But I'm trying to will myself out of being sick. lol! We'll see how it goes.</td></tr></table> Tryph smiles, <span style='color:#A41547'>"Oh, several paw-fulls with that one."</span> She looks off to the bathroom door where her child had disappeared. She pauses, then raises her voice a bit; <span style='color:#A41547'>"I don't hear any water...!"</span> A giggle is heard from behind the door, then the sound of the faucet handle turning, and finally the white noise of running water as the cub begins to soap and clean his paws. Pen chuckles, looking between his wife and their guest, <span style='color:#A6C0CE'>"He's a good boy, though. A bright child with a love for life. He's too young to enforce harsh rules of manners or politeness just yet, but he is quite respectful and very sweet to those he meets."</span> Tryph grins at Penumbra. She pauses a moment then looks at her husband, <span style='color:#A41547'>"When were my cousins supposed to get here, again, dear?"</span> The blue-hued male gives the question a thoughtful moment before replying, <span style='color:#A6C0CE'>"You know they probably would have been here already were it not for the harsh rain. They've probably stopped for shelter, and will resume their trip whenever the downpour ends."</span> Outside the storm showed no signs of stopping. Instead, it was reaching its peak. But they were quite safe inside their mountain dwelling, as were all the other families who called the watani caves 'home'.
Kyofu came to a point her meal then places down her fork and knife upon the plate. Leans back in her chair and reaches her ahnds down onto her stomach, sighing happily. Looks over into the direction of Pen then to that of his wife before moving her chair out away from the table. Stands up slowly and winces a bit as she does, turning away from the table. "Thank you for being so generous...offering me a meal and everything." She spoke softly looking off into the direction of the front door then drops her ears, showing distaste. Shakes her head then begins on her way towards the door before calling back a soft reply of thanks once more, dreading that she would have to venture out in the blasted rainstorm. Slips her tongue along her lips lightly then reaches her hand about the knob turning it so that the door would open to the falling droplets. Looks back over her shoulder into the direction of the bathroom, noticing the little one coming out. "Goodbye...little one...I hope that good dreams finds you." Hoping to herself that the pup would convinces the other two into letting her stay.
Penumbra rises from his chair politely as Kyofu rises. After her words of thanks were spoken he smiles demurely, <span style='color:#A6C0CE'>"It was a pleasure having you here, miss. Any time you're in the neighborhood, feel free to drop by, we'd love the company."</span> Tryphaena, still seated grin wryly, <span style='color:#A41547'>"Especially such company that isn't put off by a cheeky cub, who learnt his bad behavior from a certain winged and blue pendragon..."</span> She playfully eyes her husband. Pen pretends he can't hear his wife, while Bael giggles, and in a hoarse voice which the babe thought was a whisper, giggle, "Da! I think mumma means you! But I didn't learn it from you! I taught it all by myself!" The male chuckles and looks back at his wife, <span style='color:#A6C0CE'>"You see, I am absolved of all crimes, Bael says I had no part in shaping his behavior."</span> Tryphaena rolls her eyes. During the femme's goodbyes and forlorn looks toward the doorway and sleeting rain, Bael sticks out his lower lip, clinging tightly to Shade, his raggedy stuffed toy. Well, she had found Shade! That certainly meant she had to stay. "B-..But.." He looks back up at his father, "Shade says she can't go, that it's too horribly rainy outside. He says she has to wait. Just a lil' bit." Pen grins, <span style='color:#A6C0CE'>"Oh Shade says all that does he?"</span> Bael nods, clinging tigher to his toy. The blue male looks to Kyofu, <span style='color:#A6C0CE'>"Well miss, I do believe Shade here is beckoning you to stay, just a few minutes more."</span> Tryphaena smiles, as she begins to collect the platters empties of food during their meal and the plates they themselves had used, <span style='color:#A41547'>"I have to agree with Shade, if you go out now, you might get soaked to the bone!"</span> Bael grins proudly, hoping that their visitor would stay.
