Anala herself had seen the silent exchange between Leeran and Heira and sat with a slightly smug expression. True, her blunt-ness had been a test but the results were well worth it. She was sure Sarafina would at least consider the possibility of some form of physical attractiveness other than 'at least I'm not fat'...a phrase that made Anala damn near hiss acid.

"Well I am glad Heira. I enjoy putting good people at ease around me...just as much as I enjoy scaring the fluids out of people who deserve my disdain." She knew she did not need to look at Kifkan for that one. He knew.
She looked at her rider who was now flushed and confused. She really did not know how to handle compliments....

Sure enough Sarafina was now paled and looking about nervously like a nervous animal looking for an escape route, she wouldn't move of course but she was completely unsure on what to do.
"uh...Thank you" She meant it, but it came out very shyly.
She was surprised then by Kifkan's sudden outburst. He wanted to leave now? He had been sulking pretty much the whole time...what the heck was up? And she realised she felt protective of Heira now. She was almost tempted to tell him to be more respectful to her...sadly it wasn't her place. But to her surprise...and amusement oddly, Parachanna stepped in.
Though she was a bit shocked at his actions and had Leeran not caught his mother, she would have as well. Anala it seemed was watching with very calm interest.

However Sarafina felt even more amused and happy when Parachanna was very polite and even loving towards the older woman. The young dragon had come along VERY far since his hatching. Sarafina said her goodbyes and watched as they left with an air of confusion. Leeran complimented the dragons on their conversations and actions. She still had the feeling they weren't telling her something, but she wasn't exactly curious enough to ask.

"Yes indeed! Parachanna I must admit I am quite impressed! I myself would not handle myself nearly as well" Anala beamed and winked at the young Water. Sarafina cold only be happy the two were getting along sow ell now!

"Well then" Sarafina began "I suppose further celebrating is in order" Her tension eased now they they were all together by themselves again. She and Leeran began packing up the blanket and his gifts. She realized that Parachanna was not flying yet so she pondered the prob;em of how he'd get to their home. Anala COULD carry him but that may be awkward and even a little insulting
"er...so how should we proceed? Maybe Anala can fly ahead if you'd like me to stay...or I can g with her and try my best to clean the place up a bit before hand.."
In truth she already had some treats waiting for them that she had gotten from a nearby baker but she felt they may pale to the ones they had just had!
Kite resumed his position on her shoulder and she pet him for a moment before he flew off and crawled back into 'his" saddle bag

"Well with that I think we're all ready to go" Anala said happily. In truth she was eager to get back and relax with the boys
Never thought I'd say THAT the Fire thought
"Parachanna if you like I can try to carry you but I understand if you'd rather walk."

"The only reason," Parachanna retorted to Anala's additional compliment, pushing Leeran hard enough to send him stumbling, laughing, against the larger dragon's brilliantly colored scales, "I behaved as well as I did is because Leeran told me not to hurt him. I really wanted to eat him, though."

The uncharacteristically petulant look on the Water's face was designed to make the others laugh. Certainly, it worked with Leeran, who had caught himself on Anala's scales. Once he mastered his amusement, he pushed himself off the Fire dragon and hugged Sarafina fiercely.

"You were wonderful, too," he told her, and kissed her firmly. "Mother is quite taken with you, I think. I know she approves of us. And she got over her nervousness enough to like Anala. I think it's a bit much, given how he treated my father, to ask her to like Parachanna, but I think she'll get there, too." His face darkened for a moment, but he continued calmly enough. "Out of curiosity, what do you think of my parents? Have you any questions you weren't comfortable asking around them?"

Waiting for her to respond, and letting Parachanna dictate their return (as it was he that was the odd one out, being unable to either fly or ride Anala), Leeran swiped a piece of meat out of the now packed picnic basket and walked over to the saddlebag in which Kite had sequestered himself.

"You were very helpful, too, you little fluffball," Leeran told the white gryphon in an affectionate voice, offering him the meat, "Don't think I didn't notice you helping Sarafina. I thank you."

He didn't know how much the little creature understood, but he gave credit where it was due, regardless.

"I will walk," Parachanna asserted with dignity. "You three will fly. I will join you when I get there."

