back on the couch, calling her bluff, yawning dramatically*

*whips right around* NIO!...Oh you done it now. *leaps right on top of him*

*nuzzles his neck* Asshole....*she says. though affectionately*

The two of them then proceed to nap on the couch like that until dinner is prepared

About 4 Hours Later, As the sun began to Set.

*Back home with Araavos after a nice walk and conversation on the beach, a good swim, and playing with Makana on the sand.*

I thought they were heading to her parents... did they not leave?

I'm not sure.. Should we wake them?

someone might want to.

*Goes over and Nudges Nio* Son. Wake up.

*still sleeping on top of him*

hmm?

Sunset. Dinner time.. or close to it.. What are you doing here? We thought you left to visit Twyla's Parents.

yeah dey not exactly be thrilled about it.

Oh? What happened?

her dad starting yelling at us both, say you not be teaching me, Dat we should known better shoulda waited insulting our ways of free love yea. Stick in da sands an all.

While as a parent. I get it. And I do also feel you two did rush it. But because of OUR culture I allowed you to do whatever you want. While he may have gone overboard. You also have to try and see it from his Point of view. As a Father. One of a completely different culture at that.

11:48

He'll come around, I'm sure.

yeah maybe don't all me to weigh in here....

*sits up*

*jolts awake. Sitting up as well* Hey!... Oh hey Hua. You and Araavos have fun?

not as much as you it seems.

*hearing the evening drums* oh hey is it night time already?

Sir, respectfully, nothing happened.... We just took a nap together

that's not what i...... nevermind...

Then what did you mean? I'm sorry

It's Sarcasm. He's saying your trip was "fun" but in actuality it was not.. anyway, shall we go get Dinner?

I suppose so. *Gets up*

don have ta ask me twice

Shall we then? *Holds her hand out*

Go ahead. Your father and I will catch up.

12:36

There's one more thing I need to talk to him about.

oh?

*Nods*

Well.... Have fun. *Walks out with Nio.*

*Waits for them to be a good distance away before turning to Araavos. And then sitting on the couch where the other two were shortly before. Tapping the seat beside her*

12:47

Sit with me?

aleight... *takes his seat* what's this about?

It's about.. Nio and I.. and What was Planned after Dinner...

okay.....

I think.. we should give it more time.. especially because... You just returned... I don't.. I don't feel it fair to you that the first man I ever.. possibly... have sex with be.. our own son...

13:00

I.. I think it's too soon. That we should give it more time.. Especially because.. You've only just returned and.. it wouldn't be fair to you that the first man i.. might.. sleep with.. is our own son..

13:01

And I'm afraid.. afraid if it does happen. It.. could tear us apart... or something just. Goes wrong..

but then you risk it going ignored, then suppressed, eventually resented. Im an adult we all are. I can wait if I must. Though I will admit i was hoping wed have time before tonight.

Then... Why not, Tonight?.. If.. If you'd like to.. Before.. we go join them...

13:03

*Looking down at her hands, blushing profusely. Still surprised at herself for even thinking of it*

were alone now....

We are... I'll.. go put Makana down for her bed time... Meet me in my room Maybe?...

thought you'd never ask.

*Smiles a bit. And gets up. Going to Lay makana down to sleep and make sure she's confortable.*

*heads to her room*

*Once she's done with that and Gives herself a quick check, she takes a deep breath and heads to the room*

*Standing in the doorway looking at him*

*laying in the bed looking her up and down*

*Blushing. Getting undressed slowly. Not taking too long as they wear minimal clothing anyway, and stepping closer* what ya be lookin' at me like that for?

just admiring you once again. Just as I did the last time we were in intimate.

Flatterer.. I don't exactly look the same.. but.. If you think I'm still beautiful I must be, right? *She said. A crooked shy smile on her lips as she goes to climb in bed beside him. Hesitantly moving her hand to feel along his body starting with his chest.*

you are beautiful, *as he runs his knuckles along her cheek*

*Closing her eyes as she feels his touch against her cheek. Letting out a soft sigh. And shifting her gaze down below to his Crotch. Where she slowly reaches out to Feel his cock in her hand. Stroking it slowly. Feeling it.*

*let's out a sigh of his own as he leans back*

*Biting her lip. Glancing at his face from time to time* I'm a little rusty.. Don't be afraid to help me out a little...

