~~~(POV: Jaeemara)~~~
~~~(Location: The Jungles of Nae'mor, The City of Armezix, The Continent of Alforza)~~~
~~~(Time: 7:49 PM)~~~
Sally and Cera are in their own room at this time, and we've spent the whole day traveling. We're not that close to the capital, but I do know that's the general direction we're heading. Both of them want to see it, and I haven't been there in quite some time.
We could take an Airship to the capital and enjoy the sights of the Kingdom-sized city, but they both insisted on walking. I can only guess what the reason behind it is, but I'm going to assume it's because it's better to see it up close than from high in the sky.
My mind drifts to Pazemad and my two Daughters. There is a part of my mind that still worries about my Father and what he might do. But I have to remember that Cera has handled it.
The people most important to me are free, and so am I. No longer am I dragged into my Fathers games and plans. I can enjoy my life for what it is, and I'll have something that I never had before. A future without hindrance.
I open my Player Interface and see Pazemads name in the friend section. I click on it, and I know just how to start this conversation.
[I'm sad you couldn't have been there to see the look on my Fathers face when Angel Zern confronted him. Once I'm done helping Princess Saliandra and Angel Zern. I'm coming home, and we're all going on a vacation.]
The message is sent, and now all I need to do is wait for a reply. Thinking about that moment a few days ago still leaves a pit in my stomach. I wish it could've been different, but Dad only understands force.
Mom saying that to Cera really messed up Sally. I don't think the Princess would be thinking about the things she's thinking about if it weren't for what my Mom said.
"But they'll be fine... Madly in love will cause that..."
There is no mistaking it.
If those two don't end up together, then I don't know if love in the youngest generation exists anymore. After another couple of minutes, I get a response back from Pazemad.
[Now I'm jealous! Perhaps when you're back, you can tell me all about it. But right now, I want to talk to you about Leela and Laura. I'm worried about them. They keep asking me about Angel Zern, and they're spending their free time drawing him.]
Pazemad is a great man and Father, but he's overprotective of his little girls. They have a crush. Let them enjoy it while they can. It won't last. I remember having a conversation like this before I left.
The moment I send the message, I can't help smiling at the thought of Pazemads reaction. It's cute how much he wants to shelter them, but he'll come to accept they're growing up sooner or later. It's a beautiful thing to see your children grow up.
It doesn't take more than a minute before I get a response back.
[I'm going to bed.]
Way to end the conversation. He's always in a mood when it comes to our Daughters. But I guess that makes him a good Father.
[Now, hold on there. I wasn't done talking to you. I wanted to let you know they've decided I'm taking them as far as the capital. Once we make it there, I'll show them around, and then I can come back. They won't need me anymore. It's probably around a week or more by foot left.]
Giving a time frame of when I'll be back will probably put him in a better mood. It's the role of a Husband and Wife to help their partner in their times of need, and Pazemad needs some news that doesn't break his heart.
After about 2 minutes, I get another response. And it's so typical of him when he's upset.
[That's good. See you then.]
He's not upset with me or anyone in particular. Well, maybe Angel Zern, but that's a given since our Daughters are crushing on him. He's lost in his head, trying to figure out what to do, and I think leaving him to that is the best I can do now.
I've given the effort, and it's clear that he doesn't want to talk even if I'm doing 95 percent of the work. You have to know when to hold them and fold them.
The system disappears with a wave of my hand, and I look toward the ceiling.
,m "I wonder what will happen the day they bring home their first boyfriends..."
An image of Pazemad biting his lips so hard they bleed fills my head. And his grip is so tight that his fingernails dig into his palm. While it's not supposed to be funny, I can't help being overcome by laughter.
I miss them... And I'm looking forward to seeing them again. No parent wants to be away from their family for long, and it's not something that I'm willing to compromise, even for Angel Zern. Sally and Cera both know that I'm done and heading back once we reach the capital.
They've both become my really good friends. Sally and I really connect on an intellectual level. She's smart and sensitive. I really admire that, given all the things she's been through in her life. And Cera is a person that is polarizing. You either hate him, or you love him.
And I can say that I love him. As a friend, of course. But it's hard not to see the attractive qualities in the man. Sally is a lucky woman, and I know great and long stories will be told of their adventures together.
"I should talk to Sally about one more thing before we eventually part, and it's something that only girls should talk about. Well, that's not true. But it's an easier talk between women for the first time."
'',
Guys aren't really that great when it comes to understanding the female body and how to treat it in its harder times. Sally and I will have a talk about this. Cause I'm certain there are things she doesn't know about her own biology still.
As weird as it sounds, I'm certain of it.
~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~
~~~(Location: The Jungles of Nae'mor, The City of Armezix, The Continent of Alforza)~~~
~~~(Time: 9:13 PM)~~~
Sally wraps her body around mine as we lay on the bed in our underwear, and she snuggles up to me. Skinship is one of my favorite things to do with Sally, which isn't kissing or having sex. It helps both of us feel closer to one another.
"Cera..."
Her soft and gentle voice comes out around my shoulder where her head is. My silence is an indication that I'm listening. That, and my reassuring rub on her lower back.
"I've been acting like a real nagging bitch, huh..."
That's come out of nowhere, and it's so surprising that I start to laugh. Uncontrollably. She lifts her head slightly and looks at me, amused.
Waiting for a response at the same time.
"Well, that's one of the bluntest ways I've ever heard you speak! That's one way to describe it if you want to!"
My voice is raised as I try and speak between laughs. She leans up and lays on my chest. Looking me in the eyes.
"You haven't been a peach yourself, bud. How about I stop all my nagging bitchness and you..."
I look at her with a raised eyebrow teasingly since she can't lock down what to say.
"You stop being so violent!"
She chokes it out in a rush, and her face gets red in embarrassment. Another storm of laughter comes, but now it's the both of us.
'',
"What happened about not nagging me!?"
We both start laughing even harder, and for the first time in a while. We're purely happy in each other's presence.
