[Then everything that she set in place must have played exactly how she wanted it to. She smiles, happy of course. She knew that doing the things that she did would help the course of things. But she never knew how much. If her darling friend is telling her the Endsinger has been defeated and she was able to see everyone, then she has a good idea of how things have happened.
It doesn't explain herself ever being pulled back here.]
I am so happy to see you, my darling one. You have been so brave, and I knew you could weather the storm ahead of you. I knew you could.
[She's stroking Megumi's hair, comforting her. Even if she feels she has no right to do so.]
[ Part of Megumi does blame herself for setting off what all happened to lead Venat into the path she did. If she hadn't been noticed in the past, would they have been able to avoid all of this at least in one timeline?
Yet, with things playing out well here, perhaps this is what was meant to occur?
She quickly inhales, wiping her eyes and beaming at her. ]
It worked out, and full glad I am that it did. Are you hungry at all? You- if you're going to be here, we need to make sure you're fed and cared for! What would you like? I'll linkpearl out for something right away...
[ She'll just busy herself doting on Venat until then, and eventually drag her to try on a nice outfit. She does have some pretty robes that are all sized that she used to wear when she was pregnant that might fit someone as tall as her. (Megumi never dresses unpleasantly)
With that done, it's probably been some time! And Venat is still here. So she'll just take her around the Lavender Beds to show her. ]
— and this space was given by the Gridanians to adventurers who were doing all their work for the realm! Pretty place, isn't it?
Never any trouble, not for you. And you can stay here for as long as you wish. Forever is fine.
[ Beaming. But she takes her hands. ]
There are some nice open baths here, oh I should show you! You'll love them! Let me grab some things and we'll be on our way. The children should return with their uncle ere long!
[ Going to take her to the nice Lavender Beds baths! ]
Forever is imposing upon you, my spark. If only for a little bit...I would love to be here. Surely the wind will take me on some grand adventures, right?
[Though, settling forever did sound nice. So, so nice.
She takes her hand follows her now to the open baths. This was not a concept she was unfamiliar with. Often did she bath in streams or rivers.]
You're not imposing at all. Look... this is our world, a small, tiny part of it. And you can rest here as long as you like until you can come on adventures with me, too! Or on your own...
[ She squeezes her hand, showing her the pretty waters. She brought a traveling bag to keep all their clothing and everything they need in. ]
It looks lovely today, let's get in before it gets too cold! Here, I'll lend you bathing gear-
[ She's beginning to look for it, already wearing something to bathe in under her clothes so she just needs to strip... ]
Aye, but life goes on, I've still got a family to feed-
[ She's pulled out a nice pearl white bathing suit and is turning to offer it to Venat when-
Menphina's Tits!! She's-
Oh.
Oh she's so gorgeous.
For a moment that feels like forever, all Megumi can do is stare, because the sight of her bared and entering the water is truly like seeing a goddess come to life. ]
Like there's any room to doubt, Venat. And I do take care of myself when I can, but you... 'tis like perfection becomes you.
[ Megumi has to make an effort to look good! Venat looks good like this- and she could just worship her like this.
She shrugs, figuring no one is here anyway, and strips down to her own bathing suit, before sliding into the water after her, and she wraps her arms around her waist, pressing her face against her collarbone. ]
[ She wonders if it was the effect of the Dynamis- her own wish to not be apart from her, in that moment that she summoned Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus. She lets out a happy little purr, her fingers tracing across her spine and her ears flick. ]
I would. 'tis only true. Though...
[ She smiles cheekily at her. ]
In this world, you've got to wear a little bit when bathing in public, lest the Wood Wailers take you away for indecency. But I can just say your bathing suit floated away.
[ She smells so good too... and her body... oh. She's so soft. ]
How do you feel...? Not like you'll disappear, right?
At home, aye. Outdoors, people may look... and feel temptation.
[ She's still purring, still hugging her. Ah, she's certainly feeling the temptation to rub her face against her soft bosom. ]
... You can be this way in front of me, though. I'll kick anyone who looks at you wrong. Though you ought be admired. You're the reason we exist after all.
[ Her fingers stroke along her sides. ]
Come, let me wash you. Let's go behind the gazebo here.
I see, they may feel temptation, I will keep that in mind when we bathe next.
[She is going to keep with the belief that she will be here for the next time. Maybe this was her way of reincarnating? She doesn't know, really. But she doesn't want to take this for granted by any means.
[ They have a pretty floating gazebo in the waters and she can lead Venat to the small island it's on and have her sit by the edge to help wash. She climbs up with her and it gives them some privacy.
Of course, now that she can see her like this, her own temptation is intensified. ]
... there really is no part of you that isn't gorgeous. Are you cold, my friend?
