Dia's Cliff Visit part 2

Ala stretched and yawned then got up, it was just before the crack of dawn

Dia stirred a little, very warm and very comfortable where she lay.

Ala chuckled seeing her friend, she proceeded to change and get her son up and changed "Hey Dia wake up" she said

Dia rolled, "mmm? is it time for training again Kito?" she mumbled.

Ala laughed "You are way far from Kazeha Dia, come-on I wanna show you something"

Dia rolled again and opened her eyes as she yawned. She sat up quick, not knowing were she was for a brief moment. "ala! good morning!" she said yawning again.

"Good very early morning, you seemed to have slept well. " she smiled

"I did. you have a very comfy bed." she grinned, sliding the blanket off her she could stand up and stretch.

Ala smiled, "very comfy, come-on" she rocked her son in her arms as she headed for the door and looking over her shoulder

Dia quickly grabbed her boots and slid them on, and caught up to Ala. "is the sun even up yet?" Dia asked, yawning again, while she wiped her eyes.

"Nope, not yet" she said with a laugh turning the opposite direction from the cave then they had the night before, that ledge heading upwards

"where are we heading?" Dia asked, still a bit sleepy, but waking up nonetheless

"To the top, I wanna show you something" she said with a chuckle "Trust me it's worth it"

Dia chuckled, "okay" she hadn't been up this early since Kito stopped hassling her about training harder so she didn't get snatched again.

Within a short time they reached the top of the cliffs which were fairly flat, Ala headed out onto the surface and soon sat a few feet from the edge Surion in her lap

Dia followed and sat beside Ala. "this is an amazing view up here." she said looking out towards the horizon.

"Just wait, it gets better" she said with a laugh "It's almost time for sunrise"

Dia nodded and watched. It was very peaceful up there too.

Ala sat quietly as the sun began to rise, she enjoyed watching it and it certainly wasn't the first time she had

Gasps of awe were hears coming from Dia as she watched the sun begin to peek over the horizon and make its presence know.

Ala chuckled and she looked over to her friend, Surion was feeding as they sat there

"wow Ala...its very majestic, isn't it?" she said quietly, lounging where she sat with her legs bent, but out in front of her as she supported her upper-half with her hands on the ground behind her.

"The sunset is just as nice from this view... I come up here every now and then to watch them while I'm here, long as I'm not too busy that is" she smirked

"Its truly an enlightening experience. To just stop and watch the wonder of nature...kinda helps put things in perspective, yanno?" Dia said, her child-like look of amazement still present on his face.

"Yeah I know, something I bet is tough to do from Kazeha right now eh" Ala said softly

Dia nodded. "yeah. too many trees block the horizon." she chuckled.

Ala laughed "So what's your plans for today Dia?"

"I actually don't have any. I have to page Asy when I'm ready to go home, but after that, all I have to do is chores. I'm off training for a couple weeks so I strain myself."

"Sounds like a lot of fun" she chuckled "No one back home is missing you are they?" she asked

Dia laughed, "my mother...but Kito and Nim have things they are working on without me." she sighed.

Ala chuckled "I think your mom is always missing or worried about you. You seem a bit down about Kito and Nim, is everything ok?"

"yeah, things are fine, I just don't see them often because they are involved with the stuff for Meriko and with kalyai and Lerate. My mom doesn't want me involved with that yet."

"Somehow I'm not entirely surprised about that" she said softly

Dia nodded. "I understand. I just miss them sometimes."

Ala nodded "With all hopes that whole thing will clear up, but considering who Lerate is it might take a while.. or least that's what Kal says" she sighed

"yeah. I'd like to meet him at least, he is my uncle...but then, I never thought I'd ever meet anyone from Mom's side of the family." she said softly, still watching over the horizon.

"Yeah but I don't even know that Meriko would know her 'relation' to Your mom either though" she mused

Dia chuckled, "that's true...and you never what Grandfather told her regarding the bane of his existence." she said wondering if Abaddon told Meriko at all about the daughter that betrayed him.

