Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ariya took a deep breath as she both noticed the pout her mate was giving and heard the statement. She paused for a second before she turned her head to look around at the destruction. Another moment of silence and she brought her gaze back to Ujana. "I don't like it." Her head gave a single confirming nod.

"However, we have established I can be on the lazy side. Traveling requires me not having a permanent home and bed to return to each night." The only reason she'd lost weight in her later years was due to the threat the Dretch had brought to her and the kids. Otherwise Ujana would still have a chubby girlfriend. "I also do not like the thought of you being away from me but I will not keep you here if it is not what you want." This time it was her shoulders that moved, coming up in a shrug and going back down as she took a step back.

Ariya had thought to be affectionate with the leaf woman but clearly she was in no mood for it. So the alk stepped over to the hammer she'd set down and picked it up. She stared at it for a second then went back to Ujana and handed it over. "If you are not happy here with me and the kids then go travel. I will stay here with them and make sure they are set on their paths and that the other two have a home to come back to." She looked around at the destruction of the tavern. "I'll do what I can with the wreckage later."

The question made Ariya stop and turn her full attention on Ujana. A tilt in her head accompanied her words. "That leaves us in different locations for the duration until one joins the other." She had meant her words literally with no reading between the lines or hidden agendas. However, her mate thinking like that made her wonder..

"Did you have other plans? Was the travel an excuse to find someone else?"

A heavy sigh left the alk and she moved to the side to locate a broom. If nothing else she could at least sweep up the small bits for now to avoid anyone stepping on glass or splinters. "The only ultimatum I'll give you.. Is if you sleep with or kiss or do anything of that nature with someone else.. Don't bother coming home."

"You've a point there." Ujana wasn't shy. If something was bothering her then she would have surely let Ariya know about it.

With the broom in hand she started to sweet up the glass and broken ceramics from the mugs. Being that the broom was short she had to bend a little which made it look awkward. Hearing that her girlfriend had an idea made her pause and look at her. "Oh?" Ariya was usually open to talking and hearing most ideas so she didn't see a reason to be close minded now.

"What idea is that? If you tell me you want to burn this place to the ground I will be sorely upset because I have just started to sweep and you know I hate cleaning." A smile was tossed Ujana's way to show she was still in a good mood, despite the heaviness of the conversation. It also meant that Ariya wasn't angry with her.

Hearing Ujana say they could torch it made Ariya give a tsk and show her canines a little in a playful display of displeasure. "Don't you start that." A grunt followed her words and she went back to sweeping. "The gall.. you savor my hard work or I won't help you clean ever again." She gave a side glance toward her partner to see if Ujana could tell she was joking. Cleaning might not be her favorite thing but she'd never left it all up to her girlfriend.

When she heard the idea that was floating about in Ujana's head she nodded her head some what. It wasn't a bad idea. Certainly wasn't horrible. "There is nothing wrong with that. Tale is a nice enough place." Less trees than the packed jungle but it wasn't bad. "Any particular spot?"
