The next day.

*Had woken up a little early and went to the bar for a drink*

*Out Doing some early morning Fishing.*

*Still fast asleep in her hut*

*comes over to sit beside him* Morning!

*tearing the feathers out of her hair and yelling at a random macaw* WHEN WERE Y'ALL GONNA TELL ME THESE MEAN SOMETHING?! I LOOKED LIKE A SLUT!

The macaw is just laughing.

*waking up in Nio's arms*

*Turning to her. And smiling. Pulling his net back in despite not having fish in it and sets it aside to kneel down and hug her* Good morning... How are you feeling?.. Did you.. enjoy last night?

Enjoy it?! I haven't had that much fun in years! Albeit not very many years, but years.

*had gotten up early while everything was still being put out, before breakfast even officially started and has already secured her breakfast and has her bowl sitting on her nightstand and is now standing and waiting on her to get up*

2

*grabbing her spear and going off to hunt. Passing Onyx and stopping* Oh. Hey brother. You alright this morning? You and Yuray were pretty loud....

Oh good.. I was worried I might have been a little too rough- *Snapping his head to his sister in shock* Y-You heard that???

7:14 PM

Wait.. where were you anyway????

*Eventually began to stir. Slowly opening her eyes and sitting up in bed. Rubbing her head and trying to figure out what happened last night. Until she looked over. Seeing the food on her night stand. And Uri standing there* Oh... Good Morning... What is this?

I believe the natives call it a bowl. I think the bits inside is called food.

1

*Rolls her eyes* Ha ha.. No.. I mean.. Why have you done this? You could very well have left without saying anything this morning and never spoken to me again.

7:23 PM

I mean I see no reason for you to still be here with me.. but.. thank you. *She said. Taking it and starting to eat*

Talking. Mingling. Just.... Trying to socialize.... I... *She sits down* I think I'll be alone forever.... And that's fine! I don't really care much....and yes, I did hear it.....all of it... I hope you and Yuray are happy though!...

Oh please, I have no intention of letting him go. Which is why.... Onyx.... *She plucks a feather from her wing and hands it to him* I wanted to do it before, but I wanted to be sure.... Uhm... In case you don't know... It's our way of courting.... Wear it around your waist, and they'll know.... But uh.... Left means Exclusive, Right means open.... Just for further reference.....

I... Yuray.. *Taking the feather and looking at it* Thank you but.. I don't have a feather to give you... *He said. Sticking hers on his Right side for now. Since he's unsure what they'll be.*

*raises eyebrow* If I cared about it being mutual, you think I'd do it?

But.. it's such an important and Symbolic Gesture for you.. Surely there's something I can give you in return?. Oh!! I Know! *Hurriedly standing up. And running over to the trees to find one of the larger leaves in the bushes. And disappears into the hut for a little while* (edited)

*pfft* *shakes her head* What is he up to now?

I guess some of us arent that rude. but apparantly some of us are.... But hey, I guess now you can consider it a thank you... For the reminder there's nothing for me here... Enjoy your breakfast.... *and since he was already at the threshold, he simply turns around, and walks out, where he promptly takes off and flies off, not to Nakurutu, but in a different direction entirely*

*Sets her bowl down not finishing her food before running out after him* Uri wait!!!

*bring pretty quick himself, dispite the teasing from Nio, is already over the water and heading towards the horizon*

*Groans. And Just flies off after him. Her speed not nearly as fast as an Eagles. But not slow either.*

*Hurries back over to Yuray after a few minutes. Holding up a Large Leaf that's clearly been painted black with squid ink* Here!! This can be my Feather for you...

7:36 PM

*Placing it in her hair. No specific place since he's unaware of all the meanings. Just in her hair.*

7:37 PM

Don't worry it's dry.. it shouldn't stain your hair.

I think it looks cute right there by your ear.. I mean.. you can choose where you want it just... yeah..

*had head most of it, and when he saw the leaf he rolls his eyes and stands up, going over to him and grabbing him by the ear* come here... *and drags him off to his hut*

7:54 PM

*stops a moment and plucks the leaf out of her hair* Sorry about this.... *and then resumes takng Onyx, back to his hut*

Ow ow ow! Hey!!!

