Kai very nearly laughed, “Why do you think I’m such a pain in the ass here? As far as jobs there are the obvious differences; manual labor versus something like sewing or baking or weaving. Of course there are exceptions like one of Iggy’s best apprentices in the forge is a young woman or me in the army…but schooling is a little different. They tend to focus girl more on the academic side rather than fighting. Women are prized here for intellect. Eau women especially are often trained to be healers so we can either go with the troops, no village will be without one, and they can travel to different nations to help out in times of crisis. If a woman holds no interest or ability in bending, she’s taught the basics of blades and such.” She explained with a small shrug, looking to Nina as she spoke.

Nina nodded, “That’s what I chose. I was always much more a bookworm than a fighter. So I learned archery from my father and blades in school but me mum helped me really perfect it for me. Men can choose to either go on the path of intellect if they find they’re not good at fighting or don’t want to but all must go through at least basic boot-camp so should the time ever come they can help. What I meant by Kai crashing the guys’ classes is they train the boys much more rigorously than the women in bending and fighting and we’re always taught in gender-specific classes until you get into the really high levels. We have had women warriors but they are usually rare.”

“Yeah, I knew I didn’t want to only be a healer, and my schooling was different than most girls’ given I’m nobility and, at the time, in line for the crown. They focused me on my studies and etiquette and dancing…” Kai made a face, “but as you all know I don’t have the patience for anything like that save for drawing and painting. I enjoyed my bending and fighting classes much more and while I’m now grateful for knowing how to heal I fought to get into the more rigorous fighting programs with my brother and Bryce.” She let out a small laugh, “Scared the crap out of Kyler fist time he saw Iggy and I spar…Well anyway, from which I became the first woman to lead an infantry division into battle and the only woman in that squadron. Also I’m the annoying opinionated young woman in the war council meetings.” She added with a shrug, as if it wasn’t a big deal. To her, it wasn’t. She was helping her people and doing what she loved. She never understood it when people made such a huge deal of it.


Lily nodded with a small smile, giggling a little as Sare took her hand. “Yeah…sounds really fun.” She agreed but as they went to leave Iggy entered the room with a chuckle.

“Well isn’t it my two favorite girls…” He grinned a bit as Lily giggled and twisted back and forth a bit. He stole a quick kiss from Sare before moving to grab his clothes out of the wardrobe. “Jeremiah is finally feeling better so we’ll head out soon.” He added as he moved to change behind the screen.

“Uncle Iggy? Can we get some kinde while we’re in the market?” She asked with an adorably cheesy grin even though she knew he couldn’t see it.

“I was thinking that we’d stop by Nena’s for some sweets instead of rotting the teeth out of your head…” He replied with a chuckle as he slipped his shirt over his head.

Lily grinned and looked up at Sare, “Oh Nena makes the best cookies and stuff! Have you met her? She’s Nina’s mom!”

Ian listened carefully, beginning to better see and understand the difference. "Oh... okay. I think I get it better now." He told them as he kissed Adelle's cheek. "You guys like to make things twenty times more complicated here." He made a face as Kyler rolled his eyes at his friend.

"It's not complicated, you're just too simple minded to understand." He smirked over at Ian as Ian flicked him off.

"Hey, dude. I passed school with flying colours before heading into the military with Haven. I aced ASVAB and they were going to put me out of infantry, but I insisted." He pointed out with a shrug. When he wanted to be, Ian was very intelligent. He had taken honours and AP classes in highschool, and had gotten several full ride scholarships and offers to ivy league schools if he wished. He just didn't choose that route. He often downplayed his intelligence and seemed like a bumbling idiot because it caused others to underestimate him.

"So do you like fighting or is it just something you're good at?" He asked Kai, fully ignoring Kyler as Adelle ran her fingers through his hair soothingly.

((O.o and here I were thinking you a complete idiot!))


Sare grinned as Iggy appeared, not able to help herself. Here was this incredible, amazing, smart, handsome man. And he was all hers, had chosen her to be his. It was a little much to wrap her mind around sometimes, but she'd always be greatful for his love, kindness and friendship. She laughed as she kissed him back before looking over at Lily and shaking her head.

