The night was long and the more sleep that Mizuki got the more he felt tired. It was the off and on sleeping that began to get to him but he would deal with it. The last time in morning when the kids woke Mizuki just didnt stir. No he didnt want to move. Though as Thalion came back to bed and sat on the edge. Moving Mizuki came up behind the male before moving and setting his feet on either side of Thalion.

Rapping his arms around the males chest he sighed a little "You so great" Mizuki said with a smile as he placed a kiss on Thalions cheek 'More then I could ever ask for" Mizuki said as he rested his head on Thalions shoulder.

Mizuki could tell that Thalion was tired. He was to though he knew not as much as the male was that was for sure. "Tell you what.." Mizuki said still hugging the male into his chest with Thalion half laying down Mizuki continued to speak "You stay here and get some sleep" He said lightly 'There is not much to do today...I just have to make some arrangements with the queen" Mizuki said with a little smile "I will get Neimi to help me...." He said lightly.

With a kiss to Thalions neck Mizuki pulled back a little and whispered "Besides...what good are you to be tired?" He asked as he gave the ear a little lick before pulling back. Mizuki knew that Thalion was tired he was to though Thalion seemed more so them himself. So it was all he could do to help the male "I will get something made and sent up to eat for when im done with the queen' Mizuki said with a smile as he snuggled his head into Thalions neck with a little sigh.

[Rosekitten]

Well it was the nice sound of silence for a moment till he heard the other stirring. After a moment he had a head resting on his shoulder after a light kiss. "Hrm? what'd I do now?" He questioned hardly seeing how he had done anything overly special by taking care of some babies over the course of one night. "It wasn't that hard, they slept pretty well actually.." Given that they were newborns and only woke up a few times. Though that could change after a few days as they got more adjusted.

After a moment Mizuki seemed to keep hugging him before getting him to half lay down with him as he spoke. He started to protest to Mizuki saying he could take care of things. He wasn't sure how much Mizuki knew on babies or children or anything of that matter. Though mentioning Neimi would help made him feel a bit better, also he knew Mizuki was still recovering.

"What arrangements?" He had to ask, for one he never trusted royals and after the mess they had gone through he still wasn't too trusting of any of them no matte where they were from or what race. There was still half a thought that he could stay up still, not like things were going to get easier and besides he didn't mind staying away when there was something to do. Not like it was the first time.

Well Mizuki had a point after he sighed a little giving up this fight and turning his head a little after the light kiss to his neck. "Yeah.. true." Though he did normally sleep in he was hardly one to rest for extended periods of time. Though he was waiting for Neimi to come in here and start telling him he needed the rest as well.

"You better hurry back." He said with a slight smile looking up at Mizuki as the other seemed to move a little to start to get up. Though he had to admit he was thinking on a few things. What if the war went badly still? The last thing he wanted was to leave two babies without their parents. Also he was wondering when the link between himself and Mizuki was going to kick in. It hadn't yet he knew that much.

[Pinkie]

He smiled after awhile before he went to get out of the bed. He blew a little kiss to Thalion as he saw the male watching. Mizuki went about what needed to be done. Getting dressed he brushed his hair and braided it before tieing the end off and throwing it over his shoulder so it landed down a thigh brushing the tops of his knees.

After he got dressed he got a guard and sent for Neimi. Right away as soon as a healer was requested the questions came if the babies were okay if anything was wrong and it took Mizuki a little while to convince the guard that everything was fine. Though as he did the male left and soon after returned with Neimi in toe. "Is everything okay?" The female asked as she saw Mizuki standing outside of the room waiting for the female.

Mizuki sighed a little "Everything is fine..." He stated "I just need your help for awhile" He said and at this got a questioning look from Neimi. "I am forcing Thalion to sleep so I need your help with the babies while I talk with the queen" Mizuki said and Neimi nodded her head "Alright I can do that!' She said in a happy voice. Yep Mizuki knew that she was the right person to ask.

"Be quit now..." He said to her as he turned and entered the room. Walking over Mizuki gathered Nytria into his arms and smiled down at the baby before motioning towards Belquiri who was wide awake kicking about. Moving over to the bed he smiled down at a sleeping Thalion. Leaning over he kissed the male on the forehead before he stood and headed out the door with Neimi in toe.

