The Sentains bowed their heads slightly and wished Solare Sindri a good night. The desert dragon was then subjected to hugs, handshakes, well wishes, and a kiss on the cheek from Ansar. The Gallants left in pairs as orderly as they had entered, all except Kelius who mourned the loss of free time. Visionary Ansar couldn't even think about celebrating his free time, as he would have rather spent it by Kelius's side instead of only three rabbits.
As the couples bid each other a good night and disappeared into their rooms, Gallant Kelius suddenly righted himself and ran into his shared room. He came back out with two rabbits in one arm and their stacked beds in the other. "You two! You both owe me. Tonight, you babysit these two voyeurs!" He pleaded, bordering on desperation.
Sindri nearly jumped when Kelius call them out. He looked towards Gonuret. "I do owe Ansar. He's been watching my rabbit while I've been out on dates since I wasn't in until later in the evening." He explained.
Gonuret hesitantly took hold of the beds and raised an eyebrow at the rabbits as they were shoved into Sindri's arms. "I suppose we could have them sleep here for one night..."
But, Kelius didn't even stop to hear their response. As soon as the beds and rabbits were out of his hands, he grabbed Ansar's wrist and dashed into their room, slamming and locking the door behind them.
As Gonuret walked into their room behind Sindri, he carefully set the rabbit beds down. "Is it just me, or are those two rabbits supposed to represent people I know?"
When they got into the room, Sindri put the two rabbits on the bed for the time being. He would put them and their beds in the big cage later. "Good eye there. Ruthed and I picked them out on our date. We ended up picking bunny versions of everyone." He began with a smile. "Ruthed's rabbit is an Emyve look-alike, Kit is a Kelius look-alike, and Astral...well, he's yours." He finished with a blush. "To tell you the truth, I was a bit surprised that no one picked up on that when we came back with these guys."
"I do believe that a few pet rabbits weren't at the top of anyone's mind at the time," Gonuret admitted as he began to take off his jacket. "Though, to pick out Astral while on Ruthed's date…does that mean you were thinking of me?"
"Fair enough," Sindri said, petting Astral. He smiled a little as the small blush refused to rub off his face. "I don't think I realized it at the time really but, yeah. Honestly, I think I started to fall for you from the moment we met, but I wanted to make sure I made the right choice since some of the others were probably nervous." He watched as Kinky Kit made its way over towards Gonuret and laughed.
Gonuret shamelessly began to pet Kelius's look-alike. "If only his dragon counterpart was as laid back and friendly," He commented before reaching over to place a kiss on one of Sindri's blushing cheeks. "I started to fall for you from the moment we met, as well. I didn't regret scaling that mountain and nearly risking my life a single time. That first smile you gave me was more than worth it in my eyes."
The apricot dragon smiled as he was kissed and listened to the Lunare's words. The smile then turned a bit devious as he pulled the other down on the bed so they could lay together, making sure that the rabbits were out of the way. Sindri couldn't help but laugh when he saw how confused and flustered Gonuret became. "Sorry, I had to." He said, kissing his nose and lying next to him. He noticed the two rabbits watching him and shook his head. They were watching intently; it was as if they were just waiting for something to happen.
Gonuret's arm gently wrapped around Sindri's shoulders as they aligned themselves comfortably. He, too, noticed the rabbits and a soft sigh fell from his lips. "I see why Gallant Kelius was so adamant to keep them out of their room." He turned slightly to face his lifemate. "But, I don't mind." The Lunare kissed the blonde while his hands began to unbutton the Solare's jacket.
Sindri laughed at the very thought. Perhaps the rabbits needed something to make up for the fact they didn't have Kelius and Ansar to spy on. He kissed Gonuret back as he felt the jacket become loose. "Are we putting on a show, then?"
