Welcome to Vaioa,

a desert triumvirate of Hold, Weyr, and Mine. Thread's return and bandit raiding brought strife between weyr and hold, but the bandits' recent defeat has returned the region to an uneasy peace. Now, a shipwreck on a forgotten continent and the decision to settle this rediscovered land has opened up a world of opportunity to Vaioa, if only they can handle the dangers.

Thoia blushed deeply at Emmeth's words, even whispering "family." It fit, but it was such a big word. She did manage not to point out that Gale was not there, but she supposed no family was always perfect. She chuckled a bit at Luca's reaction but despite the slight tug, took a step from her to gently hug Emmeth and kiss his nose. "Thank you, Emmy." Nope, those were not tears in her eyes.

She then moved back and kissed Luca again. "I'm going to get you that water and then I'll be right here." Hope might be able to surprise everyone by reading pillow in her person's mind and bringing that, but there was no way Thoia would let the still growing green bring a full glass, or a glass at all, not yet.

Slipping away, she very quickly poured two glasses of water and brought them back with her. Sitting down beside Luca, she handed her one, took a sip of her own, and then set it on the ground beside her. "So...um..." It was weird. Part of her wanted to actually officially say the words, and part of her suddenly felt stupidly bashful even though she knew they'd be received well!

Luca watched Thoia closely as she stood up to hug Emmeth. She'd heard her whisper, echoing the word that Emmeth had used so easily. The blue himself seemed to turn a shade darker in the cheeks at the kiss, but he raised his chin off the ground to nose at Thoia. I-I don't k-know why you a-are thanking m-me, but...y-you're w-welcome? Though the acceptance of her gratitude was posed more as a question, it was still a better reaction than he normally gave to gratitude. She was red again, and he thought her eyes looked too shiny, so he decided to humor her. Just this once.

Just this once, my ass, Luca thought to him, leaning up as best as she could into the kiss that she finally received. I swear, she likes you more than me. Settling back on the pillow, she nodded with a quiet hum and watched her little candidate fetch the water. Was she really crying?

I am not sure. Did I say something wrong?

Luca tore her gaze away from Thoia to regard her dragon. He sounded and looked mildly distressed. So she shrugged, whimpering at the sensation, and lay a hand on his leg. We'll see. But I don't think you did. The bluerider shifted to the side when Thoia rejoined her, so that the candidate could share at least a bit of the pillow. Emmeth was comfortable to lean on, but pillows made him more comfortable. "Thanks, love." The word slipped out casually enough, as she took her glass, but she watched Thoia closely as she said it. "You're cute when you're awkward. Come here." Setting the glass down after swallowing half the water in it, she gingerly wrapped her arm around Thoia and tugged her into her side. Hopefully, her flinch was well-hidden.

"Careful!" That shook her out of whatever awkwardness there was, though she did, gingerly every so gingerly, lean into Luca. Kinda, Ok, not really, but she leaned in her direction with the hope it would feel like leaning into without actually putting any weight on her. Thoia turned her head to gently kiss Luca again and also to look at her and make sure she was ok.

There was still a touch of pink in her cheeks, and perhaps still a gleam from an unshed tear, but her expression was all concern as she looked for signs that Luca was in pain. It took a moment, having missed the momentary wince, before she relaxed. "You...we have to be careful, even if that means letting me be the big spoon for now."

And yet, reassured, she smiled and shifted so she could face her and be close, but not leaning on her. Awkward positioning as irrelevant if it kept Luca from hurting herself and prolonging the healing process. Again her smile became a bit shyer, "I do love you, Luca. Have for a while, but when you got hurt, when I thought I might lose you...it hurt. A lot. I was scared, even after they assured me you were ok...or going to be ok. I love you."

"Careful, careful, careful," Luca mocked under her breath, quite childishly. She frowned at Thoia, unimpressed by her "leaning" on her. If the candidate thought she actually believed that she was leaning on her, she had severely overestimated her stupidity. Luca didn't think she was that dim. She squeezed her eyes shut, using the kiss as an excuse, and took a steadying breath through her nose. Faranth, it had hurt, but she'd had worse. When Thoia leaned back, she opened her eyes and returned her gaze evenly, offering her a crooked smile. Mind over matter.

She is right, though. I believe it would be bad if you hurt your stitches. Emmeth hadn't moved, as he was rather accustomed to his rider's carelessness. If she truly hurt herself, he would leap into action immediately. But, as much as he hated to even think it, maybe some harmless pain would knock some much-needed sense into her.

