Miss Queen B: Hello Dear Readers, I hope everyone is doing well and getting back to normal. Whatever that is. Lol. Anyway, I want to keep this short so Notes:
Note One: Due to very high demands, this is the sequel to my other one-shot "Raindrops" which was a joy to write about. Sadly, the story has gotten so long again, I had to divide it into two or possibly three chapters. Though I don't think that's a bad thing to hear to some of you readers. Also hopefully this rather charming story will make up for all the ruckus "Smoke" has caused. I want this story to bring laughter and Aww's not tears.
Note Two: So about this story, the first chapter is written in Scylla's POV and it starts out a little bit of background about her then her thoughts during the Fire Series and "Raindrops." It also shows why not only does her Kind don't believe in relationships and mates, but it also a personal opinion as well.
Rated M: for foul language, sexual topics, and adult humor. Enjoy.

We can't stop them from coming,
But we can choose which ones

By Unknown
He was leaning down with his eyes close without a shred of nervousness on his face. She wanted to giggle at his predicament. He was twice her height and size so he would have to rest down on his elbows and try not to hit her with those large tusks of his. If her best friend was here to see this, Kaiju knows she would never let her live it down. Mosura always told her she would never give up finding the "Best" male for her and apparently, this one fits the critique. Yet…
Did she feel the same way?
She was told the Sloth was smitten by her, but it could be one-sided...
As if time slowed down, she looked up to see the Sloth kaiju's face inching closer to hers and she didn't know whether to lean in or pull away.
How in the world did it come to this…..
She lost count how many times she told herself she never believe in relationships...

(Flashback)
It started with some exciting news she wanted to tell her new friend she met two years ago. The colorful moth she tried to eat for a night meal who ended up becoming her best friend. Her words actually, Scylla didn't think the moth called Mosura would see her as that, but whatever works, she did enjoy the company. The tiny moth would come visit her and her pack every couple of days to check up on her well being. She would make fun of her sometimes since Mosura was so tiny and delicate and was never a violent kaiju to begin with, and would tell her she will always be there for her no matter what. If anything, Scylla should be the one protecting her and most of the time she does. She lost count how many times Mosura would put herself in danger due to her curiosity and lack of common sense. Normally she wouldn't put up with such nonsense, but something about her presence always brings a warm, happy vibe to anyone who would allow her to come near. Plus she adores that sweet, pure innocence stuff Mosura had that you don't see anymore in a world where the strong live and the weak perish. For a while she didn't know how her tiny friend survived this long till she told her about her weird egg cycle. Saying, she can live forever as long as there's an egg for her to come back in. Scylla thought she was crazy till one day, the moth came back as a larva and she watched her cocoon and live once again in her full form.
You're going to be a mother? Mosura said with big eyes and a huge smile on her face. How exciting!
Scylla nodded, Yes indeed, but don't get yourself all worked up over it. I haven't even laid my eggs yet.
I know, but to be a first time mother must be something, right? She asked.
Actually, I had eggs before so it's not that big of a deal.
Oh,...still this is great, I can't wait to meet the little hatchling.
Hatchlings….I can lay up to a hundred eggs in one pregnancy.
Wow, Scylla, I have a hard time with one egg, but that many….you and your mate are going to have a claw-ful with a hundred.
Um….Mosura…
So where is the lucky male? Here I thought you were having a hard time finding someone which is hard to believe since you are so sweet and lovely. Twirling around in circles as if she was trying to find the male squid kaiju. For a moment, Scylla didn't have the heart to tell her, the male already left after doing his part of the breeding ritual. Once she picks the male she wanted to breed with he would only stay till they can sense her pregnancy (plus, making sure no other male sires her hatchlings) before leaving to find another willing female.
Mosura...settle down.
She stayed quiet, What?
Scylla shook her head and smiled. Before you start getting so giddy, I need to tell you that my kind don't believe in mates. We're Breeders.
Breeders? She asked.
Yes, while others have mates and stay together for life, we just breed to make strong, healthy, hatchings.
Her wings drooped causing her to lower herself to the ground and she frowned. So you didn't meet a nice male and fall in love…
Scylla rolled her eyes, I swear, Mosura, ever since you spotted that lizard kaiju, your aspect of love is getting very annoying.
Her friend blushed for bringing up the lizard kaiju. A while back, Scylla was getting a little worried when Mosura hadn't showed up to see her in months till finally out of the blue, she appeared with this little warm smile on her face. Apparently, she came across a kaiju that made her heart skip a beat. She then started to tell her about how she got into a fight with said kaiju and ended with her poisoning him before he snapped her neck killing her instantly. Her egg was on an island so she had to wait till she was in her adult form again to fly across the ocean, but instead of coming over here to see her, her friend took off to find the kaiju and couldn't help, but feel smitten. Don't get her wrong, Scylla was happy that Mosura found a male that sparked her interest till she told her who the male was. That one lone lizard kaiju that roams around the lands and if you were smart enough to stay away from. She heard stuff about him like how he was exiled from his own kind and was born mutated and cruel. He was bad news, but Mosura said she saw something in those golden eyes that said otherwise.