.....

*Returning to Yuray. Glancing behind him to make sure he wasn't followed.* Okay I'm back.. And uh.. I brought you this.. *He said. Showing her the new "feather"*

*she gently takes it. Feeling it in her hands. Instantly knowing it's his fur and smiles* Thank you.... *And she puts it in the Neutral Position* It's in Neutral.... for now....

*Still flying after Uri.. though now she's gaining Altitude. Flying up with purpose*

*Smiling brightly* Okay.. But remind me that I owe Nio. He was a big help.

I'll be back. *He said going to hang the leaf up in the hut. Since he still wasn't going to get rid of it. He'd rather have given her that than nothing. Reminding himself that he still tried regardless. But happy she has One that's part of himself. Like it should be.*

8:43 PM

*Going back to Yuray*

8:45 PM

So.. want drinks?

Of course! *Gets up*

*Just picks her up Bridal style to carry her there*

*laughs* Hey!

*Once at a good enough height. Folds her wings as she dives down. Letting herself gain speed and momentum as Gravity pulls her lower quickly . Before she gradually opens her wings again to catch herself and Glide quickly towards him. Gaining on him now*

8:54 PM

Uri!! *Trying to call to him*

*faintly hears her off in the distance, and turns his head to see her approaching, slowing down a bit* What are you doing here? Did I happen to step in a reason and you need to come get it back?

*Seeing him slow down. She slows down too. And Takes a second to catch her breath as she hovers in front of him* I don't know.. But what I do know is if you leave now you'll truly be alone. You'll have nobody.. I can't let you do that. Not before you know the truth...

8:59 PM

So.. come home. You still have family there. Yeah. They're different now. Things have changed. But their love of you never will.

Why do you even care? You were pretty clear there was no reason you could think of for me to be there.

Because you were Drunk, you very well could have Sobered up and realized what happened and immediately regretted it.. You barely know me or anything about me.. I thought it best to keep it that way but maybe it isn't after all... *Moving closer. And Softly Kissing his cheek* please come home... there's.. something I need to tell you.. (edited)

If it's that important, you can tell me now, otherwise, i'll keep going.

Okay. But we need to land somewhere first before I do. I don't want you freezing up and falling into the water.

Fine... *looks around, find a small island just barely large enough for a single house and heads towards it*

*Follows him closely*

*Sitting Yuray down in the barstool and making her and himself some drinks*

Alright, but be careful not to drop me if you carry me like that, yea? *she says and leans on the counter a bit. watching him make the drinks*

Eventually The rest of the Day went by as Usual. Lunch, Dinner. The Works. And everyone went to bed.

Now it's the next day.

*Taking Makana for a Walk on the beach*

*on the shoreline. sort of practicing her dancing by herself. Wanting to be better. Wanting to keep up with everyone else.*

*at the bonfire having some fruit as a snack*

*swimming in the water*

*Fishing as usual*

*swims to the shore and sits beside him* catch anything good?

Any chance I had of catching anything is gone now. You just scared'em all off

I wasn't even loud this time....

The water, Sable. You were in the water. The disturbance of it scared them away.

12:52 PM

But you can make up for it by taking over. Maybe practice spearing them.

YES! *Dives back in.*

That means you stand up in the water and wait for them to get close to you!!! *Rolls his eyes. And then pulls in the net before going to get a drink himself*

*sees him heading to the bar and walks over* Drinking this early?

*was already there making smoothies*

Nothing too strong.

*Already has one smoothie in her hand* So.. Something interesting happened last night..

oh? What dat be eh?

*on her way over*

Uri.. Uh... He got with a Woman last night..

good one mom

*beside Nio now* What's wrong with that? Good for him

No, Really. Even Hala could tell you.. and every other witness. He seemed to be kinda drunk. When she took him out to dance. But Goodness.... They started going really rough after that..

1:25 PM

Then they disappeared. I haven't seen either of them since.

So my brother is off on some rendezvous with a woman he met drunk at a party?..... I'm a little bit worried but.... I'm sure he's fine.... right?