After he managed to get the jacket off, Gonuret pulled back to get a good look at his beloved. The crowns of the Solares each varied from one another. No two crowns were the same. Sindri's crown truly suited him. He reached out to carefully take it off his head and placed it on their nightstand along with his gauntlet. The sky blue dragon then began to calmly unbutton the blonde's blouse. He sent a sideways glance at the pets. "Sorry, but you will get nothing too naughty from us tonight." He told them. "What sort of Lunare would I be if I didn't make sure that the Solare was fully rested?" After that statement, Kinky Kit turned and hopped once away from them. Astral stayed put.
Sindri laughed, watching as Kinky Kit lost interest, but Astral was still watching them. Silly rabbits. He looked on as the Lunare unbuttoned his shirt before smiling a little, deciding to do the same for him. "Darn, there goes my plans for the night," He joked, as he had already known that they would most likely just be relaxing and enjoying each other's company that night.
"That didn't sound very convincing to me," Gonuret teased. When they were completely bare, he urged Sindri to lay on his stomach and began to massage his back as if he were on a mission.
Sindri chuckled as he gently laid on his stomach. He let out a content sigh as Gonuret started to massage his back. His hands were magic. It felt so good. "You're already spoiling me." He said with a satisfied smile. "I don't think I've ever had a massage until today."
The mountain dragon was content for the time being with simply massaging Sindri intimately. He played close attention to the muscles that were tense and the spots that made the desert dragon melt beneath him. He leaned down to place a kiss on his shoulder. "My people tend to put a lot of strain on their muscles on a regular basis. If we didn't know how to relieve the stress, we'd probably be the grouchiest of all the Astral tribes."
"What do you do that strains your muscles?" Sindri asked, practically melting under the dragon's touch. The sky blue dragon knew what he was doing. He was simply hitting all of the right spots.
"We are hikers and climbers. Sometimes we trade between mountains. To be able to unload such heavy cargo regularly...we simply worked our bodies hard." He chuckled. "And, of course, for fun, we would race each other swimming in the rivers."
Sindri looked absolutely amazed upon hearing that they did such things on a regular basis. An idea came to his mind, and he smiled once more. "In that case…" He began as he sat back up. "Let me massage you now. I might as well start practicing, right?"
Gonuret lifted Sindri's hands to his lips and kissed the knuckles. "Any touch of yours is bound to relax me." He took on Sindri's earlier position. "Simply knead and apply pressure to any tension you feel with your hands."
Sindri blushed. "You truly are the definition of a romantic, in my opinion..." He replied with a small laugh as Gonuret laid down on his stomach. He listened to his instructions and nodded, trying to do just that. Though it wasn't as great of a massage as the Lunare had just given him, he hoped it was decent. "How's that?"
"Mmm. More than good enough, my Solare," Gonuret commented as he reached out to pull the blonde beside him once again. His hand cupped the side of Sindri's face and slid down the side of his neck and arm until their hands touched. He threaded their fingers together as he gazed contently into sunset-hued eyes.
As their fingers laced together, Sindri moved to where he could give the dragon a peck on the lips. They continued gazing into each other's eyes when the apricot dragon smiled. "I definitely made the right choice. I love you, Gonuret."
"Hmm, and we haven't even fully consummated our love yet," Gonuret teased with a smile. He lifted Sindri's hand to his lips as he kissed the palm. His slate grey eyes never left Sindri's.
"I don't think that'll change my mind...much," Sindri teased right back, sticking his tongue out at him.
"Either way, I adore you." A moment later, something red flopped between them, and Kinky Kit looked up at them, seeking attention. "Though, I think it would be safer to get the rabbits to their proper beds before going to sleep..."
The apricot dragon smiled, about to say something when Kinky Kit flopped between them. He looked over and saw that Astral had fallen asleep on them. "Aww, poor Kit." He laughed, reaching a free hand to pet the rabbit. Sindri managed to convince Gonuret to play with the rabbit some more to tire him out before they put them into their beds in the big cage he had gotten Astral. As much as he would have loved to let him roam around his room freely all the time, he knew it was a bad idea at night. "He looks like Kelius, but he acts more like Ansar."
