[ the hound doesn't mean to wince when Kai gives him his name and title, really he doesn't but-- well shit. he knows of Kai, flicker of a mention at a meeting where he attended for show (and was bored the whole time), and knows that he is more closely tied with the god of the sea than most. of course he couldn't have gone and gotten himself engaged to just some selkie; he just had to aim for the heir.
fuck, Adder might just kill him.
with a muffled noise that is half whine and half sigh, Ros drops his head into his hands and rubs his face before carding his fingers through his damp hair.]
Fuck, if 'Don doesn't kill me for fucking shit up, Adder might. [ he looks up, whipcord fast to look at Kai, eyes wide.] Totally not your fault! I'm not-- this isn't because I don't think you're totally husband material or anything but like-- fuck, it's-- well I am sure you realize how complicated it is.
[ The recognition settled over the hound and not in too pleasant of a way from Kai's viewpoint but it made sense. They were from literal opposite sides of existence - the sea and the ground. At least, they weren't the ground and the air given the greater rivalry there and how much war tended to break between the two factions. An exhausting plight, honestly, when there were greater things to take care of such as the actual state of the world. The universe even.
Frown tugging at his lips, Kai tried and failed to not take it all personally. How could be not with the whining and face covering? Did Ros find him unappealing? He knew he might not have the stunning beauty of the sirens but he thought he at least had some attractive points.
Adder. Right. The god of the underworld and not a friendly person at all. Kai had only met him once and vowed never again after the encounter because yikes. ]
You think I'm husband material? [ Proabbly not the main focus to make there but he couldn't help himself and the way it bubbled hope again within him. ] My mom is going to be really mad. She thought you were - snarly. I remember now that time the two - the sea and the ground had a summit. That didn't go very well, did it?
[ A pause and then - ] Do you remember me from - back then?
apparently this thread has all of ros;s attention SHRUG
[ really the only thing that Ros can focus on is how this might make shit worse for Adder. how the god of the sea might try to claim that Adder orchestrated all of this in order to have some sway or pull in his domain. how this was some elaborate plan to claw at more power, even if Ros knows that the god of the underworld wishes for no such thing. if the circumstances were different, if he wasn't The Hound, and Kai wasn't heir to so much it wouldn't be an issue. well, it would be less of an issue, but--
Ros blinks at the question, realizing now how he wasn't paying that much attention to how this would be affecting Kai. how what he was saying might come off far more hurtful.]
Of course! I mean-- from what I know of you? Which I guess is mostly things in passing, but still, I don't want to be shallow and say you'd make a great husband just because you're gorgeous but I just-- fuck. It's all-- [ another whine. take pity on him, Kai, he is not an orator for a reason okay. he snarls and kills shit, he doesn't sway things with fancy words.] I'm so not good at this, I'm sorry.
[ he looks even more sorry when Kai says that his mother will be furious. he vaguely remembers her, from once upon a time, beautiful much like Kai, with a tempest of a temper.]
Yeah nothing between the sea and the land go over well, especially when orchestrated by the air. [ there is a snort at that, before:] Honestly, no. I was-- I was more focused on making sure no one tried anything with Adder. I mean, it is my job.
[ a small smile. ] You're mom wasn't wrong, I am usually pretty snarly at those things, never one for rules and political things myself. Just ... well, guarding I guess.
[ While wars were started over people and love before in the past, Kai never anticipated being apart of such a thing. Would their union cause a battle? A fierce debate over boundary lines and what constituted pierr for each section? Selkies were powerful in their pursuit of allure and the grasp of the water element but those of the ground were just as lethal. They commanded the shadows and the life force.
It made such a mess.
Nodding along, Kai reached out a hand to squeeze Ros' arm. ]
It's okay. I get it. This is unexpected and complicated in a lot of ways but we need to decide how to go from here.
[ Holding out the ring box again, he smiled. ] But first we need to take care of this. I mean - unless you don't want us to wear wedding rings.
