Silverlight Terrace but your so far away

Woo! 700!

He felt like a fool, dirty, horrible, as though if he could he would sink down into the earthen field and stay there. Among it, he felt lost, sad, worried... Did he really care for Kukutux beyond their friendship? That he desired more then just her friendship, but to have what it seemed he could not have? He knew he felt her to be a close friend to him, close in a manner like Hua was to him and he felt himself sometimes looking at the pale woman maybe a bit longer then he should. But was this just an extension of their close friendship, of her also being a pretty female? Was it that he wanted from Ruo what Kukutux gave to Jarilo? 

Aiolos didn't know, overwhelmed by his emotions, thinking that perhaps the Nereides were right in some manner. Reproduction was easy. Making a relationship work was hard. The Greek was dealing with emotions he was never meant to come across. Maybe he would have been better for it. 

When she turns away and speaks, it is harsh and yet true. That when two became parents, their love for one another often did not match up to that of the love for their child. Surely Ruo loved Huojin more then he, surely, but how far did her love go to abandon him so? 

She spoke of duty, that her promise to Moonspear had been fulfilled by her baring children to their bloodline. That she was pleased in doing so, that in it, her life had met fulfillment. Aiolos would never take that from her, never could even touch it, he realized. But he did not want a wife made by obligations, by agreements and yet being betrothed would be in doing so. Her words spoke of being husband hard on him. His love-life might in it be just as complicated as it was now. Was doing this just going to make everything worse? 

He was quiet for awhile, all up until Kukutux last statement. He smiles again finally, his tail waving low behind him. Thank the Goddesses for that. So he'd not made ruin to the whole morning.
