"Ugh..how are you this stupid, Zane. You don't really mean that. You have Cetra blood in you, do you really think that's the right choice of words? Krul could take your life with that little 'harmless' bite you believe it would be. Or she could do worse, with your bloodline, I'm certain she would find a way to use that against you, and all of us. I've heard enough stories to know not to take her lightly, and you should not treat it like a joke. " She may of been wasting her breath, but it was an important matter, especially one he needed to understand! Layla sighed, he could literally be the most annoying man alive! "No, I didn't. I LET her win, that's a major difference. "
Finally came the moment of his 'defeat', and those words uttered from his mouth only caused her to narrow her eyes. "That doesn't sound very convincing. You are a terrible liar. " Rather he meant them or not, to her, it sounded to easy, and just to fake. Everything that came out of Zane's mouth tended to be fake, after all! ---and her instincts were exactly right, as his next move against Constantine, and her, proved that. He was going to regret that choice later, but for now.................she was kind of stuck......unable to move....The one magic forbidden to be used in duels or little spars. It was a dangerous risk to use with the constant threat of Reapers, and goodness knows what else looming. They loved to take those opportunities to strike, especially ones like Krul. Lucky for her, the presence of one very angry elf-princess returning in a fit of rage would probably make any Reaper think twice about showing up now! Of course, Neptune was following right behind her, as if she would just ignore the fact that she was suddenly very stressed over something.".....Of course.." She said quietly under her breath. Why was she not that surprised? Zane was a reckless one when it came to fighting, and could have his moments of taking things to far, which in this case it seemed he did. "Try not to over do it yourself, Solaris.." Knowing how defensive she was, especially when it came to protecting her family, she could certainly over do her own strength.
"HEY!! What the hell are you doing?! It's a training room, this is where you FIGHT! Are you stupid?! " Tina couldn't quite get to stopping her before she ended up possibly breaking Zane's forearm, and adding additional pain, while she wanted to help him, she also knew.........she was so far away from being a match for her...that she was actually very nervous herself to even yell at her, much less try to fight her. "What you did is more of a BULLY then him, no, it's more so a villain! You...are a villain! You hurt Zane...I'll--!! " ....She would...do nothing, it seemed, as she was so violently shoved out of her way, only to nearly stumble right into Neptune! Only Neptune was quick enough on her feet to side step out of the way, causing Tina to go flying past her and meeting the floor. She rolled her eyes, stepping away and slowly walking towards Zane.. "You should cool it next time. Next time, you won't get a healing from me. " In truth, both Zane and Solaris may of been over the top, still, the focus was mainly on the cause of this whole situation, that was Zane! Holding out the palm of her hand towards him, a golden light emitted from her hand, flowing gently into him, that broken bone, and any other injuries he received would both mend, and heal near instantly..

Constantine "...!" Right after Neptune healed Zane, he reached out towards the materia that clattered to the ground, grabbing it and immediately casting Stop on Solaris. He got to his feet, shoving Neptune away before she tried anything, and reaching towards his broken sword. "You think you can just humiliate-!" And suddenly, a blue sword sped towards his neck, coming to an instant stop mere inches away. The shock was enough to silence and freeze Zane, and a moment later, several more magical blue swords and spears appeared, encircling Zane's neck, and beginning to rotate around it rather threateningly. Constantine slid himself down to his feet, dusting himself off. "You are beginning to get on my nerves." He said, his eyes narrowed."...Tch..." Zane's eyes went down towards the materia in his hand."Go ahead. It won't stop my blades." Which were much too close to him for him to simply duck beneath them."...So what, you want me to believe you were just holding back, and that's why I won? That's stupid, I'm-""What you believe matters less to me than which 6,000 page book Minerva read last. If you intend to pursue this vendetta against my family, you'll encounter nothing except failure on your path." He raised his hand, and Zane's Time materia slipped from between his fingers, speeding into Constantine's hand. "You aren't as impressive as you seem to-" And the Stop spell timed out. "Solaris, don't-- he isn't worth-- oh boy."Turning aggressively, Solaris reached through Constantine's blades, which dismissed as she came into contact with them, grabbing Zane by the collar of his shirt and dragging him towards her. "What part of "don't ******** with my family" did you not-" Zane reared his arm back, delivering a punch to her face as strong as he could manage--turning her face slightly, but clearly dealing much less damage than he hoped. Solaris responded with a harsh punch of her own right back, sending him dazed down to the ground. Zane quickly kicked upwards, apparently forgetting who he was fighting as he kicked between her legs. Solaris just looked down, almost amused at the attempt--before raising her leg, and stomping very, VERY dangerously close to where he was just trying to target had his victim been male, with a stomp that had enough strength to break part of the tile beneath her heel."Whaa!" Zane quickly scooted back, complete terror overtaking his desire to save his wounded pride. "Sorry! Wait! Don't! I-I'm sorry! I won't do it again!""...You're pathetic." Solaris muttered, shaking her head as she stood up straight. "Guess Constantine's right, you're not worth it. But you know what'll happen if you target my family again." She warned, turning to leave the training room. "Come on Nep, and maybe next time don't heal the guy who's trying to fight me." Not that it really mattered, it was pretty obvious Zane wasn't a threat to her whatsoever.

