[ It had all happened so fast. Seeing Gulool Ja Ja fall had been the last thing on her mind... and what had happened with Zoraal Ja?
When everything wasn't making sense, suddenly there they were- Y'shtola and Raha, and she tackled them both as soon as she came out of her shock. Of course, there were things left to explain, and they listened, but at least with them there, her resolve returned- especially with Erenville in such pain. She wanted to reassure him, and tried...
Though he's gone off and she does want to look for him, but while they have a moment to recuperate, she holds G'raha's hand once they've done what they can to help and sit outside by Downripple in the Resplendent Quarter, waiting before everyone regroups, and lays her head against his shoulder. ]
... and that's all that's happened. 'tis so much... we were having a good time in Shaaloani, and then all this... I'm so glad you're here, Raha.
[ Though he had agreed to stay behind for the right of succession. It was all he could do (with Y'shtola) to get on the next ship over to Tural. After hearing out everything, and everyone- it's a nice reprieve to go ahead and go regroup.
He was so happy to see Megumi, and of course finally get a glimpse of this Erenville that she spoke so highly of. Though it seems his home got tangled in whatever mess was happening over in Shaaloani. ]
I'm glad to see you hale and whole. 'Tis good we arrived when we did.
[ He raises his free hand to stroke her head. He really did miss her. ]
How long do you think we have before we should gather everyone up again?
[ Perhaps they could chat for a while longer, knock their heads together about the situation...or spend that time catching up. ]
[ Well, she HAS filled him in on what she can... and she knows he'll be preoccupied with Ketenramm and the others when they do have to regroup, so it's all for the best right now that they spend some time together first.
Since people are too scared to emerge now, she can be openly affectionate, wrapping her arm around G'raha's waist and setting her head against his chest. ]
We've done what we could. We're just waiting for a linkpearl call, so ... I'd rather we spend it together. Something tells me we'll be too busy for it, after.
[ Her tail wraps around his. ]
This is not how I wanted you and Erenville to meet proper- not that you don't know him already, but...
[ It would have been nice to officially meet Erenville on better terms. They had seen each other in passing in Old Sharlayan, sure...but. Well, that was besides the point. To G'raha's knowledge, his home had been encapsulated by the dome and there was no current contact with those assumed to be in the dome.
He would need to see it first hand to have any true opinions about it.
He nestles Megumi into his arms, kissing her forehead. ]
We should be patient with him, he is worried or his home. Rightfully so.
[ His tail twines with hers, comfortable. ]
Tell me where your head is at, love. I know you have the most cool head in this situation, aye? Are you okay too?
[ He would be remiss not to check in on her, especially after the events that transpired when they were stopping the Final Days. G'raha Tia has grown immensely as a partner in that time, knowing that regular check ins were sorely needed! ]
[ They also did have that cute little lunch with Wuk Lamat and Erenville too- it's so strange how it feels like that was an eternity ago. But she purrs a little as her forehead is kissed, nodding. ]
Mm... I know. He should be worrying... I'd be going insane from worry if I were him.
[ She sighs and looks ahead of them, at the small pool of water before them. ]
I'm... not certain about what to think of this. 'tis all so out there. So I'm trying to not stress myself with unknowns until we have a better picture.
[ She lifts her head to kiss the side of G'raha's jaw. ]
He wanted to take me to meet his mother. 'tis so sweet, don't you think?
It wasn’t our intention, truly. One thing lead to another. I’d only intended to visit Ishgard on a task for the Students and couldn’t resist his invitation to come over for a meal.
[And what a dessert Aymeric is. The Lord Commander of Ishgard is truly a marvel. ]
Estinien isn’t so much tough as he is focused on his restlessness. He travels so much.
[G’raha sniffs at her. ] But he comes around when he’s ready, aye?
Heh. If he had invited you some time before this, he'd have been too shy to do anything like that. Being wed has opened him up more.
[ She is so fond, and proud of Aymeric for chasing his desires safely. She wants him to be loved and cherished so much.
G'raha gets a return sniff, though, and a little kiss as she nuzzles his nose. ]
He does... and he will. 'Tis what makes reunions all that sweeter.
[ Her gaze softens. ]
Try as I might, though... what happened to Wuk Lamat and Koana... they're being so brave, because they have no time to mourn. I wish we could do something more for them.
[ She gets it too. She experienced this as a child. ]
So please... we have to find answers. No one should be left feeling like they could have avoided something out of their hands.
[ She is more than happy to be "spoiled" like this- and when he does, she all too happily lifts her arms around his neck to pull him close, kissing him fully and intensely.
Everything hurts- all of this, for the people here, for Erenville. But she needs this, if just for a little bit- to give her a little selfish boost for why she's working so hard.
G'raha is a wonderful mate, and she'll have to write to Aymeric once she calls him on linkpearl- Estinien will be wandering around, too. But for now?
She returns the kiss intimately, lovingly, comforted in the familiarity of his mouth and body, his scent- and threads her fingers in his hair to keep them close until she pulls back just enough to whisper- ]
Keep that up and a kiss isn't where this spoiling will stop, my love.
[ She chuckles softly, bumping foreheads and noses... he is always so indulgent, so handsome to her and so loving- she kisses him softly again and massages his head behind his ears gently. ]
'twould be rather gauche if we did anything more than kiss... especially after a death. [ And a majority of the others would be able to smell it. ] ... so. Come find me in mine chambers after we're done? I'd want to check on Erenville first, too...

