Welcome to Gaia! ::

Junjie gave a soft chuckle at Kilian's words before he nodded, "It's more your place then mine." He explained, knowing that while he was one of Rio's friends that Kilian was far, far more, enough to her that they would make a child together he thought to himself. When Kilian declared that he wasn't leaving he couldn't help but to smile a little, glad to hear such words from the Oblivionite. Nothing against Kilian personally but it was good to see that, when faced with the prospect of having a hybrid child, the other man wasn't going to flee. Junjie felt that there likely weren't nearly enough people in the world that would do the same.

The healer fell silent, watching as Kilian moved to take Rio's hand, letting her in on what Junjie had found and what Kilian had caught on to. Glancing between the two he couldn't help but to wonder what it was that the little one might look like. It was really anyone's guess he supposed as he continued to watch, wondering if perhaps he should excuse himself? This did seem to be a personal matter after all, he'd done his job as a Healer, let them know what was going on, and he could very well duck out until they needed him again. Should he head to the barn? Hang out with his drakein until the moment where he was needed again? Thoughts of leaving were right out though when Rio was suddenly looking a little faint, having to grasp onto the table to keep herself from tipping over.

"Ah... Rio?" He murmured, a look of concern showing on his face as his friend took on a rather pale look. Was she going to pass out? Was the news to much for her? Should they have had her sit down before Kilian let her know what was going on? She started to sway a bit and the healer took a couple steps forward, as though to be there in as a backup in case he fell over away from Kilian instead of toward him... luckily though that didn't happen. Instead she was able to get herself into a chair, something that had him sighing in relief. He had worried there for a moment that she might very well lose it... and she was still looking quite pale. As she murmured about how Kilian had it to her he blinked a couple times, wondering if maybe the news was... bad news? It would appear that it wasn't really a planned thing but surely something like this couldn't be bad news? Then again they were talking about a hybrid woman having a very mix blooded child, one that would span all three races, it was something to worry about given how many people hated them just for existing.

He glanced over at Kilian for a moment then back to Rio, moving to kneel down beside her, "Are you going to be alright? Do you think that we should help you to lay down? Do you need anything?" He asked in a rush, doubting very highly that his healing powers would be of any use to her at the moment but if there was something else that he could do for her instead he'd gladly do so, "If there is anything you need I can get it for you, that way Kilian can stay here with you." He didn't want to appear as though he were overstepping his bounds, he just wanted to help, to see if there was anything he could do to help perk his friend up. He didn't like seeing her upset and if he could help make it better he would do what he could.

Erionda sniffled as Junjie began to speak. His questions and concern bombarded her mind, laying aside her thoughts of being alone. That was right, if Kilian did end up leaving her, she still had friends to turn too like Junjie. She wasn’t alone in this after all. She gave the male hybrid a grateful smile. Letting the walls she had thrown up in a instant slowly work their way back down. Swallowing a great lump that had formed in her throat with the news her mismatched eyes snapped towards Kilian as he moved. Her heart thundered in her chest painfully as she waited to see what he would do.

Twitching uncomfortably as Kilian moved in front of her, a deep blush appeared on her face. His proximity was always intoxicating to her. Send her body reeling like a puddle on the ground, she held no defenses against him. And yet she struggled to hold them up, Junjie was still in the room. And while she trusted the hybrid, she was stubborn enough to refuse to let anyone see her weaknesses. His voice penetrated her fears, shattered her defenses with his question. Happy? Of course she was happy! She had wanted nothing more than to have the chance to carry Kilians child. But was this too soon? What would the world think of a hybrid that had all three races inside them?

The heated kiss was more than welcome, albeit unexpected against her lips. It pushed her very fears aside as he touched her. Blushing harder Erionda tried not to react as intimately as she wanted too. Junjie was still right there, and she couldn’t help but think how uncomfortable it would be for the man.

Clearing her throat she smiled briefly at Kilian with a nod. “Yes love, I’m happy to have a baby but…” Breaking off she turned towards Junjie. “I don’t know the first thing about what I’m supposed to do.” She didn’t want to admit her vulnerability, her lack of knowledge, but she had no choice. If she wanted the best for their child she would need to learn how things were done. Placing her hand over Kilians she trembled as she waited the hybrid healers knowledge.

Kilian’s breath caught in his throat, glad to hear that Rio was happy about having a baby with him. He had been worried, for a second, that she had been unhappy this had happened. That she was regretting, already, being with him. He brought his other hand up, placing it on top of the one Erionda had placed over his other and and squeezed, letting her know, just by touch, that he was here for her.

There was so much they would need to do. So much preparing and supplies were limited. They were ould need more stuff and sooner rather than later. His gaze turned back to Junjie as he spoke, taking in every bit of information and storing it in the back of his mind for later use. Kilian blinked at the last questions asked. A town? On Aisko? Kilian wasn’t really sure, he hadn’t had much time to explore since moving here. He turned back to Erionda, a question on his face. “I’m...not sure. Rio, you’ve been here more than me. Are there?”

