[gwen] doesn't seem to mind the discomfort of the armor against her, given the nature of her father and brother both, and her own armor, it is possible she is simply used to such things. She pulls back and smiles once more at Manic "bring Peter back safe now." and she also offers a smile to the others "When you do, come and enjoy the hospitality of Night Haven. I insist."
Mortak: looked seeming to get all but one thing "how can a lad have two fathers did it hurt when he come out or was one of them cut open?" he asked he was versed in many things but mortak only knew very little of that save what he did in brothals now and then. but hearing this he was clearly taken back by the confusion
Manic got to his feet finally, taking of his helmet to dry his eyes before going over to help Bastion up. "We can discus how latter, for now lets get going. This thing showing to head towards the temple of light so it's going to be a bit of a trek. I don't want to use magic this time as Abi has a bad reaction to too much of it. Plus I'm still not fully clear on the destination" he sighed. Bastion still lay there and wouldn't get up, even though Alex tried to calm him. He would wave farewell to Gwen "don't worry we will bring Petter back" he told her, chuckling as Abi filled in the newcomer.
Alex would try to help Bastion up. "Comeon....we gotta go to the Temple....come on.." she coaxed him. the plants retreating lightly as she would help him up if he will stand up. Allowing him to lean against her if needed. She was small but she could easily help him up and move him.
looked to Mortak and she nodded Abigail not being used to magic really did have bad reaction to it , it made her very drunk , " I am afraid this will be rather short visit as i Do have to go Help our friend ..but if i do come back , we can visit more then , " maybe one of these days ortak will visit with abi when she is normal , allthough that seemed like fleeting goal the more she hung out with the faye ...They did need to keep moving , at least back to the house of light she sighed " Its okay if we use magic , just as long as you give me time ..for the efects to wear off . did the stone tell you where we must travel ?"
Mortak: "may the seven watch over you on your travils then" he said

[Gwen] herds the neko back towards the temple of the neko "Go on Aiko, you should pray a bit at the temple." which causes them to all run for the reclining cat building. She waves to the lot of visitors "Hurry back, I must return to my work now." and with that she scampers off towards her shop looking like a child, or a fae in her appearant unconcern for worries
Manic got on the other side of the still crying man, helping Alex get him up and into the Caravan. "ok. All aboard" he said, going back to grab the helmets and the trident before he forgot those . He looked to Mortak "you can come with us if you like. I don't know how long the travel will be though" he offered to them. He looked to Abi "No.. call it more of a feeling" he said in response to her question about the stone. "also no more magic will b used as we need to preserve it for whatever might come" he explained.
Bastion would let them help him up and to the back of the caravan, taking of his helmet to reveal red hair and black curved horns like a goats. He took off his gloved next, revealing that what had looked like sharp points on the gloves were in fact the talon like nails on each finger of his hands. He would strip off most of his armour, just feeling this need to get it off. thankfully h was wearing a red cotton outfit under that.
Alex sat next to Bastion as they loaded up. She would help him if needed to remove the armor. Its not like they need it rightnow any way. Hmming softly in hopes of calming him

It certainly was a good thing he had clothes on and abi had no intention of helping him get his aurmor off . Off course we're she healing it would be a different story .then she went into professional mode, just plain Abi ..seeing a half naked man would make her blush and she wouldn't ..look at him . She couldn't look at him . She didn't look at manic either or Alex at this point. She did take out a dried piece of fruit to munch on to distract herself from the fact that he was stripping.
Manic finished loading up and seeing as the strange man had left without giving him an answer he would get into the drivers seat and head out, leaving the girls in the back with the still much upset Bastion.
Bastion, couldn't seems to stop crying, though the tars were not made of water and instead made of gold that collected on the floor and seemed to collect together on it's own. He would let Alex help him get the armour off though he still wouldn't let her touch him, moving away every time she tried. "My boy.. my poor boy.. legs all broken.. oh Peter.. My Peter" he sobbed inconsolably.
as he cried for Peter alex couldn't help but to cry too.."Please....Bastion....snap out of it..." she didn't know what to do, so she would make an attempt to slap him. "Bastion...stop! Please...We'll find him...we...we will.." she panted, shaking. Vines starting to creep around the carriage
She could see as panic started to set in both feeding off each other . She took out two small vials . It could put them to sleep or just simply relax them .. " King bastion , I was brought on this trip as a healer .. this will help to relax you for a bit and you as well, Alex ." She handed both of a vial exactly four drops " place it under your tounge ..it will help you keep composure. We have a long way to go and we of no use to Peter if we can't keep our heads together . he is not dead , then he can be healed."
Bastion blinked at being slapped, though it did seem to stop him long enough to hear Abi and look her direction. His eyes now red and no longer black. He nodded dumbly and took the stuff as she had asked him to do, handing the bottle back to her. "I'm sorry.. it's just.. they hurt him.. the lady I talked to said he is hurt.." he half whimpered, no longer sounding or looking scary. He looked and sounded like a father worried sick about his boy and made upset by visions. "I.. I'm sorry.. " he started to aver and then fell over, the weight of his wings knocking the man to the floor as the caravan continued on.
Looked to Abi and nodded...holding the vial...She only got upset because Bastion was...As he calmed she did too..the vines going away. "W...We'll find him...we'll make him better....we...gotta..." she stroked his hair if she could in a consoling matter.

Watched as he had passed out. It could be a rather strong combo ..valerian root and chamomile. She just knew he needed rest. She watched as Alex was consoling him in a very gentle manner and she could understand why Peter would like her also . She was much less stuffy then abi ..she moved her feet slight when he passed out . So he was not on top of them . When he did awake he should feel as if he had the best sleep of his life . He could have had a dreamless sleep. " Manic your ex lover assured me he was ready " she was worried about his state when he actually saw Peter . Actually she was worried about both there states. She could only avoid a demon using her tricks of being pacifist for so long ..and anybody who knew abi . Knew she wasn't a fighter that sword would be useless ifit came down to it.
Bastion lay on the floor , his wings moving to make a sort of blanket for him as he curled up before he actually started to snore, the snore coming out as a half bird chirp half whistle sort of noise. his red hair soft to Alex's touch, like petting the soft down of a bird
Manic was still driving up front but he could hear and feel everything going on in the back. He was doing his best to just ignore it but then that sleeping potion kicked in. He shook the feeling off.-dam it.. of all days to not be waring my charm- he thought to himself as h cursed the fact he could feel everything Bastion did. "He will be ready.. trust me you don't want to even get Bastion Bux mad" he said in a serious tone back to Abi and yawned. "Every.. everything ok back there?" he asked now, struggling to stay awake and pressing on further down the road. He was determined to get to the first camp site before night fall.
continued to pet Bastion's feathery hair...."H..He's okay..just...asleep.." she told Manic...she didn't drink her potion. She continued to Hmm and tend to Bastion, making sure he was okay as the carriage traveled.

Nodded trusting manics opinion on the matter " I'm only saying something because..I can't be brought on this trip to fight ."she admitted she was not the best " would you like me to drive manic " hearing the fatigue in his voice
Manic shook his head, talking to her over his shoulder. "this is the only thing keeping me awake.. whatever you just gave Bastion.. " he yawned "It's hitting me too.. were bonded... " he said continuing on until at last they reached the first stop on their trip, puling the caravan over and now helping to unload what they would need for the night. Setting up three tents "Alex if you could be so kind as to gather fire wood and Lady Abigail if you could refill the water canteens" he asked of them both, barely awake at this point
Alex nodded softly "Yes...." she would gather fallen wood to make a fire..the plant life helping her as she went along. Not venturing far from camp
She would note that they are bonded as she found fresh water and did such . She also fill up the pot and begin to put rations in the pot . Abigail would put three small squares in pot waiting on the fire . When the fire was ready and the pot began to boil the little food rations would break apart naturally making a stew entirely out of herbs. And then add a jar of beans. Abi made quick work of supper . She had obviously been on adventures before .
She thought for a moment about this bonded nature " so does that mean if you are injured then King bastion is as well and vise versa . Because if we run into battle . That might make things difficult
Manic finished setting up the tents as the girls did their work. He moved Bastion into one of the tents and disappeared for a long while, coming out wearing just black shorts and boot. He had not a thing to cover his torso except for a charm that hung about his neck and rested on his upper chest. He sat at the fire and smiled to Abi "Indeed it does, though normally we would be wearing our charms to prevent such a problem. I just had not been wearing mine when you drugged him" he smiled and came to sit on a tree stump. "may I have some of the food?" he asked then, getting hungry.
came back with plenty of firewood...dragging it over near the fire...she winced moving to her knees as she was exhausted. "T...That should do us...till morning...." she breathed. "I'm okay..."