Kyofu took a step furhter out into the rain before coming to a stop. Smirks as she does then lifts her eyes back up looking over her shoulder into the direction of the father and son at the door looking at her. She smiled and reached her hand up slipping it over her flamed head sweeping back water with it. She turns around and walks back into the house, closing the door behind her as she came in. Reaches out her black paw and placed it against that of Pen's shoulder squeezing lightly with a nod gazing seductively at him. "You all are to kind." She spoke as she drew that of her hand back and walked into the kitchen once more looking to Try' before walking into it. Moves over to the kitchen up along side her and reaches a hand out to one of the plates holding it in her left hand before that of her lower right reached out touching to the back of Try's hand. "Thank you..." she spoke softly as she caressed Try's hand with a delicate thumb. Trns her eyes away slowly and smirks a bit pumping out some water into the sink with the dirty dishes. Turns her eyes over her shoulder into the direction of the hall, listening for Pen and Bael. "I and Tryphaena will clean up the dishes. How bout you two go and do something to past time." She spoke as she dipped her other three hands into the water slowly. That of her lower right hand continued to caress Try's hand, seductively.
Bael nods happily at Kyofu, and with Shade wrapped tightly his in chubby baby arms, the child bounds off to his room, "C'mon daddy! Shade says we gotta get my room all cleaned up for missus Kyofu!" Penumbra chuckles, <span style='color:#A6C0CE'>"Well it looks like you've acquired yourself an admirer, ma'am."</span> Then he follows after his son's hasty escape to his room. Tryphae meanwhile, smiles happily, glad to have someone help her clean up this hearty mess made by happy 'dragons. Carrying an arm full of dishes and utencils from the table to the sink, she strikes up conversation with their visitor. Setting the utencils into the soapy water first, the pink-hued pendragon smiles, <span style='color:#A41547'>"So Kyofu, what business do you have in Watani? Or are you just passing through to more exciting places than this little community?"</span> The ivory horns curled about the femme's head catch some strands of hair, which she brushes away with a paw before standing beside Kyofu to assist in the scrubbing of dirty dishes.
Kyofu smirked lightly at the sound of Bael's voice and everything before shaking her head and chuckling. Licks her lips lightly and runs that of her forearm over her forehead thinking a bit to herself at the sound of Penumbra's speaking of an admirer. She merely smirked at the thought and shook her head looking back down at that of the dishes running a sponge over one of the plates getting the food boggies off of it. She turns that of her blue glowing eyes into the direction of Tryphae thinking for a moment before casting out a grin to her. "Just running...dear Tryphae...just running." She spoke reaching her hand un-used hand up slipping it along the side of her neck before going back to cleaning the dishes. Places what has washed into the opposite side of the sink slowly then reaches back into drawing another pant or fork, or anything then placing it onto the opposite side of the sink. Licks her lips lightly and reaches her hand over placing it on the back of Trphae's hand holding it once more before looking over at her, posing the question. "Have you ever been attracted to that of another female before, Tryphae?"
<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td>whee! I spent all day on the 27th with my best friend to celebrate his 22nd birthday (which is really the 28th but neither of us were free) which was a blast, and then on the 28th I was tortured with accounting homework and quiz. ;_; So 'tis time to have some fun again! mwa</td></tr></table> Tryphaena nods to the answer, that the other femme was just running across the country. Perhaps she was just a free spirit, running and exploring for the fun of it. Oh how Tryph wished she could do that again. She used to have wonderful adventures, running and exploring. Her tracking trade made it all the more fun - she could follow any set of prints that led to any number of exciting or perhaps not so exciting ventures. She casts a mixed look towards the door, she loved her husband and child more than words could express, but she would always feel a longing to be untied, to be free again, to run with wild abandon wherever she pleased. But there was plenty of time for that, she supposed. Bael would not be a child for very long, she should cherish every moment with him. And then she could take Pen with her on her wild adventures, and teach him how to track. Then they could have adventures together; her and her soul mate. A small, humble smile blooms over her face, and she returns to washing the dishes, one paw setting a plate in the water, the other paw resting on the sink edge. She feels her pink colored paw covered again by the other femme as another question is posed. Tryphaena looks to Kyofu, silent for a moment. She shakes her head thoughtfully, <span style='color:#A41547'>"No, never before... but now... I find myself thinking of many things, wishing for certain futures."</span> Kyofu's freedom was very attractive, and the temptation to flee with her as soon as the storm broke would be unbearable. But she wouldn't leave her cub. Nor her husband. ... Not for very long, anyway.
