A Trip for Buuz

"Thank you as usual Chambui" said the Keeper, her satchel now filled with the Dazkar hunter's delicious Buuz. "Think nothing of it Miss Reina, Nhaama has blessed me with such a consistent and hungry customer!" Reina tried to wave her off before both of them broke into a bit of laughter. It was true though, the Xaela woman had received quite a bit of coin from her visitor, every few suns the miqo'te would appear in Reunion to refresh her stock and enjoy some small talk. The keeper was just about to say her goodbyes when something caught her eye, a somber expression making its way onto her face along with her ears having a noticeable droop to them. Chambui was confused and turned her head to see what could have caused such a reaction.

 The confusion continued as there wasn't anything noticeably disheartening in the direction they were looking at, there was only a small family buying something from the fishing merchant across the way. The father had their son on his shoulder while the daughter ran around, evading his attempts to catch her and the mother was bartering with the salesman. The Xaela woman turned back towards Reina and looked at the bundle on her back, come to think of it, she had never seen the father of the kitten and he scarcely came up in talks between them. Chambui smiled as an idea came to mind "you know Miss Reina, I hope you've been feeding some of these to your husband, he simply must know how good they are." An eyebrow raised on Reina's face "husb-oh right right, sh-he's off doing his own thing typically." "Then this would make a wonderful excuse to have him come by would it not?" Chimed back the merchant, her smile giving the Miqo'te an ominous feeling that this was not negotiable. A defeated but oddly optimistic look showed on her face "aye, I'll make him have a taste, your Buuz is wonderful after all." Chambui waved as the Keeper started walking towards the aetheryte, a little extra excitement in her step as the child on her back shuffled to take in the sights. "Ah new mothers, always the silliest."

When the daughter’s away, the mom will slay

“Just taking some time to myself to dress up and show off while Anakha is cared for. Everyone needs “me” time after all.”

A Mother’s Shield

A look into Reina’s resolve to keep her child safe after recent events.

Reina sat upwards in her bed, a miniature brush in hand with bristles specifically made to straighten up fur. Anakha "sat" in her lap, if the child's increasing attempts to crawl around the furniture could be called sitting, while her mother took the brush down her fur. The jet black hair on her head was easy enough, it had grown thicker the past few months but not unwieldy and gave the kitten a beautiful visage in her mother's eyes. Reina was careful when going around the ears as Anakha was being fussy enough "if you stay still, this will be done quicker, your hair needs to be groomed little one" she groaned but it was as if she was talking to herself, with the toddler's flailing. With a sigh, she finally finished up on the child's head and let her crawl forward a little on the sheets before grabbing her with one hand by the waist.

As Anakha squirmed around, her mother brought the brush down towards the stump of a tail she was growing "this can either take a minute or take a bell, your choice" and as if the child understood, she stopped moving so much. Reina brought the brush down against the tail, stroking along the fur gently for a few moments, thankfully because of its size, she finished quickly just as promised and let the kitten go. Anakha only made it a few ilms before finding resting on her belly and finding it hard to move "you'll grow into it Ana." The purple haired keeper set down the brush on a nearby desk before reaching to turn her child over and rub along the toddler's belly. She smiled as her ears were greeted with excited squeals and a smile that melted her world away. The kitten was one of the few things that brought constant joy to her life and as if on cue, words from a certain red head echoed in her mind. Reina would sit quietly to herself, the smile still on her face while her mind was elsewhere, debating if this was actually enough to give up her ambitions......

Cries for attention shook her out of her daze, the kitten below noticing her mother not paying attention to her had decided screaming would be the best solution to remedy this. "Hey hey stop that, I'm here, don't worry..." she moved her hand from the toddler's belly and up to caress her cheek, wiping away some of the tears streaming down until Anakha stopped. "I see you got that annoying trait from me, one last thing that I forgot to do, then I'll hold you ok?" Reina repositioned to be on her knees, both hands over the child but not touching her. The keeper's eyes were closed as she tuned into Anakha's aether, smiling at how familiar it felt to hers but noticing it to be a tad more potent "ah if you have a talent for manipulating ambient aether like me, you'll surpass your mother little one, I do hope you choose the path of a mage one day, now here we go..."

Reina concentrated, focusing her aether around her hands until an invisible shield began to form around the baby. After a few moments, the edges snapped together, perfecting the shield. "Ha, my intuition was correct, welcome to your first manaward Anakha." She brought her hands together in joy "well, technically it's my manaward using my aether as a catalyst while I trick it to think you are me, this should be as powerful as mine without needing to sap any energy out of you little one.....why am I telling this to you when you're only a few moons old? Maybe I just like to hear myself speak." The keeper shook her head a few times and smiled before picking the child up just as promised, the toddler looked at her with a confused look, as if she could tell that something was different but didn't know what. Reina shifted around to cradle Anakha in her arms "Momma will protect you with everything she has, this is just the first step." Her mind then drifted off to what errands they needed to run that day, for now, things looked a bit brighter.

This started out as me wanting to write a little bit about what I think miqo’te grooming is like but then I got carried away. I hope anyone who reads this enjoys my writing and please reblog it if you do, it helps to get it seen! The art was done by the awesome @thavnairian check them out if you can.

May your loving light guide all your children as we serve you in this life or the next. We tread forward in your name, Menphina The Lover.

[purple-salt-mage]

The distinct sound of a blade piercing skin tore into the night. "Thrice I've killed a scout near mother's den, three more souls led awry by that damned self proclaimed king." The body hit the ground without so much as a whimper from the shocked victim, their weapon dropping next to their limp frame.   "Former sister or not, intrusion by your kind is to be met with death, may Menphina guide you in the next life." The keeper kept her lance high in case the bandit showed any sign of life left but a few moments passed and no movements were made. With that, the woman turned and walked off back towards home, eyes open for anymore along the way.