"It's very hard to say" she said with a sigh

Dia nodded. "yeah. and truthfully, I'd rather not know more about him and that tribe than I already do."

"To be honest Dia, I don't blame you in the least, kinda like I don't really have desire to know anything about my mother, however I don't mind knowing more about the Kerrsalians as a whole" she smiled softly

Dia nodded, "yeah...my heritage is intriguing...now that i was forced to accept it." she chuckled.

Ala chuckled "Yeah, true... so you getting hungry at all?"

There was a shimmer behind them, and Torvil landed one quiet feet, shoeless, and dressed in more Cliff garb, a rough leather tunic and pants, all tied. He stood there listening.

Dia nodded, "actually, quite. I haven't eaten since yesterday morning come to think of it."

Ala nodded "Perhaps Torvil has brought us something from the hunt" she said with a smirk having smelled his arrival

"Is he due back soon?" Dia asked, still paying more attention to watching the land light up as the sun rose higher.

"He already is " she laughed "he's behind us"

Dia turned her head and seen him standing there. Her cheeks going a little red, "Hi...Torvil." she said meekly.

Torvil bowed his head. "So you aren't attached at the hip to /him/." He gave her a wink

Ala giggles and stood up "Mornin love" she said walking over and leaning to give him a soft kiss

Dia's whole face went red.

Torvil purred and kissed her softly. He broke slowly and smiled at Ala. "I left my share in the kitchen.. Though I'm surprised there isn't a third here..."

Ala raised a brow curiously "A third?" she asked shifting Surion to her shoulder to burp him

Dia stood up and dusted her backside to knock the dirt off. "I hope you don't me being here." she said meekly to Torvil.

Torvil smiled. "I don't mind at all... But I wonder where... You know who is..." He looked at Dia with a 'have you told Ala yet?' look.

Ala laughed and tapped her nose and headed towards the path back down the ledge for the cave

Dia's blush brightened and she nodded with a shy smile. "he's working." she said quietly.

Torvil laughed and nodded his head, "Well now... And he left you here... Shame..."

Ala chuckled "Come on guys I'm hungry"

Torvil smiled and walked with Ala. "yes love, I'm sure you are..."

Dia wasn't sure how to respond to Torvil so she just followed them back down.

"So uh... Are you going to need a shimmer back to the village?" Torvil asked.

Dia nodded. "yes, Asy said to page him when I'm ready to go home." she said quietly

Torvil chuckled. "He taught you how to page?" He quirked a brow.

Ala chuckled softly as they re-entered the cave listening to the two of them talk and lay her son on the pallet and sat down

Dia fished a small stone from her satchel and showed it to Torvil. "he gave me this, and said it can page him."

"Ah, stone..." He nodded. "Those work too..." He chuckled softly. "And can't screen em..."

Ala picked up the small gem Dia had given her the day before from where she had put it and played with it in her hands listening to them

Dia rubbed the stone a little with her fingers as she smiled, before tucking it safely back into her satchel.

Torvil's eyes instantly shot to the gem in Ala's hand. "oooooooo..."

Ala looked up and chuckled "something catch your eye love?"

Dia was just observing the two. It amused her how Ala was with shinnies and she noticed Torvil was like that too.

Torvil pointed. "Shiny...." He muttered.

Ala laughed "Yes love, it is" she grinned she glanced at her friend

Dia went back into her satchel and pulled out another one and handed it to Torvil.

Torvil smiled at Dia and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "Thank you!" He looked like a happy five year old getting candy.

Ala smiled, she held the gem in her hand above her son

Surion cooed and reached towards her hand

Dia giggled. "I have a handful of them actually. They're pretty, but I don't really know what to use them for."

Torvil blinked and looked at it. "Well for starters I'd keep them... Asmodeus gave you these correct?"

Dia nodded.

