577 Preferred Company(Part Two) When Genie had woken up that morning, the first thing he did was seek out Skye. He wanted her to accompany him while shopping for Mei and the others, as well as get an idea about what she might like for Yuletide. Humming a tune as he walked, it took Genie an hour before he had ran into Peggy, and learned of their early departure. Slightly annoyed at his pointless searching, he grumbled about not being told. Peggy had heard his whining, and promptly chided him for…-

576 Preferred Company(Part One) “So it’s all about the food, then, hmm?” Tidas commented as Skye sat up in their bed. After another yawn, Skye replied; “I can smell before I can see when I wake up, husband..” As her eyes fell on the trays at the end of the bed, Skye beamed as she said; “Ya brought me food in bed?! Aww! I love you! Thank you! I thought I was just smellin’ it cookin’ or somethin’ like that.” Tidas grinned back lovingly at her; “You’re welcome. I thought…

575 Accounts And Balances Tidas had awaken early the following morning, despite their planning into the late hours of the night. He’d been used to running on little to no sleep for years, but having his own Shaman trait made it a hundred times easier to pull off. Skye always chided him for doing it too often, but they’d been getting a decent amount of sleep lately, so he didn’t think she’d say anything after waking up. It didn’t surprise Tidas to see Peggy already awake as well, but she’d…

574 Complicated Preparations The night seemed to be never-ending, which was fine with Skye as they all sat, ate, and drank together. At the table, everyone was yelling and laughing, and the tabletop was filled to the edges with food. As they all indulged and talked with each other, Skye took in the scene around her.. Hang sat next to Rukia, who had Mei on her other side, along with Hana. She was in a deep conversation with Klaus about how to properly care for knives and swords, and the differences…

573 Awkward Apologies Genie flew around his brother’s home for a good twenty minutes before Zazzy finally made him go down. He showed her the oversized barn that Bai Lei had built. It was on short notice, but it was for the Last Dragon, so he spared no expense. Because of who the structure was for, the contractors gave Bai Lei a generous discount, but it had still cost him a small fortune.. A massive bed had to be built inside of the structure instead of brought in, and a place for people to sit…

572 Decked Out Skye was beyond annoyed with Peggy, and had no idea how she was going to meet Genie’s eyes whenever he came back. It was the same as a relative walking in on her and Tidas, since Genie was like a brother to her. She could already feel her ears burning with embarrassment, just thinking about their next encounter. Tidas looked calm as they made their way through the snow, but inside: his mind was in utter chaos.. ‘Genie’s expression wasn’t one a ‘brother’ would have while…

571 Push It Down Genie’s heart was pounding as the wind whipped passed him, and the snow harshly pelted his face. He had no idea where he was flying, only that the icy wind felt calming against his blistering skin. As he flew erratically through the sky, Genie tried to organize his thoughts. He felt embarrassed beyond reason, and angry that they would be so bold inside of a carriage that wasn’t theirs. But the emotions that troubled him most were the ones that Genie felt ashamed to admit to…

570 Terrible Timing ***WARNING: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC SEXUAL CONTENT*** Genie had arranged for multiple carriages to take everyone, so they would be comfortable during the ride. Hang decided to travel with Rukia and Peggy, leaving Mei and Hana to have a bit of alone time together. Genie rode with his brother, so they could talk about what was to come. And the rest of the Alconians rode together in a stagecoach, and rotated guard duty on horseback as they needed. As soon as Skye had finally entered the…

569 Uneasy Feelings Richard Yaris’ records turned out to be extremely helpful when it came to making countermeasures for an attack. They would know from where the weapons were being distributed, and be able to keep track of who was coming and going. Giving them an idea of how many enemies they’d likely be dealing with later. Those who visited the marked places would be tracked, and the ones they visited would be watched. Until everyone involved with the illegal weapons was found out. The planning…

568 Overreactions(Part Three) “What did you find?” Genie asked after flashing a glare at Yaris. “Seems a hefty amount of weapons was moved ta a house just a few blocks from here. A...Senator Utani, ta be precise. He got three crates, which seems ta be one of the largest deliveries. Only one delivered ta Senator Nin’s property is larger. Five crates were sent there.” Bai Lei sighed heavily at Skye’s words; “He lives right outside of the palace. If they can occupy that, then they will…
