We find Hajime meditating in front of the fireplace
~
Khefri approaches
Hajime? Is everything okay?
~
Haji looks up
Oh yes, little one, just meditating and doing a little thinking
~
Ahh
Khefri crosses the room to stand next to Hajime
Is there anything I can do to help?
He kneels down by Haj, who wraps an arm around the slender elf's hips
~
You can listen to me
~
Gladly
~
I've made contact with the spirit
~
OH!
~
Is that all right to do?
~
Well, it's not so terribly surprising really. A great many shamanic practioners have familiar spirits they communicate with.
~
I thought that was what Scramble was here for..
~
No,
Haji's eye slide away from the young elf's face
NaKa sent him to guard the spirit.. and by extension guard me.
~
Guard him from who? Tamas?
Hajime chuckles
Based on what I have heard, I would not want to be on the receiving end of Tamas' anger.
~
Khefri shivers
Nor would I
~
Or yours either, my love Khefri thinks
~
No NaKa sent Scramble as a sort of checkmate, so if the spirit proved malicious Scramble was to destroy it, and by extention me, before it could harm the innocents here.
~
By the Spirit! He told you that?!
~
Hajime quirks an eybrow at the dismayed elf
Which he?
~
No I have infered it, not from what was said by NaNa, Scramble or the spirit, but rather from what has not been said
~
Hmmmm
~
Khefri is very young as elves go, barely 200, so is is only now learning to read and listen "Between the words" for what is not being said in a conversation.
To!tah# would have noticed too, he thinks with a twinge of jealousy
~
So what now? You said you've made contact with it so umm I guess that means you spoke to it??
~
Oh yes, I made myself very clear about what I expect of it
~
Khefri shivers again. He is very much in love with the lanky shaman, but he has a healthy respect for his power.
~
Hajime gives Khefri a quick synopsis of his conversation with the spirit, NaNa and Scramble, including the bits of info about his parents and the spirit who killed them. Khefri listens intently without interrupting.
~
I need to go on a journey now
~
A journey? Where? Your island?
~
No, this isn't exactly a place.
~
I suppose the Spirit World best describes it. The Overworld, it's sometime called.
~
Ahh,
Khefri speaks a soft word with several clicks
When?
~
Soon
~
Oh
~
Hajime strokes his lover's face gently
But not until spring,and in any case, I won't be gone long. Time.. flows differently there. It will only be minutes for you.
~
Hajime chuckles
I'm not going to do a Rip Van Winkle on everyone.
~
Rip Van who?
~
I'll look up the story for you tomorrow, but he disappeared for 20 years.
All right
~
Hajime sighs
I need to talk to Tamas soon as well
~
Khefri frowns, once again feeling his old friend jealousy sneaking into the moment. There's a bond between Hajime and Tamas that he can't be a part of and while he has no interest in severing it, he still can't help envying it.
~
Khefri
Hajime's voice is soft as a breeze
~
Khefri smiles to himself, Hajime is about to take the same steps he took three years prior when he left his home on a a quest to save his Clan.
~
Suddenly the lanky man's arms wrap around the smaller body squeezing it and clinging to it in a kind of urgency that surprises the young elf.
~
Khefri
~
Tamas is
~
Khefri pulls loose and waves his hand in a dismissing gesture
I know, you two are very close, as close as Spear brothers. And you could not leave without telling Tamas, he is Kl*ak#. Patriarch, I think it is in English.
~
Hajime laughs
Little one, you are so much more perceptive than you look. And far more than even Tor realized, you make him proud.
~
Khefri's hand flys to his face as he flushes in embarassment and pleasure.
~
Thank you Hajime
~
Hajime pulls Khefri into his lap
~
And kisses him
~
Bonus cuz they looked so cute!
