And just when I'd gotten them back to normal too, a shame if you really did poke my eyes out.

[ He does an /examineself and hums his approval. ]

More formal than I am used to.

[menphina]

You're doing well keeping them that way, but I'll blindfold you if Nidhogg decides to glare at me again.

[ Clapping her hands together. ]

'tis comfortable though, isn't it? You'll look so handsome- especially since it's for our engagement to Ayme, so we have to try and look as presentable as possible.

[ She's a little flustered mentioning it. ]

How are you feeling... I can scarce believe he wishes to propose to us.

[finalsteps]

He's just angry, harmless though.

[ But he's been able to quell Nidhogg enough to have a semblance of normalcy. ]

We needed to look presentable for an engagement?

[menphina]

What were you planning to look like?

[ Estinien... ]

... besides, nicer clothing is a lot more fun to lose at the end of a nice evening. Especially one as intimate as that where you will be the future Ser Varlineau-Borel of the Oceans and the Utakata family.

[finalsteps]

Like myself?

[ Listen! He doesn't know! He is dumb! He is also not good at formal wear, he has barely enough sense to match clothes most days. ]

I really have gaioned a lot of names, haven't I?

[menphina]

Even in a place like this, we ought to try and make things a little special, aye?

[ She has been a little antsy, but at least this has been nicer to think about. She moves to fix up the waistcoat a bit. ]

You're also very loved... I can scarce believe we've found so much of it in just a few suns here. Time does move strangely, doesn't it?

[finalsteps]

Time moves strangely. It feels as if I should have been with all of you more than a few moons.

[ That means Moon and Gaius too. ]

How should we add Gaius into that mix of names?

[menphina]

It does... and I suppose we can have it be... Ser Estinien Varlineau-Borel Baelsar Yukimura of the Oceans and Utakata Family.

[ She beams, with an ear wiggle. ]

Estinien for short!

[finalsteps]

With how many lovers I have, perhaps Hydaelyn was right about me.

[ He snickers, leaning down to kiss her. ]

[menphina]

Aye, you're certainly full of love now, aren't you?

[ Standing up on tiptoe to kiss him, wiggling her ears. ]

Such a charming rogue you are, indeed. And what a fine husband you'll make, too... whenever that time comes. Does it.. make you happy to think of it?

[finalsteps]

It makes me happy to think of it, aye. I never thought I would be a husband to be honest. And if I could mind your little ones with Aymeric and Moon…

[ He’s still certain he would be a better minder and than father. ]

[menphina]

You could father them too.

[ She smiles and takes his face in her hands. ]

'twould be nice to leave more than just your deeds in our world, aye?

[finalsteps]

I could, but isn’t that asking a lot of your body?

[ THAT IS SO MANY BABIES. ]

[menphina]

You underestimate my body. Do you know mine mother's sisters have at least twelve children of their own from different mates? ... granted a lot of them were twins and triplets, but-



[ This is normal. ]

[finalsteps]

I do not understand the workings of your tribe and such. I know you've a Matriarchal duty…

Are you still fulfilling that having the children of two elezen and a dragon?

[ help. ]

[menphina]

Perhaps a Garlean too, should he want it. Though he may just be fine with all the children around already.

[ Gaius is good about adopting, isn't he? She grins then. ]

'tis just wishful thinking, anyroad. If there's a chance of it coming true... then I shall happily take it. We've still many adventures to have until then, aye?

[finalsteps]

Perhaps it will just take time for me to get used to.

[ He leans down to kiss her. ]

It’s not an unwelcome idea or thought. We can just let it come naturally, aye?

[menphina]

Aye... we've got much else to worry about right now.

[ Wrapping her arms around his neck to pull him down and kiss properly before nuzzling his nose. ]

Come, let's get you changed. Don't want to ruin a nice outfit before you can show it off.

[ She'll move to help him- ]

Did you ever imagine us being this way?

[finalsteps]

[ He will allow her to undress him, assuming they brought other clothes with them. Surely they did. SURELY. ]

Truthfully, I do not know if we would have developed this way without actually being able to stop and think about it. You saw everything that we went through at home. I think saving the universe likely comes before love.

[menphina]

[ She has his casual wear that she also sewed him and once that's off she'll be helping him back into his shirt. ]


Perhaps... but I do know that my feelings for you have always been there. Even if I've never acted on them to make them more than what we are...

[ She laces up the shirt at his waist so it shows off his boobs more. Mm hot boyfriend. ]

The only thing missing back home is the confession, isn't it?

[finalsteps]

Aye, a confession and a proposal. Though I assume that having a three person marriage is a little unheard of. Perhaps the moogles would be willing to wed the three of us.

[ He snorts again, leaning down to get another kiss. ]

I assumed at home you didn’t want me.

[menphina]

'tis not so uncommon... don't forget there are more bondings than the ones the sanctum and church usually have.


[ Tribes and clans have had multi-folk unions for a while. She smiles and kisses him back! ]

... you're silly for assuming I wouldn't want you. I've hardly been subtle about enjoying your company. Not everyone gets to meet my children either, you know.

[finalsteps]

Forgive me, darling, I've not a lot of knowledge on those subjects and you are well aware of that.

[ But also, like, fuck the church. Even if he probably secretly prays to Halone still. He's still a fantasy catholic elf after all. ]

I know this much. Your children are the one thing you keep hidden if you can.

[menphina]

[ She's just glad— he accepted her at all, and she smiles gently at the mention of her children. She misses them so much, and once Estinien is back in a casual shirt and trousers, she tugs him with her to flop onto her cushion nest so they can lay down and cuddle. ]

... is there anything you wish to have of me? Since we're going to be mates... you must have some wishes of your own.

[finalsteps]

[ He has to think about it. He is a man of simplicity. He's never really though much about the things that he wants.

So while putting his arms around her, he shrugs. ]

I've not given it much thought.
