She nodded, looking over towards the right, ”I do like the sound of a view of the beach. Let’s go that way, figure out how this place is laid out, and then go from there?” She paused, pondering, ”I cannot imagine finding much of what we need at the main strip shops.” She suddenly brightened, grinning somewhat wickedly, ”Besides, I’ve heard of all sorts of concoctions that could help me out on this trip~”

Her tiredness suddenly fading away, she took his arm in hers and began striding forward down the path, only managing a few steps before slowing and bending over somewhat, slightly out of breath, ”Okay… Maybe you’re on to something dear… Perhaps heavy exertion isn’t the best plan.” She looked up, a smile still fixed on her face, ”At least I’m not feeling sick to my stomach yet!”

Unfortunately for Rhaq'a, 'concoction' could mean just about anything. Optimistically, it was something to aid with her healing duties. Pessimistically, it was probably some sort of date-rape drug. Though she has yet to stoop so low, it's not entirely out of the cards. "Yes I'm... sure we'll both find something to help in our respective fields. There are a few herbs that are difficult to come by in Eorzea that I am hoping may be acquired here... I've yet to have any luck however."

Upon seeing his mate doubled over, he rushed to her side, offering himself to use as a support. "There looks to be some manner of overhang by the beach. Would you like to rest there?"

Her hand waved, flapping in the air next to her, ”No no no, I’m fine, I’m… Well… Perhaps so, yes.” She chuckled miserably, ”I think I may have been a bit too early declaring that I wasn’t feeling sick yet.” She was suddenly regretting half of her dinner being Dango, but she’d never let Rhaq’a know that. She’d never hear the end of it. She could only play the It was a random craving! card so many times.

She held onto his arm, making her way with him to the beach. Some salt air should help her feel better. If not, at least it was pretty and romantic! Besides, she always found it sweet when Rhaq’a voluntarily stopped work for a few moments to dote on her. She did the same for him, but it was always nice when it flowed both ways. She wasn’t accustomed to being doted on, but Rhaq’a had definitely taught her to love it!

Shaking his head, he let out a disappointed groan, "You needn't try to push yourself so hard... I am aware of your situation, there is no reason to deny it, nor hide it." Helping the woman take a seat on the edge of the wooden deck, he then carefully took a seat next to her. Looking behind him, he spoke, "It would appear there is a mat for resting there, too. If you would prefer to lay down?"

Letting out a sigh, his gaze fell upon the ocean. "Have you been feeling tired a lot recently? It is about that time... I should have prepared something for you. There is an herb that they may sell here... when you are feeling better we should search for that first."

Settling herself on the edge of the deck, she dangled her legs over the side, the tips of her boots trailing in the sand. She looked towards him, rolling her eyes, ”I would certainly hope that you’re aware of my situation; you’re the one that got me pregnant!” Glancing over at the mat, she gave a small shrug, ”Perhaps, but only if you’re cuddling me. Barring that, those herbs sound good…”

Leaning back, she flopped on her back on the wooden deck, closing her eyes. She wished the world would stop spinning so much. It was making it difficult to concentrate. The spells of sickness had been getting more frequent over the last several weeks, but she’d tried to keep it down. A dinner of Dango and noodles followed by plenty of rocking boat apparently wasn’t a winning combination. Her eyes still firmly closed, she sighed through her nose, ”I think some strong tea would help. I think. I guarantee nothing at this point.” A small smile crossed her lips.

As she called him out, he averted his gaze, letting out a sigh, "You... know what I meant." Sulking, he put his chin into his hands. At her somewhat forward invitation, he shook his head, but responded favorable, "If you prefer. Regardless, you will be needing those herbs. The situation will not be improving anytime soon."

Considering her suggestion, he muttered softly to himself before looking her in the eyes, "There should be tea in the main marketplace. If you do not mind being alone for a few minutes I could bring some back?"

A small groan and a shaking head met his words, ”Tea would be lovely. I can cope for a few.” She rolled her head, opening her eyes a crack, ”Thank you, dearest.” She dug in a pocket, pulling out and tossing over her coin purse. ”Please, get something for yourself too. You do too much for me.” Refusing to hear any objections he may pose, she rolled over, giving a small groan.

As he wandered off, her mind wandered as well. She smiled, knowing exactly how lucky she was to have him. Someone that actually cared about her as a person. Someone that she could confide in. They’d both helped each other escape the oppression of their families, so that worked well. Even if she occasionally wanted more than he was willing to offer in certain areas, she still loved him to death. He was a wonderful man. She rolled back on her back, stretching out her limbs. She hoped Rahq’a would return soon, at least sooner than her dinner was threatening to return.

