| Life not always a bowl of cherries ~ part 2
After they had rested for awhile, Torvil came up with a plan... Ala was going to be the center of it... he needed his hands free...
Ala sat up and reached for the clothing glad she had only worn the simplest cheapest cliff garb she had as she pulled the new clothing on
Torvil slipped his own clothes on..." Okay here's the plan... I'm going to cause a disturbance to get most of the other guards away... You need to go, snipe the two guards with your energy, jump Joman to the gate, and then start taking out support columns... They look like this..." he tapped the pillar sticking out of the wall.
Ala nodded "Got ya"
Torvil smiled and gave her a tight hug. "Okay, I'm going first... Count to twenty then follow after... Ready..." He kissed her and ran out. "go"
Ala shift her power to her Kerrsalian side, in the disguise she had it only lightened her eyes a tad. she counted to twenty then slipped out of the apartment looking around then sauntering looking full of herself and bitchy out of the building and quickly in the direction of the stocks
People parted for her as they saw her mood, no one wanting to deal with some one who went toe to toe with a daggerdancer in a fight... Not to mention there was a sudden explosion near the council of three's chamber.
Ala picked up her pace walking hands in fists. soon as she got close enough she looked discretely around for the majority of the guards
Just two guarded Joman, the rest were gone, and these ones only had black eyes.
Ala lifted a hand and opened it, there was a tiny energy ball in it which she flicked her hand sending directly at the guards head quickly followed by a second at the second guard
The guards went down like sacks of bricks, just toppling, one's head was bleeding where he'd hit the stocks.
Ala connected to the nether and disappeared from where she was reappearing a minute or so later beside Joman
Joman looked up at her. "Thank god..." He muttered. "I thought you were some floozy Torvil picked up... He didn't tell me he brought you along in his message... just that it was him and that you were figuring a way to get you out..."
"Nope, my hair changed since you last saw me" she said "now come-on we have to get to the main gates we're bringing this place down" she said extending her hand to him
Joman took it. "There is a god in heaven..." He muttered.
Ala chuckled softly "close your eyes Joman" she said then once he had pulled him into the nether pausing only long enough not to be considered a direct jump so she didn't forget the top of her to-do list then landed them near the gates
Joman gasped. "Holy hell what was that!"
"The Nether, it's how we are getting out of here" she said letting him go and balling her fists for a moment opening them again with larger green balls in them and started throwing the energy at the pillars creating new balls after each throw
Torvil blipped in shortly thereafter holding his shoulder. "One of the dancers got me.." He chuckled. "Hey Joman, say bye to your family... This is the last time you'll probably see them..."
Joman nodded and waved the Drow city a single finger salute.
Ala smiled briefly at her mate still taking out the pillars
Torvil smiled. "Once you get the last one... I'll do my part..." He grinned.
"Ok see you on the other side then.. Joman we're out of here soon I send this last ball so close your eyes and get ready" she said pausing to make sure he did
Joman shut his eyes and waited.
Torvil smiled, already linking up with the ley
Ala threw the energy HARD and turned the instant it was out of her hand grabbing Joman and pulling him into the Nether and landing on the other side waiting for Torvil
Torvil popped in a few minutes later. "Hoooboy..." he said shaking his head. "That was close..."
"It's done then?" she asked standing with Joman, she had told him when they landed that it was safe to open his eyes and the two had been standing in the other side's robes
"Yeah... I don't think there will be anymore Drow coming out of the undercaves... I don't think anyone could survive that much rock coming down on their heads..."
Ala nodded and turned to Joman "You ready to go see your wife?"
Joman practically jumped in Ala's arms.
Ala chuckled "Close your eyes Joman and we'll get ya to the house, she's at our home still watching Surion"
Joman nodded and shut his eyes. Torvil put a hand on Ala as well.
Ala took a deep breath and pulled them back through the Nether dropping them all in the middle of the living room of their home
Vina tossed a book at the three, it hitting Torvil square upside the head before she realized her husband was one of the Drow.
"Vina! your father!" Ala said dropping down on the closest seat possible
Torvil just stood there rubbing his head. "Always me... never anyone else..."
Ala chuckled softly looking around and presumed her son was in bed since she did not see him
"I tucked him in... Do you mind if Joman and I spend the night?"