"Keep them on you when you cross... In a pocket... They'll be with you on other side... You can use them there..."

Dia pulled another one out to look at it. "What do they do?"

"They're money..." he said plainly.

"oh" Dia said meekly putting it back into her satchel. "I didn't know. Now I know why he gave them to me." she said very quietly.

Torvil chuckled. "Quite a bit too... But then Asmodeus was always free with his money..."

"I just like them, they are shiny" she said softly playing with Surion

Torvil nodded. "That they are..."

Dia smiled. "I told Asy I would make him a new robe, because the one he wears is ... uhm...old and itchy, and he insisted that I take those gems in return." she smiled.

Torvil chuckled. "Of course he did..." He smirked. "but I doubt he'll get the thing to other side unless he Holds it..." he chuckled softly.

Dia looked at Torvil curiously, "what do you mean?"

"Well you can't wear things across to other side, you end up naked under some robes..." He nodded his head. "Right Ala?"

"Very much so, very much so" Ala chuckled remembering her trips

"oh" Dia frowned a little bit.

Ala smiled "Comes in handy if you are already naked when you go there"

Torvil chuckled. "Yeah..." He nodded. "But Asmodeus should be able to take things... I have..."

Dia gave a weak smile and nodded.

"Ok, I'm hungry, and so is Dia, so lets have something to eat" she said changing the subject

Torvil nodded and headed to the kitchen.

Ala smiled "Figured it was a good time to change the subject" she told Dia with a chuckle

Dia went and sat in one of the uber comfy chairs and smiled. "thank you for letting me join you for food."

Torvil chuckled and walked to the counter, starting to prepare the meal.

dia nodded and smiled towards ala and mouthed the words 'thank you' to her.

Ala picked up her son after putting the gem away and brought him over to hand to Dia

Torvil sighed. "Dia likes her meat cooked a little right?"

Dia nodded, not looking up as she was gushing over little Surion in her arms.

Ala laughed "Yes love, she's not used to the way we eat it or the way most people here do"

Torvil nodded and set aside a bit of the meat to cook more than usual

Ala smiled sitting and watching Dia with her son

dia was careful this time...to not bounce him. She cooed and smiled at the infant. "you two sure make cute babies." she giggled.

Ala giggled "we try"

Torvil chuckled, tossing meat of the pan and onto plates. "Raw's up... Working on Dia's..."

Ala smiled and headed for the table "you can just put him in the playpen when yours is ready Dia"

"Does she like any bleeding at all?" Torvil called from the kitchen

Ala glanced at her before she got to the table "Dia?"

Dia smiled and looked up, "okay." she slowly stood up, not wanting to create too much motion, and slowly laid Surion in the crib. "Rare is good." she smiled.

Ala nodded and took a seat at the table starting at her meat which was far from 'rare'

Torvil walked over with the meat and sat down to his own.

"Gave Dia a small tour last night love, showed her hte stage and the announcement booth" she smirked

Torvil chuckled. "Oh, you mean where we had hot wild animal sex..."

Ala laughed "Uh huh"

Dia turned red, but giggled as she sat at the table.

Torvil chuckled. "Oh, I saw they fixed it... The stage I mean..." He chuckled

"Had to show her why furniture here would be bigger here so I figured Id give her a tour while I was at it" she smiled

"Yes your daughter paid the fine"

Torvil laughed. "Oh yeah... Forgot about the damages fine..." He smacked his forehead. "Oh well..."

Dia laughed, trying to not spit food from her mouth as she listened to Ala and Torvil.

"I gave her a crystal... which reminds me that booth owner still trying to give me change" she glanced at Dia

Torvil eyed her, not really knowing that this was funny. "Is he now... Well Crystals are quite rare here..." he smirked.

"He turned it into the treasury for value exchange...."

"Oh hell..." Torvil muttered.

"What's wrong?" she blinked

"That's a lot of money to flow out of the treasury..." He muttered.