Dealing with the queen had taken Mizuki longer then he thought it would. But when he was finished he was sure that Thalion could go for some good news. So from there he headed to the kitchen and placed his order of food to be sent to his room. He was not planning on leaving it for the rest of the night. When that was finished Neimi and himself headed for his chambers.

About the time he was finished with everything the evening hours were approaching. He was tired and he knew he showed it with half lidded eyes and ears dipped back as he hugged Nytria to his chest as he walked. The little baby male was sitting on Mizukis arm as he leaned into the males chest with his hands curled by his face just sleeping away. To make sure the male didnt fall Mizuki had his other arm up and holding a small back as he made little rubbing motions.

Reaching the room Mizuki entered first and as he saw Thalion standing by the fire place he smiled softly before he walked in fallowed by Neimi. Carefully the both of them put the sleeping children into the carraiges "Well...that was an eventfull day" He said as he stretched his arms and cracked his back. Turning to Neimi he smiled at the female "Thank you for your help..." He said and she smiled at him "No problem but I need to go and gather things now so I will see you 'lords' tomorrow!' She said with a little giggle before leaving the room and softly closing the doors behind her.

Mizuki then moved over to Thalion and placed his head on the males shoulder "So...how did you rest?" Mizuki asked with a soft voice. Mizuki knew that he had been gone for most of the day but it was worth it in the end. As the male spoke he smiled lightly before he moved from the spot he was in to sit down in one of the large plush chairs infront of the crackling fire. Moving so he lifted a leg up he rested it on his other knee as he began to rub his own sore feet.

"Well...I have good news for you" Mizuki said after a moment or two when the male asked what the news was. "Arrangements have been made and within a few days we head back home" He said with a smile as he looked up at the male "Supplies will be gathered as well as forces..." He said with a smirk to him before looking back down to his foot as he rubbed over sore places "Not to mention supplies and healers..." He said with a little laugh.

It had taken Mizuki the longest time with the queen to convince her that he needed to head back and take care of everything with the eastern king. Though after awhile of almost yelling he did convince her that he was leaving with or with out her blessing. So with that she agreed though only with forces fallowing and Mizuki smirked. That was his plan. So from there they decided on what he was going to take and how many troops of each. He managed a group of ten healers, fifty worriors, and fourty mages. Not to mention the supplies the queen wanted to send with him. All of this was explained to Thalion as he sat there.

[Rosekitten]

He'd say he was forced to sleep though he hardly fought it and seemed to easily fall asleep once Mizuki left the room anyway. He didn't even notice Neimi and Mizuki come back into the room to get the babies. Probably a good thing, he needed the sleep and it was the only time his mind stopped worrying for a bit. Not always though, he'd probably wake up later with some worry or another.

After a while he did wake up but that was because he seemed to sleep longer then he intended to. Mizuki still wasn't back? Well he'd be back sooner or later he guessed as he sighed a little going over a few troubled thoughts. The main one being what if what he was told didn't work. With that last spell he knew that his time was limited and he needed to fix this. Though it was already being forced to wait till the war was over. No point in starting a new war within the current.

Thalion glared at Neimi at the mentioning of the word lords. She was doing that on purpose. Though it did finally distract him from his thoughts seeing as he was blankly watching the fireplace. He'd stop worrying someday, maybe. Ok probably not. He breathed out a little at Mizuki's question. "Well enough." Missed things being simple, things like this were.. not in his tastes to say the least.

Mizuki spoke up shortly after saying there was good news and right away started explaining it. Home was the best news he had heard in a while. The addition of troops and supplies was even better. That gave them a rather respectable force. Still out numbered by the King's army but that was expected. But with healers they had a better chance and mages for ranged.

Though after Mizuki explained how that conversation had went and he had convinced the Queen he was leave and thats when she said he was only allowed to if he took troops. Ah yes a question then, one he had thought of before but never really seriously about. So after the war... what then?" Like they were going to win it or something, ok they could.

He meant what would happen after the war, it was probably expected Mizuki return here. But it was that thought that worried Thalion a little. Not wanting to leave Mizuki he'd be forced to come here as well, maybe he could fix relations with the two races, though that would take time. Though a moment later he shook his head a little. "Forget I asked that, we have this war to win first."

