Each Day's a Gift and Not a Given Right

Kaida smiled thinly. "See, you're not as bad at this being a mother thing as you think," she said, then leaned forward to plant a kiss upon Coryth's lips. After all, they were so lovely and looked extremely kisseable. Verily, it would be a crime not to lap attention on them. For the record, the frost elf adamently refused to refer to Coryth as being a 'little redheaded angel' or think of her that way. That sort of corny romantic talk was left to Kerrigan. Kaida was a lot more down-to-earth. It was in this moment that Coryth's coom beeped again due to it having received Elpsis' transmission.

 

[Coryth Elaris]

One more message came through her datapad before Coryth sighed most heavily and scooted next to Kaida, as she leaned her head against the icy woman's shoulder. Anything for a little love and companionship in that moment. Just be good Elpsis. I don't want to see you hurt, or ... worse. That thought did worry her, that she'd be called to find the girl in a morgue one day. Not surprised you saw me on the telly, just surprised you pay attention to such things. And yes, that blonde has more than a crush on me, I really care for the woman, not that you need to know. But yes. See you, darling. Please, be careful for me.

"Maybe not, but the whole thing terrifies me more than I can say." She shook her head slowly, "Never planned on kids, and here I am with one that may or may not want a thing to do with me. No clue how it's all going to turn out, but I care for her Kaida greatly. She's family. And speaking of family there is another matter I'd like to bring up as well." She said softly as her thoughts drifted to her goddaughter Galina.

The short stack of fire was truly adorable! Feeling the little redhead lean her head against her shoulder, Kaida wrapped an arm around the firemane and planted a kiss on her forehead. The icy woman was not particularly good at pep talk or being romantic. At least not when it came to fancy words. Offering comfort through action was more her thing.


It took a few moments before Elpsis responded to them. Maybe the redhead was wondering what to say in response since Coryth was coming at her with her mummy guns blazing. "Yes, mum. I'll be careful. I did survive for years on my own, y'know! Ok...you're being real sweet. Hmm. Elf woman has big tits. I guess I know now where I got my tastes from. But isn't she, like, ancient and stuff? Anyway, gotta go. Have fun!"


Kaida raised an eyebrow when the message came in and looked a bit like indignant. "Ancient? By the standards of my species I'm extremely young. I am not even a century old," she said with a huff. Apparently that was a good topic to get her riled up about! Being about twice the age of Coryth was extremely young from her perspective. She shook her head and muttered something in Eldarai. "Anyway, what family matter did you want to bring up?"

 

[Coryth Elaris]

Coryth managed a soft smile as Kaida pressed her lips against her forehead and sighed softly. Then the message came in and Cory couldn't help it as her skin flushed a bright crimson.

"She's good at embarrassing me, you know..." She muttered before hearing what Kaida had to say. "I think you're just sexy and beautiful, dear." Spoken as she gently leaned up to nuzzle the Eldorai's nose most tenderly.

"Well you know Galina Kerrigan-Alcori? And before you protest, the redhead is my goddaughter. It's my duty to look out for her, help her and protect her how I can." Coryth sighed, hating to ask. "She's a cryomancer like you, and honestly Kaida, she needs help. Too scared of her talents and far too timid. The girl is going to get someone hurt if she doesn't get someone who can actually help her hone those gifts. I can't help her, or I would. I haven't the slightest clue how to do what you do, much less teach her to deal with it." She sighed again, "And I hate to ask.... I do, but I don't know of anyone else who can help her with this but you."

Kaida was not...thrilled about the sudden change in topic. Truth be told, she had little desire to provide training and could not stand a certain Countess Kerrigan, who happened to be one of Galina's adoptive mothers. Why is this my problem again? she wondered to herself and felt eager to point out that she was not Galina's family. Besides, if the girl needed help the 'High Countess' could ask her herself. On the other hand Coryth was asking and an untrained cryomancer could be very dangerous. Sometimes being Lawful Neutral was a real queen.


