OOC: Aaah, thank you so much! I love how this came out!

I love the texture of her icy skin, it really gives it the feeling of the cold she’s well known for, along with one of the few scars she has visible on her finger.

It’s lovely to finally have a reference, and for it to be drawn so well as i envisioned! Thank you! ♥

Bexy's hands for @umbralsound-xiv !

Bexy has been in pretty much this position with Jacelyn once before, asking for a rematch... Well here she is again.

Kudos my muse @bexyfights for this one. :)

[gottagetmeoneofthese]

I might be the only one left here who also RP'd with you back in the day, so I can do a direct comparison mwahahaha.

It's actually fun and interesting seeing you incorporate the series into how you played Eugene back in the day, and I think you're taking to the new information well! The headcanons you throw at me are insightful, and I'm honestly just so glad to have you back. ;u;

Definitely one of if not the only active Tangled muse from back then from what I've seen!

Eee! Thank you! There’s so many new shinies to work with him. (I am still so very glad that while I was right about his father being alive I was so very WRONG in what happened there xD) I’ll be sure to write more headcanons when I watch the show on my tablet on the plane >:3 

♥♥♥♥♥ And I'm glad to have you back! I've wanted to come back a bunch but was worried it might not last more than a day, and every time one of the reasons for missing Eugene was 'I miss writing with my Bexie ;.;'!

The Bearer Of Bad News.

Newly travelled through the aether, frost still lingers on her shoulders, a look of determination on her features as she quickly makes away along the pathways of the Lavender Beds. Not to the company house, but far further on the outskirts; a small, Eastern styled house with an abundant garden - Though none of it is paid any mind, as she crosses the gate, raising a gloved hand to knock thrice, quickly.

[Bexy] I couldn't delay in telling her, not for a moment. I had no doubt she'd be unhappy for the news, but she deserves to know...

Within the house, Eir remains settled downstairs, silver gaze lost in the depths of a book. The unfamiliar sound of knocking pulls his attention from the text, over to Sayuri. "…Did you hear that…?" Eir asks, a little uncertain.

Sayuri's ears twitch at the sound of the knock, brows furrowing as she slowly closed the sketchbook she had been sat drawing in. ".. I did hear that." She confirms.

"…Then it was not my imagination…" Perplexed, Eir settles a bookmark between the pages, and closes it to settle on the blankets. "…We were not expecting guests…?" He asks, making for the stairs, brow knit.

".. Not as far as I'm aware. I've had no call." Sayuri settled down her sketchbook and pushed herself out of her seat, brushing a hand over the front of the skirt of her yukata to smooth it out before continuing after Eir.

Eir ascends the stairs, striding over the kitchen and living room towards the door. Pulling a key out of his pocket, it's settled into the lock, which is slowly turned, the door almost hesitantly pulled open… Before he gives a sigh of relief. "…And here i thought we were being called upon by a stranger…" He smiles, opening the door to allow her in.

[Eir] Not that i am unhappy to see Bexy coming to call, only... I thought it strange she had not called ahead. Already, i was worried...

"Greetings, Eir." Bexy replies, head dipping as she offered a polite smile, though she'd long stopped hiding her worry. "…Is Sayuri home? I'd have called before i arrived, but it--- It's important."

Having halted at the foot of the stairs, deciding that Eir did not need handholding to open the door for an unexpected visit. Her ears turn slightly as she listens, catching Bexy's voice and exhaling a small sigh of relief as she, too, began to ascend the stairs to join the others above. ".. Bexy?"

"She is home." Eir nods, though sensing the worry in Bexy's features, and the urgency in which she'd arrived, he turns his head over his shoulder to regard his wife in question.

"Sayuri--- Apologies that i didn't call ahead, and… I hope i am not disturbing…" She steps more fully into the room, allowing the door to close behind her. "…There is something important i need to talk to you about, and it cannot wait. Can we sit?"