Dia kept quiet, not really knowing much about that situation.

"Somehow I gathered that, Vina said it's worth like a thousand gold claw or something like that..." she smiled at D "cooked ok?"

Dia nodded. "yes, its very good thank you."

Torvil nodded. "She's been pestering me to make gold..." He grumbled and ate.

"That's what she said, said you tell her no" she finished up and relaxed against the table top

Torvil nodded, rending a rather large bit of meat away with his teeth. "Ould eak ules..."

Dia continued with her meal, it was very good. "What kind of meat is this?" she asked, curiously.

Ala nodded "The ones I gave Mikiri and Malkar and mom are all in their hordes or wherever they store them they never turned them in"

"Deer..." Torvil said. "Well actually I think that's bear..." he pointed to what Dia was eating.

Dia nodded. "its good. I've never had bear before." she smiled.

Torvil smiled. "Thanks... It's hard to prepare sometimes..."

"Always turns out all right to me, where are the other guys? they back as well?" Ala asked

Torvil chuckled. "Nope... They told me to go home cause I was making them look bad... I had ten kills to their one... Or ten kills to Joman's five..."

"Joman doing better now?" she asked

"Nope... Still lagging behind and barely killing anything..."

"who is Joman?"

"My Eldest Daughter's husband... He's a Drow..." Torvil chuckled.

"oh! he's going to be a dad soon, right?"

Ala nodded "yup"

Surion could be heard babbling and blowing bubbles in the playpen

Torvil chuckled and looked over. "Yeah he is..." He smiled. "And he's quite excited..."

Dia smiled, "so many babies coming in to the world lately." she said softly after she swallowed the last bit of food. "thank you for the meal, it was delicious."

"If he values sleeping in his bed he better not wus out of the hunt"

Torvil chuckled. "I don't think he will... they tease him too much... And you're welcome Dia..."

"Glad you enjoyed it Dia, it's the kind of food we eat here, sometimes wit veggies but usually mainly meats" she told her

Dia smiled and nodded. "Meat is always good. I'm not partial to most veggies anyway." she chuckled.

Ala laughed "Neither am I anymore" she looked over her shoulder then back "Love he needs a change soon"

Torvil nodded and stood. "Okay"

Ala smiled "What do you think of our little cave home Dia?" she asked as he got up

Dia smiled and looked around again. "I think its great. Very cozy and simple. I can see why you visit often."

"Omg. He's wearing cliff clothes!"

Ala laughed "Yes Vina and I bought out the clothing place of infant stuff yesterday"

Torvil chuckled softly and changed him. "He looks strapping... Just like his dad..."

"I think Torvil likes that I got those for Surion" she said to Dia with giggle

Dia smiled, "they look cute on him, who wouldn't like it."

Torvil looked over. "You bet your sweet ass I do..." He smirked. He scratched at his ear, that if one looked closely was starting to point.

Ala laughed "I first got mine so I felt I fit in better, instead of standing out with my normal clothing"

Dia chuckled, "I dress funny even in my own village, so I stand out all the time anyway."

Ala laughed "Yeah, but I didn't want to, least not here."

Torvil chuckled. "You should have seen what I wore the last time I was here..."

"Loincloth,,, and that was it" she whispered to Dia

Dia laughed, and her cheeks blushed when she tried to envision it.

Torvil's face scarred, up, they were rather pretty white ones though. "See what she did..." he smirked.

Dia's eyes opened wider, "whoa..."

Ala smirked "I had fun.... to say the least"

Torvil smirked. "What you don't see is..." He slowly put Surion down and stripped off his shirt, his bare chest covered in scars.

"holy cow" Dia gasped. "I thought you two were in love!"

Ala laughed "Dia I told you I let the dragon out when I am here" she pointed at him "that is love in the cliffs"

Torvil smiled and ran a finger down his chest. "This is more than love... This is devotion..." He shivered. "oh lord... I should stop looking at these..."