Junjie gave a nod of his head, "I am inclined to agree though it might seem a little biased of me to say so." He said, knowing full well that as a hybrid he had a lot more at stake when it came to those 'seed for brains' people. Now though Rio and Kilian would have even more at stake since they had a little one on the way. If nothing else at least they were living in a place that had a lot of natural defenses against any fools that might want to come here to hassle them. Not to mention that he knew how dangerous Rio could be, add in the whole mother protecting her young aspect and he felt almost bad for anyone stupid enough to come here with ill intentions.

When his friend set to glaring at him, obviously displeased with some of the information that he was offering up, he gave a little laugh and said, "It's for your own good and that of your baby, I know it doesn't sound like fun but you should still consider it." He told his friend, then glanced over at Kilian and said, "Good luck." The Oblivionite would need it, "If push comes to shove maybe Uassae can sit on her to make her rest." Though he somehow doubted that the Drakein would do so since he was so quick to flee to the barn earlier...

Junjie listened closely to what Rio was saying, about where she kept the herbs that she had, where she was growing other ones, and he nodded, "I will look it over to see what you have that will be useful for your current condition." He said, then at the mention that there wasn't a town, just a dock, he gave a nod, "Then I think a journey to Serenia will likely be in order." He mused to himself, before quickly adding, "Just for me, of course, you will likely want to rest up. I want to make sure that I get everything that is needed and the best one to talk with about it would be my mother. She will be able to help me to gather everything that you will need. Well, for a time at least. You will be carrying for a while after all." He couldn't very well bring everything she would need in one trip but at least he could bring the basics and it would help Rio and Kilian to figure out what else they might need.

"If I could ask a favor of the two of you? If I am to go to Serenia I will do so using magic. The problem being I can only transport myself. If Abellio and Arjan can stay here with your Drakein until I get back it would mean the world to me, I prefer knowing that they are safe when I am away from them." He said, walking over to where he'd set his things down. He would need to empty out what various treasures he'd gathered but didn't need when he got home, he'd then gather up all the various supplies he needed and return, all as quickly as possible.

Kilian was answering Junjie's question before what he was really asking had sunk into her head. Her mind was completely focused on the fact they both seemed to insist she stay safely inside. It was also completely possible for the Drakein to stay with her while Junjie had places to be. There was plenty of space everywhere. Proof of her hard work finally showing.

The feeling of bile rising back into her mouth made Erionda feel queasy. Her face grew pale as she looked up at Kilian with an almost pleading look for him to understand she was sorry. Bolting from the place she was currently sitting she moved away from the two men in the room. Sinking down as dry heaves pressed against her. At least she had managed to save either Junjie or Kilian having to witness anything.

Trembling for a moment Erionda pinched her eyes closed. Her hand settled on her stomach. A baby...

Kilians!

Taking a deep breath Erionda pushed back to her feet. Smoothing the wrinkles of her clothing and looking back towards the room her friend and mate were in. Her heart felt like an invisible force was strangling it, stealing the breath out of her lungs as her hand ran across her stomach. This was really happening. Her eyes caught in the reflective surface beside her. She was really pregnant with Kilian's baby. And she had insensitively given him flack for impregnating her.

A soft sound at the door forced Erionda to shy away from the wood separating her from the rest of the world. Her arms instinctively and protectively wrapped around herself. Her magic reacting to her emotional and irrational fear. Crystals formed across the mirror a signal of where her magic was releasing in waves.

Kilian gritted his teeth as he watched Erionda rise and quickly retreat to the bathroom. A small curse ran through him at his helplessness. His gaze jerked back to Junjie as he moved. He listened as the hybrid talked. "Goodbye Junjie. Travel safe." As the hybrid disappeared out the door Kilian muttered a thank you as he turned on his heals and followed after where Erionda had disappeared to.

Erionda, his mate, his world, was now carrying their child. His child. Kilian had never imagined something like that possible. Had never really thought of children of his own, at least not often enough for her symptoms to click in his mind. It all made sense now, though. Her mood swings, being constantly sick. Pregnant. Rio was pregnant. Would they have a boy or a girl? How would each race manifest itself in it? Kilian didn't care, as long as the baby and Rio were safe and healthy, he would love them both to the ends of Magesc.

He approached the bathroom door cautiously, aware that Rio's powers were acting up some at the moment. The wind outside had picked up and he could feel Amadia's worry through his bond. He gave a soft rap at the door before opening and stepping inside the room. His gaze flicked to the mirror, noting the frosted surface before quickly moving to Erionda. His brows knitted together as he noted her arms wrapped around herself.

"Rio," he whispered as he moved in close. Kilian was at a loss for words. He was new to this too. He knew as much about babies as Amadia did but he would do his damnedest to help Rio out as much as he could. He was glad for Jujine, though. Traveling was the last thing he wanted to do. Erionda needed him there, with her. As he closed in on her, his arms came around her shoulders and he pulled her close, fingers tangling in her hair as his wings and tail came around her in a protective gesture. He kissed the top of her head in between telling her he loved her.
