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.
[Crying is hard. Crying is something she never allowed herself. To be allowed to do so now is a luxury. She had nothing to worry about anymore, right? She was able to live in peace and be happy, to make up for the things she knows she has done wrong.
She shouldn't be here, and yet fate...has smile upon her once again. She does not understand why or her own purpose here.]
It is so very silly to cry. I should not weep.
[But she's so close to Megumi right now and it is so warm. What was supposed to be an intimate moment turned into a completely different moment for the two of them. She can only really count her blessings with Megumi right now. Revel in how close she is allowed to be after so long of being just a voice.]
Your promise is enough, and I cannot think of anything else that would make such a situation better. I am truly blessed to be on this star again...with you.
[ It truly is a miracle and she'd rather not waste a single moment. If Venat wants to cry, she will let her cry. ]
It's never silly to cry. I'm here to catch your tears, aren't I? If anything, I'm the one blessed to be with you again.
[ She'll kiss her eyelids. ]
Come, let's finish bathing and return. Don't disappear into the water!
[ And thankfully, since that's unlikely to happen, they'll have a nice play in the water, some cheering up, until they go home, meet the kids, and Megumi can set up a bed and room for Venat. Her house may be small, but it's full of love. The babies love her, her brother is confused by her, Klair just wants to kiss her (and will get punched if he tries).
Everything is normal.
Some days later, though, Venat and her can go walking around the Shroud, since she has to do some gathering. Suddenly having so much free time has Megumi trying to fill it with things she used to do before she took on adventuring, and at least, her medicines are selling as usual. ]
There are still some remnants of Blasphemies, but, less and less now... 'tis not so bad now. Seems like the Elementals are doing their part, too. How are you feeling?
[ Venat might be dressed adorably and normally now, too! Cutie adventurer gear! ]
[She does not disappear, decidedly. She is actually in no danger of disappearing at all. She is doing well to be thankful for her second chance at life, and for Megumi to be at her side.
She meets everyone she stood at a distance from for so long. Klair, Gareki. The children. Venat loves the children so dearly. She has never gotten to interact with this many at once. She will hold them, and coo them, and play with them even. It is a happy time for her.
This is normal? Venat likes normal, she thinks.
Their walks through the Shroud are just as relaxing, even if the topic turns to somewhat darker times. Especially with the world finally going back to normal.]
I feel well enough, I am recuperating some of my strength. Perhaps I could help quell the last of the Blasphemies. What say you?
[She offers because she knows she has some sort of magic left in her, she just hasn't tried to use it yet.]
[ It's very normal, even more normal than she'd bear, really. After all that excitement (and all the wounds she bore- she's still not allowed to do anything too strenuous)- but she does nod to her. ]
If you can help, that would be grand, Venat. Is your magic stable? You haven't gotten to try it, have you?
[ Now that she's here, is she reborn as a mortal? Is she still immortal? She can sense a great deal of aether around her, but Y'shtola would know better.
She, on the other hand... well. ]
I should also tell you, I was called to Sharlayan a few suns prior, because a constellation crystal was found there. It led me to Pandaemonium... and there I met... Themis.
[ We're still going with that headcanon. ]
I was however, told to recover. I'm not permitted to do more than I did there... so I will need your aid in combat if it comes to it.
[ She hasn’t really gotten to try her magic. She wonders if it is still as strong as before. Perhaps not. Even if her aether was still reconstructing itself she knows that she could at least be of some help in ridding the world of the blasphemy problem. ]
We will have to test my magic at some point, I am unsure of the stability.
[She gasps audibly, but softly at the mention of Themis. Her only son. It warms her to hear of him, even if Elpis is a time long gone for her. ]
[ She doesn't doubt that she could. After all, if there's anyone who could help, it would be her.
But she smiles when she sees her respond. ]
Don't think there was much of a chance to. He called me his "Falling Star". 'twas sweet of him... but I must know everything now, Venat! Who was your love? Did you ever meet Erichthonios' mother Athena too?
[ She sounds giddy, stepping in front of her and walking backwards. ]
[ She can sense the sadness, but she doesn't want to make Venat too sad so she reaches out and takes her hands in hers as she walks, chuckling. ]
I would expect no less. You only deserve the best of all love, and that Themis... [ She chuckles. ] He speaks of his "dear friend" with such fondness, you'd think he was in love, too.