 "What the.....are you serious..." She was so bewildered by Zane's crazy actions, it took a moment to really process what just happened! "....Did you really just do that.." At this point, she was talking to herself there, while Zane threw himself into battle again. What he didn't realize was just how incredibly angry Neptune was becoming, why, she may as well have literal steam coming off her head! "..You stupid idiot.." She muttered to herself, while Constantine and Solaris were having their fun with him, and it was fun, by the looks of it. It seemed that no matter what Zane tried to do against either sibling, it would fail, much like his brief lived time with Solaris, as she took his pride and put a good bit of fear in his irritating eyes. But that wasn't satisficing enough. Not after he just made her look like a fool. "..I wasn't treating him like a villain. It's only right I tend to our idiotic friends wounds...but now, i'm not feeling so kind.." While Zane was on the ground, he might notice his scooting didn't get him far but up against the wall. What was more terrifying then the fact that he had no where to go was the quickened pace Neptune advanced on him with, and before he could even TRY to get to his feet to maybe run away, she grabbed the collar of his shirt roughly, tightly enough to cause him discomfort around his neck before picking him right up off the ground, and slamming him hard against the back of the wall. There was a little hidden gem about Neptune here, that when triggered, she could become a terrifying enemy to have! And it showed, right now, in those deep purple eyes of hers as they bore into his own. With him held up against the wall still, he would feel the pain he had succeeded in avoiding with Solaris, as her knee went right towards a very sensitive zone! But, just as he might think she was going to strike him at full force, it was obvious how she held back..some. "If I don't hear a REAL APOLOGY, to everyone here, RIGHT NOW, you will lack the ability of children in your future...I don't want to hear your fake apologies. You will apologize, and you will MEAN IT! "

 ___ ___  _________   ___ ___ "I know I must place my duty as a commander above my life as a man. And once I am crowned, I most certainly will do exactly that.
However, I am not ready to divorce myself from my compassion just yet. I will find the balance somehow, the means to save my country and her people.
That is the king I wish to become, and so that is the man I must be." Shortly after returning from the Forest Kingdom for now, the Winter celebrations were in rather full swing, as everyone was running here or there through the decorated mansion. For one typically active king, however, it wasn't quite the time for him--he was rather sunk into a chair like a layabout, seeming rather exhausted."Y'know, you're usually one of the most active people, but you've been really exhausted for a bit. Everything all right?" Zack asked."...Yes, I just... I don't get exhausted easily, but a lot of activity will do that to me." Ephraim said, trailing off with a rather fond tone in his voice. How cryptic."Uh huh, you and Alisa were so exhausted, gee I wonder why." Carmen said sarcastically, causing Ephraim to give her a look. "...Hehe. You think you can hide anything from me?" She winked. "Anyway, aren't you supposed to be the Winter Envoy? You need to get up and get to it already!""The Winter Envoy delivers presents when people are asleep, and you're clearly still awake, as are most of the people in here. Besides... you seem rather comfortable yourself." He said, as Carmen sat leaned back, arms out, and Unisha forced to sit in her lap like a good submissive girl."And I'll continue looking comfortable too. I want everyone to see the esteemed Princess of Serenity meekly seated on my lap, heehee... don't you want that too, darling?" She asked, and from what Unisha was feeling, she'd really feel like doing what Carmen told her to do would be in her best interest! (( OOC: ))

 "This world sure isn't all sunshine and rainbows, but there are people who have taught me to never give up.
They've been guiding me, and showing me all the beautiful things in the world.
I love them, and I love what they love.
We're connected by this sword. It will burn up the darkness, to make way for light!
This will be... our path...
