[He lets out a little breathy sound, eyes half-closing as he leans into the touch.]. …certainly stranger than I thought when I was younger. That's… I regret it beginning that way. But… I am glad that you've found happiness. And moreso that I could be a part of it.

...not only a part of it. [ he whispered, words coming out before he could consider them. ] I cannot see a life without thee.

You- you do? Urianger…. [He flushes, smiling, and reaches out to cup Urianger's face.]. I would like that. Perhaps- we should set something up. To see each other as often as we wished.

...I would like that. Linkpearl is one thing, but you can spy on me as well... and I've not finished setting up Aetheryte contact here.

[ Though he wished to, as he relaxed. ]

With your permission. [He nods, cuddling into Urianger again.]. It's not quite the same as being here…. But I know that will take time. In the meantime… we are together.

I... enjoy the feeling of being watched. [ Said a little embarrassed. ] --I've an idea. When things calm, we could build some form of path 'tween our settlements, for easy travel. We could carve a way though the Flood...

...ah. Perhaps I'm beginning to become a little too ambitious.

Oh…? Oh.. [He flushes a little, and smiles, reaching out to pat Urianger's arm.]. Would you like me to tell you? Or would you prefer to realise?

I hadn't thought that far yet- but I very much like the idea. [He laughs a little, lightly.]. Perhaps- but if we dream high, we will reach high- and surely grasp it in time.

I would prefer to realise - it also helps me sharpen my magic. [ But as he relaxed, he then began to move. Half-gesturing towards his bedroom. ]

I feel as if this tree is to grow larger. To tower over, and eventually people will begin to build homes nearby. That is, if I let them.

Very well. [He flushes a little more deeply, but- it sends a thrill down his spine, too. He gives Urianger a nod, beginning to move towards the bedroom.]. Would you let me know? Or- watch me, perhaps, as I watched you…

[He nods.]. I'm quite sure of that- it will be magnificent, a testament to life. Somewhere people might seek out, though I'll admit…. the thought of having somewhere secluded and quiet, all your own, sounds most appealing.

[ A little smirk. ] Now... why would I tell you those plans?

I cannot imagine it will be a swift process - people moving out into the former Empty, that is. Until then... the quiet remains.

Ah…. [He gulps, but draws closer, tail winding around Urianger.] So it shall be a surprise, then.

No… it will take some time before they want to, as well… Until then… well. Should we make the most of it?

[ They arrived in his bedroom, a room mixed with nature, actually a hollow inside the tree. ] For both of us~ Though, if you need time alone, simply ask - and I shall gift thee that.

...and we shall. A kindness to us both, my... dear Raha.

[A different environment from his usual. It finds the Exarch relaxing a little, ears settling.]. I will. Thank you.

Good. You deserve such kindnesses. [He puts a hand on Urianger's arm, turning to look up at him.]. Where shall we start?

[ Even soft birdsong seemed to chirp out, as Urianger laid with the Exarch. ]

I've... some ideas of where to start. But what of you?

[He settles, blinking slowly at Urianger, and reaches out to him.]

I… well, I would very much like to kiss you. And then… touch you.

...How much did you learn of my future, Raha? [ He's suddenly a little quiet. He... well, he didn't want to surprise him if he stripped down. ]

…I did not wish to pry overmuch. But… I suppose I found a little more than I needed, of… personal matters. Is it… more than you wish, at this moment?

...You know I can shift my form. If thee are okay with such, I would like to remain... as history may hath recorded me. [ His lips curve into a smirk. ] I suppose 'twas one reason not to fully believe the books, hm?

I am- ah, perhaps not this time, but would you allow me to watch your process at some point? I… 'tis overly curious of me, I know, but- only if you are willing, of course. As for this time- of course. [He smiles back, brushing his fingers over Urianger's skin.] Indeed. They are an important resource, of course, but- not impervious to bias.

...I shall show you sometime, yes. [ His lips turned into more of a smirk, blushing deeply. They were going so fast, but he didn't mind... ah. He just had an idea, but he'll keep it to himself. ]
Is that not why people like us should stand? To remove the bias - or... at least, carry our own?

My thanks. [He cuddles a little closer- flushing again. Ah- it's exciting, and he can't help but want…. This closeness is plenty, though, as he reaches out to put an arm around Urianger.]

To present our own viewpoint, and the evidence for it…. Yes. For the sake of a better future for all.

[ Urianger shifted away a little... moving to begin to derobe the other, hesitating as he felt crystal under the robe. ]

'tween our differing viewpoints, the truth shall remain. Ah, and the Maiden as well.

...ah. It does go down further, but- I assure you that it won’t be any hindrance. [He offers Urianger a smile, hands moving to help.]

So it shall. What are you thinking, Urianger?

I'd never thought it would be that far down... but I suppose it is claiming your body. [ whispered, as he begins to kiss down his torso. ]

...Three immortal, watching over a world no longer theirs. Does it not remind thee of the Unsundered?

Ah… yes. But it was necessary, and… while I worry about where it may end, I do not regret it. [He makes a soft sound, reaching out to touch Urianger's head, stroking his hair.]

Now that you mention it… it does, don't it. I hope… we might see a different path, though.
