"He seemed rather ambivalent on the subject of undead in general," he noted.
"A matchmaker?" Rio laughed. "Somehow I wouldn't be surprised! Don't understand it? Just what do you mean by that? Do they just not know? Has no one taught you all about love?" How terrible that would be!
"Well I'd say that's a little on the strange side. Not in a bad way, but certainly out of the ordinary!"

Willow chuckled, "I think he regreats being undead himself." Her tail flickered in throught for a moment about how Nara acted.
That was before Rio laughed at her idea. "It would be interesting to have one. Uhhh.... Wellll, to a point. I think it's the fact that most of the owners, mine included fail to know excatly how to explain it." Her tail flickered, "I had to ask one of Acia's sisters...."
Thinking about things that Acia's sister had said she sighed, "I think I got the gernal gist of it.... but when I tried to explain it to Nayati, welll at first it didn't go well. But Tia, acia's sister; said he was acting odd most likley because he liked me.... and said I had a crush." She paused and blinked, "The whole love thing is all so confusing."
Thorn would've puffed out her chest had she had one but instead she gave a grin and giggled, "To each his or her own."

"Well, that's a pity," Rio frowned. "It's really such a beautiful thing! I wish people weren't so squeamish about it. There's nothing gross or strange about any of it at all!"
"Oh yes, that sounds just like it! You see, love can make you act very strangely, even scare you, especially if you don't understand it." He looked quite happy as he talked - he loved love, so he loved to talk about it! "Well, do you have a crush on Nayati? How do you feel when you think of him? When you're around him?"
He petted Thorn absently as he spoke, and added on with a chuckle, "Maybe I wound up with Nanda for a reason. I can help you all!" Realizing that might need a little elaboration, he continued, "I'm the God of Love, you see."
Willow had been very accepting so far, hopefully she'd continue to be so.

Willow blinked, he seemed very smart on the matter. "Well.... I kinda get an... err what would you call it... fluttery feeling when I think about him." She never really thought about it save for the time when Acia's sister asked, "I kinda end up sometimes end up spacing out and my thoughts go to him sometimes too...." She paused, "None of this started happening until my quest. I grew in the middle of it and me and him happened to be sleeping and I was sleeping with himto keep him warm.... and then when he woke up he went all tense and scared like.... that's where the problems starting happening.
She blinked when he said he was the God of love. She was slightly dumbstruck before grinning, "So gods do exisit. Sweetneesss, LP would love to know that." She grinned pondering, "Maybe you did get her for a reason then. It'd fit both, and we need someone that can actully explain things properly." This was a handy thing indeed maybe Nayati would stop being all creeped out.
Thorn churred and fell asleep while Rio was absently petting her, it wasn't often she got attention like this.

Oh! Oh yes, it all made fantastic sense! It filled Rio with all sorts of glee. "Oh yes, I think this Tia is right. That's just the sort of feeling you get! Do you ever dream about him?"
"Yes, yes, that makes perfect sense. He woke up to find a beautiful young lady sleeping beside him, after all! I'm sure the feelings it provoked confused him, especially if he doesn't know much of love. Tell me, how did you feel sleeping there?"
"Well, we were...we were gone for a very long time, but we're coming back now." He nodded. "I'm delighted to help any of you that might need it."

Willow blushed and chuckled, "Sometimes... mostly about how he saved me." Her tail flickered softly as she looked at Rio her head tilted.
"Well.... I was more sleeping on his chest than beside of him...." She muttered softly before, "Well quite honestly I felt rather safe." She pondered over it, "I suppose I didn't realeize it at the time but I felt warm."
Flickering her ear she pondered, "Althought it makes me wonder why I've grown to rather the spirits touching me over the living... Or most of the living I can't really stand." a frown formed as she thought on this, "I dont really want to become a recluse but ever since that anything else just kind of.... makes me gag so to speak."
Her smile returned when he said they were coming back, "I'm glad, for a while it was said that gods were only a myth."

"Safe and warm, yes, exactly," he murmurred, thoroughly delighted. Oh, young love! "And since he saved you, well, all the more reason for you to feel such things towards him. It's quite natural, and absolutely wonderful."
"Well, I wouldn't say that's necessarily a bad thing," he mused, "As long as you're okay with it. And anyway, you obviously aren't devoid of feeling towards the living, given your love for Nayati." Rio didn't hesitate to use the word at all. "Some people just aren't much for being very social, it's really nothing to worry over too much."
"For awhile...yes. We never really stopped existing, but we lost our power, and I guess you could say we slept, for ages and ages."

