This was going to be longer but somehow ended up being so short. I dunno.

Sidhe don't often wander around naked. Between mates they'll have little gatherings and when the children are young the adults will be naked around them, but it's more about seeing what a healthy body is supposed to look like. I lost track how many times during my teen years something happened and I was like, holy crap this can't be normal! But it was. So basically the adults prevent that kind of issue from coming up.

Essuan is a healer and is hardly vain, however, being a healer her body takes its own steps to fix itself, stretchmarks are scars and the body sees it as possibly interfering with movement and she burns through fat pretty quickly when she has two young ones to feed.

Tomorrow morning, eleven am! I'm hoping to see you all. Or. Some of you... ayatostales.net, click on the chat link in the News sections. Pick a name and then enter on in.

Of course, if I give cookies out, I might not recall why I gave them out because the chat can't exactly be saved.

Mik laid Paw to rest in the nest, tucking the mesa alongside the Sidhe, and went looking for Souse. The male was in the pool, mesa in his arms as the creature splashed in the water, delighted. Essuan sat with her feet in the pool.

Completely naked.

So little time between when the children were born and then and yet she was so perfect in form and fit. No stretch marks. Her breasts were heavy with milk and her skin still had that pregnant woman glow. Her head rolled towards him and she gave him a look that was clearly a sigh.

Mik looked at Souse and ignored Essuan’s nakedness for only a moment before he gave into temptation and looked back at her.

“You have a body that would turn any woman green with envy,” Mik said, causing Essuan to smile and lower her eyes as red crept into her cheeks. When he looked at Souse he saw the pride in the male’s eyes.

Somehow Mik had complimented both of them.

“What do you need, Mik?”

“I was not plying anyone because I want something,” Mik responded quietly, sitting a respectful distance away from Essuan, “I came about Paw.”

“Yes?” Souse murmured, letting the mesa go very carefully. The babe giggled and ducked under the water, darting away from Souse. Darting.

Mik watched the mesa for a moment and decided he had to bring his own mesa to the pool, to make certain that both mesas had the same learning experiences. When he pulled his attention back to Souse, the male was glaring at him. Mik could only shrug at the look.

“I had to take Paw into Palt. He was shaking and weak, pale, no energy. And when I say no energy, I mean he had less energy than a sick people. Palt gave him something to block pain and he walked out of the doctor’s office on his own two feet, after being carried in only moments before.”

Souse drew himself up straighter as Mik spoke, the male’s head cocked just slightly to the side. Essuan spoke something in Sidhe, keeping her eyes on the pool and her head turned just away from Mik. It seemed the female was making it clear that she was not interested in Mik, despite his compliment.

“This seems very strange, never before have I seen such a thing happen to one with power use, but Essuan seems to think it is possible. She also believes that she knows how to … deal with it.”

“Wonderful. Because while I’d like to tell him not to use his powers or some such, there’s no way for me to really tell if he is or not. You guys at least seem to know when he’s using what.”

Souse inclined his head towards Mik, “this is true. You may see some outward signs, but no people technology can capture power within its confines. When will he wake?”

“How. Did you know he was asleep?”

“Would you be here if he were awake? You took him to the doctor first. He doesn’t want us to know. We will be discreet but… you would not want to be caught here.”

“Right. On that note I should go,” Mik stood and considered for a moment, “uhm. But. I am confused about… this interaction between the three of us.”

Souse looked from Mik to Essuan and back to Mik, “what part is confusing?”

“All of it. She’s not being bashful, and it’s understandable why she’s not or maybe it’s just your people, but after I made my comment she looked away and hasn’t looked at me since. She spoke to you in Sidhe, not in people and she’s turned her head away, like you’re a jealous man and might hurt her if she looks at me.”

Souse blinked at Essuan and then seemed puzzled, “it… just… is.”

“What happens if she looks at me?”

“She shows interest in you. Essuan is not interested in you, however, and thus she looks away. You are, you realise, the only one dressed. To Sidhe, it is like a people walking into a room full of dressed people when he is naked.”

“Ah. Do as the natives do, I’m going to leave now before … something something.”

“Something something is often dangerous.”

“I’m coming to find that out,” Mik muttered.