"wow" Dia said under her breath, with a slight shiver. "looks painful."

Ala laughed "How bout you pick up your son again" she laughed "probably was, that's the product of about 2 days"

"Straight?" Dia raised her brow a little looking at Ala.

Ala smirked at her letting her come to her own conclusions

"Holy cow." she said under breath again, shaking her head in awe.

Ala giggled "We can both hear you Dia you might as well just speak aloud"

Torvil chuckled. "Loved every second..." He put his shirt back on, but it was obvious just looking at the scars had some effect on him. He picked up Surion again with a smile.

Dia chuckled, "Ala...this is a side of you I never knew existed." she blushed a little.

Ala laughed "Well now you do. it exists here more then anywhere else."

Torvil chuckled. "Sometimes I wish it existed more at home too..." He growled and purred at his son.

Ala chuckled softly

dia chuckled, "I just hope you hate me enough to not want to hurt me." she joked as she watched Torvil with Surion and smiled.

Ala laughed "I don't hate you Dia, besides, I wouldn't hurt you, you know that"

Dia laughed, "I know Ala, I was just teasing." her cheeks turned a little red.

Torvil chuckled. "Unless the two of you are lovers on the sly..." he smirked.

Ala laughed and nearly fell from her chair from her laughter

Dia tapped her chin and looked up. "weelll...I DID sleep here last night..." and she was only able to hold a straight face for a few seconds before busting out laughing.

Torvil's brow rose very slowly, he held Surion and took on a stance. "And why was I not invited!!" He puffed up his chest with Surion.

Ala laughed even harder laying on her back on the floor tears of laughter rolling down her cheeks

Torvil laughed, albeit not as hard, holding Surion after all. He wondered what the child was thinking right then...

Dia laughed so hard she let out a snort, and quickly caught herself, blushing.

Torvil smirked. "Ah so we have a snorter..." He chuckled. "Asmodeus snorts..."

Ala finally stopped laughing and just looked up at the pair from where she was catching her breath "Oh Visha this is a funny conversation"

Dia's ears turned red too. "I didn't know that." she said quietly, still giggling, trying to not laugh hard.

Torvil chuckled. "Just get him to laugh... It's hard to do though..." He smirked.

"Somehow I think Dia can probably manage it.... after all she got him to bring her here" she mused

Torvil nodded. "Aye... Strange that... Smelled her all over him too..." He stroked his chin. "I wonder why..."

Dia giggled, trying to remember if he even chuckled with her the previous day. Her dreamy smile gracing her face as she thought about it.

Ala laughed "Oh I think I can guess why"

Torvil smirked. He looked at Dia. "I don't know if Asmodeus is the type..."

"She was sleeping with a non Kazehan type of hankie last night" she mused with a grin

Torvil's brow shot up. "Welll now...." He looked to Dia. "That's interesting..." He tapped his chin. "I'd always figured he didn't work..."

Dia was bright red, and looking to the floor as they spoke. She was still smiling, but didn't know how to respond.

Ala chuckled and sat up "Don't worry Dia, talking about intimacy around the cliffs is very commonplace"

Torvil chuckled. "Yes, like the whether... Speaking of intimacy... Do you think we can get Surion a baby sitter... "

Ala laughed "He still nurses love, and I'm not weaning him, not till he's ready, think we'd have time between feeds?"

Dia chuckled and lifted her gaze up. She was glowing bright red from her ears to her toes, and she fought the embarrassment, trying to not shy away.

Torvil scratched his head.

Dia's eyes went straight back to staring at the floor.

Ala tapped her chin "Hmmm well we'll have to see about that, I imagine Vina would probably baby-sit, babies seem to help her mood swings... " she glanced at her friend

Torvil nodded. "Good... And if he gets hungry we can break off and he can have his snack..." He smirked at Dia.

Ala laughed "possibly, he's pretty regular about when he wants food"

Torvil chuckled. "how much time would we have?"

