Venture to the South
Frost 16th, 124th Year, A.o.S.
Confidence clicked in the heel of her boots as Auntie Hannah strode down the hall of the familial home, her direction aimed toward the office where she suspected Rickter and Telion to be. Donned in her roguish attire the brunette had already donned much of the leather gear she preferred, although, she undoubtedly had questions to ask Rickter in regards to their upcoming trip. After all, enough time had passed and he'd received word from Hilana that the Vigil had found a preferable location at last. This meant he'd be returning back to Atraxia fairly soon, and with it being Frost now where his power seemed to resonate the strongest; it was likely the best time to get down there and carry out the second duty his other half had been charged with back in Arx Rubrum Petram.
Of course, his family naturally wanted to come along but the desert was no place for children. So, after a bit of a family discussion between the two, Hannah had elected to accompany Rickter since she was the better Traverser. It gave them the means of warping there later whenever the rest of the details were worked out, but in the meantime, assured the family he'd loved that he'd have more than just one means of returning home safely. Not that would be an issue...
The real issue apparently was that Hannah hadn't any idea what she needed to wear, or even pack considering she had no idea how long she'd be gone. Rickter, or rather Lykos, had already given assertions to the fact they'd be well taken care of, since he had already been looked after quite well at the citadel before. Thus she decided to give a moment to pester the wolf himself, only to slow her gait so that as she drew closer to the office doorway, she could tread quieter with her approach and listen in. After all, she did enjoy peeping in on Rickter and Telion's conversations from time to time. Except...
"Why? Why do you do this to me?" The wolf muttered lowly almost with a flustered tone but Telion sounded playful, the remark eliciting a chuckle from her in the quiet of the office. One of the staff of the house silently walked down the hall, passing by Hannah with an expression that looked both appalled and amused with the brunette. "You do realize anyone can walk in at any moment, right?"
"Shush," Telion clearly remarked in hushed whispers, "better pretend nothing's going on then, huh?"
"But Teli-" He started to softly protest before Hannah heard his voice crack, a short sigh escaping his lips soon after as he could only chuckle after the fact.
Wow Teli, the rogue thought to herself, get you some you dirty whore! The brunette smiled big as she pondered whether to give them their privacy, but then also remembered the reason she'd come to find them in the first place. Thus, with a steadiness of her posture she leaned from the wall, mimicked a few leg pumps to pretend she was walking, and then proceeded to knock on the door before sliding the panel open.
Almost immediately, Rickter's shoulders had stiffened and reactively his legs jolted a bit, bumping the interior of the desk as he somewhat straightened in his chair. "Oh, Hannah, what's- uh, what do you need?" He greeted her as he watched with near-wide eyes, clearly taken aback by her entry, but also clearly distracted by what was going on beneath the desk in turn.
"Hey," she started before trying to hide a chuckle, "so we never covered what all I need to bring along for the trip." The brunette's eyes watched Rickter as he timidly drummed a few fingers at the edge of his desk, his attention fixated completely on her as he felt the need to clear his throat.
"O-Oh. Oh yeah!" He started and for a moment Hannah nearly giggled, wondering what part of that was Telion's doing. "Yeah, sorry, I'd forgotten to elaborate after the light clothing bit. Which..." The wolf noticed with a glint of amusement, enough to part his lips in a partial grin, to say the least. "Leather's gonna feel real hot and sticky down there, I'd suggest just a simple layer of clothing. As for gear... Rickter leaned back into his chair with his eyes shot to the ceiling, and for a moment, he felt the need to bite his lower lip as the concentration on thinking bit seemed challenged.
"Shouldn't need more than just basic essentials, couple of weapons if you prefer but that-" He paused before awkwardly chuckling in response, "that should about do it."
Amused by trying not to cackle her ass off, Hannah raised an eyebrow while smiling toward the wolf in return. "You okay big guy?"
Rickter nodded anxiously toward her, determined to sell the gesture even if his eyes weren't so convincing. "Yeah! I'm... Great. I'm just great." He continued as the rogue straightened from resting her shoulder on the doorway.
"Kay, I'll find something lighter to wear." She started with a twist for the hall, but not before looking at the base of the desk where one could see Rickter's boots and the frills of a light blue dress between them. "Keep up the good work, Teli!" Hannah called out nonchalantly as she slid the panel door to a close, the click of her heels leading Rickter to believe that the woman had actually returned to her chambers for the time being.
The wolf could still only shake his head as chuckles came from beneath his desk, the wolf leaning further back into his chair to gaze down at his beloved and the atrocious torture she'd subjected him to. "You're being very naughty right now..." He mused with a vivid grin shared with her, the mother playfully smirking up to him as her hands still explored his inner thighs close to home.
"Shut up, you know you like it." Telion retorted as Rickter brought his hands down to cup her face gently.
"You know Hilana and Athalia are on their way right? I need to finish getting ready for-" Yet Telion did not relent from her disposition, eliciting another soft moan once Rickter felt the moist warmth envelop the one bone his favorite beta had to indulge. Clearly, she was in a mood that needed tending to, and while the wolf himself felt a little pressed for time, a few extra minutes in the office alone with her wasn't going to harm anyone.
After their little deviation in the office had transpired, Rickter took to their private chambers with Telion accompanying him, this time to legitimately help finish his preparations instead of distracting him with other things. The wolf often shot her a playful glare in response to what happened, but from the way she carried herself, Telion was quite proud of the work she had done on him. Regardless of the fact, the wolf made sure he had only the essentials taken for this trip, the featherlight bag which he knew was filled with the camping gear already, plus the other items that he may or may not end up using for this venture.
He had quite a feat to pull off but honestly, Rickter hadn't the slightest idea how he'd go about accomplishing it. Gradually introducing ecological changes into a different biome was never on his bucket list, but from what Lykos told and talked through with him so far, it seemed somewhat approachable with the usage of his Negation and with the power of his domain in tandem. So, after donning only the silken garb Lykos had returned from Solunarium with, the wolf and his partner did not take much longer to return to the common room where Hannah already sat waiting.
"Do you both feel better?" The brunette remarked with a raise of her eyebrow, warranting a proud smirk from Telion as she barely even looked over to her beloved.
"Much actually." She gave a subtle nod to Rickter as she resisted another laugh. "He does too, even though he wouldn't admit it."
"I've never been so proud of you." Hannah casually applauded with slow soft claps of her hands, causing Rickter's cheeks to flush vividly as he sighed exasperatedly.
"I hate you both right now..." He regarded as the women in the room broke into laughter, his eyes directed to the door of the foyer as he wondered if their guests were arriving soon. Any moment now would be great, since they'd save him from further embarrassment.