[ rituals and traditions are upheld for a reason; there is a magic in them, a binding essence that goes deeper and farther than simple magic or basic spells. something that fuses together souls and being. Ros knows now that there is no removing this bond between them, not easily at least, because the ritual has been done and Kai has accepted it. and, now that he knows what to look for in his own being, he can sense the trickle of change in himself; the lick of sea wind and the hum of the ocean in his bones. it means that on some level, subconscious or not, Ros also accepted it. no matter how much trouble it was going to cause the parties involved.
there is another sigh and Ros gives Kai a small smile.]
Sorry, bet you never thought you'd get stuck with a hell hound, huh?
[ who would want to? Kai seems so-- so nice. sure, selkies can be cruel and violent creatures as well, but there was an air to him that implied he was usually at least a kind being. so very unlike Ros.
ah yeah, the ring. Ros blinks at it, automatically reaching out to pick the ring box and eye the band inside. it was-- well it looked fragile and beautiful.] You want-- I mean, you're sure you want to? I really don't think I am husband material, I am sure if you asked Don he could break this...
[ wait, no. this--]
Not that I want to! I am just-- saying. I'm not, well you remember what I'm like. I'm still bound to the underworld, that will always be my number one. [ he thinks, he doesn't know. this between them might change that. might shift that focus and possessiveness onto the selkie and wouldn't that be one fucking disaster after another. he was ruthless when he needed to be.] I like-- I like the ring though.
[ Shadows flicked underneath Kai's skin, solidify what he already knew to be true - the universe had accepted the bond between them and wanted to settle it deep. The very galaxies would rise and fall between them and forge something new and unexpected. A new beginning and one without any true ending because of the awakening immortality the bond caused for them. But Kai supposed immortality already existed for Ros and his ties to the underworld. A hound; of all the options in all the galaxy, one of the darkest found a way to his side. Did it speak of his own darkness? Did it scream to life on his veins? Gazing at Ros now, he wondered. He questioned so many things.
For the most part, he listened and nodded, shaking his head a few times to give Ros a chance to work through the surprise and figure out his conclusion. Would it be the one best for both of them or what the ground and sea desired most? The rivalry would continue no matter what happened between them, though. ]
He can't break it or you'd die. If you die, I'd end up dying from a broken heart. There isn't a way to break this. You're - you already feel it, don't you? Sea in your veins. The scent of the ocean washing over you. [ Kai moved a little closer, reaching out for Ros' cheek. ] I think you might be better than you realise but we'll both have a lot to figure out.
[ Grabbing for his own ring, he slid it on his finger. ] I understand the underworld being what is most important. I don't mind being second or third.
[ there is a creeping thing beneath his skin, beside the sea salt and the feeling of rising waves, Ros can feel it if he concentrates, but he does not linger on it long. he knows only vaguely about the bonds, about the things that now bind them together in ways he has never even thought to consider, never thought there would be another being that would seek out something like this with him. Ros carries no delusion of what he is, what he is capable of, and it is not something many find appealing. and yet-- yet Kai does not seem disturbed by this.
does not seem disturbed by Ros.
it makes the hound smile despite it all. there is still confusion, something that tastes a little like sorrow against the back of his tongue but-- Ros is more okay with this than he thought he might be. perhaps there is a part of him that craved this, a partner, even if he would never had sought one out on his own.
when Kai speaks, Ros listens. leans into the touch without a second thought even as he snorts a little.]
I don't think so, but-- I won't have you dying of a broken heart. [ or at all. that is lingering in the sharpness of his gaze, the way he takes in the lines of Kai's face, the way he slides on a matching ring.
perhaps Kai will not be second. hounds are possessive and defensive creatures by nature, it would not be strange if Ros shifted that focus to Kai, even when the underworld called. it depended, of course, on many things but-- well, there was nothing about the selkie that made him think he would be anything less than wonderful (and fuck, what fates were toying with the poor prince in this he wondered, what fates would he rend to shreds for sticking this beautiful creature with him).]
