Earth (Second timeline)
-
-Armane blushed more and then watched as Sollux’s eyes were revealed and he looked at Armane. Sollux was in total disbelief. Armane blushed more. Sollux looked at him and had yellow tears dripping down his face. Armane got close to him then and leaned down to hug him. Sollux hugged him tight and said, “You… My child… but…” Feferi smiled and watched them.-
-
Casi hanged back, smiling softly as her moirail interacted with his ancestor, she felt a flash of grief and stiffened slightly, before fighting it away. This wasn’t a time of grief, it was a time to be happy and to be with her pale love. She shoved her hands in her pocket and snagged Sollux’s tea,”I’m going to reheat this, I’ll be back real fast.” Casi left for the kitchen and nuked the tea for about one minuet then took it back to the room. The honey tea was now at a comfortable warmth and she handed it to Sollux with a small smile.
-
-While she was out warming the tea, Sollux was not letting go of Armane. Armane didn’t want to pull away so waited until Sollux took his tea to sip it. Armane looked at him and said, “You are my ancestor?” Sollux nodded and said, “And you are our child. Alternia has changed a lot.” He coughed a little then took a sip of his tea. Armane shook his head and asked, “But how?” Feferi smiled and said, “You and your sibling were made differently than other trolls that’s how we know you are ours. We just had you raised like normal trolls.” Sollux agreed with her and continued for her, “So now the system is not completely Matriarchal. She is my Empress.” Feferi looked at him with a smile and said, “And he’s my Emperor.” Armane looked at them and said, “Are you saying, Fenrie is my sibling?” Armane and Feferi nodded to him. Armane soaked it in and thought deeply. “I still love her scarletly. Perhaps the lineage will stay in the family,” Armane smiled. Sollux and Feferi held each other with one arm and seemed at peace with this. Armane had a sort of sense of pride about this.-
-
Casi hung back once more watching silently with a small smile, she smiled softly shoveling her. Hands in her pocket. “Are you guys hungry? I can go get some food, if you guys like.” She said softly.
-
-Sollux looked at Casi and said, “Yeah, actually.” He hid a cough, not as much blood present as before. Feferi gently pat his back, attempting to help him. Armane looked at his ‘father’ and had a horrible feeling about it and said, “Maybe a little something. I haven’t eaten well since I last saw your face.” Sollux smiled a bit when he heard Armane say that and decided to tease, “I thought you were pale, not scarlet.” Armane turned bright yellow. Feferi giggled and said, “Maybe some as well, I been on the move for a while. It’s hard to rule.” Sollux took her hand and said, “You are a great ruler.” Feferi gave a faint fuchsia blush. Armane turned more yellow watching them.-
-
Casi smiled softly and slipped out of the room, walking over to the kitchen and and swiftly grabbed four plates. Two where balanced on each forearm and the other two in her hands, the girl then skilfully balanced them back to the room She was careful not to tilt them, or the forks would fall off the plates. Casi pushed the door open with her back, walking in backwards and heaved a small sigh, handing out the plates. She carefully deposited each one in the respected hand and tucked her self by Armane.
-
-Feferi examined hers and nibbled on it. Sollux ate his happily. Armane nibbled at his for a moment then saw that’s what Feferi was doing and blushed yellow again. He started trying to not nibble at the food, resulting in some getting on him.-
-
Casi blinked and munched on her food slowly, not really hungry, but knowing she had to eat. Then looked up, noticing the food on Armane and smiled slightly,”Your being silly, you put your food in your mouth, not on you.” She said quietly with a voice full of mirth and looked back down, losing her appetite and pushed her food around slightly.
-
-Armane blushed bright yellow and wiped it off himself as he tried to cover it up. He said, “I know.” Feferi giggled and said, “Looks like he got the best of both of us.” Sollux smiled and said, “That’s a relief.” Armane could only keep blushing.-
-
Casi smiled softly at the exchange, feeling a small pang in her chest, this reminding her of Jake. She faked swiping her eyes as adjusting her shades, like the English she was, and pushed her food around again before giving up. The girl felt like if she ate more, she’ll just vomit it back up, plus she felt slightly sick at the moment. Casi leaned slightly on Armane, enjoying his presence and the warm feelings that he gave her.
-
-Armane smiled, the blush staying put and he placed an arm around her endearingly. Sollux coughed a bit and laid himself down painfully, Feferi taking his plate and stacking them under hers. Feferi finished hers then and placed it under Armane’s. Armane just sort of cocked his head, not understanding at all what that was for. He stayed silent though as to attempt to keep from blushing any worse.-
-
Casi decided to help Armane and helped him stack his empty plate, the girl then stacked her and took the pile of dishes,”I’ll go take these back” She walked out of the room, to the kitchen and placed the plates in the sink gently, before walking back. Casi slipped back into the room after a while, sticking herself to Armane’s side, grabbing his hand silently.
-
-Armane interlaced his fingers with hers and smiled. Feferi then abruptly said, “When do we meet your sibling and matesprit?” Armane turned yellow again and said, “She… uh… tends to cover for me while I am gone.” Feferi smiled and said, “Sounds like you play the roles we do. If he were back on Alternia with me, they’d have to follow his orders because they were my orders. We changed a lot of things. And I am proud of that.” Armane looked down and then back at her, “So… No one is status bound?” Feferi smirked and said, “precisely.” Armane didn’t mean to but he blurted out, “What about tradition?” Sollux gave him a look and ended up coughing again. Feferi said, “We broke it to give our grubs a better future.”-
-
Casi only had a slight idea what they where talking about, but she wasn’t really paying attention to much. She leaned on Armane, resting her head on his side, shifting his arm so it neatly draped around her other shoulder. The girl watched the exchange quietly, not wanting to intervene in it and end up saying stupid shit.
-
-Armane didn’t notice her move his arm. He took a deep breath as his eyes glowed a bit just from anger. He spoke with retrained anger, “If you were so keen on changing things, why raise me traditionally instead of in a new way?” Feferi looked down and said, “We didn’t want you to be made fun of for being different.” Sollux nodded and coughed more, rolling onto his side to hide the blood coming out. Armane had a worried look on his face.-
