"Well then, maybe you just confused him with what you say. Walk him through it, sometimes it takes a bit before a person actually understands something." Eofe explained quietly as she went back to eating her soup. Valefar continued meditating and then opened his eyes as he let out a soft sigh if relief. "All better. Haven't done that in quite a while." he said to himself as she slowly stood up and stretched.

"Yeah I'll try, so how are you feeling? You don't seem to be coughing or sneezing like before." Vixen asked and smiled slightly glad that she wasn't.

"I feel pretty fine. I'm also surprised I'm not coughing or sneezing...but we shouldn't speak too soon dear." she answered and chuckled. "I could have a coughing fit late at night or something." she said quietly. and smiled. "I am just really happy to be here again...have a second chance at life to enjoy it with everyone in here. To get to know little Mela, she seems like such a sweet girl you know." explained Eofe with a nod of her head. "I know it's an odd question to ask, but are you and Valefar planning on having another child?" she asked curiously. Valefar headed back inside the castle and thought that he smelled something but didn't pay much attention to it as he walked over to his room.

"Well we haven't talked about it recently... I think we both might be a little scared after last time. See when I was about two or three months pregnant we had came back here and were getting married... we didn't get to though because someone attacked me and nearly killed both me and Mela, because of that when Mela was born she was small and blind, that night I actually died for about five minutes... after that Valefar was too scared to even try... we haven't really talked about it but I'm sure now it should be fine." Vixen explained softly and shivered as she mentioned dying and how she had been beaten while she was pregnant with Mela.

Hearing this, Eofe almost choked on her tea. "Oh my goodness!" she gasped as she stared wide eyed at Vixen. "Oh my....oh you poor dear! I am so sorry that you had to go through that I really am. I am happy though to know that you and Mela are okay now though." started Eofe. "Maybe you and Valefar can talk about that too...when you're ready of course, it's not good to rush anything." she added. Valefar sat on the bed and wondered how Eofe was doing, he wanted to see her but knew he'd probably brake down if he did.

"OH! I'M SO SORRY! I didn't mean to startle or worry you with that! The doctor told us that it was just because of what happened early on and because of stress and it probably wouldn't happen again... see Cresil had been kinda worrying me after we came back... for the longest time, even after Mela was born he didn't agree with me and Valefar being together but after awhile he changed his mind... him and Usha love Mela so much and they are both very kind to me now, well Usha started to act nicer once she found out I was pregnant and that my mother was her best friend." Vixen said with a slight smile seeming very happy that everyone was getting along now.

Eofe coughed slightly and sipped her tea. "I'm happy to know it all worked out in your favor dear." she started and chuckled. "Cresil, stubborn just like his son. When either of them has their mind set on something, it's really hard to get them to change their mind." she explained and shrugged. "Oh, don't worry about me Vixen really. I was just shocked that you had to go through that...it's no wonder my sweet prince was so scared after it all happened." she commented.

"well it was easier to change Valefar's mind then Cresil's." Vixen laughed a little before she finished her soup and smiled with a nod. So am I, now I can't imagine my life without Valefar and Mela, oh and I found out that I had a twin sister and that my mother had never actually lived in the angel kingdom, she lived in no-mans-land a bit away from my cousin." Vixen smiled some as she sipped her tea. "Heck you might actually know he already, Vivian? She's my mom, she used to work here when she was younger and had lived here for awhile after Valefar was born." she smiled easily.

When she heard Vivian's name, she smiled and nodded. "Yes I remember her, it seemed that Cresil was a man that stroke her fancy back then. It was obvious that she really did love him. I had no idea she was your mother, I'm glad you found her though. Your mother...has always been a sweet person...just like you." she commented as she finished her tea and soup. "I'd like to see her...but I don't think it would be a good idea to let her know I'm living again... I don't want to cause any problems."

"Yes, mother said that back then Cresil was a very different person, and it seems that he has changed a bit since she's been back but I don't think she feels the same about him anymore." Vixen said softly then sighed a bit. "Not until you're better... once you're better we're going to get everyone together and show them that you are back... everything should go fine so long as no one finds out who brought you back." she said softly then paused. "I mean I think that would be better then someone seeing you walking around and freak out ya know?" she smiled lightly.