"Of course not, Torvin's old room is the only spare room with a bed, or you can use a guest room upstairs of the shop" Ala said with a yawn
"We'll take Torvin's... And We'll let you get to bed..." She smiled and got up, Joman following after.
Ala smiled softly and waved at them her eyes half open even though it wasn't really all that late
Torvil scooped her up and headed for their room.
"Tired" she said with a sigh
Torvil nodded. "I am too..." He lay her in bed and crawled next to her, pulling up the blanket.
"I used a lot of energy to deal with those pillars... and the Neth..." her words went incomplete as she fell fast asleep
Torvil chuckled and hugged her close as his body likewise shut down from the ley draining
Next Day
Torvil awoke a little later and went to the bathroom to take a shower. He froze and tensed, staring into the mirror before realizing that the Drow in it was himself... "We're going to have to visit Danyen..."
Surion babbled playfully in his crib playing with his toys
Ala slept soundly
Torvil grumbled and brushed his hair, heading for Surion's room, wondering if his son would recognize him.
"Adahhhdahhdahh!" Surion called out before Torvil reached the room
Torvil chuckled and slowly entered. "Sur... It's daddy okay.... He just looks funny..."
Surion looked up at him and stared blinking no expression on his face besides confusion
Torvil chuckled softly, and started to hum a song he knew Surion would know.
"Aahhh??" Surion reached a hand up pointing his finger at Torvil
Torvil smiled. "Dad..." He said, walking over and brushing Surion's cheek.
Surion turned his head looking at the hand and reaching for it
Torvil chuckled and let him take it.
Surion stared at the hand "Aaahhhpppffttt" he said and pulled the hand to his mouth to chew on
Torvil chuckled a little louder, picking him up with one arm and letting him chew on his hand as he walked back to the bedroom.
Surion chewed "nyanyahnyah" he vocalized
Torvil chuckled and reached the bed, laying down with Surion next to Ala.
Surion let go of his father's hand and sat up on the bed
Torvil smiled and looked up at his son. "So what do you think of mommy and daddy and how they look..."
Surion squealed and leaned forward baby-slapping his father's face Surion rolled on his side and onto his belly proceeding to head down the bed "Mmmmmmmmaa"
Torvil chuckled and moved slowly, following him down. "Ala..."
Ala stirred and opened her eyes "what.." she said tiredly
Surion carried on down the bed
Torvil moved and scooped him up, putting him back down at the top of the bed. "Your son wants to see you..."
Ala propped herself up on her elbow "Hey little man" she said with a smile looking at him
Surion stared at her before reaching and baby-slapping her too "Aaahhpppff"
Torvil chuckled and smiled, watching his son who didn't seem to care his parent's looked different.
Ala chuckled
Surion turned again heading down the bed once again "Mmmmaaaa"
Torvil chuckled and followed slowly. "How are you doing love?"
"Tired but ok, not as tired as a few days ago but still tired" she replied
Vina came into the room. "Surion? Oh! Hi mom, hi dad!"
Torvil smiled and waved at Vina and nodded at Ala.
Surion reached up to her "Vvvvvvvvvvvveeee"
"Morning Vina" Ala said sitting up watching her son curiously
Vina smiled and came over, picking him up. "Hey lil Sur..." She smiled.
Torvil watched.
Ala looked to her mate "Interesting...." she mused
Surion babbled in Vina's arms looking up at her
Torvil chuckled. "Yeah..."
Vina smiled and bounced him softly. "Hey... He was a good boy..."
Ala shook her head "I men it interesting to the fact I'm not sure he believes his ears over his eyes" Ala said
Surion giggled happily
Vina giggled and shook her head. "I'm sure he 's just confused..." She giggled. "Why don't you go see the guy who did it?"
"Well I'd have to say that's feasible considering you threw a book at your dad's head last night too" Ala sat up and turned to her husband
Torvil chuckled. "I'd say lets go..." He said softly.
Ala nodded and looked down at herself "I think I should change first... this may be acceptable in the Drow eyes but somehow I doubt with the Kerrsalians"
Torvil chuckled. "Yeah... But keep it around... I like it..." He smirked.
Vina gasped. "FATHER!"
Ala laughed and pushed back the blanket climbing from the bed and heading for the wardrobe the full extent of the outfit becoming rather obvious
Vina froze. "Oh good lord... She might as well not be wearing anything!" Vina said. "It's indecent!"
Torvil smirked. "And I like it!"
