King crosses his arms and ankles, left shoulder leaning against the frame of a still open front door.

Watching these two was a gift in it of itself, yet he couldn't shake a feeling. Was okay? He'd like for Delta to see her again.

He wouldn't wish the pain of not seeing one's child on the other woman, no matter what happened between them.

At Freya's use of the ancient tongue King raises an eyebrow.

"Found yerself time ta study another language did ye?"

Delta meanwhile mouths the words silently, hand resting on the golden fur, eyes wide as the Raging Bolts fangs drip with predatory saliva.

"i've always known draconic," she says, but language is a funny thing like that. it's as living and breathing as the people it dwells inside. freya's connection to it had always been secondhand through studies from the morningstars, but father winter had gifted her a lifetime of memories, making it part of her.

"but yeah, you could say that." there is a hint in her tone, a look made to king - she has more to tell him, but not here. not in front of delta.

she rests her chin on the top of the girl's head, covers her hands with her own, and shows her how to make the dragon pliant. they knead with their palms a muscle beside its spine and it thrums, shakes out its neck, and curls up, lashes rluttering closed.

"if you like this one, you should see the other ones, del. once i have them tamed, i'll bring them around. they're not as friendly as this guy right now."

"News ta me." He says, brow raising even higher in a subtle accusation.

In the end something like that only piqued his curiosity, not his irritation, so he moves off to the kitchen as she continues her explanation.

He stops as he overhears something he doesn't like.

"Ye want ta bring untamed dragons and introduce 'er ta my kid? Tryna get yerself another dragon specialist are ye?""

she dips her brows in consternation and tells delta in soft whispers more about the fantastical beasts she bore witness to in area zero. she holds her tongue, though, and opts not to tell her that her dad was down there too. 

"i said once i tame them, thank you. if you're going to get annoyed at what i'm saying, at least listen," she says, a teasing lilt to her voice that'd be vacant quite literally anywhere else. 

"would that be so bad? and besides, not your choice. what do you want to specialize in, del?"

"Then who would correct me when I'm wrong?" He says with a sickly sweet smile.

To Freya's question — Delta shrugs. Not the normal type either, but something that says clearly she didn't want to pick a side.

"Look at that, ye put 'er on the spot." His tone is still playful, but strained, as he reaches inside of the fridge. "Del come away from the giant scary beat and come get a snack, ye?"

Food will never not motivate a Wayland.

"you mean you don't keep him in check?" she asks delta and gets a variation of the wayland impish smile in return before she leaves the raging bolt behind in lieu of a snack. the dragon opens up one big eye and stares up at her, snorts decisively, and then curls its head away. 

"you'll change your mind one day when you see the draciary," she promises as she follows behind. she's not here for the snacks, but she is there for the company. 

she intends to greedily drink up all she can before he puts her out. 

"it's nothing like the estate, but it's damn well close. i'm even, sort of, teaching." and it feels good. it feels so good, but there is always that missing piece, that pitch black against the sun where he ought to be beside her. it pervades the flushing pride, making her lapse into silence rather than tell him about the people she's met. 

the strides she's taken. 

what if she takes too many without him?

He gives Freya a soft, but withering look as she follows after Delta's shadow.

He makes sure she sees him mouth the words

'Don't even try it'

Her last tidbit of information sparks curiosity.

"Oo, teachin' eh? Who's the lucky students?"

Rough around the edges as she was, the betterment of society was something she sought after always. Sometimes that was guidance, others in fire and brimstone.

she holds her breath. lets it go. the words won't mean anything to delta (until they do, because the girl's too smart for her own good and honestly, she knows how to get on the internet, freya). 

"mostly members of the amnesty program. we folded in optional volunteer hours with the dragons." she tests the waters and leans a hip into the kitchen island. 

"just a few are learning draconid. only the language. the...i'm not sure if i know the right traditions to teach that. one of them, , is learning combat. don't look at me like that! i learned from the best."

"Amnesty, eh?" This character didn't have a problem with the program, but that wasn't to say he cared much for it.

"Seems a bit heavy handed ta teach them a language like that. Ain't that like, cultural appropriate er somethin'?" Draconid she may be, raised in their beliefs, she was not.

"Well, yer welcome ta send this ta my ring anytime. I'll treat him absolutely right." He says with a devilish smile.

she hasn't told him yet. she hasn't told him about the impossible journeys. meeting her lost cousin. finding and parting with her mother - her real mother. the tumultuous fall through father winter's portal. 

how many strides indeed. 

"no," she says defensively, "not when there are so few draconids left. so few...of us left." she rounds the table and fetches a glass from the cupboard, moving as though she hasn't been missing from the space for weeks on end. 

"i've learned about my birth parents. they were from sootopolis. they were draconids. and the morningstars knew, but they never told me. i still don't know why." she tries to meet his grin halfway, but it doesn't reach her eyes. her expression sours.

"maybe one day i can," she says, more bitterly than she intends.

Draconids. He chews on the strange name.

Not exactly worldly knowledges, he figured it was just another name for those that loved dragons; but, something in her tone dispels him of that notion.

Her words only confirm it.

"I don't know what that means," he says, not ashamed to admit ignorance. "Care ta explain?"

Gentle hands lift Delta onto the counter in-front of him as she eats her snack, both sets of ocean blue hues watching Freya, waiting.

at first she thinks he's talking about her barbed rebuttal, but his jest about caleb had been mostly that anyway - a jest. no, he doesn't know what her heritage means, and a whole other lifetime sweeps through her in an instant. she nearly drops the glass, managing to save it at its zenith and only spill a few drops on herself. 

she sits and she thinks fondly back to the time she returned after another year-long journey that had folded into just a few short weeks in this plane. she'd flung herself into his orbit with a sense of reckless finality. 

now here they are again, spinning. 

"i met my birth mother in the border. i saw - i saw artemis there too. and a man came with me. . his mother was waiting for him too." she bites her lip. "i have a family, king. a living family. and there's still so much i don't know about it, but i know the name of my lineage. where i come from.

"and soon after that, before i could make sense of it, father winter visited again."
 this, she says slowly, carefully. there's only so much she wants to talk about in front of delta. "it was...i was away a lot longer than last time."

King exhibits more patience than typical as both he and Delta listen to Freya's story.

The nuance is lost on the little girl; as bright as she was, she was still only a child.

King mindlessly taps his fingers on the girl's knee, eyes narrowing.

"Were they.. yer real parents? Or from that alternate reality er whatever?"

it's a question that makes sense, but still it brings a brief flash of pain over her face. it had taken her so long to trust herself after recovering from fernando - her thoughts, her body, her breath, all her own, but still that inkling of but is it you? always remained.

"she was real," she says firmly. "and the morningstars...i think they knew. i think they knew from the beginning who i was, but i don't know why they never told me."

she brings the water to her lips, fingertips pink with taut pressure.

"but winter gave me the life i would have had if she'd been there. not a glimpse, king. a lifetime." her breath rattles; the thick ropes that had bound her together begin to slacken. her arms come around herself for comfort, glass set on the counter.

Silence stretches. There's still so much he doesn't understand; so much he's not sure he'll ever understand.

"They must've 'ad a good reason." It's a stretch, but, it's the best he had. Parents protected their children. His history aside.

King sits next to Freya.

"A whole another life huh? How many ye plan ta stack up?"