*reaches up, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her in for an embrace before rolling them both over, on top of her now as he extends his forearms beside her using them to hold himself up as he gazes into her eyes and says* you mean like this? *As he presses against her entrance*

*She gasped in surprise. Her heart skipping a beat. Suddenly feeling that familiar thrill and Anxiousness she had all those years ago. Meeting his gaze. Almost tempted to close her legs but resisting. Old sparks she had once thought gone reawakening in her body with every touch and motion* O-Oh My Feathers...

*slides it in, taking in her warmth around him, as he cups her face gently, bringing her face in line with his own as he leans down to kiss her passionatly as he continues to inch forward*

*Shuddering as he does. Feeling him stretch her walls once again. The spark, the feeling she thought she had long forgotten and lost flooding back through her body in an instant. Lifting her arms to wrap them around his neck as she returns the kiss with just as much passion. Closing her eyes as she takes in every sensation. Savoring the moment.*

*slowly begins thrusting*

*Bites her lip. Holding back her moans. Her Walls Twitching around him with each thrust. An abundance of moisture inside her and around her lips allowing for easy access. Letting him go as deep as he wants. Her hands locked together over his shoulders andTrying to keep her eyes on him. Not wanting to look away or close her eyes for fear He may just vanish again, that she'll wake up and realize this is only a dream*

*continues to hold her as he explores her all over again*

M-Mh!~ Ah~.. *Now unable to help herself. She closes her eyes and lays her head back as she let's the pleasure and passion take over her. Feeling her heart race. Starting to tremble. Panting heavily. Her walls beginning to Squeeze around him as she approaches Orgasm. Digging her nails into his back a little bit. Holding him tight*

*reaches his hand down, getting behind a thigh and lifting it towards her chest, his other hand around her shoulder pulling her in tighter as he opens her up more at the same time*

*Moans Loudly as he does. Shuddering. Getting closer and closer to release. Starting to leak* O-Oh Araavos!!~~ Mh!!~

*throbbing and pulsing as his own approaches*

*Opening her eyes to look at him. Quickly reaching a hand up to hold his own* A-Araavos I.. *Huff* I want you to know... t-that I *Huff* I'd... I'd be happy to.. To carry Your Child again... If that's... what comes from this... *She said softly, genuinely, between her heavy breaths.*

15:45

I-If I can.. Even Conceive anymore.. *Huff* F-Fuck~

With me it's a choice, with anyone else it's fate who decides.

T-Then... I'd.. I'd like to bear another Child... and This time.. *Moan* Mh~! Raise it with you by my side...~

15:49

Please, My Love..~

Picture the child in your mind, and you'll have it. *activates and prepares to fill her*

*She nods. And Soon Her body began to Spasm a bit as she finally goes over the edge. Breathing heavily and Moaning out. Arching her back. Her legs Shaking while her walls Pulsate and Squeeze around him. Squirting a bit. Riding out the Orgasm.*

*begins filling her, holding her closely as he does*

*Once she's able to. Returns the Embrace. Burying her face in his neck as she tries to catch her breath*

16:00

Oh Goodness... I feel like such a mess.. *She said after a moment, once The Orgasm subsided and be had finished filling her. A small chuckle escaping her throat* But... It feels.. Amazing...

*after finishing himself, and a moment of recovery, starts sliding out of her* Like old times eh?

Mhm... Thank you... Thank you for... For Coming home to us... For.. Forgiving me and.. For giving Us another chance.. to do things right...

16:09

I.. I did Miss you.. Nio was right i just.. could never admit it to myself or him... And My heart still beats Louder than any drum for you..

I'm just glad you let me hear it's song.