"I take you're asking yourself and Kerrigan did not put you up to this?" Kaida asked, feeling just a bit suspicious. The way she spoke 'Kerrigan' made the name appear as something vile and disgusting. "I suppose she's too proud for that. You're aware that I'm not a teacher type. I don't coddle people, no matter who their mummies are and how much money they have," she added, brow furrowed. "Is this an order, Exarch?" she suddenly asked in what came close to a husky.

 

[Coryth Elaris]

Coryth shook her head, sighing again. "No, Kerrigan did not ask me to do this. And if she had I'd have told her to do it herself. So, no it's not her asking. It's me." She said firmly. "I have to look out for Galina, too. It's part of what I signed on for when I accepted the role of Godmother."

A soft nod followed, "I know. I suspect you might be just what the girl needs. Galina's been through hell. A past I think you could respect. The girl survived eight years alone, without a hand to hold. Without a soul to help her here on Kaeshana, on an arctic island in the north. Before that, a child soldier. Anyone else I know would have given up and died by now, but somehow she survived. Still, she needs a firm hand now to help her. The last thing she needs is someone to coddle her. That'd be disrespectful to her past, and what she's gone through." Coryth gave a small shrug and grew quiet for a moment considering Kaida's last words. "I'd rather not. But I just as easily can Kaida. Consider it a favor, to me." She said softly, rather submissively at that. "And I'd owe you.... a thing or two, or six." A playful wink followed, hinting at just what she was willing to do for said favor.

Well, if Coryth presented things like that! The frost elf did like it when the firemane showed her submissive side. Tempest had filled her in about Galina's past. Or rather given her a broad overview, though not a complete picture. So Kaiada's response was simple. "Alright, I'll do it. You know that standard Angelii cryomancy training includes encasing a recruit in an ice block and then expecting her to get out on her own?" she asked rhetorically. Maybe Angelii did not get training from hell, but it was close. This writer might be a tad influenced by Full Metal Jacket. Then Coryth would feel a brush of very cold breath against her neck before Kaida's frosty lips suddenly kissed her. "I have a long weekend upcoming. You'll be my slave during it."

 

[Coryth Elaris]

The redhead frowned a little, for a moment if this tough love kind of approach was really what the young firestack needed. In her heart she knew it was the right thing. The young girl had, had it too easy since she'd escaped the island. Not that the kind of break wasn't undeserved. Galina had needed it, but now it was time to come back down to earth as it were. "I know, it's not easy my darlin'.I'd not expect you to coddle or be kind to her just because of her mother, I actually expect you to be harder on her for it. However, I think she does need that kind of hard training. She's had too easy a life since she was rescued and it's time for her to come back down to what reality really is like. And life sure as hell isn't a cakewalk. I think she needs to be reminded how hard it really can be, and how much her powers can make or break her." Coryth said quietly, mostly thinking out loud.

A bright grin then formed upon her lips, "Then the entire weekend, I am yours. At your beck and call. I'll even wear the blue collar with the bell just for you. That is unless you'd prefer me force nullified for the weekend." She said with a playful wink, happy to trust Kaida either way, but especially by giving up her force powers for the woman she was beginning to truly love.

In a way Kaida's training methods were not that different from Sio's. The main difference was that while Siobhan put you through your paces, she was nice about it, whereas Kaida was a queen all the time. Moreover, Galina was Siobhan's daughter, so even though she was not the coddling type the Countess probably had her limits. This obviously did not apply to Kaida. She gave Coryth a nod. A good portion of Angelii training consisted of breaking a recruit and building her back up again. Angelii came from all walks of life, so this was deemed necessary in order to get them to function as a unit and overcome class issues, given how stratified Eldorai society was.


"I like the collar with the bell, but I think I find the idea of you being nullified for the weekend even more appealing. Then you can do nothing to hide your lusty thoughts," Kaida smiled evilly before pulling Coryth into a deep kiss. "Maybe we can ask Tempest to come over and join us." Suggesting a threesome was quite unusual for Kaida. While she was not exactly 'keeping herself pure' for Coryth, she did not sleep around much, but she was quite fond of the Dahomian.