Willow stared at him, not excatly like he was a mad man but more as towards someone who she could look up to that was a ray of light into the things LP couldn't explain. "Well atleast we've confirmed twice that I am not crazy tonight." She said with a chuckle watching the white kitten sleep in Rio's arms. "Now if you'd only talk some sence into Nayati's head. Possibly Acia too, I had to threaten her so as she wouldn't leave me for that lab of hers and let me walk back to the shop by myself in a area of woods I wasn't well to familure with. Poor Dear all shell shocked by the details Tia went into."
Atleast Rio could explain it and not leave someone wanting to crawl out of their skin. "Oh quite, I enjoy the company of the living to an extent.... but after so long I just get sick of it. I had Carl, he's an egale[sp?], put in my charge for a week.... by the end of hte week I was glad he left."
She nodded, "It's ashame when someone as great as the gods has to well sleep for such a long of a time. To see how much someone has missed out on by having to sleep several thousand years or longer, it's seems rather.... well I don't know what it seems but it's just kind of sad."

It was a look Rio had seen before, and one he liked - he had confidence in himself and his abilities, after all! He was Love! Of course he knew what he was talking about; and as a god, well...it was natural to be looked up to. "I just may," he chuckled, "If I meet him. Shocked by the details? Dear me, that's awful! The details are actually quite wonderful, some people just aren't any good at elaborating. Things can be hard to put into words, after all."
"Goodness! A whole week of it? Just about everyone can overstay their welcome. Somestimes it's good to have time to yourself."
"Yes." The god nodded, a far-off look in his eyes for a moment. "It is sad in a lot of ways, but at least we're waking now. I'm so happy to be back."

Willow chuckled slightly neverously. "I think it was the fact that she might've gone into too much detail explaining it for Acia's tastes." Willow gave a soft shurg, "Then again certain things we most likely can't do because we've come from a chest. I'm sure there's limits on things like that."
Willow chuckled, "I was suppose to teach him how to be humble and less big headed, although I donot think it was very successful." Her tail flickered as she pondered over this fact.
She watched him as he seemed to wonder in his mind. "Indeed you are back and atleast you can't really die. I mean I'm sure if you're spirits lingered I could still talk to you but other than that...." she gave a soft shurg.

"Oh, really? You think so? Limits like what?" Rio was very intrigued!
As she spoke of her efforts with Carl, he chuckled a little. "Some people just are that way, I'm afraid. There's not very much to be done."
"Well, we weren't ghosts exactly. We were...housed within stones. Here," he said, carefully lifting the hem of his shirt to show his stomach, where there was embedded a smooth pink gem, "This is mine." Also on his stomach was a scar in the shape of his cross - a scar that had been Alex's.

"Welll tecinally we're not really anatomonically;" She stumbled over the word a bit for even her vocabulary that was a hard one; "Correct. I supect that we lack certain important parts. Atleast from LP's life drawing books that's what I've gathered. She's trying to improve on her art skills." Willow added the last bit with a whisper before going back to her normal tone. "Atleast at the differences in our structers if an animal such as a horse and a tiger wanted offspring it wouldn't really be possible, same with a tiger and a dragon being considered a t....t...." She stopped there and sighed.
Afterhing having shook her head clear of the thoughts precedding it she nodded, "I'll have to try and remind myself that and not gag when he tries to woo someone." She chuckled, "he's like out of a fairytale, one that's gone slightly sour."
Willow peered at the pink gem as she was shown in and the scar too. "Interesting. I've not really ran into spirits yet that have been housed in items as such." Her hand raised to her chin as she thought about it. "I wonder if I could've talked to those there were in stones like that."

"Ohh, I see..." That was very interesting! Very interesting indeed. Did that mean they couldn't have children at all? Coming after what it had, he thought the unfinished example of tiger and dragon merely something she hadn't deigned to follow through with, as the first example had already served quite well.
Rio chuckled a little. A fairy tale gone sour! "I take it he's not very good at it, then?"
"Hmm, maybe you could? It would be fascinating, that's for sure." Wouldn't it ever!

"Not really sure how the whole... baby thing works." She muttered puzzling over that for a second, "I mean I've seen enough animal planet to know where those babies come from but there's really not anyone old enough here yet to have kids...." She shurged.
"Wellll if you like overly melodramatic men then I suppose he is. He tries to hard if you ask me." Her tail flickered and she chuckled.
"It would be." She agreed with a chuckle. "I've yet to run into a spirit that I can't talk to." She said with a grin and a nod. "Well save for the plush velvets. They're like an egg I suppose you could say."

"Haha! Oh, no. There really is such a thing as overdoing it. Maybe I ought to have a chat with him too, hmm?" Rio laughed. This was slowly forming into a sort of project, a sort of mission, in his head. This lot really did need help!
"An egg?" He peered at Nanda for a moment. "I'd never thought of it that way, but...yes, it makes sense, now that you mention it."