As well as this day was going, some time by himself would allow his still-raging temper to cool. He was forcing himself to be sweet and polite to Anala and Sarafina, but it would be nice not to have the urge to snap at them, and just to be polite without effort

Sarafina's face held a look of confusion and suspicion . Oh she had seen clearly that Parachanna held high dislike of Kifkan and Anala did too, so obviously the news wasn't good. As she often did she came to her own conclusion that Kifkan obviously did not care for her. This naturally hurt, so as was her Nature, she simply absorbed the pain and buried it within. Bringing herself back to the present she looked at Leeran after his question

"Well...I do very much like your mother. And I would indeed love to see her shop some time....just so long as I'm not made to try on a bunch of frilly stuff" She meant it. Sure she sometimes would try on outfits but many to her looked horribly ridiculous and so she avoided such things like a plague.

Anala grinned but then looked at Parachanna. She felt bad leaving him to walk but then...he was rapidly growing and not much could really harm him...
"Well, if you are certain.....but if you change your mind perhaps Leeran can sense it and I can always fly back and walk with you, sound fair?"
She spoke as Sarafina and Leeran climbed onto her back. Awaiting for them to fasten themselves in. She wondered when the wyrmlings would be shown saddles and flight safety.

Kite nestled in his bag purring over Leeran;s words and bracing for the takeoff. It came and Anala hovered airborne for a moment to see Parachanna was headed the right way before flying off towards the Academy. Upon her Sarafina again calmed at the feeling of Leeran's arms about her. It was always immensely soothing even after a bad day (This wasn't a bad day, but it had been trying) She relaxed to a point of almost drifting off as he held her. but was jolted back as Anala landed on their entryway above.

"Hpme sweet home!" The Fire trilled happily. With that kite quickly scrambled out of his bag and flew inside. Sarafina smiled and began helping leeran collect his gifts from the other bag. She hoped being seperated from Parachanna wasn't too trying, for she HATED being separated from Anala by too much distance for any length of time. Such was a curse of being a rider.
Anala finally was able to get her saddle off and hang it up on the wall. Sarafina looekd about silently thanking herself for cleaning so much the previous night.

'Make yourself comfortable dear" She said to Leeran before heading to her food storage and digging out the cake and cookie platter she had gotten for him. 'I think Parachanna will be glad to see this" She added "And I got extra, You deserve to be spoiled on your birthday" She said to him with a wink. Anala was now resting on her coal bed and looking at the entrance still a little anxious about Parachanna

My I have come a long way...from wanting to kill him to THIS, I dare say I hope I'm not a hypocrit She thought to herself. She also thought it was good her rider bated this morning as Parachanna would be making use of the bathing pool tonight.

Leeran caught Sarafina's suspicious look, but let it go...for the moment. He would address that when they got back to her rooms. He could not let her bury her emotions as he knew she had a tendency to do. It wasn't good for her, and he wouldn't have it.

"No frills, I promise," he replied calmly, thinking how silly some women looked in the ridiculous fashions that often swept through Lihn. He hugged Parachanna tightly for a moment. "You can let me know if you change your mind. I know you can. Do so at need."

"Of course," the Water assured them both as Leeran and Sarafina settled into the riding straps. He waited patiently for them to take off, and watched Anala's form (unbidden, words like graceful and elegant rose in his mind) until it vanished behind the screen of trees.

When he could no longer see them, he stretched vigorously and began a quick trot back toward the Academy, ignoring anyone who might see or greet him, though he was aware enough to spot any threat that might approach.

When he had slid out of Anala's saddle, Leeran looked around the large caverns of Sarafina's quarters. They looked much the same as the last time he had been here. With an ease born of familiarity with the occupants, Leeran settled onto the bed and unlaced his boots as she brought out the sweets. Tucking them beneath the bed, he stood again, chuckling. Even in his stocking feet, he was taller than his girlfriend.

"You spoil us both quite well," he told her affectionately. He took the platter from her hands and set it aside so that he could hold her properly and kiss her. When they broke the kiss, he regarded her quietly for a moment, then asked, perfectly serious: "Now, my beautiful, what's wrong? Don't tell me it's nothing. I saw the look on your face when my parents left. Talk to me, please."

It was a wonder to Sarafina how whenever she kissed him it was akin to teh first time and it left her in a daze. The only thing that broke her from it was his question. She looked at him feeling a tickle of fear. For she was not used to people who could actually "read" her. She had always been very good at hiding her true feelings and to have someone know there was something going on, well, it startled her.