"Of course not, you're always welcome." Sayuri offered Bexy a reassuring smile, yet she had clearly caught onto the urgency in her voice. She gestured to the sofa not far from the door itself, brows furrowing with slight worry. ".. Is everything okay?"

"…It is. I think. I mediated my answers the best i could." Bexy takes a deep breath, moving to sit on the sofa as she gathered herself. "…We're not in danger, at least. But i went to the Burning Wall…"

Eir watches between them, lips pulled into a line. He rocks his weight anxiously from one foot to the other. Eventually, he asks, "…Do… You wish for some privacy? I can leave you alone, if it is needed…" Though it's clear he doesn't fully want to depart, clearly worried.

[Eir] ...I did not want to intrude. I... Know she is my wife, but i know that does not mean she has to tell me everything. That some things perhaps... Are not for my ears. Though i suppose if Bexy is already saying this much in my presence...

Bexy shakes her head, though looks to Eir. "…It's not my call to make. It concerns you, Sayuri…"

Sayuri's brow furrows further, ears tilting backwards as her gaze rests upon Bexy. ".. Is it.. the slavers..?" She asks, hesitantly, while reaching a hand for one of Eir's, aiming to gently grasp onto it and give him a small tug as she moved to sit down next to Bexy. ".. Stay?"

The small tug was all Eir needed to remain by her side. His fingers lace with hers, and as she moves to sit, he opts to settle beside her, listening quietly.

[Bexy] Gods, i can't even begin how to think to word this better. Nothing i say, save for perhaps me telling her that the situation is... Managed, will make any of this better.

"No. At least… I don't think so." Taking a deep breath, Bexy sighs, eyes meeting with Sayuri's own. "…Someone was looking for you. Not a slaver, i don't think; If she was, she was doing a very convincing impression. A Seeker woman. Long, dark hair, white highlights, one white eye. Sayuri…" Bexy trails, almost uneasy, uncertain as to how exactly to deliver the news, and quietly thankful Eir was beside her for the support she'd likely need. "…She claimed to be your mother."

She squeezed Eir's hand faintly, ears remaining down as she listens to the description Bexy gives. The next set of words erases the concerned expression she had held, surprise and/or shock taking its place. ".. My--.." She's not quite able to complete the sentence, instead leaning backwards a touch as her grasp of Eir's hand tightens - processing the information she had just received.

Eir holds her tightly, releasing her hand if only to curl an arm around her, and offer the other one for holding if she'd wished for it. He has questions; Of course he does. But for now, he keeps his quiet, and listens.

"She knew your name, Sayuri. The one from before, and the name of your father. She was following the ice i'd left the last we'd encountered the slavers." Bexy laces her own hands together, ears a little lower on her head. "…She told me she'd searched for more than twenty cycles. And that… I might think her crazy for doing so. I told her nothing. Just that… If i had any information, i would tell her, a short while from now. It's up to you as to what you'd like me to say."

Sayuri's gaze drops to the ground, locking atop the floorboards as she notably tenses up, her natural chill beginning to drop in temperature while specks of ice creep into existence across her arms and hands. "..--Grym-- He- he knows my full name, he could've told her, if she was--.." Her hand swiftly seeks out Eir's once more, aiming to grasp it tightly. "..I-.. I don't.. remember my mother well, but.. the description.. it feels.. wrong.."

[Eir] I know her mother is a woman she has no love for. This is... Not good news. Why would she search for her, after all this time? After everything they have put her through? No. No, they do not get to treat her like this, opting to care only when it suits them.

"…Perhaps her appearance has changed? Your own has, in the time we've known eachother? ---If this is Grym's doing, i swear, he won't get his hands on you again. I was careful, i promise. I told her nothing." Bexy reassures, quietly.

Noting the specks of ice, all Eir can do is press a kiss to her temple as a gentle reassurance. "…If it is not her, she does not know anything. If they are of that -bastard-, they would know better than to approach Bexy." Giving her a comforting squeeze, he adds; "…And if it is indeed your mother… You owe her nothing, Sayuri. You are under no obligation to speak with her."

