"You are in love, so you put hin up on a pedestal and believe his bravery and resilience unmatched." Ishaan sighed. "You have been braver than hum, in my opinon, it is all I want to get across. What you fight through is so much more."

"Lily is to me, what Kael is to you." Aoife explained quietly.

“The child you never had…” Wyatt nodded in understanding, extending an arm out toward her.

“Hopelessly so.” Indira nodded with a small laugh as she poured herself another cup. “But I think we are one and the same… but I know what you went through, and I know why you will never see him the way I do. I understand it…”

**BestNameEva** Sun 6 Oct - 23:47

"Mm," Aoife hummed confirmation, other hand reaching out to wrap her arm around Wyatt's arm. Tugging him in, and down so she could press her lips to his tenderly, "I am glad you were here."

"Not for what he done to Arzen, that is not why I don't see him in that way. I didn't see it, the... parading of the head. I was unconscious, eating dirt before the two of them even got gruesome. How you were forced to stay here though, I can not get over that. I will never... this place will never be beautiful to me because it is keeping us apart."

Phoenix Sun 6 Oct - 23:54

“We were to be apart the moment father decided to wed me off across the ocean, rather than one of his men like Avani. We are to live long lives, I have faith we will be reunited often.”

Wyatt kissed her back deeply in return, arms wrapping around her body and pulling her closer.

Aoife took in a breath of surprise, melting into his arms. Burying her face into his shoulder and clinging, fingers digging into the fabric of his clothes.

"If Kiaan's plan works then, mm, yes but.. we need to realistic too. It might not be, we are so far away. Mehan might... this may be it."

“Every five years. Unless something prevents me, if you cannot make the journey to me then I shall make it to you every five years. You have my word.” Indira promised then, reaching over to take her brothers hand.

Wyatt moved a hand to gently brush through her hair to soothe her, kissing the top of her head.

**BestNameEva** Mon 7 Oct - 0:08

"I'm fine. I'm fine." Aoife insisted with a gulp, slowly leaning back from him.

"Promise?"

Phoenix Mon 7 Oct - 0:14

“I promise, it won’t be so long before we see each other again. I won’t allow it.”

“I’ll have food and supplies sent in, and warn Aodhän he is not to separate you.”

**BestNameEva** Mon 7 Oct - 0:25

"Tell Kael too. Aodhän; he is.. he is struggling I think, to put his power to the side. I know Kael and him clash often, I know he has it in him to fight against his father."

Ishaan nodded, leaning forward to pull her into a hug

Phoenix Mon 7 Oct - 0:28

“He is about to lose his mother. This will either make him as a King - he will do what needs to be done and step up to the plate, or he will crumble and it will break him and we will end with Aodhän as Regent whilst Kael stews in melancholy.”

“You are my brother and I love you. Always…”

**BestNameEva** Mon 7 Oct - 0:44

"I think he will do exactly what you know he will do," Aoife kept her weight against him, attempting a hopeful smile despite her shaken demeanour. "All will be fine. Lily will recover, Kael will.. Kael will need you, yes, but he will settle into his role."

"Always," Ishaan echoed softly. "Even after the sands take us."

Phoenix Mon 7 Oct - 0:47

“Which will not be for a long long while. Our sons have to grow into men together, my son will need his cousin to help him conquer the world.” Indira chuckled, pulling away

“No matter what happens, I’ll see to it you are safe. If I have to get you out of the castle and on the boat to your home in Dreake myself.”

**BestNameEva** Mon 7 Oct - 0:58

"Not my home, mm, no. A great great whoever home." Aoife laughed nervously. "This is my home, idiot. It is all I ever tell you."

"Conquer the world. I think little Idris is certainly capable of that." Ishaan agreed affectionately. "He is spirited."

Phoenix Mon 7 Oct - 1:02

“Having Avani’s boys here has helped with that, and with his learning too. It was only Avani and I speaking our language to him before, but now he has plenty of us to ensure he retains it. He will not forget where I came from, where he is from too. We may live here, and he may look more like his father than me but I won’t allow him to lose that part of himself.”

“If being here means death for you then there shall be your new home.”

**BestNameEva** Mon 7 Oct - 1:09

"Your lover boy is doing better since my last visit here, since his last to us even. Though he keeps getting our language mixed with Caleeri too which is amusing." Ishaan chuckled. "Idris taking over the world is not surprising, with Kael's unrealistic ambition and your stubbornness."

"There is nothing for me there. I'd only go there with Lily, to keep her safe. Not alone..."

Phoenix Mon 7 Oct - 1:15

“Kael is trying, he surprises me sometimes, he will start the conversation with our tongue, especially when Idris is around. He’s a good father.” Indira smiled fondly, “My boy will be able to do whatever he sets his mind to, best hope he doesn’t want your crown.” She grinned.

“I’ll bind you if I have to.”

**BestNameEva** Mon 7 Oct - 1:19

"Bind me?" She laughed, leaning back but not stepping back. Hands moving from gripping him to take his face in her hands instead, "That is the most ridiculous thing you have ever said to me."

"I think my youngster may have issue with that," Ishaan laughed. "Perhaps they can be a team."

Phoenix Mon 7 Oct - 1:49

“I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again.” Wyatt hummed, kissing her forehead.

“Hopefully we will not have to pick sides in the Great War for your crown.”

**BestNameEva** Mon 7 Oct - 1:53

"One was consenting. Without the consent it is assault and kidnap, you bastard." Aoife snorted affectionately.

"I don't want it. It was never meant to be mine." Ishaan hummed, voice warm despite the sadness that crept into his eyes.

Phoenix Mon 7 Oct - 1:56

“It is yours, it was always to be yours. You think the Gods did not predetermine it?”

“And both for your own good.”

**BestNameEva** Mon 7 Oct - 2:10

"I am no King. I am an imposter - a regent waiting for whoever is the right person to step in. It doesn't feel like me." Ishaan shook his head. "Don't deny it either, don't try and comfort me. It isn't me saying I am bad, I am.. fine with it. It just doesn't feel like me. I was raised a second, that is where I am happy."

"If you believe in your boy as much as you have claimed since he backed you off that cliff during training, since the day the sickly child shocked even you, then this whole conversation is redundant. Isn't it? He won't let anything bad happen."

(( Night night ))

Phoenix Mon 7 Oct - 9:48

“Those who do not seek power are often the best ones to have it. Those hungry for the crown will never truly be content.”

“I know how you worry, so I am assuring you that if my faith fails you will still be safe.”

**BestNameEva** Mon 7 Oct - 10:00

Aoife nodded quiet acceptance, finally pulling Back from the embrace. "I need to keep an eye on Lily, and you have things you need do too."

"Stop with the pep talk, you."

Phoenix Mon 7 Oct - 10:30

Wyatt nodded, ducking his head to press his lips to hers once again.

“I think you are where you need to be for now, and we will get you where you need to be to keep you safe.”

**BestNameEva** Mon 7 Oct - 10:50

"You opened your mouth then and Kiaan came out," Ishaan hummed with an amused raise of the eyebrow. "That was magical. Are you a witch?"

Aoife's eyes fluttered close at the kiss, "Come back, let me know what comes of the conversation?"
