[ The sounds that leave him are full of bliss, moans that can't be stifled. It looks like Aymeric has succeeded in fucking the brains right out of Estinien, what little he had left anyways.

He doesn't want Aymeric to let up on the pace, so he does continue to encourage him. Body pliable for him. ]

[peacetalks]

Gods--

[aymeric swears and releases estinien's hair, soothing it briefly before both hands grab his hips, fucking into him with no holding back anymore, groaning with every thrust, his voice breathless and husky]

You're wonderful, ah, Estinien. Giving me all this, all of you... I love you so much.

[he mouths at the back of his neck, one hand snaking down underneath to curl his fingers around estinien's cock, just giving him some friction to move into]

[menphina]

You need to have them all, of course!

[ Such a better topic. She giggles finally. ]


He'll be so baffled. Hmmm, maybe I could be Megumi Yukimura de Borel-Varlineau, Radiant Matriarch of the Utakata— gods, that's such a mouthful. Which you lot usually are, mind.

[finalsteps]

I’ve never been a mouthful, not like that. Think even about throwing Gaius in the mix and things get even more complicated.

If he decided to rule Garlemald’s rebuild one of us would be yae Baelsar.

[menphina]

I've a feeling he might balk at the thought of being in that kind of position of authority. Imagine calling him Gaius zos Baelsar, Emperor of Garlemald. yae would make him the Crown Prince, wouldn't it.

[ She's chuckling now. ]

And I thought Megumi of the Utakata family was a lot... though...

[ Her voice softens. ]

There's something about that name you should know, eventually. It's nothing great, but— I suppose if anyone ought to know it first, it should be you all.

[finalsteps]

He would either balk at it, or take it with pride. He is a garlean through and through. If anyone were to rebuild Garlemald from the ground up it should be him. Aye?

[ Also chuckling trying to imagine “Estinien yae Baelsar”. He would suck as a prince. ]

Tell me? You know all of the secrets of mine own name and previous titles.

[menphina]

He is... I believe the Garlemald of the future will be one where he'll feel proud of it once more.

[ She exhales softly. ]

... let me see you in person? Seems a little impersonal to tell you over this device, aye?

[finalsteps]

Very well, I should like to see you in person anyhow. After how hard you were fighting G'raha.

[ Who he trusts is okay, he hopes. ]

[menphina]

Aye... meet you at the beach, then. You've not spent time there yet, have you?

I'll wait by the shore.

[ G'raha is unconscious and recovering. She can worry about him when the time comes. ]

[finalsteps]

I wandered down here to watch Moon fish the other day, but I’ve not stayed there.

I’ll see you soon.

[ And he goes! He will be waiting for her at the beach. ]

[menphina]

[ She'll be waiting on a beach blanket and dressed light- it's a little windy but not so bad. When he arrives, she beckons him over to sit.

And when he does, she's just going to move between his legs and wrap her arms around him, hugging him tight and not moving for a bit. ]

An Ehsk.

[finalsteps]

[ He can already tell, just by her demeanor that she is still holding some sort of guilt. He wishes there were things he could do to rid her of it. Bugbear and Cerberus would have both eaten shit if not for Echidna, and they wouldn't be sitting here right now.


Also he lays Nidhogg (the lance) next to them. He doesn't trust that some of those Tsuchi members might not still be berserking. ]

You still have the face of someone who is guilty.

[finalsteps]

[ Aymeric is nearly the only person he would trust to see him this vulnerable. So open, wanting. Estinien has enough mind to really listen to the words, the sounds coming from Aymeric. Hearing him take exactly what he wants is incredibly arousing. ]

And I, a-ah, you, beloved. So much, so much.

[ The needy groan when his cock is touched edges pleading. He wants this, he wants Aymeric, and he's a little needy when put in a situation like this. ]

[menphina]

Not as much as I did before.


[ Which is the truth. She has her own lance in her aether pocket, and she kisses the side of Estinien's neck before moving her face in front of him, taking his face in her hands. ]


Though I suppose- there is some shame. Echidna may have saved you while we attacked Kraken, but what if they had attacked another while we struck at you... it shall pass, but this was far too close.

[ She shakes her head, leaning in to kiss his mouth and pushing their foreheads together. ]

We lived. Saturn was upset that we were all upset about it despite living- even if he felt badly for disappointing Vicious who had likely pushed for Cerberus too. We argued a bit, but we're fine now...

[ She cares for him as well, so she didn't like seeing him be irritable. ]

I never- I never wanted any of you to think we didn't want to protect you, too. Never for a moment. I think seeing him worry about that made me wonder.

