Welcome to Gaia! ::

Krynn's eyes followed Zetaya into the room. She stayed beneath the water, watching and listening to the woman. Yes.. something happened. Yes, Rajin told her of the release of both his powers and personality. He was hard to control.. but she didn't want to control him. Poor Zetaya, stuck with a man more perverted than Rajin. The snake sunk down just a little more when the genie turned her head, up to her neck in water now, "I appreciate you telling me these things," Said the snake, although her words were a bit blandly presented. Her brow furrowed and she waited a moment before she spoke again. "I don't know how to cool his temper. I want to know."

Her words made the genie shiver. It wasn't until she spoke again that the snake understood the reason for it. Krynn listened at the woman spoke, sighed, and spoke more. Every vein in her body seemed to slow and tense up as her mother-in-law turned and spoke to her. She closed her eyes and took in a few deep breaths. When she opened them, her blood was flowing and there was a sort of relief in her eyes that Zetaya did not focus on her markings.. granted, most were under the water. "Thank you," She uttered, her voice genuine and full of her appreciation and care. Zetaya couldn't know how much she had found herself caring for Rajin. Krynn didn't even know. "I will dress and go to him." It was a hint of a dismissal, pleasant rather than demanding. Hopefully the genie would not notice her stitching.

Krynn removed herself from the tub. Though careful, the action itself was painful and for an instant, the snake felt as though she probably should have listened to Rajin. She dried herself tenderly, and covered the wound just the same. She left her hair down, but plaited it loosely. She dressed in a plain black dress that came down to her knees, making sure it fit loosely and wouldn't bother her. She left her room and went to the sound of the fighting. She arrived in time to see that Sayid almost threw her husband from the height of the balcony, and something in her flared. She stepped closer to them, watching Rajin. "Stop." The voice wasn't soft, nor was it submissive. It was dominant and almost angry.. and directed to Sayid. Perhaps not what Zetaya imagined.

The snake was quick to move in front of Rajin, even bracing herself in case he could not stop in his rush at his father. Not that it mattered, since she could feel how the motion had pulled at her stitches. Krynn looked up at her husband, and her hard and demanding look softened considerably. "Stop," This time, the voice was soft and submissive. She wanted this to work, she wanted him to finish with this and come talk with her. To understand, perhaps, why what he did upset her. To understand how she could help him be calm, in his terms.

Despite his almost unstoppable charge, Krynn remained still and braced. If he was not able to stop, so be it.. but he did. She saw his eyes, hard and angry, and it only made her look all the more innocent and soft. Rajin's look cracked and he let loose a sigh that was soothing to the lamia. She hid her face in her husband's chest, arms against both his and her body, letting him envelope her and made her seem small and fragile to not only him, but others around her. This wasn't like her.. but it felt like her. Like this was what she was supposed to be doing. Showing her submission to him and the world. The breeze brushing against their bodies only seemed to make the mood even more tender, having her press against him just a little more for the warmth. Krynn listened as someone walked away and turned her head to find out who was leaving. Kor, who watched the dispute in it's entirety, was walking away with his hands in his pockets. The snake let out a soft sigh and relaxed against Rajin even more than she already had been. The silence was nice.

Krynn watched as they were left alone, and smiled up to Rajin. This was nice.. but they needed to talk. When her husband meant for them to walk, the lamia stayed still and held his arm to keep him. "Rajin," Her brow furrowed, "I think I love you," It only made sense that what she felt could be considered love. She hadn't felt this way about anyone, not in this romantic sense. This was so backwards and weird and Krynn wasn't sure how he would react, especially since her rejection and denial of that love happened only yesterday. The snake's hand squeezed his arm slightly, almost scared of the same rejection she gave him.

His questions only made her look more frustrated. She didn't understand why the confession wasn't enough from her. She let go of his arm as she watched him, dropping her own arm to her side. Krynn didn't talk for a long time. It felt like.. like saying it wasn't enough so she had to be given another take. She was some actress repeating a line that she didn't present well enough. The snake wasn't sure what to say. In fact, she just didn't bother saying anything, she stared at her husband with this maelstrom of emotions that varied from confusion to annoyance to an obvious pain at the idea of what she said not being enough for him.

She was running water in a sink that was beginning to overflow. It was only when the snake looked into her lover's eyes that the request became clearer in her mind, and the faucet was turned off. The water drained. Rajin wasn't asking because it wasn't enough for him, he was asking because it was more than enough. He wanted her to tell him and let him know and while that made her feel warm inside, there was still a part of her that seemed to hesitate. Krynn only watched him for a long time, not speaking. Letting everything sort of fill her and letting her mind sort through all the things is needed to before she spoke or acted. When she did act, it was after a gradual transition from unsure and pained to loving and confident. The negatives in her eyes broke away and a smile, both in her eyes and on her lips, replaced them. She seemed to bounce on her feet before she embraced him loosely. She buried her face against him, "I love you, I love you," Her hold tightened just a fraction, but her excitement and love for him enveloped the both of them.