Looked every which way but at him when he came out wearing nothing but the charm on his torso " of course the food is for everyone . We are after all one camp ..if you want meat , that you will have to forage on your own as the supplies as I do not eat flesh of any sort" she would not us unless she was drunk off magic or alcohol. She took this time to help Alex to the campfire .. and put a bowl of the soup in her hand . To avoid looking at manic " oh no dear your not fine here ..eat " as she began to spoon some of the food in her mouth
Manic took the food and sniffed at it, he knew she was avoiding looking at him and for the longest time didn't realize he was making her uncomfortable. "Should I put on something more covering?" He asked and watched her more to help Alex "you holding up Alex?" he asked "this must be your first adventure" he as commented on how tired she was form collecting wood. "thank you both for all your help today and in the days to come." he said it like a meal time prayer and then chowed down.
was helped to the fire. starting to eat what was handed to her. "I'm fine...just...the further away from my glade, the more limited my power is. It will return soon. Think of it as running a marathon and just running out of steam.." she chuckled softly as she trembled....
Shook her head " uncomfortable no..uh never ..you're fine " she would never let her modesty block the way from some one elses comfort. She would continue to spoon feed Alex as way to not look at manic . At least until she got used to him . It was just off to see another man in his shorts that she wasn't healing . " I'm sorry for giving your brother such a strong potion..he just looked like he needed it "
Manic watched the two girls and chuckled as Abi denied being bothered, though is she did glance his was she would see a well chiseled body, tanned from too much time out in the sun and covered in scars from previous battles. She might even notice the scar tissue about his eyes and that the golden tips of his horns were gone, leaving behind very non threatening stubs. He had seen combat and ben hurt badly more than once. He looked to Alex "well.. why not move your grotto close and go rest in there tonight. It can move right?" he asked her.
nodded softly "It can but....it is a little far right now and it will take much strain to move it....I can do it if..you help me..." she looked to Manic..."But once out of the woods, I cannot summon my grotto.....without trees...its nothing..." she told him....she finished her food and placed the bowl down. feeling better.

abi looked around as everyone was finishing up their dinner and resting" I think i am going to the the stream , and Check out the plant life .." she grabbed her sample bag , and set up her little traveling alchemist table. in case she found something she could use right away. " No one touch this" she said pointing at her alchemist table . she then looked in her traveling mirror , arranged her hair so that it was once again perfect , and began heading toward the stream. if anyone wanted to follow they of course could . or they could stay at the campsite. it made no diffrence to her . She would go regardless
Manic just smiled at Abi "ok My Lady, be safe" he said and watched her go. He looked back to Alex as she said moving her Groto was hard and she would need his help. "Most certainly Alex and everywhere we go here has trees so I think we should be fine. Just tell me how I might be of assistance" he said, getting up and cleaning up from the meal, putting everything away.
Alex nodded softly. "I just need...yo borrow some energy...just. ..a little...take my hand...." she reached out her hand to him. She heard Abi speak about leaving and nodded. "Once its close to me it should be easy to call it....distance weakens the signal.."
was so glad , they didn't follow she wanted to wash up , but she would never say outloud that she wanted to bath that would be very unlady like. she found a kind of hidden spot away from the camp but not too far away. As she undressed..she would take her clothes the ones that could be washed her shirt and underthings and laid them out in the sun to dry , ..while she went into the deepest part of the stream using the sand to slough off the dead skin cells , then lathering . when she let her hair down to wash it , it would reach her waist in long wavy streams of silver silhouetting her bodies natural curves. Letting the cool water of the slow moving stream wash over her , now

Manic nodded and cam over to take Alex's hand. "don't take too much I'm already half asleep" he admitted. "I think e should try to keep it close by for your sake if nothing else. Might be a good place to take Peter once he is saved to" he smiled.
took his hand into hers. "I dont need much...." she closed her eyes, calling forth the grotto. Manic would feel tingling in his hand. Much like an electrical charge. He would find only a tiny portion wad taken from him, if he noticed at all. "There...." she smiled as she let go. Standing uo and walking to the edge of the trees where the grotto revealed itself. "Yes I agree...its a good place to take Peter...." she looked about the Grotto. It was like nothing changed.
as she climed out , the water droplets would slide down her smooth and surprisingly young looking skin one of the perks of being a half elf. she decided to lay in the evening sun letting the heat wash over her body . closing her eyes just for a moment and letting go of everything that was on her mind. it wasn't too often she got these private moment along and so she relished them , she may even have lost track of time , just for a moment. but only a moment before she begain to put on her dry clothes . letting the tightness of them form to her slender but well proportioned body . She then talked to her ring , telling it about what had happened during the day , hopeing in some small way that her husband could hear her , and he was doing the same thing.
*nodded softly as he left. "I will. .." she retired to her own glade....leaving it open for them to enter if they wished
it wasn't long before abi came back to the camp , cleaned and refreshed , she actually choose to sleep in the carriage she would get more privacy that way. she fell asleep staring at her ring . as she did every night , waiting for some clue , that would point to her husband . She refused to cry about him. "Never complain, never explain" , She whispered to herself before her eyes closed.

When it came to the three traveling the night had passed without incident. Though Abi may experience an odd sort of dream in which she was surrounded by blue and purple myst. Morning came and Bastion woke up first to find Manic next to him. He growled and shoved the still sleeping man off of him, moving to head out of the tent in the all red outfit he had on hen he had passed out. He moved to the caravan to get a change of clothing only to spot Abi there asleep. He did his best not to disrupt her
abi was not asleep but laying very still , if one could hear very well they could hear her whispering.. telling the ring about her dream .right now the ring was her only connection she had left to her husband and it would take a while before she would be able to give that up ..they had spent many human lifetimes together. abi had arranged her blankets so that it felt as if her husband was right there snuggling up against her back nuzzling his face in her hair , she whispered to the ring as if her husband were right there. Abigail understood loss , worry , heartache of loosing someone you loved more then breath and slowly learning how to live on day to day with that loss in your heart. It was one reason why she wanted to save peter , so that his fathers , did not have to learn to live with loss.
Bastion could hear her whispering but didn't want to interrupt her in case it was some kind of prayer. He just took what he needed and left her be, taking a canister and the change of clothing. He moved off then away from the camp a bit, his passing not exactly quite do the large wings that got caught on everything. He would put the change of clothes off to the side and strip off the red under clothes that went with his armour, now standing there naked for the world to see if any happened to come his way. He put the clothing he had been waring aside as well and then picked up the canister, pouring out milk into his hand and rubbing it on his skin. this was the only ay he could bath as he had a rather bat reaction to water.
fiddles with the ring on her finger before slowly sliding out of the carriage , only to see bastion there stark naked and rubbing milk all over his body in front of goddess and everybody . she stood there frozen then more milk he poured to bath the more her jaw dropped and the wider her eyes got .. if bastion was the ego type, he would probably get a pretty big ego , abi then turned red as a tomato " what are you doing!!!!!" she squealed at the top of her lungs . as if he was doing the most shocking thing that one could possible do ...
Bastion didn't notice Abi as he had his back to her, so mostly what she saw would be ass, legs, wings and his head. The canister he was using seemingly never running out of milk as he poured some over his head to wash out his red hair and wet his feathers. His muscles glistening as he moved and almost seemed to pose as he cleaned each part of his body. He was startled as Abi spoke and turned to face her without thinking "hu? I'm having a bath.." he managed, forgetting with whom he spoke for a minute and leaving his naked body exposed

when he turned around abigail just completely lost it she couldn't speak ..she just stood there like she was watching a horror movie , her face turning even brighter , then it was before ..she tried to tell him to take a bath in private , everytime she spoke it came out stammers and she covered her eyes turned around when her voice finally did come around it was very screechy " do you have to bath in the middle of CAMP !!"
Bastion blinked, looking at her and aching her face go red, it was only then that her realized and he quickly brought his wings about him to cover himself. H watched her turn and cover her eyes as she now stretched at him. "Oh! I'm sorry.. I uh... I thought you were asleep and that I had more time.." he said to her and without much more to say moved off from the camp further so he was no longer in view though if she spoke he would still be able to hear her. "I'm really sorry Abigail" he shouted from his new bathing spot, ruffling his feathers to dry them and then preening them with his clawed hands.
was just shook her head still keeping her eyes coverd " it really doesn't matter how much time you have , you were in the middle of camp! " she huffed and puffed a little bit still obviously flustered .. " what would you do if I just started bathing in the middle of camp" she stoped a moment then before her could answer ..."wait don't answer that , Your ex lovers with Manic " she took a couple deep breaths trying to gain her composure " ran her fingers along the sides of her hair ..and then started laughing
Bastion finished bathing, now smelling like milk but feeling a lot more clean. He finished grooming his wings and then realized he had left his clothes back at the camp. He smirked a bit as she asked a question then seemed to answer it for him "I would look away just as you did and likely turn a much brighter red" h admitted, not bing completely like Manic. "I'm sorry My Lady.. I shall try to think before I bath next time.. Just um.. keep you ryes closed a moment.. I um forgot my clothes" he told her, hearing her laugh and wondering if the poor woman had snapped from seeing him naked.

it was the first time abi had laughed , let out a laugh a good long laugh in ages , and you could tell , because now she couldn't stop laughing , tears were starting at the corner of her eyes , her arms were across her stomach and she just couldn't stop laughing and the more she tried to stop and apologize...... the more she would laugh ..the more she tried to explain that she wasn't laughing at him , ......the more she couldn't stop laughing .....when she finally did calm down enough to to speak she was like " its okay ..hot shot " and then she just started laughing all over again . leaning against the carriage , trying to catch her breath now ..
He could hear her laughing still and wondered what was so funny. He looked down at himself and didn't think he was that funny looking. sure he had claws instead of nails and more teeth than any normal being should have but it was how he was born. when she started saying she was sorry in-between breathed and gasps he found himself laughing a bit too, though not as hard as her. "well ok then..." he chuckled and shook his head, walking back in to grab his clothed and only stoping for a minute to stare at the laughing woman before he was gone from sight again to get dressed. He was half way done when she called him hot shot. "hu?.. I'm afraid.. I don't understand.." he called back, putting on his black boots now that he had his black pants in place. He tied the yellow shirt into place around his torso and then finally came back into camp fully clothed, moving to put away his other set of clothes and the canister.
finally catching her breath she tried to explain the joke " your hot and red and you were naked ...hot shot " she started laughing again but not as hard more like chuckling ..then let out a long sigh " well two days in a row we have gotten off to quite the start " she looked down at her ring again she couldn't wait to tell her husband about his little adventure , and she was surprised they hadn't yet woken up the camp " i was going to go gather some berries to put in the oats for breakfast , did you want to come along " she still every now again would start chuckling and from now on , he would ever be known as not king bastion , but hot shot , to abigail
Bastion blinked, not following the joke. Though he would blush red when sh called him hot again. "ah.. yha" he said in embarrassment, looking down and running his hand through his red hair. He looked back up to her and he seems so much small than he had on that firs day. The intimidating figure gone and replaced by a simple man that just so happened to have wings on his back. He as a lot less intense and more calm too thanks to Abi's relaxing agent. He coughed and cleared his throat as she asked him to come with "uh... ok" he agreed, smiling a bit as she continued to giggle.

