Korvil smiled. "Good. Lunch is ready, your husband and son are already starting..." he smiled. "Melania, you're welcome to join us daughter..."

Ala nodded and wandered into the cave "Thanks" she said

Korvil nodded and walked in with her.

Melania followed, albeit with a bit of thought.

Ala headed into the kitchen "Heya" she said

Torvil smiled and looked up. "Hey love..." He had a steak of jaguar on his plate, about 2/3 of it left.

Melania went into the staging area to get some herself.

Ala ruffled her son's hair

Surion giggled and looked up his mouth full and waved at her

Torvil smiled at his sister. "It's good to see you back here..." "Ala's good like that..." She said softly.

Ala chuckled grabbing some meat for herself and joining her mate and son in eating

Surion waved at Melania as well

Melania smiled and waved at Surion. "I'm going to steal Ala a little bit this after noon... Ryokusen wants to talk to us..." She smiled softly, blushing.

Torvil's brow went up and he looked at Ala.

Ala shrugged "He said he has something to say that might interest me since I can heal with a touch"

Torvil nodded slowly but nudged his head more at his blushing sister. 'What I think?' he mouthed.

Melania was looking at her meat with a blush.

Ala nodded without saying a word

Surion looked at his aunt "Melaeee red"

Melania blushed more and started to eat her meat quickly.

Torvil bit his lip to keep from laughing.

Surion stared at her holding some meat to his mouth chewing at it

Melania looked up. "What? I'm... just... hot..." She murmured, fanning herself and reaching for something to drink.

"Dada red mama wear pretties" he said innocently

Melania bit her lip. "How... Interesting..." She murmured softly and looked down at her meat.

Torvil chuckled. "Yes Surion, that's right... That's because when mama wears pretties it's hard for dada to think straight, thankfully she's not used this for evil..."

Ala snorted and laughed "Maybe I should" she wiggled her brows at her mate

Surion giggled

Torvil chuckled softly. "That would be very fun of you..."

Melania was just blushing even more.

"Yeah let the dragon loose" she chuckled and moved back to eating

Surion was still staring at his aunt curiously

Melania looked at Surion and smiled softly. "Melania red same reason your father does..." She bit her lip.

Surion giggled and bounced in his seat "Melaee red, melaee red, like dada!"

Melania blushed more. "Do you think we can go after lunch Ala?" She asked softly.

Torvil chuckled softly and ate, having just been growling playfully at Ala.

"Fine by me" Ala said with a chuckled taking her eyes off Torvil "You take care of Surion love?" she looked back

Surion innocently kept chanting his little chant not knowing anything besides the fact it made his aunt a pretty red

Torvil chuckled. "Sure..." He smiled. He laughed softly at his son's antics which was only making Melania blush more.

Ala smiled and continued to eat

Melania was soon finished and she stood, wandering off and coming back with a large glass of juice and downing it.

Ala kissed her son and mate and got up ready to head out

Surion giggled "byebye mama"

Melania smiled. "Bye you two!"

Torvil chuckled. "Bye Ala-luv, by Melania, have a present meeting..."

Ala waved and wandered out of the kitchen heading for the cave entrance once more

Surion smiled he was still eating "Gwroar" he said looking down at it

Torvil chuckled softly. "That's it my son, eat the eater!"

Melania smiled and headed out of the cave..

Ala chuckled softly hearing the words as she left the cave

Surion giggled "gwroaroaroar" he said and took a big bite, one that was probably even too big for him

Torvil chuckled softly and watched him to make sure he didn't choke.

Melania looked at Ala with questioning eyes.

Ala quirked a brow "What's up?" she asked seeing the eyes

Surion chewed for a long time before he swallowed, after a moment he reached for his cup with two hands and drank from it

Torvil smiled softly and kept and eye on him still. "What's up with Torvil and the Jaguar meat with Surion?" she asked.

"Jakath led Surion and two girls down the ramp yesterday, that's the meat from the Jaguar that chased them back up it and was killed by Korvil" she said quietly

Melania nodded slowly. "Ah I see..." She murmured. "Jaguars are such nasty creatures..." She murmured softly. "I'm glad Korvil got it..." She smiled. "And it's good to see that no one was killed... no funerals..." She smiled softly, heading for the temple.

"It almost got Jakath, Surion threw some rocks at it from what I hear" she said and headed in the direction of the temple

Melania smiled more. "Wow... That was brave of the little guy, I have no worries about his hunt now, he'll do great!" She smiled, heading for the temple at a slow enough walk that Ala could walk and not fly, more out of 'conserderation' than fear.

