Poe

Poe strolls in upon hearing the mention of his name.
" Looking for me? I have had so many imperial children, it would be fantastic to have coatl/ wildclaw kids running around! " He snickered.


Elemi cannot ignore the fine stature of the wildclaw now in front of her, and as a defense mechanism, looks away and pretends to be disinterested.

Slowly, she returns her gaze releasing one eye open to peek at him again, before delivering a cheeky grin, "of course you wouldn't mind finally seeing more children who resemble you."

She pauses slightly.

"My name is Elemi."
She paused again momentarily having realised the issue in the legality of her name. She slowly continued, "Elemi, the Unnamed...evidently."

She stepped forward to whisper:

"And if we please, together we could make many shiny colours run around :P"


Poe's jaws drops. His eyes swiftly scans the beautiful lady standing in front of him. Raising an eyebrow, he flashes a flirtatious smile and says:
" Do you believe in love at first sight, or do I need to walk past you again? "

Elemi's guard remained intact, but she couldn't help croak a laugh at his cheesy pick up line.
"Would not that make it love in second sight because then i'd have seen you twice?"

The atmosphere was jocular and light in tone, but she couldn't help mask the fact she wasn't nearly as confident, and perhaps a little bit shy about her rather empty history.

"So...um... " in attempt to quickly attempted to cover that train of thought with more conversation.
"What's it like nesting with imperials?"she unwittingly blurted out."
Oh wait no, she thought... what an absurdly silly question.

She fumbled around, murmuring nonsensical words." I didn't mean it like that." She nervously spoke, quietly this time. "I mean.... any memorable moments?" Her face turned pale, her body went stiff, and pupils receded into a dot, as she coloured herself with embarrassment hearing the words escape her lips. She stared blankly at Poe, hoping she hadn't ruined the playful banter that had only just taken form.

Putting on a gentle smile, Poe tries not to frighten her or put her in a tough position.
" The past is behind us, what matters now is the time spent with you and the memories that we have yet to make. "
He takes her hand and holds it tight. "Shall we take a stroll and get to know each other more?"

OH MY OH MY >< IT'S MY FIRST TIME ON A DATE he thought to himself as he glances at her. His past imperial partner was from an arranged marriage. It had fell apart due to the fights that broke out. He had never loved the imperial for she was sly and narcissistic.

Elemi let out the biggest internal sigh of relief and felt a weight lifting off her shoulders as his hands close over hers. It felt warm, secure and right, and that males might not be so bad, which was a welcome thought. She had never dated before, and was bred purely to look like a trophy. Her pelt glistened in the sun like smooth, cold crystal- and her wings looked like they had been carved out of diamonds. She had no idea what to expect, but looking at him, she felt safe.

After a short period of awkward silence from herself, she pondered the many questions she wanted to ask him, what things he liked, and whether his passions matched what he did for a living. She couldn't help but notice the grandeur of the scenery surrounding them.

"Why is it so gorgeous here?" She asked

wow! she thought, of all the questions to ask. She started off with one that was completely irrelevant to what she really wanted to know about- him.

-After nest has hatched-

Poe smiles, " Well, they say that angels are often disguised as daughters! 9 out of 10 of my kids are girls, it's a blessing."

Elemi chuckled quietly, "It is also a blessing your genes won out too, they are so so precious! So many of them to remember you by!"

She looked a little down considering the moment was gone all too soon.

She perked her head up to face him "Will we ever..." she began... and so as not to ruin the moment, returned to face her young and buried her thoughts. "I'll miss you" she mumbled.

Poe must have heard her because he turned to her, perhaps to respond, but before he could open his mouth, Elemi immediately corrected herself "I don't mean the kids, I know half of them want to live and explore life to the fullest." She looked a little sad, "I meant' her eyes trailed to the celebratory offerings "I
meant...the cake. yes. the cake will be lonely" and then turned bright red.

Elemi blushes as she reenters Poe's world, wearing a useless, and edible petunia in her hair.
Poe smiles shyly at her, thinking "wow, that petunia suits her so well" and gestures her indoors.

Elemi stared gazingly at her masterpiece of carefully constructed prose. It had been a long month, but her craft was in the ink and she was proud of it. She excitedly sealed the contents within an ordinary paper envelope, and tucked it safely so that she might personally deliver it to him. The journey to Poe's world was a fond stroll, bringing back familiar memories associated with happiness and contentedness. There was nothing else calling to her more than this feeling of wantedness and security.

She came to the crossroads, bordering between all realms. Would he accept her again?

Poe hymns a tune while thinking of her, the one he's been waiting for. Their separation left like an eternity. There was no other that made his heart race, like she can. All he wanted to do was to hold her tight and tell her those three special words. I can't wait to see you, my love.

After their nest hatched-
Elemi found it slightly amusing that her genes seem to win every time.
