Welcome to Gaia! ::

Drawing small circles in the sand, the hybrid monk glanced from one child to the next. A feeling of overwhelming pride in the offspring she shared so lovingly with her mate Lynxdaroch. It was surprising to see that her children had been born with the colors she had exhibited before the change. While she had driven herself into consuming as much knowledge and material as possible about the strange phenomenon, she wasn't able to find any explanation for the cause. So she had simply learned to accept the event for what it was. It didn't chance how she felt towards her family. She loved them all for who they were. Feeling the love and support in exchange.

Giggling as she watched Zybi's head surface and disappear again. She knew the girl needed to blow off some steam. Teiluj knew she was pushing her hard to learn as much as she could. She was making the same attempts with her son, though the results were different. Showing just how much the twins varied in their personalities. Wiping some of the building humidity from her forehead, she wasn't too concerned with Zybi playing around in the water. She knew if trouble occurred, Lynx would be right there to keep them safe.

"I think, they, are the best gift you could have ever given me." Teiluj hummed. Turning her gaze towards Lynx. Her once golden, now lime eyes took in the sight of the man. "Have I ever told you, how much I love all of you?"

Lynx had swam these waters with his own twin as a kid and so he knew that they were safe. The softer waves in this area were more forgiving than the harsher waves farther down the shore. Just as Teiluj did he kept his eyes on his children, watching what they did and timing how long they stayed under the water. Should they be under too long then he was prepared to go in after them.

When he heard his lover speak the hybrid male turned his head toward her, reluctant to take his eyes off the kids. He took a breath and moved his head to shake at her. "No. They are gifts you gave to me." Lynx winked at her. "Everyday but I enjoy hearing it." He reached out with one hand and wrapped a loose strand of her hair around his finger. "I know I don't say it enough. I am truly thankful to have you in my life. I love you and I intend to spend the rest of my life with you and our children."

There was love and tenderness in the hybrids eyes. Enjoying the moment she was able to share with the man she loved so deeply. Closing her eyes against the feel of her hair being toyed with. Moving just enough so she could lean her head against his shoulder. Her eyes remained closed. She was too busy soaking in the peace the day was giving her. Away from the chaos of her companions family.

"I know I promised you more, do you think these two troublemakers are old enough for us to maybe... aim for some more?" She opened her eyes to the sound of Zybi speaking to her brother and gave a soft laugh. "I'll bet we may have to put holes in those pearls. She's probably going to try to use them as beads in Vae's hair."

He let go of her hair as she leaned her head against him, that way it didn't pull. As she mentioned her promise to give him more kids he chuckled a bit and focused on the two in the water. Were the twins old enough? He worried about that. There was some years between him and his siblings. Especially the last two. "Almost.." He finally said. "Let them enjoy being your only babies for a bit longer then I have no problems adding more."

Seeing the two swimming to another area he watched with hawk-like eyes to make sure they didn't go too far. "You might be right and I don't think he'll stop her." Their boy had taken a liking to having his hair done even if his sister did wacky up-dos. "I'll be sure to get the tools out when we get home."

Her head remained against Lynx's shoulder. Taking the rare moment to absorb as much of the much needed contact as she could. Looking up at his face briefly at the mention of the twins being her only babies for a while longer. She had to wonder if he, himself was speaking from experience. He was the oldest of several siblings after all. And unlike him, she was an only child. "Alright, we can wait a little longer. There would have to be a reason you're wanting it this way. "

She closed her eyes and returned to her resting position. These rare treasured moments were full of peace after everything they had endured together since they had first met. Her hand reaching up to trace along the veins of his arm. "Do you think we should be heading back to Oba soon? I know we've made the trip a few times now with the children. Much easier too without my mother trying to join in."

He leaned his head against hers and smiled even though she couldn't see it. "Zasha and Zohra were born not too long after Iexa and me. It was pure chaos." He knew his mother had lost a few years off her life due to them scaring her. "Give the twins time to mature a little before we give them little siblings to help scare us." He laughed at the thought. Of course he'd done his fair share of things so he could anticipate what his own kids would do.

He moved so that he could look at Tei's face. "Unless you would like to be brave like my mother and have more right now." Lynx wasn't against the idea. He just knew how his mate was when the kids got too far away. He could only imagine if it was more than just the twins. "I have no issues with having more. I'll gladly take a whole litter if you think you can carry it." The man smirked at Teiluj.

Teiluj's eyes snapped up to watch Lynx's movements, searching his face as he spoke. "You and your siblings must have given your mother a handful. It's a good thing we can come and visit her so often so she can help out." Teiluj smiled. She enjoyed Lynx's mother's company. She felt like she belonged, like she mattered, loved and stable.

"I trust your decisions Lynx. You know that, besides you have the experience of siblings. Which I don't." Blushing furiously at his wink, Teiluj averted her gaze out towards the children. Watching Tao bark and hop in and out of the water as it crept up the sand. He wasn't as interested in joining in the water, just playing with it. Snapping to see how fast he could catch the odd bubble before it disappeared or popped.

"Though now that you mention it. I do have a suspicion that little girl of ours is going to be a problem. She's already sneaking off often enough as it is. It's not good when we are traveling, she could easily get hurt." Teiluj fussed. Wiggling her feet in the sand. Flexing her toes thoughtfully.