Ala laughed "Kept them from becoming suspicious so we could get your mate out Vina" Ala said grabbing some clothing and heading into the bathroom
Vina nodded. "But dad wants you too keep it!" She giggled. "I bet Joman wants me in that... rag..."
"I do actually... You'd look good..." Came Joman's voice from the door.
"Maybe I should give it to you then" she called from the bathroom which the door was not entirely closed
"Like hell you are!" Torvil called back. "You're keeping that for our next anniversary! I'll make Vina one..."
Vina turned bright red and Joman laughed.
"Nah you can make a new one for me... " she came out carrying the outfit "besides... you could have a lot more fun making one for me then for Vina" she said
Torvil purred softly and Vina was now a very deep red. "Go ahead and give it to her..." He said softly.
Joman was wiping tears form his eyes.
Ala giggled and handed the outfit not to Vina since Vina had Surion... but to Joman
Joman smiled and bowed. "Thank you mother..." He said softly. Torvil smiled. "You two watch Surion while me and Ala go please?"
Ala nodded "Enjoy, an outfit for your mate from your people's style" she said then headed towards Torvil
Joman smiled. "And there won't be another like it until Torvil makes it... Lord may they all be buried under rumble."
Vina smiled at Joman, a twinkle in her eye, she liked the thought of Joman being the last Drow on earth... From his stories he was the nicest...
Ala smiled and looked at her mate "You take us, I'm tired from what I did yesterday" she said
Torvil smiled and nodded. "Okay love..." He said softly standing and opening his arms to her.
"Back soon" she said facing her daughter and son before stepping closer to Torvil
Torvil purred and wrapped her up, jumping to Danyen.
Danyen today was out in the city and shook his head seeing them "Can't you two use the gates?"
Torvil chuckled weakly. "Faster not to... Besides, we mean you no harm..." He said. "We need to be changed back..." He then said bluntly
Ala blushed though it may not exactly be obvious
Danyen shook his head and stuck his hand in his robe pulling it back out with another vial and held it towards Torvil "Now I will give this to you so long as you use the gate to leave"
Torvil grunted. "ooookay..." He said softly, taking it.
Danyen nodded "Thankyou" he said watching them
Torvil took Ala's hands. "Here... Lets take this now..."
Ala nodded "Probably get less looks here that way" she said shifting her powers and again creating water in a glass
Torvil smiled and handed the vial to her first.
Ala nodded and drank some waters and some of the vial before handing both off to Torvil
Torvil smiled and repeated her process
the glass disappeared once Torvil finished
Torvil smiled and pulled her close. "Off to the gates..." He grunted.
Danyen and headed off on his way
staring at her hand watching it slowly revert to normal Ala moved close
Torvil worked her side softly with his fingers. "Love you..."
"I love you too" ala purred softly
Torvil smiled and kissed her cheek.
Ala purred and looked up towards him
Torvil smiled and kept walking ignoring those around him. "So... How's it feel?"
"How does what feel love?" Ala quirked a brow
"This whole place? To you...?" He asked.
"Odd really, probably cause there is so many, Before Kal I'd never seen another Kerrsalian" she admitted
Torvil nodded and walked with her. "Hmmmm..."
Ala looked at him "What?"
"Musing love..." He said softly.
"What are you musing about?" she asked seeing the gates in the distance
"Well, Its just different..." He said softly.
Ala nodded and cuddled his side
Torvil smiled and walked out of the gates, just waving at the guards.
"Lets go home... I want to rest, I want to relax, I want to cuddle my son" she said
Torvil smiled and jumped them home, no longer worried about direct jumping, having no real lists.
Ala purred happily as they landed in their home
Torvil kissed her and sat down on the bed. "why don't you get Surion..."
Ala nodded and left the room in search of her children
Vina and Joman were playing with him in the living room on the floor
Ala wandered into the living room smiling
Surion sees her "Mmmmmmmmaaa!"
Vina smiled. "See told ya!"
Ala chuckled "have fun?"
Vina smiled. "Yeah..." Joman nodded.
Ala joined then squatting down "Thankyou Vina, for taking care of your brother" she said reaching and picking Surion up
Vina smiled. "No prob... I'm going to go home now... Joman and I need to be together.
Ala nodded "Want your father to help you get there? would be easier then trying to fly the two of you, and faster" she said cuddling her son who was playing with her hair
Vina tapped her chin for a moment. "Do you think he could make it safe for the kids too?" She mused softly and then looked to Joman.
