OOM All Skate Skellig Dream Magic Weirdness -Part 12
They wind up staying two full cycles of the Moon with Tyr's tribe.
Time enough to learn the various dances, share recipes, race through the Teeth, make friends, share stories, BELONG.
It might even be enough time for Skellig to sort out how he feels about being among other people with wings!
Tyr clasps Skellig's forearm in farewell. "I would call you my brother, if you would permit it?" he says, voice soft.

"A drink will be lovely," Ajax replies. "I had no great plans, other than dinner and farewells." There is a faint sadness in him at the thought of farewells, but he pushes it aside. "I know you and Kreyu must return home soon, and it is no short journey you must make."
The time of the ritual in Kreyu's temple is quite close, only a few more days! He can not hear either Kreyu or Koschei yet. There is SOME uproar in the city after what happened yesterday, but it's not as bad as it could be. Most people seem to be waiting for the other shoe to drop.
no subject
Gathering the art carefully, he does just that - stopping by their rooms to stealthily pack it away in a safe place (there is no risk of Kreyu rifling through his personal bags - even in their shared relationship, there are still things they keep private) where it won't be damaged. Then after a quick change to his clothing (to better play the 'part') he moves on to meet Ajax down at one of the more private alcoves, where there are drinks waiting at the ready.
Still no 'sign' of Kreyu or Koschei on his senses, but he is not overly concerned. He would know if something was wrong, he is certain!
no subject
The sun is beginning to set as Kreyu and Koschei draw near the House. Kreyu is frustrated, but otherwise well.
"Hello, love," she greets him, smiling. She slides onto the couch next to him, kisses his cheek. Koschei settles next to Ajax, touching his arm lightly near the elbow, a more subtle gesture of claiming.
no subject
"Evening," he replies softly, hugging her lightly to him. "I've asked for a drink to be brought for you, anticipating your return."
no subject
"Wards collapse," Koschei grumbles. THAT must be the source of Kreyu's frustration!
"Every time," she says, sighing. "I think it's the part that would allow most people through that's causing the problem. I put more power into them, but that just caused a more energetic collapse." She's not pleased about that.
"Is okay. Tree was dead already, yes? Now in smaller chunks for firewood." Koschei murmurs.
no subject
His fingers move slowly up and down the upper part of her arm, stroking in a soothing motion - though it is mostly an idle pattern out of habit, as he has missed her over the last several hours while she has been away. "I am sure with more work, either here or at home, you will figure out what is causing the collapse and also find a way to strengthen it."
He would lend some of his energy if needed, but isn't sure this is the right place or time to discuss that.
no subject
She doesn't need his energy, but she appreciates his touch. She's missed HIM too, so one of her hands is tracing patterns on his arm before too very long.
Drinks and conversation lead to dinner, and dinner to their last night, for now, in the House of the Setting Sun.
They are quite practiced at packing now, although they will need to rearrange a few things once they are outside of town and Kreyu can take her draconic shape.
Skellig will hear that Ajax and Koschei are both downstairs already, waiting to say goodbye to their friends.
no subject
"I do not think there are any errands you would wish to run as we walk through town, unless there is something you need to purchase before our return trip?" He asks as they descend the staircase towards the main floor.
no subject
Ajax waves in greeting as they descend and Koschei gives a welcoming nod. "Ah, I can see you are seasoned travelers," Ajax remarks as they reach the bottom.
"We've done a fair bit of it," Kreyu replies, smiling.
Koschei glances around, then speaks. "You will say hello to your brother for me?"
"Of course, Koschei. Although I think he still wants that rematch one of these days." She's smiling when she says it, so the 'rematch' must not be something she fears.
no subject
Skellig is also intrigued by talk of this 'rematch' but he will ask her about that later.
no subject
"Rematch means 'brawl', doesn't it?" he asks Koschei, eyebrow still raised.
"Friendly brawl!" Koschei insists. "Is good challenge."
That mollifies Ajax somewhat. "I will have to take your word on such matters."
no subject
Granted, he has only met one of them in person at this point, but he knows that if there was a true desire by Revenin to 'end' him it probably would have happened already - or at least an attempt would have been made.
no subject
Ajax and Koschei both clasp Skellig and Kreyu's forearms in farewell. "Travel well and safely, my friends. I hope that things will settle here soon and I can pay YOU a visit," Ajax tells them, sincere.
"Fair winds and fair seas," Koschei rumbles.
no subject
Yes, there are many factors that will have to come into play and many pieces that will have to fall into their proper places - but it will happen!