[Pinkie]

What then...Yes that was a question that Mizuki himself often found hismelf asking. Though the only thought that came to mind was his family that he had now. Nothing mattered as to what happened as long as they were together...right? Well at least that is what Mizuki thought. "To be honest..." Mizuki began as he gave a little shurg of his shoulders before he picked his other foot up and did the same treatment to it as the other before he continued "I...dont know" He said a little.

After that the room was silent so Mizuki thought that he should try and make his answer more clear "Well I mean...many things could come from this war" He said after he finished with his foot he stood with a little groan. Walking over to Thalion he rapped his arms around the male with a smile "All I do know is as long as I have you..." He said before looking to the carriages of the sleeping babies "And them..." He said before looking back "It does not matter what happens" He said as he leaned in and gave the male a little kiss.

Pulling back he smiled to Thalion "Who knows...so manyt things could come from this..." He said lightly with a tilt of his "Maybe...after awhile..." Mizuki began before he paused "We could be at peace" He said with a smile before he leaned in and kissed Thalion before him. It was a long drawn out slow and deep kiss as he moved his arms up around the males neck and shoulders.

However their little moment was broken by a knock at the door. Pulling back he gave a little growl. Moving away from Thalion he walked to the door with a scowl on his face. He would of screamed across the room to whoever was there to leave them be but the babies stopped that. Reaching the door he opened it and saw the guard on the other side "What now..." He asked and the male stuttered a little "Um...your food Mi'lord" He said and Mizuki smiled. He had forgot about that "Aww yes...bring it in" He said before he stopped "Quietly though...by the gods if you wake those babies..." He said to the little group of men that held dishes.

Walking into the room he motioned for the food to be placed at the table off to the side where two chairs sat. After the food was placed and the males left Mizuki smiled to Thalion "Well...shall we eat while we have a chance?" He asked with a smile before moving and sitting down at the table. Mizuki had noticed that the kids woke anywhere was 3-4 hours after falling asleep so if Mizuki was right they had about another two or so hours before they would have to deal with young ones again.

[Rosekitten]

It was true a lot could come of this, good, bad and otherwise. He nodded a little closing his eyes as Mizuki tried to explain that better. "Thats true.." He finally said as Mizuki said as long as they were all together nothing else really mattered. Though he smiled at the thought of some of the options they might have. "I swear if I get called lord or something referencing royal a few more times I might snap though as a warning." Though he was jesting... ok maybe not as much as he should be.

"Peace seems like a fools dream." He had reason behind such words. So long as there was life on this world there would never be true peace. Even someone alone could fight among themselves. "Maybe for a while though." He said before Mizuki kissed him. Though it was short lived contact as he had barely moved to keep the other close in his own arms as a knock was heard. Mizuki growling a little made him smile shaking his head. "Better get use to that." He said teasing.

This was fun to watch really. Seeing Mizuki snap at the poor guard and warn the lot of them to not wake the babies. He had half a mind to tell Mizuki the odds of them waking up if they were truly asleep were slim to none at this age. When they got a bit older it was another story but for now they could sleep through a war near about.

He sighed a little after things were settled and Mizuki spoke up about eating while they could. "Might be a good idea" Ah yes times like this the two would soon learn to make the most of, as the children got a bit older they would have less time to spend really. With the babies staying awake more and being more active. Though maybe they had some time to spare before that, though he questioned how long with the known fact they were suppose to age a little faster. But that was suppose to stop after a certain age as well.

After a few days things were gathered, supplies and troops and they made way to return to the main camp where the final stand would be. Things had to be planned out and the different troops had to get use to fighting with one another. For the first time in years multiple races were fighting for one cause. It was almost amazing in its own way.

The sight of the camp entrance was one that had not come a moment too soon. Though there was a lot to take care of and more then anything he wanted to know how things had fared and what reports the scouts had brought back. That would let them know how close the King was to finding this place and how much time they had.

Thalion was carrying Belquiri at the moment as Neimi was busy cooing at Nytria. In her mind it was like having new siblings seeing as she had lived with Thalion for so long. Raden would be in for a shock at the least seeing as the male treated her like a younger sister. It was a odd family and it had been expanded a little. Though it was more amazing to her how big the two were getting already. They weren't but a few days old and they were trying to work on sitting up already.

[Pinkie]

The trip had been a long one. With the childern teleporting was not an option. They had to travel the whole way so that added more time then what was wanted for the group. By the time the camp entrance came into view the entire group was happy. Carts and men walked and traveled in a large group as they headed for the entrance.