"What's kinde? And nope! I didn't get a chance to last time." She said, suddenly a little nervous. This woman had helped raise Iggy when he was younger. She hoped that the woman liked her.

((-points to Keira and Iggy- I know how you feel......))

Nina giggled and shrugged a bit as she leaned back into Devin a bit, "Your schooling system isn't any simpler to outsiders." She pointed out, shaking her head as Kyler and Ian got into it.

Kai laughed with a shrug, "Mix of both I think. I've always been a tomboy. Always hated dresses and "normal" girly things. I started with the normal self-defense but then I figured out I was good at it. More I did it, the more I loved it..." she grinned a bit, "I like the power I feel...odd as it sounds. Plus as a girl most dont think I can fend for myself so I like to keeo them guessing..." she mused with a shrug.

Lily giggled, "She's the bestest!!" She nodded as Iggy came out with a chuckle.

"Kindre is a kind of sugar candy....horrible to your teeth and such." He explained as he strapped the belt around his waist, a slim sword hanging from it. He had on a loose white shirt, black pants and a black leather vest. He saw the nerves in his fiance's eyes and kissed her cheek lovingly, knowing where the nerves were coming from. He looked down as Lily giggled harder, scooping her up and poked her side which caused her to laugh harder. "And what's so funny.missy??"

Lily grinned, "You guys are all.kissy and stuff...." she giggled as he just shook his head with a chuckle.

((I mean... I've had him for YEARS! And... and I haven't known until just now?! *falls over* ))

"It just depends on what you grow up with." Devin offered with a shrug as he kissed Nina's cheek as she leaned into him. He wrapped his arms around her tightly as he smiled down at her, nuzzling the top of her head with his cheek.

"No wonder Celene likes you so much." Ian chuckled with a shake of his head. "But you will never see me underestimate you. I've seen the damage some of our females do. Celene and Hazel? They terrify me." He chuckled. Both women were fierce warriors and fighters, and he wouldn't dream of getting in their way. Same with Kai. He was smart enough to realize the predator in her no matter how she acted. She was not someone to be taken lightly. And she quickly proved that when she knocked some of the pack on their ass.


Sare smiled as Iggy came back out, eyes noticing the sword he strapped to his waist. She relaxed a little as he kissed her cheek before laughing quietly at Lily. "Just wait until it happens to you missy!" She teased her, hip-checking Iggy lightly. He was going to have his hands full with all of the suitors she was going to attract.

((lmao they like hiding secrets...))

Nina giggled softly as he nuzzled the top of her head, "We should get going soon...." She told him softly, knowing Cristol would be expecting them soon.

Kai laughed, "Hey you know what? I don't question it. Nor do I question why Haven puts up with my crap." She mused with a shrug and a small grin as she nodded, "Yeah, I heard from Iggy about the wolves who helped him Diana's hord. I don't doubt you all...." She added with a smile as she leaned lightly against her fiance. "Its better to have someone underestimate you than underestimate them."


Lilly giggled and shook her head, "Boys are icky..." She said with a serious nod, laughing harder as Iggy poked her.

"Hey buttmunch..."

"Uncle Iggy you don't count!!" She giggled with a squeal as he tickled her again but always made sure to keep a good grip on her as she flailed.

"Come on missy, let's go get your brother...." Iggy chuckled, setting her down and following her out of the room, arm looped around Sare's waist. "She better always think boys are icky...." He mused, only loud enough for his fiance to hear.

"Whenever you want to leave Sparky." Devin murmured back to her as he place a kiss into her hair. They had a long day ahead of them. He hoped this didn't strain and push her too much. He knew she was tired of being coddle and looked after, but he couldn't help himself from worrying about her.

"Haven puts up with it, as you say, because he's amused. He's not being used to being told no. It's an Alpha thing, don't ask." Ian shrugged with a grin. "And exactly my way of thinking. We don't ever admit it, because it's bad for our ego and everything, but the women pretty much run everything. They tend to be more fierce and deadly. They work out the politics and such. We're just there for our charming personality and good looks." He winked playfully as Adelle rolled her eyes, yanking on her husband's hair playfully.


