Usually Kettil was a patient soul. Usually he just waited or went to bed when Freya decided to take forever to return. At this point the boil was now convinced that Freya had fallen head first into her jug of whatever she was going to get to drink and was now drowning.
...But he was comfortable.
But she might be drowning...
...But comfort...
"Endy, go check on 'er," he reached up to bat at his familiar. She unsettled and grunted in return.
"Whoooo am I checking on?" She demanded.
Kettil peered up at his Familiar, she'd obviously fallen asleep as he was chatting, "Freya, she went to get a drin--."
"...Freya?!" And she was gone before he even finished talking. Out the window and down to Freya's window the Owl went. Once at Freya's window she flew in without even announcing her presence other than to screech, "Freeeyaaaah~!"

Freya was sitting on the little counter beside her fridge, snacking on some kind of small pebble sized candy. Her head rested against the fridge, and her eyes were glazed over in thought. They focused right up when she heard Endy's cry, however, and she sat up straight, putting her snack away and holding her arms out to the owl.
"My precious!" She screeched, ready to coddle the everloving daylights out of Endy as soon as she fell into her lap. "Whatchyeh doings here so late? No, I has a better question, because yehr just as bad as yehr reaper. How comes I hasn't seens yeh in so longs? Is Kettil so much better teh sleeps with than yehr own wife teh be?!" She gave Endy a mocking look, eyes wide and lips pursed to create the most amount of guilt possible.

And fall onto the lap she did just taking up all the love and attention and -- wait..
"Well, I like being up at night! It is unnatural to be up during the day," she muttered softly almost grousing a bit but then the look Freya gave her made the Owl stare at her in what could only be described as disbelief, "Of course not!"
Why would her Wife think this?! So sad. So sad.

"GOOD!" Freya dropped the act and returned to snuggling Endy affectionately, rubbing her cheek against the feathers in front of her. "Because I missed yeh, and I needs yeh, so yeh should comes spend more times with me even if it means sleepings here or not sleepings here. I don't cares, I will takes either."
Then she paused, and pulled away, brushing her thumb along the top of Endy's head gently.
"So if yeh don't comes teh sleeps, whatchyeh doings here now? Did yeh finds out we were chattings and yeh gets jealous?"

She let out small quiet happy sounds, "I'll visit more," she promised in her quiet voice. As she just took on the affectionate pettings she just sat there quietly trying to remember why it was her reaper nudged her awake to begin with.
... ... . .
"Yes." She said simply because she honestly couldn't remember. Endzela started to groom at some of her feathers self consciously showing that maybe she had fibbed a little just now.

Freya crooned at the answer, clearly hoping that was the case. "Good. That means yeh still loves me. Now if yeh wants, I was goings teh goes teh bed after I says goodnight teh yehr reaper. Yeh stays with me, okay? If yeh don't sleeps, at least yeh stays with me for a bit and cuddles, and yeh can head back when I am sleepings." She leaned down and kissed the owl's head, before carrying her gently to her little desk, and sitting back down on the computer. The screen was still lit, and the IM was still open with Kettil, who was already bugging her about taking too long. It was his fault. He gave her too many things to think about. She typed out a quick reply, and then a goodnight. Pales Pound_It: GOD I WAS HUNGRY TOO SO I HAD A SNACK OK Pound_It: OK MOM Pound_It: Anyway Pound_It: I'm goings teh bed with yehr familiar. Pound_It: Goodnight Hooter. Pound_It: Love y She paused, started to delete her last sentence, paused again, and narrowed her eyes. No, she did love him. This was a different love. And that was okay. "OKAYS." She announced rather abruptly, walking away from her computer in a huff. "We sleeps!"

Endzela let out another content sound, "I will stay til' morning," she promised. Kettil needed to be sleeping by now anyways. So it wasn't like her Reaper needed her straight away. Thus she was happy to wait until Freya was ready.
Meanwhile Kettil slightly dozed off while waiting and then suddenly jolted awake when his messenger went off, "..Ah ha. Heh..." Nio Love Sight Unseen: Pfft. : P Show you mom.
...Why did it make him feel weird and awkward all of the sudden? Like he was betraying Lark when it was...
....No. This wasn't going to be awkward. Kettil sat up a bit straighter and typed in his response. Nio Love Sight Unseen: I love you too, take care of Endy. Sight Unseen has signed off.
He bit down on his lip and chewed on it for a moment before he went off to take a shower to try and clear his head. Suddenly now he was too full of thoughts.
Endzela, on the other hand, was settling in with Freya for a nice sleep, "Rest well~," she cooed.

Freya had already been in her owl pajamas before she'd opened up HIM, so when she climbed into bed, she was ready and waiting for Endzela to join her. She patted the space of pillow beside her head, and grinned sleepily up at the owl.
"Thanks yeh, my love." She coo'd affectionately, and snuggled under her covers. Her soft bed welcomed her, beckoning her to dreamland - but she fought it, desperate for just a few minutes more with her beloved Endzela.
"Endy, can I asks yeh somethings?" She murmured quietly.

Endzela had settled near Freya's head on the bed gathering this and that to make a little 'nest' to settle into. As her eyes just stared around the room like a good guardian she blinked over at Freya after hearing the quiet question, "Hmm? What is it you want, Poppet?"

Freya's eyes were still open, but sleep was threatening them and making them heavy. Still, she asked.
"Is he happy?"

She was taken aback at least a little bit by this sudden question it made her actually have to fall silent and think. Kettil smiled, certainly, but sometimes he looked thoughtful maybe even worried. Quietly she nestled near the ghoul, "He is worried about silly things even if he acts all care free but he is happy. He misses home but he has you and he has Lark. He just...Has a very big heart."
And is paying for it, Endzela thought to herself glumly.

Freya could have taken the answer as a positive, but she was too sleepy, and there were too many words. Worried, silly, big heart. She couldn't decide if Endy was trying to get around the truth or not.
"Is having us both hurting him?"

Another thoughtful pause. The horned owl let out a soft series of sounds and clicks before she finally said, "I think the fear of losing you both hurts him more than anything else does," Endzela said simply.
"He just wants to make everyone happy and for everyone to be happy together," she simply said her head leaning forward to pull some of Freya's hair from her face with a gentle brush of her beak, "in his ideal world...Everyone is happy and friends, but sometimes the reality shows him otherwise."

"Mmff." Freya's eyes closed when Endzela plucked at her hair, and she let out a long, slow breath. It almost looked like she was finally ready to fall asleep.. until she spoke.
"What if life doesn't let us has what we wants, how we wants it, Endy?" Freya's face crunched up, and her lower lip jutted out in a pout, but her eyes stayed closed. "One day, Kettil's goings teh has teh choose betweens staying friends with me.. and keeping Lark. And I knows teh answer. Because I knows what's right. But it still hurts."
She reached her hand up to her eye and rubbed it with her fist.
"Life isn't as happy as he thinks it can be."

The Owl fell into a disturbed silence for a long moment her feathers for the moment puffing out over her entire body before settling down again before she simply answered, "I think in that case he'd probably do something stupid and say he'd rather live alone," she huffed softly, "I don't think Lark would force him to pick, would you?"
As long as they didn't ... Kiss again, the Familiar didn't exactly understand the issue with this.
"He'll compromise, but he won't choose," she said simply with a small click of her beak.