Dia let out a soft sigh and sat up again.

"Hour maybe a bit more," she glanced back to Dia "You ok my friend?"

Torvil looked over to her, a concerned look painted his face

Dia smiled weakly, "yeah yeah." she remembered what Ala had said so she suddenly stood up, "do you need me to leave?"

Ala shook her head "Not as of yet, Surion's not even gone yet" she said "Besides you came to visit"

Dia chuckled lightly. "if you say so." she said meekly.

Ala laughed "I do, you don't need to start getting worried till we are like ripping the other's clothing off" she laughed "That was our sign to get out of his parent's place a while back"

Dia chuckled, "ok, I'll keep an eye out for that."

Torvil chuckled softly.

"Love I bought Surion a couple toys too from the market, I think they are still in the diaper bag"

Torvil smiled and moved to get them.

Ala got up from where she sat and smiled at her friend "You've gotten to see part of how relaxed I am here" she told her

Torvil dug in bag and chuckled... "Vina!" he held up the black robed white haired feather winged doll. "And Visha..." He held up the white one.

Ala laughed "Yup" she said hearing his words

Dia looked at the toys in Torvil's hands and smiled.

Torvil smiled and handed them to Surion. "You should have gotten him some big-boy toys too..."

"The sweet elder and Visha" she said giving him a laugh "When he's a big-boy I will, in the mean time he gets lil guy toys"

Torvil chuckled. "Allow me to rephrase that..." He smirked. "You should have gotten him big-boy toys so I could play..." He laughed.

Dia laughed.

Ala chuckled "You can go to the market for those yourself" she smirked

Torvil stuck out his tongue. "But that's corny..."

Ala shook her head "You are silly love"

Torvil chuckled. "Silly yes... But not corny..." He chuckled softly and put Surion back in his pen with his new toys.

Ala smiled and headed to take a seat on the couch, her friend had grown quiet and she hoped Dia was ok

Dia seen Ala move so she followed suit to go sit in the comfy chair. "These sure are comfortable chairs." she said, not sure what else to say after her embarrassing display of ... embarrassment.

Torvil looked up, he shook his head. "Uh... Okay..."

Ala shook her head "Love come sit with me"

"We're about to have a guest..." Torvil said, getting up and walking over to Ala.

Ala chuckled "We have one, what's one more"

"Well this one's about six five, has yellow eyes.... and is coming in right about... Now..." There was a shimmer at the entrance of the cave.

Dia quickly turned her head and smiled wide.

Ala laughed "now to see how red she becomes this time"

Asmodeus shook his hair as he appeared, wearing the same clothes Dia had given him a day or so prior. He smiled. "Hey..."

Torvil stared. "Uh... who are you, and what did you do to my teacher..."

Ala laughed and fell sideways on the couch

Dia stood up and ran over to him, wrapping her arms around him. "Hi!" she said in a slightly higher pitched voice than one she used when talking with Ala and Torvil.

Torvil blinked. "Whoa... Pitch change..." Asy smiled and leaned down to kiss Dia's head. "Hey darling..." He ran his fingers through her hair. "They haven't been bothering you have they?"

Ala chuckled and sat up again looking back at the pair

Dia shook her head, "no no." She was smiling very wide. "I was just embarrassing myself is all." she said quietly.

Asy chuckled and picked her up, holding her close to him in his arms. "Eh? Were you now?" He walked over and sat down in the chair she had vacated, dropping her in his lap.

"I just came by to check up on things..."

"She's pretty in pink" Ala said with a grin

Asy chuckled. "Is that so?" He looked down at Dia.

Torvil was still shaking his head. "Big change..."

Dia wrapped one arm around the back of his neck. "I'm not used to Ala being so... open." she chuckled. Glancing towards Ala and smiling.

"What do you expect Torvil, you introduced him to Dia in a sense" she grinned

Torvil chuckled. "Never thought he'd change so much..."

