Niyana just lay there looking at him he was even more handsome now. Oh man she was going to be screwed waking up to his face sometimes. She felt herself blush as he leaned down to kiss her. It was almost like their first kiss. Though in a way it was...she had not touched him wail he was grown until now.
"Then we better get you home...and you might want to get some new clothes before we talk to her." she said as she moved an arm to stroke his leaner but still solid muscle shoulder. Oh it was so unbelievably tempting to be bad.
Thankfully she hear a voice calling for her husband. She felt a small jealousy at the sound of a girl's voice but it sounded too young and familiar to be 'competition' for her lover. She sighed, she had wanted life to continue going on just the two of them but she knew sooner of later his other world would catch up to them. And she could not help but fear that, though they had nothing but sweet and 'binding' words for the last week, their love might have just been a fleeting thing and once he returned she would lose him. Maybe he had never planned on taking her home to meet his mother.
"It looks like the search party is out..." She smiled up at him not letting any of her worry show on her face. She let go of his arm though and stood up moving to get her clothes, "I better go changed then." she pulled the blanket around her and pulled off his shirt tossing it to him and making sure she had all of her things moved to hide in a small group of bushes to dress and make sure it didn't look like they had shared a sleeping arrangement. All the wail her mind tried to work out who that voice was.

Celebor chuckled again as Niyana moved off to get dressed. He would wait for her right where he was, and while she headed off he folded the shirt that she had tossed to him. He didn't know why she had bothered to return it, really. It wouldn't even fit him anymore.
Still, he folded the shirt, then his tunic, and piled them together neatly. He added his weapons belts to the pile, since they would also need a lot of adjusting before they would fit him again (if they even would; if not, he would pass them down to Shiro, he thought), then set it all next to his boots. He would have to carry all of it back ... but that didn't bother him.
He wondered about Niyana's comment about finding new clothes before returning home. Should he? It was true, he still had her handmarks in green and yellow on each side of his chest (a bit stretched now that he had grown, but still there), but he wasn't embarrassed by them ... and besides that, Helen would be all over him as soon as he discovered that he didn't have clothes that fit anymore, so he wouldn't be clothes-less for long.
"Celebor!" the voice called again, a little louder this time, a little closer, though still far enough away that Niyana would have enough time to dress before they would arrive.
Celebor could already identify the voice as Idhril's. She was the most softspoken girl in the family (next to Serenity, of course, though Serenity was improving daily). Well, he would call back as soon as Niyana returned with her clothes on.

Niyana dressed quickly and ran her fingers threw her hair to loosen the top of her braid, so her hair would not be so bed head looking. She sighed and walked back folding her blanket and putting it in a pouch. "Are you not going to call her back?"
She asked and smiled at the dragons she had painted on him one last night. They curve and twisted together over his back and the top of his backside and hips. The larger green and yellow one seemed to cradle the slightly smaller brown one. She could not shake the worried feeling she was starting to feel but stronger now. She wondered if her stretched hand marks on his flat stronger chest was a sign that their love would be stretched and strained.
She stood there tying her jar to her hip. "Alright I am already, you can call her over before she gets worried."

Celebor rose to his feet and turned to face Niyana, smiling warmly at the tiny orange elf-runes that spelled his name down the middle of her nose.
"I was giving you time to dress," he murmured leaning over to kiss her cheek before turning around once more and looking out over the long, tall grass for his sister.
"I'm over here!" he called out, cupping his hands around his mouth and then waving one hand in the air to catch his sister's attention.
Idhril just about cried with relief when she spotted her brother, and she lifted the hem of her skirt and began to run towards him. She had been so worried about him! The whole family had! He had been gone for so long!
"Celebor!" she cried when she got closer. "Why did you go away?" And she pounced on him, throwing her arms around his waist and hugging him tightly, pressing her head against his stomach.
Celebor smiled and gently lay one hand on his sister's head. "It's all right, Idhril, I'm coming home now ... and guess what?"
He knelt to his sister's height and smiled broadly at her. "Niyana's coming with us."
Idhril's golden eyes grew wide with surprise, and she looked up to see Niyana standing near. She hadn't even noticed her!
"Hello!" she said eagerly, waving to her good friend. "I'm sorry I haven't visited you for a while, there's been so much happening! Thank you for the ingredients, I've been having lots of fun with the dye!"
And then she paused, her expression growing confused. "Why are you coming home with us?" she asked blankly.

