Three Otters
Characters: Aikuen, Fira
Location: Kentar's Cabin
Kentar's Cabin
Fira has requested food again for though the mornings of nausea are calming down the hunger is not. So she's ordered Aik out to get food and chosen the moment alone to inspect her stomach in a mirror. Flattening out her dress she can definitely see a small bump's appeared...She starts hunting around drawers on the off chance there's randomly a tape measure hidden about.
Aikuen has been out and about the village for food, as requested. He has made another fish sandwich. Cause he knows she likes it. And now he is hunting for some soup. Take out soup. He went down to the pub and ordered a bowl of some of their stew, and brought along with him a jar from the cabin. Paying the beast he goes about town again picking up things here and there. He now has a pack full of a an assortment of food. Of very origin, color, size, and flavor. Just in case. You never know. All the same, its going to be a very tasty lunch for his wife, and young. He continues to scour the village for anything else she might like. He will return soon.
Fira closes the last of the drawers and just taps her claws on the wood, looking round for more places to search. Really though, who keeps a tape measure handy in every room? Maybe a tailor. She gives in anyway, just returning to looking in the mirror again.
Aikuen hops up the stairs a few at a time, with his pack of food, and the kettle of tea. He blinks at the door for a few moments, and sets the kettles down to open it. The otter then scoots in backwards with the tea. Closing the door behind him. He then stands up and looks over to Fira finally. He smiles faintly and sighs, setting the pack on the bed, and the kettle on the floor. Don't want to burn the fabric. He then walks over behind her and puts a paw around her, which conveniently has the sandwich for her. Looking into the mirror so she can read him, "Whatcha doin..." and he kisses the back of her neck.
Fira might jump if not for the fact she sees him coming in the mirror which rather spoils the surprise. She smirks at his attempt till the sandwich distracts her "Ooo, fish sandwich again, well now I'm eating" she is making sure to keep an eye on him in the mirror this time as she takes the sandwich to munch on, her free paw going to take his.
Aikuen chuckles lightly, and give her paw a squeeze, "Yep! gotcha another one. Also brought stew, more green tea. And a bunch of other stuff... Its all on the bed..." he nods in that direction, "All for you...my love... and the mini otter of course!". He smiles and rest his head on her shoulder looking into the mirror, and he starts to rock from side to side. He smiles and pokes her bump lightly, "What's this i see growing!" he grins. Cant hide nothing from this otter.
Fira sticks her tongue out between a couple of mouthfuls, smirking a little as she waves further pokes away with a paw "You know perfectly well what it is. Provided it's not just all this food I'm eating" a quick stretch of her back and she aims a quick kiss at him before moving away from the mirror at last "Get pouring the tea and we'll see what we've got"
Aikuen makes a stupid face when she sticks her tongue out at him, "A little from column A. And a little from Column B?... And Yes ma'am!" he laughs and walks over to his pack to pull out some cups. He then pours two cups of the warm tea. Not hot, just warm, as its been off the fire for a bit. He hands one to her, while keeping his on the floor, till it reach room temperature. He cant remove his gaze from her bump, "I cant believe it... I mean, i know you told me. And i believed you. But now..." regardless of her, he caresses the bump, "Its actually... visible... Our kit..." he chuckles.
Fira takes her tea and sits down on the edge of the bed, happy enough to let Aik fuss as he likes for now as she pokes about the other food between glances at him. She pauses for a moment to give him a little smile too "I know...doesn't really feel real sometimes but I guess it's starting to show"
Aikuen smiles warmly back at her, looking deep into her eyes, "Yep... But its wonderful. Soon it will be so real... when we can hold the little one... Its really happening." he caresses it one more time, just to get a feel for it. He grins and kisses her softly, smiles as his gaze goes back to her eyes, chuckling, "I bought a lot a fruits and veggies. There all strange and exotic. Bought a few from some market vessels down by the dock..." he reaches in and pulls out a brown fuzzy fruit, "What is this? Its smells great though!" he chuckles.
Fira smiles to and breaks the gaze to look down at the bump too, it's never really hit her before. She knew it was happening of course but nothing really felt any different, now it's just sort of hitting her "Yeah...it's going to be good" scary but good. She's quiet, thinking for a few long seconds before she finally looks back up, putting it aside for now to look at the fruit "Um, what is it?"
Aikuen smiles, and rubs her paw, "It's going to be great..." he hmms and then tilts his head at the fruit, "I'm not quite sure..." he digs his claw in and splits it in his palm. A feat he does with one paw. The fuzzy brown fruit splits into two, revealing a green seedy meat inside. A kiwi. Course Aik doesn't know this. He place one on her lap and takes a bit of the other side, "Mmm... Its really good! Sweet... and juicy" he blinks, "Got some sorta kick though" he chuckles.
