“Yes, I too do not know why it is funny. It is true that she just came back.” Rudy added. They both looked like they were interested in what was going on, but they also didn’t know anyone that was here aside from myself.
“It’s alright, you two. What my brother said, me being out of this world, was a saying. It has many meanings. However, in this case, he was referring to me being a bit of a weirdo. However, I turned his words into a joke. That was all that it was about. Don’t worry, the longer that you are in this world, the more that you will be able to relate to our strange American English.”
“I think that, for a long time, I am going to be confused.” Alexio scratched the side of his head as he thought about it.
“I think that I understand it. It is not that hard when you just stop thinking about it too much. I think that I will be fine with all of it very soon, Queen Riviana.”
“That is good, Rudy.” I smiled at them. “Would the two of you like to relax a little, have someone bring you some food or something? You can take a shower and clean yourselves and put on some different clothes. Maybe something a little more modern and like our own.” At my words, the two men looked down at themselves and then up at the men in the room.
“We would not know how to do any of that.” Alexio was looking very upset now. I think he was regretting coming here.
“No worries. I will send some people with you to instruct you on what to do. You can learn from them and when you are ready, you can come back here to see me. I am sure that there is much that the three of us have to talk about.”
“W..would that be okay, Queen Riviana? I..it wouldn’t be inappropriate for us to visit with the Goddess Queen, would it?” Rudy was sounding worried and upset, sort of like Alexio had been.
“Yes, Rudy. It will be just fine. I brought you here with me, didn’t I? The two of you are my responsibility until you are able to navigate this world on your own. It will take a little bit of time, but I am sure that you will catch onto it all very soon. We will discuss all the options that the two of you have ahead of you when you come back to see me. Until then, I will have Peter, the head butler, find some men that are capable of helping you to find some clothes and to get you some rooms to stay in. Hey, Trevor, you’re a little shorter than Alexio, but other than that you are close to the same size, could you lend him some shorts and a shirt? Or does anyone know of a big and tall shop to get him something that fits him?”
“No worries, Riviana, I will just make clothes for him. He can tell me what style and type he prefers, and they will be in his room. The same goes for Mr. Rudy. If the two of you want to come with me, I will take you to meet with Peter.”
“Thank you, sir.”
“Much appreciated.” The two demons bowed their heads at him and followed after him.
“My name is Valerian. I want to thank you for helping Riviana. She is a dear family member of mine.” I heard Athair m貌r talking to the two of them as they all left the room.
“Alright, well now that Riviana is awake, I am sure that everyone wants to come and see her. We should start with the kids though.” Trevor looked at me with kind eyes and a happy smile. “I will have Eve, Wesley, Samuel and Lila bring them in. You know they won’t wait either.”
“Thank you, Trevor.” Joaquin nodded at him and wrapped his arms around me a little tighter. He was not about to let go of me. “Noah, can I ask you to please contact Griffin. Let him know that Riviana is awake.”
“Yeah, I will call him on my way to see Nikki and Elias.” He smiled and then looked me in the eyes. “I am really happy that you’re awake. I have been so worried about you, Riviana.”
“I know, Noah. And I am so sorry for having worried you.”
“You’re back now, and that is all that matters. But please, for the love of all that is decent in this world, never do something like that again.”
“Ha ha ha! Alright, I get it. I won’t go anywhere like that again.”
“Good..” I could tell that he wanted to hug me but I was in Joaquin’s arms so he just smiled and nodded before turning to leave the room with Trevor.

Joaquin and I were alone in the room now. Well, mostly alone.
Joaquin and I were on the bed and sitting there on the foot of the bed was Angel. She was sitting there and staring at the two of us and trying to figure out what to do. Or at least I thought that she was trying to figure that out.
“Well, there goes me kissing you.” Joaquin laughed. “I was hoping to be able to get a nice kiss in before the others get here.”
“You need Angel to leave?” The little child-like dragixie asked Joaquin.
“No, Angel, it’s fine. He was just joking.” I assured her. “Besides, I am sure that it won’t be long before there are more people here.”
“Hey, I was not joking. I wanted to kiss my wife, dammit. I’ve missed you, Little Bunny.” He pressed his face against my hair, and I could feel how much he was shaking. Was this happiness that I was back, or some other emotion that I wasn’t picking up on. Was it his frustration and sadness about the time that I had been gone? What was it that he was feeling right now? I couldn’t figure it out.
“OK. Angel will explore the room. That way Talia’s mommy and Talia’s daddy can be alone. Angel is not sad. Angel wants to explore this world. Angel has never been here for real before.”
Without saying anything else, the pink fluffy dragixie flapped its wings and shot across the room. It was now exploring my bedroom. Well, I didn’t mind too much, even though it totally felt like an invasion of privacy.
However, now that she had flown away and gone into my bathroom, it was an odd choice of place to explore but whatever, it was just Joaquin and I on the bed now. We were actually in the room alone now. And I knew what was going to be coming next.
“Riviana, my Little Bunny, you have no idea how great this feels. To have you in my arms again. To have this chance again after all these months that you were gone. It feels like I am whole again. While you weren’t here it had feet like a piece of me had been ripped out of my body and I couldn’t find it. It was an empty space that only you could fill. And now that you are back, now that you are in my arms again, I feel fully alive.”
“I know Joaquin. The entire time that I was gone, I felt like I was fractured and broken. There were so many missing pieces. You, Reagan, Rika, Talia, Mom, Dad, Lila, Grandfather, Noah, Nikki, Carter, Emmalee, Vincent, Dietrich, Shane, Shawn, David, Juniper, Paul, everyone. I was missing the people that made me feel like I was me.” Thinking about everyone that I had in my life, there were so many more that I could name. However, I went with the ones that I saw regularly. The people that were with me more often than most.
“Well, you’re back and all of us are here. They will see you soon. And for now, It’s just the two of us. And I was not lying when I said that I wanted to kiss my wife. Actually, it’s more than just me wanting to. I need to, Riviana. I need to kiss you. I need to feel your lips pressed against mine. I need to taste that delectable flavor of yours. Please, Little Bunny, please let me kiss you.” There was so much emotion in his voice that it nearly made me cry. How could I possibly tell him no?
“Yes, Joaquin, I want you to kiss me. I want you to show me that you missed me. That’s all that we can do right now, so please kiss me.”
“Thank you.” He sighed in relief as he slid his hand down to my waist.
With his grip on my waist, Joaquin adjusted me again. This time I was laying back in his arms. My head on the upper part of his bicep. It made it so that he just needed to lean over a little so that our lips could touch.