How is falling in love so annoying? She asked, Surely you like the male enough to..um...breed with?
No, not really, I just know from another female, he gave her strong hatchlings during our last breeding cycle. So I tracked him down before she went after him again.
You make it sound so simple.
Because it is. Why would it be so hard?
Well...I don't know….I see kaijus search far and wide to find that perfect mate for them to settle down and spawn offsprings, but with your kind it doesn't matter as long as they can provide eggs.
There's more to it than that, my friend. I make sure the male I pick is flawless so I can have healthy hatchlings.
But when it comes to a mate, you should accept their perfection and their flaws. She said.
Perhaps, but I'm glad I don't have to worry about that. That's the best part about being a breeder, you can skip all the drama and tiring stuff of a relationship.
That might be fine with you, but I want to explore a relationship. She said, with this dreamy eye look. It didn't take Scylla long to figure out who was on her little friend's mind. She would never say it out loud, but she finds Mosura's taste in males rather disgusting.
Then I suggest you look into finding another suitor because there's no way you'll ever get that lizard kaiju to see you for who you are….
00000000
~So, by keeping her heart protected.
She'd never ever feel rejected
Little miss apprehensive
Said ohh, she fell in love…~
She was surprised Mosura didn't slap her for all the times she would belittle her about the lizard kaiju because after years (many many years) of ups and downs, drama, one heartbreak and a last chance, the Fat Lizard courted her tiny friend to be his forever. Scylla was more upset with herself since she was the one who encouraged Mosura to track him down as that last ditch effort to give her heart to him because she didn't think he would take it. Mosura told her in secret that he was a complete mess when she found him and when she was about to leave, he asked her, desperately, to stay with him. When she met him for the first time, it was not a happy greeting. She simply didn't like him and he didn't care what she thought of him, but wanted her to know firmly that he was part of Mosura's life now so she needed to "knock off her bitchy attitude and deal with it."
For Mosura's sake, she tried to get her to break it off with him, but Mosura stood her ground, so she backed off and waited to see the courtship fall apart by itself. Surely it wouldn't take that long since the Fat Lizard was incapable of loving her friend the way she needed to be. The one good thing about this relationship was it sure distracted Mosura from nipping at her about finding an actual male companion instead of just another breeder. It wasn't till Mosura came back to help her with her newborn hatchlings when she realized how much the Fat Lizard did care for the moth. The first realization was by accident when she woke up in the middle of the night due to heavy footsteps and sneaky giggles.
It was one of those rare nights when all her hatchlings were fast asleep and she thought she could catch up on some as well when she heard the giggles. She opened one of her eyes and stayed perfectly still because she couldn't believe what she was seeing in front of her. Her nest was very far away from the coast, but she can still see her friend tugging the Fat Lizard by the arm over towards the water.
Please...Mosura whispered.
Someone will see...The Fat Lizard growled back though he wasn't stopping her from making him follow her.
They're all asleep and we haven't had some alone time since we got here. She purred while rubbing her mouth against his snout.
Taking a few steps into the water, he pulled his arm away from her and huffed, And who's fault is that? You're the one who wanted to come here and help out.
Yes, but that doesn't mean we can't use this break to enjoy one another. She whispered. What better way than floating around in the ocean.
You just want to float on my stomach again. He said, slyly.
It is very comfortable and I don't recall you complaining the last time when we first connected.
He let out a small snort and looked away obviously embarrassed by her statement. For a second, she thought he was going to leave her there, but instead he just rolled his eyes and went deeper into the water with his tail wagging. Can I get a show again? He asked with a grin big enough to see all his teeth.
Did she even want to see what this "Show" he was talking about? Scylla wondered, but still kept her eyes on the couple. Mosura giggled again and flew further away from the shoreline with the Fat Lizard following her. He disappeared into the water for a minute with Mosura flying above with her wings glowing bright and blue before returning to the surface floating on his back. Scylla never thought she would witness them interacting this way. Normally, the Fat Lizard would just stay away from her pack and watch Mosura mingle with her, her hatchlings and the other squid kaijus so this was new to see. A part of her should be going back to sleep since this is her friend and she respects her privacy, but was compelled to see what Mosura saw in the brute. Part of her just didn't get it with the colorful moth. She was beautiful, rare, kind and has so much to give that Scylla had suitors flocking over to her to ask about her friend and see what were the chances of courting her.