Her instinct was to assure him all was fine but she knew very well that would do no good.
"Well....Surely you don't think I didn't notice what was going on at the picnic earlier...what with Kite being so outgoing and Parachanna torturing your father and Anala sending him looks straight from the fires of death. I don't know what exactly what was said or done but...I get the feeling that he does not approve of us...well, more specifically, me." She looked at him simply with a odd lack of expression on her face.
From her bed Anala sighed. She knew she couldn't keep it from her rider long. But she kept her muzzle clamped. For this was Leeran's job for once

"I mean....don't get me wrong I was prepared for that, but still, It must have been bad, I felt Anala's rage"
Her dragon now tucked her face under her wing as if ashamed.
"Oh stop Anala you couldn't help it!" Sarafina said to comfort her dragon. Anala wanted to say how bad she had to fight the urge to break the man in half but she still remained silent.

Sarafina raised an eyebrow at her, but then turned back to Leeran
"Anyhow dear, it's alright. I won't lie it hurts but I am fully accepting of it...although I DO wish he at least TRIED to get to know me first."

At this comment Anala's head came up
Did she just.....admit she's not as bad as Kifkan assumed?...
To Anala this was as close to a self compliment she had heard from her rider since she could remember. Her surprised look shifted to Leeran and she even nodded as if to say Yes yes that's good!
Sarafina glanced at Anala who quickly resumed her subdued laying position. And she now let the end of her tail rest in the bathing pool.

Sarafina now tried to change the subject
"Anyhow love it's alright. Like I say I adored your mother, and I'd love to meet your family friends mentioned today and see your old home. Maybe soon you can meet my own family yes? They will be more open...even my brother, just don't mind his jabs"
She knew soon she'd have to change, she felt even more silly talking about this still dressed nicer than she was used to...the nervous sweat wasn't helping...

"Of course you noticed," Leeran retorted, dismissing that as obvious. After that one comment, though, he let her finish what she had to say. He noted Anala's surprise and her nod, and agreed with the implied sentiment.

As she spoke, an amount of fierce protectiveness and love rose in him that it surprised even him, who knew how much he cared for this small, insecure woman. Whens she tried to change the subject, however, he steered it gently back. He had to address this properly. He needed to assure her of his reactions to the afternoon's events, even if he hadn't felt she needed the assurance, too.

"I would be pleased and honored to meet your family, my love," he told her sincerely, "but first I have to address mine, here and now. No, Kifkan didn't approve. Really, it was less of you and more of any 'distraction from my duties.'" He laughed sourly, then continued, his voice firm but gentle, and he didn't release her from the circle of his arms, though he would if she pulled away. "He was being foolish and hateful. He isn't the man I remember from my childhood. My father was a good man."

Leeran kissed her tenderly, knowing that it was an unfair part of his argument, but it was also a necessary one, this showing of his love for her.

"I do not need his approval, Sarafina," he told her, holding her eyes with his own when he broke the kiss, a bit breathless. Kissing her had that effect on him more often than not. "I would have liked to have had it, yes. But if he wants to be so childish, he may be so. I have your love, and Anala's approval, and Parachanna's." Here he gave a more genuine laugh, his eyes sparking with mischief. "Finally! I need no others. I am glad you and Mother get along so well, though. And I'd be delighted to introduce you to the others. Just remember that nothing is as important to me as your happiness, Anala's and Channa's. Nothing."

As they spoke, Parachanna trotted through the outskirts of Lihn, taking the shortest path back to the Academy. His temper cooled quickly as the sun went down and the temperature dropped. He made a short detour to the Hot Springs, and sent a wave of absolute pleasure and comfort to Leeran to reassure the young rider that he was still alright.

It caught Leeran's breath, then he chuckled, knowing what would have pleased his dragon so much on a cool night. He responded to the pleasure with happiness, and a hint of impatience for Parachanna to join them. Parachanna took the hint and hauled himself out of the steaming waters and continued his trek.

She listened. When other people tried to reassure her, Sarafina heard but tended not to take it to heart. With Leeran it was different. His words had the strange almost supernatural power to actually sink in. She began to feel the unnatural surge of giddiness that he also brought. She pressed against him as they kissed and she nuzzled his chest afterwords as he assured her.
Finally, softly, she responded.