I hope we can both continue to make music together.. *She said softly. Her eyes full of content and Admiration.. Seeming finally to have found some peace and closure in this moment with him*

16:21

I love you, Araavos...

I love you too Hua, always have.

I wish I'd known sooner. How we both truly felt..

16:46

But.. I suppose it worked out in a funny way huh?

things usually do.

I don't want to move now but... I'm also more hungry...

well then.. *stands and floats her off the bed* should I just float you out there then?

Eep!! Um.. Well. As nice as that sounds i still have to wash up first! And.. well I wouldn't want to get any funny looks from the others.

*sets her down* dont say I didn't offer. *he teases*

Of course not.. *She chuckles a bit. Smiling. Feeling like her younger self once again. He just has that effect on her. And she takes her clothes and heads out to clean up*

*heads out to wait for her, wiping himself clean* (edited)

*out dancing with the girls, Twy, a drink in his hand and the rythym guiding him*

*Trying out some more drinks at the bar to see which he likes most and what he can handle*

*dancing with him. has sworn off drinks now that she's pregnant, not aware it wouldn't affect anything. She's not even minding there's other girls. Her and Nio's talk about that still on her mind.* Y'know, with how open of an area this beach is, without all the trees.... The stars are so much clearer.... Kinda funny how that works. *She says. More making conversation than anything.*

*kind of over Twyla and Nio now. Just trying to mingle with the males of the village. But most of them were there for the trial, and won't give her the time of day, knowing she was a jealous and petty bitch.*

*dancing and playing with the village kids. enjoying herself.*

It is nice out here yea?

It sure is. But... *Looks him up and down* I think I like this view better. *Winks*

Dat a fact?

Well of course. Why wouldn't it be? Sure the stars are nice, but I got the brightest one right here, yes? *She cups his cheek*

*Was watching everyone else Dance. And Observing Yuray trying to interact with others to no avail. And Decides to call out to her* Hey Yuray! Wanna come up for some drinks?

...You actually want to get drinks with me or do you just feel bad? *She teases a little*

Both. But are you really gunna complain?

I guess you're not SO bad. *She walks over.* Anything you have in mind?

Maybe you aren't either... still not a fan of what you did. Clearly most aren't but.. I'll give you a chance too. As for drinks? Got any favorite?

Whatever is popular today. I really don't have a favorite drink

Aww.... ya gonna make me blush yea? Come on, I see people gathering for drinks, maybe we move da party dere yea? Come on! Last one dere get da bad coconut!

Then we better race there so Uri can have it

You know.. You could ask Twyla to make her special drink. I hear it's really good...

After cleaning up Araavos and Hua went out to go look for the others

Oh it is.... But she and I just got on decent terms, I'm not bothering her too much. Besides, it's not that special anyway if you think about it. I mean, I can't do any better, but....no that's just it. I couldn't do better

Well.. if she's forgiven you for Ruining them last time she'll probably make one if you do ask..

18:46

Why not find out?

*Was looking out to where the dancing was taking place. And not seeing them there she immediately scanned around the bar. Seeing them going that way and sighing in relief* Oh there they are...

*already there before Twy could really even finish her thought and is already ordering a drink*

18:59

*and the famed coconut of shame*

*looking around for Uri as she races over there*

*ugh* Fine, but you're coming with me. I need moral support

Uri is still back at Nakarutu

What are you, a chicken?

Seriously, what is a chicken?....Anyway, whatever it is, I'm not one

oh yeah?

*joining Nio*

If I take your stupid coconut, will you stop calling me a word I don't understand?!

No promises..

*rolls her eyes and walks over to the bar*

We have a non winner!!! *slides her the coconut* Here's your trophy.

If you want to get technical, Yuray was last. Besides, you wouldn't want me getting sick, now would you?

Hey, We were here at the bar first.

20:36

So you and Nio both got here late. *Chuckles*

20:36

Anyway Yuray was wondering if you'd mind making your special.

I guess I could. Nio, you want one too? Yknow what? I'll just make a tray of them. *starts to make the drinks*

Woooo!!