Mizuki was busy talking with some men as they walked so he was happy when Neimi offered to take Nytria so he could do his work faster. He was greatfull for it as he walked and talked. By the time they reached the camp it was late afternoon early evening. Mizuki knew there had been a report of their return and he was right as they entered the caves and everyone was starting to gather around to welcome the group home.

Mizuki smiled as he said his hellos as he walked in. He met and talked with alot of them though the one that he saw next he hugged "About time you got home" Luna said as she stepped back looking to Mizuki. Mizuki smiled "Oh yes...its good to be home trust me" He said with a little laugh though he stopped at the smile that was on Luna's face. "What?" Mizuki asked as he tilted his head.

Luna smirked some more before she crossed her arms "Oh...things have changed" She said with a smile and Mizuki laughed a little "Oh you have no idea my dear...none" He said as he nodded his head. Luna raised a brow at this "Oh I bet you mine beats yours" She said and Mizuki smirked "I bet not" He said with a smile and Luna laughed a little "We shall see..." She said lightly "However...im not the only one that wants to say hello" She spoke.

Mizuki tilted his head at this 'What on earth are you-" Though his words were cut off as it took him everything to keep his balance as he was tackled by some one who shouted his name "MIZUKI!" He heard before he looked down at the male in his arms. "Oh...Why hello there Needren!" He said with a little laugh.

Needren held onto him for a while as he burried his head into Mizukis back "We have been apart for so long!" He said and Mizuki laughed "It has not been that long you know" He said lightly though Needren pulled back and looked at him though still held him "Are you kidding me!" He said "Its been ages..." This was when he leaned in a little and whispered into Mizukis ear "To long infact..." He said before pulling back and giving a kiss to a pale cheek.

Mizuki stood there frozen. Before something like that kiss to the cheek he would of brushed off and called the male crazie or something. Though right now he didnt know what to do. Alot has changed from those times.

[Rosekitten]

The trip was a long one, more then long actually. Though he was hardly going to complain that they did not have to use magic to get back. No any excuse to avoid traveling in such a way was a good one if you asked him. Though two infants with them hardly made things easier to travel either. But none the less they made their way home finally. Well if you could call it that. It wasn't anywhere he wanted to stay forever but it had been home for quite a while now.

For the time being Neimi had little Nytria and the baby seemed ok with this. Neimi cooing at the baby and talking almost none stop. After a while when they got to the gates she laughed a little before saying welcome home like the babies knew what she was talking about. Oh was it good to be back here. Away from all the royal fussing and ... wait he was still going to have to deal with a bit of that wasn't he.

None the less the group was welcomed and Mizuki was busy talking with Luna for a moment. This was when Neimi quickly found Raden and forced the poor male to hold a baby. Though she was correcting his arms right away as she rolled her eyes before saying the baby's name and such. Raden hardly looked thrilled to be holding a baby, though having one forced on you in such a way was probably a bit unsettling. Not that Nytria seemed to care one bit.

This was when Felix looked at Thalion after watching Neimi and Raden. "We adopting babies now?" Thalion laughed weakly before shaking his head. "There is a bit of a tale behind that... it might be best explained in length." Felix laughed a little before agreeing on this, though by this time Needren had tackled Mizuki saying how much he had missed him and stuff. This hardly caused him to really blink much on the sight. It was what followed after that made him question that such a thing did not just happen. Luna had moved back from Mizuki a little so Needren didn't tackle her in the process but she wasn't that far away still.

Mizuki hardly seemed to do anything besides stand there. After everything and he was just standing there? Let alone Needren seemed to have one of those grins like he was planning something more. There was going to be one thing that was straightened out right here and now before things went any further.

Walking past Luna he paused a little before asking her to hold Belquiri. Luna started to protest but seemed to pause after a moment and finally agreed to taking the baby. Probably right away knowing who the baby belonged to with her being dragonkin and all. This was when Thalion walked towards Mizuki and Needren still clinging to him.

Grabbing Needren by the collar his ears went back a little. "We haven't even been back five minutes and you kiss someone else's mate? Let alone in front of the babes as well?" Considering things Needren might be lucky Thalion didn't just punch him straight away. It had crossed his mind though, but he'd wait for the smart remark so he had a valid reason to knock his head off where he stood.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki was in shock as everything played out before him. He should of expected something like that to happen but when it did he didnt know what to do. It was not until Thalion all but grabbed Needren before he even moved gasping a little as he took a step back.