Ala chuckled "guess you'll see when the time comes" she said keeping up a quick pace , when they neared the temple Ala slowed for a moment touching the symbol on the wall with a smile before continuing

Melania again raised a brow. "I've always wondered why that's there?" The Symbol was warm, a good luck vibe.

"It's Visha's" she said with a smile as she continued

Melania smiled and nodded. "Ah..." She purred softly and nodded slowly entering the temple, and then freezing, face going beet red. In the pond, stood Ryokusen, with no shirt, he looked to be fixing something, and he was sweating up a storm.

Ala walked over to the pool not saying anything "Whatcha trying to fix?" she asked

"One of the cracks got wider..." He said softly. "I could use an extra set of hands... The cement I'm using isn't setting right... too much water..." He sighed. "I-I'll help!"

Melania stuttered, getting into the water too, and noting he was trying to move the fountain over a little to avoid the crack,

Ala chuckled and looked at the water, in a moment her eyes were green and she pushed the water a bit to get it out of the way

Ryokusen smiled and nodded at her. "Thanks..." He said as he and Melania moved the fountain, then they both started to add the cement, once it was in and set Ryokusen motioned for her to add the water again. "Thanks, that helped a lot... Lets head to my office." He got out of the water and dried off, slipping back on his shirt. Melania just watched him, and she unconsciously licked her lips.

Ala chuckled and let go her eyes returning to normal 'tell him' she mouthed

Melania bit her lip. 'wait... Tell him I'll be right with you...' She mouthed and darted out. Ryokusen turned around slowly. "Mph? Where did Melania go?"

"She'll be here in a moment" she said "Least I imagine" she shrugged

Ryokusen sighed and rubbed his temples. "Alright... well I'm sure it's important..." He stopped talking as she came back in. His eyes were wide. Melania had one of the small red flowers in her hand. She walked up to him and slowly reached up taking one of them and putting it in his hand. Ryokusen looked at it a moment, then at her.

Ala took a few steps back giving them a little space

Melania bit her lip and started to turn away. Ryokusen grabbed her wrist with his free hand, and pulled her back to him. He took the red flower, and put it in her hair. Then he pulled her into a kiss.

Ala grinned she was glad for this happening. she sat on a nearby ledge and waited

They slowly pulled back and Melania smiled and blushed hotly. Ryokusen softly brushed her cheek. "Thank you..." He murmured softly. "I've been waiting..." he said softly. "Now lets go, we can talk of this more later... Love..."

Melania smiled softly and nodded still holding his hand as they headed for his office. "Hurry up Ala!"

Ala got up and hurried after them holding back her chuckled

They entered Ryokusen's office and he sat down with a smile. "Now down to business..." he chuckled softly. Melania nodded weakly with a blush.

Ala sat down and crossed her legs on the char she sat on since it was a bit too tall to sit the normal way

Ryokusen nodded slowly. "Well to start... Melania... I wanted to talk to you... about your ability..." He said softly.

Melania's eyes went wide." How do you know about that!" She asked suddenly sitting up straight. "The Grand hunter told me... You're touched by Visha Melania... you have the spark... You could be a great Healer..."

Ala looked over at Melania a look of curiosity on her face

Melania bit her lip. "But... But..." She sighed and closed her eyes. "Fine..." She murmured. Ryokusen sighed. "You don't have to if you don't want to Melania I'm not going to force you..." Melania smiled weakly. "Well I kind of want to know what the Healers do..." She said softly and leaned forwards.

Ala listened with interest, she was kinda curious that fact herself

Ryokusen smiled and there was a soft shimmer and then suddenly.... Well Ryokusen was robbed in white now, and he stood. "This... Is what we do..." He smiled. Melania stared in awe. "You mean... The Healer?"

Ala chuckled, she remembered wearing a white dress once, she'd only ever worn it once as well

Ryokusen nodded. "Yes... The Healer... Just as you do The Totem..." He said.

Melania bit her lip. "Ala is not a hunter Ryokusen..." She said softly. "Please don't... talk about that..."

Ala ignored the comments about the hunters, she knew that was not for her to know... yet

Ryokusen sighed. "Alright... But anyway..." He said softly. "You have the spark... I would like to train you..."

Melania bit her lip. "I don't think I would learn much that way..." She giggled weakly.

