It's early morning in the quiet enclosure that will someday become Luceti. The sun is rising, birds are chirping in that annoyingly cheery way that makes you want to shoot them out of the trees, and the residents are beginning to wake up. Most of them are heading to work, either to farm, or to build, or to work the shops, or even just to prepare a nice breakfast for their families and neighbours. Everyone has something to do.

And then, out of nowhere, a couple hundred strangers show up in the middle of the woods.

At first there is confusion, and no shortage of caution, from the neighbours; newcomers are common enough, but usually they are announced beforehand, and never in such great numbers. The leaders of the town are called in to ask questions. The newcomers are free to explore, but any aggression will be met in kind; if need be, the Filial of the past will defend their homes. They're hoping it won't come to that, however. You're stuck with one another for a long time, after all.

Thankfully, there is one man who might be able to bring the natives and newcomers together: Tyr.

...And the other guy, maybe. We'll see.

"Nay. None of the the animals came along." Which means no kitten either. He missed the animals, he could admit that privately. The unconditional love is something he likes having.

Still he also just liked the feeling of Eugene's hand in his. He noted the change in the ground beneath his feet. They were just sneaking off to read a bit, though he could entertain himself pretending it was for things far more elicit.

"I haven't quite gotten the answer for that yet. It may take observation here and then a return to our time. Or perhaps just asking Jon might provide the answer. One never knows with him."

"...Okay, that-- oh." Truthfully, he was a terrible boyfriend for not noticing the lack of their pets. But in all the commotion-- he'd pretend he noticed. Thank Loki for telling him about this before it became obvious.

He kept hold of Loki's hand and he took a seat, guiding him down and to rest his head in his lap. Nothing out of the ordinary, just two very close friends settling in for some company together. There was no mead here to make things confusing and interesting.

"Alright, hand the book over." Well, he was allowed some small things, wasn't he? Like cupping Loki's face with both hands. It wasn't too much, but enough to be flirty, which was a good place to be.

"Hadn't you noticed?" Loki was an asshole. "Oops."

Loki lay down happily and settled himself. And well, if Eugene was going to touch his face like that, he would turn his head to press a kiss against his palm. Nothing so wicked as that. He offered Eugene the book, feeling quite content with the world for now. Eugene always smelled rather nice, which was perhaps odd.

Eugene liked bathing, thus he had a nice smell, likely the byproduct of some product or other. A soft chuckle resulted from the kiss on his hand, and Eugene used the other one to take the book and open it up.

"It's okay, you saved me from looking like a complete asshole, actually. I should give you my thanks." not noticing Ranni or Savio gone missing would result in him being couched, for sure.

Clearing his throat, he checked where Loki said he left off, beginning to read, and letting his hand rub slightly against Loki's scalp.

Silly Eugene. Humans just have a really terrible sense of smell and don't notice these things.

"Well, I do wish to keep you relatively unbruised."

He sighed contentedly at the attentions. This was nice indeed. Very relaxing. He would much rather be reading under his own power still, but if he closed his eyes he could pretend that he and Eugene were rather like lovers that had snuck off to do share a quiet moment. That was an acceptable sorry of time for reading aloud.

shall we wrap it up :3?

Once situated, Eugene began to read aloud. His cadence wasn't bad-- he had a little experience reading to the children of Abel, yet he wasn't too animated. All the while he ran his fingers along Loki's scalp, around the shell of his ear, and the line of his jaw. Caressing was perfectly suitable, as far as he was concerned.