Needren growled as he looked at Thalion before him though as the male spoke he stopped his movememnts. "Mate....babies...' He said looking past Thalion. Sure enough he saw to young childern around him though that didnt stop the words from coming out of his lips. "Huh so your adopting strays now huh..." He said with a little laugh before he growled "Also...why would some one like him..." He said looking to Mizuki "Lay with some one like...you" He said with a little growl.

Mizukis mind began to think over responses to that but Needren spoke again "Surely you can not make me believe that he would willingly lay with you let alone choose to create a family with you" He said with a laugh "Thats funny" Needren said as he pushed Thalion away "He is to good for you" He said in a hiss glaring at Thalion.

Oh that was it! Mizuki had had enough of this little conversation. Walking taking the steps needed he headed for the males "Looks hes coming to tell you him-" But his words were cut off as he stumbled to the side with an enraged Mizuki before him "How dare you!" He stated with a hiss "Who the hell do you think you are?!" He said "Telling my husband and father of my childern that he is not good enough for me! Where the hell do you get the nerve!?" Mizuki asked before punching the male again.

"I have told you time and time again Needren...you...me...N.e.v.e.r....will happen" He said with a glare that could make ice shiver "Do I make my self clear?" He said with bawled fists "If I hear you speak ill of my family again there will not be a hole small enough for you to crawl into" He said with a hiss before turning on his heel. Walking over to Luna he took Belquiri and began to walk off. Though he knew he was not alone as Luna fallowed him and he was sure that Thalion would as well.

There was some things that he needed to do and it was going to take a little bit of time. Right now however at the moment he wanted nothing more then to get away from the male that made him so angry.

[Rosekitten]

Needren was just going to keep going on wasn't he?It might have been a good thing Mizuki stepped in when he did or Needren might have found out Thalion's real thoughts on all of this and everything he had said. Nope before Thalion could even think of what he wanted to do first to put this male in his place Mizuki had already done so.

Let alone telling him that they would never be, apparently this had been a conversation they had had before. Though after a moment Mizuki stormed off and Luna followed behind him after he had taken the baby from her. Needren still seemed like he was in shock at the moment.

"Well it seems you have a answer." He said before walking off to make sure Mizuki wasn't going to do anything too drastic. Though he seemed ticked that was certain. Neimi half dragged Raden to follow seeing as he still had the other baby. More like she was forcing him to hold the baby. Saying it'd do him some good for later in life.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki walked though he paused a moment to allow Thalion to catch up to him "Im sorry...I may regret this later but...its better then killing the male" He said as he handed Belquiri to Thalion. Turning he continued walking even ignoring the words that came from Luna and Thalion. Right now his mind was more then angry and he needed to get some frustrations out and the best way for that is for him to waste what energy he had left.

With that thought he found himself infront of the little shop. Well...little for now. Telling the group to stop and step back he began his spell. It took him some time to do it but when it was finished he smiled a little looking at the much larger place before them. The shop was still attached to the front though the back of it was larger. Now with a large room that had a smaller attached to it. As well as a larger bathroom and a room for Neimi not to mention a room for Luna as well as a kitchen and living area.

Mizuki's knees wobbled a little. To get everything the way he wanted it to go it took more energy then he thought it would but he was glad it was finished. His anger was gone and he sighed as Luna spoke up behind him "So...I think you won the bet" She said with a smile and Mizuki just laughed weekly "Come in side and we will have some tea...and I will explain everything he said as she came up and helped him inside. He didnt protest to the help.

[Rosekitten]

Taking the baby from Mizuki he heard the other say that this was better then killing Needren. "I dunno about that." Was the semi smart remark before he questioned what Mizuki was doing. Though Luna had beat him to asking that. Not that she got a answer from Mizuki. Well might as well keep following him to make sure he didn't hurt himself.

Though the question was answered as Mizuki seemed to stop in front of the little shop and the house attached to it. Oh he could see where this was going. Mizuki had done something similar when they needed to expand the area for the other troops. Though it was a heck of a way to take out any anger he had that was for sure.

Once everything was finished and Mizuki seemed to stand there though a little weak looking, though Thalion could tell this better then anyone. The last few days had been when the link between them had really started to kick in and make itself noticed. Well... that solved a problem they had talked about on the trip here. Granted this wasn't in the way he thought it would be fixed but still.

