Welcome to Gaia! ::

Thal 1

It was a lovely day for a hunt, the dawn was just breaking, the land decorated with morning dew. He loved this part of the morning. He looked up from making breakfast for them. "Care for a hunt today Terr? Our meat storage is getting low, time to refill the freezer."

Plus they both really enjoyed the hunting. They lived for it in fact. It was nice at the ranch itself with the hustle and bustle of family but he loved the quiet outside the town limits deep in the bush with his beautiful Terrwyn. Their sons were growing so fast. He was super proud of them all.

The family was doing well, gaining new members and new customers and new critters to tame. He was happy, very happy with his life and he could think of nothing better than to hang out with Terrwyn.

He fair exploded out the door to greet the day with exuberance and joy. Ever since Terrwyn had said they might try for kids at some point his heart had been lighter. It had been a good conversation, they had reminisced about the boys' upbringing and their growth so far and there was nothing his heart wanted more besides the health and happiness of his family than more kids with the very love of his life that had brought him the triplet sons that had changed gravity for him.

This was real living. To live and work with family at a job you loved and to love greatly and deeply those that meant the most to you. Though it would be nice perhaps this time, as they both agreed, to perhaps have a daughter. Even if she turned out to be like their niece, Kechiri worshipped her Dad and Thal was all for it. Though he wouldn't trade his sons for anything. Ushi had been jealous initially but he loved his kids just as well no matter what gender they were. Besides Kechi was nearly like a boy.

He paused mid step and turned around. "Yes, I think that would be lovely." He was more than willing to meet any family she decided on. After all Viltre was such a stand up fellow. Thal enjoyed his witty company. And so he heard Kylaelya was with another sister who was sweet as pie and had also settled in Matori on the other side of the village from the beast ranch.

"Which sister might this be?" Her family and his were large and he had trouble sometimes keeping track of them all. Maybe he would get the opportunity to punch her ex too. Now that would be satisfying. Hopefully the man had given up and move the heck on.

"Tale is right nice this time of year. Besides it would be really good for the boys too I think."

"I have to admit to being quite curious myself." He had an active mind, even if it wasn't quite as sharp as his brother, but well Ushi was rather brilliant. Thallassa's gift was picking the right battles to put his not unconsiderable might against. He wanted to do good and to love, Ushiwa wanted to dominate and love. Though even his brother was mellowing with age and family. Thal had always been an easy going sort, the perfect first son for a large family.

"You have many siblings too, do you not? I think you have named them all off a time or two."

Soon they would have to stop talking for a bit or they would risk scaring off all the prey, there was an invisible line after the ranch where the woods got wilder that they usually silenced it, but he had to admit he always enjoyed talking to her. His life had been all the very much richer for having her in it.

The air was somewhat dank and heavy. "Could be a storm rolling around soon." He commented. He didn't mind getting drenched and she was not nearly as delicate as she looked.

"Yes that is a healthy amount of siblings as I am sure my Father would agree." He did not need quite that many progeny. He would be happy if they had a girl though. Ushiwa and Dad had girls, and they were all bright and shining beacons of light..well bent light for some but that was besides the point.

"I look forward to it. And I believe you are right, I don't think it will be a bad storm."

They were now entering the area of the hunt that would hold game. He quieted down and began to stalk, scanning the ground avidly for signs of animals, or the animals prey. He was happy to be out here with her and looked forward to finding and catching what they sought so they may again speak to each other.

A thick game trail moved off their trail, running diagnally into the bush and he followed that until he found fresh sign, some sort of fowl that would be a great dinner if they caught it. He motioned to her that he had found something and could she take a look and or see the beast. This sort of thing would need the bow not the spear that he had taken with him.

He never tired of watching her skill with a bow, the intense look of aim and concentration on her face. His heart swelled with the typical wave of pride and adoration as her arrow hit true. A large bird that would make a fine dinner, though it would be good to get more.

He caught the thing and defeathered it and packed it away for further travel.

He nodded at her again that he was ready to continue on and that she should take point with the bow, he would continue to watch for game, and perhaps a bit of her. She was grace itself, lightly built, lithe and most importantly his. There was no one else who would ever hold a candle to this woman for him.

He took a deep breath and decided to break the silence. "You know, anytime you are ready to have more kids, I think we are at a place again where we could. I know I want more and as per usual, I can't get enough of you Terr, you mean everything to me."