Fira hmms and pulls a little bit off of hers with her claw to give it a sniff and nibble on a bit of it "...It's not bad, certainly different" she eats a little larger bit, still testing it out.
Aikuen is quite enjoying his fruit. It IS different. he chuckles and licks his claws, "Mmmm..." he then scoots over near to her resting his back on the headboard, "There are also some more normal looking fruits and stuff. Like apples and carrots... and the like..." he grins and pats the side of his chest, near where Fira is sitting "I'm missing something... or somebeast..." he chuckles.
Fira finishes off her kiwi a little slower but it does disappear and she licks off her paws too before sipping from her tea. She still keeps an eye on him so a smirk appears at his words and she puts her tea down on the floor, out the way so she can safely flop back at his stomach, going to use it as a pillow and try and wind him at the same time for the fun of it.
Aikuen houfs, as she flops, and the wind from him flies away. He catches his second wind before going to eye her evilly. He then chuckles "Rude otter..." poke to her nose, "That's what you are!" he smirks and places a paw on her cheek, "Oh my Darling Fi... you are so cute!" he smiles stupidly, "Are you excited!"
Fira sticks her tongue out again, looking perfectly happy for the moment "Well I couldn't let you wait around" she does pause to pluck up a pear to eat, the belly needs feeding. Still she smirks "Yeah, yeah, cute, rude, wife, soon to be mother of your children. I'm lots of things"
Aikuen pats her cheeks softly and goes to rest it against her side, "Hey. I couldn't ask for any better, than you. You are perfect. Rudeness included!" he chuckles and when she starts to eat the pear he squeezes her nose closed. He will wait for her first comment to go by for now. Ask later. While they are still happy and having fun.
Fira squeaks, strangely since her nose is closed off and with the surprise she has to remove the pear to breathe. She gives him a little mock glare for it "I think you have my nose!"
Aikuen laughs, "Hahah! I sure do! I stole it. Right from under your... NOSE!" he laughs so more, and holds up his paw in the air behind him, "Buts its all the way up there! How are you ever going to get it!" he grins.
Fira laughs quietly, rolls her eyes and just throws the pear at him. Probably won't solve the problem but it seems like the right thing to do.
Aikuen fake ufs as the pear hits him. He chuckles and takes it to bite from it, "Yum! Secondhand pear!" he grins stupidly and places it on top of her head, "Careful... its pear-y" he chuckles, "And i still got your nose!" and he 'places' it on top of his head.
Fira laughs at him, pear and a 'nose' on his head "Yeah? Well" she reaches over to give his ears a light tug, 'steal' them "I've got your ears" switching to mouthing just for effect.
Aikuen blinks as she mouths. What the...? How did she...? He then realizes and laughs, "Clever. Very clever Fi..." he then goes to tickle her in the side. Regardless of pear, 'Nose', 'Ears'. Its good to have fun again.
Fira laughs again, cackles even though again it's all silent until he starts tickling and she eeps! Laughing with sound this time as she tries to push the paw away to escape the tickling.
NO! The otter will not let his beautiful wife escape, nor will he quit! He continues his tirade of tickle mania. Wait! The otter did stop, and he waits for her to look. He then gives a very goofy face, and continues on. Aik the tyrannical tickle monster!
Fira laughs some more before she finally moves, going to give him a long kiss, before a quick peck on the nose, all to distract him "My fool of a husband, keeping me from eating"
Aikuen is successfully distracted. When the kiss comes, the otter stops his tickling immediately to close his eyes and groan happily, leaning into it. And when she pulls away from him, oh sad, he smiles at her, and licks his lips, "I'm the fool then! Here..." he chuckles and takes the pear that landed on the bed. He takes a bite before going to kiss her heavily.
Fira chuckles quietly as well and kisses him back, stealing the bit of pear in the process, mmm pear. Of course she's still hungry.
Aikuen mmms and licks her nose, after the kiss "Mmm... tasty..." he chuckles rests against the headboard again. The older otter reaches for the sandwich, and hands it too her. Fira rolls her eyes at him, but still goes to eat the sandwich all the same. And of course flop against his stomach. Aik ufs at the flop and chuckles, going to rest his paw across her belly. He watches her eat, rubbing her bump, until eventually he dozes off. Its was hard running around town, gathering food. Fira smirks at him, and finishes off the sandwich, and licks her claws before going up to give him a small kiss. She gives a small nuzzle to his cheek, before going to rest against his side. Until she gets hungry again. She runs a paw over bump, and looks at it, before closing her eyes. Eventually drifting off as well.
