Hero Of Harmony

While Master was comfortably sitting on my lap, I listened to her words and didn't try to get all lovey-dovey, even though it was incredibly tempting to do so; still, I didn't want to possibly annoy her with my love, although I doubt I would, mainly because she would just reciprocate my love. Anyways, with Master intently fiddling around with whatever was on the table, I started brushing her hair before eventually braiding it; believe it or not, I was actually pretty good at braiding hair, one of the few things that comes naturally to me, though until now, it's never been practical.

Still, Master had quite a large amount of hair, so it took some time to braid it, and it wasn't until a little over an hour passed that I finally finished; it didn't look that good considering I used only an hour, but even so, she still looked presentable. Once I finished braiding her hair, I wrapped my arms around her waist again and rested my head atop her shoulder as I watched her repair the item on the table.

'Hmm, now that I look at it, it resembles a miniature carousel; the only difference is that the horses look more like unicorns and pegasi.' Pondered Alexander as he eyed the miniature carousel Lavender was working on.

"What is that, Master?" Asked Alexander softly as he shifted his eyes to Lavender's face, which was directly to the left of his.

"It's a mini-carousel, a staple toy for children from where I came from. My little sister had gotten it for me on my coming-of-age birthday; granted, she was only four years old and didn't know any better. A 16-year-old wouldn't ever use such a toy; this was for children her age." Replied Lavender lightly with a slight smile as she reminisced about her past.

"Still, even if you never touched it since, you kept it by your side for over two millennia with it still in great shape; it just goes to show how much you love your sister." Remarked Alexander with a smile as he went quiet while reminiscing about his brother from his past life.

"Anyways, why are you suddenly repairing it now, Master?" Asked Alexander curiously as he looked at the multi-colored mini-carousel, which had two unicorns and two pegasi.

"Hmm, no reason, really; your birthday just got me thinking about my own, and then I remembered this thing. Considering it's been some time since then, I wanted to play with it, as immature as it sounds, but it was broken; currently, I'm attempting to repair it, although, as you can see, I'm not making much progress." Said Lavender with a slight frown, having been working on the same spot for the past hour, making minimal progress.

"A 2,3676-year-old Dryad, playing with a toy meant for toddlers; I don't see how this could ever be immature, Master." Said Alexander sarcastically, earning him an elbow to the stomach from Lavender while giving him a dangerous look.

"Ever since your birthday, Alexander, you've gotten much bolder; first, you forced yourself onto me, and now you're making fun of my age. Maybe I need to re-educate you on whose in charge, MY disciple." Stated Lavender with a dangerous look, which looked exceptionally sexy from Alexander's point of view, though he knew better than to anger Lavender.

"Hehe, sorry." Remarked Alexander with a cheeky grin while tightening his hug on Lavender, causing her dangerous look to recede as she returned to normal.

"Good; now, for future reference, just because I'm now your woman doesn't mean the hierarchy has changed; I'm still in charge, and if you've got a problem with that, we can talk about it in my room." Said Lavender with a smirk, her voice turning slightly sensual as she traced her finger from his chest to his chin while licking her lips, causing Alexander's heart rate to speed up.

"I understand; your words are law, my Queen." Replied Alexander as he grasped her hand and gently kissed it, causing Lavender to smile subtly.

"Hmm, I prefer Princess Vestalis." Muttered Lavender as he turned around, shifting her focus to the mini-carousel.

"Yes, Princess Vestalis." Said Alexander with a slight shake of his head, playing along with the roleplay.

"Also, for the record, Master, I may have forced myself onto you last night, but it's not like you were helpless or anything. I may be able to overpower you physically, but if you really wished to escape, it would've been rather easy for you; there is no way I could've resisted your magic. So, really, you wanted to make love with me as well; you just had your status as Master holding you back from being the one to initiate it." Added Alexander with a slight grin as he looked at Lavender, who promptly ignored him.

"Hmm? What did you say, Alexander? I'm getting up there in age; my ears don't work like they used to." Questioned Lavender loudly as she pointed toward her ear, imitating a deaf old woman, causing Alexander to chuckle in amusement before kissing her on the lips.

