Sehnin smiled a bit anxiously.
"But not more trees than we really need, right?" she asked Joruri, twisting a strand of her long hair around her finger. "Because we shouldn't use more than we really need ... and it wouldn't be good to cut down a tree we don't need ..."
Idhril giggled softly and hugged Sehnin close. "You sound like an elf, all right," she laughed, leaning her head once more on Joruri's shoulder. "Don't worry, we won't cut down more trees than necessary."
She looked up at Joruri and smiled. "I'm sure Celebor would be happy to help us," she said softly. "And Niyana, as well ... she is very strong, I'm sure she could help us too."

Joruri nods, "Yes dear Sehnin...no more trees than we need." he smiled and rested his head atop Idhril's looking at their daughter. She was far too sweet and prefect, just like her mother.
"Yes Niyana....is very strong, as is Celebor...shall we go see them today then.." he blushed knowing they could not leave Sehnin and that there would be no way to explain her to Niyana. Trying to think of what Niyana would do when she found out not only that Joruri had taken Idhril....but some how they had a child.

Idhril looked quite thoughtful at the suggestion, but after a moment's pause, she shook her head negatively.
"No," she murmured, "not today. Today ... we should just spend today together ... as a ... family ..."
She loved the way the simple word sounded on her lips, the way it felt in her mouth. Family. So new ... so strange ... and yet so perfect.
"And we still need to plan the house, and find a good site for it," she added. "But tomorrow, if we're ready, then we can go see Celebor and Niyana, and see if they will help us."
She was certain they would, but of course it would be rude to assume.
Sehnin looked up at Joruri innocently. "Who are Celebor and Niyana?" she asked curiously, pausing her hair twirling for a moment as she waited for a reply.

Joruri nods, "Yes we should spend today together...just the three of us. Sehnin can help pick out a good tree for us."
He looked down at her, "Oh yes...Sehnin does not know Celebor nor Niyana. They are Idhril's brother and sister in law." He reached out a hand to stroke the young's surprise's hair softly.
"Hmm...well shall Joruri get Sehnin and Idhril food then we can look for a nice tree and start planing?"

Sehnin giggled and nodded, watching her father's fingers as he stroked her hair. It made her feel like she really was a part of the family, and as though she had been for a long time.
"Maybe some trees together?" she suggested. "And connect them!"
Idhril raised one hand to run her fingers through the soft golden hair of Joruri's bangs. "Perhaps some bridges or something," she agreed with Sehnin. "Perhaps a different room in the top of each tree."
She leaned over and kissed Joruri on the cheek.
"Go ahead, my love," she smiled warmly. "Sehnin and I can handle things here."
Besides brushing her hair out, she knew she also wanted to set up a bit of a home-ish type atmosphere for the little family that they had become. Sleeping area, cooking, and so on.

Joruri smiles, "That sounds like it would be wonderful...lots of trees with parts for all of us. It would take a wail but Joruri is sure with lots of work we can build a heaven in the sky prefect for our family.
He blushed at the soft kiss and leaned to kiss Idhril's lips warmly then slowly kiss the top of Sehnin's head. He stood and looked at his sliced shirt and picking it up to use it as a bag, walked out to a near by bush and tree to gather some fruits and berrys for them to eat.

Sehnin giggled and waved at Joruri as he left.
"Be safe, Papa!" she called after him. Once he was gone, she looked up at Idhril and giggled again. "Now what?" she asked eagerly.
Idhril smiled warmly at her daughter and stroked her hair lovingly.
"I need to brush my hair so that it isn't so heavy," she replied softly, "and then we can start to make this cave comfortable for us to live in. How does that sound?"
Sehnin thought it sounded absolutely lovely, and so the two of them got straight to work. It took a while to brush all of the knots and water out of Idhril's hair, but at long last they finished, and after brushing Sehnin's hair as well (just for fun, since it was already both dry and knotless) they set about rearranging the few things that were in the cave.
They left Sehnin's vase where it was, back in the shadows, and brought Idhril's blanket there as well so that all three of them would sleep close to each other. Then they moved to just outside the cave, looking for rocks to make a fire pit just at the cave's entrance. Once that was done, they collected sticks for a fire.

