Thread: After the War (Razgriz x Lagertha)

Tiri'ol had been pleased she had found two things Orgoth was happy about. At least now she knew he wouldn't feel as much as an outcast in her community, or at least she would try her best to make sure he didn't feel like one. Tiri'ol found herself in her own hut, a glorious thing, much brighter than Orgoth's hut, but it was bathed in brilliant yellow lights. Her bed was in the center of the room, a smaller bed, a crib, was set up to the right of her bed. Sighing, Tiri'ol walked over to it with the infant Yuit in her arms, setting him down in the crib and covering him up. She pushed the little blanket with a bunny head to his face watching Yuit instinctively grasp it with both his arms. Tiri'ol moved, grabbing something and wiping off his face until she moved, undressing to take her own bath in her own spring of water. Submerging herself in the water was something great. Washing all nine of her tails, her long hair, every inch of her body with the bottles. Of course Tiri'ol picked the heavier scent of the bottles, finding the scents more soothing. Her eyes closed as she moved around, stretching in the water as the knock came to her door. Her ears twitched under the water before she moved to resurface. Hitting the surface made her sigh, as she pushed her hair out of the way to stare at her white colored bamboo doors. Her hut stood out for more reasons then one, one being that the warriors huts were also a deeper darker brown just like the platforms, the nurseries being a soft shade of blue, and her hut was white stalk bamboo. Who is it? Tiri'ol called moving to the edge of her sping. Her wrapped her arms around, resting her chin on the ground as she looked at the door patiently with her purple hues. Come in now, you had something to say. Tiri'ol watched the door swing open, one of her guards stepping in and bowing. The feast is being set at the table, my Queen. Tiri'ol smiled at the seven tailed kitsune with brown eyes and blond hair. I'll be there in a moment. Can you send someone to fetch Orgoth? I put him in the empty hut. the female bowed, moving to leave as Tiri'ol raised her hand looking at the crib. Also, make sure there is a spot for Yuit near me. I'd like him to be by the other children tonight. The female bowed her head. As you wish my queen. The guard called before shutting Tiri'ol's doors. Tiri'ol pulled herself from the waters, grabbing a towel and drying herself off. She moved, grabbing a new robe and wrapping it around her frame. This room was decorated much like the night skies, many stars embroidered in the fabric, the moon as well. Tiri'ol pulled her hair out of the robe as she tightened it, allowing the long flowing sleeves to fall down. She brushed her hair, her tails, cleaned her ears before moving to pick up Yuit. Yuit awoke in the middle of being changed, but he helped her change him into a different set of clothing. Tiri'ol smiled, watching the boy brush his own hair and tail with his own little brush before jumping onto her shoulder. Did the scary man leave? Yuit asked as Tiri'ol moved to leave her hut. No. He'll be staying with us for a long time. I suggest you get used to his presence. Tiri'ol pushed the doors open, watching the lights in her huts stop glowing as the door shut behind her. Yuit, displeased with her words, crawled on top of the Queen's head. Tiri'ol didn't move to stop him, wrapping her hands together in her long robe sleeves as she walked gracefully to the feasting hall. Why does he have to stay! He's so big and ugly! Yuit huffed, wanting to get his way. Tiri'ol smiled, amused by little Yuit's words as he sat on top her head between her ears. His legs were wrapped under him, his little hands on his ankles as he watched her walk. I want him to feel comfortable Yuit. Just like I'd enjoy every one of you to feel comfortable as well. Tiri'ol explained as she got closer to the hall. It was a common thing to her anymore, infants wanting to climb over her, especially one tails when they were young. So it was no surprise to anyone to see Yuit on top of her head much like a head dress. Tiri'ol was patient, understanding, compassionate and loving. All things made her a great leader. I made him a bodyguard, it will suit his abilities. He also met Wao today, and they got along well. One day Yuit, you'll find some other one tails that you feel comfortable with and want to be around all the time. Orgoth may not be kitsune, but we will treat him like family while he is here. Tiri'ol didn't need to explain any of this to Yuit, for she was Queen and