"I-.. I don't know.." There's a clear hesitation, her body beginning a small rocking motion. "..They should know better than to touch me, too, but they keep coming after me.." She half-whispers, the specs of ice expanding along her arms. ".. And if-.. if it is my mother.." The grasp she has of Eir's hand tightens further, her free hand balling up so tightly her knuckles whiten. ".. She didn't protect me from him.. Another tried in her stead, but she.. she didn't.."

"They keep coming, and we'll keep killing them. They will not take you again, Sayuri. Whatever you want me to tell her, even if it is simply to leave you be… Your words are mine. You need never see her, if you don't want to." Bexy's brow knits. She knows her words had upset her, and yet, she knew it was better than hiding the truth.

[Bexy] ...Better the tears of truth than blissful ignorance, though i really do hate to upset her. Still. It's taken her cycles to even follow the thread this far. If this is indeed Sayuri's mother, i don't think she'll be able to find her without my help.

Eir pulls her close, head nudging to her own. "…She did not. But we will protect you, now. You have nothing to lose, my Moon. With or without her, you have people who love you, dearly."

With reassurance from both sides, and head gently pressed against Eir's, Sayuri closes her eyes as she feels them beginning to well up, trying to hold back the tears despite knowing that she didn't need to. She fails to quell a sob, her free hand rising to cup over her mouth in some attempt to muffle the sound.

Bexy looks a little helplessly to Eir. She hadn't known how she'd take the news, but the small, distressed wilt of her ears had indicated she hadn't expected it to be received so poorly.

Eir, meanwhile, glances to Bexy. A small shake of his head is offered in her direction; A reassurance, a mute indication that it wasn't her fault. "…We have you." Eir whispers, allowing her to cry as much as she felt she needed. "I will stand by whatever decision you choose to take."

She leaned against Eir to take in his comfort, the hand cupped over her mouth eventually slipping off and up to dry the tears from her eyes as she takes a moment to gather herself, exhaling a deep, shaky breath in the process. "..I-.. S-sorry.."

"…Don't apologise. It's.. Difficult news. A lot to process, and i'm sorry for just… Arriving, and telling you without no kind of warning, but… You had to know, Sayuri. You had a right to know. I would have never kept it from you…" The admission is delivered with a small frown, watching as she wept.

"You have nothing to be sorry for." Eir murmurs, glancing to Bexy. "Either of you, for that matter. Better for you to cross paths with this woman, than Sayuri, unprepared. It… Is better we know. We are given time to think. Time to prepare…"

[Eir] ...Bexy is right, but that does not make her less upset, even if i understand the... Necessity of her actions. It will be okay. I am here. I will be, always.

Sayuri shook her head gently. "It's not your fault that my parents were awful.. and I'd much rather you tell me directly than I find out later, no matter how it makes me feel.." Her hand dropped down into her lap, despite that her tears weren't quite done falling. "And Eir is right, it's.. better, that I have time to think.. cause if she found me, I might've…" Her voice trails, the unspoken part not particularly hard to guess.

"…I know." Bexy agrees, ears wilted. She glances aside to the cosy room, taking in the small details of the kitchen. "…If it were my mother, i wouldn't entertain a single word. I'd have killed her, i'm certain, for all she put me through. If that's the course you want to take…" Bexy trails in return, half glancing back.

[Eir] Though i hold no love for my mother, i do not think i would be able to kill her. ...It is not for me to judge. I was not there, and i am all too aware of the grief she has endured.

That small realisation draws Eir's lips into a line, dismissing the expression with a small sigh through his nose. "…We have time to formulate whatever response you wish to give her." As Sayuri's tears still fell, he reaches to gently brush them from her cheeks. "…Even if it is a message to tell her you do not wish to see her. Or to give her every angry word she would no doubt deserve. It is your choice, Sayuri. Yours, and yours alone."