"If he can, I have no issue with it..." Joman said.
"I used the nether when I was pregnant with your brother, it should be fine for you too" Ala told her
Vina smiled and nodded. "Okay..." She said. "Can you go get him? Joman and I really don't want to move... I'm getting really close to delivery...."
Ala nodded and got up with Surion "Just make sure you let us know when you have them, already dealt once with not knowing and I'd rather not repeat having grandkids I know nothing about" she says to her on her way towards the door
Vina frowned. "Okay mom, I won't... I send Joman..." Who then stared at her like she was crazy.
Ala nodded and left the room heading towards her own, entering the room she spoke "Love you wanna get Vina and Joman back to the cliffs?"
Torvil got up and nodded. "Alright..." He said softly kissing her softly, heading for the living room.
Vina smiled and stood slowly, Joman moving with her.
Ala sat down on her bed cuddling with her son, feeding him and humming while she waited
Torvil came back awhile later, moving over to her when he entered the bedroom. "How's Sur?"
"Good, happy, feeding..." Ala said quietly
Torvil nodded and smiled, moving over to her and sat down slowly, smiling at her with a soft smile.
"I'm glad he recognizes us again" she said happily
Torvil chuckled and smiled. "That's good... Would have been weird that he kept trying to find us and we were right here..."
"Very much so, that seemed like what he was trying to do..." she mused
Torvil chuckled. "Which was funny I have to admit..." He lay down and brushed her cheek softly.
Ala purred softly "very" she replied running her finger along her son's soft cheek as he slept in her arms "Wanna hold him love?"
Torvil smiled. "Do I?" He grinned and took his son softly from her, beaming.
"you do make a wonderful father" she said softly
Torvil beamed. "Do I?" He chuckled softly.
"Aye you do, both for Surion and for Vina" she said with a nod
Torvil chuckled softly. "Thanks..." He smiled and brushed his son's cheek.
Ala leaned over and kissed his cheek
Torvil purred softly and smiled, looking over to her with a smile. "Shall we join Surion?
Ala nodded "I'm tired, I did a lot of jumping around yesterday" she said scooting down to lay down
Torvil purred and cuddled with her, closing his eyes.
Ala smiled and closed her eyes cuddling with their son between
Torvil purred loudly, and slowly let himself drift off to sleep with a happy grin
Ala yawned and dozed off
The next morning Torvil awoke with a yawn. "Mmmph?"
Surion was of current playing with his fathers nose, specifically he had a finger up a nostril
Torvil snorted and shook his head quickly, coughing weakly.
Surion whimpered pulling his finger back to himself
Torvil chuckled. "Daddy needs to breathe lil dude..." He chuckled.
Surion pouted and whimpered again
Torvil brushed his cheek softly. "Hey, hey lil sur..."
Surion looked at him still pouting
Torvil took his hand and put it back on his nose.
Surion smiled and gave his father's nose grabby hands
Torvil chuckled and let him have his fun.
Surion rolled and proceeded to climb as best he could atop his dad
Torvil chuckled and let him, being a good daddy mountain.
Ala slowly opened her eyes just barely to watch the noise that woke her
Surion pushed himself to sit atop his dad's chest before leaning forward going after his father's nose again
Torvil chuckled weakly and smiled, letting Surion be entertained as such. He grinned and just lay there, like a rock.
Surion giggled and scooted his little bum forward a little moving closer to his head till his legs hung over his shoulders looking down at him
Torvil chuckled and looked up at his son. "How are you doing lil dude?"
Surion watched him for a few minutes then his nose scrunched up
Torvil chuckled and he slowly slid Surion down and got out of bed, carrying his son to the nursery.
Ala giggled as Torvil disappeared out of the room
Torvil grinned and came back with Surion once he'd gone through the hassle of changing him.
Ala lay on her back her hands behind her head smiling
Torvil smiled and put Surion on her tummy before laying next to her.
Ala pulled her hands from behind her head "Hey there little man"
Surion giggled happily "Mmmmaa!"
Torvil beamed, and then heard a knock on the door. He got up grumbling.
Ala looked towards the door and got up holding Surion in her arms still wearing the same clothing she was wearing the night before
Torvil opened the door, and there, in their house, was Joman, panting and lathered. "Vina... Labor... Rough..." Seems she'd not been joking about sending Joman...
