Then later I will give you a debt to pay back.

[maskarang]

I'll wait with bated breath.

[swordhandled]

[ grins and sits on the bed ]

[maskarang]

[ takes a step forward

trips and lands face first in owains lap ]

[swordhandled]

A-Ah, Gerome!

[maskarang]

Owain. [ well, that's one way to get a faceful. he guesses. pulling his head back but staying on his knees. ]

[swordhandled]

[ you know. he's... not upset with this update ] Are you alright?

[maskarang]

... Yes. As luck would have it, you broke my fall. [ if luck is the right word. it probably is. for one of them. both of them. he clears his throat and looks at minerva, who starts raising her wings again.

pulling back. slowly. ]

[swordhandled]

[ raising his hands

no bitey ]

[maskarang]

[ seeing them back away, minerva claws at the bed and settles down comfortably. watching. waiting. ]

The bolder we get, the quicker she is to anger. Minerva... Surely you didn't make this much of a fuss when mother and father were together...?

[swordhandled]

--I can't imagine Uncle Frederick and Aunt Cherche as being as affectionate as us.

[maskarang]

... You may be right. Mother doted on Minerva more than anyone else. Father... Well, it's obvious most of his affection went to Chrom.

[ a soft sigh. he's going to tempt fate and rest his head on owain's lap, but he keeps a close eye on minerva at the same time. ]

[swordhandled]

He's just dedicated, and it's hard to not dote on Minerva.

[ giving her a small look, before just gently rests a hand on gerome's head ]

[maskarang]

It pleases me to hear you say that. I know caring for a wyvern can be difficult, far more so than any other creature. And Minerva is even more particular than the rest of her kind.

[ minerva continues her leering. seeing that, he raises his hand toward her. she pads over and he gently begins to scratch her under her chin. ]

[swordhandled]

It's why she deserves it. No matter the difficulty we may face for caring for her, Minerva is worth it.

[ when she reaches them, he starts petting her as well, but on top of her head ]

[maskarang]

She is.

[ and owain was worth finding. with only a moment's delay, he lifts his head up and gives owain a chaste, if long, kiss. ]

[swordhandled]

[ he hums into the kiss, not questioning why it's being given.

don't look a gift horse in the mouth ]

[maskarang]

[ exactly. besides, when he pulls away he gives the answer away as a whisper against owain's lips. ] I love you, Owain.

[swordhandled]

And I love you, Gerome.

[maskarang]

It warms my heart to hear you say as much. [ another soft kiss! ] And to see you so devoted to Minerva.

[swordhandled]

She's important to you, so she's important to me. [ turning to look at her ] She's kept you safe for many years. I can never thank her enough for that, because it allowed for us to be together.

[maskarang]

I... could not imagine a life without her, or where I would be. But I know she understands your thanks in her own way. It's just a matter of time until she shows it.

[ a hard admission but one he feels he has to make. looking at minerva right now, she does seem pacified, so. maybe it's more that she feels left out than a distaste for owain? ]

[swordhandled]

I don't mind the wait. I should spend more time bonding with her.

[ owain proceeds to give minerva more love and attention ]

[maskarang]

[ he might as well give owain more space. he gets up off his knees and takes a seat next to owain instead. when he does, minerva creeps forward and rests her head on owain's lap instead. ]

If you like, I can come up with something for the two of you to do together.

[swordhandled]

--I'd appreciate that. It'll be a lot more meaningful to us if we did something you suggested.