As they walked , she would explain to them where berries were mostly likely to grow, along the sides of roads the edges of fields and meadow margins..anywhere full sun was most attainable . as they passed different plants she point out there names , as they passed the stream , she point to the lemon grass ..and explained how you could harvest and use every single part of the cotton tails plants. finally they found black berry bush which was just as common and hardy as the raspberry she showed him how to pick the berry and avoid the thorns and explained to leave enough for the birds that were used to this bush being a food sorce , it was the end of season though , so the bush had been picked pretty clean .
Bastion walked with her, watching her and listening to her go on about plants. He was not as keenly interested but would listen none the less so as to not be rude. He would nodded when he though it was appropriate but she could see by the mostly confused look on his face that he was not as apt at plants as Peter was. "um.. ok.." being about as much as she got from him on the matter. "you really like plants... I guess that why you like my son so much hmm?" he asked her, looking to the bush where the berries should be growing.
nodded to him " peter and I have the same love for love for plants which gives us something in common , I have never met a person quite like him , " she goes on to tell him about there first and only meeting where , She has shown him all of his exotic plants that she had collected through the world .. and she had shown him the books , she had written through the years , including the house to manuals on how everyone can grow their own healing and herb garden . That was her first book ..then she explained about how she can taste dirt and tell what kind minerals it has in it. and what plants would best suited to grow where what fertalizers she needed to use to grow the most hardy plants . " I have never met a mind like peters and i can not see that mind rotting away, the true gardeners. the ones who don't need magic to accomplish something, You see i have built my life around never touching magic , until recently where i bought some little constructs to help me with my cultivation ...Being the only one besides my Handmaid , which stayed to tend our lively hood . " One might wonder why she spoke as if she were single and still have a wedding ring on her finger and spoke of her husband all the time
Bastion Smiled listening to her, it filed him with warmth to know Peter had found such a like minded woman. "Yes.... Peter always was very smart, right from the day he was made" he said it this without thinking and then realizing his mistake he went on. "oh!? little beings you say?" he said, changing topics just as quickly as her in hopes she might think he meant mad as in the usual way babies were made. "Well I'm glad that you could come. I just hope we can undo whatever was done to him.. though that woman told his legs are broken... Perhaps Vivi can fix that like she fixed Manic's eyes" he sighed heavily with hope.

nods to him she did not think anything of it when he said the day he was made she looked up at him having picked all the berried and made the way back to camp , since it was so early in the morning , she knew it would be awhile before the other would wake and would take a while for the oats to roll anyway , and to get soft in the water " I Can relate to your worry " she wanted him to know that " Thats the other reason why i came to save peter ..I have not seen my husband or my son in quite sometime , they went on a adventure to sea , and it has been severals years , with no return ..." her hand moved to her ring finger once more , as she shifted the berries " I know all hope is gone of ever finding them now .. and being a parent , i did not want the same fate to happen to manic , and now to you .. It is almost intolerable to live in that kind of pain everyday ." she picked up some lemon grass , on her way by and well as a few sprigs of mint ." that is why you must at all cost , be strong and never show your fear , or remorse , because it will never help or bring back your loved ones ..i learned to stop crying many years ago "
Bastion walked back to camp with her once she had her berries. he frowned as she told him he tale "I'm sorry Lady Abby and while I know what you say is true.. I'm a sensitive man... I feel hurt from Manic leaving us and now Peter has been taken too. I am trying to be strong but it seems to m that as fierce as I am you are far stronger than I gave you credit for at the beginning. Let me say now that I'm sorry I was so harsh and rude to you before.. that anger was misplaced" he said with all due respect and sincerity.
would not her head in respect " I accept your apology, King bastion " allhthough the name hot shot would go through her mind " I understand " and she did .." It is always hurtful, when a lover leaves you , to be with another, let me say this , that hurt will only fester and grow in your heart , and prevent yourself from loving others ..some loves are meant to stay and some loves are meant to go do not mourn over the loves that are not meant to stay , but rejoice , that for that time , it came to pass " abigail may have hinted to the fact that perhaps " I will tell you a story ..While i was courting my husband , another had wanted my affection as well, lets just say he had all things my husband did not...the things i thought i wanted " she sighed a little bit " but in the end i realized that my heart was most attached to my husband, and perhaps , the reason he disappointed me was , because i had expected things of him , that he could not deliver ..so it was my expectation , that had let me down , not anything he had done ." as the water started to boil she would pour the oats in " Manic has told me of his past exploits , and yes he did give his heart , body and soul to one , and the one was not you. but really would expect manic to be any other way then that ?"
Bastion smiled as she accepted his apology "Just Bastion is fine Lady Abigail" he said, not rally wanting to bother with titles. He sighed as she said she understood and while she could understand just a bit he knew she wouldn't understand fully until she could feel what he did. He chuckled a bit, sitting and watching her cook "it's different when you're bonded Lady Abigail. I would show you but I don't think you would let me.. " he said and rubbed at the back of his neck a bit. "when Me and Vivi first got together is was just the two of us.. but then Manic came along vying for her attention and instead of choosing she kept us both as fae are want to do. Still even back then we were bonded by the ties of fate and I soon came around to love him just as much as I loved her. I accepted his wondering ways and did not mind that he slept with almost every fay in he glade. It was the fact he left completely and cut us off that hurt so much. I can't begin to understand the reason why... I just know that even as I sit here I want nothing more then to kiss him again and hold him to my chest." he admitted, tears welling up in his eyes. He looked to her then "don't you tell him I said that though.. " he asked of her.

she gave him a gentle pat on the hand " NO it's probably for the best that i don't bond since thoughts of kissing your son have gone through my head once or twice , and that might be a bit awkward. " she winked at him trying to add a little humor " I do not tell other people , things they tell me in confidence you can be assured of that Bastion " she was hoping perhaps that he would be able to get a glimmer of hope of being happy with out manic , but things were not always so easy , she could sort of understand bonding , but as she had not experienced such and she would never fully know the experience and could comment no more on the subject . " I am sure he loved you as much as he knew how , when he bonded with you as much as he could love anyone at that point ..and i don't believe he loves you any less , when you decide to partake in matrimony, many things change . " it's a like a slave cannot serve two masters "
Bastion let her touch him, his skin very warm to the touch as h always ran hot. He flushed and coughed as she mentioned kissing his son. "yes.. you are right it could be..but still I can give you some idea.. it's not sexual at all mind" h blushed more deeply as he said this. He relaxed a bit as she did seem trust worthy. "I know.. I do.. I can feel his love for me even if it isn't as strong as it once was and more focused on Darla... " he trailed off, getting too upset to talk and just looking to the ground for awhile while composing himself. "you and Peter would make a good pairing.. I mean he's practically half plant" He said, deciding to talk about Peter and move on from talking about Manic
moved to pur two glasses of water , as she did so she crushed the leaves of the lemongrass and mint , then she thought of how he is made of fire " you do not drink water do you " she also thought of him bathing himself in milk when he talked of them being a good pairing noticing him changing the subject. " perhaps , I think peter is more interested in sewing his wild oats , at least , when i last met him .." she would not speak of the sexual tension ,they had , or the fact that he had accidentally kissed her neck and that alone felt quite erotic to her. . the fact that she had thought , she might even break her vow to her husband , even if it had been a husband she had not seen in years ."
Bastion looked up to her again and shook his head no "indeed I do not. I have an adverse reaction to water" he confirmed for her. He lofted a brow as sh told him Peter seemed more interested in just sewing his wild oats "so then... despite my efforts h has become more like Manic in the end." h heaved another sigh looking over to the tend where Manic still slept. "Should I wake him?' h asked her, almost wanting to wake Manic up just because he could.
laughed a little bit at him " Perhaps peter will settle down , but I think right now , he is, how would you say .... experimenting ?, Why else , would he be attracted to a middle aged half elf with silver hair " she smiled once more " IF you feel you could or should , I have a feeling it would give you sense of satisfaction to do so " when he spoke of waking manic " what do you drinking then , to keep your self hydrated ?

Bastion tilted his head considering her, looking no olde than 25 or so himself. "Because you are beautiful on the outside and the inside. You are smart and wise and were I single and met you before I may have even courted you myself for just those qualities. " he told her, getting up and getting vey close to the fire. He bent down and reached in to take out a still hot coal to pop into his mouth and eat. He laughed as she encouraged him to wake Manic "I'm starting to like you more and more." he smirked and stood to stretch himself out. " I get my liquids from eating pomegranates" He told her, going to grab one from the pack Manic had brought along and returning with a few to eat and drink from.
blushed a little bit when he spoke of how beautiful she was , it not an embarrassed blush , " thank you " Abi was always worried about her appearance. Her husband did not help with that either, as he encouraged her to keep herself as young as possible , because he was full elf, and did not want his woman aging faster than he would . when he took a coal into his mouth and then smirked she kind of rolled her eyes " Show off " She watched him eat his food , and she snacked on a few dried berries and drank her water with the fresh herbs that had been mashed in. " You know when i started my business, of making healing tonics , to the general public and free of charge , I started in forest much like this one...over campfires ....much like one , i had fires going from sun up to sundown . ...The first time my husband met me , i was walking on a road in the dark by myself alone in the middle of the night, To naive to know that danger could be lurking anywhere , sometimes i still with for the days. To think the everyone was attainable of good in their life, even those most vile evil of creatures had some good in them. Now i know different , and it changes your veiw on the world . Don't you think ?"
He was smiling now as eh called him a show off. He happily ate his food and chucked the pomegranate husks towards the tent where Manic was. " What? I'm not a show off.. I'm part phoenix, fire is my bread and butter.. quite literally at times" he shrugged and laughed. He went quite though as she told her story. "Well yes, experience does change your point of view on the world and I suppose Peter's experience has made him to turn out just like Manic. " he looked at her. "i do so hope he doesn't end up hurting you or I may have to kick his ass myself" he frowned a bit and tossed another husk at the tent.
Manic came out this time, his hair a mess and lined on his face from how he had slept on the pillow last night. "why so much talking? It's too early" he complained, the man at least wearing a hose coat over his outfit from the night before. He stumbled out as if half drunk and moved to sit in Bastions lap, pulling the others wing about him like a blanket "I'm cold" he whined.

