Is everyone in a post chapter  Red Heart Floating Hearts Red Love and  Cry session?  I think my heart is still trying to settle into one place.  I had so many melt and gush moments in this chapter.

I think I need to ask Vani to create a banner with lots of hearts and prisms on it with the words Cialex and Jarouje scrolled across them.  I love when Xoe Voe uses them with Kudorin.  Red Heart

The things I most remember effecting me were T'rin and Kuladin's conversations.  I think I will stick with calling Rini, Kuladin when I talk about him and T'rin.  Cause he is more than just Rini when he is loved by T'rin.  It is such a huge thing for Kuladin to have T'rin's love.  It will continue to effect him and help him grow into the amazing man that I see Kuladin to be when he matures.  Kuladin has the cornerstone foundation of the love his Gods, his parents, his brothers and his people bestow upon him to stand on.  T'rin's love is more.  It will place a layer overlying the foundation that will elevate Kuladin into adulthood and ground him.  The responsiblities that he has accepted from T'rin and the People of the Plains will set him as a Good Will Ambassador  for the rest of his life.  He has a amazing future in front of him of spreading his gifts to all.  What a change from the young man we met in Chapter 1, the same fun loving person that Rini is has expanded into the maturing man Kuladin will be.  Kudorin and Orinakin summed it up perectly.

Quote
            “It’s good for him, to be loved by T’rin.  He’s used to being adored and spoiled and sought after, but this is the mature love of an honorable, admirable, respectable, reasonable man.  And it’s good that there’s no real pressure on him.  He and T’rin can’t make any commitment to each other, so all they have between them, is love.”

            “A pure relationship,” Orinakin said thoughtfully.  “No commitment, no guarantee, no family, no pressure to move on to the next stage.  Simply their feelings for each other.”

And he got his wish to re-name the Hill of Regret into The Hill of Promises.  I think that the promise and the eternal tree had to be a joint effort from Ilanosa, Setanoto, Itanoka and Ebanosa.  Isn't it just like a brother, Desin in this case when he ribbed Rini.

Quote
            “It’s a magic tree?  The gods planted a magic tree?  For me?”

            Okay, that was it.  “Now will you admit that the gods love you more than the rest of us?”

The blessing Kuladin bestows was so perfect.  I cried through the whole goodbye from the blessing onwards. *looks for silver tissue*

Is it just me or does anyone else get the feeling we are seeing more of Remin's sexuality now so we will be prepared for when his HEA arrives and we will all be primed for the explosion that will occur when they get together?  I am still feeling scorched form the scene we encountered when Kudorin walked in on.  That was sizzling.  Dead Faint

OK Ritek is being tooooo perfect again.  Tongue  And Talin.  Heartbroken *sniff*  Poor Anosanim, to have to deal with this.  I am glad that he has Ritek and maybe that is what Ritek is all about, someone there for Anosanim to lean on while he get's Talin through this whole mess with Hiarti and the ever increasing after effects.  Even so I am glad Ritek is there being perfect.

Oh I wonder what Vade and Bade will be getting up to being seconded into Orinakin's staff.  Loved Anikira's getting her hooks into the twins to ensure she had help too.  And speaking of "Staff's"  Your is largest eh Remin? Wink  Giggle

I knew that saying goodbye to Ehlee would be easier than saying goodbye to T'rin but it was still very very hard. Ehlee had a wonderful impact on Desin.  I had to chuckle when the member of Orinakin's staff warned Desin about giving Ehlee back a gift of his hair and kept chuckling when the staff member came back with Ehlee's reply.  Too sweet and thoughtful.  Evil

I love how this chapter eneded.  Kuladin saying something profound and Desin making a joke about the size of T'rin penis.  So perfectly siblings. Group Hug  Red Heart

Desin's crack about the god's loving Rini best made me laugh for like five minutes.

Also his goodbye with Ehlee (Sp?) made me smile.  Somehow, I don't think Desin will have trouble fulfilling that last request.

The "largest staff" double entendre went right over my head, which was obviously taking a vacation from its everyday residence in the gutter. I can't believe I missed that.  Doh!

Since I was determined not to invest in the Rini/T'rin pairing, this chapter wasn't horrible for me. It was actually pretty good for me: I'm happy that T'rin told Rini that he loved him, happy that he's on his way home to start building his nation, happy for Rini to have the experience of being loved in that way. I'm incredibly curious about the promise that the gods made to Rini.

And I loved this:
Quote
Kudorin found Xio Voe’s bluntness adorable in moments like this.  “I love you.”

            “And I find myself deeply in love with you,” Xio Voe replied, simultaneously reading and scheming.  “Cialex,” he muttered to himself, turning a page.

            Kudorin grinned.  “You don’t have to say you love me back every time.”

            “You want to hear it,” Xio Voe said.  “That’s reason enough.”

I'm at a point in my fourth reread that is still before Xio Voe truly opens himself to loving Kudorin, so going from that to this is such a joy. It's still amazing to me, the difference in Xio Voe between his arrival in OA to now.  Adore

And Rini, you goof:
Quote
Okay, that was it.  “Now will you admit that the gods love you more than the rest of us?” Desin asked.

            “Oh, come on, don’t be jealous,” Rini said.  “You got Norisa.”

            “It’s an eternal tree!”

            “I can’t pet a tree and play with a tree and use it to pick up women!” Rini argued.

            “Norisa’s better than the tree,” Desin agreed.  “But an eternal tree is pretty awesome.”

            “It is,” Rini agreed.  “I don’t even know how it happened.  Ask for me.”

            “They gave you a tree,” Desin said.  “They’ll answer a question.”

            Rini hesitated.  “Do you think that I could use it to pick up women?  It’s a good way to start a conversation, anyway.”

I think what gave it away to me was Kudorin and Anikira were giggling like 10yr olds over a fart joke.  Giggle

Well when I read the chapter for the first time yesterday, I was slightly sleepy and tired from getting up with the kids, who are both having sleep issues, so I wasn't fully capable of coherent thought yet. So I guess my brain doesn't get back to the gutter until I wake up. Unless I'm dreaming of Xio Voe. But waking up every hour to deal with my offspring interrups those dreams.  Sigh

Damn that is such a sad thing to have happen, losing your gutter brain to lack of sleep.  Mind you... gutter brain=sex=pregancy=kids .  So I guess the gutter brain may be causing its own problem and causing it to escape. Thinking

*passes CL more coffee*

I like the idea of dreaming about Xoe Voe though. Love Eyes

I loved chapter 173.  Loved it.  But I was teary when T'rin left.  I haven't given up the hope of seeing them together forever (if not Matthew, I'm sure, will find amazing replacements for them both, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to see them together).

How does Xio Voe focus when the man he loves is right there with him at all times?  I think I'd be incapable of forming a sentence, much less work on state secrets.  I guess that's one more reason for us to be in awe of Xio Voe.  And hey!  He's turning into a Cialex too!!  *happy dance*

*drags chapter 174 out of Matthew's brain*

Oh, and thanks for the banner/icon ideas, Mountie!!

Oh, and by the way, Mountie:

I think I need to ask Vani to create a banner with lots of hearts and prisms on it with the words Cialex and Jarouje scrolled across them.  I love when Xoe Voe uses them with Kudorin.  Red Heart

I will make a banner like that: I have one in mind already, assuming I can get PSP to work the way my old Photoshop used to.  Smiley
