☽ the waterfall

-trots to the waterfall in my wolf form, four excited pups following after me. I end up carrying the youngest by his scruff as I guide the others to the base of the waterfall. Making sure to be slow and not push them, watching as they curiously sniff around-
‘Alright. Everyone needs to stay close okay? If you go into the water so does mommy.’
-they all bark softly in unison and I set Seungmin down so he can look around, watches all boys as they play around. I get into the water once I see the boys trying to swim. I help them move around, my ears twitching-

/comes here again after three weeks from the last time I visited him, looking at the bouquet of white lilies in my hand, walking through the grasses; eventually arriving at the base of the falls/
/stares at the stone before I place the bouquet down nicely on the stone near the waterfall, smiles a little/
Hey, Junho. Still remember me?
/sits down beside the flower and looks at the waterfall/
I think Junsu came here three weeks ago, right? He came to see me too...
/smiles a little bit/
At least we could meet him even for a short moment, don't you think so Junho?
/sighs a little and touches the stone lightly/
I can't stay here longer and talk a little bit more with you. I'll come back and visit you again. Bye bye...
/stands up and I leave this place, heading back to the resident/

/comes here again since it is been a while I didn't come and visit him, looking at the bouquet of white lilies in my hand, walking through the grasses; eventually arriving at the base of the falls/
/stares at the stone before I place the bouquet down nicely on the stone near the waterfall, smiles a little/
Hey, Junho. I came here again for Junsu. How are you there? I'm sorry that Junsu is not coming to visit you once again. You must be missing him too, right?
/sighs before I look at the water that is falling down/
I wonder where is he now...Is he fine? Is he eating well? Is he getting enough rest or not? All those questions are keep coming, yet I don't have any answer to that...I can't reach him, J-Junho...
/my voice cracks a little and my eyes becoming watery too/
What should I do, hmm? I want to look for him but I don't know where to start...I missed him so badly, Junho...I missed your twin...
/wipes away the single tear that is falling down, smiles slightly/
Ah, I'm sorry. I will come again and visit you next time. Good bye...
/sighs softly and turns around, leaving the waterfall/

@Jihoon Choi - The Seer (β) A beauty I’ve never seen before.
-starts helping you picking some of the flowers, setting them into the ziplock bag. Watches how you dig up the whole plant. Humming I nod-
You have a green thumb. I know you’ll be able to replicate the environment for it.

@Jongin Kim (Ω) They are, aren't they?
*smiling gently, getting to work picking the flowers and easing them into a large ziplock bag, setting it aside after some time to dig up a while plant and sealing that one in a bag of its own*
I hope it takes to the greenhouse. I've been working on a section the replicate the waterfall best I can manage so with luck, it'll bloom and reproduce.

@Jihoon Choi - The Seer (β) -following you close before eating my sandwich, humming quietly. I eye the flowers with awe, finishing up my sandwich so I can help you-
They’re so pretty mama.
I’ll gladly help with storing some
-pecks your cheek-

@Jongin Kim (Ω) *walking down to the bank of the river, pointing at the red, orange and yellow gradient flowers that are blooming close to the water*
That's them right there. I have some packs we can store them in but I also want to take a whole plant with the roots to see if I can cultivate it in the green house.
You know me, Nini. I love my children more than anything

@Jihoon Choi - The Seer (β) -carefully stands, holding my sandwich in one hand and I nod, my cheeks slightly puffed out-
Mhm?
-smiles warmly-
You’ve blessed me with a family and happiness. Loving mother of mine. Thank you.

@Jongin Kim (Ω) *blinking as you insist on coming with me, laughing quietly and nodding softly*
Come on then. Bring your food with you if you want. You only need one hand to eat.
And Jongin? I'm glad that you're a part of my life.

@Jihoon Choi - The Seer (β) Hehe thanks mama. You’re the best. Thank you for accepting me as your son.
-blushes at the kiss, I continue eating, not even halfway through my sandwich. Watching as you get up, I start panicking for a moment-
L-let me go with you.

@Jongin Kim (Ω) You know I love you lots too my darling.
*smiling more, kissing the crown of your head, finishing my sandwich and getting up after a moment, stretching in full glory without clothes before looking around with a hum*
Finish your food, I can see the flowers I need on the bank. I can pick them and then be back.

@Jihoon Choi - The Seer (β) Mhm.
Sounds like the best mama and son bonding time. Our bond is already strong but this will make us closer and stronger.
-takes small bites, not wanting to devour it and risk a stomachache. my lips slowly, taking another bite-
Mama?
-nuzzles you-
Love you lots okay? Don’t forget it.

@Jongin Kim (Ω) We will get that appetite back, and you and I can both do things together to help build your confidence again. Would that be fun?
*petting at your hair while I keep eating my sandwich, feeling entirely warm and happy that you are becoming your normal self*

@Jihoon Choi - The Seer (β) Oh my goodness that sounds wonderful. Letting the boys play together and let them learn about one another. Ohhh I love your teas.
-nuzzles your hand, my ears turning a bright red as you laugh-
Thank you mama.
I bet with your cooking. I’ll get my appetite back.

@Jongin Kim (Ω) Yes. Yes we will. And I'm excited for that. We can have a play date with the boys, and we can have some tea like old times.
*stroking your cheek softly, laughing as you react to the taste, my head shaking*
Don't say sorry! You eat and enjoy those sammies, my sweet.