Kyofu came to as top with the dishes and turned her eyes into the direction of Tryphaena. Smirks lightly and reaches that of one of her other hands up and touches it to the side of her face as that of the other closed about Tryphaena's hand a bit tighter but not enough to harm her. "Comeon, lets go outside for a walk. I mean Bael and your husband will be busy for awhile." She spoke leading that of Tryphaena over towards the front door coming to a stop once more. Turns her eyes back and smirks lightly looking to that of her eyes. "We'll be back before they even noticed that we was gone." Kyofu reached over to the front door and opened it slowly so that the other two couldn't hear then goes out of the house walking backwards. Reaches up that of another hand and does a finger curl, getting Tryphaena to follow along. Nods to her as she continued to hold that of her hand going out into the rain. "Comeon...have a little fun. I mean when was it the last time you played in the rain?" She spoke to Tryphaena casting a wink before giggling a tugging on her hand lightly.
Tryphaena follows Kyofu to the door, listening to her speak; her words were so tempting. How many adventures had she found as youngster with the words "let's go for a walk"? Ach, too many. And all of them fun, or dangerous, but always exciting. She always had stories to tell. The pitter patter of rain against the side of the watani mountain cave walls, the dirt road (which was now thick mud in some places) and grass alongside, a song of the storm. The lightning and thunder were still present, but farther off now. She had always wished for magical prowess like her classmates. But Tryph was gifted with a linguistic brain, not magician's skill. Controlling the elements, especially water, ait, lightning... it all seemed to wonderful. Her eyes and face were lit up with child-like glee at the prospect of a new adventure. Just for a little while. Tryphaena nods to Kyofu, then grins broadly. The tug at her hand was the final breaking point of her desire to stay home. Now it was she who leapt out whole-heartedly into the rain, turning around to grasp Kyofu's hand in both of hers, pulling their visitor along into the dounpour like an excited cub.
Kyofu chuckled aloud and followed her out into the rain as she was being pulled. She reached that of her lower set of hands to that of Tryphaena's hands and grasped them gently. She danced around in circles with her and continued to laugh as it all to place. She came to a stop and reached her hand up slipping it along the side of his face gently before leading Tryphaena over into the direction of an alleyway. "Comeon! Lets go and stand out of the rain for a bit." She spoke with a giggle as she tugged Tryphaena over towards that of the alleyway. Leans back against the wall and leans her head back into the falling droplets of life for a short while before lowering her eyes back down onto that of Tryphaena. Smiles softly at her and reaches a hand out placing it on her shoulder slowly, thinking to herself for a moment before giggling once more. Looks over into the direction of the street and watches for a short while. "So back to that question from before; have you ever felt sexual towards that of another woman?" Kyofu asked with golden glowing eyes as she reached that of her hand up placing it against that of Tryphaena's cheek turning her face towards Kyofu. Looks into her eyes and leans in without asking or anything and places that of a soft and passionate kiss upon her lips slowly. Reaches her other hand up and places it against the back of Tryphaena's right arm. Draws back slowly from the kiss and slips her tongue along her lips before closing her eyes lightly, still holding, Tryphaena's hands.
