Chapter 247: Some More Plans
The sky was slowly darkening, a beautiful violet and orange mixture painting the world in a myriad of colors, all whilst the warmth of the fire chased away the nip in the air from springs nights.
Sari wrapped her arms around my body, holding me close as she rested her head on my shoulder, the Catkin looking around the campfire.
"What do we want to do after..?"
I leaned back into Sari's soft chest, still staring at the dusk sky as I thought it over, before smiling wryly as I looked over towards Rhefia.
"Well, that all depends on how this thing between you and Jacquelyn goes, my love. There's many places inside of the Dryadi Queendom that I am interested in visiting, as well as some smaller countries that border this place. Then there's the seas to the south; I want to sail the coastline and witness the beauty that the waters have to offer. That makes Birchan a perfect place to 'settle down' in, to create a place we could call home without needing to build everything ourselves.
Somewhere that we can come back to and rest, somewhere any of our children could call home and live a simpler life. Birchan is a center of trade - international trade, not just intra - it's home to important people, meaning it'll be safer, and it has access to a spattering of various places to visit, making it somewhere you'd never get bored. Birchan is just... perfect in many ways."
Rhefia nodded, sighing slightly as she said "It is. Money flows like water through Birchan, a Goddess has blessed the Royal Family, it's an artistic and militaristic capital... As for the network of roads, we have so many places we could go to. The problem all lies in just how crazy Jacquelyn is, and if she's willing to let everything go..."
Sari nodded as well, adding "If she is, I don't doubt that we could come together with the funds needed to purchase a large plot of land - inside or outside the city walls. And if we hired some managers for stores or farmers for some fields, we could sustain the lands even as we go out and explore. Of course, we'd need to trust whomever was left behind, and make sure that they could take care of themselves."
"A mansion, just for us... Something like what the Augustia's had back in Tusk, perhaps?"
I looked towards Rhefia, who was clearly smirking as she said "Something like the Augustia's would be nice. An overabundance of wealth, beautiful architecture, lands meant for just us... A copse of maples, gardens filled with expensive flowers... That sounds excellent, and doable with you here, Astra~!"
"Ahem... well, I think another priority should be getting ourselves more carts and upgrading them? Better materials and the like for the different kinds of roads around the Queendom. As well as some more foodstuffs for when we do leave? Oh, and we should probably get the rest of you better weapons and armor; Geard Forest is far tamer than the other areas inside the Queendom. Monsters can be rather... dangerous around here, so some better gear is advisable."
Sari kissed my cheek, adding "I think we should also take a visit to some of the magic shops inside Birchan; get you, Rhefia, and Kalia some focusers for your magics."
I smirked at her, saying "For Aethisia and Camara as well, and maybe even Yiksa. Sari... Even you~! Y'see, this family of mine isn't... entirely normal."
I looked around the area before nodding, holding out my hand and letting the black and crimson threads spill from my palm; Kalia, Camara, and Aethisia mirrored me, making Sari stiffen in shock behind me.
"All of us can see and touch the Weave, my love..."

You guys really went crazy with the character voting lol~
And Kalia's that popular?
A tad surprising, but I do enjoy the buxom Dark Elf nature lover as well~!