[peacetalks]

[aymeric wraps his fingers tightly and strokes estinien from root to tip, firm and fast, as he pounds into estinien's ass mercilessly. aymeric is clearly losing control as well, coming unraveled from how good he feels]

Will you, ah, will you come for me, like this? I bid you--

[growls, draconic and pleased and hungry]

Do it.

[finalsteps]

[ Estinien can't keep his composure any longer. He moans loudly, resisting the urge to cover his face when he yells out for Aymeric. ]

Aymeric, godsdamnit-!

[ It doesn't take him much longer before he's spent, coming for Aymeric nearly on command. Gasping for him with each breath. Body wanting to give out on him, but he's stubborn enough to keep himself propped up properly so that Aymeric can finish as well. ]

[peacetalks]

[aymeric groans into estinien's shoulder as he feels him come, the way his body holds onto him so tightly through his climax driving him towards the edge]

Fury, Estinien, just--just like that...!

[he frantically kisses a path all along the back of estinien's neck and shoulder, hips rocking into him erratically, and when he finally comes it's with a breathless moan of relief]

[finalsteps]

You needn't worry about me, beloved.

[ He doesn't want to put the truth of the matter out there, but for the sake of it? He's going to. ]

Vicious and myself pushed for Cerberus because we wanted to try and put our faith in our bonds. While I do not think it would have been the wrong choice, diplomacy says that Kraken and Cerberus already had a prearranged agreement that neither myself nor Vicious were aware of.

Seeing the results? Had Echidna not protected Bugbear, which then protected Cerberus. We would have both been dead.

Whether or not you wanted to protect us or not, you have another team depending on you.

[menphina]

[ And that's what kills her. ]

I didn't think that arrangement applied here, even though the last time I approached Nobara for it- and that was only because I knew of Bugbear's plans.

[ Her grip on Estinien tightens some more. ]

What's worse.. is that I callously told Saturn and Aymeric they weren't considering your hearts and should bear that in mind knowing how hurt you'd all be. How you would feel, being the cause of our deaths if we did this.

[ Not that she doesn't think they were being too logical about this. Even if they accounted for everything that could happen, as did she. ]

Vicious acted like he wouldn't care if he killed someone, yet he confronted me for saying that to Saturn. I have to make it up to him too.


[ Suffice it to say, she's not really feeling like a good person and needs to do better. ]

I suppose this is why the Scions make the decisions and I follow them.

[finalsteps]

[ He just, rubs her back. He knows that they didn't give anyone a choice the last time. Especially what with how Bugbear planned their own demise the last time. ]

We wouldn't have felt great, and there would be more tension right now...surely.

[ Estinien doesn't know how to help this. ]

If it will cause you conflict, I would prefer that you not worry so hard about me.

[menphina]

You ask me to stop breathing if I stop worrying for you- and Gaius, my love.

[ She exhales softly, her ears lowering. ]

But Minato... he said- it was important that both sides were heard. If one side needed the emotion, we would have those to give it- and for those that needed logic to the emotions- such would be so. 'Tis how we came together on the matter.

[ She exhales. ]

... we ought to probably feel fortunate nothing did happen. In the future... should anything happen to me- or anyone you love. Please stop us from hurting anyone else. I will do the same for you...

[ If all deaths go the same way, then she has to say this now. ]

I'm just glad we lived. Even if Raha... [ Her voice wavers and she steels herself before continuing- ]

—he's not himself right now.

[finalsteps]

[ And there is a groan of relief from Estinien as well. He feels completely spent. Barely able to keep himself held up at this point. When Aymeric says he won't hold back, he really isn't kidding. ]

Gods, Aymeric...

[ He's sort of speechless. Catching his breath and curling his fingers into the sheets below them. ]

I hope you don't expect to leave until we've rested more.

[finalsteps]

Then I will not ask of you to stop worrying. I just cannot change what is before us right now and it frustrates me.

[ He doesn't get frustrated enough to leave the conversation though, he has become a slightly better man than that. ]

No one questioned me or Vicious on the decision. To think the new ones trusted us so blindly. One asked a few more questions than the others...but, aye.

[ He rubs her back. ]

You know how it goes. He will be himself soon enough.

[menphina]

I know...

[ She chuckles quietly. ]

You do more than enough by simply being here and not leaping away in a panic, An Ehsk.

[ She smiles and looks up, touching his cheek. ]

You know you're part of my heart, aye?

[peacetalks]

[letting out a long, deep exhale as he savors the feeling of being inside estinien, lips brushing along the back of his neck and spine, filled with affection]

I've no intention of letting you go so soon, fear not.

[aymeric does shift his hips so estinien can lower himself a little more, but he still stays inside, not fully soft yet]
