3 Weeks go by. The Nausea has started kicking in for Both Hua and Twyla. And By now Nio and Fotia have returned. Fotia Noticing when she returned she began feeling a bit Sick. So she and Nio have Scheduled a Trip to the Local Healer's to figure out what it is. Onyx still hasn't returned so Yuray has been depressed about it. Once Nio returned she knew what would come next and she wasn't looking forward to that meeting. Hua and Hala have been well. She's been keeping his spirits up when she knows he needs it. And she's been spending more time with Araavos also. Laika has been mentally and Physically Preparing for her Trip back to Lyra Eos. On the one hand. She doesn't want to leave Makana again yet. But on the other. she missed Dante and is very excited to see him again

*At home packing while Makana plays with her toys*

*Under the tree with Araavos*

*trying not to get too excited about her nausea. not wanting to get her hopes up to high.* (edited)

*pacing in her house. trying to mentally prepare herself*

*also mentally preparing herself. knowing Nio may be dreading this, she decides to get some food for the both of them. soon walking up to him and handing him a bowl*

Heh, thanks.

Of course, Honey. I know today isn't going to be easy....

Do I really have to go up dere?

Sadly....yes.....

What's da point in bein a reefbearer demigod diplomat ting if me no get ta say me no want ta do someting eh?

What dey even want wit me anyway? Dey already got their new parents of my kids... Yuray's been yelled at, me dad's been yelled at, what more left? *sits down where he stands, almost out of protest* Seems everyting already taken care of.

They want your piece on the matter.... That's all

You want my piece? Here it is yea? To hell wit all of dem.... First Yuray decide for me, den my dad decide for me, den da council decide for me. NOW dey want my opinion? Well dey can want all dey want, I not be saying a ting.

*sits beside him in the sand* Then you don't have to.... We can call the meeting off.... Then tell the council you refuse to say your piece.... (edited)

*coming over*

9:46 PM

*Following close to her*

9:49 PM

Good Afternoon to you all. Nio, Twyla.. I hope you've been doing well.

*stands up and heads to the bar*

*Watches him go* Lovely talk..

He just needs time.... It's still a lot for him.... I'm sure you two will be a lovely family, but.... he did loose rights to those children....

Well He could still very much be a part of their lives if he wishes.

I'd talk to him about it.... It wouldn't mean as much coming from me....

You think it will work?...it's not even the same...

Even still. It isn't unheard of.. He is still their Biological father is he not? He has a right to his Children

2:06 AM

He could Co-Parent if he wishes. He could even take them to spend time with them now and then as long as he wants.

2:07 AM

We are simply happy to bring the little ones into the world.

I think he'd really like that....

If he would like.. we'll give him Naming rights when they are born.

I can get behind that.

Well what are you two waiting for? Go talk to him. I might even join you

*Taking Kiana's Hand* I suppose we should.. *Heading towards the bar*

*walking alongside him*

*following behind the couple*

*already making another drink and his first is still in his hand*

*Approaching the bar with caution* Nio? Have you got a moment for us to discuss something with you?

I guess.

*over on the beach taking samples of the water*

*sits at the bar. letting them talk*

*sits beside Nio. gently nudging his hand with hers*

We.. Wanted to Talk to you about the Children.. We think it could be beneficial to not only them, but you as well if you.. possibly co parent them alongside us.. We've decided to give you Naming rights when they are born. And You may see them. Or take them to spend time with them as often as you wish.

We saw it fit because... Well you wanted them....she did not....You deserve some kind of presence in their lives....

It's not that I wanted it to happen, it's that it did, but it meant nothing.

*was out looking for Nio for the meeting with the council.* Oh, there you are. Da council be waiting for you yeah?

I'm not coming.

Nio, I get that you're...

I'm not going Hala... I don't need to be told what's going to happen, I already know. I don't need sympathy or pity, it doesn't do any good, and if Yuray wants to talk to me, she can come find me like you did yea? Otherwise, up dere, it just what everyone else want to hear. Well not me, I not be listenin.

