Raylin weakly held onto her. Weakness...bodily weakness...a sign some but not all women of his race got when pregnant. He closed his eyes and was surprised she carried him like he weighed nothing. He felt like he weighed over a ton. Opening his eyes as he saw the room. The rubbing of the womb was making baby feel better. He didn't feel such confusion in his mind as he had before. "That makes baby happy..." He said softly. Looking at her and blushed. "Please...I don't want to be alone. I'm so used to having Azrial to snuggle with." He said softly. He touched the womb. "Baby isn't in such emotional turmoil now. Between me and Azrial baby was causing such confusion in my head." He said softly. He listened as she spoke. "He is?" He asked softly. Biting his lower lip. Listening as she spoke. "Okay. I'll be happy that Azrial is still him even if he looks different. Happy that he isn't feeling sad and in pain internally. It made me sad whenever he was sad." He said softly. Curling up against Jen. Laying his head against her stomach or a chest and falling asleep.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Ricardo looked at Brace. He smelled like Azrial with some differences. He listened as the guy spoke. "Eh..." He said. Nodding his head. He wasn't a big conversationalist at times. He was more into showing than telling. "Jen said to let you take him in. I could've done it but wasn't my place." He said. He absentmindedly nuzzled Caylen's hair. He loved his sweet scent. He looked at him. "I'm Ricardo. Bodyguard to Prince Raylin and best friend of my liege. I have stepped down some since Azrial came into his life." He left out the part where they had to fight before it got to that pointed." He nodded. "Explains the similarities in scents." He said. He stood up pulling Caylen up gently. "Room down the hall from Raylin's." He said simply. He could see Caylen was exhausted. Since he didn't have to carry Azrial in because Brace had it he scooped up the exhausted Caylen. Carrying him bridal style through the halls. Pushing open the door that was cracked. He then looked at Brace. "This is where we part for now." His tone never leaving serious as he walked away and took Caylen to his room. "Stay with me at night?" He asked softly. Shifting Caylen enough to open the bedroom door. Kicking it shut and crawled up into his bed den and laid Caylen on the bed. Laying next to Caylen and held him close. Nothing else just cuddling his new mate close.</span><br/><br/>Day 1:<br/><br/>Raylin had slep peacefully the night before. He hugged Jen. "You didn't have to rub there all night. Thank you but you didn't have to." He said softly. He was hungry but didn't want to ask her for such a thing. He followed her out of the den. Looking at her and smiled. "Sure. I'll show you around and stuff." He said. Taking her hand after washing in the hot springs. He helped her wash there too. Then got dressed in a pink soft dress that flowed with his form. He then took her by the hand. "Okay." He didn't get the giving of milk thing yet. He showed her around the castle. she must've put on a dress too as soon as they left the room. He showed her to the kitchen. "Our food comes from the food gardens, or meat that has been raised for eating purposes only, eggs gathered from chickens." He explained. Getting her food and himself and began eating.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Ricardo showed Caylen around. Spending as much time as he could with Caylen. Showing him around and taking him to the training grounds when he needed to train. He did things that Caylen showed interest in doing. Played the piano for caylen. Something nobody knew he could do. Not even Raylin as far as he knew. He hunted and brought back big meals for Caylen. Sharing whatever they didn't eat with the castle to cook up and serve for the people inside it. He knew that King Fadin would be back from his meeting at the country over. He had flown and told him of Raylin's status and what was going on. Coming back and looking flat out exhausted. So exhausted he fell asleep sprawled across a long stone bench in the flower garden. Had slept there until Caylen woke him up and guided him back to the room.</span><br/><br/>Day 2:<br/><br/>Raylin had picked out one of his mother's dresses and shown it to Jen. He asked her to try it on. If she liked it then she could have it for times when they were not in the bedrooms. He giggled as they had finished bathing not even an hour ahead of time. He giggled. "You look beautiful in one of mother's dresses. You can have it for times when you need to wear one." He said with a smile. It looked better on her than it would have on him. He smiled a bit. Giggling as she didn't like the dress even if it was beautiful on her. Blushing as Brace removed the dress. He blinked and nodded his head. "Okay." He said softly. "Its fine." He said with a warm smile. Not wanting to be the cause of Brace having discomfort. He blinked and nodded his head. He missed Azrial being near. He closed his eyes and felt discomfort from the shell. He hoped that it would be all broken soon but Azrial said htere was still another couple months before shell would be all gone. He whimpered a bit. Looking at Brace. "Can you help with the shell." He said. Rubbing his room to make what he said make more sense.