BACK HOME!" "I don't know most of you that well, but you really know how to throw a party!" Kiana said exuberantly, her hands on her hips. "I'll have to thank Phoenix for the invitation. Though I guess I could've come with you anyway, huh?""...Yes." Bronya responded, seeming somewhat uncomfortable. "I've been at the front for years, it feels weird to be away. Forced vacation... how perturbing.""Well, I think you've earned it. Relax. Working all the time is going to cause more issues long-term.""How very like you to preach the benefits of lazing about, Kiana... but you're not wrong. It's just difficult. Still, thank you. If not for your help at the front, we would've had an overrun kingdom instead of a chance to relax.""Eheheh... It was nothing, you know. As if I wouldn't help you! And the vacation is nice. It would be even more nice with..." She blinked, her eyes wandering away for a moment. "...M-Mei-senpai?!""...Who?" Orpheus asked, a blank expression as she faced the woman."...Ah, uh, sorry! You just... look like a... friend of mine." She said awkwardly. "...This world's really weird." That wasn't the first time that had happened. "Oh, I know what'll help! I'll go help out with the cooking! Once the food's ready, it'll help you relax!" She said, turning and hurrying towards the kitchen."I will NOT be able to relax if YOU'RE in the kitchen. Kiana idiotka! Out of the kitchen!!""You worry too much, it'll be fine! I'm great at this now!""We don't need much more help in here." Constantine told him, as he, Layla, and a few of the other girls were working on preparing the food.All the chatter and energy of the room came to a sudden halt, as if preceding the arrival of a suffocating presence. And lo and behold, a moment later, a shroud of violet darkness brought along the arrival of someone who wasn't exactly the most welcome. "...How nice to see you all again." Nyx said, smirking."Ah!!" Zane practically shrieked, quickly cowering behind Kiana. How manly. Not that it didn't make sense--she was probably the most powerful person in the room. "A-are you gonna try to e-enslave us again?!""Don't sound too excited at that idea, Zane... But no, unlucky for all of you, I'm not here to Dominate you again. I'm merely here at the request of my lovely wife, heehee... pay me no mind.""Wife...?" Carmen focused on Nyx's presence, and as if following an invisible tether, her head slowly turned towards Hiyori. "...How did I not notice that? ...Oh, it's... Chaos Magic." Not exactly a traditional marriage spell. She was impressed Nyx managed to... jailbreak such a sacred ritual with Chaos Magic."Paying you no mind isn't really gonna cut it after last time. Even if you aren't going to attack us, how are we supposed to take our mind of your presence here?" Cloud asked, as even the ones in the kitchen had come out to see what caused that suffocating feeling."...Okay then. You want something else to focus on?" Her dominant smirk only widened. That couldn't be good... "Cloud, you see Layla there? Doesn't she look familiar? She's your daughter from the future. Javik is her brother, and the lonely one, Tina, is her sister. You can probably figure the rest out yourself.""...What... but... that's... she looks like Tifa...""Mm, yes, real head-scratcher. We'll see if you can figure out how to get to 4 with two 2s. And Zack? Aerith? Zane and Ariel, those are your children.""Our... huh?" He had made some jokes about their similarities before, but this was quite a shock to hear."Hana, that girl with purple hair, Neptune--ask to see her angel wings, and it should be obvious who she's descended from. Phoenix, that moody girl with the hat, horns, and tail, Aria--maybe ask her about her parents. Ephraim, Alisa... do I really need to explain Solaris?""Uh-!""She looks like Alisa and acts like Ephraim--how much more obvious could it be? And all her siblings--Constantine, Alice, Reiner, Marie, all of them--I guess they must belong to you too, huh?""...Is that so...""You're no fun, you've already considered that so I don't even get to see you shocked! Speaking of which... mother." Her eyes came towards Carmen, with the pretty pink unicorn princess on her lap. "Isn't there something you've been hiding from mother? Should I tell her?""...Well, I guess there's no reason not to say it now." She sighed. "Nyx is ours, Unisha. And so is Minerva, Autumn, Aiko... they're all the echoes of children we'll have in the future, manifested here.""Carmen knew who they all belonged to the moment she saw them. She's rather good at keeping secrets.""It wasn't exactly my place to go around telling everybody, just like it wasn't yours.""Not your place... as if that's ever stopped you before--and it's certainly never stopped me. There. Now you all have something else to focus on. Really, keeping secrets is stressful, so you're all welcome for helping you bring the truth to light. You can all thank me later. Happy holidays~" She winked, before turning and moving out of the middle of the room. It was rather amusing, given that everyone was deathly terrified of Nyx, so even if they might be very angry about what she had done, it was very unlikely any of them would challenge her! And, of course, she did leave Hiyori's name out of things. Lucky for her, being married to everyone's nightmare gave her luxuries the others didn't get! (( OOC: ))

Layla turned to take a quick glance at the newest members of Avalanche, a curious look on her face. "Is something wrong? Will she blow the kitchen up? " By the reaction of the shorter silver-haired girl, it sure sounded like there would be some form of destruction with her attempting to cook! "I'm almost curious enough to want to see this.." She said with an amused smile. How bad could one be in the kitchen??
But before much else could happen, Layla's curiosity would have to be put on hold as the uncomfortable presence filed the area, possibly the entire mansion. Being the curious person that she was, she set down the plate she was placing some fresh-made treats onto, to take a look at what was going on in the living room where everyone had gathered. A sigh escaped her with a shake of her head, and it wasn't due to the presence of Nyx, but the reaction of Zane! Maybe she was just to trusting, Ariel's own reaction wasn't so extreme was her scared brothers. She really barely seemed scared at all! Instead, she came up from behind Zane, and grabbed him from behind suddenly! "Enslaved! " She would either terrify him to death, or make him angry. What would it be! "Wait....." Regardless of his reaction, as she came to realize what exactly Nyx said, t seemed her slightly slow brain connected. "Huh? You got married? " She seemed a bit young, and after all, it was Nyx, the one people feared so much, yet she was married!? "...To who? " She couldn't quite figure the rest out herself!