 

[Coryth Elaris]

Coryth personally believed the harsher Angelii style training would do Galina some good. The young girl needed to learn quickly that life wasn't going to be handed to her on a silver platter simply because she had a rough light so far. Not only that but getting her way, was rarely going to happen and it was about time someone showed her that.

Coryth smiled at the comment about the collar with the bell, then grew a little more serious. The force nullification, while she was a willing participant, was always a bit frightening for her. Not to mention the transition was always rough on her, and took her a couple minutes to gain her bearings without the force. It also meant that she felt everything and so did the woman she cared so deeply for. Not a single thought could be hidden, nor a single feeling. It was all out there in the open. Before she could voice a thought, she found herself pulled into a deep passionate kiss. Without missing a beat, she wrapped her arms around the Eldorai and pulled her tighter to her to deepen the intimacy.

A soft smile formed on her lips, but there was a slight hint of worry in her eyes. "I'm willing to have Tempest along, just without the force it's hard to absorb so many feelings. So she'll have to be gentle with her feelings at first until I can adjust, otherwise it might get rather painful for me to handle at first. Just makes me a little nervous. But, if you can work with me on that, maybe have to relent on the the nullifier while she is around if I can't take it, my mistress."

Though not the most empathic person in the world Kaida did see the slight hint of worry in Coryth's eyes. It gave her pause. She was not in love with the redhead and at this stage at least was not looking for that, but she did care about her a lot. Ergo Coryth being comfortable with what they did was important to her. After all, their games did demand a lot of trust. So she pulled the tiny firemane closer. "Sure, no problem. Whatever makes you comfortable. I don't want to pressure you into anything, dear," she said honestly and then planted a kiss on Coryth's forehead.

 

[Coryth Elaris]

Coryth smiled, feeling a little less anxious about the future prospective fun times with Tempest. "I appreciate it. Just don't want things to be awkward or painful for anyone. Just want to make sure its fun for all of us." Admittedly, Cory wasn't in love either, but she sure as hell cared a great deal for Kaida and truly enjoyed having her in her life.

Siobhan would have probably said something corny along the lines of 'I'd never hurt you...unless in ways you want me to' but Kaida was more straight-laced and usually felt awkward when 'flrting'. Never mind the fact that Sio's were as corny as a maize field. "I know, dear. So do I. I can talk to Tempest before we do anything and then we can go from there."


She ran a hand through Coryth's hair. Unlike the Countess Kaida was a good deal less obsessed with redheads, but even so she thought the firemane was very beautiful. "Come to think of it, why don't I show you a good time right now? Help you destress a bit." Ok, maybe she did occasionally like corny lines after all. Regardless she pulled the little redhead into a kiss.

 

[Coryth Elaris]

Coryth nodded, "That would make me feel a little better. You know I can be quite shy when it comes to stuff like this. Especially when a new person is involved that hasn't seen me without clothes on before. I'm still a little self conscious about the scars. I know, I shouldn't be but I can't help it." Not everyone in the galaxy had been totally accepting of those brutal marks of torture, which always made Coryth a little nervous to reveal them to another person, always fearing the worst.

"Mmmm, I'd like that." Coryth purred as Kaida pulled her into a kiss. Wrapping her arms around her Mistress, Coryth deepened the kiss as she ran her hands through the Eldorai's gorgeous locks. She dropped a hand down to the woman's back, tracing soft circles across Kaida's skin.

And so our two lovebirds went to bed and...well, stuff happened! Sorry, kiddos, but we cannot tell you the details because it mgiht corrupt your innocent minds. But have no fear, we will have plenty of scenes for you featuring senseless violence that should be totally kiddie-friendly.


The sun would go down and then rise again as a new day dawned. One they would start together. Time would tell where their path would lead them. But in the meantime Coryth had a frost elf girlfriend to enjoy. Assuredly her ice-cold touch would be most appreciated.
