(Been RPing in AIM and want to keep better track of it. After meeting in the forest at the river and going hunting, and getting to know each other they go back to Nunets den to eat and talk.)
Nunet smiled and nodded. "Yeah i think i know. What do you feel more comfortable with? Are you comfortable with how you are or do you think you will be more comfortable changing your path?" He asked with a smile. He took a few berries and chewed them. He went to say something else and berry juice dribbled down his chin a little. nunet looked at it and swallowed his berries and then started trying to lick off the juice
Gaile bit his lip as he thought about it. He didn't really want to make a choice. "Well..I dont want to have to choose, I am happy right where I am in my life...I guess nothing is forcing me to truly decide, I just feel like the fork in the river made me truly realize my inner most feelings.." Gaile pushed around the piece of meat he had in front of him before he took another chunk and chewed it a couple times and down it went.
Nunet pawed at his chest to get off the rest of the juice as he listened. "Oh well if your happy then cant you live with both of your feelings? Or do you want to chose?" He asked as he licked his leg and watched Gaile. He seemed to be really upset with the things he was feeling. He was wondering how he could help Gaile with his problem. What could he say to help more then he was. What exactly was is problem. He wasn't sure what sure he knew what was wrong but he had an idea. Maybe Gaile just needed someone to care about him.
Gaile sighed and pawed at the meat again. "I don't really have to choose I suppose...the fork in the river just made me realize I may have to at some point in time and it worries me...I've never been to great at making large decisions..." Gaile paused and looked down at the meat realizing that Nunet knew not what he was having a hard time deciding on, or his thoughts..but wasn't that his original intentions? He wasn't sure now. He had already been speaking with him for so long that he wasn't sure that it mattered if he told Nunet what he was having trouble with.
Nunet smiled and looked at him. "I've been at a fork before as well. When i was having issues with telling my family i was gay i was there as well. I tried being close with a girl and being. 'Normal' but it wasn't what i wanted and it wasn't what made me comfortable. When i told them they didn't mind and i felt better. But for about a year i was trying to make my self be what i thought they wanted before i realised i would have to be what i wanted to be. I know your ok where your at. But maybe you'll figure out which one suits you better after a while." he said as he ate some more berries.
Gaile watched and listened intently as Nunet explained himself. He lowered his head and gave a small chuckle. "You see...I dont know where I am most comfortable..I am content liking both..But I know at some point, maybe soon maybe not..But I know I'll have to choose and I don't want to chose something I'll regret...." He took another piece of the meat, the piece he grabbed was almost gone, but it was enough for him. He chewed the piece throughly once more.
Nunet smiled. "Well you don't have to chose one for ever. Or you could try with one and then another and see which you like more. You can still stay friends with which ever one doesn't work out. Right?" he asked. So Gaile was in the same boat he had been, kinda. Nunet had known he was gay but tried not to be. Gaile seemed to be happy with both males and female. "Have you been interested in others already? Or been with someone to know one side of it over the other?" He asked.
Gaile dug a claw into the last bit of meat and swallowed what he had chewed to a complete mush. He shook his head and looked to Nunet. "No I haven't chose to be with either or really....I was around a female, and I quite enjoyed it, but around males I feel exactly the same, I look at both in the same context...To me it doesn't matter if they are male or female, if their personality sticks out among others, or even just is up beat and something enough to have me stick around..you know what I mean?" he lowered his head for a moment, hoping he wasn't confusing Nunet. He tore the last bit of meat from his claw and chewed it rather quickly.
Nunet thought about it. "Well then i think it will come down to who you end up loving. You should be fine having relationships with several before you find someone to love. Right? Inless you know someone then you should talk to them. Like that female." He said as he ate a few more berries. "I haven't had too many relationships and they all left cause i spent too much time in the water and not with them." he said with a shrug.
Gaile chuckled at the bit about the water. He knew if he stuck around Nunet that would not matter to him, he had hung around water so much that perhaps Nunet would tire of him that way. "Water huh? I doubt I could tire of that" He chuckled again and scooped up a couple of berries and bit down once and savored the flavor of the berries Nunet gathered.
Nunet laughed. "Really? No one else has thought that." He said as he watched him. He looked at the deer and walked out and ripped off a small piece for him self. He walked back over and lay next to Gaile and ate the meat. "I cant get enough of the water. It makes me feel comfortable when i'm in it and so relaxed. And," He took a bite and swallowed quickly. "Its great exersize." he said as he lifted a leg and showed his muscules.
Gaile laughed and nodded. "Your telling me. I have been following bodies of water since I can remember becoming an elder. If I wasn't beside one I was in one." He looked at Nunet's leg and nodded with a small grin. "It is great exercise no matter your size." he looked himself over compared to Nunet's smaller frame and bit his lip for a moment thinking any possibilities though. He shook his head and smiled before picking up one of the last of the few berries that had been there for them.
