"The situation seems to be volatile enough that quite a few would grasp the slightest excuse and use it as a reason, my brother included."
She clenched her jaw and then continued, rather than being cryptic.
"Your dad senses something along the horizon. Not sure what, specifically, but I'll say the same thing I told him. A war between our races would generate rifts. Whether between you and me or a rift or two in your family...and I'd rather that not come to pass, for the moment. If it happens, I'd just prefer it didn't stem from this...but...unless some really stupid stuff happens, your dad doesn't mind us, at least."

Okara seemed to freeze.
"My father? What? When did you talk to him?"
He'd address the other stuff after a moment or two.

"Sorry, did you not hear me when I said your dad likes me well enough last page a few minutes ago or were you just so eager to stop me from attacking you it kinda breezed through?"
An eyebrow seemed to liiiiiiiiift.
"After the first round but before the second."
Asshole damn near ripped her leg off, too.

He would frown.
"Guess so."
He would fold his arms.
"I hate to sound like a broken record but, once again I have to ask- why do we care? Why is it that we have to sacrifice for others? For someone or something else? What happens after everything blows over? Our getting together suddenly becomes accepted by everyone because we're in play nice mode?"
He stared at her.
"No matter the time or place, we'll always be seen negatively. So why not be there for each other and just...ride the wave now?"

"It's not entirely for others, I guess. It's also for me. You say we're both Royals but my house isn't...really that high. Noble, yes, but not quite enough stature for a rank above it...and we're probably close to rebuilding it. Get mad at me if you want, for that reason. I understand but, we'd plummet to nothing if it was found out we were..."
She sighed.
"Old habits die hard."

He would look back to her and stare, staying silent for a long time.
"Then we'll do what my aunt and uncle did."

Oh fuck--wait he knew that story?
Aisuko sat still and stared.
Go ahead and suggest she be the slave, Okara. Go on. She's totally game for that.

He would stand up and stick his hands in his pockets.
"My mother told me the story, when I was a kid. I found holograms of them....she was his slave for many years before anyone found out, and they were only discovered because they weren't diligent enough. We won't make the mistake."
He'd take a deep breath.
"We'll fight, in public, and for the rights to ownership. A fight I will convincingly lose."

She didn't know how they were caught, of course. That part didn't come up. Aisuko breathed out through her nose, still not comfortable with this idea any more than when the topic had been broached before.
"Why are you so willing to do this, other than wanting to make it official?"
She shifted, slightly. It was really something of a squirm, just with a lot less movement.

"Why?"
He turned toward her, eyes incredulous.
"WHY?"
He couldn't help his aura from shifting a little.
"How thick are you, Aisuko? It's entirely for you- so I can have you and you me. That's why."
He shook his power down.
"Is that....not what you want anymore?"

She bristled at the surge and his incredulous tone and volume, then stared.
"It makes me uncomfortable, either way. Either me being the slave or you, I don't like it."
There. She said it.

He would furrow his brow, clenching a fist in front of him.
"Me too. But I don't like this even more. I hate it. I see my mother and father happy, others able to be and have what they want. I've gotten strong enough to conquer a world but....I still can't have you."
He's lower the fist.
"I'll make the sacrifice for you."

THE FUCK WAS DAHVEID DOING HERE.
To be fair, there was definitely a time she wouldn't have given two shits.
Blasted touchy-feely emotional bullshit.
Aisuko frowned...but for the moment, said nothing.

DAD WTF
Okara would remain silent, staring at her.

"THERE'S JUST NO WINNING."
Aisuko threw her hands up, frustrated. Couldn't really be with him without either sparking a war or shattering her house completely, didn't want to be a slave (which would do the latter, anyway), didn't want him to be a slave because pride.
Her tail gave a couple lashes from about halfway down the appendage.
FUCK. THIS. SHIT.