Now we're talkin!

Hua and Araavos Walk over

Having your own party over here?

Sort of. Too bad I can't have any. Almost jealous. *chuckles*

not yet starting onethough

Question is, what are we celebrating?

It's just a good night.. *Blushing. Glancing at Araavos as they take their seats* a Very good night.

life?

life works

I agree, life works

hm....yeah I can behind that.

*takes one of the drinks* then has the party started or what?

*chokes one down, and with the slamming of the glass on the counter declairs* let da party begin! Woo!

*takes a drink and starts drinking it*

I don't mind playing bartender tonight. *she says while making some more*

*takes a drink as well and sips it* Just be lucky your drinks are good.

Sometime After The Party Dies down and everyone finished their Drinks and Did some more Dancing. And Enjoyed their Dinner. Onyx, Sable, and Yuray Disperse. Leaving Twyla, Hua, Araavos, and Nio to themselves as the Ambient Torchlight gradually fades.

*Standing outside with the others laughing a bit* Tonight has been.. Surprisingly, Quite Wonderful.. I think I'm getting better at Dancing again too. *She said. Nudging Araavos*

like ya never forgot

You're just good at instructing *She teased*

I saw you out there. Your display was so pretty!

I'll say

*Clearing her throat. Now Looking at Nio*

Oh, Hey mom!

Hey Son. *She chuckles* So... Uhm.. When are you wanting to Leave?.

You two are leaving?....Oh! Right! My bad, I forgot about all that.

I suppose that was a good thing then. Must not be so hard to forget after all when you're distracted and Having fun but.. It does still need to be Addressed... You just let me know when you're ready to go.. and Twyla, When you're ready to Let him go for a little while.

Aww, nonsense! I can entertain myself for a while, no problem. You forget I'm introverted

Twyla, Sweetie.. *Places a hand on her shoulder* You can put down the Facade.. I know you're nervous about this too.

*not as nervous as I am... I gotta try ta date my mom yea*

....When did you become a therapist?....*sighs* Yes, I'm terrified, but I agreed to support this, and I mean it!

I'm a Mother. I know things.. (edited)

*internal chuckle, tuned into all of it*

Well when do I get superpowers like that, hm? *chuckles*

Well....

Give it about Four years..

Demigod Children may be different, but I still trust your words

Children are Children no matter the Species *She chuckles*

23:25

So.. Nio. Best not Procrastinate anymore... So.. Can i talk to you alone for a moment?

*swallows hard* Yup.. *gets up and walks after her*

*Glancing back at Araavos and Twyla as she walks away with Nio*

*just relaxing at the bar with a drink*

*watching them leave.* Normally I'd be following him, but....yeah... *turns to Araavos* Sooooo.....The One and Only Creator....what's that like?

Wanna see? *taps her forehead, showing her the entire birth of the multiverse, sped up to take less than 10 seconds*

....*falls to ground and starts seizing. too much information all at once* (edited)

Huh... I thought she was one of the smarter ones...

What tha hell?

Relax, some just take longer than others to process it.

Process what?

Everything.......

huh?

Just wait....

Nio. She'll be fine. Come on. *Flies off*

*looking back as he flies off after her*

*a bit later, she sits up. eyes wide. looks up at Araavos* ....I just asked a question....Did you have to flashbang me?

Did your question get answered?

*gets up* Well.... You are now responsible for my phycic damages. *she chuckles a little* But seriously, I wanted to learn more about you, not really all....that

You're welcome.

I should have just picked a basic question....Like what's your favorite hobby?

Blowing people's minds. *he teases*

What's even crazier is I know that's not true..... You basically told me everything about you in 10 seconds...... So many people came and went...... You saw our planet during it's infant days..... It's all just.... Overwhelming..... How I'm alive right now to handle this is beyond me......

Because a part of you wanted a deeper understanding, anyone who wasn't, wouldn't be.

I....I guess that makes sense..... Uhm.... Fuck, what do I even answer all that with? Hi, my name is Twyla and I like Stargazing and Reading?