Sayuri tilts her head into Eir's palm as he dries her tears, a soft sigh escaping her. "Gods, I don't know.." She frowned. "I have.. so much anger towards that woman.. and on the same time.. so many questions.." Her ears flatten wholly, her free hand seeking out the other's forearm to pick at the ice that coats it. ".. I don't know what to do.."

"If you don't wish to face her, i can ask the questions in your stead." Bexy offers, brow knit. "I gave her a place and a time to meet, and failing that, she gave me her name. X'farraia… I can use it to find her on my own terms, i wager."

"…You have no need to jump to decisions. You can think on it…" Eir catches the way her hand moves to pick at the ice, instead taking her hand in his own at an attempt to prevent her hurting herself. "A little time. When the shock has settled, perhaps what you would like to do will be easier to decide…"

Her gaze falls to Eir's hand as it catches her own, opting to squeeze his in return. An ear twitches and her eyes snap to Bexy, offering a slow blink. "..X'farraia..?" She questions, brows furrowing.

"Y…Yes?" Bexy answers, with some quiet hesitation. "…That was the name she gave me, at least." She gives a long pause, then. "…She told me she was looking for her daughter. And her description matched you, before the change. A girl who would be an adult now, with red hair that faded to a brilliant white at the edges. The eye colour… The length of time you'd been gone. Everything. She mentioned Aoki's name, too -- With much the same revulsion you yourself would give him."

Eir's arms are wound protectively about Sayuri, though he listens to Bexy speak. Giving a gentle squeeze of her hands at the mention of her father, he doesn't add to the conversation, wishing not to interrupt.

A puzzled look overtakes her features, the grasp she has of Eir tightening at the mention of her father's name. ".. My mother's name is X'thynira." She spoke quietly. ".. I.. knew a woman with that name, though, but.. she was the mother of two of my half siblings.." There's a small pause, brows furrowing. ".. She was the one who tried to protect me when my mother wouldn't.."

"…Unless she's making some late attempt to adopt you… I don't know. She said her name was X'farraia, and that she was looking for her daughter, who couldn't have been anyone but you with her description. She was -adamant- you were her daughter, Sayuri. But if she tried to protect you…" Bexy trails, glancing to Sayuri in thought.

[Bexy] This makes an already difficult situation that much harder... ...So much we don't understand. Even i have questions of my own, now, but it's Sayuri's that are the important ones.

A thumb gently traces her hand, as Eir offers quiet comfort in the ways he can. He slowly traces her wedding ring as a quiet reminder, remaining close and ever present.

".. I wouldn't be surprised if my tribe simply thought I was dead, but.. X'farraia looking for me.. suggests she didn't give up on me." She fell quiet, her hand squeezing Eir's as her gaze fell to the floor anew - unvoiced thoughts swimming around in her head.

"I… Don't know. I wonder, if she has always been looking, or if something has caused her to search anew?" Bexy knits her brow, still curled into a small frown at her sister.

Eir lingers in the quiet, hand squeezing her own in kind as he offered what small comfort he could. "…Perhaps she is telling the truth." He begins, though it's almost hesitant. "…If she has been searching for you so long without answers… Most people after more than twenty cycles may lose hope, if not give up entirely. She is still looking, even now. She is… Tenacious. To the point of almost disbelief… Had i not known someone so dear to me, who held the exact same quality…" Eir makes some quiet attempt to reassure her with a smile, uncertain how she'd take the comment.

She offers a small shrug Bexy's way, glancing over to Eir as he speaks. A weak smile tugs at her lips, yet her ears remain low. "A quality shared, if that's the case.." She mumbled, sighing. ".. I remember her as quite the formidable woman, having no problems going toe to toe with X'aoki.." Her voice trails, gaze dropping again. ".. But if she is my mother.. why was I raised to believe X'thynira was..?"

"…Perhaps she has those answers. Perhaps not." Bexy pauses, considering. "…Midday, before the next full moon. This is when i told her to return, and i would share whatever information i had. That is… Whatever information you wanted me to tell her, if any. You have time yet, to think of what, if any, response you would like to give. And i would be happy to accompany you, if need be."

