As he sat on the cabin steps his elevated body heat lifted from his frame like vapors from a hot meal on a hot plate in a cold room.

Although in this case the room was almost as hot as the plate was.

It took some work to get all three of the girls to sleep at the same time. Enca and Primrose were easy to put down; feed them, play with them, exhaust them, change them, feed them again, they were out.

Cait was the one who took most of the effort.

She seemed to run on endless energy now that she had achieved Mommy Mode but even she needed a proper release.

It was a touchy thing to invoke that release without waking the twins in another room, his hand covering Cait's mouth went a long way to keep what happened in their room from spilling out into the rest of the cabin.

He made his own satisfaction a non-factor; it was her vindication he sought. Knowing Cait's buttons as he did, he found her vindication, and then found it again.

Post union, he kissed her lips goodbye as he left her to cool off on the front porch in the evening heat.

For three hours he sat with Jūken, Zeraora and Zarude

---

cait sat up in bed, having turned on the light several hours following senon's exit. she was pleasantly sore, but her mind refused to settle. she blamed it on the stress inflicted upon her by the outside world. it was as though peace was an impossibility. one problem merely gave way to another; not allowing for a moment's rest.

she rubbed her face and heaved a sigh, wondering where senon had gone following their nightly coitus. standing and shrugging on a light blue robe, she'd exit into the living area; careful not to stir her children as she did so. they were settling in the nursery well enough, after all. 

cait quietly joined him upon the wooden porch, the young woman settling at his side and leaning against him. the air felt surprisingly cool against her freckled skin, but not cool enough as to cause her any amount of discomfort. she tilted her head up toward the sky, breathing deeply. 

"we don't have long," she breathed. "
do we?

He didn't stir at the sound of her footfalls.

By now he recognized her approach by sound alone. The weight of each step on the cabin flooring and the pace of steps told him it was her.

Zeraora and Zarude were waved away into the night to find their own distractions. Jūken, ever-still the Head Ranger's bodyguard, kept close.
Though, Zarude wouldn't wander far from the twins.

As per its responsibilities among their massive pack.

At the feel of Cait's shoulder against his own arm, it expanded automatically, wrapping itself around her, bringing her under his immediate protection.

He still hated the hot summer nights in Hoenn, but if he was going to overheat it was better to do it with the feeling of her skin on his, her scent on his.

"Nah." He stared at the twinklings in the night sky. "We got all the time in the world." His voice never wavered through a single word or syllable.

No matter what came, he would see his family through it.

she manages a smile. 

"oh?"

the sky is clear, the familiar shimmer of stars expertly concealing the object that hurtled toward them as this very moment. 

"
i suppose we could always hide underground.

such an idea had come upon her a while ago. and she took it somewhat seriously, beginning the process of canning and prepping all manner of food. with her power of growth and healing they could potentially last - they could even survive if they were careful. 

'but the aelfric tribe will be wiped out.'

yet her people did not did not despair - for it was against their nature to do so. at the moment they celebrated their life and history; spending what was likely the remainder of their days praying and enjoying the time that they had left. 

"
we should get married. when this is all over."

the date had been an unknown, but she was struck with the urge to plan. if - by some miracle - they survived - she didn't want to wait for another disaster to rob her of this chance.

"Maybe we should get married sooner." It was the only part of him that he would allow any sort of doubt about the coming meteor.

The part that wanted to be locked into harmonious union in the most officiated way before they were sent to the other side.

Surely Arceus would let a married couple and their cubs dwell in the same circles of the afterlife.

More likely though, Sénon was going to make himself complicit in the destruction of that other world; Sea-Hoenn as they had taken to calling it.

"Of course I hate the idea of rushing something so momentous."

A thought came to him that seemed to steal away his resolve for only a moment.

For all the time that had passed since the incident he hadn't really talked much about what happened to him.

Even still, he guessed Cait read the mission reports while he was hospitalized. Meaning she knew who he ran into visiting that seaworld. "Do you think the two of them, on the other side, married?"

the idea of rushing their marriage along didn't sit well with the woman. it was an event that required a careful amount of planning. and she wanted to make sure it was perfect. she'd invite family, friends and the entirety of her tribe if they were both willing and able to join in the festivities.  

but now? 

she thinks of the destruction that could potentially be wrought in the not-so-distant future. would she lose everything? 

'no. we'll all be together in the end.' 

"
i'll think about it," she murmured. 

she wouldn't say no outright - but she most definitely wouldn't concede to the idea. arceus would understand, surely, if such a celebration was held following hoenn's ruin. 

"
the..." she paused, searching for an appropriate term for it. "... the other me would have married the other you if given the opportunity. i actually had a dream she tried whisking you away. can you imagine? being involved in modern-aged groomnapping? i'd have saved you of course.

cait pecked him on the cheek, the mood lightening somewhat.