"Hee,hee.." Hiyori's obvious little giggle, and nervous gesture as she rubbed the back of her neck while completely beaming was obvious enough for even the slowest person in the room to figure out! "To the smartest person in this room.." She grinned, lowering her hand. Ariel's reaction was priceless, as was the other completely shocked expressions around the room, all but for one, who looked irritated. Who could that be! Tina, meanwhile..As if her irritated look couldn't be any more extreme, as Nyx decided the best way to take their minds off her presence would be to spill everyone's secret, it was the way she did it, specifically for Tina here, that REALLY got her raged! "Shut up! I'm NOT LONELY! YOU'RE the lonely one! That's why you married my annoying sister, you were so desperate, so patheticly lonely...you put some kind of spell to make her fall for you and --" "Idiot...There may of been magic involved, but if it wasn't for that magic I wouldn't be standing here right now! Nyx saved my life, and it wasn't some magical spell to control me or my feelings. I love her, and that's MY feelings..I..Love..Her! So maybe instead of judging her, and continuing this ridiculous hate and fear of her, maybe you should try to thank her instead! --That goes for everyone here, it really bothers me that everyone so quickly judges her as an enemy. She isn't one, so stop the mistrust. " Sure, they had a right to be weary of her after what she did to them, but that was then, and this was now! They needed to learn the truth, at least some truth, and that was that she wasn't their enemy.
The drama was thick in the room, but it didn't escape her exactly what Nyx had said. And, unlike Cloud, she was pretty bright, and quickly put it together. As if Layla wasn't so obvious now, she had always wondered about her, but never in her wildest dreams did she think THAT was possible. There were people in the world who looked similar to others, she had assumed that she just...looked similar. The reddening on Tifa's face was only getting more intense the more she thought about it, the more she repeated Nyx's words in her head...It seemed Hiyori's love-life would be put on hold as her mind dealt with one thing at a time! "The future...I have...children..with Cloud.....!! " She thought in her mind, any Serenitian in the room would likely hear her not so secret thoughts!
"....? " Aerith blinked, her emerald green eyes glancing from Zane, to Ariel... Her own cheeks becoming quite red! "Since the moment we met them, I always thought they looked like us. I could feel something familiar around them, but never could understand it! " "Um...Hee,hee...Hello..! Mom! Dad! " Ariel didn't seem to mind the reveal, in fact, she seemed SO happy. It was KILLING her keeping this secret, and really, she just wanted them to know so that they could all be a family again. And then there was Hana, as she was called. The look on her face showed how shocked she was to even be in this conversation, clearly she didn't expect any kind of happy future for herself. She wasn't exactly in a relationship with...anyone, though there was one in particular she had feelings for, for a very, very long time.. ".....? " She slowly looked towards Neptune, who began to slink her way backwards, towards the kitchen! "..H-hey! Wait..let me see your----" And she was gone, escaping into the kitchen past the door.
"...What? ....uh. Clearly not me.." That moody side, that red hair, gee, wasn't really that hard to place. Aria responded with a soft hmph, and a cross of her arms as she leaned so uninterestedly against the wall! "Ah-haha...." Of course, Alisa would begin with a little laughter, while she didn't know it was such a possibility, future kids showing up was pretty extreme of a thought, but there was Reiner, who really got her brain working extra hard to figure things out, or at least consider it! "I think we both considered the possibility. Thanks to our adorable son here, Reiner. Oh, what a day this is turning out to be. Quite a Christmas gift, isn't it, Ephraim?! We have so many kids...heh..! " As if THAT wasn't something to expect! "This is the best day ever!" She went right over, grabbing her first victim, Reiner, into a giant beat hug, and with Solaris being just close enough to reach, she reached right over, pulling her into the hug too! And then, there was Unisha, who was sitting so comfortably on Carmen's lap. The first thing she took note of, or became rather curious of, was how she addressed Carmen. Her eyes were fully set on her, and calling HER mother. Her curiosity wouldn't have to stand long, as the shocking..happy news would explained. "..Oh..! " Unisha's face reddened, those curious eyes looking from Nyx, to Minerva, and Autumn, Aiko slipped out with Neptune, saving herself from the terror of hugs she would most likely receive had she stayed! "Alisa is right....this is the best Christmas I've ever had! " She smiled brightly, maybe she too, had considered this possibility? For such a quick reaction, to be so happy, it had to be in her mind even while not realizing it. "...Nyx and Minerva are both so incredibly skilled in magic, just like you..! Autumn..! ..A little more study and you could be up there too! " "..............I'm just as good as them, hmph! " Autumn crossed her arms, looking away! "...See? If not for Nyx, there wouldn't be this much happiness all at once. I would say she just gave everyone their best Christmas ever! " Hiyori said, as she went to stand beside her wife!