Eir furrows his brows a little, then. "…I will go too, if you would like me to."

[Eir] I won't let her go alone if she needs me. I am her Husband, i am supposed to be there for her, even in the most difficult moments. Not that i do not appreciate Bexy, but... It should be me, should it not?

A small glance from Bexy sees her shaking her head. "…Not to the Burning Wall you won't. In Thanalan?"

[Bexy] ...Has he gone mad? Husband he might be, but between the both of his even he knows well who the better combatant is. That's what we agreed on, wasn't it? I'll keep her safe. And he stays at home and ensures she's got nothing but love and comfort to return to. The last thing she needs is to worry about him, too.

Sayuri's gaze lift to Bexy, head sinking into a small nod. "I.. will need the time, I think.. and may end up taking you up on that offer, if I choose to go.." Her ears then twitch, the hand holding Eir's offering a small squeeze. ".. I don't want you in Thanalan, Eir.."

"It's why i picked the time i did. No one is fond of the Thanalan heat in the middle of the day, save those who live in it, or those unafflicted by it. As far away from dusk and dawn as it can be. Even if one of Grym's people see us arrive in Drybone, they would be foolish to follow." Her gaze flicks to Eir, sighing quietly. "You cannot move through the aether as we do. You'd have to go through Highbridge. If you want to look after her, stay safe."

Eir bristles a little at Bexy's words, but doesn't contend them. A little defeatedly, he nods to Sayuri, hand held firmly in hers, keeping whatever words he'd had to himself.

".. They are foolish.." Sayuri muttered, offering a small frown. ".. But it's a good plan." She gently brushed a finger along Eir's knuckles, sighing softly.

"If they're foolish enough to follow, any delusions of capturing you will be the last thing through their heads before one of my arrows." Slowly, Bexy rises to her feet, taking a deep breath. "…If you need me, i'm only a pearl call away, hm?" She reassures, smiling faintly.

Eir's gaze meets Bexy's. It's not an unfriendly look by any means, but there's a sliver of hurt. Still, he offers her a small nod.

[Eir] ...I know they are right, but that does not mean it does not sting. I... ...This is not the time to get wrapped up in my own inadequacies. She needs me.

Sayuri sinks her head into a faint nod. ".. Thank you."

"Worry not for it. Everything is in hand, and you need not rush a decision." Moving to the door, she looks over Eir, then. "…Look after her." She adds, offering a small wave, before slipping out of the door.

"I always do." Eir replies, though his gaze had drifted to the floor. The door closes, and a small sigh leaves him, before adding beneath his breath. "…At least, i try to…"

Sayuri's gaze trails to him, her body leaning closer as she sought to gently bump her head against his. "You succeed, Eir.."

Eir remains quiet for a while, gently nudging his head against hers. Ears a little wilted, he dismisses his thoughts, swallowing the lump that had climbed in his throat. "…Would you like something to eat…?" He asks, quietly.

She holds a brief silence of her own, ears drooping. ".. I.. don't feel hungry.." Her gaze lowers, head pushing against his a touch more firmly. "But.. I.. should probably try to eat something.."

"It need not be much. Fruit?" Eir asks, a little hopefully. "We could share a persimmon?"

Her head sinks into a small nod, thumb gently tracing his knuckles while his hand was still in hers.

He moves to leave, shifting his weight from the sofa. "I will be just a--…" Trailing, he looks to her with a frown, reluctant to let go. "…No." He adds softly, scooping her up into his arms, intending to take her with him.

[Eir] ...No. I would not let go of her. Not for a moment. Not now.

Sayuri's ears automatically flatten as he begins to withdraw, gaze lifting to him at his hesitation. She coils her arms around his neck as he scoops her up into his arms, burying her face against him in the process.

A few small paces see him to the door, pulling a heart-shaped key from a pocket to lock it, before making the steady descent downstairs. He pulls free a ripe persimmon from the bush as he crosses the room, immediately burying the both of them within the pillows and blankets. "I have you…" Eir whispers, cuddling her close.