I was worried too... I still am.. but we can only hope... all I know is he wasn't himself last night..

he never is nowadays

1:31 PM

"give him space", "give him time".... What now, Hua?.... *Sighs*..... Can you make that smoothie alcoholic, Nio? Before you say no, you know damn well the kids will be fine....

Maybe that's your fault yeah? *his voice low, but not menacing*

...Who are you? Sorry

Thirsty... *reaches past her, close enough for his scent to linger, lavender and wildberry* Excuse me.. *his head and body inches from her own as he grabs a bottle from behind her* There we are... That's better.

*a bit uncomfortable, she just.... side steps away*

Oh look, she's flustered... How adorable...

*"NIO HURRY UP WITH THE DRINKS!!!!"* Uh huh.... *Looks around and points behind him* OH MY ANCESTORS WHAT'S THAT?! (edited)

Your composure trying to escape. You should do something about that.

.... *"FUCK!"*

Kai? When did you get back.

Before you noticed.

Coulda told a brotha.

And miss the fun of messing with your friends? Now where's the fun in that... *waves his hand refilling his private ice supply* Here, does that make it better.

You know you got to be careful with that around here.... dey tolerant, but dey gon ask questions.

Would you relax, they haven't bothered me about it yet.

Dat be what I be afraid of.

You should try not worrying..

*looking between them* .....AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE?!

Kai. Hello dear. It's been a long time. I hope you've been well?

That depends, how many brain cells did you come here with?

Hey dat's not nice.

Neither is cleanup duty, but we don't complain about when it happens..

That's different.

And that's what makes us special.... You gonna introduce me to yourfriend here or what?

Kai, dis is my mate Twyla… Twyla, dis is Kai—Kaimana Lōkahi. Reefkeeper… Tideweaver… an’ a real problem if you give him an inch.

You flatter me...

Hello Hula... I see you're finally over the bird flu. Shoulda known it would take more then the sniffles to take you down.

...How come I've never met him?...

2:25 PM

We all grew up together, wouldn't I have seen him?.... I...

He's just out in the reefs the majority of the time. Very rarely does he come back here to mingle with anyone.

2:27 PM

He may as well be a Phantom, yea?

Oooh,l now that would be a trick.... Hold on. *appears to go translucent*

2:27 PM

Guess i'll work on that.

Uhm... Nice to meet you.... I would say my name is Twyla, but you know that already....

then regale me worth something I don't know. Perhaps that fantasy that had you flustered? Perhaps?

You don't want to know.... Neither does Nio

You be missed a lot, Kai. Please..sit. have a few drinks while we go over some recent updates.

you're right, now I need to know

*deep sigh as she claps her hands together* Ancestors Forgive Me.... I'd take both of you for a night if you offered....

Well. As you can See. Nio has a mate now. Very old and dear childhood friend of his and Uri's. From Nakurutu... But.. Also.. His father has returned to us.. Aaand...

2:39 PM

*Taking Nio's hand in hers gently* Well.. Nio and I are also a Pair..

*"DID YOU HAVE TO TELL HIM NOW?!"* ***"NOW?!"***

yeah, I knew about that. When you make waves, the waves remember, and they talk, if you know how to listen... Cant say I'm...... Thrilled... But... Who am I to judge. And twy... Why wait for the night? *he winks* So, how's it all.... Working... For you?

*blushing, feathers puffed up, nearly falling over at the bar* Oh my....

Well. So far nobody has given us much grief over it.. it's.. Just like any other romantic relationship. Just.. with a twist of sorts.

2:48 PM

It's been going very well..

2:48 PM

So what has brought you back to grace our shores?

I do love when things get twisted....... *he says with all the innuendo he can manage to imply*

2:52 PM

I do still live here you know.... I don't live at sea.... But I'm only back for a few nights then I'm heading to some of the other islands around here.

I see.. well we're happy you finally decided to visit us after all this time.

*Was standing behind for a bit. But finally approached after listening for a bit* So you're a friend of the Family?

*walking up to them. waving*

I'm a friend to the islands. And maybe a few who live on them.

*wagging her tail* You smell amazing....