Constantine Right about as Nyx began to explain the relatively well-kept secret, Constantine would take Layla by the hand, quickly pulling her into the kitchen and towards one of the side entrances. Before exiting, he turned towards her. "I'm not exactly the kind of person who enjoys most types of physical contact. I dislike physical intimacy from most people... though, you'd be one exception. ...My mother isn't the same, though, and I'm not exactly in the mood to be hugged and patted on the head. So I'm going to go out for a bit. It's your choice if you'd like to accompany me." Reiner and Solaris liked hugging and all that plenty, and obviously Marie did. But it often just made Constantine uncomfortable. Clearly he took after his father in some ways after all."...So it would seem..." Ephraim responded--and while he was happy to learn it, he was also a little shocked by... the amount! ...Though, perhaps he shouldn't be, all things considered. And it wasn't a bad kind of shocked at any rate."...Ahaha... yes, yes, we all love each other so much..." Solaris wasn't the type to shy away from hugs typically, but she felt a little awkward here. Maybe because she had been trying to hide the truth for so long. Though now she felt foolish for thinking her mother could ever be put off by her existence. Of course, this was Alisa. She was the best mother ever. "H-hey, look, you can hug my dear little sister Alice!" She said, grabbing Alice by the wrist and pulling her over to take her place in the hug, as she slipped away quickly!
...Only to walk straight into the kitchen, grab Neptune, and lift her rather suddenly. "Oh, no you don't. If I have to deal with this, so do you!" She said, walking back into the living area carrying Neptune as if she were a bag of literal air with how effortless it was. "I'll put you in some nice bondage if that's what it takes to keep you still." She whispered into her ear, deciding to get her back a little for all the teasing and flirting Neptune just so loved! Placing her down on her feet in front of Hana, Solaris put her hands on Neptune's shoulders, as if keeping them there to keep her locked firmly in place! "Hello, miss Hana... This girl has wanted to talk to you this whole time, don't let her shyness fool you... even though she's the opposite of shy with me..." She said that last part more to herself."...Well, I'm glad we're all being honest with each other again!" Reiner said, returning the hug rather happily. "Sorry for lying, though I kind of figured you might figure it out... you're both too smart to fool for long! Especially father! ...Er, no offense, mother. You're really smart too!" He paused a moment. "These aren't even all our siblings..." He said with a small laugh, as if reacting to their surprise at how many there were! Alisa had always wanted a big family, hadn't she? And it certainly seemed like Ephraim had no complaints in having one with her. Even if it was a little overwhelming to learn this way! "Excuse me a moment!" He slipped away, moving... SO sneakily over towards Aria, before leaning against the wall near her. He started to cross his arms, then awkwardly let them fall, then awkwardly started to cross them again, then awkwardly leaned them against the wall. ...Then awkwardly crossed them. "...Oh, hey, Aria, fancy meeting you here, haha...!" Could he be any less conspicuous if he tried? "You know, you look really cute when you're all moody like this..." He said a bit quieter so only she could hear. That hmph in particular he just so loved! "You should talk to your mother, though...! Right? I mean, haven't you wanted to talk to her? ...I mean, it's your choice. Okay, I'll stop bothering you now. Love you...!" He whispered, keeping their SUPER well-kept secret romance super DUPER well-kept as he so slyly stepped off the wall and walked back towards his family. No one was any the wiser!"..." It was probably lucky for Reiner so few would be watching him with how distracted everyone was, but nothing escaped Minerva's attention, it seemed, as she shook her head, her perpetually disappointed gaze almost seeming even more so. 'Idiot." She muttered, before turning towards Hiyori. "...I always wondered who you were married to, but I never guessed this. It seems the marriage allows you to be spared from her dreadful aura.""Or maybe she's simply too strong-minded... or so in love with me she can't feel negative emotions in my presence, hee-hee..."'...It's probably the marriage." Minerva responded flatly. "People who get too close to Nyx tend to become filled with a terrible sense of dread, to the point of becoming frozen in fear, in horror. I can protect myself from it, but few others can... I don't know if you should consider yourself lucky for gaining so much focus from my sister, but I guess it's better she loves you than hates you." Gods help any poor fool who earns her hatred. She was terrifying enough to people she actually liked!