She clings to him tightly, biting back a faint noise of upset that still managed to be heard, even if it was a mere squeak. She remains colder than usual, ice still coating her forearms. Her head pushes against him more firmly as they sink into the pillow pile.

"Shhh…" Eir hushes. Bundling her into his arms, he holds her close, pulling a blanket over the both of them. Tearing into the persimmon, chunks are pulled free, offering to her for her to take with her teeth. "I love you…" He murmurs, offering a soft smile. "…No matter what. I will be here for you, always."

"I love you too.. and I know.. I'm just.." Her voice trails, eyes threatening to well up again - something that's swiftly blinked away before she leans over to capture the persimmon chunk.

"…You are allowed to cry, my Moon…" Eir murmurs, a frown tugging his lips. "Better here with me than in some quiet moment alone. I… Know it is a lot to take in…" He gently pushes the persimmon to her lips, gently poking them in an affectionate way, before he repeats the same with his own.

".. I don't want to cry.." She whimpers, voice choking up a touch. Whether or not she wants to, she's clearly not far from it. She only steals a small bite from the persimmon, lips gently nudging back at his poking finger before it retreats to his own - a motion that curls a weak little smile onto her lips.

Eir finishes the piece of fruit, softening his smile as he saw her own. "Crying or no. I am here. Always…" He whispers, deciding to settle the fruit aside for the time being, but keeping it in reach. Instead, he pulls her close, head rested to her own. "…Do you want to talk about it?" He asks, helpfully. "…Or would you prefer to keep your mind from it, for the moment?"

Sayuri's arms drape around him more properly, dragging herself closer in the same move that he pulls her, head pushing against his gently. ".. I don't know what would help.." She half-whispers, frowning softly. "I just.. feel a little overwhelmed.. So many questions, and no answers.."

"…You can make a list of questions you would like to ask?" Eir murmurs against her, lips sidelong against her forehead as he delivers a little kiss. "I can write them down? Or… We can just stay like this. Calm and peace and… Anything you need. I am right here…"

Her ears elevate ever so slightly as he kisses her forehead, a soft sigh passing her lips. ".. You." Sayuri murmurs, her embrace tightening around him. ".. I need you.."

"…You have me." Eir whispers in reply, offering that sort of full-body embrace he'd occasionally imparted, giving a loving squeeze. Only when he relaxes after many long moments does he sigh, shifting her upwards to better see her face. "You will always have me, Sayuri. My love… My wife…" He smiles, gently caressing her cheek, thumb tracing over her lips as he gazed in adoration.

[Eir] Always. Not conditional on anything like her health, or her aether, or how she might be feeling or how difficult anything might become. I... Know i have a reputation for running, but... I am not going anywhere.

She returned the squeeze, face buried against him until he pulls her upwards. Her gaze settles upon him, head tilting into his caress and lips pulling into a thinner line after his thumb traces them, as if deliberately keeping her mouth shut to prevent herself from saying something, head gently nudging against his hand instead.

Eir's silver gaze meets with her own. He doesn't say anything, simply drinking in the moment, hand still offering a slow, steady caress. The thumb that traced her lip moves to her cheek, brushing the hair away to better see her. So close, Sayuri can no doubt feel Eir's heart race, as he gives a quiet, peaceful sigh. "…I love you."

Those three little words causes her lower lip to tremble, eyes shutting as tears once again began to well up in them while a shaky breath passes her lips. The wrap she has of him tightens significantly as she dips her head down, almost trying to make the hair fall back into place to hide her away despite that Eir brushed it away a mere few moments ago. ".. I love you too.." She managed to whisper, voice a touch choked.

