With Arenis gone Orphiel quickly became her new favorite. She spent nearly all her free time with him. So much so, that one could think he was the father of Rinnuroch if it wasn't for the fact Orphiel didn't come back around till Winter. Her time with Orphiel was always magical, but she had been smacked by reality last fall. Loupgaru was clearly jealous of where her time was now going. It was the only explanation why he tried to get her attention by causing trouble with the Bay. Fell...she would need to go to him soon to make sure he was alright. See if her sister had returned safely and bring him the truth. She would need to have a hard chat with Loupgaru first. Let him know of Yasmina's creation and make his intentions clear. If he was to stay as her Gaurd he would need to stay loyal to her alliances.
But it was hard to think business with Devi gone.
A familiar voices reaches her ears so she turns towards the beautiful form of her lover. She whinnys back, their sad tunes mixing together in the ocean's breeze. She could tell by his face that he shares her sorrows. Of course he did Devi was his daughter just as much as Loupgaru or Arneis. Orphiel was perhaps the most involved with her life. Especially lately with Arenis gone from the island and Loupgaru too bent on causing destruction. A soft sigh leaves her lips when Orphiel says her name. His voice sends little flutters in her stomach, but this was not the time for a loving moment. His lips brush against her own as she feels her heart leaping and her belly wildly kicking. The baby could obviously feel the spark between them.
Silence falls between them as Parvati simply stares at her mate. Until his words finally break the silence. Apologize? She stares in confusion as Orphiel explains his need to say sorry. Her gaze races back and forth with every word. She allowed him to continue on even as his eyes retreat from her gaze. There is no way he believes this! She tries to make sense of why he would be beating himself up for her failures...Just tell me what I can do. His eyes find hers again and begs for a solution to their problem. Something to ease her pain. "Oh, Orphiel." She can barely speak as tears begin to stream down her cheeks. "Please.." Her lips quiver. What could she say to that?
Parvati steps towards her, pushing her forehead down into his shoudler. She shakes her head side to side a few times before letting a deep sigh leave her body."It is not your fault. It is mine." She pulls away from him so that she can gaze into his eyes. "I know being pregnant weakens me in battle, but I keep doing it. I just love my children so much. I'm not sure I am acting like a true Queen." If she was to be Queen of Tinuvel one day she would need more strength than this. No more babies, just power and full health. But how could she stop? Parvati loves raising her young more than anything.