"Well....that is good to know, but I do want it to smooth out. I want you and your father on good terms you know. Though I admit I will only pity him if he will not allow it when it is obvious I am no distraction to you"

In the background, Anala made a fist and bright it to her with a big grin as if to say "YES!!", And resumed her calmer position as Sarafina glanced back. Oh her dragon was crafty...

"I do hope Parachanna is getting along alright" Anala said, not hiding the worry in her voice. A combination of motherly concern and genuine affection which Sarafina felt as well. BuT Leeran was quite happy and relaxed and so she knew there was nothing to actually worry about. She embraced Leeran again, much more relaxed and at ease and gave him another kiss. Longerthis time as if to say 'thank you' Pulling away reluctantly

"Well I better change....Your mother may like to make me a nice outfit but until then there's no reason to sweat up the ones I do have"
She stroked his cheek and went off to the next room, Anala sighed in relief

"You have NO idea how well that went as opposed to how I feared it would!" The fire dragon said to Leeran "You know she IS coming along, And I owe that to you. Your approach is better than mine....but then you can give her certain things she's needed a long time" Anala left it as that but she knew Leeran would probably know what she was talking about.
"So...other than the slight bump in the road I do hope you're having a great birthday dear!" She said to him with a nuzzle.

Sarafina came out wearing typical lounging gear, shorts and a thin top...Only this top was short enough to expose a line of her midsection. Anala couldn't help but wonder if Sarafina even noticed or if she was just to that comfort level with Leeran now....until recently her rider would ONLY show that much skin in private.
"Well...that may help" Anala added quietly to Leeran with an amused chuckle.

"I have always enjoyed my father's pride in me," Leeran admitted when Sarafina mentioned wanting to smooth things out. He kept the latter, more cynical part of that thought to himself, however. I wonder, now, though, if it was just that he liked how obedient I was.

If that was, indeed, the case, he thought firmly that he had neither wish nor need for his father's approval. Carefully, Leeran betrayed no hint of amusement at Anala's background antics.

"I agree, my love. He's being foolish," Leeran repeated the sentiment he had found. "Mother at least knows that I put my duty first." He snuggled her teasingly. "Hard though that might be, sometimes."

He grinned wickedly at her as she pulled away, having enjoyed their kiss. When she went into the other room, he relaxed slight.

"Parachanna's fine, Anala," he assured her around the dragon's comments. "He stopped at the Hot Springs on his way in. He does love them."

He hugged her as she nuzzled him, used, by now, to the nearly over-balancing force that even her gentle movements had behind them. Like a child to a large dog, he clung to her muzzle in a squeezing hug. Occasionally her affectionate actions would lift his feet off the floor, and, with a gleefully childlike innocence, he would kick them and laugh.

"My birthday is going marvelously, thank you!"

And he meant it. Despite his father's behavior (or perhaps because of the pride he had in himself for standing up to Kifkan's idiocy), he was glowingly happy, and could hardly stop smiling. His smile did, however, falter for a moment when he noted how Sarafina was dressed.

This falter was not from lack of pleasure at the sight. Quite the opposite, in fact. A sudden rush of hormones brought on by the sight of her muscular, bare arms and legs, and that tantalizing strip of midriff flesh made Leeran flush. No innocent boyish blush, this, oh no.

For a moment the gentleman that he tried to be and the very male part of his mind warred over how to react to this...interesting development. Anala's evident amusement at the state of her rider's dress reminded Leeran forcibly that this was a very new thing for Sarafina, and should be encouraged carefully.

He crossed the room and sank back onto her bed, his back carefully upright against the wall and gestured for her to join him, please. When she did, he pulled her snug against him, kissing her hair and enjoying the scent of her. He very deliberately put one hand on that strip of bare flesh, her skin cool against his own. He did not put his hand under either garment, but rather carefully put his fingers over the edge of each, so that the center of his palm was pressed against her skin.

"Thank you," he murmured into her hair, nuzzling her gently. "For a wonderful birthday." He met Anala's eyes over the small woman's head so that the dragon would know that his gratitude extended to her as well.

Parachanna thoughtfully stopped in their quarters on his way to Sarafina's. His stubby fingers were surprisingly adept at manipulating man-made objects like doors and drawers, and he carefully picked through Leeran's things, wondering what would be appropriate to bring. He settled on his choices, and made his leisurely way to the women's rooms, giving voice to a cheerful hissing whistle that was evidence of his much improved temper.

