Unable to articulate a response she merely nods her head as everything turns bright pink.
"Me too." she says quietly, taking another deep breath as the patterns along her skin flush a deep purple. "We should get up before I jump into your lap." she says forcing herself to stand. "When we get home....once there's no immediate danger...can we take a few days off...please?"
She gives her a big smile, "A few days? I was thinking more like a week or two and not leave the house unless we need to buy food or something." She says taking a deep breath of her own as she feels her heart hammering in her chest. She has to push herself off of the bed as she forces other naughty thoughts from her mind, "We better go get some breakfast before ending up in my lap is the least of your worries." She says as she gives Rhy's rear a light playful smack as they head to the door.
Alethrio's eyes went wide in surprise. "Pryd, pryd wnaethoch chi ddysgu Elven?"
She smiles at him while blushing, "I forgot to tell you. I learned a while back. Like I told you before, you're the most important person to me. I learned it because I want to be able to read those stories out of that Elven book of stories and poems to our daughter. I want her to know where she comes from and know the language of her father's people because I think it's important for them to know that. I'm still working on Celine's common, but I hope to teach her Elven as well. All those kids in the mines understood was dwarven, so I had to learn that too. She says as the metallic coloring in her cheeks grow darker and she shrugs her shoulders again slightly.
The Cleric took the Warpriestess in his arms, "You're going to make a wonderful mother." Before she could respond, he kissed her tenderly.
Arista smiles before being taken into his arms and melting into his kiss. Once he let's go of her she looks at him with a silly dopey grin on her face, "Yeah....okay....so what was I doing? Oh yeah...busy day, gotta get ready. Things to kill...people to save." She says in a bit of a daze.
After Arista walked back out into the main room, Alethiro was just absolutely stunned by how majestic she looked.
Seeing the look on her husbands face she went to him, "What? You look....I don't know...surprised or something. Does it look bad? Is my baby belly showing?" She asks as she looks down to see if there's a definable bulge in her armor.
Alethiro walked over and took Arista's hand. "You look absolutely stunning. The embodiment of all light and all things good in this world."
Her coloring darkens and spreads all the way to her ears, "Oh....okay, as long as I don't look fat. You're too sweet, you should be careful before you end up giving me a big head to go with my big belly. Let's sit down and eat okay?" She says finding two seats around the table for them.

Tesia somehow manages to get out of the room with Rhy without ripping off her clothes and ravaging her. Getting to the table she tries to control her breathing and her voice. Giving everyone a smile as she sits down to breakfast with them she says, "Sorry we took so long. I think I over slept a little. I guess I was more tired than I even realized and the good meal last night really helped. So...after breakfast I guess if anyone else has anything they need to do here we should get it done and then head to Lysse? We still have about an eight hour flight ahead of us, I wonder if there's a way we can let the Baron know that we're coming and mean no harm so they don't try to shoot us out of the sky. It would also help to know the exact trouble areas of the city so I know what area to land in to tackle first. Threats from the ground I can handle since I can cast in any form. If we need space to land and there's things in the way I can blast them with some lightning to get them out of our way....but I would rather start at the interior of the city and work our way out. I believe Arista had said something before about there being another shard you need to destroy there in Lysse."
Arista looks up at the mention of her name and nods as she happily munches away on breakfast, "Yes....there is another shard there in Lysse somewhere that we need to take out. It's probably being kept hidden somewhere underground like the other ones we've had to destroy and we'll probably have to go through some right bastards to get to it. If we can destroy it first though, it should make the rest of our job fairly simple since the protection of the tower will then spread to that area." She finishes with another decisive nod of her head.
Sitting beside Tes, Rhadaya manages to compose herself as well. Listening as the plan begins to get laid out, she puts together a plate for Tes before getting herself some food.
”Once we’re close I can fly free to cover anything approaching as well.”
Marae sits down at the table. "It'd probably be best to follow the river and enter the city through the sewers. You'd probably find what you're after down there. You'd also have to deal with the guild, but solving that problem would make everything easier."
Taking the plate of food from Rhy she gives her a smile before taking a few bites as she listens, "That's probably our best bet then. We'll deal with whatever we have to, to make sure that everyone is safe again. We'll just take it one thing at a time like we usually do and wipe everything out that isn't an innocent." Looking around at everyone at the table after taking a drink she asks, "Does that sound alright with everyone? Does anyone have any thoughts, concerns?"
Arista shakes her head as she digs into her own breakfast with renewed vigor, "Nope....that sounds like a plan to me. We'll just take it as it comes, like you said."
"Works for me. That approach doesn't tip our hand either." Sadhana says thoughtfully.
"I agree, that does appear to be the best course of action." Alethiro responded.
She nods, "So...if we leave and follow the river from here, it will lead us straight to the sewer system of Lysse? I can probably get us really close to the entrance and then we can go on foot from there. I guess we'll just finish up breakfast and whatever else we need to do and get going."
Marae nods. "Alright, we'll follow along behind you on foot and inform the Baron of your intentions. You might be done by the time we get there."
She giggles a bit, "We might be at that, knowing us. It'll take us eight hours to get there, give or take for at least one more break before we get there. We'll take our time through the sewers and make sure we take care of everything. We don't want to leave anything undone. This food is really good...." She says as she gets back to her food.
Rhadaya makes a little face at the plan. Due to her nature, the idea of being in cramped enclosed sewer tunnels where she couldn't see the sky was pretty awful. She'd had to do things like it before and would now, but she wasn't going to like it.

"It can't be any less accommodating then the last sewer we crawled through." Cyna says commenting on their plan.
Seeing the look on her wife's face she takes her hand, "Don't worry honey, we'll only be down there long enough to do what we got to do and then we'll be out again. Okay?" She says as she gently moves a loxk of hair out of her face and kisses her on the cheek.
"Okay," she says quietly drawing strength from her wife's presence. "With you by my side I can handle anything."
"Okay," she says quietly drawing strength from her wife's presence. "With you by my side I can handle anything."

"Okay," she says quietly drawing strength from her wife's presence. "With you by my side I can handle anything."
She nods as she eats her breakfast, "As can I when you're with me."
Jorg, Marae and Fallon gather their belongings. "Ready when you are."
Yerna sighs. "After I do the dishes and straighten the beds."
Jorg merely shakes his head.

"Fae wants me to find some armor before we go, even if it's just temporary protection." Cyna says a short while later.
Arista nods, "Probably a good idea." Looking at their hosts she asks, "Would you happen to have anything she could wear?"
"True. Just because you usually drop your targets long before they get anywhere near you doesn't warrant taking chances." Sādhanā agrees.
Tesia nods in agreement as she finishes her breakfast as well. Tilting her head to indicate Sadhana she says, "Yup, what she said."
