Welcome to Gaia! ::

Elliot could feel the chill set into the water, making him try to keep Leo warm, however the other pulled away and Elliot desperately wished she would lean against him again. "Yes, we should get out." And stepped out, grabbing a towel and holding it out for Lily, wrapping it around the lithe frame. "I feel we should rest before heading to the library. Let your mind clear." And kissed her head.

(( Wee oo Wee oo Timeskip oo))

Elliot had gone to sleep a few hours later, talking to the guards, Henry and Ipo, before retiring back to his room. He didn't bother, having walked around in his night clothes improperly. Henry pulled his ear for it as though he was a child. But he slid into the bed, holding Leo close and fell asleep.

Elliot had the oddest feeling of someone watching him. He got it quite often when back home with his sisters. He thought it was just in his head but he opened his eyes and brown eyes were staring back. "Dear Gods!" He shouted. "Ipo!" he grabbed the hare's ears recieving a startled cry. "You do not stare at one when they sleep! Especially to wake them up!"

"Well it always seemed to work! From what I hear the girls always did it to you! I figured you might be missing home!"

"I ought to rip these off!"

"Oh Lily help me!" Ipo cried, clawing at the bedsheets before stopping ."Why does he sleep naked?!"

"Because he was too tired after his bath!" Elliot exclaimed back before his own ears were pulled, making him growl. "You let go, Ipo."

"You let go first!"

Ipo caught the movement. "Prince Elliot you're scaring your lover!"

Elliot let go and tried to turn, Ipo letting go of his ears allowing him to do so.

"Lily," Elliot said softly, looking at the fear ridden bentien. "Lily. Lily look around, you're safe. It is merely Ipo. Merely rough play, harmless. It is harmless." He gently reached out, touching the bare knee.

"What is on her side, Prince Elliot?"

"In a minute, Ipo."

The prince gave a gentle smile, moving the blankets and wrapping the other in them before hugging him again, a strong hug, a protective one. "You are forgiven, nothing bad has happened. Today we will be checking on Ludwig's farms and then the library so you can read to your hearts content. Doesn't that sound nice?"

Ipo stayed on the floor, upper body on the bed. That was something to store away, a little tidbit. "We scared you is all, it's fine. Anyway, what's on your hip? I hardly see anyone with such a marking."

Ipo's ears raised curiously. "What you've done here? Well sure when you guys went at it like rabbits until sunrise the rest of us minus Henry stayed up as long as we could to listen until we couldn't go anymore or our wrists hurt." Ipo ignored the disgusted look on Elliot's face, which complimented well with how dark he had turned. "But you certainly couldn't have gotten the mark for your lovemaking until four or five in the morning."

"Ipo go fetch breakfast." Elliot ordered, trying to decide between abusing the hare or ignoring it.

"Fruit and meat again, today?" He asked. "What're you looking at Lily?"

Elliot looked at Lily before shifting his gaze to where she was looking. His brain quickly processed where they were and what she was looking at. "I believe Reta is that way. Do not worry, we will be going through the southern part, hardly anywhere near the capital. You have myself and guards to protect you."

"And Henry."

"But what's the rain gotta do with it? I think it's pretty amazing you can make it rain. That's weather control, I thought only a select few Kaspians had it." And before Leo had a chance to fully uncover himself the prince slapped his hands over Ipo's eyes.

"We must be decent. Only I can see him naked."

"Even you said it's the same anatomy."

"Well the situation was different then, now go fetch breakfast."

"You hardly eat, but fine." and stood, walking out with one last glance at Lily. Oh, another plan involving Elliot. "I shall strengthen your love for one another!' And closed the door.

Elliot stared. "I adore him, really, but he is worse than his brother at times. At least Kashi is soft spoken."

the black ears lowered somewhat. "I hardly know him. I merely know him through his brother, and they are two opposing personalities just like my sisters are very different." He sighed. "It is not wrong to think so, I just, I am unaware how one acts with a friend. But if you say he is one then I suppose he is." He looked at the blankets in thought, lips morphed in a small pout.

"Am I supposed to give him a gift saying we're friends? What's the social protocol for this? perhaps I'll just sleep on it." And rolled back into the blankets. Yet Elliot knew he couldn't go back to sleep, the idiot hare would come bouncing in with food in a few minutes.

"I have never had friends so I would not know. My mother was incredibly protective of me as a child, and thus I was not able to socialize properly." He never understood why. However as the other draped themselves over him he looked over at the gentle face. "But now that you have me thinking about it I am unaware how I act. When I truly think upon it I am brash and rude and incredibly violent towards Ipo." The prince turned and hugged Leo with the blanket. "Now you have me utterly confused."

"I have food!"

"I am not hungry."

Ipo stared, looking at the plate. "But you told me... eat it." And frowned at the prince before walking forward. "Pardon me, Lily. My liege!" and after nudging Lily off he sat on the prince, said prince staring in disbelief and shock.

"I have you fruits and meat, so we shall start off with a plum."

"Do not dare feed me such disg-" and stopped Ipo's hand as the plum neared his face.

"Plums are good for the digestion, Prince Elliot. Just one bite."

"Get that thing away from me Ipo!" Damn this hare had strength, but Elliot was pushing it away slowly. The hare snatched his hand away, frowning and taking a bite.

"You're no fun," and got off, sitting on the other side. "why don't you like plums."

Sitting up Elliot responded, "They are incredibly tart for my taste and I never much liked the-" but paused as ipo's face met his own, passing the plum into the other's mouth.

"Ta-dah! All eaten!" and stared at the heir, his black ears not flat against his head, but lowered and hanging off the sides, on his face was shock, disbelief and disgust all merged into one. "I've never seen his lamp change colors bef-- oh my it turned black. My liege? My liege the piece of plum is still on your tongue. Perhaps it would be wise to close your mouth." Ipo stared before looking at Lily and shrugging. "I guess he doesn't like plums."