About ten minutes after Leeran gave his thank you, there came a polite tapping on the door to the rooms they were sequestered in, and Leeran felt a nearby hint of calmly mischievous pleasure.

Anala loved giving him such affections. It was another form of bonding she found very satisfying. She was also Satisfied that her rider had braved revealing a tad more of herself, and she could tell Leeran was too. As she went to her bed for them to cuddle Anala laid down feeling almost smug....

In truth Sarafina had debated about wearing something even somewhat revealing. In fact she had to be sure NOT to look in a mirror lest she change her mind. She had only relented thanks to hormonal temptation and because as she had reminded herself...it was Leeran's birthday. And she knew if he wanted anything...special for his birthday she would be more than happy to give it. But it would be up to him. Again, HIS birthday! Still, this was new to her, By herself with Anala this outfit wasn't a problem but for Leeran....She had to take a few deep breaths before coming into view.

Sarafina had difficulty reading his face at first, but she watched as he suddenly sat upon her bed and beckoned her to come to him. She felt her heartbeat increase and blushed with a nervous...but happy chuckle. She realized as she went to him she was very eager to do so. She cuddled into his arms and nuzzled his neck.
Sarafina felt his hand upon her bare skin and almost purred from the thrill. She could DEFINITELY get used to this! Laying her head on his chest she sighed, feeling happier and more mischievous than she could remember feeling.

"I'm just so happy to see you happy today...16 was a weird age for me" She chuckled "You seem to be handling it very well" She squeezed his hand and then stroked his face. Loving the moment they were sharing. The thought of falling asleep in his arms would be a dream come true. She smiled at him playfully and leaned in over him, looking into his eyes a moment before moving in to kiss him....She was distracted only by Parachanna's playful whistle and she smiled again. Anala was also glad to see him arrive

"Aha there you are!" In a still surprising gesture she eagerly nuzzled him "Sarafina got plenty of treats for you and Leeran. And there's the bathing pool when you need a soak" It felt odd to have him in their home for the first time, but a now pleasant one none the less. She watched as the Water crossed and tapped on the door to Sarafina's room, silently hoping he wasn't interrupting anything, but her link to Sarafina assured her it was safe to proceed, she she remained quiet and laid her head on her front paws with a content grin on her face

Sarafina raised her head just a tad, assuming it was Parachanna as Anala was too large to knock. She hoped Leeran wouldn't mind another party as they cuddled...soon though she herself hoped they'd have some time alone.
"Come in Parachanna!" She called. Feeling finally that she had her own little family.

Thinking of the difficulties he sometimes had controlling his hormonal urges, not to mention Parachanna's more-than-occasional displays of temper and displeasure, Leeran laughed.

"Sixteen is an odd time for me, too," he assured her, holding her firmly to him as they kissed. "I just have more self-confidence than you. It seems easier for me to you because of that."

Parachanna returned Anala's nuzzle gently, mildly surprised that she had initiated the gesture.

"Ah, that's good," he replied to her comments, then opened the door when Sarafina indicated he could. "Hello again. Leeran, I thought you might like a change of clothing from your good outfit, so I stopped by our barracks room."

He gestured with one paw to the neat stack of clothes on his back. Leeran kissed Sarafina apologetically (for getting up when they were both so comfortable) and rose to check his dragon's choices.

A wry smile touched his face as he realized the cause for the good-natured mischief he had felt in their bond earlier. Here was a full change of clothes for the morning, and the soft-clothed pants he wore to bed, but...

"You forgot my nightshirt, Channa," he said, half-scolding, half-laughing. He knew very well the dragon had done it on purpose.

"Oh, did I?" Parachanna affected innocence, though the toothy smile on his face belied the effect. "You so rarely wear it in the barracks, I must have."

Now Leeran laughed outright, and turned to Sarafina, leaning his left shoulder against his mischievous dragon, the clothes over one shoulder.

"I can wear one of the shirts I have," he offered, though he hoped she would decline. The last thing he wanted, though, was to make her uneasy. "If it would bother you, Sarafina."

