Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aruna led the two stallions--one, her love interest, the other, her brother--into a clearing just beyond the area where part of her family met ways. She soon stopped just at the edge of the small pond that rippled from time to time with fish or insects. "Rahu, Bairn, I've led you hear for privacy..." She took a breath, "...And, I would like to discuss the matter of... our emotions. My emotions, and Rahu's." She really hoped Rahu would say something, because this was where she would begin her healing. After she had confessed--twice, at that--it was time, she figured, that Rahu be told that she was not going to ever love him again, in that way. From now on, she decided, he was merely a friend. Possibly an aquaitance...

Hania said nothing, just listened to his mate. That is, until Hiri said something about Rahu and Aruna. "What!?" he exclaimed, aghast. "That stallion was the one that made Aruna cry! How dare he! Why, I ought to...!" He was furious. No one made his daughter cry and got away with it! "Not even Bairn knows Aruna cried! She told me, but I could do nothing since she never told me who the Soquili was that made her cry." Hania nuzzled his mate to try and calm down. He was sorrowful that he could do nothing for any of his offspring. "It's a pity Artemis is unable to meet us, but I suppose it can't be helped." He sighed. "I suppose if you like Rahu, and my son likes him, I'll give him a chance. Just this once, however."

Bairn nodded slowly, looking from Aruna to Rahu still curious as to what is going on. Whatever was going to happen in the next few moments, the stallion knew he wouldn't like it. "Alright my love, go right ahead." He told his sister softly, glaring at Rahu. All this emotional stuff she was going through was probably his fault, and to think that Bairn actually approved of him.

"Shh, my love, shhh." Mahiri smiled warmly, still trying to comfort Hania. "Don't worry...shhh." The whole scene made her giggle, everyone seemed to be overreacting. This wasn't a big deal in her oppinion, the fox mare always had an optomistic look on things, whatever Aruna's deal was, it was bound to get better. Nuzzling her mate back, she giggled again. "Yes, give the poor stallion a chance. That's what he needs." Suddently Mahiri felt as though she needed to have a private one-on-one chat with Rahu.

Rahu knew Barin hated him now and could feel him glaring but thats not what hurt him inside. not even looking at Aruna he listened to her and gave a nodded. " if that is your decesion then fine. i have no right to stop you and so i wont." still not looking at her and actual looking at the ground. to think he was actualy concedering saying what he wanted to say to her. he's face somewhat showed his emotion, he then gave a sigh, whating to be told to leave or just leave. though wanting to, he stayed there waiting for Bairn to speak his mind and for Aruna to be done too.

"Yes... I..." She was having trouble looking either in the eye. "Thank you, my dear brother." When had she just... become this way? Whoever said love makes you do crazy things was right... She felt guilty for laying all of this out suddenly, but she just... couldn't do it anymore. She had to move on. She didn't think she could wait for forever--she wasn't completely patient, after all; quite the opposite, sometimes--and Rahu didn't seem the sort to be patient, either. She knew better, now; she had been so... naive, more so than she had thought before. Why? She could only ask that one question, with unknown and many answers. That was all she could do. She held her breath a little as she waited for Rahu to say something. "...Rahu... please... say something..." she whispered, nearly berathlessly.

Hania smiled just as he suddenly felt a twinge. "Hm?" He frowned, eyes narrowed in thought as he tried to figure out what was bugging him. He had a father's instinct, but something was buzzing in the back of his mind that something had gone awry. "Hiri... I have a feeling I won't be after Rahu. Something's wrong... but it's right, too. I don't understand it myself, but I just have this feeling..." Brushing off the thought, he only returned to nuzzling his mate. "More children, do you think?" he suddenly asked, eyes twinkling. "And maybe this time they'll be more like us?" He laughed, and quirked an ear in question. "What do you think, Hiri? Or are our current children enough?" Hania didn't mind at all if he had more children--hey, he'd have a bigger family!--and this time, he hoped, the entire family could get together... and maybe he could start a herd...

Bairn continued to glare at Rahu as the three of them stood there, he suddently had mixed feelings for this stallion. He seemed rather nice at first, but Rahu just wasn't what Bairn expected after listening to both Aruna and him speak. Sighing, he stole at glance at his sister and tried to smile. "I'll always be there for you, my dear sister. Don't you worry. Father, Mother, Artemis and me." Turning back to glare at Rahu, the stallion wore a emotionless face. "If you care, you wouldn't do this." He said softly to Rahu, waiting for either of them to speak.

Mahiri titled her head at her mate's sudden awkwardedness. "What's wrong?" She asked softly, nuzzling him again. Whatever feeling he had, she didn't because nothing bothered her terribly, so this was rather confusing. Giggling at his next words, the fox mare nodded quickly. "Oh yes. I do hope our next children do act more like us, it's a shame about Bairn, Aruna and Artemis, but they're their own selves I guess." Mahiri giggled at Hania again and nipped him playfully. "More children sounds wonderful in the future yes..."

Rahu sighed and did not bother to say a thing back at Bairn. he looked at Aruna for a moment and gave a slight snort. " i better go myself, i rather not stick around here no more. and Aruna if thats what you want, then fine. though maybe things would have been different if i was not the way i was." not bothereing to look at Bairn, whom he knew hated him. he walked off the way he had came, trying now to figure himself out and how this all happned.

((Here ends the RP between Bairn, Rahu, and Aruna. However, Hania and Mahiri will be a continuing RP. XD I haven't RP'd my boy in forever, dammit! XD))

Hania chuckled as he increased his speed. "Of course I have to ask, Hiri!" he called back to his mate. "I've gotten a lot better while I've been gone! I'll prove it to you!" He had missed hanging out with his mate... "Besides, I usually let you win! It's time I won at least ONE game!"
