☬-Thorn of The Rose-☬ 2x2 W/ Wolfrunner & Spiritstar3

[wolfrunner]

Rena gasped at a temporary loss for words as her eyes instantly darted around her. The young women even going to far as to rush over to Orion and take his arm as she scanned their surroundings before releasing him and backing off, a bow of respect and apologies for her actions following. The young women listened as she accepted the linen folding it over her arm with her gaze locked on Orion. Her thoughts going fast over and over themselves in her mind as she tried to comprehend just what the Pureblood was saying.

“Us? Leave now?”, Rena questioned as she mentally fought through the fog that whirled in her brain at the thought that she’d actually heard him right. Did she though? Or was she just imagining things? No. After what had happened with the pair of them going into the town and all being real then surely this was truly happening as well. “No wait please do not leave!”, she said quickly with a bit of fear creeping into her voice, “I do....want to leave with you that is! I shall go now and be swift about packing! It shall only be but a moment!” Tossing the pillow case carelessly onto the drying line, Rena turned back to Orion before picking up her skirts and making haste along to do just as she said.

She was leaving and with Orion! Orion who’d come just to fetch her and take her away, sweep her off her feet! The young women couldn’t hold back the water that came to her eyes as she ran to her quarters ready to move on with her life.

“Then I would say it looks as though we will be staying here for the remainder of the evening. This promises a pleasant evening at long last, you must take care not to spoil me with these.”

Feeling movement then on the couch, Lucas lay still letting Akira get comfortable before relaxing as though he wished to sink into the cushions and. Be swallowed by them. His chin rest light on top of blond and his free arm came up to loosely rest over her. “Our wedding? I know one thing for certain, Twould not be a small affair, rather Twould be a grand affair....the grandest in a long while with many guests and of then you in the center of it all. The colours should be bright and rich as to fit such an occasion whatever those colours may be. Though I would endeavour to suggest that we keep away from any form of red.”

At an equally hurried pace, Orion trotted alongside Rena. He seemed rather surprised Rena so readily and willingly agreed to go along with him. Yet she was...crying? Humans really were an odd bunch.

" Ms. Rena, you claim you are fine with this, so why is it that such tears fall from your eyes? If you do not wish to go along, I do not fault you. 'Tis your happiness I wish for, not your tears." a caring tone. He was sure that, should Lucas have been there in that moment, some snarky comment would've been made about how such falsehoods were ill-fitting of him.

"I understand that 'tis a bit sudden-"

[wolfrunner]

So it didn’t sound as though they had farms directly under their protection but they did aide in protecting farms on occasion should the need for extra hands, or rather fangs, be called for. Had this been a month or any time before the girl would have smiled or otherwise been happy about the existence of both species together. But not anymore. Those days were gone. Aralynn was just pleased it wasn’t every night where one of them had to leave the manor for such a task, or that they were solely responsible. There were others that were.

“I think I can see why the farming situation would be more ideal. I doubt going after a wild animal is more reliable and sustainable then keeping livestock such as cows or goats on hand and caring for them instead. But if the weather here is like it was those first few days then there should be some decent rainfall for farms. They seem as though they are doing alright as of now.”

[owl0430]

"Twould not be so bad if I were to spoil you now would it?" she teased with a light chuckle.

"Perhaps an array of purples and blues then, with hints of white to break up the color a bit? Of course, we've plenty of options and time to think on it. I would almost recommend Vretellas as a location for how beautiful it was. But that 'tis far to long of a journey. I'm sure there's somewhere that isn't a horrible journey that would be just as beautiful. Though we are in agreement on the red. "

" T'wil be a wonderful day though when it does happen, yes? Full of laughter and joy."

[owl0430]

" Yes, the farms do quite well- regardless of the weather. Should there not be enough rainfall, the king will hire those with aquatic abilities to help. Should the nights grow too cold, those with fire abilities to keep the frost from ruining the crops.

" By the way, my dear, before I forget I should warn you that the progenitor's ball will be taking place soon. I will be required to attend, and the majority of our residents will be attending. Is there anyone in specific you would like to stay behind to keep you company that night? And yes, yes, I know you swore you would never leave me to my own devices again- but the progenitors ball poses no risk to my wellbeing. Furthermore, the king will be there."

