Thread: Among the Elves (GoldenGateSon x Wingshadow)

Steven had learned quite a bit today, not just about the elven communitys practices and way of life, but of his own heritage as well. It was all still a bit strange and foreign to him, but part of him felt that everything was as it should be. Though the magic of the runic markings seemed wondrous to him, Steven quickly accepted this as yet another unique practice of the elves. Though he was no longer feeling overly shocked by the new things he learned, Claras incessant teasing had Steven continually blushing in response. Still sitting, Steven looked up at Gwendolyn and Clara as they rose to their feet to leave. From his vantage point, he was in the perfect position to get an eyeful of both girls bushes as well as a peek of their lower lips as well as they stood. Goodbye, he first said to Gwendolyn with a smile, but Claras playful teasing made the young boy feel a bit nervous again. Oh O-Okay, he said, blushing a little at his cousin, not quite sure how to respond to her rather blunt flirtation. He turned his head so they that he could watch the two walk back down the the arch-covered walkway back towards the center of the town, taking in an eyeful of both beautiful asses bouncing tantalizingly as they walked away. It wasnt until they had disappeared out of sight that Steven realized that he was ogling, perhaps a bit too openly, and turned back around to face his aunt who was still sitting in front of him. Well he said, not quite sure how to proceed from here. Is there anything special that needs to be done before the ceremony itself? he finally asked. In his mind, Steven figured that something as important as the Coming of Age Ceremony would require some preparation, again, not unlike a wedding might need preparation with the humans. Then again, he had quickly come to learn that many of his assumptions that he brought with him back from life among humans no longer held true here with the elves. With how casually they perceived sex, perhaps this ceremony would not need much preparation at all. I suppose that sooner is better than later anyway. Would tonight be too soon? he asked. Aunt and nephew spend the next several minutes discussing the particular details of the ceremony, the things that preceded it as well as what the ceremony itself would be like and what came after, coming to a decision on both the time and place. After he learned all that he could, he rose to his feet, bidding his aunt farewell for the meantime as he left her to meditate again. The young boy spent the rest of the day walking about the village, taking in the sights again as well as shyly greeting the elves who lived there. Though most seemed somewhat distant, staring at him from afar as was expected given that he was more or less a complete stranger to their town, a few nonetheless, gave him polite smiles and nods as they passed. Eventually, he made his way back to their his home and awaited for his aunt to return. By that time, the sun was already beginning its descent, and a warm orange glow filtered in through the molded windows in the trunk of the tree. It seemed that he was the first one back, though he should have expected as much. His other family members likely had duties that needed to be performed, and after becoming part of the village, he was sure hed have some responsibilities as well, whatever they might be.