Niyana felt a wave of releif seeing Idhril coming and running over. She was very touched watching her hugging Celebor. They were so cute together. She really wondered if she would be able to do this...to meet his family and even think she could hold her own against his family. She really should just let him go back and she should stay here.
Why, why she suddenly so very worried? She was never one to back down or get so afraid. She was actually terrified when the young second elf asked why she was going to go home with them, "Well Celebor thinks that I should get out of the second you world...I am here far too often...and I would love to see how well your dye has gotten." she smiles and walks over to kneel next to Idhril. "I am glad to hear you have been enjoying the dye. As you can see I am getting your big brother into it was well." she points to her nose and smiles.

Idhril giggled and blushed softly, leaning closer to read the runes.
"Oh, it's his name!" she exclaimed happily. "That's so nice!"
She didn't even notice that Niyana was acting a little differently from usual: but then, this was her first time seeing Niyana as an adult, so if she noticed anything different she just blamed it on that.
Celebor watched his mate and his sister interacting, and he couldn't help but frown gently at Niyana's reply to Idhril's question. He was not ashamed of them, and hoped that she wasn't either, and if they were going to be honest with his family then it was best that they begin right there and then.
He reached forward and took Niyana's hand in his own, twining their fingers together and clasping her hand tightly.
"Idhril," he said softly, interrupting the conversation between the two girls, "what would you think if I told you that I love Niyana?"
Idhril looked up at her big brother, and her eyes grew wide and sparkling.
"Really?" she asked excitedly, clapping her hands together. "Really really?" And she looked from Niyana to Celebor and back, bouncing on the tips of her toes energetically. "Does that mean you're going to be my sister too Niyana? Oh, please say yes! Please please please say yes!"

Niyana felt tears fill her eyes but she would not let them fall. She smiled and nods holding his hands tighter, "I would love to be your big sister as long as your approve Idhril. And you can teach me your abstract dye work and I could teach you realistic if you like...and seeing your lovely taste in dresses I am sure you know where all the nice spots are maybe you can help me pick out something nice for your big brother." She smiled warmlly.
At least it look like she would have one supporter for her entrance into the family. She look up at Celebor it was clear that she loved him more than anything but there was something inside them that showed she was worried.
She smiled and Idhril again then looked back up at Celebor.

"Well, Helen makes all of our clothes for us," Idhril explained, "so if you want nice clothes maybe you can ask him for some! Of course he'll make you stand on a stool for a long time and walk around you a whole bunch of times but then he always makes such pretty clothes!"
She turned and looked at Celebor again, noticing only now that he was bigger than he had been when he had first disappeared.
"You grew again!" she exclaimed, her hands flying to her mouth in surprise. "Mama's going to be so happy! And Helen too he likes making clothes ..."
She trailed off, noticing for the first time the marks on his chest. "Those are big hand prints," she murmured, her tone filled with awe.
Celebor chuckled. Of course, then handprints were now bigger than Niyana's, since they had grown with him, but also for that reason he could think of no way to explain them away other than, "We were playing with the paint." And he turned around to show his back to Idhril. "See?"
"Wow!" Idhril exclaimed, clapping her hands. "So pretty!"
She didn't see the way the two dragons were ... how to say it ... cradling each other?
Celebor took the opportunity to examine Niyana's expression a bit more closely. There was something going on there ... something that he couldn't quite place ... something he hadn't seen before ...
"Are you all right?" he asked her softly, too softly for Idhril to hear.

Niyana looks at Celebor and nods, "I am fine..." she whispers and then turn her attention to Idhril, "Yes we were playing with paints allot. "I still have the faded marks of your on me too see?" She held out her hands and on the top of her left one were the faint marks of the abstract pattern Idhril made on her.
"Who is Helen? Oh its a he? " She smiles not meeting Celebor's eyes again. But her hand held his firmly, "Well I don't have anything to pay him with yet...and well I think I might look a bit odd in elven robes." She laughed, "But I don't think I should meet your mother in my mess of clothes do you? I want to make a good impression so that she will let me be your big sister and Celebor's wife."
She watched the young elf looking over her brother with the same awe she had had...minus the lust. She relaxed a little. Though she was worried that maybe she was talking too 'childish' to Idhril.