[ She doesn’t really mind being bare in front of Megumi. That much is obvious. She’s smiling, gentle and warm. Being able to get clean after what feels like a millennia is nice. Megumi is nice. Gentle.
She moves into any touch.]
I am not cold with you here my friend. Stay close to me and we shall be fine.
[ She truly looks like the goddess of every tale, drawn from the depths and like perfection modelled into the world. She slides her hand to the side of her neck and hair, watching her affectionately.
She didn't realize how badly she'd wanted her to stay until she was gone. ]
I'm almost frightened that if I do too much, you'll vanish again. I would memorize each moment and touch from you... but I cannot hold myself back, Venat.
[ She should be more shocked or concerned about feeling like this, but it feels right? Venat is someone who has always loved so dearly. She learnt that even more in Elpis.
It beckons to her- as someone who loves with all her heart, too. ]
You're really fine? Mine own eyes wander too, you know. I am not immune to your charms either.
I am really fine. As tangible as you, and I do not feel myself fading away. You can confirm that for yourself too, can't you? I am just as here as I was five bells ago.
[She continues to let her touch her, and care for her. She's honestly so very happy to be here right now.]
You are not immune to mine charms, is it? I do not mind if you are the one to enjoy what you see before you.
[ Is she teasing her? She looks surprised, ears lifting in wonder, before she moves her hands to her face, combing her long hair forward over her shoulders as she lowers Venat's head to touch her forehead to hers. ]
I do wish to... but is it alright? Is it something you're fine with me doing?
[ Mother Hydaelyn she may have been, but as Venat, she was her friend for the brief moments she could be with her. Her tail wraps around her side, stroking across her bare skin. ]
Because I should very much like to kiss you, Venat.
[As the Elder Primal Hydaelyn, touch was something she was not oft allowed. So she takes a deep breath. Breath shaking. She loved Megumi, of course. She picked her after all, blessed her with her own wards.
She could imagine no one else to share such a close moment with.]
It has been so long since I was able to share in such selfish affections, would you really allow me to have such a thing? Would you let my affections be accepted by you?
[ She doesn't really have any hesitation as soon as she asks- how could Venat, one of the most beautiful and loving beings in existence, not be given the love she felt she should be given tenfold?
It's impossible- and it's why, her hands go to her cheeks, cupping her face- and no sooner has she spoken that she draws her face down, touching their mouths together and sliding her fingers down the sides of her neck. Threading into her soft hair, her own mouth sealing the space between them to kiss her fully and wholly- without shame or resistance, and she feels her heart flutter with love.
She knows she's always loved her, even when there was doubt in her heart- even with the things she endured that even Venat in the past agreed were questionable.
But she loves her, for the moments she was this vulnerable- just herself.
And so she kisses her until she's left breathless, before breaking it to return the touch of her nose. ]
Does... that answer your question, my dear, beautiful Venat?
[ It is because she never asks for those things for herself. She never asks to be given affection and love and attention. Truthfully, if anything, Venat is touch starved after being an elder primal for so many decades, centuries even. She had to stop Zodiark, she had to sunder her people. That makes for someone who is both sad and lonely, even if they've no need to dwell on those things anymore.
Venat is by no means unfamiliar with the concept of kissing and touching and holding. Which is why it is easy for her to lean in and press her lips back. Easy for her to melt into Megumi's touch and hold like this.
She is so glad Megumi is here, she is so glad she can start healing. Though she never expects to be forgiven for the things that she has done... what she has put her little spark through. But she can begin to heal from here, can't she?
When they break, Venat has tears in her eyes. How silly and embarrassing...she can hardly believe just that much made her emotional. ]
[ It's something she'd come to realize, because how could she not? Megumi rarely if ever asks for anything for herself, even her own duties are in the name of her family and the star.
So when Venat kisses her back- she feels it. She feels that crushing weight of a millennia and the loneliness she held onto- a hope that somehow always remained lit that through the darkness she'd find the light.
So when she looks up and sees the tears in her eyes, her expression falters, ears drooping for a moment, before she reaches out to cup her cheek. This being, this beautiful goddess and heart of the very existence that named their star... that she would still remain unmarred by the depths of despair all because of her love for it.
That she could cry over something so simple, makes her heart ache, and she draws her face close, kissing under her eyelids to catch her tears, and gently wipes away the remnants with her thumbs. ]
Venat... you can cry if you wish.
[ She slides her arms down until they're drawing her bared form against her own, and she brings her face into the side of her neck. ]
I'll catch your tears. I won't let you be alone again, not now or ever. I promise.

Her arms move around her back, and she rests her head against her shoulder. ]
'tis the Source. The Endsinger is no more, and Meteion roams free. It's all thanks to you, Venat. And you're here with me.
