What are Leskas? - Sholan Alliance 2

Chapter 12 - Ni'uzu hits again

Since Billy and Satasha were isolated due to the link day Kingie had talked to Crystal about bringing her to his home. She had to think about it since she was still deathly scared of being rejected or looked down on. It took a while and some convincing before she said yes, "I will go but I am terrified Kingie. I know what you said is true but part of me is just so scared of rejection." She leaned into him as he was holding her.

Kingie wrapped an arm around her, "I know Crystal and I talked to my parents. I didn't go into details, simply that you had suffered some severe trauma and to keep the personal questions to a minimum." He rubbed his cheek against hers briefly, "My youngest sister is really looking forward to meeting you as well." India was curious but more interested in the males she was currently hunting due to her first season.

She sighed and leaned into the hug and nuzzle. Crystal felt bad for taking up so much of his time but she needed the anchor. Working with the telepath was helping but she couldn't stand to be away from him for more than an hour or two at most currently, "Well shall we go and what should I wear?" Crystal was going to need to find something to thank him with for his attention and support.

He smiled, "That is my scary human speaking and good for you." When she asked what to wear he frowned slightly, "I would go with a tabard and sandals since it is still pretty warm out there. Pack a small bag since we are going to be spending the night." As Kingie was speaking he pulled off his warrior robes and pulled on a brown tabard that complimented his fur.

Crystal had to stop for a brief moment and wonder why his presence didn't bother her. He was male and was good looking but his being male should have freaked her out. With a sigh, she stood and thumbed through the tabards she had and finally found a soft mauve one that she liked and quickly pulled it on.

Once she was dressed Kingie ran a brush through her hair and made sure it looked as best as possible, "You have such lovely hair and it is such a rare color as well." Once done he waited for her to pack and they left the room they shared and headed to the main gate, "I have called for a public air car to take us to my parent's house."

She nodded and wrapped an arm around one of his, "I know I have said it but thank you so much Kingie for everything. You didn't need to do everything you have for me and I really do appreciate all the attention you have given me." If it wasn't for Kingie she didn't know where she would be now.

Kingie smiled down at her, "I know sweetie and I don't mind. Once in a blue moon I do get an urge to go out for ale with the guys but I have enjoyed getting to know you." He removed his arm from hers and wrapped it around her shoulders. Yes, they looked like a couple but he didn't really care what others thought. She needed the comfort and the telepathic specialist had talked to him about what she needed.

"I know we didn't meet under the best of circumstances but I am glad that I got to meet you. You are lovely strong girl and as I said on the ship the other warriors have seen that and respect all of you." He grinned down at her, "I just got the new patch for my warrior robes and it is with the tailor right now."

She looked up at him in shock and then started giggling, "I R mighty scary human, be afraid, very afraid..." Crystal couldn't resist and did the claw thing with a hand and growled. Just for good measure she made it a cute little growl, "If you need time away I can go and spend time with Dani or even Billy and Satasha." She didn't want him to feel stifled or caged being with her.

Kingie snickered and waved the air car down and helped her in. Once he had entered the address in and inserted his card to have the cost deducted he leaned back and relaxed, "I can't wait to see everyone. Oh, my littlest brother is likely to crawl all over you. He is about five in human years and is going to be fascinated by you." Kingie chose not to say anything about going out for an ale at the moment.