"God, I love you, Lavender." Said Alexander as he gave her an affectionate kiss.

"Fufu, I love myself as well." Remarked Lavender with a mischievous grin as she reciprocated the kiss with another, which quickly turned into a make-out session.

After our little makeout session, which ended up lasting for about an hour, I reluctantly left Master's office to start preparing dinner, and unsurprisingly, I spotted Talis already at the table; ever since she tasted my cooking, not once has ever been late for a meal.

"Where have you been, Talis? After cleaning you, I hadn't seen you the whole day. Don't tell me you were at the dungeon; you know I don't like it when you go to the dungeon by yourself." Asked Alexander with a slight smile while looking at Talis before his expression shifted into a frown as he gauged her words, deducing whether she was lying.

"Hmph, I'm a grown bird; I can go anywhere I want! However, I wasn't in the dungeon; I was flying around the forest. I did encounter a Wind Eagle, but that thing was too slow; it couldn't keep up with me!" Stated Talis pridefully as she puffed out her feathery chest and held her beak up high while looking at Alexander.

With the way Talis was looking at me, she was obviously waiting to be praised, but even though she didn't enter the dungeon, hearing that she raced with a wind eagle somewhat annoyed me; if that bird somehow caught her, she'd be it's dinner.

"Haa, good job, just please be careful; you may be faster than a wind eagle, but that thing is much stronger than you. If they somehow manage to catch you, it'll be next to impossible for you to escape by yourself." Remarked Alexander with a sigh as he scratched the underside of Talis's beak, causing her to release purrs like a cat despite being a bird.

"I'm always careful; besides, it doesn't matter that they're stronger than me; they will never be able to catch me!" Yelled Talis eagerly in between her purrs as Alexander scratched her sweet spot.

Shaking my head at her in-born stubbornness, I let go of Talis and approached the kitchen while wearing my appropriate outfit, my apron, as always.

"Hmm, what should I cook today?" Muttered Alexander as he opened the fridge and looked inside.

"Goddess Eywa, this food is delicious! I truly couldn't ask for a better disciple; not only is he incredibly talented, but he can also cook as well!" Stated Lavender in bliss as she slurped up lasagna, causing the sauce to splatter across her face.

"Alex, this dish is amazing!" Said Talis, though, unlike Lavender, she was much more barbaric as she ate, causing her entire body to be covered in sauce and noodles.

'Haa, what was I thinking when I decided to make lasagna?' Mused Alexander in regret as he looked at the two while shaking his head.

"You two, slow down; it's just lasagna; there is literally nothing special about it." Said Alexander, though both were too absorbed with the taste of his dish to bother responding, causing him to sigh as he focused on finishing his food.

The next few minutes were relatively quiet; only the sound of noodles slurping was heard echoing through the house, though thankfully, they finished rather quickly.

"That may very well be the most delicious dish you've ever made, Alexander." Said Lavender as she wiped her face down with a wet napkin

"Yep, I agree with Miss Lavender!" Added Talis as she burped, causing Alexander's face to twitch in annoyance since she was looking at him.

"Well, I'm glad you two enjoyed it; however, you will be cleaning up this mess, Master, since I need to go and wash this filthy bird for a second time." Remarked Alexander with a forced smile, standing up and grabbing Talis by her nape as he exited the kitchen.

"Ugh, she's such a messy eater; maybe I should just leave this for Alexander to clean?" Muttered Lavender with a frown as she looked at the surrounding area covered in sauce and noodles, specifically around Talis's area.

"There, now you're clean again, Talis." Said Alexander as he finished drying Talis under the darkness of night, just outside the treehouse.

"Thanks, Alex. Also, since I hardly slept last night, I'm incredibly tired, so don't make too much noise while you're mating with Miss Lavender." Remarked Talis as she flapped her wings and quickly took to the air, just in time, too; otherwise, she would've been punted.

"Stupid bird." Muttered Alexander with blushed cheeks as he watched Talis enter through the window of the treehouse.
