Welcome to Gaia! ::

Iexa 1

It was a beautiful night, illuminated by strong beams of purest moonlight, the waves crested in white caps made the ocean shimmer as it butted up against the shore in a never ending companionship.

Iexa content with life, looked out at the waves and let his mind wander. They had had dinner. He was full, and very much appreciating the lovely life he lead. The wars were over, small skirmishes would never be extinct. His brother had given him the most adorable niece and nephew with a truly lovely lady that he was proud to call his sister in law.

He had been worried about Lynx who hadn't seem interested in woman until he met the right one for him. He bet their parents were super happy too to have grandkidlets. They certainly seemed to like having their own. He wasn't sure he needed that many kids one day, he was good with however many the gods gave him.

His eyes crinkled as he thought about Sar, his beautiful spicey princess that was also very strong and supportive. He was happy just being with her.

"Hmm?" He turned his head to look at her and his expression changed at the seriousness he saw there. "Are you...okay?"

Despite his regular goofballishness he was rather sensitive in some ways. And being very close to Sar he was quite sensitive to her in particular, as watching her facial expressions was one of his favorite passtimes.

Despite the pretty surroundings he was completely focused on her. He had grown up a touch since he was now a bonefied uncle and could be asked at any moment to go kick the tushy of whoever was bugging his twin, sister in law or their adorable kidlets. He wanted to maybe take the kids one day for a small adventure when they were a bit older. He had not realized he could love them so much but he really did.

He got very quiet, his body still. "Yes, I do remember." To him secrets were secrets, he knew that she in her own time would tell him or at least solve the issue or the alternative of separation should she have found him displeasing in some way or perhaps she was unable to get out of the situation could have potentially ended in her leaving..it hadn't though, she had stayed and he had been patient..ish. She had always kept a wall up. But with her constant companionship he hadn't minded. Change though was in the air. He wasn't sure if he should be nervous or not but either way he would endure.

"Go on." He said gently and encouragingly.

He freely gave her his hands as he always did. Nodding at her words. "Okay." He said not sure what else to do. He grasped her petite gray hands with his much larger tanned ones. His were warm and dry and comforting. "I understand." It would be good to know about threats before they happened so he could beat the crap out of them in assistance. They would have to get through him first and whatever other family were also around.

He would support her no matter what. She was strong and beautiful, a vibrant, untamable, indomitable spirit. Which seemed to be a prerequisit for dating any in his family.

"Okay, so we should be on the look out for him trying to reclaim you then? I won't let that happen." He took the news unflappably. She was more important now in her present than whatever shadows haunted her past. Besides his Mom wasn't exactly the most clean cut in the career department and he wasn't even going to get started on their Matorian neighbors.

"It will be alright Sar, he won't reclaim you..also, some friend of the family to enslave their daughter, I'd flatten his nose out for him if I ever got the chance at it. You are too talented to be owned by anyone but yourself."

"I take it you finally paid him off? That chizzler."

"Well hopefully we won't have to deal with that." He rubbed his thumbed over the hands grasped within his own. "If they do we can kick their butts or relocate for a while until they forget." He didn't give a flying hoot about her past, just that she was finally trusting him enough to open up. He felt special and he was happy that she was finally free and able to get her past off her chest. It must have been so suffocating to go through something like that. It made him feel older, just thinking about it.

"Sar, I am here for you no matter what, you don't have to worry, I won't run." He was more likely to run her enemies down and rearange their faces/lives until they left her well enough alone. She had been in a very rare situation nowadays and he was happy she was finally free at least.

"That sounds good, I think I have an inkling of who you are talking about." He grinned thinking of a certain family with sketchy origins. He was happy that she had felt safe enough to confide in him, there seemed to be less tightness around her eyes. He dragged her in for a gentle hug. She had gone through so much in her life, more than he could imagine if those were the circumstances she had grown up in. He would do his best to make sure that never happpened to her again.

"I'm so glad you are free." He would have kicked the owners butt from here to Kahikinia had he known, but as usual Sar had dealt with her problems herself. "I have never met anyone stronger than you, except maybe my Mom, she is pretty cool." He grinned.

"So what are your plans now?"

"This sounds like a great plan to me." It was in fact his whole life's philosophy squashed between protect your own and tame all the critters. His heart filled with joy for her. To finally be free after so much oppression, that and that she was here spending that hard won freedom with himself. He didn't think he could be happier barring the rage that someone had owned this beautiful wild thing.

It had always been only Sar for him, and so did it continue to be. "Thank you for telling me, I appreciate how hard that was to do." He would have felt similar had he also been in that position.

"That and we didn't really get any calm siblings, despite many times trying." He grinned. He loved his crazy family but in truth Dad was the only 'calm' one. Or at least as far as he knew Dad was the only one.

"Not one of my siblings is boring."