He was glad Luna helped Mizuki walk though seeing as he still had a baby. Neimi finally took the other little one from Raden as he stepped back right away so she couldn't change her mind. This was about when Luna said Mizuki had won the bet she had spoken of earlier. Though Neimi waited a moment before looking towards Thalion and speaking up. "So why can't you do anything useful like that?" She was just teasing but she followed Luna and Mizuki none the less.

Thalion stood there a moment with Raden as he shook his head a little. "Well apparently I do nothing useful." Raden laughed a little knowing Thalion wasn't taking that serious. Though never the less Thalion let out a heavy breath before following the others. Raden said he needed to get back to his post seeing as things were settled. Not like he lived with them, he had moved out once he was able to.

Neimi still had the other baby as she was watching Luna and Mizuki. Well this would take some getting use to. Not everyday a building you were use to the layout of got expanded. At the least he didn't have to deal with being called lord here. Though he did wish that Mizuki had given a bit of a warning seeing as the lack of energy the other had at the moment wore on him a bit now.

[Pinkie]

From there Mizuki had showed the small group where and what room each of them had. Mizuki had the layout in his head for some time now so he was glad that he had the chance to do it even if it was when he didnt have the energy to do it with. That at the moment didnt matter. No he needed the anger gone and that was that.

From there tea was had after the kids were put to bed and Mizuki and Thalion explained everything to Luna. The female taking everything in stride as she listened to what was said "So let me get this right...You are gone for a little over four months and you come back married to Thalion with two kids and the future king of the elven people?" Luna asked with a nod of her head and he nodded his as well.

Leaning back into her chair with her arms crossed she sighed a bit "Well then..." She said lightly. Looking to Thalion she smirked a little "I knew you were good for something" She said with a smirk before she got some smart remark from Thalion though she didnt expect anything the less "Oh and just so you know you hurt him...ever...your dead" She said with a growl and a glare though this caused Mizuki to laugh "You dont need to worry about that..." Mizuki said looking to Thalion "...trust me..." He said leaning in and kissing a dark cheek before sitting back.

Just as he was about to say something else he didnt have the time until a cry was heard from the other room. "Well...thats my cue" He said with a sigh as he stood and headed for the room. After a few moments he returned again with Belquiri the female still whimpering in his arms as he rocked lightly before sitting down beside Thalion again "Some ones a little cranky" He said looking down to the female in his arms as she gave a pout and a sniffle looking at the two of them.

After that it took him some time to talk with Luna before Belquiri decided it was time for bed again. This time Mizuki agreed. Saying his good night to the female he watched her leave for her room as Thalion and himself entered theres. It was a simple room. One large four poster bed at the head of the room, a fire place rested at the end of the bed. On either side of the bed rested two doors. One led to a bathroom and the other to the childs room where the carriages sat close to one another.

It took him a moment or two before he put the little girl back to bed and he was greatfull that Nytria didnt stir as he did. Heading out of the room he hummed lightly to himself in his tired state as he changed his clothes to some loose fitting pants before grabbing a brush from beside the bed. Cracking his neck tired fingers began to untie the large braid "Mmmm it feels good to be back" He said with a soft yawn and a smile as he ran pale fingers through white hair getting the larger nots out before he even thought of brushing it back for the night.

[Rosekitten]

Sure he knew Mizuki had talked about expanding this place though it seemed he had a full scale layout for some time not even having to think twice on the rooms and everything. Though he still would have enjoyed a warning before he went about depleting all of his energy like that. They were both still getting use to the link they had now.

Though after the little ones were settled and tea was made was when the real fun came. Starting with explaining everything that had taken place over the past four months. Neimi sat with them just listening. Sure she was there but it was fun for her to listen how things went. Hard to think all of this happened in a four months span.

After Mizuki seemed done was when Luna spoke up. Though Thalion huffed a little as she said she knew he was good for something. "Last I recalled there were two certain people begging me for help.. pretty sure I'm good for a few things." Referring back to when they needed Mizuki to be broken out of the King's holding cell.

Though her warning came on deaf ears as he glared back at her and started to say something but Mizuki spoke up saying that she didn't need to worry before kissing him. That calmed some of his slight temper from her threat as he crossed his arms. Like he wanted to hurt Mizuki, nearly getting killed a few times already for the other it should have been obvious.

