<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0000ff">She listened carefully, her expression mostly blank, even while her fingers continued dancing about his skin just in case Celeste came back. With the mostly innocent behavior, Celeste wouldn't be too worried, but it wouldn't be too far out of her normal behavior. But as he fought his own rage and desire, she heard a lot of things he didn't say out loud that made her happy. Squirming a little to frustrate him because it was in her nature, she leaned up and kissed him softly when he was done. "Fair enough. You're a good man, Kael."<br/>
<br/>
Turning, so she wouldn't be a distraction, at least not in the same way, he wasn't touching her at least...well, it was something different, even if it gave a pleasant view of her entire front torso as she leaned back and thought. It was interesting to note that the soft down between her legs was a nice shade of blue. Natural then. She crossed her arms beneath her breasts and stared off into space, this was not a pleasant problem to deal with at all. She'd heard about a body switching incident a while back. Something to do with Ra'kar's host body and being pregnant, but she didn't think it was the same thing.<br/>
<br/>
"Damnit all...she looks just how she used to in prep school. Down to that damned dimple in her knee..." she muttered, trying to get over her own fit of desire. She shoved a hand back through a few of the bangs in her hair and gripped the hairs tightly. She was truly bisexual, there was no way to prefer one over the other with Tellus.<br/>
<br/>
"Okay, let me see if I have this straight...she somehow has the body she had 6 years ago. No tattoo or even signs of a tattoo removal..." she pointed down to her own hip where a single tiger lily rested. It was tiny compared to the others on her body. "We all got tattoos at the same time, me, Mei Lee and Cel..." but she continued, trying to get her train of thought back. "She's pregnant, but doesn't know it, and you don't know how to ----" she turned her head at the sound of Celeste retching. "...tell her, she's hurting herself by puking her guts up, and no one knows how to fix anything...."Another turn of her head back to Rayner. <br/>
<br/>
"Does she at least remember Danielle, if she's had her memories messed with? Sometimes something painful is the easiest thing to let slip away when your mind gets played with." Tellus knew that one from experience, though it wasn't something she'd like to admit to.<br/>
<br/>
"And what exactly are your intentions. Obviously the relationship is new since I didn't hear anything out about it till I walked in the door...but she's carrying your child. And she is deeply religious. The ONLY reason you two have even managed to get into bed without a wedding ring is that her grandmother is very french and insisted on marriage preparatory school, and that Gaia is a very...eye opening community. She's had exactly ONE other partner. Danielle's father, Charles. If her memories are damaged to the point of where she doesn't remember him or Danielle...and all they went through to even be able to have Danielle and for Celeste to keep the company..." She looked Rayner straight in the eyes, the very expression severe enough that the magic running through his body would wilt his manhood temporarily.<br/>
<br/>
"It almost killed her. I wish I could say it was a figure of speech, but she lives to make other people happy. If she thinks you're miserable, she's miserable until she fixes it. Mei Lee and I have known she's been in love with you for a while now...but we can't even get her to admit it because she seems to think that it would drive you away if you thought that she was trying to cling to you." Finally, she turned away.<br/>
<br/>
"We found her out by Barton Square. Other than her stomach, she was completely wasted away, and an attempt on her life had induced the labor. She gave birth by herself, in the middle of the night, with a shotgun hole in her arm, rather than calling for help. We only found her because someone had been smart enough to call the police and they discovered her. Charles had long disappeared, apparently to protect her we later found out. But I was going through some grief with a now ex...and Mei Lee was dealing with...family issues. Not only that, her company had threatened to remove her from the board if she didn't give the child up like she'd agreed when they thought she was only being a surrogate mother." Sigh, and another explanation was needed there. Damnit, where was Celeste? Oh, right, still puking her guts up.<br/>
<br/>
"The surrogacy thing was a cover story, so they wouldn't get upset about her having a kid out of wedlock. Mormons HATE it. It's like the number one sin for them...no, I take that back, masturbation is." She waved a hand around, "Don't ask, I have no idea. But thankfully, Mistress Won...that's Mei Lee's mother, helped her get over that for the most part. But...yeah...I'm sorry, this is probably way too much information...I'm just worried." And with her peace said, she curled back up and turned over, using his presence for a bit of emotional support. The three girls were very close, despite their different lifestyles.<br/>