Eofe suddenly laughed happily and nodded. "Ah yes, you're right Vixen dear. I wouldn't want to scare anyone really." she answered and chuckled softly. "Well of course she wouldn't feel the same now. He's married now, it would be wrong to love a married man you know." stated Eofe softly. "I'm curious...what is Valefar up to? He hasn't shown himself today...." she said quietly.

"Well I mean even when we talked before she knew that he was married she said she didn't feel the same... she says that she still loves him but in a different way." Vixen said softly with a slight smile then paused. "I'm not sure really... do you want me to go find him for you?" she asked softly and smiled easily. "Oh and would you like some more tea?" she asked noticing the cup was empty.

"Oh some more tea would be lovely dear." answered Eofe with a weak smile. "Well, at least they both still seem to get along right? That's what matters really." she started and smiled. "Well yes, I'd love to see him, and I'd be very happy having you both here to talk to...just like old times." she whispered.

Vixen smiled and nodded some before pouring Eofe more tea then stood and grabbed the empty bowels and smiled. "Well then I will be right now, oh would you also like me to get you your favorite book?" she asked softly and smiled knowing Eofe also liked to read in her down time.

"Thank-you dear, that would be lovely." she answered and thanked her for the tea before taking a sip softly. Valefar grabbed his violin and practiced a few notes as he sat in bed, concentrating hard on getting the notes right to this new song he had come across in his head. "No, it's here then here..." he scolded at himself and continued to practice.

Vixen smiled and nodded before she headed out and started to walk down the stairs with the two bowels in hand humming lightly as she thought some and wondered how everyone would react when they told them that Eofe was back alive... of course the king would probably be the first to notice.

"No, so it's here, then here....then switch notes and then here and here...linger on the note here then go...here?" Valefar sighed as he began to write this down to make it easier for himself. This song was a tough one, but he loved a challenge...that's what made it fun.

Vixen hummed as she cleaned the dishes then sighed before drying her arms and headed towards hers and Valefar's room where she quietly knocked on the door since she could hear him playing before she opened the door.

"Come in." he said and continued to practice. Curiously, he glanced back and smiled when he saw Vixen. "Hello love, what brings you here?" he asked before looking at what he wrote and practicing the written notes carefully.

"Eofe wanted to see you." Vixen said with a slight smile glad to see Valefar in a good mood again. "Is that a new song?" she asked softly before walking over to him and waited for him to put his violin down so she could hug him.

Valefar nodded as he put his things away and pulled her into his arms. "Yes it is, it's pretty tough though. I'm having a hard time getting the notes right...but that's fine, I like a good challenge." he explained and kissed her cheek. Valefar then nuzzled her neck and sighed happily before pulling away. "Let's go see Eofe then shall we?" he asked gently.

Vixen smiled softly and Hugged Valefar back easily and nuzzled him back lovingly. "okay." Vixen smiled softly as she took his hand and walked out of his room with him keeping her hand in his as they walked to Eofe's room.

Valefar followed Vixen quietly and opened the door for her before closing it behind them and letting go of her hand when he saw Eofe who smiled at him. "Eofe...mother?" he whispered in disbelief and quickly walked over to her and hugged her lovingly. Eofe smiled and carefully hugged him back as she ran her fingers through her hair. "My sweet prince, how have you been dear?" she asked and looked over at Vixen sadly. "How have you both been?" she asked. "Treating each other with respect I hope?"

Vixen smiled as she watched the two and of course nodded at what Eofe said since she always treated Valefar with respect. She then moved over to the one chair and sat down as she started sipping her tea again.

"Of course we have. I love Vixen very much and would never disrespect her." answered Valefar before looking over and smirking as he turned to look at Eofe. "You know, she doesn't like it when display my affection publicly though...kinda sad but I don't mind because I just want her to be happy. I'd do anything and everything to make Vixen happy." he whispered quietly. Hearing this, Eofe turned to Vixen slightly confused. "Is this true dear?" she asked her.