I'll.....let them know... nio... But hey.. *placing his hand on his shoulder* no matter how rough da tide gets, ya can always swim... Da shore will wait for ya. *and with that he heads up the hill to deliver the news to the elders*

*Still sitting there with Araavos. Laying between his legs. Her head back comfortably against his chest*

*laying there observing everything in silent contemplation*

*gently squeezes his hand* Good job, honey....

*Deciding to get himself a drink*

*Looking up at Araavos* Are you alright?

I am. How's Hala doing?

Too bad I can't drink. *chuckles*

Oh please. It's still early

He's... Doing better.. At least it seems. He'll have his moments now and then when we're alone and he just needs to talk about things.

2:56 AM

I've learned so much more about him than I ever thought I would in what feels like such a short time.

It is tragic..... isn't it.

*Nods* Have you ever lost a loved one?.

Only a few.................billion or so.

*Now turns to look at him* Wow.. You've.. Had quite a lot more Experience than I Realized.... After so many does.. it just stop hurting?

It does not.

That must be torture...

3:00 AM

*Gripping his hand softly*

It would be, but time, holds no meaning to me. I'm there with them right now.

Even the ones who have passed?.

Of course.

3:02 AM

They don't simply stop existing, just because time has taken them from this place. They still exist. Just not in this moment.

You're Very Fascinating and yet somehow such a Tragic soul. But I suppose it's just one of the many things I love about you... God or not.. I love you. For who you are.

I love you too.. *leans his head down to kiss her forehead*

*Smiles. Moving his hands to rest on her Belly and sighing softly* I don't think I'm going to want to get up from this spot anytime soon... You may be stuck here for awhile yea? *She teased lightly*

*he grins* I've got nothing but time...

Indeed... But do you not get bored or uncomfortable? Surely can't just hold you hostage here forever *Sticking her tongue out at him*

Ah, but i'm not just here, now am I?

I suppose not. How does it work anyway? You being.. well.. everywhere at once.?

Well. it's honestly not much different from your perspective. I'm here, with you, in this moment, right now. You have my full attention. But at the same time, a piece of me exists elsewhere having dinner with my wife of fifty years. And yet, i'm also on a first date with a lovely girl I met on a cold winter night at a snowed in lodge. And so on and so forth. Think of it like a trillion pieces of a large puzzle, but can have a piece, and there's limitless pieces, but it's all the same puzzle. Regardless of which piece of me you get, it's still me.

*awkwardly trying to start up conversation* So... Nio... What kind of drink do you like?

I don't think he has a favorite.

Doesn't hurt to ask

Darling there's no need for Strained conversation.

She's right though, i don't

I don't either. I'm not picky 'bout my drinks yea?

I guess, look it's cool and all, what you're doing yea? But, it shou;dn't even be a ting. If only she......... neva mind, it no matta now...

*puts a hand on his shoulder gently*

Hey, we've always wanted children, but.... Goodness, it's hurting you, and I wish we could help.....

I can't imagine how you feel Nio. But hey.. you have another family on the way yea? *Gesturing to Twyla* The little rascals could grow up together.

10:01 AM

Dis still your family yea? We just holding onto it for you for now *He chuckles* But I am sorry for what she did to ya..

10:01 AM

Nobody deserve Dat

What worse is, i don know why yea? I not once be mean ta her ya kno.

Hate ta say it. But it because of who you are. And what you are. She just one of dem girls looking for the next big thing. Something different to stand out for their own benefit.

yea, well i neva ask ta be special

Nobody ever does. But ya can't let it get to ya..

10:07 AM

*Pat's his shoulder lightly* You ever wanna talk Man to man. You can find me yea?

Being different isn't all bad.... You can't let one bad fruit ruin the basket, yea?

Her parents must be disgusted with her honestly.....

never met dem

Probably for good reason. Think about it. Most children develop some kind of aspects of their parents. What if they're just as snobby or superficial?

Well could also be product of da surroundings. She not da only girl dat was all over him and I doubt they wanted much more either yea? She following what popular. Eitha way. She not your problem now. You just focus on the family you do have yea?

Well I'm happy to have the you here with me right now.

I intend to.

Happy to be here.

*Raising his drink cup up* To family?

I don't think I'll ever understand what compelled her to do that at the wedding, when the goal is to potentially pursue future relationships--- *heard him and sees him raise the glass* Oh! Yes, of course. *Raised hers* To Family.