@Jihoon Choi - The Seer (β) It’s not a great feeling.
-chuckles softly, humming happily when you play with my hair. Looking at you with wide eyes-
But you’re here now.
And we will catch up.
-nods, cuddling in close I take a sandwich. my lips I unwrap the sandwich, taking a small bite-
-moans softly at the taste-
I’m sorry-
It just tastes amazing

@Jongin Kim (Ω) Mmh yeah I know that feeling.
*laughing softly, playing with your hair*
I can't believe I was gone so long. It was a mistake of mine.
*reluctant to take my hands off you so I can pass out sandwiches to you from my bag, unwrapping my own and biting into it, glad for the warm day that makes it nice to sit up high and appreciate the scene*

@Jihoon Choi - The Seer (β) “Thank you mama. I just still feel this way. I feel fat all over.~”
-huffs happily when your fingers brush through my fur, soon enough I shift and I nuzzle your hand happily-
Mhm.
I’m glad to be here with you mama.

@Jongin Kim (Ω) Don't be silly- you look perfect to me Nini.
*scowling softly at you, brushing your warm fur before smiling when you shift, instead caressing fingers through your hair warmly*
Let's eat then. Then we can go look for the blooms and head back.
I'm glad for moments like this.. Thank you for helping me not break entirely.

@Jihoon Choi - The Seer (β) “After having three pups.. I gained a lot of weight. I wanted to work out but I didn’t want to. Hah this was a good work out. My muscles are aching.”
-stretches out my body even more I shift, cuddling up to you, nodding my head-
Starving.
-pecks your cheek, looks around, mostly in awe at how pretty this place is-
I could do this..
Go on a family picnic with you and our boys. Of course making sure they don’t wander off. I love spending time with you.
-smiles-

@Jongin Kim (Ω) "You're telling me! It's been so long since I last came up here, I forgot how complex but satisfying. A say a short rest before we find the flowers."
*taking a moment to sit and shift forms, tugging off the pack I brought and pulling out a few sandwich rolls, glancing to you with a smile*
Hungry? They re ham and cheese.

@Jihoon Choi - The Seer (β) -my tail wags happily and I keep watching every stone I use to climb up, making sure to keep myself focused and alert at all times-
-once I’m at the top I yip happily, pouncing around carefully before nuzzling you-
“That was a workout~”

@Jongin Kim (Ω) "Thank you darling,"
*saying sincerely, keeping my eyes firmly on the wet stones, working with care each time I go up higher and higher, finally clearing the edges and clambering up to the top of the falls with a happy yip, turning to make sure you're close by*
"We made it!"

@Jihoon Choi - The Seer (β) “I’ll make sure to keep you warm in case we have to sleep up there. It’s been a while since I’ve been outdoors. Usually stayed in.”
-huffs happily and I continue following you, keeping my focus on the rocks I’m placing my paws on. Takes each step with delicacy, digging my claws into the rocks-

@Jongin Kim (Ω) "I was worried you might say that- perhaps we should go up faster. Worst case I suppose is we sleep up there tonight."
*brushing against you affectionately before leading the way back to the trail, working my way up carefully with frequent pauses to make sure you're following me still*

@Jihoon Choi - The Seer (β) -huffs in a cute manner before carefully standing back up, I stretch my body out. Nodding my head as I get ready to follow you-
“I’m ready mama. Let’s go I don’t want to waste light when coming down. I’m quite clumsy especially when climbing down things.”

@Jongin Kim (Ω) [] sjhsdnf

*letting you nibble as you please, shivering softly with delight at the sweet affection before eventually getting up on all fours with a soft breath out, knowing we have to finish climbing the falls*
"I wouldn't want any of the pups up here without supervision. Too nervous to leave them to their own devices here. Come now darling, I think we need to continue on before it gets dark. Going down is harder than getting up."

@Jihoon Choi - The Seer (β) {{ ;;3;; }}

-whines softly only to playfully nibble on your maw then your ear, pulling away I try envisioning what we could do to improve the way of living here. Envisions the platforms and I nod-
‘I wouldn’t allow my brothers to even come up here unsupervised. Rivers can be scary..’

@Jongin Kim (Ω) () ahahahahahaahhahaa I died-

"I can't help it when you make it cute and easy to tease you, darling. But, you seem lighter already, and that's what matters to me."
*flicking my tail playfully to swat at your bum before I nod to you words, looking around the area thoughtfully*
"Maybe not stairs all the way to the top, because really the experience of the climb is character building. But maybe to some of the larger platforms facing the falls? I'm not sure if I'd want the pups right to the top because of the danger of the river. It's too fast to be caught in and the other side of the bank is quite a leap."

@Jihoon Choi - The Seer (β) {} :c

“Mama! D-don’t tease me~”
-whines softly, mostly sounds coming out like huffs before I gently nibble on your shoulder. Growling in content, looking around I feel the difference in air quality. Crispier. Cleaner. I inhale the fresh air and I nod.-
“I would love to bring Meeracle and Micah to come here.. I feel like this way is essential for pups to learn but I understand the dangers as well. Maybe there’s someone that can build stairs.?”
