Kanis bit her lip and looked about ready to cry she was so confused but she nodded, "Yes father...I will...I will make you and mother and Corrah very proud." she said, "I can promise that!" she looked at her father and bit her lip, "Are you going to be going some where dad? Is Aunt Idhril alright?"
Rhea smiled and nods, "Yes! No male is allowed near my Arrras!" he had not ment to let is slip but he was so happy it would just be him and Aras now. He smiled and wrapped his arms around Aras nuzzling her neck.

Celebor hugged Kanis gently.
"Your aunt is fine now," he assured her, "she has Joruri to keep her safe ... your mother and I have some things to do, so we might not be available to you for a while. We will be back to check on you as soon as we can, though, I promise."
He cupped her chin in one hand and lifted it so that he could look into her eyes. "Are you going to be all right without us for a while?"
Armus smiled bemusedly. "Well, you just make sure to at least try keep your hands to yourselves while Aras's parents are here ... they're a little distracted at the moment but I'm sure they would notice your little attachment."
She laughed softly.
Aras giggled. "It's okay, Armus," she grinned at the woman. "I'm going to tell them when they come see me! Then they won't have to worry, and then they'll know!"

Kanis hugged her father back warmly. "I am glad aunt Idhril is alright. OH okay...well I hope you and mom have a good time...as long as I have Corrah and Armus I will be fine. I will try to be walking but the time you come back." She said with a smile.
Rhea's ears went down at Armus' words, and jumped from Aras. "I....I am sorry Aras...I slipped." he looked like a scolded pup. He had not ment to let Armus know.
Niyana sat back though looked confused at Celebor saying they had some where to be. She sat back and watched Celebor on Armus. She then moved to Corrah and handed him the herb, "Have her rub this on the wound before she goes to bed and when she get up for the next few days and it will prevent any more infection.

Celebor smiled back and ruffled Kanis's hair affectionately.
"Then we will see you soon enough," he murmured softly; and he rose once more to his feet and turned to Niyana.
"Shall we go see Aras?" he asked her softly.
Corrah took the herb from Niyana and nodded seriously.
"I shall do as you say," he promised quietly. "I will do all that I can to keep both of your daughters safe."
Aras giggled and ruffled Rhea's hair as she had seen others do, and as her father did to her.
"It's just Armus," she told him brightly. "Besides ..." She giggled again. "I think she already knew. But when my mommy and daddy come, you have to let me tell them, okay?"

Kanis smiles and watches her father and mother.
Niyana nods, "I know you will Corrah...you are a very honorable man...we thank you so much for all you have done." she smiled then looked at Celebor, "Yes lets go see Aras....Corrah will you please show us the way?" She smiled and stroked Kanis' hair and then took Celebor's hand again.
Rhea licked Aras' wrist as she ruffled his hair.Then nods, "Yes..." he moved at least a person away from Aras and laid down his paws, hands, hanging over the cliff. As he waited. He would let his partner do what she like and he would protect her.

Corrah nodded at Niyana, then turned to Kanis.
"Keep that dagger close," he told her softly, "and use it if you have to. I will return shortly."
He nodded at Celebor and Niyana once more, then beckoned for them to follow him and headed off into the trees.
Celebor gave Niyana's hand a warm squeeze and started after Corrah, keeping her hand in his as he went.
Aras giggled and lay down, using Rhea's back as a pillow while they waited.
"Are you going to stay where you are?" she asked Armus curiously, wondering why the woman was still standing in the same place.
Armus grinned and nodded. "You two look quite comfortable up there," she replied with a shrug, "and your parents won't be long."
And she didn't particularly feel like climbing at the moment.

Kanis nods, "Yes sir..." she patted the dagger and watched her parents and master walk off together. She sighed and lay back looking up into the sky alone again.
Niyana held Celebor's hand warmly. It seemed all was going fairly well right now. She smiled a bit. "so how far do you live from the children?" she asked softly.
Rhea looked down and sighed, "Should Mother and I leave when your parents come? So you can talk alone?"

Corrah looked at Niyana over his shoulder.
"As near or as far as I deem necessary," he replied softly. "I have no fixed abode ... they have safe homes, you needn't fear ... and I sleep where I feel like. The place where Kanis is is the place I slept the night before she was hurt, and fortunately it is near where the girls were staying. Other times I have been on the other side of the mountain."
He turned to watch where he was going again. "Aras is but a few short minutes away," he assured her.
Aras shook her head and put her arms around Rhea's neck, hugging him gently.
"I don't ever want to be without you," she told him quietly, so that only he would be able to hear her. "Never ever!"

Niyana nods. Well she was not surprised that the elf moved around it was his mountain and he should be free to move around. "Yes it is very fortunate that it was near." She allowed them to walk on in silence.
You handled it all very well Corrah...I am proud of you. After Aras we need to go to Ruque.
Rhea smiled and licked Aras' neck. "Me either." he responded. "But maybe better for your parents if you tell them without me.

Celebor nodded his agreement.
I wish it didn't have to be done, he thought back to Niyana, but I saw no other choice ... he is our own flesh and blood, we could not harm him ... but he cannot be allowed to hurt anyone again, not if we can help it. I hope Aras understands why we can't take her home yet ... and then yes, we have to make sure Ruque and Idhril and the others are all right ...
Aras giggled. "We'll see," she smiled, snuggling against him. "Maybe it will be okay. I hope it will be okay."

Rhea nods, "Then Rhea stays here." he said happily. And rested his head on Aras' lap again listening to the afternoon.
Niyana nods, It was really all we could do...we can't kill him and if we were to remove his manhood he might get more violent. She could see a small cliff coming up. She looked over it. "Up the cliff?"

Corrah nodded at Niyana's question.
"That is where they live," he affirmed, "but it appears that you will not have to climb to talk to Aras ... she and Rhea are waiting for us."
He could see them sitting at the edge of the cliff, looking out into the woods.
"Look! There they are!" Aras beamed, pointing to where she could see Corrah and her parents. She waved to them eagerly. "Up here!"
Celebor was impressed.
"Safe from animals and those who can't climb," he murmured. "Brilliant."

Niyana smiled and waved, "Oh wow you are really high...did you climb up there all by yourself?" She asked her daughter warmly. She turned to Corrah, "You are very good with your job sir."
Rhea lifted his head to look at Aras' parents..." even if they say no ...I shall reamin at your side as a pet at least." he whispered.

Aras giggled at her mother. "Well, Rhea helped," she beamed proudly. "Sometimes I can do it by myself though! Armus taught us good!"
She turned to Rhea, her eyes proud. "You're not a pet, you're a people," she told him matter of factly. "Mommy and Daddy can't say no, because I love you and they always say that they can't do nothing about love."
Celebor's eyes narrowed slightly as his elven ears caught part of Aras and Rhea's conversation. Had she just said what he thought she said? And if she had ... what would he do? He had just dealt with his son ... he couldn't think anymore ...
Corrah smiled grimly at Niyana. "It was not I who taught them to climb," he told her quietly; and he moved to speak to Armus in quick, hushed tones.

Niyana who's hearing was not nearly as good as her family smiled, "Is that so?" She said to Corrah and Aras. "Well then Aras you did a great job. Thank you for taking such good care of our kids too." She smiles, "I really appreciate it."
She moved closer to the cliff. "Do you have a nice little home up there too?" She asked. She felt her mate tense and turned to look at him. Is something wrong dear?
Rhea smiles and resists the urge to pounce and nuzzle Aras but sits there calmly, "Thank you Arrras....you are as wolf as i am too."