arched a brow at manic , as he acted a bit like a toddler she even cocked her head a little to the side watching the two men . especially manic as he woke up she wondered how someone could actually miss that. she decided to play around with manic a little bit , and was talking to him in a Super extra cheery voice , full of sunshine and rainbows , and wished him a good morning , and talk about their morning so far of picking berries , and their philosophical conversations. She even offered him the water she had made with the herbs she gathered in the morning . " and did you sleep well manic !!!!!" she just kept talking to him , halfway winking at bastion so he would know what she was doing.
Bastion seemed to let the man do as he wanted for now, chuckling as Abi talked and watching Manic wince and try to hid from Abi in his wing. Manic groaned as she asked if he had slept well in a very loud voice. "YES I DID!!!" he shouted back, blinking wearily at the water. He gave Bastion a kiss on his check and moved to get off him, taking the food to go eat it away from Bastion . "Don't need t be spilling this on him... I prefer my grass green" he mumbled and glared at Abi.
Bastion just laughed at Abi's antics, it was good to get back at Manic. He looked over to Abi "Manic isn't a morning person" h told her and tossed a bit of pomegranate at the still half asleep man.
followed manic as he glared at her , for some reason now her defenses were down , and she playfully snuggled with manic , still talking in her cheery voice but now it was a baby voice added to it " Aww poow manic ,,are you not a mowning pewson..." she began to poke his sides a little bit tickling him , and then scrambled to get away and hide behind bastion because she was for sure there was gonna be back hand in there somewhere . and she knew he would get angry soon enough . they were in for a long journey so they might as well get comfortable with each other , just incase she saw one of them naked by accident again.

Manic found himself being snuggled by Abi and blinked in confusion. He grumbled at her as she talked in baby talk and poked his sides. "No.. manic is no a morning person" he snarled and moved to shove her away but she as already scrambling away to go hide behind Bastion. He got up his eyes glowing and tossed his hose coat aside along with the bowl. "Oh I see how it is" he said and moved to chase after her, trying to grab and tickle her if he could. Bastion just watched this all and laughed harder than he had laughed in a long time.
was laughing as well she couldn't help it. she ran around bastion in circles as manic tried to grab a hold of her and he would eventually and she would get tickled she would fight him off using tactics as sister would , which were a little more viscous.. ( hope that is spelled right ) she was still careful though as she didn't want to hurt anyone ..she screamed out for bastions help. " you just said you would defend my honor !"
Manic gave chase and would catch Abi up in his bare arms, holding her against his naked chest since he had cast his house coat aside. He would tickle her but not much else, smiling and chuckling a bit as she tried to get away. Bastion just sat there and let them play until she was asking him to defend her honor. He rolled his yes a bit but got up. "ok Manic, enough is enough. Put the Lady down" he said. -- Manic just chuckled "Make me feather duster" and carried Abi off with him towards his tent, the fun suddenly turning serious it seemed.
for some reason knew she was perfectly safe, She knew that Manic has promised his love and affection for only one women and that bastion would never let anything happen to her , she did however know a little bit about defence and how to protect herself she took her heel and kicked him knee lightly her elbow would jab him in the jaw , and then her fist would immediately go down into his nether regions ..just light taps, she of course wouldn't hit him " You could at least ask first , damn barbarian Fae.." she was ready to hit harder if need be but she didn't think she would have to that " come one mr i will kick his ass myself "
Manic was taken by surprise as abi struggled and kicking him in the knee making him stumble and let go of her, just in time to get hit in the jaw by her elbow that had him back stepping. Then the hit to his groin brought an end to his gam as he crumpled to the ground holding himself, as even a light tap there as all it took. He whimpered from the ground "owww!"
Bastion watched all this even as he was moving towards them to save Abi from Manic. He broke out laughing even harder as Manic hit the ground. "Oh... my.. goddess" he cracked up, falling to the ground himself as he was laughing so hard and holding his sides. "she.. she kicked your ass.. hahahaha. .. all hail the king... hahahah" he howled in laughter.
smiled at him she did feel sorry that she had tapped him down there " Just because one doesn't believe in violence doesn't mean one does not know how to defend herself " she did help him up and she didn't taunt , she figured bastion was doing that enough on his own , they all needed this they had been entirely too serious this entire trip . and she was sure they were about to head into some very not so funny territory and see some not so funny things. and have some not so funny conversations . so it was good to laugh right now
Manic just lay there a while longer until it stoped hurting before he would take her hand to get back up. "I have to admit I have never been taken out like that before. That was mighty impressive Abigail. Though just what are you two doing up so early?" he asked, glaring at Bastion 'Ok, ok, stop your laughing you fool" he growled.
Bastion continued to laughed even as Manic talked. He had needed a good laugh and Abi gave him what he needed. After a bit he would stop and get up to dust himself off, coming over to hug them both "thank you both I needed that" he said with all honesty, kissing each on the cheek.

when he talked about being up so early the episode early , brought about the episode from earlier today and she started laughing again " oh nothing bastion was just being a hotshot " with the she walked away and checked on the the breakfast porridge. smiling at the two , what was it about the faye that made abi feel carefree and without thought. She felt young again " indeed it was"
Bastion tuned red as as Abi called him hot shot again and let her go from the hug so she could tend to the oatmeal. He smiled though and went to join them by the fire.
Manic Let bastion hug him and laughed as Abi called Bastion hot shot "no, no Abigail. His name is feather duster" he corrector her, calming down and dusting himself off and coming to sit. He too heard the mouse call but it seemed Bastion already had it under control so he left it.

The noise drew her from her grotto as it opened up and allowed her to exit. She wore a white flowing dress...very fae like vit yet nearly feathery like a down of a bird. She smiled seeing the three."Seems like a very good morning indeed..." she comented.

The three adventures sat about the fire just relaxing and laughing when Alex would come out of hr groto to meet them.
Manic would be the first to look over to the woman from where he sat looking a bit annoyed but otherwise fine. "How much energy is it going to take to move your glade again? We should be moving camp shorty to make our way towards the Temple of light. It's going to be at least one more stop before we reach the temple." he would explain. "I guess wha I'm asking is there anyway you could per chance go ahead with one of us to the temple with your glade and set up a cam there so that when the caravan does catch up we can rest and then look for Peter?" he asked her, trying to think of a way to do this that would put the groto closest to where the charm was leading them with the least amount of draw on himself and without having to make Abi sick as she was proving to be a more valuable member of their little team
abigail would smile brightly at Alex and wish her a good morning , and almost giggled at manic as he was still licking his wounds from the little skirmish they had " I have some fruit stew boiling and fresh tea made if you would like to sit down and have a little breakfast ?" the turned her head to listen to manic as and he and alex would work things out for the grotto
Looked to Manic. "Moving my glade now is an easy task. It becomes harder the farther away I am from it..." ruby hues look to him. Stoic...unemotional. "I can easily head to thd Temple, but to make it faster I can just out the entire caravan in the grotto and move everything. ...if I only knew where that was.." she looked to Bastion then Abi. Offering a soft smile to them. "Breakfast sounds good. I had a bit of honeydew in the Glade.."
Manic shook his head "No.. The thing is that Abi gets ill around too much magic. For all we know e could arrive where we need to go and be heading strait into a fight. If that is the case then we will need abi to be well rested and not giggling like a school girl from too much magic" he explained. "Look I'll go with you and lave Hot stuff there with miss muffet and it will all work out in the end. you will see" h smiled at her. He noticed the giggle from Abi and stuck out his tongue at her. If nothing else going with Alex would get him away from Bastion and her and maybe even allow him some time to sleep in.
Bastion laughed "good morning Alex, do come and eat" he smiled and gave a wink to Abi. At being called hot stuff by Mani he would toss a bowl at him "knock it off." he growled a bit, his face blushing brightly as Alex had missed the event of earlier and thus missed out on seeing Bastion naked.