"I kind of prefer that," Gonuret murmured. He pulled back the covers and settled in, motioning for Sindri to join him. Once the blonde laid down beside him, he pulled the covers back over them and pulled him close. He pressed a soft kiss to his lips. "Good night, beloved."
"Agreed. I don't know if Ansar or I could handle two Keliuses," Sindri said with a tired laugh as he crawled back into bed with Gonuret. He nuzzled close to the other as he was pulled close and returned the kiss goodnight. "G'night..." He yawned out, falling asleep minutes later. He was much more tired than he had let on.

Madhal and Ilohir had immediately begun stripping each other from their stuffy outfits with too many buttons. The indigo dragon then began to fill the tub of their spa with lukewarm water and began to unbraid his waist length hair. By the time that the last wave was undone, the hair reached down to nearly completely cover his buttocks. "Would you like to have the honor of washing my silky hair?" He suggested to the jade dragon.
Ilohir was thankful to get out of those ceremony clothes. They were so intricate...and frustrating. He looked over and gaped at Madhal's long hair. "It's so wavy now," He mused as he reached out to pet the hair as if in a trance. He blinked, startled when he heard Madhal's suggestion. "Is that alright with you?"
"I wouldn't have suggested it if I didn't want you to," The violet-haired dragon replied. "Come, let us bathe together." He finished as he tugged the jade dragon into the tub with him. He sat Ilohir down on one of the submerged edges of the tub and dunked his head into the water to finish wetting his tresses before kneeling in between his legs.
Ilohir nodded with good nature, getting into the tub with him. He poured some of the shampoo into his hand then lathered it up to wash the violet locks. As soon as he was done shampooing, he conditioned it. He made sure to take his time and was very gentle. "I really like your hair. Though I don't think I could grow mine out so long."
"I rather like your hair short," Madhal replied as his azure eyes peered up at him. "The soft spikes suit you. Now, get in here." He warned as he tugged the jade dragon off the edge and began to wash his blue hair in return. A chuckle slipped from his lips as the bubbles formed an impromptu helm on Ilohir's head. Without even thinking about it, he leaned down to kiss him and pulled back before the suds fell on him, too. "Time to rinse." He warned as he scooped water into a bowl and rinsed out Ilohir's hair.
Before Ilohir could say any more, Madhal had pulled him down from the edge. "What's so funny?" He asked, being answered with a kiss, which made his cheeks turn red with a blush. He closed his eyes after Madhal warned him, feeling his hair being rinsed out. "Madhal?" He asked, looking up at the other "I-I'm a bit curious as to why you picked me…I mean, it's not that I question it, I'm just curious!" He added quickly, making sure to clarify things. Or rather, hoping he clarified.
Madhal thought back when Ilohir first sat beside him and bombarded him with questions shortly after his date with Sindri. When the subject of their home biomes and the weather changes came up, Emyve joined in their conversation. Once the three of them vowed to do something about it, the jade dragon finally relaxed a bit, and Madhal was able to enjoy his companionship from then on. "You wouldn't be yourself if you didn't ask questions, Ilohir," He replied, amused. "Your compassion towards your home biome truly moved me. You couldn't even concentrate on courting the new Solare due to your worries. I thought, here's a dragon that has his priorities straight. And, I found myself simply wanting to be one of your priorities, as well. I wanted to be the center of your attention always."
Ilohir remembered when they first really talked. He smiled at Madhal's answer. "You know... that time you told me that you only saw Sindri as a brother, I was actually rather happy. I mean, he would have been lucky to have you by his side b-but…I…I think you get what I mean." He mentally cursed, knowing he wasn't the best with words. He looked up at him and kissed his cheek.
"Why I do believe that I do," Madhal replied with a chuckle. He reached down to gently pinch one of Ilohir's butt cheeks before stepping out of the tub. "Let's get dried and to bed. Tomorrow will be a long day."
Ilohir jumped, letting out a squeak as his face went red and he started stammering. He managed to nod and got out of the tub, taking a towel and drying himself off. "Y-yeah, we better get all the rest we can."