Hmm. Technically, the stitches can't feel pain. Emmeth groaned, and Luca snorted, tugging more insistently on Thoia. A look of pure horror crossed over her features, and she pinched the candidate's side. "You? Big spoon? Over my dead body, doll." In retrospect, perhaps that wasn't the best joke to make, considering what Thoia said next. Emmeth merely closed his eyes and sighed, ready to intervene if needed, but content to bask in his people's presence in silence.

Luca's smile slipped into something more serious when Thoia stubbornly refused to lean on her. I'm not breakable. As much as she wanted to scream that at her little candidate, she refrained. Thank Faranth, too, because if she had started yelling, she might have missed out on Thoia's revelation. I do love you, Luca. Yes, she knew that. It was obvious. But actually hearing the words made the bluerider inhale sharply, and she averted her eyes as a lump began to form in her throat. Faranth, what is wrong with you?

Hush. Nothing is wrong.

The bluerider cleared her throat twice, blinking hard against unexpected moisture in her eyes, before she met Thoia's eyes once more. She wasn't quite certain how she felt about this change in the tone of their conversation. Solemnity did not suit her, and she was very aware of that. But...joking just didn't feel right. Words were certainly not her strong suit, either, though. So she just took Thoia's hands in her own, squeezed them tightly, and leaned in to press their lips together.

Thoia did not need Luca to say the words. Which didn't mean it wouldn't be nice, but she knew it without the other woman saying, caught it in her teasing use of the word "love" and in the way she grabbed her hands and leaned in for a kiss.

Careful not to make her lean far, Thoia moved to meet her and to deepen the kiss--that could be safe, if Luca didn't do anything stupid. Nor did she hurry to end it. Her own eyes closing as for the moment the world was her and Luca and Emmy and Hope and somewhere Gale.

However, eventually it did end, and Thoia opened her eyes, pulling back only a bit and smiling. "So see you have to be careful, and it won't kill you to let me be the big spoon!" She winked, having decided to not be too bothered about the tasteless comment. "I can tell you how impressed I'll be by your hard earned scars fighting the menace that is thread if it makes you feel better."

A hum seemed to resonate in both Luca's and Emmeth's throats while the two women kissed. Neither could help it; Luca was far too busy enjoying the kiss, and Emmeth felt everything that she felt. Despite not being in the mood for Gale to chase Nymeria, Luca was very much in the mood for Thoia. She always was. She leaned farther in, releasing the candidate's hands so she could cup her face. Her torso twisted towards the other woman...and lightning shot across her back. She choked back a cry, and was grateful--though disappointed--that that was the moment Thoia pulled away. Panting just a little bit as she tried to breathe deeply without pain, Luca rested her forehead against Thoia's cheek.

"Careful's not in my vocabulary, doll," she muttered, snuggling closer. "Maybe I'll let Gale chase after all."

I d[don't think s-so, O-Ours. I'm n-not g-going to allow y-you to hurt y-yourself.

But it'd be so worth it! Luca chuckled and growled playfully, her fingers tickling under Thoia's chin. She didn't lift her head, but she felt that Thoia was smiling from the way her cheek was bunched up. "I think it would kill me to let you be the big spoon, hun. I'm not allowing it. How am I supposed to protect my little candidate when I'm a little spoon?" Wrinkling her nose, she shifted back a little to see Thoia's face.

"Oh? Is that so? I never thought you found my scars attractive, love." With a wide-eyed grin, she wagged her eyebrows. "I'd love to hear your praises."

A-as if y-you need your e-ego b-boosted.

"Ridiculous idiot." She smiled as she said the words, having had her eyes closed during the moment that Luca was biting back the scream opening them almost immediately after and so having missed it. "Hush, we can cuddle rather than let you get frustrated even more so by Gale." She shook her head, but then smiled to Emmeth, "Glad one of you is sensible." There was a slight pink to her cheeks again, caused by their happy humming.

"I wasn't kidding the other night with Rae, you know. That is not the goal, even during sex itself. So for now, we can find intimacy in ways that don't risk your back." She grinned, "Anticipation can build up in the meantime." With a waggle of her eyebrows she snuggled into Luca, still carefully and putting most her weight into Emmy rather than Luca.

"You don't need to protect me, Luca. But...hmm...I am conflicted about your scars." She smiled a bit, "On the one hand they are rather fetching in a wher may care way, and they show the lengths you go to on behalf of Pern, of people who will never know you. On the other hand, they a reminder of pain, of how dangerous your life is, of the real risk you take."