The pink hued pendragon stood motionless for a moment. The events all seemed to unfold so quickly, she had no time to react, other than to accept her fate. The rain was pattering against her head, as the wind blew and the thunder sounded. Ah, it was fun to go on adventures! How much she had missed the thrill of the chase in her tracking days, and the lightness that gave way to unknown occurances when you weren't tied down to anything - be it animal, mineral, or moral. Then, the kiss. A sweet and gentle kiss yet still holding a passionate fire. Several had kissed her, few had made her feel this way. Could she possibly be attracted to this stranger? Or could it just be the fact that her emotions were being set free in this short flight from home? Tryphaena wasn't sure. As Kyofu leans back, and Tryphaena opens her own eyes, a smile spread across her maw. First that of shy naivety, and then one of an insatiable desire for excitement, with perhaps a shade of lust thrown in. <span style='color:#A41547'>"I suppose you would be the first I have ever kissed... so I can't completely be sure..."</span> She pauses, glancing at her feet, before her fingertips dance in the palms of the other, <span style='color:#A41547'>"Perhaps we should try that again? Just so I can be sure, of course."</span> Her smile returns, and the pink hued femme closes her eyes, her mane now damp with rain clinging to her curled ivory ram's horns. Now that she was out and about, her life seemed to far behind. A silly sentiment to someone with better morals, but she was a free spirit who had fallen in love with another free spirit. Their wild ways were restrained as of late with Bael and advancing anti-Grader plots. So her true life had been put on hold. But now to experience something wild and free again, she felt like life was back on track. Tryphaena naturally expected fun to come of this adventure: all her adventures, no matter how dangerous, she had always survived, and had always had fun. But little did this femme know that as opposed to her other adventures, where none were involved but she, she was in the dark of the rowdy storm at the mercy of an acurate femme fatale...
The blue flamedfemale was surprised at the reaction of how Tryphaena reacted to being kissed by that of another female. A sly grin crept along Kyofu's lips and she surely and gently drew that of the pink hued pendragon but up against her. But with that of her arms drifting about her waist fully this time without resistances. She slipped that of her black claw paw up and slipped it behind Tryphaena's head grazing the fingertips along her wet fur, feeling sharp and pleasurable shudders travel through that of the 'dragon's body. "Another kiss...another so sweet." Kyofu spoke softly as she tilted her head in close to Tryphaena. She suddenly gazed her lips along Tryph's passively to be a tease before drifting back and becoming locked with her once more. Sharp surges of passion, the strong sting of a desire, laced within the kiss as Kyofu's tongue pressed against her lips and parted them slowly for just the tip to creep in. She leaned further into the kiss and slipped her lower left hand down along Tryph's side caressing along tilt she came to her thigh. She traced her fingertips along the musclar shaping of the flesh before lifting it up. A shudder broke through Kyofu's body as she arched Tryph's body back, dipping her down against the ground but never touch. She slowly broke away from the deep minute kiss releasing short and drawn out breathes. She gently grazed her muzzle along the side of Tryphaena parting her golden eyes once more. "Such...such a strong...strong taste. So beautiful." She gasped as she lifted Tryphaena back up onto her feet, but never allowing her hands to leave her body.
Yes, she was quite sure. She fell almost limp in the capable arms of Kyofu as the kiss and caress persisted, enjoying every moment. The feeling quite possibly stood to rival Pen's embraces - and he by far was the best she had ever known, likely the reason she had succumbed to his advances and married him. Marriage? The thought struck her like a slap across the face and she suddenly felt shameful. Doing this was cheating, then, wasn't it? Her fingertips brush the elbows of Kyofu's lower set of arms, before slipping in to wrap around the other femme's waist. The pink hued pendragon turns her face away from Kyofu as she rests her drenched head on the other's shoulder. She didn't want the woman she had just kissed with such passionate abandon to see her newfound shame. Tryphaena knew she would have to go back inside. She would decide whether to tell her husband of her (rather serious) foible at a later time. But her flight back indoors was halted by another desire tempting her to stay in this dark alley way with such a seductive stranger.