And don't forget magic... *he leans down*, Don't forget... I know you too.... *he winks and sits back up*

WHO TOLD YOU THA-- ohhhhhh you're a god, right......right.....

Something like that.

I....I did it to help people.... My parents would have my head.... My village doesn't trust magic.....

Don't worry, Not my story to tell...

Besides, I focus more on healing and potions anyway.... Not out here for power. Anyway, uhm.... I had another question..... If you're also.... Open..... Have you ever had lovers that were a bit.... Hesitant about it?..... How'd you convince them?.... Help them understand....

All the time, But just because someone doesn't love you, doesn't mean you stop loving them. And so I did. Eventually they realized they loved me back. Not all do, but I still love them the same.

I'm not completely against the idea... If that were true, I wouldn't be letting Nio do this..... But at least... For me.... It's hard to picture someone else in my life like that.... But could a polyamorous person and a monogamous person work?.....

Of course it can.

...how so?

You can be with only one. Him being your one and only, even if you aren't his only.

Thank you.... If something does happen with them.... I'll tell him.... My heart is his alone....

That's a very big gift.

One not even my village takes lightly....

I suspect they wouldn't approve. Are you sure you're okay with that. On the one hand... *his voice getting smoother, the, "devil on your shoulder playing the angel" kind* you have family, tradition, generations of upbringing that defy the very notion. Whom you'd likely never be seen the same way with, some, if at all............ And on the other.... you have Nio, or your part of him... Even if he gives you all of him, every time, you're still going to look at it as a piece, you'll tell yourself, it's not like that, but you won't believe it. Oh, how I don't envy you. (edited)

No, No, they might understand magic.... They might eventually forgive a pregnancy.... They will not forgive me abandoning tradition....

01:25

And what exactly are you getting at? Of course he'd give his all to me.... You seem to make time for your many women.... Why not him?

I never said he wouldn't. I merely said you would doubt it.

..... I never have before.....

And maybe you never will. But you do need to decide.

I decided when I confessed my love for him.... There was always the possibility of not being his only one.... I just hope my parents understand.....

02:12

And My Tribe..

and if they don't?

Then they will.... Eventually..... Maybe....

I hope you're right.

If they never come around, then....at least I have a home and a family here.....

That you do.

*hugs him* Thank you....

You're welcome

*pulls away* I wonder what they're up to to be honest.

Do you really?

Judging by your question, no

Does it still worry you?

A little....

Wanna talk about that?

What's there to talk about? That I'm worried about him? About her? About you? My hus--....... boyfriend......is sleeping with his mom, your wife and your son are sleeping together..... She's.... experienced.... I barely got the basics.... Even if something did happen, what if she's SO good that he doesn't need me anymore?! Then what am I left with?! I fought too hard to get his attention already..... He didn't see me until Yuray essentially used her cruelty to shove me into his light which..... Kind of funny if you think about it.... Not the point! Anyway, what am I supposed to do? Just....let it be?

Well... do you think he loves you, or your body? Your personality? Or your skills? Why did he choose you?

I don't know! And that's what terrifies me even more! We've been friends for....EVER.... essentially..... But we're mostly opposites....

So, imagine your him then. *turning her to face the mirrored barback* And look at Twyla... What do you think Nio sees?

*staring at herself. Pausing*....*pfft*....this is stupid....but.... I guess he would see...His.... His lifelong friend.... The quiet one in the crowd.... The one who saw him all those years without him realizing. He told me that himself..... *Chuckles softly a little*....his partner......and the mother of his children......

Do you think he loves her? Does she look happy?

she's been happier than ever as of recent.....and....and of course he loves her..... God, why now is doubt creeping in? What was I thinking?.....

You tell me... You're the only one who seems to see it (the doubt).

He loves me.... I won't doubt it anymore....

Are you hoping he does? Or do you know he does?

I know he does! Of course he does!

Then say it. To yourself, to everyone.

*looks at herself in the mirror* He loves me..... He loves me!....NIO LOVES ME!