Nunet finished his small piece of meat and nodded. "I took a while for me to really be in the water alot but basically since i have been an adult i've been around lakes or this river. i was further in the woods and just followed this river up this way. But i'm never as happy as when i'm in the water." He said, though he wanted to be as happy with someone else as he was in the water.
Gaile watched Nunet eat, not sure if he wanted to beat around the bush with him anymore. He had already found it ironic that he had ran into him, let alone open up the way he had.. "Nunet...I can't help but ask you this...Since we seem to have enough in common..Do you feel anything for me..A spark? I mean would you like me to stay around for a while..?" He bit his lip again and lowered his head for a moment, he was
hoping he wasn't being too straight forward with him.
Nunet smiled a little, and was glad his fur covered his skin and his blush didn't show. "Well...yes i kinda think so. I think i do feel something...No more then something. I would really like you to stick around if you want to. It would make me happy to have you here with me for...how ever you want to stay." he said with a smile. He glanced up at Gaile and wondered how long he would stay.
Gaile lifted a paw and ruffled his white mane and bit his lip. He had been so distracted that he forgot that it was possible for him to transform to an elf. He blushed a little and closed his eyes for a moment. A mist seemed to appear from no where, enshrouding Gaile. When the mist cleared, a young, lengthy male sat cross legged, his body was fit for his stature. He lifted a hand to brush the long blue hair with white peek-a-boo highlights from his face and blushed lightly. He looked down for a moment, forgetting he only had a small deer hide loin cloth. " This might make it easier for us to stay around each other." He laughed a little and lightly placed his hand on Nunets shoulder. "Are you sure you don't mind me staying around...I'd really like to get to know you a little better. You seem like someone I could really get along with" He smiled and blushed, his cheeks visible under his blue hair.
Nunet smiled at the elf in his cave. He was a very attractive male Elf. He had seen Thrud in her elf form but this was thr first male he had seen, and he liked it. When Gaile touched his shoulder the warmth and happyness that radiated through Nunets body made him purr happily and smile widely. "I'd love for you to stick around. I think we'll get along very well." He said as he scooted closer, his side resting against Gaile's leg and resting his head on Gailes knee. He glanced up at Gaile before closeing his eyes happily and purring very happily.
Gaile brushed his hand through Nunet's soft fur and smiled. He looked him over once more and leaned down, lightly kissing Nunet's head. He hoped that Nunet wouldn't think that Gaile was moving too fast. He had just wanted to truly know how he felt and the only way for him to do that was to actually express himself as the feelings came along. He looked out back towards the exit of the den and then back to Nunet. "I am sure we will too. I enjoy your company already"
Nunet smiled and his tail swished happily a little. The kiss on his head made him feel so much better about having him stick around. He knew this would be a wonderful experence. Gaile was...well perfect. Would he want to stick around for ever? Well that was something he would ask later. For now he just liked the fact that he had someone now. "I'm glad you want to stay. It will make this den much more comfortable." he said happily as he snuggled into his leg more and smiled up at him.
Gaile smiled and thought about it, almost yearning to change back to his true form to be able to cuddle with Nunet a little easier. "Would you mind me changing back...? It would be a little more comfortable for me.." He leaned down his head again and lightly rubbed his face against Nunet's back and closed his eyes for a moment. He then lifted his head and looked down waiting for Nunet's answer
Nunet smiled and nodded. "Yes that sounds nice." He said. The sun was setting and it was starting to get a little cooler. They were far enough from the river that the breeze didn't blow off it and make the den cold, but it did allow a small breeze in that could make the den rather cold.
Gaile moved slowly to let Nunet move so he didn't fall over when Gaile got up. He moved to the outside of the den and the mist shrouded him again, replacing the elven frame with a much larger one. He smiled and returned back into the cave. He squeezed himself inbetween the wall and Nunet, careful enough to not lay on Nunet but just inches away so that he could cuddle up if he still wanted to. He stretched out his full length and looked to Nunet and smiled. "I feel like I could stay here forever.." He said looking out of the den to see the first star of the night enter the fiery sky.
Nunet smiled as he moved around the cave and watched. He changed back in his form and smiled as he got up and moved closer towards him. He lay down beside him and snuggled against his warm side. He closed his eyes and made a rumbling noice of happyness as he snuggled his head against Gailes side. "I'm glad." he said glad to know he was happy enough to want to stay forever, cause Nunet thought he might like it if he stayed forever. Gaile already seemed perfect here. The cave seemed warmer and much more homy now that he was here and comfortable. He looked over Gaile and saw the sky, with its little stars just starting to come out and smiled making a wish that Gaile would stay.