Sare laughed at Lily's words before giggling as she watched Iggy with her niece. They were just too cute together! She laughed quietly as Iggy wrapped his arm around her waist, her laugh becoming louder as she heard Iggy's words. "Aww! No happily ever after for Lily? You know she's going to be such a catch when she's older, right?" she pointed out to him with a grin as she pulled him to a stop and gave him a deep kiss before tugging him after Lily with a giggle.

Nina nodded before patting his leg, "I think we've made them wait long enough..." She told him as she stood up carefully, her legs stilll a little shaky but nowhere near as bad as that morning.

Kai chuckled with a nod as Adelle pulled on Ian's hair, looking to Kyler then. "So that's why I keep you around..." She teased him with a grin, kissing his cheek. "Charming personaility and good looks?"


Iggy let out a deep chuckle and shook his head, "Much...much older." he corrected, taken a little off guard by the kiss but he pouted as she pulled away. He loved his niece but the thought of some punkass coming to court her? Hell no. At least he was making sure Jeremiah would be good to whatever girls went after him. "I'm honestly a bit worried about Jeremiah and the wolf girls..." He teased her, giving her waist a teasing squeeze.

Devin chuckled as he kissed her cheek. "We're gonna head on out. We'll be seeing you guys later." He smiled and waved to the others as he led Nina to the front door.

Kyler chuckled as he offered up a smile, shrugging at her question. "I guess so? I can't answer that. Why DO you keep me around?" He asked her with a grin as he kissed her cheek as well.


Sare laughed as he brought up Jeremiah and the female wolves. "He'll be fine, I think. He might start a couple of fights though if he commits to one and the others find out." She teased, hip checking him playfully. "He's a little cutie though, so they'll be all over him. Be prepared to have the house bombed with phone calls and girls knocking on the door to ask him to hang out. Wolf girls are a lot more forward with their interests and crushes than normal ones." She informed him with a grin. "He's going to have to be very upfront and honest when he talks to them. They don't like it when you play word games."

Nina smiled as she waved to the others before following Devin out of the house and to the smaller of the carriages. She smiled as the driver helped her up, quickly giving him instructions on where they were going before settling in. she looked up at Devin with a hesitant smile, curling into him as he sat down. She was beyond nervous as to what Cristol was going to say.....and that Devin would bring up what Iggy had eluded to at breakfast. She'd tell him if he asked, but she wasn't going to bring it up on her own.

Kai laughed, "Ehhhhh you're cute to look at and I can think of some reasons to keep you around...." She mused, stealing a quick, teasing kiss before he could answer. "love you......"


Iggy shook his head with a chuckle, "Hey hey his uncle taught him well.....well, uh, heh....." He rubbed the back of his head, "Okay his uncle who was a proclaimed life-long bachelor taught him the basics...." He mended as he gave her a sheepish grin. It's not like he was an asshole to the girls he had flings with but still...."What?! He knows better than to be asshole...but remember he's also a teenager....."

Devin smiled as he followed Nina, getting into the carriage with her and curling her into his arms. "Sheperd, I love you." He said as he stole a kiss as they headed out. He was silent for a little longer before speaking up. "You don't have to tell me, but are you okay Sparky?" He asked her in concern. After what Iggy had brought up, and after she admitted to all of the stress, he was worried about her.

Kyler laughed as he grinned at his fiancee. "I'll try to remain useful then." He teased her after kissing her back. "I love you too, baby." He told her as he looked over to see Ian and Adelle grinning at them. "What?" He asked as Adelle just giggled.

"You're just so cute! I mean, I never thought I'd see you so happy again and with a girl of your own. Then you bring Kai home, claiming her as your mate and I'm just happy for you." Adelle gushed before blushing.


Sare raised her eyebrow at Iggy and smirked at him as he backpedaled and corrected himself. Laughing, she just shook her head. "Good save." She told him as she kissed his cheek. "I mean, it's almost as bad as me letting slip about all the past guys I dated." She teased him, not minding at all. She found it amusing. She had heard. They all thought Iggy would never settle down until she came around. So what if he had flings? Did she expect him to be a vestile virgin his whole life or something like that. It's not like she was. "And sure, he'll make mistakes. But between the two of us, he should make it out alive without one of them wanting to rip his throat out." She teased with a grin.
