Remember the first time Xio Voe made Kudorin cry and it rained? Remember Desin throwing him against the wall and tearing his shirt? Hasn't Desin and Xio Voe come so very far from then, to see that even though Desin knows this is an issue between Kudorin and Xio Voe, that he can at least sit back and wait for the outcome before kicking Xio Voe's ass?
I am not surprised Kudorin went to Anikira to talk first, what I am surprised with is that none of us suggested it during the last chapter discussion. It seems so obvious, the siblings may be his brothers but Anikira is his spouse, just as Xio Voe is. She would have better insight than any of them, loving and being loved in return by Kudorin. Anikira is exactly right about Kudorin and his love and Xio Voe and his inexperience.
I am glad Kudorin had this insight:
It starts out simply, normally, and then I push for a little bit more, a little bit more, and each thing is an extension of the last, but when you take it all together, it’s too much.
Because that is the crux of the matter. Every journey of a thousand miles is made one step at a time and when it is taken together the steps add up to something huge.
Remin was an excellent second choice, he is such a good counselor, allowing Kudorin to work it through, to come to his own insights. I did the O_O when I read this
...how he can go back to Seijaces permanently so I won’t be bothered by the presence of my own husband.
I hadn't read that into what Xio Voe said but now I can see it. Knowing Xio Voe missed the sunrise, I do not think it is the intrusion but the fact he is staying away till he could present Kudorin with "The Plan". That made me sad but it is so Xio Voe.
I like that Pelu is sincere in his beliefs and that Selorin knows it. Sneaky bastard playing with Pelu that way. I would never want Selorin as a partner, but his truly is perfect for Vade.
OK so now Remin and Tano. Goodness Tano is so perfect for Remin. Now that we finally get to see Tano's sexuality it making me squeee in anticipation of them getting together. They are going to go off like fireworks when they get together. Xio Voe is so going to have to drag Remin's ass out of bed after him and Tano stay secluded for 2 weeks straight fucking their brains out once they are married. I think Remin and Tano should have a really really really long honeymoon cause they will need it to get enough of each other. What I marvel over is how either of them ever were able to hold onto celibacy.
Back to Xio Voe and Anosukinom. They are both right and they are both wrong, neither is to blame, they need still to meet in the middle. Xio Voe being slightly more open Anosukinom being slightly less demanding. It is Anosukinom's vision of future happiness that is driving Kudorin. That little game of Xio Voe's where he tuned Anosukinom out of his thoughts might be a good thing for Kudorin to examine, to live his relationship living in the here and now and not looking towards what Anosukinom can see. And wasn't it cool that the Soratic Gods dumped Xio Voe at Anosukinom's doorstep when he asked? That and the "Our Brothers". Truly Xio Voe knows the solution to the important part of the issue.
I want to see the Rainbow Rain! Is sounds so beautiful.
Remin shame on you to try to wiggle out of a day with your brothers.
Now onto Anosanim, Ritek, Talin and Hitari. Good catch Ritek! Desin is right, Talin can't let Hitari spoil everything but it makes me so sad that one of Ritek and Anosadim's favourite memories is the start of Talin's worst. Anosanim is so sincere and his love for Talin is so amazing.
Orinakin & Bade are HOME *does a happy dance*
