Armus smiled at Niyana. "It's the least we can do," she murmured softly. "The kids needed to be safe ... and luckily, Ruran never learned to climb a face like that."
Aras giggled. "Yup! Kanis has a cave and me and Rhea have a den! It's really nice, and it's cozy too! And even when we grow there will be room!"
She was so excited that she wasn't even really thinking about what she was saying, and she giggled again and threw her arms around Rhea's neck, hugging him tightly. She could never explain to anyone how special she felt, hearing Rhea's compliment, but she did feel that it was a compliment, and it made her feel better than anything she had ever heard before.
Celebor opened his mouth to reply to his mate when Aras hugged the wolf boy tightly, and he simply nodded in their direction instead.
It seems that our little Aras is quite fond of the boy, he replied to Niyana. Perhaps she has already found the one she may someday be mated to.

Niyana looked a bit shocked "You and Rhea share one together? Why don't you share one with your sister Aras?" She asked then hearing her mate sigh nods, Oh I see...what should we do? And if that is the case then...shall I ask Armus if we can make a betrothal? They already seem very phsycical you don't think they have...figured out how to make love do you?
She nods, "Well thank god for small favors huh?" She laughed a bit. "I am glad to see you so happy Aras...but you dad has something to say to you and I am going to talk to Armus for a minute if she does not mind."
Rhea nuzzled down and licked Aras' neck and laughed. He loved getting her attention.

Aras smiled down at her mother. "Kanis has her own cave, higher up than ours!" she replied cheerfully. "Except she can't live there while her leg's broken."
She was a little surprised when Niyana said that Celebor wanted to talk to her, but she nodded, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Celebor looked thoughtful at Niyana's question. A betrothal? he mused. I suppose that sounds about right ... and I'll talk to Aras for a moment about it. They're just children, I'm sure they're too young to know about making love ...
And as Niyana went to talk to Armus, Celebor quickly scaled the face of the cliff so that he could sit next to Rhea and Aras.
Now what was he supposed to do?
"Aras," he murmured softly, "do you and Rhea sleep together?"
Aras nodded cheerfully. "He keeps me warm and safe," she said brightly.
Celebor nodded slowly. "And ... do you ... do things together?" he asked hesitantly. "More than your training?"
Aras shook her head. "Nope, we just train," she smiled brightly - and then she giggled. "We train with Armus and we train with Corrah and then when we're done with them for the night we train some more by ourselves! It's good practice to make us better."
Celebor smiled, relieved, and reached out to hug Aras tightly. "All right then," he murmured. "I believe you." He kissed her on the forehead lightly. "Now you continue to work hard for Corrah and Armus, all right? Your mother and I won't be back for a while. You have to promise me that you'll train hard and become strong."
Aras giggled and hugged her father back, though her arms weren't quite long enough to wrap entirely around his broad frame. "I promise!" she agreed happily. She was being encouraged to train - which she understood to also continue her nightly training with Rhea - and she wasn't being taken home! It was almost too good to be true!
Armus meanwhile was looking at Niyana curiously. "What's up?" she asked.

Rhea moved back a bit as Celebor moved to sit between Aras and him. The only reason he did not throw a fit about it, was that this was Aras' father. "Would you like to see how den?" He asked his tail wagging softly.
He listened to Aras talking to her had and his brow furrowed. They were training at night? He tilted his head.
Niyana smiled a bit "Well I am sure you have noticed how close Aras and Rhea are...and I would normally not ask of this. But maybe we should make it a bit more offical...like a betrothal. I mean they wouldn't even have to know and if it didn't work out we could just cut it off...but I don't know if Celebor's family...if they found out about them growing would want to match our children up with someone from his home world."

Celebor chuckled softly and reached over to ruffle Rhea's hair gently.
"Another time, perhaps," he smiled at the boy. "Aras's mother and I have to go ... we'll see you again soon, though, don't worry."
He hugged Aras again. "You behave yourself, and train hard," he smiled at her. "I'll see you in a while again."
Aras giggled and hugged her father back. "Okay, Daddy," she agreed. "I'll see you later!"
As Celebor began to climb back down again, she turned excitedly to Rhea. "I can stay with you!" she exclaimed excitedly, hugging him tightly.
Armus blinked at Niyana. "Celebor's family would try to match Aras up with someone?" she asked. She looked up at Aras and Rhea. "If that's the case, then I would say that yeah, that sounds like a good idea. If anyone ever tried to take Aras away from Rhea ... I don't know what he'd do. Maim them, at the least ... possibly kill them, if they tried to use force. And I know Aras feels just as strongly about staying with Rhea, she doesn't like doing anything without him."