*raises hers* it's water

Kiana you can drink normal alcohol ya know..

yeah, apparrantly noting gon mess dem up. except da parents.

You sure?....

dat what dey tell me. guess dat why it more okay for family to.....you know. god blood an all.

Pretty sure if the Fatha who happens to be a reefbearer and Son of... a.. Magic man. Say it okay. Den it must be yeah?

10:35 AM

Not sure what a god is. But if it's just another word for a Person who weilds magic abilities.. then I guess that what he be. Eitha way. He say they be fine. Best listen to him yea?

Jono, Darling.... *pulls him in to whisper* this will be our one chance at a family..... Do you really want to risk it?....

Do you want to Argue with someone like Nio? Take his word for it yea? If he says it's okay. Then it's okay. And we've known others who have had children. Twyla is right. It too early for harm to be done anyway yea?

10:41 AM

*Kisses her cheek* Enjoy yourself yea?

10:42 AM

I'm goin' ta get us some food now *Getting up and heading back to the bonfire*

standing up, nearly off balance tink I'll just go home yea? and without waiting for a reply, he heads that way, stumbling his way home

*worried, she follows him. Gently taking his arm around her.* Hey Sweetheart.... You're gonna fall over... Let me help?

*as hes walking with Twy* Maybe if I had sex with her at least I could pretend I had them the right way...

*as she's helping him to the house* Oh honey....No.... It wouldn't help.... Look, I.... *Sighs* I wish I knew how to make you feel better.... All I can offer is my company....

I guess

*Leads him inside, Where she made sure he was laying comfortably on the couch. Before giving him a soft kiss on his cheek. And Turning to go speak to Yuray... As much as she didn't want to. She knows she has to do it for him.*

*Soon returned with He and Kiana's Food after getting Caught up in a bit of spitballing with Hala. Only to Notice Twyla and Nio both Gone* Oh.. Where dey go?

Nio's drunk and Twy took him home?

Ah. Poor Fellow. Well. I hope he gets some rest at least. *Setting their bowls down and Nuzzling her*

*Sitting up now* Hey Sweetheart? Would you mind if i go find Nio? I... Feel like i should check on him..

Not at all, this going to be an all day thing, or should I stick around?

I just have a feeling I need to go check on him. I shouldn't be long. *Kissing his neck softly and standing up. in doing so giving him a nice view of her ass since she wasn't facing him*

4:12 PM

*Ruffling his hair before heading off to Look for Nio. Not immediately seeing him anywhere on the Beach or At the bar. his usual spaces. She decides to check the House.* (edited)

*out walking around, taking in the village*

*Standing out by the Water's Edge looking out at the Horizon* I'll see you again soon.. I promise... I just wish i could bring our baby with me...*Petting Makana's Head. Since she's right beside her.*

*storming out of Nio's. not even watching where she was going and bumping into Tesla*

*gets pushed forward a bit, knocking her slifghtly off balance, messing up her calculations* Hey what gives!

You were in MY way, thank you

I don't recall seing where this route was already planned out. So what's your deal anyway?

You don't know already?.....fine.... I slept with a guy, got pregnant, but didnt want to be pregnant, then magic man poofed them away, then I wanted then back, then he gives them to some random couple, my boyfriend leaves me, I go apologize, they think I'm lying, and kicked me out. we good?

Sounds like you have an image problem... *adjusts her posture to be more firmly planted*

....I never mentioned that

Didn't have to, it's written all over your face.. *brushes off some sand, in a calm matter of fact voice, the sass gone, she's analyzing now* That and you said it yourself. Nobody believes you. But what you're not saying, is you care about that. And since you're clearly not satisfied with that scenario, it would occur to me, that you're not being seen the way you hoped you would. That to me sounds like an image problem. So you did in fact mention it. You just have to listen.

*sighs* Great. Now some spooky raven lady is reading me like a novel.... (edited)

You wish honey, you're not that interesting..... But you could be.

What's that supposed to mean?

Not bright? That's okay. I mean, I can help you with your image problem.

How so?

Lessons aren't free. I need an assistant... You help me, i'll help you spin this around. Whatever it is. And get your image fixed. *extends her hand* Deal?

