of weddings and second thoughts.

[Azzy]

Pellaz sat behind his desk and read the report sent from the house where the Tigrina had recidence. apparently Rue didnt adapt to his new life at all, and with VEl gone from there, he had only sunk deeper into some strange depression. Pellaz had had it with CAeru's whining, what the hell was it he wanted? well he knew what he wanted, but he couldent have that, because that belonged to Cal and Cal only.

Pellaz looked up at the househar who busied themselves with serving his food, which he would eat in his private today, he and Vaysh. with Rue gone, he had had time to rekindle his relationship with the allof har, and Pellaz had enjoyed every second of it. and tonight he had decided to do something that no one knew about, but Thiede was not here, and he could not decide all, could he? after all Pellaz was the Tigron, and who said, that he could not have more than one Tigrina? Thiede wanted a Tigrina to enthral the people, and that he would get, Vaysh was a skilled diplomat, and stunningly handsome when dressed up a bit, so wasnt it better that he had two Tigrinas than one he couldent stand?

Pellaz left the note on the desk and walked over to the househar who carried in the wine in, "FEtch Tiahaar Vaysh for me" he said, watching the househar hurry off, to get his dear friend.

"Fetch?" Vaysh sniffed. "He told me he was sent to "fetch" me," he tried to glare, but ended up grinning like an idiot. Pellaz was so much more comfortable to be around now the Rue was out of the way.

Not that Vaysh had been happy about hte exile at first, he had still harbored naive fantasies that he would be able to reconcile with the blond. Now he saw how stupid that was. Life was so much better now.

"What did you need, of great lord and master?" he drapped himself elegantly on an over stuffed chair.

[Azzy]

Pellaz got up from his chair, and walked over to Vaysh, seathing himsef at the red haired har's feet, resting his chin on Vaysh's knees as looking up directly into Vaysh's eyes. "Be my Tigrina" he said with a sweet smile.

[Erestor Junkie]

Vaysh snorted, and pushed Pellaz onto his back with his foot and playfully pinned him to the ground. "Either you are drunk or mad," he said. "You know perfectly well why I can't be."

[Azzy]

Pellaz sat on the floor and smiled at Vaysh, not loosing his good mood because of Vayush little tantrum. "no, i dont.. tell me why that is" he slowly got to his feet with a cats grace and walked over to Vaysh and put his arms around the other har's neck "why cant you be my tigrina Vaysh? now don't tell me its because you cant imagine sleeping in my bed every night"

[Erestor Junkie]

Vaysh turned his head to avoid the affectionate Tigron. "Don't do this to me, Pell," he whined. "You know Theide ruined me, I can't be your consort."

[Azzy]

"I have a son, Vaysh" Pellaz whispered seductivly. "And just where does it say i cant have more than one consort?" he tenderly kissed VAysh's neck, "you would love it, say yes Vaysh, dont brood so much, live a little"

[Erestor Junkie]

"I really don't know, Pell," Vaysh wanted ot say yes, but he decided to tease Pell a little, and see if he would beg. "Theide will have a fit, and none of the hegemony really care for me. . ." It was blatent fishing for compliments, but he did it anyway.

[Azzy]

"Don't you want to be happy Vaysh?" Pellaz whispered, "screw Thiede, screw the hegemony and screw Caeru" he gently turned Vaysh around so they faced eachother. "You are all i ever wanted in a consort, you are my friend, you are desireable and very very beautiful" he leaned in and kissed Vaysh on the cheek, he didnt exsactly mention his reasons for his actions, but he knew that Rue wouldent come back any time soon, and if he did, he would just have to live with the new arrengements, and Cal, Pellaz had given up on CAl coming home, he didnt even know if the mad har was alive anymore. and then there was thiede, Pellaz didnt mind challengeing him a little.

[Erestor Junkie]

"You will jsut come to resent me as much as Caeru," vaysh said, but with little conviction. It always felt so good to be in Pell's arms.

[Azzy]

"Why would i do that, i chose you Vaysh, i didnt chose him" Pellaz whispered "You would love me, were i the Tigron or not, Caeru would never do that, so Vaysh what do you say?"

[Erestor Junkie]

"We will both regret this," Vaysh said softly, but returned the kiss. "I do love you, Pell. Ahgama help me, but I do."

[Azzy]

"Splendid" Pellaz laughed and squeezed Vaysh close, "tomorrow, marry me tomorrow"

(i was SO close to writing 'score' instead of 'splendid'

[Erestor Junkie]

"So soon?" Vaysh almost balked. "Why not, tomorrow then." He wiggled happily in Pell's arms. "I will marry you, and you me. The rest of them be damned."



************


later that night, alone in his rooms, Vaysh sat in front of hte mirror as he brushed his hair. Was this the right thing? he knew that Pellaz would regret it later, and that it was just another way to hurt Rue and tweak theide.

Oh well, he would enjoy it while he could.

[Azzy]

Pellaz was a little sulking he had wanted to keep Vaysh all night, but Vaysh had insisted on a night to himself if they were to be bonded in the morning. So Pellaz called a househar and asked them to call all of the hegemony and make them aware they were needed in the early morning.