"I always will. Always." Eir promises, though the waver of her voice has him worried. Arms curled around her anew, he pulls her close, lips pressed to her forehead. "…You are precious to me. And every sun that i wake beside you is a gift…" He takes a breath, but it's half choked in response, dismissed with a whisper of a laugh. "…I know i am not good with words, but… I love you, Sayuri. I am glad that we are married, and glad that i get to spend a lifetime with you. I love you…" He buries his lips against her skin, exhaling steadily between soft, stolen kisses. "…I love you. I love you…"

His words tears a sob from Sayuri's throat, one hand withdrawing to place itself over her mouth to muffle the sound, now unable to hold back the tears that squeeze their way past her eyelids. The arm still around him tightens, her ears rising a little higher for every sweet little thing he utters.

"Shh… You can cry as much as you need to. I am not going anywhere…" He rocks her gently in his arms, a hand raising to comb through her hair. "…Do you know how happy i was, the sun you agreed to marry me?" He asks, quietly. "…To know that i would be able to spend every single sun by your side?"

She rocks with him, hand leaving her mouth to let her arm wrap around him again as his fingers run through her hair. "..A-.. about.. as h-happy.. as me.. w-when you asked..?" She manages, sniffling weakly.

He huffs, almost shyly through a small smile, nodding as another kiss to her crown is settled. "Yes. Happy beyond words. Do you know the joy it brings me, to hear you sleepily ask me for pancakes in the morning?" He smiles against her, holding her close, still. "…Or to bundle into the blankets like we are now. Even little things like braiding your hair…"

Despite the tears, Sayuri manages a smile, a half-hearted huff of a laugh leaving her. "P-probably not.. accurately.. but I have an idea.." She smiles weakly, tightening her embrace.

"Then you know how much. How much I love you…" He sighs, gently stroking his fingers over her shoulder as he embraced her. "…I love you more than I can find words for." A gentle kiss is pressed to her cheek, smiling. "Perhaps why I enjoy kissing you so much…"

Her ears offered a faint twitch of a wiggle, head turning to let her press her lips against his own cheek in return, nuzzling against him. "I love you." She whispers, the choked tone she previously had now somewhat cleared up, the tears having come to a halt.

A soft, warm smile spreads over his lips at her words, chest fluttering at the kiss on his cheek. He pulls his head away for a moment to better see her, gazing in adoration before he moves in to meet his lips gently to her own, in a soft, sweet kiss. "I am proud to be your husband, Sayuri…"

She meets his lips gently, a soft, happier sigh leaving her. ".. I am proud to be your wife." She murmurs back in return, squeezing her arms around him.

He rests his forehead to hers, drinking in the moment as he held her beneath blankets. Her words bring a little colour to his cheeks, but he just smiles. "…I could stay here all sun." He laughs softly, "Cuddled up in blankets. Here, in our home…"

She offers a weary smile, eyes a little more narrow than usual from the crying. ".. I want to stay here.." She murmurs, nudging her head against his.

"We do not have to go anywhere. Not this sun…" He murmurs, tucking her close against him. "…We can stay here as long as you like. Rest, if you need to…"

She nuzzles into him as he tucks her close, burying her face against him to press herself closer, a low murmur of a sound escaping her in the process. ".. I'm a little tired.."

"Then rest, love…" Eir hushes. "I am not going anywhere. Perhaps when you wake, we can take a little walk, hm? Fetch some eel for dinner?" He gently combs his fingers through her hair, lightly scritching at her scalp.

Her head sank into a small nod against him, eyes shutting and a soft exhale escaping her. ".. It will serve to clear my head, too.." Her ears sink into a more relaxed state at the scritches.

"Mm-hm…" Eir murmurs, keeping his voice quiet. "I will be here, when you wake…"

Sayuri gently cuddles herself against him, shuffling to make herself more comfortable while pressing her head into him, a soft purr of comfort emitting as she began to drift.

My muse Bexy helping me test drive w/Jessie

[house-vexile]

⭐️ - From whoever, to whoever you might find fitting!

⭐️ While she is very familiar with Bexy and her more open and welcoming portrayal at the Lominsan Fight Night, Phenalyn is always very unsettled by Bexy. There is something about the woman that causes the hairs on the back of her neck to rise, as if the spirits were whispering warnings into her ears.