The blonde smiled as she touched the flower, gently. She cupped it gently with her hand, then pulled her hand back after a bit. She glanced round, looking to the boys and the two little ones. She then looked to the sky, and smiled a bit.

The dark haired boy smiled as he looked at Nina a moment. He then patted Ai a couple times, rubbing her back some. His hand soon went back to her head, her hair in particular. He smiled as he brushed at her hair, petting it, soothing her. Not that she was a fussy baby, nor upset about anything. He shook his head at himself, then glanced to Rigel. He heard the puff of air from the other. He shook his head at him, then listened in silence as the other spoke of himself. "Well, I've definitely seen you fight others. Those times were always to protect...me...and Akira once or twice I think." He said this, then fell silent again once more. He tilted his head as he watched the other look at him and the girls a moment.

He made a sound of curiousity at the expression he saw here. He then shook his head, looking away for a moment. He looked back to Rigel after a bit, tilting his head once more. He saw the look on the face of the other, as if he were thinking. He wondered what the other could be thinking of. If that's what he was doing, thinking, Haruna wondered what he thought of. Was he thinking of his parents? Was he thinking of his brother, of himself, of his family? Was he thinking of the two little ones with them? One at their feet and one lying against Haruna, already so much a part of their lives. Was he...was he thinking of Haruna? Without thinking, Haruna's free hand crept over to touch Rigel's hand.

The reddish brown haired little one opened her eyes a moment. She giggled as she looked to her sister, then looked to Isabella. The female vampire looked at them a moment, then the sky. Ai shook her head a bit, eyes closing when Haruna began to play with her hair again.

[wolfrunner]

"A Ball?"

A Ball was coming up shortly? And one that had something to do with- Her fist around the clump of their equine's hair flexed tightening. Aralynn's eyebrows knitted forward with each other as she stared at the passing fields of crops as they made their ways through.

[wolfrunner]

A light breeze kicked up blowing away the small pile of ripped up grass which Nina had been carefully stacking. She watched as the breeze made a small mess of the green strands before moving to gather what she could back up, careful not to miss any. The little girl liked having a small stack that almost looked like a tiny nest of sorts to work from, it made tying the grass strands easier in her opinion.

Rigel looked over at Nina messing carelessly with something as mundane as strands of lawn.

After which he turned towards Ai resting looking perfectly content in Haruna's lap.

And his mother who didn't speak a word, though he had the annoying feeling that Isabella Renier's thoughts were quite loud and busy supervising the group from a silent distance.

The Renier didn't say anything but upon turning back to relax and enjoy the last bit of the waning day before calling it was time to go inside, he felt something. A glance and his hand had ever so lightly brushed Haruna's which was closer then the blonde recalled it being. Rigel instantly lifted his hand. "Appologies."

The blonde stared up into the sky, and thought. She thought back to when her sons were children, and they could be together like this. She and her husband would make time to enjoy time outside with them, or anywhere else for that matter. Feeling eyes on her, she looked to Rigel and Haruna, smiling then looking around.

The dark haired boy smiled as he looked to Nina, again, a moment. He noticed she was stacking a pile of grass she'd ripped from the ground. He shook his head at this, then glanced to Ai. She seemed perfectly content where she was, upon his lap. He found his eyes wandering to Isabella. Despite Rigel being adopted, their blonde hair resembled each other greatly. He shook his head a bit, turning his attention away again. He focused on the girls again, then Rigel.

He felt his cheeks heat up and color as the other male spoke. He'd felt the brush of skin (hand) on skin (hand) just before that, as well. He shook his head at the blonde, saying "It's not...it's not a problem. Who says I mind?" he asked him. Close! It had been so close, yet slipped away. He let a sigh of...disappointment, irritation, both perhaps, escape him. He stroked the girl's hair a bit more, then looked up. "I think it's time to go in," he said, or almost time to anyway.

The reddish brown haired little one smiled as she laid against him. She made a small sound that could be described as a hum, a humanoid purr, or perhaps both. She was perfectly content here. She wished she could stay like this forever. However, she knew that just wasn't possible. She opened her eyes to glance at her sister a moment, then Isabella. She then closed her eyes again, as Haruna let her head. She sighed when he said it was time to go in...