...not third, perhaps just... on par with the underworld? I mean-- I was-- I am in existence only to protect and serve, right? I don't know anything beyond that. [ a shift, Ros leaning in closer again. seeking out without even realizing it. ] Wait, you don't have to like... abdicate or some shit because of this do you?
[ he really does not want Kai to lose anything because of this. because of him. ]
[ The brightest possible smile took over his face, scrunching his eyes up and everything because the words obviously meant Ros cared. More than he ever expected for his husband to be, especially considering how most acted in the water, often so entitled and would treat him like a prize to be won and only flashed around when it suited them most. With Ros, he might have a chance for happiness and for actual love. The kind few valued when it came to bonding and matches, almost entirely made for political reasons.
Who knew what all might happen with their union given their sections were often at odds and war with one another. The underground, sea and air never really bonded very well and there were always battles taking place.
Nodding his head as Ros talked, he tried to remember all the information he knew about the underworld and of hellhounds. Ros being the top one and leader of them all. ]
I want us to be equals. You won't be just uh serving me or anything....
[ How awkward could one person really be? ]
Oh. What. No. I won't but this might be an interesting situation to figure out. You're bound to the underworld and I'm to take over the sea one day. We'll have to see how it will work and how others will take to this news.
[ Curling his arms around Ros, he let out a breath. ] Do you feel the need to be close to me now?
[ ohshit, Ros is in so much trouble. that smile makes something in his preen, something in him want to sit up and say 'I did that, I made him smile like that' and do it again and again. he has never-- has never really wanted to make someone happy like that before. keeping them safe, yes, but happy? that was a concept that Ros didn't often deal with. especially in those kind of sense.
as Kai talks though, Ros finds himself leaning in closer, finds himself trying to seek out touch.more of it. finds himself flushing warm and pleased when Kai says they will be equals.
that was better than he could ever have hoped. ]
No, maybe I won't be, but-- I will want to. That's what I am. And I think-- I think you would be worth that. [ worth protecting, worth serving. ] We are going to have to talk to Don and Adder and-- fuck, I don't even want to think about what kind of mess this is going to be.
[ he is giving up on being subtle, please don't mind the hound hiding his face in your shoulder. whoops.]
[ Likely, they would have a bit of issues with the rivlary between the underworld and the sea but neither could do anything at the end of it all unless they wanted both Kai and Ros to die. Selkie bonds were as old as the sea itself and they would be bound as one until the last droplet dried up.
The closeness settled something churning up in his bones and he enjoyed it greatly, beginning to run his hand up and down Ros' back. The hound a solid weight he never knew he needed until right then. ]
Tell me when you start to feel the water. I'll have to ground you so you don't drown in it. You're not of the water and it can be overwhelming because of that.
[ His lips pressed against Ros' hair. ]
You'll want me even closer soon. That's the bond awakening. We might have to wait to tell everyone after that. I'm not sure how uhh possessive you might be.
[ there will be some that will try to use this against Ros, against Adder. will say that they should break it off and let the hound die, sacrifice Kai for that blow to the underworld he knows. but Ros has already made up his mind to fight for it, not really sure why. perhaps it is the bond, the need to protect what his being is now seeing as his.
Kai is his.
the hound hums at the contact, pushes closer still because it feels good, feels normal and safe and amazing and--]
Drown? [ ohshit. Ros manages to look a little sheepish now, flickering his gaze up to Kai.] Um I-- Don't know if it matters at all but I can't-- um, I can't swim?[ never really had to learn. oops?] Is there anything else that I might have to know about? I mean, aside from drowning, pretty sure it won't kill me though. And, um, possessive. Right. I am--
[ very possessive. incredibly terrible horribly possessive. there is a low whine then, Ros sighing a little as he tries to lean back to look at Kai.] I am very possessive. Like, um, that might-- it might piss you off. A lot. Unless you like that? I can try to keep it under control if you don't...