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Ricardo had encountered Jen the night before. She had said she needed to talk to him soon. He didn't know why. He nuzzled his cheek against Caylen's before getting up. Bathing and dressed himself in pants and a loose shirt. Grabbing his sword and headed towards the training grounds. He took off his shirt. Tossing it onto a bench. Wearing the sword on his hip. He went over to a trunk in the tree and pulled out his armor leggings. Putting them on along with some weights. He would slow himself down to speed himself up. He then began to kick. His leg spinning out to the side. He swung his fist once his leg ended. Spiral kicking and spinning like a top. Throwing in further punch and kicks. He was going to wait until Caylen found him or Jen did. Since Jen said she wanted to talk to him soon. Not that he was looking forward to it.</span><br/><br/>Day 3:<br/><br/>Raylin woke to screaming. Whimpering as it had starteled him. He didn't want to know what was being said right then. "Okay." He said. Getting up and quickly bathed then dressed. He put on a skirt with a floral blouse. Waiting until Jen was ready and led her out of the castle. Heading towards the market. People bowed, smiled, and waved at them. He said hello to everyone and it was clear that Raylin was very loved by his people. He held Jen's hand like they were sisters and pointed out various things. Stopping by a kid who called out. Kneeling down and looked at him. "What is it?" He asked softly. The little boy holding up a rag doll type thing and looking at Jen. Saying something too soft to be heard. He smiled and took it. Patting the youth on the head. "Thank you. I'm sure she'll love it." He said. The boy smiled and ran off. He held out the rag doll type thing to Jen. "He wanted the dragon lady to have his prized possession for her baby when she has one." He handed it over to Jen. "He said he could smell you were a dragon. I think he is the wolf lady who runs the inns kid." He explained.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Ricardo felt the tight ball snuggling against his torso like was done every night into the next day. It was cute. The guy nommed things lightly while he was asleep. It amused him and made him smile. He gently pried Caylen from nomming on his own arm. Moving him so the guy could nom on his arm. Worried that Caylen might nom his arm sore. He stroked Caylen's hair and just laid beside him. He heard the screaming ever so faintly. The arm now being nommed on was also wrapped around Caylen. Holding onto the small of his mate's back lightly. He rubbed there lightly. Closing his eyes again and just rested there. It was nice to snuggle every now and then. Even if he wouldn't ever verbally admit such a thing.</span><br/><br/>Fourth day:<br/><br/>Raylin slept fitfully one night. Having a nightmare about something he couldn't fully remember. Waking early the next day and lay there thinking before he fell back asleep. He yelped as he heard the door slam open. He blinked blurry eyes as the den became destroyed. Letting out a soft sound and mumble as he was woken up. He curled into Azrial and nuzzled him. Still asleep. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes. "I'm okay. You all better now?" He asked softly. Snuggling into Azrial's new form. It was still warm. Possibly warmer and he wanted to fall back asleep against him. "Baby is fine." He said. Yawning cutely and wrapped his arms around Azrial. He opened his eyes again and forgot the last questions. "You look different. It suits you though..." He said sleepily. Mostly recognizing Azrial by his voice. "you look very different." He said softly.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Ricardo rubbed Caylen's arms as he slept. He heard door slamming and chuckled in amusement. "Seems Azrial's up." He said softly. Holding Caylen close to him while the other male slept. His arm lightly being nommed on. He thought it so damn cute. He lay his head on Caylen's. Not sure how much longer the other male would sleep. He rubbed the guys lower back. Closing his eyes again and just rested. This was interesting. He was enjoying the other males presence. He was going to be sad if Caylen left with Jen in a few days. He wanted the guy to stay here...with him. Greedy selfish desire but its what he wanted.</span>
