| [font=veranda]Thalia stood politely, hands folded on her silvery skirt. Raeche shook his wolfy head, "Nah, I carried them thissss far, I can carry them farther!" and then the big white woof obliviously pranced--head and tail high--to the guest rooms. |

| [font=veranda]Fay was at the kitchen table, idly stirring her ice coffee with a straw, in a crop top that dropped a shoulder and a long flowey skirt. |

| [font=veranda]Curiously, he picked it up, looked around a bit for the person who left it there, but then went back inside to open it. |
[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; text-align: center]
| [font=veranda]Fay lifted her head from the table and curiously opened it after a couple of seconds of just analyzing the geometric shape of the box. |
[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; text-align: center]
| [font=veranda]Regsu found it very pretty. He connected the color and the warmth to his own blood and thought it was just all around neat. Thinking it was another 'secret-admirer' gift from Azzy, and went to go thank him for it. |

| [font=veranda]Fay instantly looked up at her. She cautiously held the rock up just enough for Lepida to see it. |
[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; text-align: center]
| [font=veranda]Fay, upon reaching a silent conclusion to her little experiment, put the object back in its box which she re-sealed with clear duct tape and put it out in the trash bin they kept on the edge of the yard for when the garbage truck came. She quietly assisted Lepida up and asked her if she was alright. |
[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; text-align: center]
| [font=veranda]"I didn't requessst that," said Fay simply, and brought Lepida to a chair to sit. "What wasss it?" |
[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; text-align: center]
| [font=veranda]Regsu panicked and threw the rock out of an open window. |
[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; text-align: center]
| [font=veranda]Regsu helped him up and to the couch, and asked him if he was going to be okay. |
[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; text-align: center]
| [font=veranda][skips] Regsu was silent one night, when they were both just sitting in bed. "... uh, hey? Azz?" |
[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; text-align: center]
| [font=veranda]He had a lot of trouble saying it, staring into Azzy's lovedrunk eyes. "I ... I think..." he looked tired, "... I'd like to go into aquasssleep for a while." |
[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; text-align: center]
| [font=veranda] |
[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; text-align: center]
| [font=veranda]He shook his head, a little bit sadly, but never broke eye contact. |

| [font=veranda]"... perhapsss, when we go to bed tomorrow night?" |

[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; text-align: center]
| [font=veranda]Regsu rested his head on Azzy's chest. "I know, I know, I'm ssssorry. I've put it off for ssso long... I feel like the quicker it getsss done, the lessss I may have to ssssleep." |

[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; text-align: center]
| [font=veranda]"Yesss, of coursse," replied Nari in a soft tone, and kissed Azzy's ears. |
[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; text-align: center]
| [font=veranda] They spent the rest of the night and day together, and the following night, Regsu coiled up to sleep. |
[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; text-align: center]
| [font=veranda]Regsu woke up about three years later, which was actually a very short slumber for a katagari his age. |
[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; text-align: center]
| [font=veranda]He was incredibly confused to say the least, but was hit with a crippling tang of hunger and shot straight for the food. |
[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; text-align: center]
| [font=veranda] |
[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; text-align: center]
| [font=veranda]Regsu curiously and cautiously made his way throughout the home, unaware of where he was exactly. He could smell the ocean. |