abigail eyes lit up " honeydew sounds wonderful ! " just the name sounded wonderful to her " does the name itself just make your mouth water not just the fruit , the dew of honey " abigail loved words i guess it was a part of her being alchemist she looked to manic. " keep sticking that tongue out a bird might poop on it " and i am not scared of spiders , not do i eat curds ..so your insult has thus failed .. " she put a blanket around him and remided his of his whine " iimmm cooollld " she then looked to alex " I am afraid he is right , magic affects me as if i may have taken one to sips from the wine bottle " it was unfortunate but abit had never used magic "
chuckled softly. She was still kinda in the glade. "Here I'll show you..." she formed her hand in a ball and a ripe honeydew formed in her hand. "This is a honeydew. Its a melon...green and sweet on the inside, similar to a cantaloupe." she walked over to Abi, giving it to her. "My glade can make any food or drink you desire...its a refuge after all..." she smiled. "Its a shame that you can't be around magic too much...."she frowned the. Looked to Manic. "Yeah that could work. Then you can show me where to go. I never been there before." she blinked seeing Bastion blush. "Did..I miss something?"
Manic growled at Abe as she said his teasing of her failed. "Sure thing miss muppet" he said again, not seeming to care if it failed or not."as for the birds pooping on my tongue Feather duster there is too big for that" he chuckled. He looked up as she put the blanket on him and teased him for saying he was cold earlier and once she had sat down again he would get up and come to sit in her lap. "Oh look everyone I found the perfect chair" he said in an exaggerated tone. He watched Alex make the food and shook his head "ummm that was made using magic wasn't it?" he asked, not fully sure himself if she had made it using magic or simply summoned it there and thus tainted it with magic. As despite his complaining he was still looking out for Abi and making sure their healer didn't get sick. " as for the temple it should be easy enough to guid you to but come and eat first." he smiled at her.
Bastion watched Alex and had to admit her magic was quite grand, even if he really didn't even know the woman outside of what Manic had told him. H laughed at Abi's antics and at the way Manic was behaving, the interaction reminding him so much of how thy could be with Vivi around. Abi was a bit like Vivi he thought, just less fairy and more conservatively dressed. "No... no you did not miss a thing" he lied, not being fae and fully able to lie through his teeth if he chose.
knew what a honey dew was , but she listened and nodded to alex as she explained it , she did respond in an odd way , plus she didn't think alex knew that she a master gardener or healed precisely with plants and food . all melons had very high nutrition levels , plus they were excellent to keep hydration levels high as manic sat on her , she was squashed and tried to push him off her , the only reason she won that fight is because she had the ability to defend herself , " I Have never tried to eat something that was made by magic , i do know being in it energy field will affect me , i think i will have a slice, we can test this theory in the field ...after all where we are going , we have have no idea the food they have ..maybe where peter is all there will be is magic food , and it will help us prepare for that , "
smiled laughing softly at Abi's antics with Manic. "No. Its not made from magic. The Grotto has a supply of food. I nearly summon what I want. Its easy, anyone can summon what they want. In fact...im not sure how much is stored and grown." she admitted. She walked over, sitting inbetween Bastion and Abi.
She didnt know anything of Abi so how would she know that she knew about plants. She nodded to his explaination about her not missing anything. She then spied his feathers..."your feathers....are beautiful...." she complemented him as she relaxed by them. She looked Abi "you're right....i hope he's okay...." she looked concerned.
Manic snickered but wouldn't budge as she tried to get him off her lap "but i'm cold" he pouted and giggled a bit. He knew he was being a pain and would get off her lap to go sit on Bastions. "that's ok.. Bastion's Lap is warmer anyways" he sighed a bit, resting his head on the other mans chest and finally calming down a bit as he closed his eyes and seemed to be dozing. "ya, ya.. try the fruit..get to know one another.." he waved them both off now napping in Bastions lap.
Bastion looked back and forth from Abi to Alex and realized they didn't in fact know each other all that well. Abi had magic and Abi did not but she had skills. "I think it would be wise to see if the fruit bothers you Abi. You are quite right in thinking we could be going into an area of high magic." he agreed, letting Manic settle into his lap and petting the man like one might a cat or overly large dog in their lap. He looked to Alex' your glade is most impressive" he told her. "But you know I think Manic is right. we should take this time to get to know each other. It could help us learn to fight together better. So Alex how about it. Tell us about you. What magic do you use? what are your strengths and weaknesses? where do you come from and why have you come on this trip?" he asked, ken to learn more about her and Abi.

was about to grab a stick and poke manic in the butt , when he moved , he was lucky ..as she ate a piece of honeydew , it was very sweet and she would compliment alex on her melons and how well they grew in her grotto , she rolled her eyes at manic as he hopped in the lap of bastion .." we all know manics weakness seems to be that he is not a morning person ..let's hope no one attacks us in the morning " she snickered a little bit and then waited on alex , she actually turned to face her , she really did want to get to the woman ..alex was very pretty, and seemed to have great deal of working with magic , which abi was very curious about
nodded, blushing. "Thank you. I strive very hard to make things perfect for everyone's. Enjoyment. ..." she smiled to her. Then looked to Bastion and Manic, looking to them fondly. "Peter and I....are a lot a like...." she smiled. She lifted her hand and wildflowers sprouted all about them. As she worked more, trees sprouted, vines grew until they were shielded. From the world around them. Fruit grew on the trees and water appeared running like a stream aroind them. She smiled softly letting it linger for a moment before she closed her hand and everything reverted back to what was before as if nothing happened. "The plants come to my call...they're my friends...." she smiled blushing...."and....well...When I heard peter was missing...I had to come to help. I...well..." she looked to Manic. "I told him I loved him...but...he was too hurt from his last relationship. .." she looked a tad hurt. But still blushed from her admission.
Manic continued to nap in Bastions lap, Bastion chuckling at Abi's words. "If there was a fight he would be awake. H just gets lazy when there isn't something to punch or screw" he teased and poked Manic in the side. He watched Alex's display of magic and had to gasp a bit as it was quite a grand show. He frowned a bit as she told him about loving Peter as he had not known that. "yes well.. Peter is a rather sensitive man. But I'm sure he will come around and figure out what he wants sooner or latter. He is only a teen by fairy standards even though he looks a man." he smiled. I think your magic will come in quite useful." he told her. "As for Manic here.. well... we both have fire magic but being the kind of hell he cam summon imps. While his fairy side let him feed off anger to grow strong and he has sleep and dreaming magic.. He is very powerful and one of a kind. " he sighed fondly as he stroked the mans hair. "Manic's weakness is cold forged Iron and min is water.. so.. please don't go getting me wet.. it could make me ill and even kill me." he said and then looked to Abi as if to say she should go next.
had nothing so gaand with magic , and she sighs , things were going to really awkward between abi and alex and really quick she almost didn't want to respond now but well all eyes were on her " Well i am healer , i work specifically with plants , using no magic , i heal based on the bodies own system of healing itself , I have spent my life perfecting plant species , I have also published books from , how to plant your own garden to basic field guides on what grows where . I also make potions and tonics , and have specialized a way to getting the most out of each plant for those tonics without destroying the structural integrity of plant itself. I use the entire 4 senses to heal someone , sight smell taste and touch .
would explain the how they 5 senses worked together , how she had specifically made blankets made from the softest material , and how depending on her patient and sickness what smell would be used , why she was always cleaned and well kept , because that would be sight , how her clinic , would have various pictures on the wall that would make a person fell relaxed ..smell would depend on the sickness and taste would be nutrition , and touch would be certain spots on the body naturally that would work with the body's on chemistry to speed certain healing process up and also heal the mind after trauma " i am here because peter had requested that he wished to learn from me , and i believe that no great mind should go to waste ., we bonded in my garden as we talked about plants and how they are grown , he is actually quit educated and i am not sure why he thinks he can learn from me , but peter in just that short time had become a good friend ." she left out the part about liking peter in another way , because well she was a lady , and really she had already mentioned to bastions what she thought and she was reminded though not intentionally that peter was young , very young

nodded listening to Abigail, leaning towards her as she told her of what she knew. "Amazing..." she gasped softly. She smiled softly "I can tell I can learn a lot from you." She looked to her softly, totally oblivious to what they held in common with Peter. She looked to Bastion.. Seeing his frown. "I had a talk with Manic...he said that maybe...it was infatuation with him. I have never been with anyone before him and...well..I've been on this plane for a long long time." She looked young...possibly 25....but her eyes held wisdom beyond her years. "I can also read the earth...." she ran her hand along the ground. "I can feel the vibrations and I am very sensitive to it. Any changes....will upset the rhythm..." She looked towards her glade. "And you saw how I am far from my glade. I can be fine away from it for a while as Peter had me in the Night Haven for a while when my Glade was under an attack...." She didn't say anything about the heart.
She looked towards them as she tucked a white hair behind an ear, Ruby eyes looking to them. "Anything that can harm plants can harm me......And potentially kill me....I can deal with it for a while like flame...but...." she looked to the campfire if there was one...."I'm not afraid of it....and can be near as I am now...."
Bastion would listen to Abi with interest. He found what she had to say rather interesting. "Well I can see why Peter has made friends with both of you and even though you don't know magic I wouldn't sell yourself short Abi. If I get hurt it will be up to you to heal me as I can't heal myself. Magic is pretty much self healing unless cold iron is used in which case he may your help then too. " h smiled at her. "Peter is a smart kid and was always interested in learning new things. So I imagine he was curious to learn the none magic way of doing things to see if there was something you did that he did not know about." he smiled and looked back to Alex. "you're magic will indeed come in handy in the fighting and may even help with Peter as well if he is hurt" he sighed, again feeling upset about the prospect of seeing his son with broken limbs, not knowing they had been healed. He bust out laughing as she said she had talked to Manic "you mean you actually listened to Manic's advice on love? oh dear..." he sighed. "look I don't know hat you feel for Peter but as you say he doesn't feel the same for you. Will that change? Not even the gods could answer that... but then.. neither of you really know much about him other than he likes plants and you both seem to like plants just as much as him" he said this not to be mean or accusatory but more because he wanted to see how much they did actually know about his son.
would admit to such she really didn't know much about peter , " you are right , peter is just a friend to me , mostly , He did seem rather interested in other things as well , and I won't deny that for a moment, i almost fell for him as alex did, " he was right she had acted like a fool around peter , she was much older had more experience, it had given her quit the thrill to think of an affair , but now she was sure she would not think more on it " my weakness is that i am a pacifist , I do not fight unless it is that i defend myself , i will not provoke anything " She thought about what she did know about peter , just about his last relationship " I do know your sons love for his parents as well, he spoke highly of both you . and his mother.."
nodded softly listening to Bastion speak. Then to Abigail when she spoke. "Should I have not listened to Manic, I mean...he's Peter's father right?" She sighed softly. "Before I met Peter, I was dormant in my Grotto. Something awoke me...I'm not sure what....I met Peter as a tree. I felt his life force in the Tree. His heart....was breaking I felt...I had to save him...." She spoke softly looking to him. "I met Gwen and she helped me return him to his normal self. I went with him when he encountered the demon, Amika...." Bastion then asked about if he doesn't feel the same about her. "Then I will still continue to care for him. It may hurt but his safety is my number one priority right now. I...I dont know why. Perhaps it is from infatuation or love...what ever it maybe....I admit, we didn't talk much about his past. I hope I can learn more from his words although I got a chance to meet his fathers. And from what I see, Peter has been raised by fine men." she smiled softly looking to them. Although it was a bit comical to see Manic curled up in Bastion's arms. "We did have a discussion before.....about him being concerned about his...exploration. I admitted to him that it didn't bother me once to see him travel around to others. We are not bonded. Even if we were, if he wanted to.....I would be fine with it. I would even trust him with my Heart if it came to that one day...." She spoke of the heart of the Grotto. Not something lightly to be given away.
Bastion took both women into consideration. He was Peter's father and cared greatly for his son and his future but it wasn't his place to tell him whom to love. Both girl shared n Peter's love for plants and could teach the boy a thing or too this was true. Alex knew Peter for longer and yet was still coming to learn of his past and who he was as a person. Not that there was anything wrong with that h just found it a bit rushed with how quickly she had fallen for his son. Maybe Manic as right and it as just infatuation. Both women were pacifist too which h knew would suit Peter quite well as the boy much rather have his nose in a book than throwing a punch any day. He looked away from them both back to manic and rested his head on top of the others. "I'm not sure if you should listen to Manic.. and yes he is Peter's father.. in a way..It's rather complicated.. I need time to consider" h sighed as if he in fact had sway in whom Peter would be allowed to date and being that Peter was a prince he very well might have to give way to the ruling of his father and king.
abigail smiled " I am lady and one thing I will not do is compete" she would not be here if she did not care for peter's safety. , she was very straight forward and always had been with peter , she also did not give her heart away so easily, however she would also not be treated as a plaything either , nor would she abide by peter laying his roots down wherever he felt like- she had some pride in herself , her healing aspects coming back , she would allow peter the time to heal his heart , and then if he wished to be gentleman next to a lady , he could do so , but she would not be a lady next to a boy . she was old she knew just how he was comparing and his questions what he was doing , she had been and done all those things with his children " I Know your love for peter, it seems my case peter sought me for my love of plants and my education , and i believe his interest besides learning was misplaced, i can tell by the look on your face you are trying to decided who would be best for Peter i am more then likely widowed I have ..had one son and three daughters and you can assure yourself , i will not longer be part of the equation..i am friend who found another friend in our love for plants ..my coming out days are over Bastion , i am need a much more straightforward man , than peter could ever be right now " and that would settle that