"Idiot? You shouldn't talk about Emmy like that," Luca teased, letting her head flop onto Thoia's shoulder. That, at least, didn't hurt too much. I can do something! Emmeth feigned a gasp at the "insult," but it wasn't heartfelt. He smiled at Thoia's suggestion, knowing full well how their idiot would take that. Sure enough, Luca lifted her head with an expression of personal affront. "Just cuddle? While Gale chases a green? Now, where's the excitement in that? We've been just cuddling for two sevendays. " And she had not, did not, mind that one bit. If she had to choose between all the one-nighters in the world and just cuddling with Thoia... Oh, fardles, I'd pick her. That realization was horrifying. Yet, as Thoia blushed cutely, the brief horror turned into something much more pleasant.

S-sweet one. If neither o-of us h-had common s-sense, w-we would not be here. Emmeth lightly poked at Luca's leg with his tail tips, and she swatted at him. His fake squeal echoed in the room.

Snorting at that, and at the mention of their nighttime conversation with Rae and Aislyn, Luca kissed the side of Thoia's neck and tried to position them so she was the one holding Thoia and not the other way around. Because, injured or not, she was no sharding baby spoon! "Doll, you should know by now that I fully understand the wonders of anticipation. I'm just saying, my back can handle anything you throw at it."

Y-you've a o-one-track mind, h-hmm?

"No. I'm just very driven towards singular goals."

T-that's...nevermind... Sometimes, with his bonded, it was better to just drop it.

Luca grinned, pecking Thoia on the nose. "'Course I have to protect you, Idiot." Thoia could believe otherwise all she wanted, but Luca was a firm believer in protecting the ones she loved. Thoia was higher on the list than even N'ik, mostly because N'ik was invincible in her eyes. Her smile faded, then, and she lifted her head to look almost sadly at Thoia. "Does it bother you, what Em and me do?" It wasn't as if they could change it if it did bother Thoia, but she still had to ask. Because they loved each other, and people who loved each other spoke of their concerns and fears. Right?

Thoia laughed and kissed Luca's cheek, "I don't know if I would consider what we were allowed to do in the infirmary cuddling, especially during the time you were kept under." Sure Weyr Healers lived in the weyr and understood weyr mores, they still were not going to allow someone else in the bed with a patient who needed to be kept still. "We can see, later, what we can manage that won't hurt your back, but the stitches and the limitations are temporary." Thoia nuzzled into her, chuckling at Emmeth's words.

"True, and I thank you for keeping the two of you around to be here. I know, you don't understand what I'm thanking you for...I'm just thankful you are around and mostly healthy and my family." She grinned at him, which turned into full laughter at the banter between the pair. She was fairly certain Luca knew what she'd done, but it was still cute and amusing.

At Luca's question, Thoia laughed and shook her head. "Of course not. I hope to do it someday myself. But just because I unestand it, When thread is in the sky... and it's necessary! Pern would..." She shuddered, "Pern wouldn't survive without dragons to fight the ancient foe. But I'm weyrbred. I don't have some romantic notion or anything less than a full awareness of the possible cost. And so no, love, I don't mind what you do. I trust you. I know you're not stupid about it. I also know that no matter of care can prevent all injuries."

"Of course that counted," Luca muttered. Sure, they had not been allowed in the same bed during her stay in the infirmary, but they had been touching. That counted as a minor form of cuddling. She grinned widely, taking Thoia's words as a promise. Two sevendays was too long. Much too long. If she could only keep the pain in her back under control, she'd be able to properly thank Thoia for her patience and care. Maybe a tiny dose of fellis...

Or not. I'd rather you did not become addicted to something else. The words were spoken for Luca alone, belying the seriousness of them. Emmeth leveled his rider with a look, which Luca did not return. How the blue remembered those Turns, she did not know. Perhaps they had been lurking in her own memories. Or perhaps they had affected him more than she had thought. She shook the thoughts off, humming noncommittally.

Emmeth grunted, his expression softening at Thoia's thanks. This time, he understood why she was grateful. W-we are thankful, t-too, sweet one. I a-am glad w-we made it this f-far, to b-be your f-family.

Sappy git. The bluerider raised a single eyebrow at Thoia's laugh, though she was glad that the candidate wasn't taking their conversation too seriously. She hoped. A shudder ran through her frame at the mere thought of Thoia and some unborn gray or green flying and flaming in silver rain. At the same time, she felt Thoia shudder, and she squeezed her tighter, both to protect her from the future and to assure her that the present was safe. "We'll always come back to you, you know," she vowed, looking her lover right in the eyes.

Mine...we cannot promise... A touch of yellow and gray appeared in Emmeth's eyes.

I can. And I mean it. Death would flee before her, because she simply would not die. Not anytime soon. Not while Thoia was still with her and Emmeth. The blue did not speak, far too logical to offer the same promise to their little candidate.