Once Mizuki seemed to return with the crying female Thalion sighed a little at the words. "I would be too.. it's been a long day and the light changes are probably something that will take a bit of time." Even though they had tried to keep things dim in the room they were in. Mizuki still had to see about the rest of the house and they needed to get use to it sometime.

He had waited for Mizuki to get back before he bothered to even get near the bed. To be honest he was still tempted to punch Needren the next time he saw the other. Though he breathed out a little trying to ignore that urge. No point in getting that worked up after the verbal beating Mizuki had given him. Not unless he proceeded with such acts.

After Mizuki sat down and started working on the knots in his hair was when Thalion moved a little moving what hair was in the way before rubbing the other's neck lightly but putting enough pressure to help relax him. "hrm.. it is." He started before laughing lightly at his thoughts. "Is it sad the first thing I can think of doing is cooking? No more having to deal with some servant for a while at least.." Yes that annoyed him. Having to order someone around or say what he felt like eating. It was easier just to make it himself.

Still rubbing the other's neck he placed a light kiss on his cheek before letting him continue with his hair. Tomorrow was going to be the start of things being somewhat normal. Training needed to be done and Thalion was looking forward to that. It had been too long or it felt like it had been. Though he also needed to figure out some way that training could be done along with the babies involved. Mizuki would have the same said issue.

"Hmmmmm...." Mizuki gave a sigh as his hair was moved and he felt Thalions hands on his neck. The light pressure and rubbing motions on his neck made his eyes close as he hung his head a little. Yes that was a nice feeling and it made him relax more then he thought it would. Yes there was no arguing there it did feel good. After the light kiss and Thalion moved away Mizuki brushed his hair.

After that the two settled down in the bed with a sigh as they cuddled into each other. It was good to be back but at the same time he was not looking forward to the days to come. No from here it would be a balance of trying to raise the babies as well as training. It would be an interesting task to say the least.

As time ticked by it went from hours to days and the balance between training and the kids had taken all of spare time that the two males had. The only time they seemed to manage together was the time at night before bed and even then some times that time was limited.

By this time the two babes were no longer that. Well they were but larger about the size of a one year old. Sleeping longer during the night was a thing that Mizuki was greatfull for. It gave him more time to spend with Thalion as well as more time to go through different spells and training of his own.

Though right now he was in the house going about doing different things. Now that the kids were bigger Mizuki took the liberty of watching them alone some times as Thalion had been busy with training some different groups on expanding as well as getting the place ready for battle. They didnt want to take any chances.

Mizuki was currently going about the house and gathering different herbs here and there from the shelfs he had made. He was getting things ready for a tea he needed to calm down a little bit. He had been moving for awhile now and due to bad timing had not seen Thalion for a little while. Not to mention the fact that he had his own training he needed to do for himself. Every moment he had he had trained his spells that he learned while away at the capital.

Things did get a little easier as the babies grew older, they aged quickly and would do so for a while. Though this still hardly meant things were easy for the lot of them. Even with Neimi and Luna helping every so often they almost had no free time. It was spent on training or the babies. Nights were the only time they really even got to see one another aside from during some meals and in passing every so often.

Over the time Thalion had picked up in training a lot of the fighters. He still took up working on repairs for weapons and armor when he got the chance but most of the time that was more or less turned into ordering who was better at such tasks to repair what needed it. No he was more focused on training and the defenses around the area to ensure that at least some of the King's forces would be taken care of before they got to this area.

Even at nights when they saw one another Mizuki seemed distracted and they were both worn out. Apparently at times forgotten that they were linked so with them both training by the time evening rolled around they were more then spent. Plus on top of that not every night did the babies sleep through...

This evening seemed to be no different as he had been watching Mizuki pace back an forth for a while collecting odds and ends and a few times seemingly forgetting what he walked to the other side of the room for. This was when he finally sighed after sitting there a while and moved over to where Mizuki was. He stopped Mizuki grabbing his arm so he could finally be noticed. "Stop.. for one night at least." He was almost pleading with him to rest a little.

He knew Mizuki had to train, he had to as well but they were both running on nothing by now being worried and stressed that things had to be perfect. Besides that he was tired of never getting to see the other. Taking a little bit of time to relax wouldn't hurt, it might help in fact... though something told him Mizuki would not agree to this.