Kyofu felt that of her body being hugged up against the pink hued pendragon. A sudden feel of remorse came over herself as she felt the hug and everything that she was to do was going to be unbarable in the end. She shook her head lightly and slipped her fingers along the back of Tryphaena's neck gently frowning a bit on her decisions of what to do to grant the Graders' wishes. Sighes softly and leans her head down pressing her lips against that of her pink hued...love? Why would this come into her mind at a moment like this? Good gods! It will be impossible to try and full fill the Graders' wishes at this point. "I...I can't get the thought of letting you go...out of my mind." She spoke softly to Tryphaena. Shakes her head lightly at the sound of her own words and caressed that of her left hand along the back of Tryphaena's neck gently before slipping her eyes shut lightly. Shakes her head a bit once more then drops down onto her knees infront of Tryph reaching her hands up and placing them on the sides of her face looking to her eyes. "I think I'm in love with you." She spoke as her hands traced up the sides of the pink hued pendragon's face gently. Her fingers coming to the tips of her ears then drift down along the edges back to her soft furred face.
Tryphaena watches with an almost detatched, and yet somehow deeply affected air. Her resolve breaks as Kyofu's fingers flit across her face. The pink hued 'dragon's eyes flutter and rest shut, part of her yearning for a longer embrace while the other was strongly chastizing her for such foolish action. As Kyofu speaks from her position on her knees, tears spring to Tryphaena's eyes. How could she leave her husband? Hor could she leave her son? And yet how could she ignore this powerful feeling? <span style='color:#A41547'>"If only things were different... if... if only I weren't attached..."</span> Her eyes close again, she hasn't the strength to look the other female in the eyes: her shame and helplessness were too great.
Kyofu looked back up to her and lifted herself back up from the ground slowly. Reaches her arms about Tryphaena and draws her close once more leaning her head against the side of hers as that of her upper left hand grazed the side of her face and over her lips gently. "Maybe...there is a way that you and your husband can be happy over this..." she spoke softly as her fingers continued to caress the side of Tryphaena's face gently. Draws her hand back and draws back from her head before reaching her hand down beneath her chin gently. Kyofu tilts her head back gently to where her eyes was locked with the pink hued 'dragon's eyes. "I know...of a way to make it work." She spoke softly before leaning and placing another strong and passionate kiss upon Tryphaena's lips gently running her fingers around to the back of her neck holding her softly. She draws back from Tryphaena and grazes her tongue along her lips gently. "Just wait here...I will be right back." She spoke drawing away from Tryphaena and turned her eyes back into the direction of the home. Reaches her hands up and slips them along her smooth head before walking. She came upon the house and walked up to the front door steps going into them slowly. She winces a bit and causes that of her form to fade and become that of Tryphaena herself. That of her golden eyes had trouble changing to the hue as that of Tryph, but it was successful. "Honey! My dear! Are you here?" She spoke copying the voice of Tryph so easily as she moved in and closed the door behind herself. Walks down the hall a bit and slips her fingers along that of the same fur as Tryph, chuckling a bit.