*Sipping her smoothie*

You must be Sable...The waves speak of the furred one who splashes with crabs...

Wait..You know my sister?

*Excited wolf noises as her tail wags faster* HE KNOWS ME! **ONYX HE KNOWS ME!** I'M DOING A GOOD JOB AT HUNTING!

You're certainly infamous...

*overly excited, she gets close to him. Looking him over* What's your name? Do you have hunting tips, I'd love some! You still smell so good! How'd you get tattoos like that?

Whoa, slow down, You can have one question, then you have to tell me something interesting. I'm not here to be interviewed, but if you'd like a conversation, you have to speak as much as you listen.

Listening isn't her strong suit.

Sorry!.... I guess start with your name....

*Taking his and Yuray's drinks down to the bonfire to sit and enjoy them*

The names Kaimana Lōkahi. You can call me Kai.

3:34 PM

Now it's your turn.

*sitting beside him. laughing a little* Seems she's got a new friend, eh?

Well you know my name, so.... Uhm.... My favorite color is purple, what's yours!?

So your favorite color is me... *expands his wings, showcasing his feathers* Interesting.... I like gold and purple myself. In other words.. I like me too. *then he leans down to tease her* Just maybe not as much as some people like me, hmm... *shifting his gaze between Sable and Twyla*

*blushes* Impressive wingspan.... Seriously, why do you smell like lavender and dreams, like DAMN! *Shakes head*... Sorry

Because I like the scent. But more imporantly, others like the scent... Present company included... Your turn.

....are you single?

*facepalms*

Lifts Nio's chin to kiss him softly on the lips before getting off her stool* I'm going to go find Araavos. Behave yourselves yea? (edited)

3:49 PM

*Heading off to find him*

We're all single.. There's only one of you, one of me, One of her..... We're all single, but if you're asking if I have any company I keep. Not presently...

When do I not behave myself? *he says jokingly, knowing she doesn't have time to list them all so he'll win this arguement by default* (edited)

Shame.... You seem like really good company.... Uh.. what kind of things do you like?

*raises an eyebrow* You sure about that, Darling?

Well let's see. I like music, dancing, A good sunset, the feel of a cool lagoon on a hot day... oh..... and I like you...

Hmm? *holding a drink, gently setting it down* yup... of course....

I...I like hunting....and swimming.....and playing with the village kids because I get to practice hunting with them, and they get to have fun!....and...and I like music too!.... I'm not good at dancing though.... And I love a good crab after a workout! And uh... I like you too.....

*just chuckles and kisses his cheek* You tell yourself that, you troublemaker

Araavos? Where've you gone you scoundrel?

Maybe I will...

Well then... maybe we'll see just how much you like me sometime... hopefully sooner rather than later. *looking her up and down* Unless you're just too busy....

*is resting under a palm*

Are you kidding?! I'm never busy! I did have a run scheduled, but you can always just run....on me.....

*turns to Nio* What did she say?

*shrugs* I don't understand dem half da time either...

I see.

Given the context of the conversation, I'd say she's trying to flirt? But I have no clue what she said either

*Goes to sit down just behind him. Lifting his head to rest on her lap. Her thighs making perfect cushions*

Ahh. well then.. You'll have to show me just how one "runs on" someone.

I don't even know what I said! *Nervous chuckle* That's not even a sentence where we're from!.... *Runs home whimpering in embarrassment*

Was it something she said?

1

*laughs a little* She'll be fine. She bounces back quickly

*Looking down at Araavos* You seem relaxed...

I am.

*Smiling. Running her fingers through his hair* I love you... you know that?

Well, if she's gone, then what about you?

What about her?

I don't know... but i'd like to..

I bet..

Hey, you did....

Yeah but...

What? You saying she's not good enough?

Well no!

Then why would I not want to?

*rolls his eyes and gets a drink*

I'd rather not... Not when he seems so.... nervous about it.... He comes first. No matter what.

You'd rather not talk to me? Gee Nio, your mate here's kinda rude huh? *grabs a drink* Guess i'll take this to go and find someone else to talk to then... You guys have fun then... *turns and heads to the bonfire*