Rhea nods and smiles moving over to lay across Aras' lap. "I will keep you nice and safe." he said warmily and licked at her hand.
Niyana nods, "I don't know what his family will do. Maybe we can find Kanis a friend as well...it seems that apart from Ruran she is the only one without someone specail. And maybe if there is a young knight out there she might be impressed." She laughed and shook her head, "I know Rhea would...And Aras could never love or respect someone other than him...that is clear in her actions. BUt at least this way if someone asks I can say she is already promised to another.

Armus looked at Niyana curiously. "Would his family really try to match them up with people they've never met?" she asked. "That seems a little ... odd ... and no, Kanis I don't think has anyone special, but do you really want to force it on her at such a young age? You could just tell anyone who asks that Kanis will choose for herself and doesn't need any help, really ... it's not their business."
She sighed. "Or mine. Sorry. I know it's not my place to say, but I really don't think you should worry so much about finding someone for Kanis right away. It could never end well ... being forced to be with someone never does."
Celebor jumped the last few feet to the ground and made his way back over to Niyana.
"Well?" he asked softly, coming up behind her.

Niyana nods, "Yes I know...but his family has different rules...and well royalty I hear often marries becuase it is what they are told to do...I was not going to try to find someone for Kanis by if it so happens that she likes a knight then well all the better."
She turns to Celebor, "Yes...they will be betrothaled and we are ready to go." She smiled and nods to Armus, "Thank you again for everything. We will see you in a wail." She smiled and moved towards Celebor.

Celebor reached for Niyana's hand and held it in his own, stroking it gently.
"Then we should get back and check on the others," he murmured. "And once we're sure that they're all right and will be all right, I think you and I need some time alone. We should go away together ... somewhere safe, somewhere where we don't have to worry about anything at all."
As Niyana and Celebor headed off, Armus returned to Corrah.

Niyana says her good byes to Armus and waves to Corrah before heading off with Celebor. "If you want too...though I don't know where we would go Celebor...I know your sister has her doll and Ruque has the two mystic beasts but still...should we not asay here a bit longer?"
Rhea turned his head to start nibbling on Aras's belt his tail wagging happily. "Reea maaku Arrrass strouwng"

Celebor nodded. "I'm not saying we have to go right away," he murmured, "but we do need to go sometime. And perhaps it would be best for Ruque and and his ... pets ... to stay with Idhril and Joruri and Sehnin while we're gone, there's safety in numbers after all. As for where we would go ..."
He lifted her hand to his lips and kissed the backs of her knuckles.
"What would you think if I suggested my mother's world?" he asked softly. "Not where we went before, the inn, but her home world ... it's very much like this one, but ... different enough ... and it's really very beautiful, I think we could recuperate together there."
Aras giggled at Rhea. "Yes, you will," she agreed happily. "Come on, let's go back to the den and do our training ... Corrah and Armus can go back to Kanis, they don't want to leave her all alone anyways."
She turned her eyes to their trainers. "Hey, are we still going to train today or are you going to go be with Kanis?" she called down to them.
Corrah looked up at Aras. "We must return to Kanis," he called back. "We will bring you a package of food later, but for now we have to go. You two be careful ... be safe. Beware of Ruran, if he shows up."

Niyana nods, "Yes we should leave him with them...since he will not come and stay with Corrah." She nods, "That will be good then...we should just warn them and say good by then."
She watched him with her hands he did need to be comfortated. He had down a lot to day. "Your mother's world?" She looked down, "If that is where you wish to go we can go there." She nods, "I trust you Celebor...though we don't really need to recuperate...but I am sure that you will enjoy being with your family again."
Rhea tilted his head and looked at the alphas. They must really need to comfort themselves so he nodded and looks at Aras..."Yes...we can train more." he said gently. "I won't let Ruran near Aras sir.." he said to Corrah moving off of Aras.

Celebor put one arm around Niyana's shoulders and drew her close, then kissed her on the top of her head.
"I didn't say with my mother's family," he murmured, "I said to that world. We do not have to see them. There is a place where we can stay ... or we can travel if you prefer ... but it will be just the two of us. You and me."
Corrah nodded. "Then we will see you later," he agreed, and he took Armus's hand and headed off with her into the woods once more.
Aras grinned and grabbed Rhea's hand, dragging him to his feet. "Come on," she whispered to him urgently. "Let's go!" And she took off in the direction of their den.

Niyana nods and presses against him. "I am sorry...though I am sure you would like some time to hunt." she said. She really did not think she belonged in any world with Celebor's family. She hardly managed to get along with his mother and Idhril. "But just you and me sounds good."
Rhea sniffed the air trying to figure out the alpha and the mother's moods but Aras pulled him away. His ears lowered. He felt the tension of everyone. He could only feel the tension and it was worrying him. "Y...yes Aras." he said and allowed her to led him to their den.