Sarafina Squeezed his hand as he got up and stayed on the bed while Parachanna came in with a bag, she tilted her head curiously at it. Listening she smiled happy he had gotten his clothes as she knew it would be hard to lend him any sleepwear. She sat comfortably watching the water pair, glad Channa had made such a drastic change in attitude. When he mentioned his nightshirt was missing, Sarafina felt her face shift into an expression she was sure was a mix of surprise, humor, uncertainty, and happy mischief. She had to fight to keep a normal expression and hold back a giggle. He spoke to her now,

"I can wear one of the shirts I have... If it would bother you, Sarafina."

"NO! No no!" She said immediately and eagerly....She then realized what she had just did and quickly tried to recover some polite-ness on the issue "I....No, I want you to be comfortable and I certainly don't mind!"
The sudden loud draconic laughter from the next room told her Anala had heard everything and Sarafina rolled her eyes. Yes Anala would never let her forget this one....
"Anyway dear, however you feel most comfortable!"

Anala was still snickering and when she caught a glimpse of Parachanna she gave a very proud approving nod.
"Sarafina has seen more with patients Leeran, it shouldn't be a problem, don't be shy!"

"That's PATIENTS Anala, thy don't care how naked they are so long as I'm putting them back together or stopping any fluid from leaking from Empress knows where" Sarafina called back. And then sighed. In truth some views in the infirmary HAD made her quite uneasy but this was another matter entirely..this was something she wanted to see....which surprised her in a way.
"Anyway Leeran, Parachanna, what else would you like tonight? Parachanna you deserve some extra goodies for making that trip for Leeran....And thank you" She added quietly

((Bah a tad short, remember edit suggestions are welcome :)))

Leeran and Parachanna both noticed the shift in expression, and Sarafina's immediate, fervent response had Leeran's laughter joining Anala's. When she started to try and reassert her usual politeness, Leeran covered her mouth with a kiss.

"As you wish, love," he told her, grinning impishly. "As Parachanna says, I usually sleep shirtless in the barracks. If it won't bother you, I see no reason to change the habit." He turned to look at Anala through the still-open doorway. "I'm hardly shy, Anala. But I must see to Sarafina's comfort, too."

"You're welcome, Sarafina," Parachanna replied, chortling. "And I would welcome some of the cookies I can smell."

He turned his head searchingly in the direction of the as-yet-untouched platter of sweets. Leeran gestured him to help himself.

"It being a special day," he told the young Water (and he meant as much them being in Sarafina and Anala's quarters as it being his birthday), "You can have as much as you like. And no exercise in the morning, either."

Parachanna brightened at the lifting of both restrictions and made for the platter, then half-cringed guiltily as Leeran continued.

"After that it's back to our usual schedule, however," the young man added sternly.

Parachanna swiped several cookies and munched them cheerfully.

"Well, since Channa so thoughtfully brought me clean clothes," Leeran commented, taking one of Sarafina's hands and kissing the fingertips between words, "I think I'll take a bath, if you don't mind. I won't be long."

She relaxed at his kiss and listened wistfully as he spoke....oh tonight was going to be VERY special indeed!...Plus she realized she was taking a big step for herself, so she would do her best to stay positive about it.
"You got it Channa. I made sure to get extra just in case we decided to gorge"

She placed one large plate of cookies in front of Parachanna and smiled wide as his fish like face lit up
"I gotta say it brings me great pleasure knowing I'm making you guys happy" She immediately glanced at Anala as a signal for her not to make an obvious joke. Anala obeyed.
"I admit I over did it love...I wasn't sure if you liked chocolate or vanilla or what else so I got both for your birthday cake....I don't spend money often so I have a lot saved up for times like this" She explained. "But believe me you're worth every penny!"

Anala chuckled and rolled over in her coal bed
"This is the first time she's gone this much all out. Feel flattered boys. Though something tells me this will be a more regular occurance" She opened her mouth and Sarafina tossed a rather large sweet pastry to her...which to Anala was like a piece of candy size wise but she quite enjoyed it all the same.
"Pity it's so hard to make these things sized for us larger breeds...biggest I saw was a cookie the size of a large human dinner plate. I feel they can do better!" She used her tongue to snatch another pastry. "The only time I envy those little Rosemaries"

Sarafina laughed at her dragon. She was always happy she helped lighten the mood when she was feeling any form of tension. But luckily the tension she felt was just giddy nervousness.
As he kissed her fingers and mentioned taking a bath, she was sure he could hear her heart pound. In a moment of flushed excitement she nodded and almost started rambling.
"Well here I'll get the cakes and extras" She said happily.

