He cackled maliciously at the thought of eating stringy horse meat. It didn't sound appetizing one bit. But people did what they had to do. And then she found herself getting out of the bed. Still smiling Hartia slid to the end of the bed and sat there for a prolonged moment, her next choice of words pinging him with some amount of guilt. Guilt because of the thought of formally asking Luna of making a Polyamorous relatioship. Guilt because he practically had to after Ania's family decided she was exiled from their kingdom. Being removed from her blood relatives meant that their child, Luna, and Hartia himself was roughly the only family she had. Though if Luna shot down the idea, Hartia would get over it soon enough. As previously stated, he would do whatever it took to prove his loyalty and undying love for her. He would die for her if or when necessary.
"Jessica, dearest. I am sure Ania would enjoy dining with us...However, her family has exiled her from her kingdom. She has been stripped of honor and been shoved aside as one of them. Her sisters all still love her and want her around, but her ignorant brother is the reigning tyrant, and what he says goes."
He paused briefly to clear his throat before continuing.
"I tried to defend her honor, and clear her name, but it was a fruitless endeavor. Now, we, you and I, and the child she is about to birth....It is the only family she has left. As such I was thinking. Do not take this in ill manner, but what would you think of us being the roots of a healthy Polyamorous relationship? You and I would be the primaries, and any changes in the relationship must pass through us. Even Ania could find herself a nice man or woman to court, though we would have to approve of such and she would remain in our care as well."
He paused to let it sink in for a moment before making himself clearer.
"The only downside is the theory of jealousy. And so, anyone you bring in would be obligated to have you to their self at least once a week or so. Same as I with Ania, or even you with Ania is that tickled your fancy. I can't promise I will fully approve of sharing you in a relationship format, though perhaps I would be capable of....adjusting."
Sure they were technically swingers at this moment in time, but he didn't have to see or hear about his dearest Luna being with anyone else. Even if he knew the deal, out of sight out of mind was the best way of coping recently. Surely she was about the same as him. Knowing of what strange and rare creature he was and all.