Penumbra flicks an ear in the direction of what he thought was his wife's voice. Grinning at his chubby little son, the male affectionately ruffles Bael's fur between his ears, <span style='color:#A6C0CE'>"I'll be right back, I'm gonna go see what your mom wants."</span> Bael nods, still clinging tightly to his toy, whilst drawing scribbles on a sheet of paper: he was practicing his letters, among many ink doodles nearby the childish script. Pen smiles and stands up, opening the door to his child's room and after he steps outside, he gently shuts the door behind him. <span style='color:#A6C0CE'>"Yes?"</span> Pen calls as he jovially saunters toward the entrance of their humble home, <span style='color:#A6C0CE'>"What is it you desire, m'darling?"</span> ~ - ~ ^ ~ - ~ Outside, still in the rain, Tryph was too shocked to move. What had she just done? Mere minutes ago she was a happily married pendragon with a loving husband and a child she called her own. Now she was standing in the rain, formerly in the arms of one who could be called her lover. She was cheating on her husband. How low was that? With a stranger she had met no more than an hour before. Was her lust still that strong after all her years of age? Was she still an irresponsible cub? Yes, she was. Tears begin rolling down her cheeks, slowly at first, mixing with the rain to make them heavy enough to fall. Then they become strong enough to flow all on their own. Suddenly her deeply pink eyes rimmed now with the sore red skin from her shameful crying. Emotions flung each way, not knowing what to do. Her conversation with Kyofu runs through her head. Was this stranger playing with her? Was she a fool? Or had she truly fallen? Had Tryphaena truly fallen? Then Tryphaena remembers the last bit of what Kyofu had said. Tryphaena's eyes open wide and her hand flies to her mouth as she realizes just what Kyofu's fixing it may possibly entail. She turns around and scrambles as fast as she could inside the house, not knowing her feet could carry her that fast, and just hoping she wasn't too late.
The fake Tryphaena looked to that of Penumbra as he came down the towards her. She smirked lightly and came to a stop standing there running that of her hand up and down her arm slowly. "I was wanting to let you know something love. But it is a little bit to embassessing to say." She spoke walking up on that of Penumbra reaching her hands out and placing them against his chest and leaning her head in against his fur. Releases a gentle sigh trying to play as his beloved Tryph. Slips her tongue along her lips lightly before looking back up at his face looknig down on her. "I...um...have came to find love from someone else...and I was hoping if it would be alright for me to...just to love someone else. I mean You will still be my number one lover...but this person is just so passionate and good to me." She spoke as she reached a hand up around the back of Penumbra's neck causing metallic claws to extend forth from her fingertips as she rested it there grazing her muzzle along side his. She places a elegant kiss on his lips before drawing back and looking to his facial reaction to her request. She was hoping for the worst of the responses so that she would have a reason to go and run dear Tryph's husband through. She drew that of her hands back and dropped them to her sides as that of a single hand drifted around to her back and coiled under into a spiked fist. Just standing there, waiting for his reaction, response to it all.
Penumbra stood there stock still for a moment. Listening to the voice of his supposed wife. Loving someone else? That couldn't be... they were quite happy together, happier than most. Something that not many in life find, to which he often thanked the gods for. So what god had he offended to procure this offense? Pens eyes narrow and he looks away: he wasn't exactly angry at his wife, but he was. He wasn't really angry at himself, but he was. He wasn't angry at the gods, but then he was. Angry at the world, and not, all in the same. His life torn asunder for the moment, he looks back into the eyes of his 'wife'. <span style='color:#A6C0CE'>"Wh... Why? Why would you...? Would they...?"</span> tears brim in his glistening eyes for the slightest of seconds before he shakes his head in newfound anger. <span style='color:#A6C0CE'>"No."</span> He stares at her with a hatred he didn't know he posessed. And yet he loved her so very deeply. Perhaps that's why his hatred equalled his love. What was his 'no' to? Her lover? Her attitude? His anger? His acceptance? Simply the situation? Even he didn't really know.
Her eyes came to rest on him as he spoke to her. She glared a bit and took a step back away from her reaching a hand up slipping it along her pink hued fur. "Then...you don't think that I'm worth anything anymore?" He questioned her as she took that of her spike hand around holding it to her chest before smirking once more and spinning back, thrusting her claws into her chest causing them to go into his heart through his left lung. She looked upon his face before leaning with her appearences fading back to that of her Anubian form. Smirks lightly and places another kiss on his lips before speaking softly. "She is mine now...Penumbra. And you...are just second rate...now." She spoke retracking her fist and taking a step back away from him. <span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td>Sorry for the shortness but there really wasn't any other way for me to reply to it.
