Pleasure Of Kisses, Pain Of The Bite

chptr 32: peace, love and marriage

"Encre?" Toriel called softly, a smile playing on her lips, before Encre was consumed in an embrace of white fluffiness and warmth. She happily hugged back, petting the goat momma's fluffy, white and soft fur, her little goat tail wagging happily.

"It's so good to see you my child!" Tori exclaimed, actually picking the poor woman off her feet and squeezing her tightly. "Its good to see you too! But...please....can't breathe...!" Encre exclaimed in a strained voice, Toriel quickly putting her down on her feet and smiling sheepishly.

Fallacy chuckles and approaches "queen Toriel, its good to see y-" "and hello Fallacy!" And with that, Fallacy was trapped in the biggest, tightest hug he has ever recieved, bones cracking from how strong the hug was and he felt his airway almost collapse as he hugged back. Encre giggles softly, noting his face turning new shades of blue, before patting Tori on the back, to which she released Fallacy, the man taking a deep breath in, his airways opening all at once and he almost collapses to the ground, Jinx quickly supporting her father before Tori turned her attention to her next "oh my GOODNESS! Who is this one?! She is so adorable!!!" Tori shouted, and Jinx suddenly became this frightened cat, trying to run away only to be yanked back and pulled into an even tighter hug.

Encre couldn't help but burst into laughter as she watched her family almost be smothered to death by the goat mama. Jinx hugged back, or tried to, before being dropped, hitting her butt against the cold, hard tiled floor. Tori fans herself, smiling sheepishly once again "my bad, darlings. I am just so happy to see you again" "oh its not a problem Toriel. I'd like you to meet my family. You and lord Fallacy are already well affiliated, and this is our daughter, Jinx Karmine Graet" Encre stated, Jinx crossing her legs and gripping the sides of her gown and bows politely "t'is a pleasure to make your acquaintance" Jinx stated respectfully, a small smile creeping upon her face. Toriel happily returned the gesture, nodding at the young princess "shes your spitting image" the queen stated to Encre, to which she leads them away to the dining hall for some tea, biscuits and dinner.

"Now, to more serious matters. I know why you are both here" "so you know our intentions?" "Yes...I do" Toriel said, taking a seat, her fiery eyes burning into a part of the table as she thought about what to say next. "Encre...I appreciate what you're trying to do....but how do you suggest we do this?" The queen asked, a look of worry now filling her eyes and dowsing the fire in them. Encre sighs and nods, acknowledging this question, "well....noone will like this...thats for sure....but....I wanted to suggest a marriage." Encre stated, everyone freezing up. Jinx's face dropped, staring at her mother as she felt anger boil inside her. "But, I do not want to marry her off to Asriel....no...I want to marry her off to another" Encre finished her sentence,  feeling her daughters gaze burning into the back of her skull.

"Does the name Marvul ring a bell?" Encre enquired, chin resting in her hands, and Jinx's face let up, an explosion of colour dusting her cheeks as she blushes bright red, covering her face to hide her blush. "Well...yes of course. Koda's little brother right? I'm sorry Encre, I don't think that will wor-" "now hold on, let me finish. I read over the rules before we got here, and I can confirm, this will work" Encre stated calmly. "The rules state, that for a tready to work, the heir to both thrones should be offered to one another in marriage. However. Should there be the case of an adopted heir, any relatives to that heir can be, and are considered heirs to the throne as well, should the first adopted fail to meet their duties."

Toriel was impressed, but before she could speak, a crow flies in through a window, screeching as it burst into flames, and from the fire came two large black wings, which protected something among the fire, folding back to reveal Holocaust and Segador. "Sorry we are late your highnesses" Holo called, to which Fallacy stands with a small smirk "brother. Good to see you again" he said, calmly embracing his brother while Segador approached Tori, to which he was quickly scared off as Tori threatened him with her flames in the palm of her hand. "Where are Umbra and Apollo?" Encre asked, to which she is quickly answered as a dove and raven enter the room, both changing back as they land on the ground, revealing to be Umbra and Apollo. "Forgive our tardiness" Umbra stated, taking a step forward before getting a glimpse of Jinx. He felt a pang in his heart as he remembered the night of her birthday. The memory of seeing that kiss he so badly wanted be given to another who also saught her heart.
