"That, I can do." Po-ar replied, summoning his pink elephant minions to bring them all tea. "But to get you those foods, we'll have to go to earth."

"Let's find Ash and Trunks and my brother first." Morrigan suggested. "They're on their way to meet us, after all."

Nodding, Po-ar looked to Ainsu. "Will you..."
"Go. If Aled comes, you will know of it." Ainsu replied with a slight smile. "Besides, I rather did always enjoy your dimension."
With a smile of his own, Po-ar opened a portal. "This should take us to their space ship... I can almost feel how close Ashuri is."

Morrigan gave Ainsu a large, tight hug. "Thank you." she smiled, before taking Po-ar's hand again.
To say the least, when they arrived, Vincent, Eara, and Avaon were shocked...
But Vincent was the funniest about it.
"WHERE WERE YOU?!" he demanded, "WHAT HAPPENED?!!"
"Nothing." Morrigan soothed him, "I'm alright."
"Your JAW is BRUISED!" Vincent exclaimed, "And what about your cheek?!!"
She'd forgotten about those, but the sudden grin on her face as she sought out a mirror said she was rather pleased. "Yeah, you know, it's always fun to not help one's enemies..." she murmured, pushing on them lightly and wincing.
These were going to hurt for a while. She'd need to eat another leaf from the tree.
"Need a ride home, guys?"

"Which home?" Ashuri asked, looking at them strangely. "I thought there was trouble."
Po-ar nodded, "There is. Aled's alive. He's taken over Tarnbsei and very nearly control of me... again..."
Sighing, Ashuri shook her head, "I would rather not fight him, Po-ar... he's strong enough as it is and I..."
"Then who will? We can't leave our people to his tyranny. Even Ainsu was..."
At this, the woman paled slightly, "Ainsu? Ainsu's still alive?"
Po-ar nodded, "Of course."
Oh yes... this certainly complicated matters...

"I saved him myself." Morrigan added. "It was a touch complicated."
"Saved WHO?!" Vincent demanded, "Damnit, woman, elaborate, NOW!"
"Hush old man." Morrigan scolded. "All in due time."
Avaon was a bit impressed. For a younger sister, she conducted herself like the eldest, without question.
"Ainsu was very kind to me." she added. "He deserves many blessings."

"It's not his kindness I'm worried about..." Ashuri whispered... and she appeared to be blushing.
Po-ar leaned close to Morrigan, whispering so only she could hear. "Ainsu ummm... kind of used to like her. And by like I mean it in the strongest sense of the word."

Morrigan smirked. "Oh but I beg to differ. I do believe that he'll be just as generous towards her, if not triply so, as he was to me." she chuckled, before remembering Trunks was there.
She blushed and winced. "No offense, dear." she added to the man. "Hey, tell me you guys brought pickled peppers..." she suddenly chirped, making towards the fridge, "Really, anything pickled..."

Trunks shook his head, "Most of what's in there is just the basics." he spoke, trying to ignore the blush on his wife's cheeks. "There may be some way back in the back... but I doubt they're edible." the man leaned over to Ashuri. "Just what did..."
"I don't want to talk about it." Ashuri replied with a sigh and roll of her eyes.

Morrigan was already in the kitchen, going through everything they had.
She did find pickled ginger, which was still good, too.
Vincent approached her, arms crossed.
"You hate pickled anything." he stated again, watching her with a frown.
"Tastes change!" Morrigan declared, eating it ravenously. She hadn't had the chance to eat since before fighting Konton; she was pretty hungry. She also tried a more older pickle, only to spit it out in the sink like she was spitting out some kind of poison.
Vincent raised an eyebrow.
"No, no, it was good, I could've eaten it," Morrigan insisted, blanching, "I just don't feel too well."
Vincent deadpanned.
Morrigan looked at him, biting her lip. They both had the same idea on their minds, and Vincent was waiting for her to say something.
But that never happened. Instead the woman shoved him out of her way before skidding into the bathroom, relieving her stomach of the condiments without hesitation.
Vincent watched her disappear before his eyes leveled on Po-ar, as if to ask him the same question. If Po-ar was aware of anything, however, he was spectacular at hiding it.
Morrigan emerged after a while, smiling, apparently alright. "No, I guess I don't like pickled things..." she blushed a bit, before entering the kitchen again and making herself some tea. She had a small sandwich as well.
She was a good actress, but whether or not she was good enough to fool herself was a different story.

Po-ar however, was hanging around in the kitchen, watching his love closely while both Ashuri and Trunks piloted the ship.
"Mor-chan... something's wrong... you obviously don't feel well."

