She chuckled at the idea of the Casimir male simply just sucking. Jewel herself knew she wasn't as good as she had once thought either. The dark woman rumbled a matching purr, shifting her attention to ensuring her smaller mate was cared for. Through the depression, the illness.. the process of trying to heal... Jewel had never once doubted the small family she had. @Vysemala was her wife, the other half of her soul. She hadn't expected to come to these lands and find someone that would steal her heart as the chocolate dame had. "Always together, love." She wished she had taken her with her that fateful day in the swamp... perhaps together they would have prevented the tragedy that she had endured. But, endured she had. She was still kicking and breathing through it was slightly less vigorously than before. The ebon woman had a thought that had her smirking as she worked her teeth carefully down the Striped neck. "Perhaps keir or kyon will take a pride of their own.." She had no doubts that if any did..it would he Keir. Kyon was far too gentle a soul to do what it took to lead...

You're poly too you know- if the new place, new pride and all that doesn't work out maybe we go hunting for a third? It was partly a joke, something light hearted and something to give Jewel something to think about besides work, besides a pride. But when said aloud it didn't seem like a horrible idea either. There was no promises any of these new prides would work out for them and the family. This at least was something they could control for now if it was a path to be considered at all. That'd be nice. They could take care of us. You can show them how to do it right. Leave the heaviest lifting to the young, capable, men Jewel had raised. But she knew in her heart Jewel would never truly rest, even if her sons were fully capable she'd be doing something for them, for the pride, for her family. Her neck was slowly craning upwards in response to Jewel's nibbling affectionate bites. She could melt against her shadow mate entirely, the touch warming her and drawing tempting thoughts into her mind. ... you've got me thinking about things besides this conversation and the future you know? Both of her tails curled around and aimed to brush up Jewel's hind legs, tracing a path towards her hip and pelvic bones.

A silence was @Vysemala's answer before the ebon queen would smirk, pausing in her attentions to her mates nape only long enough to debate the idea. "There are many attractive ladies and not ladies out there.. but I'm not Gwyn, my love. I won't expect you to simply be fine if anyone touches my fancy... if either of us finds someone, we should meet together to see if it is a possibility.." She remembered well how Pistis had felt when her husband had brought home another woman and she was simply expected to be okay with that. The ebon woman shook her head with a bemused grin, noting thr subtle change in her mates demeanor. "I'm not opposed to the idea of us adding a third... so long as it is an equal partnership and no one is left in the dust." That was thr last thing she wanted. For her mate to feel...unwanted. When the touch of tails came to her hip she growled, the rumble lifting from her breast followed by a grin. "Is that so? And here I thought myself quite boring." Jewel let her thoughts wander to something more pleasurable than dinner and the stars overhead, a smile spreading slowly across her lips. "Are you certain you are a lion, my love? And not some siren from the ocean come to steal away what little sensibilities I have left in my old age?" Tones was joking as she shifted, limb tightening over her mates side to draw her closer, to feel the brush of silken chocolate against her darker fur.

It'll be fun to... go hunting with you. Vysemala said suggestively with a light, flighty vibration to her words. Day dreaming possibilities, meeting new souls together and trying to make some sort of multi union work. Someone that in the end could make her mate just as happy as she was with Vee, maybe even in different ways? She licked her lips softly and reached inwards to sneak another kiss. Someone equal, someone worthy of us both. She agreed with a firm nod, more serious as she agreed. Hmmm? She sounded coy for a second, purposefully leaning inwards to wrap her body against her mate's closely. A savory warmth blossomed and Vysemala's paw began to wander and trace her mate's side while @Jewel held tight. You know I am no lion- She took a bit of the lead, aiming to try and worm herself over Jewel. -I'm a lioness. /fade wink wonk

The ebon lady smiled at her mate, knowing that truthfully - while she may flirt with the idea of adding another to their pairing.. @Vysemala was everything she could desire in a mate and wouldn't wish more. The dark woman shifted when her wife made it obvious she intended to spend their free time enjoying more than a little one on one time. Jewel of course, was more than willing and happy to encourage such a use of time. The shy female before her had blossomed - and she couldn't be any more proud of the other twin-tail. To have fun into her on that fateful day in Caladan.. That she would have taken a trespasser to her bed - to end up as the tightly bound mates they were? Never would she have guessed. "That you are - my love. That you are." //Fade hueh hueh

Vysemala settled into a position wrapped up around @Jewel like some caramel cloak draped about her shadowy body. In the background the sounds of their breathing, rising and falling against the persistent sound of falling water from the Sacred Falls. Gracefully she draped her head along Jewel's body and fell into a symphony of warm, happy purring sounds while nestled beside her love. Successfully her mind was worked away into a secluded, secure space that was just the two of them. A small sphere of contentment and control, a place she could happy exist in for the extent of their time away. Love you Jewel. She whispered in a voice that was growing tired, sleepy sapphire eyes gazing lovingly on the edges and curves of her shadow cat while slumber began to overtake her. /exit via sleep

She hummed, her own mind drifting in the warmth of her mate ans the gentle content that they drifted through. The heat of summer was in full swing, but the sun's rays were comforting, warming her down to her bones. The spray off the falls kept her from getting too overheated. When vysemala spoke, she blinked open her eye and shifted just enough to smile at the caramel lioness with a rumble. "I love you to, vee. More than you can ever know." While jewel would always admire and watch from afar, she was truthfully only for her wife. She felt safe... and without fear of reprisal unless it was deserved of course. //Exit to sleep//