[ She smiles up at her with a wiggle of her ears. ]
Well, no matter... you're here now, and I plan on showing you all of what our world is now. It might not be what Etheirys used to be before, but it's still beautiful, isn't it?
It would come as no surprise to me if my dear Themis took a liking to Erichthonios or even the last seat of Azem. I suppose what would have been the current seat at the time. He was always like me, filled with a great love. A passion. Themis was always a good and inquisitive one.
[ She does not think she deserves very much, but she cannot argue with Megumi, who seems to think that she deserves the entire world. It warms her hear just a touch.
It would be crazy to say that perhaps even Venat could fall for someone again. But she does not want to interfere with Megumi’s life in that manner. She is here to be a support system and to learn how to live without being a primal.]
Etheirys is beautiful as it is now, the flaws and the cracks only make it that much more beautiful, aye?
I've only just met them... as they were. But I could see it... I hope their adventure turns out most satisfying.
[ She smiles thoughtfully- she honestly wouldn't be surprised if the two grew closer through it. But, that's something to worry about later.
At Venat's words, she smiles and steps up closer, squeezing her hands. ]
'tis all the more beautiful for you in it now. Look at how even the forest responds to you.
[ She'd turned and walked backwards for a reason, and it was because the path they were walking on was drier than usual.
As soon as Venat stepped over it, every weakened blade of grass at the edge of it started to come to life, stopping only where she's stepped. There's a fresh scent of petrichor even though it has yet to rain, and it smells beautiful. ]
Your love is so pure that even the star feels it. Would that I could give you half as much as you give us all, but that doesn't mean I won't try!
It seems my powers as Hydaelyn have not quite waned. Though I cannot feel any sort of transformation possible. I think that I would prefer that. You know how our dear friend Emet-Selch would be such a prude about transformations.
[ But Emet is gone, Hythlodaeus is gone. Hermes? Gone. Venat would be one of the only surviving Ancients. Not of her own will. But she will not take this for granted. To be able to restore such peace to nature thrills her. ]
This world is and always was my love, and mankind was always something that I believed in. You are living proof that I was right, Megumi.
[ That makes her face warm and she chuckles as she steps closer, keeping her hands held and smiling shyly. ]
Give yourself more credit, love. How could I have come this far without you?
[ She squeezes her hands before letting go only to bring them up to the sides of her face. ]
I want you to be free and happy to do all you want. Yet I selfishly wish for you to be here, too. Together with me. I'm not one to look away from my feelings, Venat... but I wonder...
[ She sighs. ]
My soul is but a fraction of your successor's— and I am no more Azem than Amon was Fandaniel. And I cannot help but wonder... would it trouble you if I felt more for you? Would you feel badly?
[ What if she had a closer relationship with the whole Azem, and feels like Megumi is overstepping? ]
[Venat, still growing more used to such close affections gasps quietly when the hands bring themselves to her face, and then she quietly accepts them. Closing her eyes. Listening. ]
I see my successor in you and every other shard of Azem. My love is boundless and unrestricted. But there are other shards, like Ardbert…who I did irreparable damage to. I’ve put you into great harm as well. The fact that you want to give someone like me a chance…
[ She’s happy. She’s happy to be loved.]
So your feelings are not overstepping anything. No, I am simply comforted and happy if you were to love me so. It does not make me unhappy or uncomfortable.
[ She nods to her, watching her beautiful face and expression. How she came to be here is nothing short of a miracle, and Megumi isn't one to waste the chances she's been given.
She draws one hand down to take Venat's, and draw it over her chest, over her heart. ]
If you were to return these feelings- just to see how they will grow... then you would be loving Ardbert and whatever part of the souls have joined with mine.
[ She covers her hand with hers, moving her face closer. ]
I'd never stop you from loving who and all you wished. 'tis not mine way- I too, have many I love. Menphina's love is boundless, and I would share that... despite knowing all I do now. So...
[ She moves her face close to Venat's, touching her lips to hers and lingering there as she stands on tiptoe. ]
Maybe... this way, you'll stay here longer, aye? If you've someone to return to.
[To be able to love Megumi more than just a shard would be something she has never before been granted. She loves the idea, really. She just never knew that she was allowed to have that sort of thing.
Well, her duty as Hydaelyn is over, isn't it? Should she not be able to have the things she likes?]
I can return to you, can't I?
[She forgets sometimes how tall she is, leaning down to meet her lips again.]
If you will allow me to love you in return, of course.
