Wander: [followed the soldier n soon was in front of the door of the private quarters] Thanks, I'll take it from here
Soldier: (nod)
(in the room)
Terry: (cradled Eliza close) :(
Wander: [knocked the door] Terry? It's me, Wander
Terry: :O Wand? (got up to answer the door)
Wander: (wave) Hi, Terry. Long time no see [grinned sheepishly at him]
Terry: Hey, it has been a while. Not the best time, though. :( With her out there. And my parents...
Wander: Yeah, I heard. Umm, can I come in?
Terry: (steps aside to let him in)
Wander: [sees the little baby Lizardran in his arms] Oh my grob, is tht Eliza? :)
Terry: :) Yes, that's her.
Eliza: (stares in interest at Wander) Ba~
Wander: Ooh she's so big n beautiful~ May I? [held out his arms]
Terry: (nod) (passes Eliza to Wander)
Wander: [takes Eliza, was a little taken aback by her size n weight] Oof, ur definitely a big girl now, sweetums [carries her up with a bit of a heave, her size is practically half the size of Wander himself]
Eliza: (giggle)
Terry: Need a little help?
Wander: Don't worry, I'm good~ [his knees were threatening to buckle] On second thought, maybe I should carry her sitting dwn ^^;;
Terry: (chuckle) You do that.
Wander: [struggled to walk towards the nearest couch n sat dwn, bouncing Eliza on his lap] There, much better. Well, if a nomad pup were to be nxt to u side by side, u could practically carry the pup like a little mini doll [tickled Eliza's chin]
Eliza: (giggled) ^^
Terry: :)
Wander: So... I heard ur parents joined forces with Drizelda. How did that happen? I mean, I heard from Hater they were supposed to come here to talk matters with Grimmy. Wat went wrong?
Terry: I guess they...don't approve of Grimm. :(
Wander: Wat happened? Weren't u there wen it happened?
Terry: Yes, I was, but my parents hearing about these news... :( I guess they... ;(
Wander: They didn't take it too well tht u went ahead n picked ur groom without them, huh?
Terry: That's right... ;(
Eliza: (saw Terry upset) :(?
Wander: :( Its OK, its OK [hands Eliza to Terry n then gave them both a group hug] Its OK, Terry. Evrything is gonna be OK. Grimm will settle this n everything will go bk to normal
Terry: ;( I hope so...
Wander: [hugged them tighter, rubbing his bk to calm him, hushing him]
Terry: (sniffled)
*knock knock knock*
Grimm: [peeks in] Hey, guys. U alright in there?
Terry: Gr-Grimmy? :(
Wander: Hey, Grimmy
Grimm: [sees them in each other's arms n Terry's eyes looking red n hears him sniffling] Terry? U OK? [enters n was by his side quickly] Wat's wrong? R u alright? Is Eliza alright?
Terry: She's fine, but...I'm just scared... :(
Grimm: [knew wat he meant n held him] I knw, I knw... I've been trying the best I can to convince ur parents to listen to reason n defect frm Drizelda, bt the last time I tried, they told me... tht... ur dead to them, n bcoz of ur betrayal to the family they want to remove evry trace of us, including u n Eliza... They want nothing to do with u... Those bastards... [frowning in disappointment n anger]
Terry: ;( Don't let them...
Grimm: I won't, bt I don't want to kill them either. They're ur family... :(
Wander: :( Wat exactly happened during ur meet with Terry's parents?
Grimm: Well, they came with all of Terry's fiances. Needless to say, they were pretty pissed tht Terry had chosen me. While he was here trying to win the courting ceremony, his other fiances had been getting into his parents' good graces n has been wooing them, n his parents were planning to make an exception n follow the ancient Lizardran tradition of polygamy n let Terry marry all of them, including me if he successfully wins the ceremony
Wander: Those fiances r actually willing to share? :^)
Terry: Not so much... cause he's not one of my species... :(
Wander: Bt one of those fiances I remember seeing in the photo is not one of u guys either
Grimm: Tht guy is the only one they're cool with, coz they got a bit of bromance going on |-(
Wander: Geez, I've heard of threesomes n foursomes, bt I can't imagine Terry having 5 husbands at once
Grimm: Anyways, Terry has already chosen me, n I wasn't abt to let Terry go n become those lowlife's fuckboy. My dad n I tried our best to talk things thru, to get them to see tht Terry is happy with me, n tht I as a royal can provide for him comfortably n care for him no problem, bt they care abt only wat THEY want, wat makes THEM happy, n they consider Terry choosing me ovr his own family an act of treason
Terry: Mhm, it's all true... :(
Wander: Oh geez... Then how did they end up joining forces with Drizelda?
Grimm: On the last day of their visit, they declared tht they hv disowned Terry n want nothing to do with him. It would've been fine n dandy if it were left like tht, bt Drizelda showed up on tht day in her royal army getup to issue an official war declaration, by chopping off one of my men's head n throwing it at my feet on the throne. Terry's parents witnessed the whole thing, n were angry tht I could've chosen such a "beautiful bride" instead of their "worthless son" n blamed me for not sending Terry home n not choosing Drizelda. Drizelda also played the victim, giving them some sob story abt Terry seducing me n all tht shit, n since they already hated Terry for his "treason" they decided disowning him wasn't enough. They wanted to destroy him, erase him out of existence. So they joined Drizelda >:C
Terry: ;( Mhm...
Wander: Geez, talk abt bummer luck
Grimm: Now I'm at a loss, wen the time comes n push comes to shove, I might be forced to kill them if they try anything on Terry... :( [held Terry close]
Terry: (hugged Grimm close) ;(
Eliza: (sensed her parents' sadness) :( Wah...
Grimm: Oh, oh, it's OK, Daddy's here, Daddy's here... [took her in his arms n nuzzled her]
Wander: :(...
Terry: Mommy's here too, sweetheart... :(
Wander: This... Makes me finding out abt Hater's cancer pale in comparison. I can't even imagine the thought of having to be forced to kill my folks... :(
Grimm: Oh, Hater told u abt his...
Wander: Yeah. We had a bit of a falling out after that, mostly coz of me shutting him out bt we're good now :$
Terry: That's good... :)
Grimm: So any chance u guys would, u know, tie the knot?
Wander: Not sure abt tht. I mean, he's on borrowed time, n I'm not too keen on being a widow...
Terry: Maybe not the best idea to be married if he's not going to be around much longer... Sorry it sounds harsh but that's just my thought.
Wander: Yeah, I know, tht crossed my mind too... I'm still trying to get used to the fact that he won't be ard much longer. I... I fell in love with him at first sight, n now that he has finally returned my love, it had to be in these circumstances... :(
Terry: :( I'm sure you'll think of something to still remember him by... (nuzzled Eliza)
Eliza: (giggle)
Wander: Yeah, in the meantime, we can keep ourselves occupied by helping u win this war
Grimm: If we can get thru the rejected candidates' armada first. They're the front liners for Drizelda while that bitch sits bk n enjoys the carnage show >:C
Terry: (nod)
Wander: We'll help u whenever we can. Like I always say: Never hurts to help :)
Terry: :) That'd be great.