looked to Bastion as he spoke. Taking in his words. studying as if he was something to study and unlock. Then Abi spoke and she couldn't help but to blush scarlet...."Um....." she spoke softly nothing but a bundle of nerves and emotions. What she said made sense. Was she being careless too? She tended to follow her heart and in ways, she was way less experienced than Abi was in the relationship department. She was more fae than anything in a sense. "We should be going soon....If we are to be rescuing Peter...." she stood slowly. She hadn't eaten throughout their talk about everything but it didn't matter much. She couldn't eat right now anyway. "we should get Manic inside the Grotto....I just...need to figure out where I'm going..." She looked to her Grotto, still flushed.
Bastion nodded to Abi "I understand my Lady and I hop you and Peter will be good friends" he smiled, and almost seemed to relax a bit as the last thing he wanted was for anyone to be hurt by Peter or for Peter to suffer any more hut from others. H chuckled a bit "No.. I don't think his interest besides learning were misplaced.. still I appreciate you input." he said, sounding more and more like a father concerned for his child than anything. "though I do agree that my son may not b quite up to filling the roll of a strait man... he takes after Manic a bit too much I think" he frowned at this and then almost scowled at Alex. "I know w need hast but we are not going until you eat something. Abi went through a great deal of trouble to make food so I suggest you have some so we can get going." he gently woke Manic then and got the man to get off of him so that he could get up. The more Alex stared at Bastion the more it may seem to her that there was a darkness behind all that red and gold. His eyes also showed an age far past his younger looks. If he were in a better mood he might even be laughing a bit at the situation as Abi and Peter being matched wasn't to unlike him and vivi. Hell even when it came to Manic Bastion was robing the cradle, being older than them both combined and vivi was already quite old herself. If he knew of Abi concern about age difference he wouldn't understand it. But then that was often the case for those who lived much longer lives than the average mortal man. He would say no more for now though and just start to pack up the camp.
abi would also say no more on the subject she was not so relaxed now. she packed up her tent ..it was true though she was long past her coming out days , and as far as experience abi only knew of her relationship with her husband , and he has been a great man. provided her a home and supported her endlessly when it came to starting her healing education . She checked to make sure her potions were still packed correctly and put away her traveling alchemist table . " no its fine she can eat as she travels she is right we need to keep going , besides the porridge will keep , because of the way it is made " she waited just a moment to see if she would eat , if she did she wait to pour it into a traveling container. she adjusted her clothes and adjusted her hair , and sat in the front seat of the carriage ready to go .. she sighed rather annoyed that she placed in that position to be begin with sitting in front of a father being compared to another woman like she was some love sick school girl , she was anything but , that would be the last time , that would happen .
nodded softly. Bastion was right. "You're right. I do need to eat. I wont be worth anything to Peter's safety if I'm dying from hunger." she chuckled softly, of course she was joking. She would go back to the fire and would make up a small bowl and eat. The porridge made her feel warm...ready for the day. Soon she was finished. "Thank you. That was delicious." she smiled to Abi as she would help them dismantle the camp. She still had a little bit of color upon her cheeks but the discussion was over for now. She wouldn't press or bring up again. They all knew each other now. Enough to help out when the time came. Now they had to focus on Peter. She couldn't help though to look to Bastion from time to time. She sensed his darkness. It intrigued her for some reason. But now wasn't the time to be delving into that matter. That was for a story of another time.
She would go to the edge of her Grotto, Opening up the entrance as her glade came into view...
Bastion had done it again, he had offended Abi, and yet he didn't realize fully that he had. He finished packing and smiled as it seemed Alex would at least eat properly and see the sense in getting nourishment in her before taking off. He was glad Abi made a traveling bowl for the woman too. Once everything was cleaned up and put away Bastion put out the fire with a simple wave of his hand and then climbed up to sit next to Abi. "See you at the temple" he called to Manic and Alex and then they were off
Manic was still mostly dozing when Bastion removed him from his lap. The man not helping at all with the packing and in fact just curling up to nap further on the ground for a bit. He didn't even stir to wave them off and would be laying there on the ground snoring in no time. He truly was the interesting sort as here he was sleeping while others ran around trying to save his son.
_would take the reigns as he bastion climbed in next to her , she would be mostly silent , She was skilled when it came to horses it would seem the carriage would jump off to it start , heading towards their next camp at the temple of light. she would not talk during the trip ..the only noise she would make was that when she should grab a piece of dried fruit to snack on . she left the bag open if bastion cared for any. not only had he offended abi , he will have made it nearly impossible for peter to get anything out of abi beyond academia ..if there is anything that Makes Abigail clam up , it is being made to look like a fool. and unknowingly Bastion had done just that , Lucily she had not even kissed peter that day , even though he wanted one . she had kept part of reputation in tact

waved to them as they left. She then turned to Manic who was asleep. "Comeon...wake up...we gotta go save your son....You can sleep in the grotto, but you need to tell me where I'm going so I dont send the grotto some place very dangerous...like a volcano..." she joked as she knelt by his side, trying to gently shake him awake. "Comeon, Manic..." she spoke as her hair drifted from her shoulder and hung down framing her face
Manic grumbled but would eventually wake up, stumbling just far enough to go into the glade before laying back down again. He was feeling more tired than normal and he figured it as because had not fed off his wife in awhile. Ah well when the fighting began he would have hat he needed and wake up more fully. He gave Alex the directions but then lay back down to sleep until they arrived where they needed to go
nodded softly as she got the directions. She felt the earth and soon they were just outside the Temple. Just as if they just passed Go and Collected $200. She looked to Manic as she knelt by his side. Calling to the plants to cover him for comfort if he wished. "Is there something I can do?" she asked him, unknowning why he was so tired.
Manic looked up from the plant bed she had made for him, not quite seeming his more energetic self. "I just need some fuel.. you know.. emotions..Human food is good for my health and body but energy wise I feed on emotions and soles... " he explained, turning over to look at her."Alex..what if Peter is dead...?" he asked seemingly out of nowhere but with true concern.
nodded understanding. "Any particular emotions you prefer?" Then he looked to her, asking the what if....Her eyes widdened. "I....I hope not...if he is.....who ever harmed him will wish they were never born!" she spat with such venom, actually showing anger. "My poor sweet Peter.....I swear it.....we'll save him..." she looked to Manic, shaking now with anger as a tear came down her cheek at the thought of him being dead. It never crossed her until Manic spoke of the possibilty...."He's a fighter...He wont die...He'll suffer I'm sure but he wont give up. He knows we're coming..I just know it..." her fists were balled up in her lap as her knees were close to his right side where she was sitting...
Manic wasn't surprised at all by her anger and had perhaps asked his question knowing that it would get hr angry and give him hat he needed so as to at least wake up a bit more. He drank it in and began to wake up more, moving into a sitting position. "anger.. and that was quite enough for now" h smirked a bit, part of him wondering if she would smack him for purposely being bit mean. "Thanks for the ride and the food. Now lest see if we can't get a better lock on my son hmm?" he smiled and got up to move, letting her follow if she wished as he followed the charm to the last spot Peter had been. there as no sign of him though some signs of the scuffle from that night could still be seen including a bit of blood and some torn bits of cloth from Peter's clothing
her eyes widdened as he had worded it to get a rise from her on purpose. But he seemed to be getting better so she pushed it aside for now. But she did give his shoulder a small punch for that. It didn't hurt of course..."Yes...Let's find him." she followed him as he used the charm to lock on the last place. She knelt down, seeing the dried blood. Her finger resting upon a droplet as she closed her eyes. "Yes...its Peter's...Its a bit old...I can't say how many days...." she spoke as she looked up to him
Manic felt the punch and just smirked. "harder" he chuckled but h soon stoped laughing as he looked over the scene. "this isn't good.. I don't s any tracks leading off from here though.. so where could they have gone?" he asked, looking to hr as sh found some blood "Peter.." he frowned, now somewhat regretting his tasteless joke.He looked up and saw the damage in the trees "looks like whoever took him had wings.. but what I don't understand is that the char is just kinda going nuts. Like Peters energy isn't far off but I don't see him. you don't think h is a tree do you?" he asked