Ala chuckled "sounds like something that would be of help to you Melania"

Melania blushed. "Oh alright... I'll do it... But only if you teach me..." She murmured looking at Ryokusen.

"Of course I will..." He smiled and sat back down, returning to normal. He smiled at her softly and you could tell that he was happy she had told him.

Ala smiled "So you said this might interest me, was there something that affects me?

Ryokusen smiled softly. "Yes... I'm not sure how much the similarities between the healer and you Kerrsalians are... But Visha asked me to ask you to train some of the not so focused ones..." He nodded his head. "She said you could, or you would know someone who could..."

"I'm not sure exactly how I would train them, I suppose either yourself or Visha could tell me that one" she mused

Ryokusen smiled softly. "Is there any special training required in the Kerrsalian healing techniques or... is it all body?

"The gem channels our energy towards healing, the biggest 'training' that it has is learning to control it and knowing when to stop before you use all your own energy up and pass out" she told him

"Can you teach that?" he asked softly. "The Healer form is slightly similar, though we use a bond to Visha, but it does drain us..."

"I might be able to, I'm not sure, I know I'll have to train Surion when his time comes" she said with a nod

He smiled. "Thank you... We've lost two already, I'd hate to lose anymore..." He said softly.

"I know the first time I used my ability here I made a healer pass out and then get himself rather.... drunk...." she mused

"He's... not one of the gifted... Not many know of our presence... I wish we could tell them but until we've got enough properly trained..." He sighed. "And by lost, two of our trainees... Didn't stop... and died..."

Ala sighed "Well that's one big difference, a Kerrsalian will pass out and stop giving energy before he or she will die, there's not many ways to easily kill one of us"

He nodded. "But you can train them to know when to stop... right... Visha wouldn't have pointed me to you if she didn't know you could help..."

"Visha knows a lot, I'll give her that, I can try... but I can't guarantee that I'm going to be able to teach how to stop something that may or may not be the same" she said

He nodded. "I'm sure she'll help you too..."

Melania smiled at her sister in law. "If Visha pointed to you.." She shrugged. "I wouldn't argue with her..."

"No I probably wouldn't either, I've seen her anger.. and her compassion too" she said softly

Melania smiled softly. "You are a very lucky person Ala..." She said softly. "I've only seen her..." She sighed. "I can't say..."

"One day Melania... one day" she said and smiled softly

Melania nodded. "Yeah... And quickly too cause damn it's hard to keep secrets from you... I can see why Torvil's having a fit..."

Ala laughed "Especially since he's trying not to tell me things that worry him regarding our son's turn"

Melania nodded. "Aye..." She said softly with a nod. "I'm sure he's told you all he's been able, and probably a little more..." She smiled weakly.

"No he stops himself, and I don't push for it, I understand it, even my twin has things she can't tell me as a Kerrsalian Wisen Apprentice" she said

Melania nodded and sighed. "I wish things were different... But yeah..." "There are things we cannot tell the people as well... Like Visha's a brat sometimes..." He chuckled.

Ala laughed "She's also a very compassionate woman, and funny... and my son is absolutely crazy over the blanket he has"

Ryokusen laughed, "Aye, she is all those things too..." he smiled and nodded.

Melania smiled softly. "Is that all for business then?" She asked. "Aye, I do believe it is..."

Ala smiled "I think this is where I exit stage left and leave you two to get to know each other better" she winked standing up

Melania smiled. "Thank you Ala... I couldn't have done this without your prodding..." She giggled. "But please... My house is only a few down from my mothers... Do feel free to stop by anytime..."

Ryokusen smiled. "The temple is my home, you are always welcome here..."

Ala nodded and left them to be outside the temple she unfurled her wings and flew back Mitizimi's cave

Torvil was busy with Surion, teaching him to count properly.

"Two three seven" he said with a grin pointing at the items his father used

Ala smiled and folded her wings walking in "Hello I back"

"Hi love... No Surion.... One, Two, Three..." He pointed at the items in their piles.

"One Two .... Free" he repeated preoccupied with his learning

Ala chuckled and went in search of her mother in law

Mitizimi was in her room, trying to keep the now very energetic... talking children under control.

Ala chuckled seeing the group "Looks like you have a handful" she said peeking her head in the door

"Like you wouldn't believe, but don't worry I've handled worse..." She smiled softly, tho she was moving a bit slow.

