"Zaaaynne..!!" The smallest lamia called out, he hadn't spotted his mate in a while and was worried one of the others broke their promise and took off with her. He searched every tree and rock he could get to before he heard her giggling, gliding across the surface of the branches he was on. He leaned down to spot her by the river, a duck and its babies swimming through the water while she watched. Occassionally throwing small seeds she collected from sunflowers and watermelons, the mother duck rushing like a torpedo to get the food thrown out which made zayne giggle again.

The lamia brought himself down from the tree, his presence scaring the ducklings farther down the river while the mother stayed close for more food. Confused of the ducklings retreat, she looked back just as he began to coil his tail snuggly around her spine. "Thank toriel, i found you! I was worried you'd gotten hurt or captured!" He whined, making her meekly apologize while wrapping her arms around the scared skeleton. "I-I'm sorry bluu... i-i tried to tell you where i was going but you were asleep.."

Bluu let out a long sigh, gently snuggling against the indented bite mark on her left collar bone. Right where he marked her as his when they officially mated, he could still smell her sweet scent from that night. "I'm just glad your okay! Now lets go back to the hollows so the others don't get suspicious." He mentions, watching her nod while moving to crawl onto his back. He was a lot faster then her so it was just easier to hitch a ride on him, wrapping her arms around his torso and shoulders. He waited as she got ready before he began to slither home, the others would definitely say something when they got back.

Especially the darker and moodier two of the den. The lazier one might ask where they'd been but otherwise not be as snappy. Brushing past the foliage to the path that led to their secret home, he felt zayne tense as she grunted quietly. "You okay?" He asked worriedly, pausing to check on her while her grip slackened. "Y-Yeah... j-just hungry." He hummed, gently setting her down while patting her skull. "I'll collect some mango's from the nearby trees okay? You keep going back to the nest." She nodded while rubbing her arm, watching his tail slink away into the darkness of the forest before she turned to continue on her way back.

She wouldn't admit she was feeling a little sick, the lamia's never seemed to understand sickness and often tried crazy ways to get it to go away. She had to hide it if she wanted to sleep at all, spotting the shift in the vine wall. She pushed aside the green ropes to climb over the small rock wall that led to their nest. Once inside, she brushed some of the bones the sloppy eaters left behind and sat down with her legs pulled up to her chest. The broad tail of one of the sleeping lamia's shifted while he raised himself up, their open maw revealing sharp fangs before they noticed her sitting quietly.

Shyly waving as she smiled, she kept still as he slithered closer before his tail wrapped gently around her. "H-Hey navy.. i-i'm sorry did i wake you?" Getting a grunt in response, he leaned into her left shoulder while his tongue flicked over the mark on her shoulder. His own mark on his mate that showed equal ownership with the one below it. "Nah.. been awake since ya left. Was waitin' for you to come back." Nodding, she hoped that he wasn't aware that she was sick. She remembered leaving the den in a coughing fit while trying to keep as quiet as she could, feeling him shift as he nuzzled his skull against hers before slithering back to his rock.

Laying his torso against it while coiling around its base with his tail, effectively dozing off once more while she smiled. He was always so sleepy but at night he seemed to burst with sudden energy, possibly hunger driving him to wake at night and go hunting. Her eyes lifted as bluu entered the nest, carrying six mango's for her with a happy grin as he brought them to zayne. "I brought some food for you as promised!" He proudly exclaimed, setting the mangos on her lap while glancing to her for a sort of reward. Smiling, she leaned forward and gently kissed his cheek while thanking him.