laid her hand on the ground. closing her eyes as she felt the signature. Trying to figure out if she can sense where they had taken him. "I dont sense any of these trees as Peter but....I dont think he is one right now....His....signature is a bit different as a tree. its hard to describe. She would search, using the earth's song to see if she could find a direction to go.
Manic looked over to Alex with concern on his face. He wasn't sure what to do now. The charm was leading here and nowhere else but Peter was not here. Alex would search but find nothing but traces of Peter's energy that would lead them to other areas here the fight took place but would not help them to find Peter. If anything it would just make Manic more worried as he could see that there had been a struggle and one his son had obviously lost. "whoever they are they had wings.. could it be that they took him to some city in the clouds?" he asked craning his neck to look up but he couldn't make out any kind of city.
searched and searched but was unable to find a trace leading to the direction. She removed her hand with a defeated sigh as she looked to Manic as he spoke. "We will have to wait for Bastion as he's the one with wings..or I can make a...a beanstalk ot somrthing and we can get hoisted up to the cloud to test your theory. .." she slowly stood. Looking to where he looked. She seemed unsure....
Manic frowned when Alex said they would have to wait on Bastion but then laughed as she mentioned making a beanstalk. "Well ok then Jack. what are we waiting for? Let's Climb a bean stalk" he chuckled.[/span][/p] laughed softly. "Climb? Why climb when we can ride.." she grinned as she traced a wide circle around them. "Ughn!" she grunted. As the ground trembled as a gigantic stock arose from the ground. Where they stood was flat like a sunflower, minus the petals.
After a few moments they were higher than the clouds. She panted smiling. "Wow...I..actually did it....didnt think i could." she chuckled. "Now we have a bird's eye view....let's see if we can spy Peter's location." she looked to Manic with a proud grin. Manic watched Alex work wondering what she was doing at first but then the plant grew and he fell due to the sheer acceleration of the thing. He started gasping for air about half way up, the change in temperature in the air making him cold so that by the time they reached the clouds Manic was out cold, his body slowly starting to turn blue
paled seeing him on how he reacted. "Oh my gods...im so sorry..." immediately lowered the stalk to an easier altitude so he can breathe and a warm thermal to warm him. "Are you alright?" she shook in worry. "Im sorry I got carried away...oh my gods...I hope I didnt just kill Peter's father!" she felt stupid. She didnt take in account for altitude. It was odd...it didnt seem to affect her at all...
Manic didn't respond to Alex and she would find that not only was he passed out but he was no longer breathing. If she touched him she would fide him cold and unresponsive. began to breathe heavily in panic. "Oh my gods!" she cried out, her voice echoing down below as she reverted the stalk back to their previous location on the ground. "Manic! Manic?!" she tried to revivd him. The plants responding to her panic and enclosing them around in safety. She couldn't see anything but Manic as she worked to trying to rouse him
Manic didn't move as the plants wrapped him up. Her attempts so far at reviving him failing depending on what it was she was doing to try to bring him around again. His chest didn't move and his eyes stayed closed, his body limp and lifeless if anything moved him began to think. "What did he say he needed...energy?" she growled. Mustering up anger she felt for herself. "WAKE UP!!" she shouted as she took him by his shoulders shaking him. She trembled. "Bastion!" she called out if that failed. She began to go into a panic. "Come on! W..wake up..." her chest began to glow blue like the heart that they got from that creature they found in her glade. The plants didnt wrap them up, more like surrounded them. Her hands moved to his chest. Pressing like cpr although she had no clue that she was doing that. She was still glowing blue from her heart of her glade Manic still did not respond as it was not energy he was lacking. Bastion also didn't show up when called as he was not the kind of demon that could just be summoned at a whim. As she finally started CPR she would notice the charm about Manic's neck and recall that Manic wore it to block him from felling Bastion, so if she took it off she just might get Bastions attention. *remembered what Manic told her about the gem. She took the necklace off. Wrapping it about her hand as she continued. The inside of the plant wall glowed a blue from her light. "Come on...I'm sorry...p..please..." she panted shaking as she was hyperventilating herself with sheer worry. The plants tightened up around the outside. Manic's chest moved in time with her hands but CPR was not something that worked right away. It could take hours to get him breathing again especially since she didn't know what she was doing.

Bastion didn't realize at first that he had offended Abi but as the silence dragged it finally kicked in. He looked to her then, knowing they had at least one more night of camping before they would even reach the temple. Sure he could just leave it as she seemed to have switched geas to being completely professional and was no longer having fun and joking around. "what did I do this time?" he asked, clearly not getting that his words and the way he had talked to her had made quite the fool out of the woman.
Abigail would just look at him " You were comparing me to another woman , asking us questions seeing which one came up with best answer ..I do not appreciate being unknowingly being placed into a competition, did you enjoy making me foolish ? did you enjoy the game as you used seemingly innocent questions a a way to make alex and i compete over your son , did that bring you enjoyment? " she became a little more venomous in her speech as she spoke " Very funny i am sure and one thing i have learned let me tell you this , as i have three children of my own , sometimes they just have to learn on their own . heal on their own , if we try to control their lives , then we are no better than , the people we try to protect them against " she reminded of Sunny her first daughter , how she had tried to control her so much , that at one point she almost broke her spirit though bastion was not nearly so strict as abi
Bastion blinked for a minuet as she explained. "I... I.." he struggled to find the words. "It wasn't meant to be a game... I wasn't trying to make you compete... I just .. I don't want to see him get hurt again. I don't want to hear about him turning into a tree or worse dying again. I can't stand by and watch that happen.. " he said in retort. "I wasn't trying to be funny... or make a joke out of either of you." he grumbled at his words and intentions being misunderstood. He listened to her words about controlling too much and just sighed. "I... I know.. I know... I just.. after everything he has been through.. I just." he hung his head into his hands. "I'm sorry.. I .." he didn't know what else to say to her. He could keep explaining but h knew she was right was the problem and yet much like he couldn't let go of Manic he couldn't quite let go of Peter either and let the boy fly off from the nest so to speak.
would sigh , after listening to him falter over his words , she can see that he did so unknowingly " an apology would suffice not stuttering words and explanations, I wasn't ready for my first sunny to leave the nest either , and boy did she fight me , we eventually made up , but i realized all i did for sunny was break her heart...and i think i did that more times , then any man could have done and only we know our children best we know what buttons to push , how to say thing to get out way ,, and so that pain lingers far more , then any lover could do "
Bastion nodded "I am sorry once again Lady Abi" he said calmly. "I am older than old but aside from Orin, who was always more Manic's than mine, Peter was the first child I have even had to deal with. As I have said many times before Peter is smart and always has been from the very first day. And while he certainly looked like Manic he always seemed to favour me more. I've never had anyone look up to me like that before as if I was so much more than just a man trying to do his best. Incapable of flaw or mistakes. I'm sorry I upset you and compared you to Alex. It just... well I'm sure you know as you say you tried to do the same... I just hope Peter doesn't hold any ill will against me" he frowned a bit as he wondered if he had really done right by his son all these years.
accepted his apology " The other thing our children are capable of is forgiving us perhaps more than they should .."she smiled at him
Bastion smiled a bit "I can only hop he has forgiven me for my transgressions. Though he has hardly ever complained to me about how I chose to raise him so far. The only problem he has had recently is jus dealing with his first heart break and now trying to figure out his place in this world" he sighed a bit "but as you say.. in time he may figure things out on his own and I well I need to learn to let him do that" he frowned a bit at his own words.
She let a little smile at him in return it was a hard thing to do ..to let your children grow up from little children. To adults and see them like that " she sighed she was so angry a few moments ago she felt need to explain further her own feelings " I do want to apologise for being so angry before .. imagine you did not have your wife ..Vivi I believe you said her name was ..imagine she was no longer .and you happened to find another woman who peaks your interest who is very young ...imagine being sat down in front her father with her other boyfriend and being asked the same questions .... How would you feel bastion . Having all the experience you do ..being a mature well established individual and being compared to much younger man "