Asy smirked.

"Now I want to hear this laugh I've heard about" she grinned

Dia turned to Asy and grinned, "yeah, Torvil says you snort, too." she giggled.

Asy glared at Torvil. "I don't snort..." he said defensively.

Ala laughed "you don't need to be defensive about it, especially if you are going to consider bonding with my best friend"

Asy nodded. "I do plan on doing it. But I do not snort... In fact, I have not laughed in ages... But I love snorting..." He smiled and nuzzled Dia.

"So I've heard... Perhaps Dia could get you to laugh" she grinned

Dia nuzzled him back, and gently caressed his face, gently dragging her fingers along his jaw to underneath his chin.

Ala leaned over to Torvil "Perhaps it's us who are going to have to evacuate soon" she whispered

Torvil laughed. Asy's eyes went snake like and there was a loud snorted laugh when Dia touched the underside of his chin.

Ala giggled a lot and stood and got Surion bringing him back

Dia laughed, "you do!" and single snort escaped and she quickly clasped her hands over her mouth.

Asy smirked. "And you do too..." He leaned down and kissed her.

Ala chuckled and listened while she fed Surion

Dia giggled and smiled. "Asy, are you off from work now?" she asked, glad he was there, but curious if he was going to be going soon.

Asy smirked. "Told em to shove their reports and that I was taking a month or so off..." He nuzzled her.

Dia's smile widened, "A whole month?"

Asy nodded. "All sixty days..."

Ala laughed "That's two months Asmodeus"

Dia crooked her head a bit, "60 days?"

Asy blinked.

Torvil chuckled. "Time's screwy on other side.... Sixty of their days is equal to thirty of ours... Most of the time..."

"Ahhh I see" she said moving Surion to be burped

Dia nodded at Torvil. "oh! so, I've been here two days then? according to other side's time..."

"Or vice versa..." He smirked. "It's as I said... screwy... chaotic... Asy knows though..."

Dia smiled and turned to Asy, "how do you keep track of things then? if thing's aren't...constant?"

Asy tapped his head. "Internal clock... resets each time..."

"Would confuse the hell outta me" Ala said

Dia chuckled, "me too, Ala."

Torvil chuckled. "I don't even bother..."

Dia laughed, mindful to hold in any snorts.

Asy smiled softly. "do you mind if I steal her?" He hugged Dia close. "Do you mind if I steal you?"

Ala chuckled "Long as you give her back eventually"

Dia smiled and looked to Ala, "you don't mind if I head out?"

Ala shook her head "No Dia, you've been here lots, overnight even"

Asy smiled, and waited for Dia to answer, though he knew already

Dia smiled and crawled off of Asy's lap and went to Ala to give her a hug. "I loved seeing your home here, and visiting with you here. I'll try to not embarrass so easily next time." she chuckled.

Ala chuckled "Keep up your new activities and you wont be"

Asy suddenly blushed.

Torvil burst out laughing.

Ala laughed "Hey, we pretty open about that here Asmodeus..."

Dia giggled, and surprisingly to her, didn't blush. "Thank you for the meal and comfy bed to sleep in, too." she said, and leaned down to give Surion a kiss on his forehead. "It was great to see him again too."

Ala nodded "Don't you start playing stranger on me either" she winked

Dia shook her head. "I won't. I came to visit yesterday, didn't I?" she winked. Dia turned towards Torvil and smiled. "Thank you for the meat. It was good."

Asy caught her with a hand and smiled. "Ready to go?"

Dia looked up at Asy and smiled, "yeah." She turned to Ala and waved, "I'll see you soon, k? And don't forget to bring Surion to see my mom."

Ala nodded "Have 'fun' my friend"

Dia grinned and winked before turning back to Asy.

Asy smiled and pulled Dia to him as best he could, putting her eyes to his body as he shimmered them out.

Ala chuckled watching them leave

Torvil smirked and laughed softly..
