A Proper First Date

“You came!” The Flamebearer was rather easy to spot as he approached the small cafe. Waiting for him was Phovos, with a bottle of water and two glasses. “Of course I came,” Retvik blinked as he sat down. “Did you think I would not come?” Phovos hesitated, then shrugged, pouring some water for Retvik. “I … Read more

Disrupted Bed Session

“Dear, stop, stop…” Teekay was having the time of his life. It had been a while since he and Elkay had made out, and was enjoying licking Elkay’s neck, one of his few sensitive stops. “Teekay, stop.” Doing as he was told, Teekay stopped licking then looked up. “Why, what’s going on… Oh.” Teekat finally … Read more

Thinking of Visiting

“I should go and see Rethais…” Phovos glanced to her side, where her new best friend Retvik was standing. They had been relaxing on a balcony, looking out into the vast darkness. Even though they had been chatting on and off, Retvik’s statement had caught Phovos off guard. “Your brother?” “Sibling, brother, same thing, I … Read more

The Same Discussions

“Hello, are you busy right now?” Phovos glanced at her little communicator, then sighed. She had just finished her work and was too tired to really do anything. “No. Kinda. Dunno.” Another message appeared. “Are you well?” “No.” “Oh. Do you want to talk?” Phovos sighed some more, re-reading the messages that Retvik had sent … Read more

A Little Stargazing

“Hey, Retvik, can I ask a question?” The Raptor and the Rethan glanced at each other as they stared out into the night sky. At the Kinigi Life Oasis, it was always technically night time, but many of the lights were dimmed during off-hours, making everything seem more peaceful. As for Phovos and Retvik, it … Read more

Pansexual Asks

“Hey, uh, Retvik?” “Mhm?” “Can I ask you something?” Retvik shrugged, turning his attention away from the stars glimmering in the distance. After Tenuk and Elksia headed home for some fun, it was now just Retvik and Phovos left in the otherwise empty bar. “What is bothering you?” Retvik asked. “Is something wrong?” Phovos sighed … Read more

Unusual Offer

“Oh, uh… hi Retvik.” Phovos had been minding her own business, gazing out into the darkness. She was supposed to be changing shifts soon, but for some reason, her boss had dragged everyone else into a meeting, so Phovos had the guard balconies to herself. That was, until a rather fiery Rethavok appeared. “Hello, Phovos, … Read more

A Brief Visit

“R-Retvik?” Tenuk stumbled over his words and thoughts as the flame-cloaked mountain of a Rethavok slowly approached. He knew who he was looking at, but was so surprised that Tenuk couldn’t think of anything to say. Thankfully, Elksia took the initiative and stampeded towards the fire god, with not even a hint of hesitation. “RETVIK … Read more

Holiday Approval

“You want a holiday?” “No, I want paid vacation time for me and my fellow guardians, which we can take as and when we need it.” Tenuk closed his eyes, mentally recapping the speech he had just given to Kinisis. He had outlined how remaining in one place was detrimental to one’s health, how doing … Read more

Team Approval

“Alright, you’re all probably wondering why we’re all sitting around this table.” Tahvra raised his hand, but his hand was only just visible above the table. He’d meant to have raised his chair before this meeting started, but didn’t have time to do so. “Is it because we don’t have a proper meeting room?” Tahnahos … Read more