...*takes her hand* Alright I suppose....

Good. I'm hungry fetch my lunch, then you can tell me more how much damage you've done already. Oh, and, nothing alcoholic to drink, we're working.

The fuck you drink then?

I don't suppose you have a menu? I'm sure you'll figure it out, in fact, that's your first challenge, reading people. What do you see?

*rolls her eyes and walks off*

Every second your eyes are up there, they're not focused on what's in front of you. You're only wasting your own time. *she says, her voices raised just enough to carry without yelling*

*comes back with two fruit bowls and some water*

Interesting choice, now why did you make it?

It's easy

The choice was easy, or making it was? Did you think about what you were grabbing? Or just what you thought was safe? Did you even think about it at all?

No? I just grabbed some damn fruit and put it in a bowl--- Do you want it or not?!

You can set it over there. So why didn't you think about it? Would it not be in **YOUR** self interest to make sure the one who offered to help you out, is satisfied with your end of the deal? It would seem to me, if I were being offered something, in exchange for something, i'd do my best to offer that something as agreed upon, and then do it better. Wouldn't you agree? After all, if your goal is to grab attention, wouldn't it benefit you to do something exceptional?

I tried alright?

So if I handed that to you, you'd accept it without question assuming I put in effort? Or you just trying to move on to the next part?

......

Thought as much, tell you what, you enjoy the snack while you think about how badly you need my help, and that if you can't even get the one person willing to help you behind you, what chance do you stand without her, hmm? When you figure it out, i'll take something with a bit more thought. Impress me.

*begrudgingly does so*

Don't forget your fruit...

I'll come back for it

And if the opertunity is gone when you get back? It's there now, will it be later?

*grabs her bowl in a huff and leaves*

*once she's outta sight, grabs the bowl popping a few pieces of fruit in her mouth* I'd have sold it harder, not a bad selection, just didn't present it with confidence... We'll get there... *pops a few more in then goes to find a place to relax in the shade*

*comes back with a serving of (insert lunch here)* Here. It's bolder. More impressive. You should take it now surely

Why should I take it? Bolder how? More impressive how? Make me want it.

10:16 PM

Scratch that... don't make me want it... make me need it.

It's Hala's cooking. Best in this area? Come on, it'slike....everything poeple talk about

Not me, I don't talk about it, so why don't you tell me?

*Heading over to the Tree to see if he's there*

Why? Can't you just take it? It's with thought this time!

Does it bother you that i'm not taking it?

Yes!

*going into the healer's hut with Nio*

Why does it bother you?

Because I am trying to give it to you and you wont take it

Because you don't care, if I take it or not, you only care that I do what **YOU** want so that **YOU** can get what **YOU** want. Now, let's try this, why do you want my help?

Because I need it.....

Which means, you'll pay whatever cost to get it, because it's no longer a want, it's a need. Which is why you need me to take that lunch. Because it starts the deal you need for me to help you. You see how that works, You create a need, and then offer the product. In this case, you need me to overhaul your image. And I need, you to learn how to please people, starting with me. So, to get what you want... you must first....

But it's the best food you can get here! What more do you want?

But how do I know that? It's presentation, confidence, and personality... Why is it the best? What's it like, why is this, the only dish i'll ever want to consider?

Because everyone says it is! Because IT IS!

Here, i'll show you.. *takes it and looks it over* What do you see? What's in it?

Pork, some grilled pineapple, rice, a few mixed veggies

I see... a hand carved pork tenderloin, artfully diced into perfectly portioned pieces, expertly blended with seasonal vegetables and placed carefully on a mound of white rice. Served beside a slice of pineapple, meticulously grilled to perfection to add a little sweet and smokey notes to the dish.

...so you want it now?

Do you?

...yes

1

Then go get one, i'll take this one... *sits down on a nearby rock*

*goes back to get one*

*breathing heavily behind a tree off on the outskirts*.....This bitch.....But FUCK is she hot. DAMN!

*hearing enough, she opens a portal back to the resort. specifically directly Onyx's room*

*coming over with her bowl*

Alright, well a deal's a deal, so, tell me about why you have an image problem.
