Story Time

Sebas sat at the edge of a cliff overlooking a sea of trees, his legs dangling off the edge with a gourd in his hand, passing the gourd to his side as he spoke "I know you don't remember, but this was your home… this crater was were the powerful Freycliff Kingdom held its capital…"

"I remember when you was just born, the measters said you were going to be a prodigy that would bring in a new era, you was a happy kid clueless to the darkness of the world surrounding you…" hooking his arm around Lumas' neck Sebas continued "You would run around the courtyard swinging a stick around as if you were in an intense battle," Sebas let out a small chuckle "You used to beat on those poor guards day an night before the accident, what an energetic kid you were," Sighing Sebas leaned back taking in the starry night sky "Susan would follow you around everywhere making sure you weren't getting into trouble, there was a time when you ended up sneaking out of the keep and ran into the town with a pocket full of gold coins because you wanted to get Susan flowers…"

The stories went on and Lumas didn't speak, instead opting to enjoy the stories as he down the gourd, after nearly 3 hours, Sebas turned to look Lumas in the eyes an unknown pressure not associated with any sort of energy washed over Lumas… Sebas spoke "Look, what I'm trying to get at here is, even as a child you would focus on unnecessary things when you have people who are capable of doing the same… You went to Oriaro to become stronger, stronger than all else… do you want the same thing to repeat with Ais?! Do you want to bury her too? If you weren't strong enough to protect Susan then how are you strong enough to protect Ais? What happens when your not? You just gonna give up? Detonate your mana core and take the whole world with you?"

Lumas seemed deathly cold as he stared into Sebas' eyes, his eyes were blazing with fury but Sebas paid it no mind "I understand your hurt, that your lost… but you can't lose sight of your true goal, rebuilding our kingdom is simply a secondary goal, something that could be put off… As your faithful servant I ask you to return to Oriaro and gain strength, only then could the Freycliff King- no the Freycliff Familia be known around the world as the STRONGEST, ONLY then would no one dare poke the dragons nest…"

"As one dragon falls, another stands to take its place… Allow me to overlook the rebuilding of our homeland while you become strong enough to protect it"

=========================================

Ais had a small smile as she wrapped her hair up in a towel, she had finally found the soap Susan would use. It was more for herself than it was for Lumas, while it may seem like she was unaffected by Susan's passing it was eating her up inside but she had to stay strong and grounded for Lumas. Wrapping a towel around her body she left the bathroom and went downstairs, moving towards the kitchen when she heard the door open.

Ais froze, not expecting anyone to show up within the next few hours she had thought she could relax. However as Bell and Welf walked inside they caught sight of a glorious scene, in a slightly damp towel that clung to the body two snow-like plump cheeks peeped out from under the towel, stretching down into profuse thighs and long legs, while Welf's attention was drawn down Bell's was drawn to her hair upon seeing the golden locks Bell froze hurriedly turning around yanking Welf as he did, all the while yelling out

"WE DIDNT SEE ANYTHING!" However when Bell reopened his eyes he saw Lumas standing in the doorway, his eyes looking pass them but the sight of him sent chills down Bell's spine, Welf was still a little shocked after what he saw trying to process the beauty he had laid his eyes on.

Bell was slightly trembling, he was used to Susan teasing him and trying to draw his attention when they were sparring but Lumas didn't seem to mind then but this was different, this was a complete invasion of privacy. Bell didn't care that he lived here too, he had just committed a 'Taboo'… unknowingly he began to study his life choices

As for Lumas he paid the two boys no mind, his attention was solely on Ais, a familiar scent tickled his nose causing tears to pool in his eyes as he looked on lovingly towards Ais who turned around to face him, her once snowlike complexion stained with a deep red as she clutched the towel around her body, after a moment she took a deep breath before dropping the towel.

Lumas seeing this froze his eyes followed the towel as it dropped, he carved every inch of her body into his mind once again, as his eyes danced back up her body she mouthed a few words 'Have them leave', Lumas dumbly nodded as he grabbed the two by their collar unceremoniously throwing them out of the forge slamming the door behind them, his gaze never left Ais who took small steps towards him, her unsteady breath and deep blush in conjunction with her honey-like eyes were like a trap Lumas had no hope of freeing himself from and even if he could he'd be a fool…

Ais softly ran her finger down Lumas' chest, grabbing the hem of his pants she pulled him close and whispered in his ear… Lumas once again nodded dumbly as he picked her up and carried her to the bed

As for their activities…let them have some privacy…