It was quite the blessing that Constantine seemed to have the exact same idea as she had, to escape before they were tackled in hugs they weren't completely interested in! So, when he took her by the hand and lead her out of the doomed site, she was more then happy to go. "Oh, believe me. I didn't want to be caught up in that myself..I'm so glad we both had the same idea.." And it was really a big plus that it was Constantine she was getting to escape with! "Of course I will come with you! ....Though...can I ask you something? ..What makes me the one exception? " She may of sounded..a little to happy about that! She was definitely her mother.
"Phew...Thank god, I managed to escAH! " Well, that was a new and interesting word! Neptune, with her back to the door and about to make her way out the same way the other two escaped from, completely oblivious to the stalker behind her that would suddenly just..grab and lift her out of no where! "What.........!? " Her face was starting to turn rather red, out of the embarrassment of the entire little moment she found herself in! It wasn't like her to be so easily kidnapped! "Hey! Put me down you! " Even with all the struggles in the world, she wasn't getting out of that obnormally strong grip Solaris had on her! "Ehh?! " That little...whisper brought out a much deeper blush, gosh, today was certainly one of those rare days for her. Neptune wasn't typically easy to make blush, and yet she did it in two very interesting, and rather...exciting ways. "Y-You just opened yourself up for more teasing.." She said right back to her, though rather then a whisper, she would hear that in her mind as they were getting to close to the others to keep whispers very quiet! And she made sure that message only went to her mind! As Solaris finally set her down to her feet, the awkwardness surrounding the purple-haired Angel was almost TO obvious, like a looming cloud over both Neptune and Hana. ".........Hello........" What a greeting! "She's not ready for this information...it's to early...Look around, Solaris...She and my mother aren't together yet.." It wasn't to hard to see, once she started to look. There was obviously no closeness between her two parents. "Just ignore everything you heard, hahaha....It's...just...nothing..! Okaybyenow.." If Solaris could see what she was trying to tell her, she might have enough sense to release her, and let her escape the awkward situation! She didn't really want to risk actually destroying their relationship, when they weren't even together yet!
"...I'm so confused.." Hana said softly, blinking. She really was horribly confused, and even with all the secrets spilled of the others, it didn't quite cross her mind the connection Neptune there had with her, because, as she herself was so worried about, it was true. She wasn't with anyone, did she have someone she had eyes for for years, yes, yes she did! .But it was hard to imagine such a thing when she always felt she would be alone. "I think...I'll go get some air. I'm sorry! It was nice meeting you both!!" Hana could feel the awkwardness building up, and see how uncomfortable Neptune was becoming, so to help her out, and her own confused state, she would escape the situation by making a quick and sudden exit towards the door!
Meanwhile, oblivious to everyone else, mostly, Alisa was far to in the glory of her many, many cute children of the future to notice anything else going on around her. Alice would just get released from her bear-hug, as Reiner did, but that big smile remained on the ridiculously happy elf-princess's face. "Ah, don't worry. It's understandable now. Did you think it might hurt how the future turned out? That's why you all hid it? ...As if! I can't speak for everyone, but I'd like to think everyone else is happy too! So no more worries, and no more secrets! " And no more secrets it was, as Reiner went on ahead to tell them they weren't the only ones. "Ohh?! Ah-haha...What a big family. I'm so happy! " She certainly wasn't scared at that thought!
"......." Aria's mostly cold crimson eyes lifted a bit, so she was now looking at the awkward Reiner having some interesting moments trying to look cool. He could only dream of being as cool as her, while leaning against that wall! "....It is an unfortunately small........area.." She said in response to his greeting. "Not a lot of places to hide.." As if, it was a mansion, there was plenty of places to hide! She just didn't, because..he..was here. As if she REALLY wanted to avoid him! At least one thing was for sure, she was much better at pretending she didn't care about him, then he was about her! It wasn't until his little compliment, though, that she reached up quickly, pulling down her hat so it was half covering her face, in order to hide the faint blush at her pale cheeks..."No..i'm fine here.." She managed to say back to him in a quieter tone, she was the least person in this room to want to go talking to her parent! "...L-love...you too.." He would hear her words, very carefully, in his mind.
Then there was Hiyori, who gave Minerva a small, playful grin. "Surprised? Hee-he, sister-in-law! " She seemed rather happy about that. "Mmhm, I figured that out a while ago. In fact, I've been attempting to create a gadget that might suppress some of that energy that others feel. I'm not comfortable with everyone being so terrified of her, it's not right, and honestly, it annoys me! It gives everyone a bad idea and leaves them believing she's some kind of evil person. I don't like it.." Maybe it didn't bother Nyx, but it did her! She had to retrain herself from yelling at SO MANY people for constantly misjudging her..........due to that aura of dread they couldn't avoid.