her ruling was final, yet still she explained. Tiri'ol smiled as there were children and other kitsune funneling into the feasting hall. She saw some of the madiens, of which took care of the nursery, bringing in the larger batch of children. Tiri'ol reached up on top of her head, gently picking Yuit off her head. A-Aye! Quee- Mommy don't! Yuit cried as Tiri'ol moved to give him to one of the maidens. Yuit, distraught grabbed onto her robe and cried. Don't! I don't wanna leave you! Please don't make me leave mommy! Yuit cried. Tiri'ol looked at him, sighing softly as she closed her eyes. I promised you when your parents died from the high priest I would never leave you Yuit. I have raised you as my own, giving you more attention then the others but you won't be young forever, and you must spend time with others beside me to grow properly. Yuit looked up at her, wiping his eyes as he cried. I love you, I love everyone. So please, go with the Maidens and other children tonight, I won't be too far away if you are scared. I won't leave you. Yuit breathed in deeply as he wiped his eyes. He looked over his shoulder looking at a plump female kitsune dressed in a pastel blue dress opening her arms to take him from the Queen with a smile. Yuit, crying nodded, going to the woman as he stuck his thumb in his mouth to suck it. I'll promise to take good care of him, my Queen. The plump little thing said smiling. Yuit hide his face in the woman's neck his ears folded on his head and tail swishing. Tiri'ol reached forward stroking Yuit's back. I know you will Loina..you always take good care of them. Tiri'ol watched, waiting for them to go inside first. She moved then, passing by the kitsune that were already seated as she moved to the head. Her guards were standing, waiting for her to arrive. Tiri'ol smiled, moving to her seat and sitting down in her chair. Is Orgoth here yet? Tiri'ol asked one of her guards as they sat down. Here he comes now, my Queen. One of the guards pointed. Tiri'ol raised her eyes watching the mammoth of a man walk in. Tiri'ol smiled watching one of the guards, Miwa converse with Orgoth. She watched Orgoth sit, giggling as he creaked against the chair. Tiri'ol clapped her hands together watching the kitsune come forward, wearing aprons and carrying large plates of food. She watched the men and women, steam roaring off the tops of the bowls as they came in singing putting the plates in front of the people. She breathed in deeply, smelling all sorts of wonderful things. The plates and large bowls of food were sat down at the furthest end away from them moving closer to where Orgoth, the guards and the Queen seat for last. She waited patiently, seeing the bowls full of fresh fruits, some of mixtures of rice and vegetables, plates full of boar and chicken, some with large fish pilled up, others had breads and greens, and there were even large bowls full of soups and salads. Tiri'ol stood up when all the food was placed, watching the kitsune that had cooked standing behind the ones seated as they smiled. It smells and looks so beautiful, I thank you all for creating such a wonderful meal for all of us. I'm pleased everyone is here, and everyone is together. Let us all remember the ones who have fallen in times of need, that built us this city, that lost their lives to protect our kind, and let us remember this was created with love and joy. Tiri'ol smiled, happy for the moment as she extended her arms. Now, let us let the nice men and women of our clan that created this meal for us serve themselves first before we all dig in. I would also like everyone to welcome Orgoth, from the Iron Wolves to our clan with open arms. For from this night forth he will be one of my new bodyguards. Please make him feel welcomed and at home as you would your own children, and children of other kitsune family. With that Tiri'ol sat down, straightening out her robe as she sighed. She hadn't bothered to listen to her guards talking about how Orgoth would ruin her, she didn't need their advice right now. Instead she watched as the cooks prepared their own dishes before moving to sit down at the table, and when that was done, everyone else went to the bowls to put the food on their plats to eat. Tiri'ol was patient, grabbing a small bowl as everyone helped place food on their plates family style. She filled her bowl up with some miso soup, placing it on her plate as she began to eat it. I'm sure our food is probably quite different from your clans, but I hope it is still to your liking Orgoth. These are much kitsune traditional dishes.