YES NOW CAN YOU SHUT. UP!

Now how do you feel?

14:24

*turns to Yuray* You, are better than that, and there's compassion in you somewhere, you just need the right person to pull that out of you... I hope one day you find him.

Amazing! *Twirls while giggling*..... *Sighs contently*...Thank you....

I was hoping it was her man....

For what? I didn't do anything but show you what you already knew.... *turns to Yuray* Sometimes the one you see, is the one standing in front of the one you don't... Shift your view, and discover what you've been missing.

Hey, I heard he's open, maybe I could squeeze in?

Maybe. If you can get him to forgive you too, hm?

Hey I was just joking, but if you say I have a shot....

I already gave you a chance at redemption. Now if you were a bit nicer.... You're still kind of a bitch....

I'M WORKING ON IT!!!!

And work on your temper too

*not what I had in mind, but, you go girl, at least you're consistent and determined*

But maybe you should still expand your options?

Yeah Yeah, okay. You just want to keep him all to yourself. I get it.

Shut up. That's not what I said.

Yes you did.

Araavos tell her!

She's sharing him right now, that's not what she said. What she's saying, is the same thing i've said. That maybe the shining one, is distracting you from the ones you're not seeing... It's up to you, whether you choose to look or not. *looks at Twy* After all, some only see one man.......

Why? are you available? *winks*

Always.

15:08

*winks*

Twy, you didn't say your boyfriend's father was a charmer, my feathers!

Please don't call me Twy. Only friends and family, and we're not friends.....yet.

I'm not sure she knew herself.

He had to get it from somewhere.

So. Tell me about yourself then.

I'm more of an ask and i'll tell you type person. So how about you just start with what you wanna know?

Where are you from? I don't recongnize your type. You look like afalcon, but the horns---

FALCON! YEP! Silver Falcon! Haha....Totatally....not.....something else......

*raises his eyebrow at her*

Oookayyy...... How old are you?

how old do I look?

Hm....I'd say 25, but that's not possible, your son is in his early 20s....sooooooo......40-something

I asked how old do I look, not how old do you think I am.

You look 25 then

then go with that.

*pfft* Okay. I don't believe you, but I love the mystery. Hmmm......I hear you can tell a lot about a person from their favorite color, so I'll ask that next. Do you have a favorite color?

nope

Seriously? Everyone does! Mine is green!

I like orange.... Brown is dark orange, so it goes well with my feathers.....

I really don't have a favorite anything.

*pouts* Well that's boring. Is there anything you can say about yourself that's interesing?

im exactly what you think I am, and everything you haven't though of yet.

Alright mystery man, name one thing you like

you

*not expecting that, she blushes* .....

Well...uhm....Interesting....

Careful, he's working things out with Hua.

I am. But she already knows everything about me, just as you do.

Would she mind if I stole you for a bit?

steal me? And hide me where exactly

I mean go out, silly!

*deciding to go get more fruit*

aren't we already? Conversation, drinks, flirting. Sounds like a date to me

*giggles* then would you like to dance?

you sure you can keep up?

I'm sure

then let's do it

*takes his hand* Let's

So Those two go to Dance. Leaving Twyla there to drink by herself. Until Araavos insisted she join them. Taking turns dancing with them both. And for a moment all their worries and hard feelings melted away. And eventually, once they they got tired. Yuray went home.. thanking them both for letting her spend time with them. While Twyla. Began to wonder where Hua and Nio were, starting to worry again. And Expressed to Araavos that she didn't want to sleep alone tonight. So Araavos offered to sit on the couch with her until she fell asleep. So she'd have someone close. To Which Twyla reluctantly agreed. This is all still a lot to her. And so they head inside. Araavos sits on the couch. Twyla sits beside him. He asks if she'd like to lay down. To which she just replied with a nod. And did so. Her head resting on his lap. Not really thinking about it. Just finding comfort in it. Missing Nio and Wishing it was him but, feeling grateful for Araavos being there instead. And it didn't take long for her to fall asleep.