Luckily for both of them, the tea shop wasn't busy in the slightest, and he had a piping hot cup for her to enjoy. Taking a seat next to his clearly miserable mate, he offered the fragrant liquid to her, as well as a riceball. He had a small package of riceballs for them to share, and he was quietly gnawing on one. Pausing his bite he smiled at her, "These are for you too, take as many as you'd like. It should settle your stomach."

Looking to the ocean, the man let out a soft sigh, "We should enjoy the peace while it lasts. You may not be feeling well, but... I am here for you." Ears flattening against his head, the man's gaze averted, "Has your mother mentioned anything as far as plans for the child?"

A groan escaped her lips, and it had nothing to do with her dizziness. She gingerly sat up, taking the tea in her hands, sipping slowly. After a few silent sips, she shook her head. ”No, not a word. I… I may not have told them yet. I want to tell her that she may expect another grandchild soon, but…” Her eyes opened slowly, looking out over the water, ”I don’t know. Something keeps stopping me. I know she would love nothing more than to care for and raise my child, and that she would do a wonderful job, but…”

She looked over towards Rhaq’a, glancing down to the half-eaten rice ball in his hand. She reached out, gently plucked it from him, and began nibbling it. ”I’ve been debating having the talk with her. That I would like to raise my child. Last I saw Hari, she was doing well; she’s 11 summers old now. But nonetheless, I would love the chance to try my hand at being a proper mother.” She looked up at him, a small smile on her face, ”Besides. Wouldn’t want her ending up like me, would we?”

Though he had suspected as much, it was reassuring to hear it from her lips. Truthfully, he had been thinking much the same, though raising a child on their own would prove difficult. Finally, after a few moments of consideration he responded, hand near his chin, "I see... well, Hyur often raise their own children, so it is not unheard of. Nor impossible.

Ears against the back of his head, he let out a sigh, "I have been doing research, and... well, it will be both time consuming and... expensive. One of us will need to be at home at all times, which... I could work out of my home, if necessary..."

After a few moments, he continued, "But... I do agree with you. This cycle needs to be broken. We... I suppose should be the ones to do so. We are both happy with our lot in life, it would be fitting."

The words of her mate mingled with the thoughts in her mind. She looked up from her tea, eying him over the rim of the mug. A small smile formed on her lips. ”I suppose that nothing is impossible, is it dearest? Two Miqo’te, woman and man, raising a child together.” She chuckled to herself, setting down the mug, “I’m glad that my mother cannot hear us. Seven hells, I’m glad your mother cannot hear us!”

As he spoke, her smile grew, ”I never knew that you’d given this so much thought already. I mean, I suppose I shouldn’t be. But I still am! You never cease to amaze me, dearest!” She chuckled, ”I doubt Gil would be an issue; I have more than you may know saved up. And I don’t know if you actually read the letters I give you about your money that I manage, but you’re doing quite well as well. And I have always been looking for an excuse to keep you closer to home anyway!”

She scooted closer to Rhaq’a, popping the last bit of the rice ball into her mouth and chewing thoughtfully. ”I never thought that I would find someone that agreed with me. I’ve never been more glad to have been wrong.” She leaned her head on his shoulder, ”I love you. Let’s love our child. Let’s raise her to be odd, like us.”

Ears flattening when she mentioned their mothers, he groaned, "Yeah... at... best we will be disowned. That I would not mind. I am more concerned that one of them... likely my mother would call the Shikaree hounds and... living at the bottom of the sea is sounding more appealing by the minute."

Flushing at the compliment, he attempted to respond, but instead fumbled over his words, "Yes... well..." Scratching the back of his head, he averted his gaze before replying, "I... suppose we both do make a fair bit." Running his fingers through his hair, he clutched at it nervously at her side remark, "If I remain close to take care of the child... we... more than likely will not have alone time. You... realize this... yes?"

With his face more furiously red than before, he hung his head, "Yes...well... I... was never happy with my situation. You know this. Whatever gender our child may be... I do not want them to have to live with that pressure."

Biting her lip and giving it a thoughtful chew, she nodded up at him, ”Is it now? Perhaps you’re right. After all, I’d assume that the Shikaree aren’t terribly adept at swimming.” She let out a long sigh.

