Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ava nodded, disappearing for a while before returning with the items. "My... you look tense." he lamented. "You must've had a terrible day, my Ou."

Kaguyo shook her head, looking at him tenderly. "I like that you plan ahead." she whispered. "And I adore your subtlety... I wouldn't want you to lie to me." she sighed. "But I want to know that I'm desired from time to time, is all. Sometimes it's hard to tell if you're still interested in me."

"No, stay." Morrigan sighed deeply. "Kazuhiko's right. Stay. But honestly, Kit," she spoke, hand catching the woman's before she took off, "is there anything threatening about being a Hunter? Did Fir have reason to be worried? Answer me truthfully."

"I can't answer that," Kitaria said honestly. "That's what I've been trying to tell you. On my blood I swore to protect our secrets. Hunter information was not the only think Fir found out. I was well within my rights to kill him that day, especially since he is one of the three tribes. But I cannot give you details. So I swore and so I was trained. If I even began to tell you, my training would have me take my own life before you learned anything of value."

Kitaria sighed. "There would be a risk with any profession that child took because of who and what he is. If he had trained with me to be a bladedancer, martial arts, there would still be risks. I'm sorry. That is the best I can give you."

"Then I'm going to need considerable time before making my decision." the priestess answered with a sigh, releasing her wrist. "As a mother, I cannot knowingly send my child into danger that he may or may not be prepared to face. You, as a mother, should understand that." her voice hardened, but only slightly. It was simply to toss the fact back in her face. "It would be irresponsible of me to send him to his death."

Kaguyo beamed. "Well then there's nothing else left unsatisfied." she answered happily. "Arigatou gozaimasu, Su-kun... I'm glad you're so patient with me."

Ava rolled up his sleeves, beginning to massage his shoulders deeply. "My, my, Ou-sama, you have some terrible knots!" he lamented. "How does one allow themselves this sort of suffering?"
The man was an expert with muscles, carefully working the stress from each and every fiber. "Don't worry." he purred softly. "I promise your every need will be satisfied, my Ou. It is an honor to serve you so... I hope I please you."

"It's potientially even more dangerous to not have him trained," Kitaria said honestly. "His latent powers will come to fruit one way or another."

Aled smirked, "You are awfully forward for a servant." the Ou replied, but he did nothing to deter Avaon.
"Tell me, Ava... why do you wish to serve me so desperately, hmm?"

"It's Aled." Ainsu replied, knowing the cause. "You still don't know if you can hate him, do you?"

Ava blinked. "Are you kidding me??" he demanded of him, spinning the Ou around and looking him in the eyes. "You are the greatest Ou our people have ever known....! Who wouldn't want to distinguish themselves in your good graces?" he purred, kissing his neck. "I shall serve you better than anyone... meet your every need... Especially after what that woman did to you..." he shook his head. "I just... I needed to show you how desirable you are, Aled-sama."

Kaguyo froze, and sighed deeply, shaking her head. "No use hiding things from an empath." she whispered. "I suppose not."

"You really don't think?" Morrigan raised an eyebrow. "Fir's worried. Why aren't you?"

"Because I am trained not to be," Kitaria said. It wasn't intended to be a snobbish statement, just an honest fact. She really had had training in such things.