Sarafina made her way to the kitchen and began taking out the cakes, more platters and any other foods and drinks she could. She even had a cask of punch for variety. Some of the sweets she had put higher up for space and so she had to stretch up(oh the curses of being short!) to get them and of course this resulted in her top lifting up even higher....luckily not revealing too much but enough to where she felt it and realized it could happen. She tugged it down for "being lady-like"reasons and looked at Leeran blushing
"Sorry....I'm still getting used to this...And yes dear feel free to take a bath whenever your ready I'll be a good girl and not look ...unless you want me to"
In some shock she covered her mouth with her hands...what was happening to her? She never used to have such thoughts! Looking at Anala silently pleading for help the huge dragon sighed and got up slowly

"Alright Leeran dear I can lay around the pool if you'd like privacy...or protection" Sarafina looked ashamed at this. But Anala meant it lightly, she curled around the bathing pool as she had when Sarafina first brought Leeran home the first time. And settled down comfortably to form a privacy wall for him.

"I appreciate the effort, Sarafina," Leeran assured her when she mentioned his birthday cake. "And I do like both flavors, so it works out well.

"Of course we're flattered," the younger dragonpair chorused at the same time, and grinned at each other when they realized what they'd done.

Leeran, bemused, as Sarafina flushed at his suggestion of bathing and busied herself getting other foodstuffs and drinks. He eyed the drinks idly, wondering if she had anything alcoholic...not that he was much of a drinker.

His eye was drawn to the extra length of muscled, flat stomach her reaching revealed, and he gave a lopsided grin when she tugged the errant shirt back into place. He had been enjoying that veiw!

His only response to her very Anala-ish ((XD)) reassurance was, at first, to stare. It wasn't that the idea necessarily upset Leeran (though he wasn't sure he'd be satisfied with her just looking...), just that he hadn't expected such a suggestion from her.

As Anala rose and settled herself around the bathing pool and Parachanna guffawed his amusement, Leeran's amused stare gave way to a small grin. He walked over to her and scooped her up in a hug that brought her feet off the floor. While she was still suspended, he kissed her soundly, then set her down.

"You have every right to look if you would like," he informed her, that very male grin still playing about his mouth. "But I give no promise that I'll leave you on the shore!"

Before she could reply, he disentangled himself and, grinning wickedly at Anala, slipped past her and began his bath.

((Never fear, Sarafina's a straight edger....though trust me we're getting her drunk sometime. That'd be awesome XD))

At his final words before going to wash, something bubbled up in Sarafina. It was a happy playfulness laced with mischief. Her whole life se had tried to hold onto and display a dignity that was at times hard to uphold. Now, that dignity was pushed aside by her affections and cravings for fun that had laid dormant for so many years. Leeran had finally brought it out.

The only problem was there was a rather..intimidating wave of hormonal urges that came with it. Oh they had always been there but now they were basically taking over, coupled with a need to "play" it was an...interesting mix. But her worry of being labeled "easy" and her fear of rejection based on her body still remained....but it was outweighed. She went to Anala's head (making sure to leave it between she and Leeran....for the lingering urge to not be forward yet.
Anala's teal eyes looked at her rider. Sarafina kneeled down and said quietly

"Anala....no more jokes unless it's clear I'm with it" Anala raised an eyebrow at her rider and Sarafina tried again "Look I....it's taking a LOT of strength for me to do this so just....don't make it more awkward....I NEED this"

Anala could tell what she was saying, she was just struggling with it. The dragon smiled softly
"Alright dear..." He glanced at Leeran who was now in the water "Go. Go to your mate" She winked.
Sarafina took a deep breath and walked along the edge of the bathing pool. Not quite looking at him yet.

"I'm still trying to be...proper" She said and finally settled down on the edge and putting her feet and calves in the water. She looked at him now and blushed just a little bit. naturally she couldn't see much if anything below the water and she kept her eyes on his face anyway. "But I'm still eager to please love" She looked down coyly but she smiled playfully at him.

Anala turned her head away to look at Parachanna, speaking quietly to him.
"Channa dear....Things may get a tad awkward...But I salute you, you are being very stoic...and witty about it! Very impressive" She smirked. Glad they were now sharing in the mischief.