[ Bonds were still fairly new to him and he still needed to figure out plenty about them. When it all came down to it, he never believed he would ever have someone who wanted him in such a complete and consuming way. Selkie bonds were nothing to mess around with, after all, and were one of the strongest and oldest ones around.
Carding his fingers through Ros' hair, he started to bite at his lip from the confessing. Not being able to swim or handle water at all might be difficult. ]
When the bond clicks in fully, I'll likely feel shadows from you and you'll experience water from me. The water will rush through you and if I don't ground you, you'll start coughing it up and it'll uh manifest around you.
[ Not at all what dreams are made of. ]
I -- don't think I'll mind the possessive. It'll be nice ....being wanted. Needed. I'm not....I've never had that.
I don't want you to have to hold anything back from me at all.
Coughing up water? Fuck what-- what will the shadows do to you?
[ how can I help you? that is really more important to him than anything else, eve in the face of him potentially coughing up water and drowning, Ros still wants to make sure that this beautiful creature, Kai, is safe from whatever harm might befall him. still, he is content to stay tangled up with the other, small and quiet noises as the selkie cards his fingers through his hair.
this is the nicest feeling that he has had in a long while. if ever.]
Don't hold back, huh? [ a smile that is amused and sharp at that. ] Okay, but remember that you said that and-- you can always tell me to fuck off if you need space. [ he can be a bit much sometimes, possessive and overbearing, intense in both good and bad ways and, considering how he already feels about Kai after but a few moments, he is a little worried about what he might be like by the end of the day.]
And whomever was stupid enough to not want you -- well, their loss. You're amazing, I know it.
[ What will the shadows do? He really wish he knew but someone of the sea and of the ground had never bonded before. They were kind of unique and unprecedented, which while nice left a lot of troubling questions all the same. ]
I'm guessing we will see....what do shadows usually do for you?
[ The movement of his hand never ceased, Kai pressing a little closer because he wanted more of w connection and a bond. The sparks and warmth were so nice. ]
I still want you to be completely open with me and yourself. Whatever form, attitude or whatever that takes. You shouldn't be afraid of what you feel and what you experience, especially not with your husband.
[ Seemed like an easy thing for him. ]
Thank you...that's so sweet...I can tell you're amazing too.
[ it is difficult for Ros to protect Kai against things that neither of them understand at all. that neither of them know about. water seems so easy to deal with in comparison to the void that is the darkness. there is so much hidden in it, and Ros-- well Ros doesn't know. the question makes him pause though, even as he leans a little more into the touch.
what do the shadows do for him.]
The shadows are home for me. Comfort, concealment. Movement too. I don't know? Shadows are constant.
[ it is becoming more difficult to think really, especially when Kai stayed so close, kept touching him and being there and-- reassuring him. Ros isn't used to that, not like this. not with an easy acceptance. but maybe it is only because Kai doesn't know what Ros can be like, he has never seen Ros with fangs and claws and blood red eyes. he hopes that nothing changes but he isn't so niave to think it won't.
the hound curls in, finds himself dragging his nose along the line of Kai's jaw, neck, not thinking of how his lips follow after easily. ] I will be honest with you always. Promise.
[ and he means that, completely.]
I'm not-- I don't think amazing is the right word for it but I will try for you.
[ a pause while he wraps righter, the contact soothing something in him.] What do you feel? I mean, do you... is it like this?
[ Home. Concealment. Protector. The words swept through his mind and he gave a few nods of his head since it made a lot of sense. The water meant something similar to him and gave him a greater strength than anything else possibly could, except their bond. They would need time with it,of course, to understand all the aspects of it. Hopefully, they were able to remain steady.
A few gasps rang through the air from the attention, something very new and unfamiliar. Now nice and something he wanted to try and return.
Tendrils of desire curled through him from the attention. Pings of lust he knew the bond would strengthen. Selkie were alluring and all of it would heighten given the chance to. ]
Huh? [ He began, dazed eyes looking up as one hand ceased the caress he had started on Ros' thigh. ] How I feel right now? Or how things usually feel? Or.....