”I suppose that all the Gil in the world won’t help us much if we’re on the run from everyone, will it?” She scooted over, laying her head in his lap as she spoke, reaching up to gently stroke his arm, ”Of course we won’t. But we will be together. Even if our child is there, it’s fine.” She gazed upward, a small smile on her lips. ”Well, luckily for you, that situation is a thing of the past. I didn’t mind mine as much as you did yours, though I never had this level of fulfillment from it. Our child will grow to be whatever they wish to be. Nothing more, nothing less, nothing forced upon them.” She stretched, her arms going back and wrapping themselves around his waist, ”Now! I’m feeling notably less like vomiting. Would you care to continue our walk, or ponder a future we cannot hope to comprehend?”

A small smile tugged at the feliine's lips, "I do not believe they are skilled at swimming in the slightest. Afterall, what self-respecting Miqo'te would hide out at the bottom of the sea?"

Ears flattening against his head, he let out a sigh in response to her next remark. "No... well. Perhaps? We simply would need to employ guards more skilled than the Shikaree..." Shaking his head, he conceded, "There must be some other option..."

Picking himself up, Rhaq'a nodded to his mate, finishing the last of his food. "Yes, that may be for the best. Well, we can only do the best for our child, and... hope it is for the best."

Sitting up, Rhy let out a small groan, ”Failing anything else, I could always just stand at my front door and scream at them to get out of my home. They respect women. At least, well, I hope they do? I know they don’t respect men. That’s kind of their thing.” Straightening herself, she let out a sigh. ”I’m not even showing yet and it’s already getting uncomfortable to sit up. Ah well. Mother always said that it got easier after the third child. Suppose I’ve still got one to go.”

She got to her feet, looking out over the water, then towards the town, “Goodness it’s beautiful here. Shall we explore more, then?”

He hadn't even considered that. Rhy was correct. The likely would listen to her. "You... may be correct. With one offspring, they would be less likely to... harass me."

Averting his gaze awkwardly, he nodded, "I can't imagine how uncomfortable that must be for you. I am sorry, if there is anything at all that I can do... please, you need only to ask."

A small smile crossed his lips as he nodded, "Yes. I shall follow you? You have a better nose for this than I do."

As a smile crossed her lips, she thought to herself that she’d be terribly disappointed if she didn’t have heavy smile creases in her face after a few years of living with Rhaq’a. ”And if they try to, they’ll have me to answer to. Living proof that you’re fulfilling your duties after all. Seven Hells, they should reward you for taking on such a hopeless case.” Her ears fell back slightly, then perked up once more, ”Worked out well in the end, didn’t it?”

She waved away his offer, “I appreciate the offer, but I can still manage; I’ll take you up on that in a few months though, and make sure you regret the offer!” She ended on a very bright note, nodding to him, “I have a better nose for trouble, you mean. At least it’s often productive trouble.” With that, she took his arm in hers and began leading him back towards the walkway through the residential area.

"I... don't think that's how it works, but, perhaps I am wrong." Smiling at his mate, the man then averted his gaze, "Still... I hope you are right. Maybe I'm overthinking this."

Worried about his mate's 'threat', he averted his gaze, choosing to ignore it. Perhaps she'll forget his offer afterall.

Nodding, the man smiled, "Yes, you certainly do. Well, perhaps you'll locate something useful this time?"

A pout came over her face as she huffed at her mate, ”Excuse me sir, I’ll have you know that I always find something useful. Even if it isn’t always in the strictest sense. Everything is useful to someone, somewhere.” She reached up, bopping him on the nose with an outstretched finger, ”Bad boy.” She immediate clutched his arm, wrapping her arms around it and holding it tight. ”But my bad boy!”

As they strode through Shirogane, she stopped occasionally at various shops. At first it was mostly sampling desserts, but then the shops started getting increasingly esoteric. She stopped at one small shop, browsing their herbal remedies. Waving her mate over, she picked up a pinch of some herbs, ”I’ve never seen some of these before…” Giving it a tentative sniff, she retched, dropping it back in the bin, ”Eurgh! By the Twelve, I’d hope that’s curative. It’ll put someone out of their misery either way.”

A sigh of relief escaped the Miqo'te's lips as they finally were getting into the sort of shops he had hoped to find. Herbs were certainly a start, and he began to sift through them, sniffing them lightly in an attempt to discern their properties. At least, until he heard his mate complaining.

Beaming, the man pulled out the stinky herb, "Ah! Kudzu root. Sometimes they are attacked by a certain bacteria that causes that stench. You simply need to boil them." Waving down the nearby shopkeep, he indicated that he wanted the herb his mate was disgusted by. "This should help alleviate your pain."