"Ohh, she's right..What a gloomy aura!" Came the pink haired princess's voice, directly behind Nyx! While they were SO busy talking, Unisha just so casually made her way towards her, not exactly sneaking, just. Quietly heading towards her. She was on a small mission, that might turn out into a major mission, depending on the resistance she received! And as expected of the silly Serenitian princess, rather then being completely taken by fear as most others that got close to Nyx, she was quick to wrap her arms around her oh-so-loving, SWEET daughter into a hug. "Revenge, for back at the island. You-Will-Be-Hugged!!" That was really the worst kind of revenge anyone could get. The great Unisha-Hug-of-DOOM. Interestingly enough, had anyone actually taken notice to the small pink dot at the center of her forehead, similar to Minerva's, only it was only visible when needed, unlike hers that was always very obvious. It began to glow faintly, and a transparent, prism of colors in the form of a horn appeared there. It would become much more obvious when a darker energy seemed to be absorbed into the horn, that was the negative energy from Nyx's aura, and for a brief moment, anyone that got near Nyx in the room wouldn't feel the presence of dread for the moment Unisha remained close to her. It obviously would not last, but it certainly seemed Unisha's holy power triggered to protect her from it. It would not take it away forever, as unfortunate as that was.
Had all that worked out for her, she would release her after a long, and tortureous moment, before taking a small step away. Still close enough that the aura would not return yet. "I hope that when you are comfortable, you will all tell us about your lives? ...And you, especially, Nyx. I'd like to know what happened to you. Why this negative energy is with you..and if there is anything we can do to help. " She glanced from Nyx, to Minerva. "Maybe not now, but will you both talk to us sometime soon? I just want to know that you've all been happy..and that everything is okay? " She could guess it wasn't completely okay, with either of the two. Nyx had obvious troubles with strange dark energy, and Minerva just seemed very stressed most of the time. She may of been a bit of a ditz sometimes, and often times quite the silly princess. But she was a good mother who loved her children, and would do anything to make sure they were happy and safe...

Nyx"Besides begging for mercy, you have no other way out. Forgiveness... is expensive.
Freedom is the precious air on the mountaintop. Not meant for the weak.
Empty your mind, stop thinking, and submit to me. That's your only value." "That's close enough, I'm afraid." Nyx said, and Unisha would feel if she tried to get closer for the hug she wanted, she'd be held back by invisible threads restraining her. They wouldn't stay attached to her, but any time she tried to get closer to Nyx, they would pull her back again. "I like my personal space, and I like keeping the aura in that space so nobody will invade it." Nyx tilted her head, her usual expression still adorning her features as ever. "I'm not here to catch up with family or regale you with my tragic backstory. Nothing "happened" to me. This is who I am."Minerva let out a soft sigh, her expression also the same as always as she crossed her arms below her chest. "She's not lying, I'm afraid. Her being is created from Chaos Magic--it flows in her veins, literally. Just as Celestial Magic flows through mine. We two are twins, and each of us is composed almost entirely of opposing magic. The most powerful and dangerous form of magic is Chaos Magic, while magic's most revered and pure form is Celestial Magic. Few Serenitians can tap into either, yet we're made of them. And for most, even trying to tap into Chaos Magic tends to lead to disaster. Not that I need to tell you that, mother. There is one person you know who can utilize both." Minerva said, glancing at their other mother, still seated."It's inevitable my children would turn out so powerful, of course. But-" She grunted, glancing to the side. "What... the..."Well, she knows we're here now.Already? How do you notice these things so quickly?I'm just that good... Ignore us for now, me.What, she can hear us right now?She can, so don't say anything embarrassing. Like... Oh, Alisa, please put me in your bondage, I'm so desperately-!!Can you take this seriously?!"...Hmm." Carmen shook her head. That couldn't be good news. She supposed she would just have to take her own word for it, for now. Though she couldn't shield her own presence from herself, she could shield her memories, so she wouldn't be able to tell what specifically it was."...Is something the-?" Minerva blinked, glancing to the side in the same direction as her mother, and a moment later, Nyx did as well."...Mm, curious." Nyx muttered to herself."..." Well, Carmen could hide her presence from everyone else, but not from these three. "A-anyway... Nyx IS Chaos Magic. To try to separate her from that would destroy her. We've had this conversation when we were younger, back when Nyx actually stayed with us. But Chaos Magic is dangerous, and a being composed of it is even more so. Many wanted her executed..." She supposed they were lucky they were raised in the Central Kingdom, not the Forest Kingdom. "We don't know any way to-""Wait, you two are twins?" Reiner, the smartest person in the room, clearly, asked. "Then why are you so much shorter than Nyx?""........." Minerva's disappointed look melted quickly into a rather enraged glare. "Excuse me?! I--am close to a growth spurt, that's all-""Oh, 19 year olds can get growth spurts?""I don't need to listen to this from YOU, the man whose intelligence is much smaller than my height, who almost got our identities exposed numerous times! I am the Crown Princess of Serenity, and you will treat me with the respect I deserve! And another thing!!" And here came Reiner being once again chewed out by Minerva, and admittedly, he did deserve it... even though he didn't mean any offense. Everyone knew not to talk about Minerva's height, or she would turn even more terrifying than Nyx!