"Are you ok? you been moving pretty sore like since I first saw you today" Ala said entering and walking closer

"I'm sore... This is... Well... one of many batches of children... I'll be sore for a week or so and be fine..." She sighed.

Ala walked up to her and knelt "I think I could probably help you there" she said with a soft smile

Mitizimi smiled weakly and reached out to brush her cheek. "You're an absolute dear you know that..."

"I don't like seeing people in pain, it's how I really got to know your son more" she said "Helped heal him" she reached a hand and put it on her mother in laws side watching Mitizimi's face as her gem started to glow

Mitizimi let out a soft gasp and shivered. "Thank you Ala..." She smiled. "You're like one of the gifted..."

Ala pulled away when she was done "This is part of who I am, part of what my people do, that's all" she said "But I thought you might be interested to know something"

Mitizimi tilted her head. "Oh?" she asked.

"Yes... Your daughter is sitting with a male right now... and she has a lovely red flower in her hair" she grinned

Mitizimi smiled brightly and her eyes just lit up. "Oh my..." She smiled, putting a hand to her chest. "I thought this day would never come..."

Ala chuckled "She had someone she liked, was just afraid to tell him because of who he is" she said softly

Mitizimi tilted her head, her eyes full of questions.

"The High Priest... Ryokusen" she said with a soft smile

Mitizimi's eyes went wide. "Oh my... I thought... He never..." She bit her lip. "Oh my..."

Ala laughed "Turns out he was hoping she'd say something though"

Mitizimi laughed softly. "A strange man... A strange man... But wise... and strong... He'll do find with her..."

Ala chuckled "Ok I'm going to leave you with your clutch and haul my own kid and mat homewards.. you be relaxed" she said and stood up to head for the door

Mitizimi smiled. "I will be... Thank you Ala... Have a good stay

Ala smiled and headed out the door

"One Two..." Surion was now just playing getting bored of counting

Torvil smiled and ruffled his hair. "Looks like it's go time Sur..." He smiled.

"Yep, bed time for little dragons" she said with a chuckle

"Noooo, no go" Surion pouted holding his counting items in his hands

Torvil chuckled. "If Sur go bed Sur get treat...." He smiled Standing and moving to pick him up.

"Otay dada" Surion relented and reached up to be lifted up

Torvil smiled and picked him up, moving over to Ala to kiss her cheek, then headed out of the cave towards home.

"Kissing.... bet that's what Melania is doing right about now... and quite likely more" she mused

Torvil laughed softly. "Made her move did she?" He asked softly with a smile.

Ala laughed "Yes, gave him a red flower, which he proceeded to put into her hair"

Surion blinked "Fower" he repeated his eyes looking around the area

Torvil smiled. "I expect a wedding soon..." He smiled, and brushed Surion's hair. "Nothign here but us Sur..."

Ala nodded "It wouldn't shock me at all" she said

Surion nodded slowly and cuddled close to his father

Torvil smiled and walked into their cave, heading for Surion's room to put him to bed. "Yeah..."

"Sur sleep wif dragons?" he asked looking up at his father

Torvil smiled. "Yes, Surion sleep with dragons..." He said, laying his son on his pallet and moving the dragons over.

Surion pulled each and every one of them closer to himself so he was nearly hidden in the middle of them and hugged one of them tightly in his arms

Torvil kissed the top of his head. "Have a good sleep Surion... You're safe, mommy and daddy are just down the hall... Just shout if you're scared..." He got up and headed to go to bed himself. He was tired.

Surion nodded "Otay dada" he said burying himself deeper against the dragons as his father left

Ala waited outside the door for Torvil with a smile

Torvil smiled and yawned. "Bed..." He chuckled softly. "I spent most of last night thinking..."

"Thinking about Surion's hunt?" she asked looping her arm into his

Torvil bit his lip. "Thinkiing about you hunting... and Surion's hunt... and lots of stuff..." He murmured, kissing her cheek as he headed for the pallet.

"About me hunting huh, is that bad?" she asked and crawled into the pallet after him

Torvil looked her in the eyes for a moment. "No..." He said softly. Kissing her before closing his eyes and hugging her close. "Then I can give you a name to call me that only you and Surion can..." He said softly.

Ala quirked a brow but said nothing she wasn't going to ask

Torvil smiled and kissed her nose. "You'll see... Goodnight my love..." He murmured, closing his eyes and falling asleep.

Ala nodded and curled up cuddling close to him as she to went to sleep