Date: 2024-07-20 05:08 am (UTC)[He turns his head to take her lips in a kiss briefly. It feels nice to finally be in her presence. ]
I’ll make sure to do my best to help you with what knowledge I have. I promise.
[His gaze softens. ]
I want to be hopeful that can still happen. Even if not right away.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-20 05:21 am (UTC)[ She returns the kiss, then kisses him again, sniffing a little. ]
'tis faint, but I smell him on you too. Did you both...?
[ The only reason Aymeric's scent would be this strong... ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-20 05:31 am (UTC)[ He gives her another few kisses. Gentle and full of romance.
Regarding Aymeric…]
He’s quite the lover.
[ He’s a little bashful now! ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-20 06:28 am (UTC)When he said he wanted to know you better, I didn't quite imagine he'd get to know you so intimately. But full glad am I that you both did.

I imagine Estinien would be a little more resistant, though...

Date: 2024-07-20 05:18 pm (UTC)Her heart is big too, it always has been. He would make sure whoever hurt her would get double from him. ]
We’re going to do everything we can, I know we will. Innocent lives are on the line, and you know we won’t stand for anyone else being hurt.
[ He squeezes her hands. ]
Do you want to go look for Erenville?
no subject
Date: 2024-07-20 05:32 pm (UTC)[ She appreciates the comfort so much- the touches, the kisses- they mean a lot to her as a creature aligned to touch.
She returns each kiss lovingly, nestled against him and gives him a squeeze. ]
I will... though I think he's with Wuk Lamat right now. Helping...
[ She nudges G'raha's cheek with her face. ]
I love you, you know that, aye? And I've a feeling you'll adore him too, once you get to know him as well.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-21 02:17 am (UTC)[ He loves being nestled in with her. She's comforting. He's glad that he, too, can be a source of comfort.
He nudges her face back gentle and loving. ]
I will undoubtably appreciate him as much as you do, my love. It's just an unfortunate time. We haven't all had time to sit down and talk proper.
HATE THAT I DIDN'T GET NOTIFIED FOR THIS AT ALL
Date: 2024-07-24 10:42 pm (UTC)You're here now. Let's do our best to see this to the end, and we'll find the time for us... Would you like to walk back together?
[ Though she isn't moving right away. No one's called, they still have time.
She's just glad he's here, and relieved for it. ]
IT IS A RUDE!!
Date: 2024-07-25 04:15 am (UTC)[ By spoil, he means tilting her head up so their lips can meet.
They haven’t had a good, proper kiss since he arrived. It could help them blow off a little bit of the restlessness too. ]

Date: 2024-07-25 07:26 pm (UTC)[His eyelids are lowered, his eyes are a glassy ruby. Obviously he’s had his fair share of time to think about her.
If she would want him right now, she would not deny him. If they had time, he would give her all of his attention.
His head is obediently leaned into her hands, relishing in how her hands feels in his hair.

She's so grateful, her husbands are so understanding. I will need them to have a most slutty fuck later, actually,, ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-01 07:25 pm (UTC)[And so he slides his arms around her. Letting her lean and cuddle against him as she needed.
They’ll be called to depart soon and he wants to make sure everything he is in order.
So too is it important to make sure one self is in order too. So he will hold her until they need to go. ]
