Welcome to Gaia! ::

A short time later Mano walked into the house with one big fish in hand, having already been cleaned and beheaded on the dock, with all the extra bits tossed into the water to lure more creatures into the trap he had set up. In his other hand he had a basket with some other small creatures in it such as a few clams, an urchin, and a good sized crab. They could all be prepared and eaten alongside the fish pretty easily. The trap was working pretty well but he saw a few spots where it could be improved, something that he'd work on when the sun was up again.

"There are some coconuts that I gathered over in that basket there. I can crack one of them open if you're thirsty, Honey." He offered upon seeing that the blond was up and moving around. He'd thought that he could get the food done and bring it to him in bed... but if he was wanting to help out then he was only too happy to take him up on the offer. So long as Kyrian didn't pus himself too hard at least.

Kneeling down next to the fire pit he set to feeding some gathered wood to the fire before laying the fish down on the rock in two pieces, skin down, letting the heat that would gather in the rock cook it. The other clams and urchin soon followed. The crab he kept in the basket, needing to wait for the water in the cook pot to start to boil so he could throw the crab in. Until then he'd keep it contained so it didn't try to run away from them.

Mano glanced around for a moment, then turned his attention back to Kyrian, "Of course, Honey! This is just the very basics and things that I thought we needed to get first, you know?" He'd ignore the fact that the first thing he'd made sure was set up and ready was their room. Instead he would see about obtaining the things that Kyrian wanted going forward since his requests all seemed simple enough.

At least the first ones. Then there was the next request about some more walls for children. He gave a humming sound, looking around the house, then said, "We will probably want to make it a bit more secure to." At the moment everything was nice and open, including the path to the docks. Not something one wanted when raising little ones since it meant they could wander off and get in trouble. After a thoughtful moment he said, "We will definitely need to teach them to swim the moment they are old enough. I want them to swim as good as I do if not better." If they were going to be staying in Matori then it was best that everyone knew how to swim.

Looking at Kyrian he said, "Best that we teach you to swim like a fish as well, Honey."

Mano gave a grin, reaching out to catch hold of Kyrian, pulling him in for a few more kisses here and there before letting him go, not that he wanted to. He wanted to keep him in his arms forever... but he knew that wasn't quite possible. They had things to do after all. Giving a smile he said, "Anything new?" He looked around the house, then shook his head, "Other then all of this not anything of note. I was either here or with you, occasionally shopping."

"Now that you're back and we have this place we will have to have a lot more fun. We definitely need to do some fishing. Off the dock for now... though you know what would be nice? A boat! Just a simple one we can paddle out a ways and dive in to go spear fishing or collecting clams. I bet that we could give any pearls to Sunshine's pretty little Jewel." He said, referring to Xarnith and Bisera, hoping to buy the affections of the latter since he was starting to get a feeling that maybe he didn't like him all that much. Not something that he cared for in the least bit.

"It's worth a try at least? If nothing else I'm sure that he would accept them from you." He said, giving him a smile. He couldn't believe that even the grumpy little jewel would be able to resist making friends with Kyrian. Now him on the other hand, he was direct competition for Xarnith in the mind of the little Jewel. Not that he wanted to be seen in such a manner.

"Hm? Well, if you want to. I won't force you to use your music in such a way if you don't want to." He said between bites of the food that Kyrian had dished up for him. He felt that he could catch enough in the way of fish to make it so that he wouldn't have to sell his music and instead could play because he wanted to, not because he had to. If he wanted to do it then who was he to deny him the chance. Giving a smile he said, "This is pretty good. I should see about making some lobster traps so we can have this more often."

Giving a nod of his head he said, "They do a lot of trading here when it comes to shellfish but I bet we can make a good living getting other things as well. It will take a lot of hard work but I think it will be worth it." Looking over at Kyrian he gave him a grin and said, "And I will see about flirting our way to a discount if at all possible." He gave a little wink at that before he continued to eat, working on finishing his portion of the meal.

As he set his boat aside he turned to look over Kyrian, giving a bit of a smile at the question posed to him, " Oh! Well that's an easy one. I was thinking of trying to find a surrogate from your tribe so that we can have a baby that look like what would happen if we were to have a baby." He thought on it and added, "Well, unless you wanted to sleep with a sexy lady from my tribe? Either way would be fun I'm sure."

Mano nodded his head, "Yeah, I thought that would be a fun way to go about things. That way the baby would look just like us and it would be like we had a baby together! So cute!" Mano said, clapping his hands together in a delighted manner. As Kyrian asked if he had anyone in mind he gave a shake of his head, "I figured that it might be best to leave that up to you. I'd rather you picked because then you'd know the person and we could trust them with such an important task." He didn't want just anyone carrying their babies after all.

"Hm? Yeah, it would be nice." He murmured, looking around the house that they had partially set up. Just a glance around was enough to make him smile before he looked back to Kyrian, lifting an eyebrow, "Really? Huh, I never knew that. So none at all or just none of those you've met so far have gotten your attention? Not even Phaedra?" He was rather curious now.

"Yeah, I kinda felt the same... though that could be because she's married. Well, no... more like she's a friend and she's happily married and wouldn't want to play around? Hmm, I do have some morals, you know? Though I will admit I did flirt with a married guy that one time." He mused, thinking back on when he met with that handsome Shifter some time ago. He'd told the guy that his wife was welcome too but nothing really came of it? A shame since Shifters were likely his second favorite tribe.

Giving a smile he said, "I understand though. If you're not into them then you're not into them. No reason to force anything, right?" As the other asked him about his preference he thought on it for a moment then gave a humming sound, "Can't really say. I like both for various reasons but tend to find myself in the company of men more often Maybe it's easier since guys don't have a risk of getting knocked up by accident? I'm only guessing."

"Can't say that I have anyone that comes to mind." He said, watching Kyrian as he dealt with the dishes. He gave a humming sound, "The only ones I've met are those from your group once upon a time ago and the healer that was taking care of you." He seemed to consider her for a time before he said, "I'll admit she is cute but I was far too worried about you to even look at her twice, you know?" On any other day maybe, but not when Kyrian was all laid up.

Laying back on the floor he was sitting on, arms crossing behind his head he thought on the question, "The first thing that attracted me to you? Or like over all everything that does? The first thing was probably your hair, I'd never seen golden hair like yours before that moment. It was like finding a living, breathing treasure." Maybe that was why his hands always itched to tangled in his hair and pull him close with it? A thought he shook off as he continued, "After that it was definitely how kind you were to me. You didn't have to be given I was just a stranger that ended up crossing paths with you. Despite that you took me in, talked to me, entertained me so sweetly."

A thought that made him smile just thinking back on when he'd first met Kyrian and how he'd gotten such a nice kiss from him. Something that made him think about all of the sweet kisses he'd gotten since which made him lick his lips a bit.