Celebor wasn't convinced, but he didn't want to cause a scene in front of Idhril. Instead, he just chuckled. "Yes, Helen ... our uncle. He loves making clothes and he doesn't take payment for them. His pleasure is strictly in the fussing over it all. And he doesn't only make elven clothes ... he's actually a living doll ... he makes clothes for everyone, and we've got ... well ... angels and demons and nekos and mers and humans and ... well, you name it."
Idhril giggled at Niyana. "Don't be silly!" she chided her friend. "Mama wouldn't care what you're wearing, so long as Celebor loves you and you love him! She always says that's what's important."
Celebor grinned and put one hand on Idhril's head. He was proud of her.

Niyana listens to Celebor and nods, "OH I see...very interesting...your family is truly amazing or so it sounds." She nods, "Well then I guess I don't have to look nice, Because to do love your brother so very much."
She nods and smiles, "I guess we should get your brother clothed again before seeing her at least?" Idhril was a smart girl. and Niyana did like her allot. "So would you two like to go on ahead and I will meet you some where?"

Celebor reached for Niyana's hand once again. "No," he said quickly. "Come with us. No matter what, Mom's not going to be prepared. Who knows? Maybe we'll get lucky and Lore will already be there anyways. But I don't want to risk you getting lost or anything like that."
And he didn't want to have to leave her.
He smiled. "And I'm fine, I'll just get some new clothes at home again."
Idhril nodded and took Niyana's other hand. "Come on," she encouraged her eagerly, her entire face shining with excitement. "We'll all go together! Mama will be so happy! Oh, and Celebor guess what! Jair was born!"
Celebor flushed. "I'm sorry I wasn't around ... I know I promised Mom I'd take care of him ... is he okay?"
Idhril nodded. "Ryu took him here for the day but they'll be back tonight," she assured him.

Niyana tried not to sigh as he took her hand, taking away the last escape she could go on. Then she felt the smaller hand of Idhril take the other. Crap she was trapped. She had never left this word. Or had to worry about a family. "I...I wont get lost....if I did I would just wait for you..." She nods, "Okay we can go..."
She looked shocked at the mention of someone being born. Then she looked up at Celebor and seeing the flush she felt her heart crack softly. Then he was talking about taking care of a child....his own?
So many new names....she was having so much trouble already remembering names. What was she doing trying to enter into this life. She didn't even think she should ask who is who and try to work it out. She just decides to listen and walk with them letting them guide her.

Celebor smiled at Niyana. "Mom got a new vase last week ... I think just a few days before I found you ... she was going to let me take care of him, since he's a mer and I love the water so much ... but ... well ..."
He flushed slightly, chuckling at her. She of course knew what had sidetracked him.
"So it seems as though we have a new brother to meet," he went on, letting go of her hand and instead putting one arm around her shoulders so that he could walk closer to her. "Well. I am sorry for letting Mom down, but ... it looks as though I won't be helping her as much as I had thought."
Idhril blinked up at Celebor. "You won't?" she asked, confused.
Celebor shook his head. "No, I'm going to be living here with Niyana," he told her with a smile. "Just like after Mom and Lore are married, Lore will be moving in with us."

Niyana nods, thankfully it did not seem like it was his. But still...it was his to take care of. Her mind was still racing so. and she tired to calm herself. She needed to be calm for all this.
And feeling his arm move over her shoulders, and the heat of his body pressing against her she felt for the first time since waking up that she was safe, and that it would all be alright and work out but she winced at his words.
She looked up at him still holding Idhril's hand, "You wont let her down you can still look over him and take care him. Celebor...as much as I want you by my side I can not expect you to change your life for me..." her fingers of her free hand had no where to go but to rest on the brim of his pants. But at least it was where Idhril could not see.
She turned to smile at Idhril, "I won't seal him from you little sister. I know he has a job to do and he already has a very close and nice family to take care of." As much as she would love for it to be just him and her in a little house, She would love to just be with him alone in their home, but it would not be his home, and she was sure he would get bored without going out and saving people.
