    Jaikus couldn’t help the way that his mind briefly lingered on the topic - even after Emryc seemed inclined to drop it. He knew it wasn’t going to be an easy conversation with his daughter, and the Axxilan could only hope that she would see reason in the situation. The Axxilan leaned back...

    “No, they aren’t.” Jaikus said after a momentary pause - his fingers continuously kneading into the musculature of Emryc’s shoulders. “But your legacy is all that Jayna had cared about for nearly a decade. The Axxilan wouldn’t believe that Jayna would merely ignore what was happening, regardless...

    Jaikus said nothing when Emryc suggested that Jayna learn her own lessons, silently chewing a piece of fruit. The Axxilan had always advocated for intervention - to guide and prevent their children from falling flat on their faces. The thought of allowing Jayna to be taken as stance of, their...

    Hours might’ve passed, but Jaikus had quite literally zero intention of moving from where he laid. The Axxilan was satisfied and spent from their lovemaking beneath the falls, manifesting in the way that he instinctively curled against Emryc. It wasn’t until the half-Sephi removed himself that...

    Unsurprisingly, Jaikus has little to offer about EzTech - knowing that his son would remain stubborn about doing things on his own. Instead.. It was the following string of questions - and the response it drew from his son - that seemed to capture the Axxilan’s attention. The sound of chopping...

    Even as they passed beneath the waterfall, Jaikus allowed his gaze to linger on Emryc - emeralds glinting with a desire that was unmistakable. It had been entirely too long since they’d had a moment together, and the decades hadn’t diminished the passion that burned between them. They were older...

    Despite the heaviness of the conversation, Jaikus was all-too-eager to transition to their familial tradition. It had been ages since they’d had ‘Dolma and Game Night’, but the vibrancy behind those emerald eyes was clear as a sunny day. Speaking to his enthusiasm and desire to have a positive...

    From a distance, Jaikus couldn’t help the devious smirk that spread across his expression - lips tugging wide, while those emerald eyes danced with amusement. Retaliation was swift, and the Axxilan took great pleasure in watching the gouts of water that splashed upwards to completely drench his...

    Jaikus stared right back at Emryc - regarding the half-Sephi with a blank, unamused expression upon being told ‘yes’. It was a rhetorical question that Emryc just had to answer. Over two decades together meant that the pair understood each other better than any other, and it meant he was far...

    If nothing else, Jaikus was pleased with the small bit of information that he had gotten out of the woman - making a mental note of the mountainside ruins of alleged importance. However, that was a hike that likely would take all day and Jaikus wasn’t about to volunteer for hiking. He was...

    Jaikus couldn’t help but exhale deeply - feeling a great deal of weight that rose off his chest. Nearly two decades has been spent keeping their past hidden, and the last year had strained the Axxilan emotionally in ways that only his husband would ever understand. He felt the pressure of both...

    Jaikus only glanced towards Emryc in passing - but that was all the Axxilan needed. He didn’t miss the crossed arm and distant expression, those fluted ears twitching the faintest degree. He already knew that his husband was losing his patience for the ruins and the woman who allegedly protected...

    Jaikus tilted his head to the side - staring back at his husband with eyes of emerald green. That smirk tugged sideways across his expression, just as it had since the very day they’d met. “And you happen to adore me for it, baby.” He said, tracing his fingers across the defined edge of Emryc’s...

    There was a long pause that followed Ezra’s question - though it was abundantly clear that he’d heard what was said. Those vibrant emerald never broke away from his son, even as a hand quietly shifted over to rest against Emryc’s own. His fingers intertwined and squeezed the larger digits...

    Jaikus was silent for a long moment - allowing Emryc to speak before he did. The simple reality was that the Axxilan fully agreed with the position that his husband took, despite the Sith teachings that had been engrained since birth. Successful government would never last with religious sects...