Morrigan shook her head. "Even for a fae, your father has some pretty impressive... if not outright mind-blowing....power, and I really thought you guys were going to have to bring me back with the Cauldron." she frowned. "I haven't eaten since we got there.. I haven't had much of an appetite, and I was worried the food was drugged..." she closed her eyes. "I think it's stress."
Vincent just stared at them with blatant accusation. "Alright. Question. Is there.."
"No!" Morrigan cut him off, before biting her lip again. "At least, I don't... think...so...."
She began to fidget. "Look, I think it's just stress. No one can go through what I did and still...."
Vincent just raised an eyebrow.
The priestess fell silent, seriously thinking it over. "I have been kinda moody lately...." she murmured, remembering the palace. "There were certainly more than a few moments that I said some things I might've not had the balls to say rationally.."
"Like?"
"I think I threw every expletive in the book at them, and then I outright killed Ishara in cold blood." she closed one eye.
"So that explains your clothing. Here I thought you were hurt again." he sighed.
Morrigan just turned a brilliant, crimson red, glancing between the two men. "I'm fine... Probably just a bit stressed..." she insisted, shaking her head.
But Avaon had been observing, arms crossed, as had Eara with avid curiousity. Avaon was the only one bold enough to speak those words, however.
"So, it's rather likely you're pregnant." he stepped into the kitchen, arms crossed. "Is this what everyone's dancing around?"
Once it was out in the air, Vincent looked over her and found himself a bit surprised. "You know, I thought she was starting to get a little chubby...."
"Oh #%($ off!" Morrigan exclaimed, punching both of their arms hard. They both chuckled a bit.
Eara smiled. "Have you ever had children Mor??"
"Not once." Vincent answered for her. "Not enough time for her and Ea during all the wars."
"And you're older than me..." she blinked in disbelief. "I have a son out there but he's already grown... bard, naturally..."
Avaon smiled. "You know, she's not all that old...."
Morrigan had sat down, jacking an entire ginger root from the spices and eating it eagerly. Not only would it soothe her stomach, but it would keep her from freaking out.
Eara was sensitive to this. "I think we should leave them alone for a bit..." she admonished them both, "C'mon, get out of here..."
Once they had left, Mor sat in silence for a while, not sure what to think or say.
She didn't even know his position on it, let alone whether or not she was.... even if she was awfully, awfully suspicious that the answer was yes.

"You did not kill him for long." Po-ar replied. "Whatever my father did to return to life, no doubt he will bring Ishara back as well."
At the notion that she could be pregnant however, the Tarnb-jin Oji fell unnaturally silent. When he did speak, he was hesitant and careful of his words.
"I..." Po-ar stopped, looking to Morrigan carefully. "I"m happy... I mean, not that this has happened at such a bad time, but happy that..." Po-ar smiled slightly, "Happy that we can share something to precious."
Morrigan frowned. "The Tree of Life. The way he spoke of it... there was a gleam in his eye, and I know that look." she added. "That's the connection. We cut him off from that, we cut him off, period... and they stay dead this time." she closed her own eyes, thinking. "As for...well, let's not go making any assumptions yet." she decided carefully.
"If I am pregnant....we'll deal with that when we're absolutely sure... It seems like a logical choice. I'll have to be careful." she winced. "Damn... No more roughhousing..."
Po-ar shook his head, "Would it be such a bad thing?" he asked, meaning the child. "We should assume that you're pregnant, Mor-chan, thus you'll have to be way more careful than normal... which means no more one-on-one fights with my father."
He sighed, thinking to himself for a long moment. "The only way to seperate him from the Tree is to get him off world... but whatever planet he goes to will be in serious jepardy."
"Well... he's trying to find a child that's taken up your powers." Morrigan shook her head. "What are we going to do about that?"
Po-ar shrugged. "It could be any newborn on Tarnbsei to tell you the truth."
"Well....How long do you think before he finds him, or her?" Morrigan asked. "You said yourself, we're going to have to find that child before he does. How in the world are we going to do that??"
"Ainsu is looking, or should be rather. His network of knowledge is more extensive than my father's, so I'm hoping Ainsu finds the child first." Po-ar sighed. "The only problem is that if the child doesn't actually SHOW the power at such an early stage in it's life."
"Well... his aura would be like yours, right?" Morrigan whispered, glancing up from her cup of tea. "I did notice that the people on your planet's auras vary much more than humans... but some seem similar, like the twins among the advisors. Is it the same?"
"But we've no idea how to read auras." Po-ar replied. "Ki levels yes, but auras... those are something differently entirely." he smiled, "Though, with you by my side, I think we've just gained an advantage over my father in this department."
Morrigan sighed in relief. "Good. Alright, then.... perhaps I should start looking myself?" she suggested, her brow furrowed in thought. "I wonder if I could teach you.... or someone else...."
She snapped her fingers suddenly, rising to her feet. "The students. All the aspiring druids and druidesses have the power.... Why don't we send them to team up with Ainsu's people?? If they see your aura...
Hell, to think of it, they more or less already have... They'll know what to be looking for." she grinned.
The man pulled Morrigan into a hug. "Perfect! I can send them to Ainsu through my portal and they can travel with his informants, looking for the child." but Po-ar suddenly frowned, "It will be quite dangerous though... I mean... Aled will stop at nothing for this power. If he can't get it from me, he'll get it from whoever he can. Will that be alright? Putting their lives on the line like
Morrigan nodded. "They've been itching to start trying out their skills." she admitted. "Between the diving abilities, and all that sorts...."
She smiled, nuzzling his chest. "Even so, unless he has amazing power to teleport to Earth's Otherworld... our powers won't do him much good... Unless he figures out the aura thing."

"It's not stealing power that scares me." Po-ar replied. "It's the whole life-and-death struggle. I really don't want anyone more than who needs to be, involved in this mess."

Morrigan shook her head. "Death is the same as life, Po-ar." she sighed a bit, trying to explain.
She had died so many times that the process was as familiar and natural to her as anything. "We have the Cauldron, anyhow---this process is what happens with our spirits anyhow, it's just different in the sense you wake up in the same body. They won't be afraid." she hugged him tight. "It must be done. They know as well as I that such a small trifle isn't much in the grand scheme of things. If Aled finds that kid, we're going to have problems."