Bastion considered this as they road along on the caravan "I have to admit I'm not sure ho I would feel..." he flushed a bit red in the face as he became embarrassed. "I would be upset at the loss of Vivi and I am not so sure I would be able to move on... It's a bit embarrassing to say this but despite my age Vivi was my first and my only." he admitted "As to being asked such questions and being compared to others.. I already had that with Vivi. I'm not a fairy by any means so when Th fairies found out I was to marry vivi I had to go to the various courts and foreign glades to present my case. For as much as fairies and demons are alike thy do not trust each other fully and do not usually partake in such a union as the one I have with Vivi. Though even then I was not a well established man and while old not quite mature at times." he smirked a bit. "even now I'm not really that well established. I mean yes I'm a king now but I would not keep that prestige if Vivi were to die. I could in face face a rather overthrowing and tossing out as the fairies would not stand to see me sitting on the the throne without Vivi at my side." he said, tying to explain that things were rather different for him and that should Vivi die he would be back to just being a man with a nice set of feathers and nothing more.
Listened to him andnlistened to his story she rolled her eyes at him saying he was not mature yet " and my husband is the only man I have ever loved and now I must face life without him . And I understood you were being a good father ... But I am much too old to be in competition with a woman who appears to be Peter's twin . I can assure you bastion .. you will not have to worry about me breaking Peter's heart. .. And in a way you were good to point out how young Peter is ...how inexperienced he is compared to me ..but do not ever place me in that position again. " She sighed " I'm not looking for a second husband ..I'm looking for a companion , no one could ever live up to my husband he treated me incredibly well and even died for me ...and the goddess of light brought his soul back ..what I was hoping for was some one to have a different experience with...I must thank you for making realize that Peter can not be that person..so thank you for that " she stopped the carriage by a low and slow moving stream to let the horses rest and drink for a bit making short and efficient work of unhooking the horses
He nodded "I understand that everyone reacts to competition differently and I understand that you did not appreciate it and I'm sorry. I was just trying to say that I already know what it's like to be compared to others and judged though in my case I rose to the challenge. I mean The fairies were trying to force Vivi into taking a fairy over me and even after I won Manic was still in the picture and I had the choice to either accept Vivi for how she chose to to live or to leave and despite the jealousy I often feel when she goes sleeping around I have stayed. " he said and then took a moment to listen to her again "I'm sorry I put you in that same position.. but it is better that you go in fully understanding ho my son is and ho fairies are in general" he tried as they came to the river and stoped. He climbed out with her and continued to listen to her as she unhooked the horses, keeping a good distance from the running water. He frowned and winced as h realized that in only a few short words he had probably ruined any chance his son had with this woman, that's if peter had even had a chance with her to begin with. "I see.. so I have managed to upset things for my son so easily.." he sighed a big heavy sigh, going quite as h though on the actions he had taken and the words he had said. His wings drooped. A part of hm thinking it might b better this way because then Peter wouldn't be hurt again and Abi wouldn't be made a fool of either. The other pat of him though realizing more fully hat Abi meant and that he was perhaps trying to control too much and maybe even suffocating Peter. Hell he might even be a contributing factor to why Peter may not find a partner again and this bothered him.

She nodded as he apologized again " I have not competed nor will I ever compete for a person's affections ... You had to prove yourself to the fairy court ..you had prove that you would add something significantly better then what was being offered . What you did was something entirely different. no one was forcing Peter to marry anyone" she could see his reaction maybe she had been too hard on him " ..it is perfectly natural for a parent to want the absolute best for their child and I completely relate to that ...also it made me realize that Peter has a right to experience all those things ..I would just hold him back. " as the horses rested and drank she checked the hooves the placed a hand on his shoulder " speaking from an experienced parent to a an experienced one , untill he actually decides to actually court a woman ..I wouldn't worry too much about it .
Bastion stood off near the path, not to be rude but because water made him nervous. "yes... it was.. " he gave in to hr way of thinking in that moment. "Maybe.. if things were different and he was no my first.." he lamented, feeling her hand on his shoulder he would turn to face her if he wasn't already doing so. "I man with Max it was easy. H was adopted in and found a moan his age to settle down with. There was never any expectation of him to be a king or take over for the crown. Orin is also an easy one because he came with manic and was forever stuck a child due to be turned so young. Peter was easy but now I find him a challenge the older he gets. The courts are watching him and may force a crown onto his head and a woman into his arms..This is the mess of politics.." he grumbled. "It the other courts that have me worried. He doesn't realize how much is on his shoulders because I keep so much of it from him but because he is the first fairy child in such a long time the courts watch him like a hawk. there just waiting for him to make the wrong move and then declare it a slight on their kind so that war can be had and they can have better reason to de-throne Vivi and I." he said, laying out a bit more of the stress he was under."hen I questioned you as rudely as I did I was doing to you what they did to me in hopes of avoiding a war but either way it was wrong and I should have at least asked you such questions alone privately and perhaps in more gentle manner" he admitted
"You see.. there is much going on that you do not know about, no one questions the girls heritage or birthing nor do they question that of the twins because the girls are not set to take any crowns when they get older and the twins are far too young yet to be worried about. Peter is a whole other story... They have questioned his linage and right to rule from day one and he, unlike his sisters, is to take over the Seelie court when he is of age. That time is drawing ever near and I am feeling the pressure" he explained, not sure he could ever really explain the complex intricacies of the fairies and their relations to each other
nodded to him she know more about politics of court then he realized being a lady meant that in her younger days before she left the court , she would have been forced to marry a man based on his lineage his standing in the court , and even she was considered not to have the right genes the human courts like the fairies had levels ..she would explain a little bit about how the human court worked ..how lineage was traced and how you were introduced to men " when my parents died , i no longer had a sponsor , i could have found one easily enough , but i choose to leave the court , and because my house as grand as it was , at one time was dead ., my brother had been the only hope of that , and their hope was that enough of their history would prevail that i would marry higher then my status ..I understand the pressure .. this is another reason why it has made me realize that perhaps , i would not be the best for Peter for i am giving you parenting advice about Peter" She was glad those days were over for her . " I am so glad those days are over for me " she would lead the horses back to the carriage hook them up wait for bastion and then keep pushing forward.
He listened with interest to ho the human courts worked and while there were similarities there ere differences too. Mostly to do with how Fairies could be a lot more cruel and perverse in their means of testing. "With fairies they don't car about sponsors. The reason thy question Peter so much is because Vivi was barn before I came along. Most of the fairies were. So when he arrived out of nowhere they questioned it. They couldn't understand how a barren fae could have a child without first stealing it away from it's human parents and getting a Gentry to turn it. One Court demanded to watch Vivi and I.. well" he trailed off as his face went red again. "they wanted to see proof of how it was possible" he coughed, putting it as gently as he could manage. He waited for her to get the horses set up and then would climb in with her to continue. It as getting late in the day and it would b lunch time soon. "I like you giving me advice though" he smiled at her then. "it can be hard to realize you are doing wrong when all you have is you and your wife and she mostly agrees with you" he chuckled. "He reached over to pa her leg as they road "Well regardless I would be grateful to you for teaching my son what you can and being a good friend to him" he smiled at her kindly as he did still like the woman he just felt that she indeed may be a bit too old to b handling a young fae pup that was going to be a king someday.
the hotter the day got and the more the sun blared down abi would take out her very wide brimmed gardening hat which would protect her perfect skin from the sun she probably didn't need it she was half elf " Did you know i am half elf" she wasn't sure anyone knew that as on the outside all of her appearance would be human except for a tint in her eyes , and otherworldly grace she smiled "and we elves are very into matrimony ..even though elves and fairies do get along quite well , because my mother married a human male I was shut out of the elven court , half breed and all that ." she gave bastion the reigns and climbed in back making them sandwiches so they could eat on the go . " and you may ask me for advice anytime , i am happy to share what i know "

Bastion looked at her. "No.. I did not know that you were elf, in fact I though you were fully human and didn't like you just for that at first. But I got to know you and even thinking you were human I hold some respect for you now" he said and took the reigns so she could make food and they could press on. The day was growing hot but Bastion didn't even notice. He nodded as she said her people were very much into Matrimony and that she had been cast out for being half elf. "Yes well... I'm afraid if the fairies ever learned the truth about Peter it wouldn't be just him that was cast out" he said gruffly, his guard from earlier dropping. He was indeed putting more and more trust into Abi, perhaps because now he knew she was half elf and perhaps because he had at last got a chance to get to know her more one on one. The advice she gave was always sound and logical too.
smirked at little bit " you think the faye are impossible with their lineage , most elves interbreed with family to keep the blood lines perfect as they are immune to genetic and blood diseases " she smiled and shivered a little bit " My mother was the 100th generation in an unbroken lineage she would have married her brother had she not met my father ..My grandmother was the human consolute between the human and Elven court she would take My mother on trips , she never thought In a million years , that a human could take away her daughter, ..I never met any of my elven family we were shut off the day the engagement was announced " she listened to him " what truth about Peter?"
He listened to her, and had to shiver too as he couldn't imagine having to marry into family though he had learned many royal did this. "Well I'm glad your mother did not marry her brother even if it has caused you great hardship." he said, letting her eat first and then giving the reigns back over to her so he could take his turn to eat "I'm very sorry that they have treated you that way. But I'm also glad you have thrived and tuned into the lovely woman you are now" He ate his food and took a moment before he would turn to look at her as best he could as he wondered if she could be trusted with such a secret. "Before I tell you... I'm curious.. do you know how fairies come to be?" he asked.
took back the reigns as he ate , she " manic did tell me some , either through natural ways ..or one being stolen " she nodded it actually didn't cause her much hardship, that didn;t anyway her parents on the other hand were pretty evil along with her brother , she is the only one who came out half way good ..so she was basically the white sheep in a family full of black sheep..so would that technically make her , the black sheep theoretically speaking ..she thought began to think really hard about that , until she realized she was supposed to be listening to bastion shook her head a few times to get back in focus
Bastion nodded, eating as she though on her position as either a black or white sheep. He would nod as she explained what she knew. "That's correct. the gentry steal children and then turn them into fairies, usually keeping them as slaves or as decorations. It's something that is frowned on in fairy society because those that are made are often tortured and suffer greatly in the hands of the Gentry. The ones you see in the glade are the ons that have either escaped on their own or been rescued. But still the practice itself is not one that the fairies condone." he sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "That said.. Peter.. wasn't born..." he let the other shoe drop and just waited now to see how she would react.
didn't actually act in anyway but confused " if he wasn't born then he was created ?" she wanted to make sure she had this right , for some reason she always seemed to misunderstand everything bastion had to say maybe it was because of the different mind frames they had
Bastion would nod "he was.. and if the fairies found that out well... Me having a crown is mostly based on the fact the fairies think Peter was the first to be born and they praised me for bringing the first fairy child into the world again. If they found out he wasn't born but made.. It would be the largest war in all of fairy history" he frowned.
" I can understand that , it seems the fairies are very hard pressed to accept change as well , i can see now why you are even more so protective against peter , ...I shouldn't have judged you so harshly " she had met others that were created although certain things clicked about peter now , why he smelled like he did , he could woo her so easily how he could read and talk her plants ," I wonder how far away we are from the temple " she would look at the suns placement