"...And you remember that! I hope you've learned your lesson!!" Five minutes later, a broken and defeated Reiner had crumbled to his hands and knees before the incredibly short yet domineering woman, who cast her irate glare down at him."Y-yes, Minerva, I understand. I'm sorry! I won't do it again!!" Poor Reiner, and poor anyone who made the catastrophic mistake of factually pointing out she was very short.(( OOC: ))

"Is there something wrong with a hug from your mother? ..Oh, it's because you don't know us well enough yet...is that right? " Well, they didn't. She just didn't think it was very awkward herself, Unisha...was just very affectionate, and the news of having these many daughters with Carmen just made her so happy! It wasn't easy to just.........ignore them. But maybe she should respect their space, for now. "..Alright.." The disappointment in her voice was SO obvious! Silly Unisha. Turning to Minerva as she began to speak, her explanation only left her more puzzled, and worried. She had to wonder if they had a happy life growing up, it really bothered her to think any of her children were unhappy growing up, or what troubles they had. By Minerva's explanation, between both the Chaos magic and Celestial magic, it had to bring many difficulties.."...And this doesn't hurt you? Either of you? ..I don't know how to feel about this. I'm happy you both are so ..powerful, and able to control this power you have, yet it also makes me worry.." She didn't really need to explain why she was worried, it was almost obvious. While Krul was mostly..a joke, as of late, there were still SOME times she got the upper hand, and that would always make her worry for the safety of her children, which would become targets of likely every Reaper besides Krul. Who wouldn't want their power, especially Chaos magic?
"What?! ...Executed..Who?! " Unisha wasn't typically one to show such anger, but when it came to friends, or family being threatened, there was no holding back, she could be VERY serious in the right situation!
"..I want to know that too..I can come up with a extra fun way to get back at them. They'll think twice before opening up their mouths ever again! " For a human girl, given the right sources, Hiyori could be just as terrifying when she wanted to be. Tartaglia learned that too!
"Don't take it that way, Minerva! " Ariel stepped in, to stand beside the...broken down, defeated and quite sad looking Reiner. "He doesn't mean that in a bad way, you know that. Reiner would never hurt anyone's feelings! Why don't you think of it as a great thing, rather then let it bother you so much? Doesn't it just make you more like your mother there? She's not bothered by her height, so you shouldn't be either. " She continued on after a moment. "I think it's cute! To be so closely like your mother, it's really, really cute. And you're really powerful like her. There's nothing to feel ashamed about! " She really was trying to be sincere with her!

  Corrin, meanwhile, was rather enjoying herself watching the silliness between everyone. It all just showed just how close the families were with each other, this experience of learning about all these future kids was something, but it was something very special! "You all are very close, aren't you? " She asked with a amused smile. That display with Reiner, it was..just play, right? Of course, as if her son would collapse in defeat at such a silly thing! They were so obviously just playing!
"....Hey...So..! uh...." Miya would step into the craziness, looking at the girls with curious eyes. "..What about me?! ....What's my future like? Come on, tell me! Do I get with anyone special? ...Wait, no.....maybe I don't want to know.....? .....No, no..I do! Ah, but then...if it doesn't happen, ahhh!! I want to know, but i'm also afraid to know! " What a struggle! The worst! The silence coming from the knowing future kids around them was a little bothersome, on the other hand. "Why so silent?! I know you know! ...Wait! Do I die? THAT'S IT! That's why you aren't saying anything, isn't it?! " Her imagination had no limits!

_____________________"I know I must place my duty as a commander above my life as a man. And once I am crowned, I most certainly will do exactly that.
However, I am not ready to divorce myself from my compassion just yet. I will find the balance somehow, the means to save my country and her people.
That is the king I wish to become, and so that is the man I must be." "II suppose it's to be expected our children seem so social, isn't it? You seem to get along with everyone--they clearly take after you." Ephraim said, smiling as he watched the little display, alongside the... apparent mother of his children. Such a strange concept, yet with Alisa... Well, it felt right to him, in a way. He turned towards her as he sat alongside her, reaching up to turn her face towards him, and leaning in to give her a soft kiss on the lips--rather surprising for him to take the initiative with casual intimacy! Maybe she was rubbing off of him, which how much she LOVED it. "This is all rather overwhelming... but I'm happy, too. It's hard to imagine what the future holds, especially being from different worlds as we are. But whatever comes, we'll face it together. I don't think I'd have an easy time getting rid of you anyhow." He lightly joked, quietly enough that their conversation could be private. Especially with everyone's attention very much on everything else going on! "I suppose I'll have to get used to you touching my face, if we have this long future ahead of us." She so loved doing that, and it was admittedly a rather cute quirk--as much as it flustered him!(( OOC: ))
