Jullus pyr Norbanus

I could procure some. What's the plan?

Don't really have any of those available... Hmm...

Maybe... Any suggestions?

I have the distinct feeling I missed something important.

Man...

Its worth a shot, but will it let me teleport to any aetheryte? The Sharlayan one was linked to Regin, so it allowed me to teleport anywhere he attuned to.

Oh! An improvement to the Sharlayan version? Interesting. I hope it works, but without being able to manipulate aether, it is quite a challenge for us Garleans.

For me...? What is it?

Well, I have carried heavier, shouldn't be too hard.

[ The Garlean positions himself to be able to carry Izumi on his back. ]

You sure did...

[ The Garlean started blushing at Izumi's constant pecking of his face ]

I'm at such a disadvantage, I can't even kiss back.

[He wasn't ready. What a surprise, as he was pounced]

ACK!

Wha- Izumi?

Hello??

...great.

Sure! As long as it isn't a surprise hug. I might not be prepared for that.

You can when you return, but that isn't even something you need to ask for. I'm more than happy for you to hug me whenever.

...sorry. I'm sure he'll come around eventually...?

He pops up occasionally to pester Kieren mostly, so even I've not seen him much, this was just a rare occasion.

Yeah. You haven't?

...I mean he does keep to himself a lot, so I suppose not.

Ah, fair enough. I mean I got to spend a little time with Kieren and Mercury too, tis the season.

Should last me a while! Its fun, being able to see Kieren and Regin again. You really need to come over again too, he's already beginning to show obvious signs, its strange, but in a wonderful way, if you get what I mean.

A common occurrence. As long as you're enjoying yourself.

YAYYYYY

[ His face only grew redder by the second. ]

I can't help that being in a relationship is kind of foreign to me, okay?

[ The young man couldn't stop his cheeks from turning red ]

Yeah, yeah... You mean a lot to me too. Wouldn't be here without your aid.

Oh, so just the usual for you, hm? Kind of sweet you're thinking of me though.

[ Jullus returned the smile back to the other man. ]

How's he holding up?

Hmph... If only having the element of surprise was that easy.

So, how have you been doing, Kieren?

[ The intended effect was achieved, the Garlean was startled by his appearance. ]

Did you really have to do that?!

[ The Garlean quietly roamed through the main hub of the island, unaware that he was being watched. ]

@julluspyrnorbanus.bsky.social @farmiestofdaniels.bsky.social Happy Valentione's and all that

I-I don't understand...

...Are you an Ascian?!

[ Jullus started shaking 'Aion' now, trying to force whoever this was to leave. ]

Let Sui go! His body doesn't belong to you!

You. You are! You are Sui...!

[ Now the Garlean had resorted to grabbing onto the Viera's shoulders. ]

Look at me! You have to recognize me! Please...