About the time the two had finished putting the blanket over with the vase, Joruri returned with a shirt full of berries and apples. He watched his mate and their daughter and could not help but feel so happy and prideful. He could not believe that he could be so blessed after his long life.
He was in so much awe of both of them. He helped them with bringing in the stones and sticks for a fire before he set out the fruit for them. Life was so wonderful right now he would not have changed it for anything. "Joruri supposes Sehnin does not have a favorite food right now huh?

Sehnin wiped a bit of sweat from her forehead as she and her mother finished up with the preparations, and at her father's question she giggled and turned to him, clasping her hands behind her back and smiling warmly.
"I haven't had much food," she offered cheerfully, skipping over to him and sitting next to him, leaning her head against his leg. "While we were waiting for you the goddess gave me a cookie but that was it. I don't know other food."
She'd had quite a chat with the goddess while they had been waiting.

Joruri smiled, "Well Joruri has never had a cookie...but he hops that Sehnin enjoyed hers." he smiled and stroked her head gently. "Idhril...will this be enough food for the two of you?" he asked as he lay his shirt open near the fire.
He hoped that their daughter would not wonder and ask too many questions. But if she did he knew the would work it out. Their family might be new but he knew there was lots of love between the three of them.

Idhril eyed the food that Joruri had gathered thoughtfully.
"I think so," she said hesitantly. "I mean ... it's more than enough for me, so .. I suppose it just depends on Sehnin's appetite."
After all, who knew how much their daughter could eat?
Sehnin smiled at her father, then skipped over to sit beside the open shirt.
"What's all this, Papa?" she asked brightly, poking at some of the berries. "Is it tasty?"

Joruri smiled at his mistress his hand reaching over to take hers. "We can dry them after if there is some left over...Joruri use to see some servants around my former master's home what would dry fruit, Joruri should he could do it too."
He turned and smiled softly at Sehnin, "That is a blueberry...and then the red ones are raspberries and these big reddish hard fruits are called apples...they come in different colors and tastes."
The girl was just too cute. He still had fear that he might have to do harm to her, but he knew Idhril would never ask that of him to do that. He was so lucky to have two beautiful females to love and care for.

Sehnin grinned brightly at Joruri, then held up one hand and gave him an enthusiastic thumbs up sign.
"I can't wait to try it all!" she said eagerly, turning back to the food. She looked from one bit to another, trying to decide what to start with, and finally she decided on a blueberry. She picked it up and popped it in her mouth, munching on it happily.
"It's so yummy!" she exclaimed - and with a giggle, she ran over to Joruri and hugged his leg. "Thank you, Papa!"
Idhril stroked the back of Joruri's hand with her thumb, watching their daughter and smiling softly. She was so beautiful ... When Sehnin hugged Joruri, Idhril giggled.
"I think this is all going to work out just fine," she murmured happily. She lifted Joruri's hand to her lips and kissed it lightly.

Joruri watched his daughter's personality. She definatly got her energy and personality from her mother as well. He would not complain. The world needed more people like Idhril.
"That is what fathers do Sehnin. They take care of their wife and children." he smiled down at her though at Idhril's words he turned to her. She always drew his attention and love. His gem glowed warmly as she kissed his hand.
"Yes Idhril..." he smiled and shifted to pull her into his lap being careful of Sehnin.

Idhril smiled warmly and moved to sit in Joruri's lap, leaning her head against his shoulder and snuggling warmly against him.
"Keep eating," she encouraged their daughter with a smile. "There's lots, so have as much as you want."
Her eyes shone brightly as she turned sideways on Joruri's lap and slipped her arms around him, hugging him gently. She couldn't be happier at the moment - Joruri had acknowledged her as his wife, they had a beautiful and sweet daughter ... how could life be more perfect?
Sehnin nuzzled her cheek against Joruri's leg once more before skipping off to the food again, and this time she tried a raspberry that was the size of her fist. It was a little sour, and her lips puckered up and her eyes squeezed shut for a moment - but then she giggled and took another bite.
"It's all so yummy!" she squealed with laughter, licking her thumb to catch some of the juice.
