Nit would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous, in meeting her mate's relatives. As an Angelic, she knew she would eventually find a deity to serve, but most importantly, to love and stand side by side with for the rest of their existence...

Of course, that existence was quite a long one.

But now, she could call herself an Angelique and it was such a wonderful feeling not only to mention that, but also to find someone so different from her. It was... quite difficult to get along with him at first, with Nit being so quiet and meek. But that could be why she felt attracted to him. Gold tinted wings brushed againts the air softly as she entered her new home; her mate was easy to spot even from afar. The closer the Angelique got, her fears flashed once again inside her thoughts.

Would they approve of her? And if not, would they force them apart...?

"...Miiku?" Nit mumbled as she laid her hand on his shoulder.

The Angelique blushed at the sudden movement, because of her nervousness or the intimacy it brought, Nit wasn't sure. "W-would it be wrong to admit that I'm actually nervous?" she managed; his family was quite extensive from what she heard. "Shall we go inside, then? It would be rude to make them wait long." It was relieving to know Nit wasn't the only one who was nervous about the whole ordeal.

It took all of Nit's willpower not to jump at the Goddess' sudden appearence; the only thing she could do was to watch her mate being showered with familiar affection, a tiny smile formed on her lips; it was at that precise moment the Deity's gaze fell on her and, before she knew it, her paws were being held once again! The blush that dusted the Angelique's cheeks increased tenfold. Who could have though the first relative she'd meet was Miika Koorome herself?

"Greetings m-my lady," Nit berated herself for her nervousness, while she apparently had the Goddess' approval already, she still had to leave a good first impression! Holding on the smile she was offered, the Angelique gulped before curtsying, busied paws notwithstading "It is an honor to finally be in your presence, my name is Nit."

"Y-yes My Lady." Meekly, Nit followed a few steps behind the Goddess, but not without casting a last glance at the other's grandson.

But she definitely had to shake off her stuttering, even more with the prospect of being face-to-face with two of Miiku's uncles and aunts; the angelique pressed on and, while the powers of Deities were common knowledge, she was still amazed at how a temple could bend to it's owner's will. Nit hurried to sit as soon as the Goddess did, her earrings producing tingling sounds as they clashed one another and, once properly seated, awaited whatever Miira had in mind.

"Um, well, if I remember right..." The Angelique mumbled, suddenly finding her feet interesting to look at... or was it the way she was seated on the very place where there was nothing before? "I was flying over a nearby village at night --not too low, of course! Anyway, I watched the starts when a shadow flew past me and, before I knew it Miiku and I... had bumped into each other." Nit concluded, slightly embarrased. For that 'bumped into' almost caused the both of them almost crashing down the evening sky, but the Goddess probably didn't need it to hear it out of her mouth.

"That sounds like such a lovely chance encounter." Miira sighed, cupping her chin in her paws. "I have always been fond of Miiku. He likes playing quite a bit more than my children, and is less serious than them. He gets it from his mother." Miira laughed.

"Grandmother! I found Uncle Miizu!" Miiku called loudly. Louder than particularly necessary, but he was nervous and wanted his family to love Nit like he loved her.

It wasn't often that Alayet left the temple, but she had been tricked outside of her home many moons past. Everything felt more than a little fuzzy in her memory. She couldn't quite remember what the story had been to draw her out of the temple, but she did remember the fact that some sort of witch was behind it all.

There had been a fight, Alayet had somehow lost, and then... nothing. No idea what had happened. Instead the angelic had woken up in a stone tower, covered in a layer of dust, as a window cover had finally rusted off of its hinge to clatter to the ground. She had felt far too weak to move at first, but slowly her strength had returned over the course of a day.

After shaking off that weakness, Alayet had emerged from the tower to find nothing but wilderness around. After flying a certain distance, she had finally made her way back to the fox temple. Her feet landed as a sigh escaped her, finally being home after... well, she hoped she hadn't taken too long. A quick search of the grounds brought her to the gardens and to the fountains. And there was where she found him lying on a bench rather dramatically.

"She's right here. What tracking is required?" Alayet smiled down at him as she leaned over. Of course, she had already tried to wash most of the dust off her person before returning, but there were a few patches she had missed. All the angelic could do was hope not much time had passed since she had left.