There were so many, many better options for her, but she was too blinded by the Fat Lizard to notice. Some of those suitors thought she was messing with them when she told them Mosura picked Him out of all the males out there. They couldn't believe it, but were smart enough not to challenge her decision with those golden eyes glaring at them. She snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Mosura's sweet little giggles again and turned her attention back to the water. She did a double take when she saw Mosura lying down on his chest while nuzzling his cheeks with her own. So much for hiding since the affection was making the Fat Lizard's plates glow in the water. What surprised her the most was him returning the affection making Mosura's wings flare up high and fluttering. She quickly looked away when their mouths touched and the Fat Lizard's claws started to roam her friend's body. She closed her eyes and tried very hard to fall back asleep hoping to get rid of that image.
The second time was when he finally gained her respect. She loves her friend, they were like sisters in her eyes, but she can be naive sometimes. Down right stupid on her worse days and this was one of those days. She took off to confront another female that was after the Fat Lizard's affection. Seriously? There were other females out there that find this kaiju attractive? Was there something in the water she wasn't aware of? Anyway, pissed off, the Fat Lizard went after her only to return with her friend cut up and bleeding badly. He found the female in question choking Mosura to death till he intervened. While he bathed himself in the water to get rid of the blood and festering mood, Mosura told her, the Fat Lizard killed the female by snapping her neck after giving her so many warnings to back off. What happened next is probably one of the many reasons she was glad Breeders don't believe in relationships or mates. The two fought and they were loud and violent when it came to words. He was pissed for her going over there and putting her life in danger knowing there was no egg yet and she was mad because if he cared so much why hasn't their relationship gone any further and actually accused him of stringing her along. Oh her friend picks the worst time to bring personal things up and she found herself stuck in the middle of their wild and odd relationship.
For decades, she would watch their relationship grow and they were put through a lot of tests. Mostly, Gojira getting himself in trouble when it comes to defending his title or nearly getting himself killed over and over again by the Fallen Star till finally he was able to trap the three headed thing in ice and soon, they were long forgotten. Or so she thought…..

~What is the feeling taking over?
Thinking no one could open my door?
Surprise, it's time
To feel what's real.
What happened to Miss Independent?
No more the need to be defensive
Goodbye, old you when love is true..~
When she first met HIM, he found her in a very odd position. She thought she was losing her mind when she woke up to a horrible sound. Oh that sound, the Alpha's call, was making her head hurt so badly she could feel her skull cracking. It was horrible and she didn't understand why the Alpha would want her to rise up and destroy everything on site. Why would he do this and why would her friend, the Queen, allow this to happen. Either way, she tried to fight it as she was compelled to enter one giant city after another and demolish it to the ground. Those poor humans tried to fight her, but nothing could crack her shell or hard skin. After a day of smashing buildings and hearing those human's cries of agony, she finally had enough and forced herself to stay in one place and fight the sound. She thought if she hit her head hard enough she would knock herself out cold and keep her from doing anymore harm so she did. Every building that was still standing she would ram her head into it not even caring her face and tentacles were getting cut up and bleeding. She just wanted the sound to stop. It was then she heard heavy footsteps and managed to pull herself out of the building to see a large sloth kaiju standing there getting drench in the rain with a rather confused look on his face.
She cried out in pain. Telling him she couldn't handle the sound anymore and rammed her head into another building. What she didn't expect was him trying to get her to calm down because the more she fights the sound the worse it's going to get. It was hard to calm down when you feel like your head was about to explode, but that didn't stop him from trying. In the end, out of the blue, the sound stopped and before she could faceplant the ground, the sloth was kind enough to catch her with his tusks. When her head finally cleared up, she took a step back in fear from the much bigger beast. Those Sloth kaijus are known to be large boulder-like mammals. They travel in groups and if you're stupid enough to get in their way they will crush you with their large feet and claws. Their tusks are used to throw or stab their opponents and if that didn't work, one punch with their powerful arms will knock you out cold for days. Standing more than a hundred feet taller than her, he looked down at her with a gentle smile.
He was polite and if she wasn't in a bad mood she would've been ok with him calling her "My Dear" or "My Sweet."
She wanted to pay attention to his stories, she really did and tried, but her head was hurting and she needed to know if the Queen was awake as well and know what's going on. Luckily for her, the sloth kaiju known as Behemoth was too busy talking away to even notice her not paying attention. They've been walking all night in this harsh weather looking for other kaijus or the King and Queen. Something just didn't feel right and she realized that when she saw a giant ball of fire falling from the sky. Behemoth being kind as always told her they didn't have to go over there especially after seeing the False King (alive and well no less) flying towards the falling thing, but she needed to find her friend because if the False King was here no doubt the King was close by as well as the Queen. She just hoped the Queen was smart enough not to get in the way this time.
There was another loud explosion followed by a very familiar cry and she felt a cold chill running down her body….
0000000000
After the False King's invasion, everything went back to normal...somewhat. The sad realization that she was the only one of her kind who survived the ever-changing world and her friend was dead once again made her already broken mind break even more. The False King's calling really did something to her head and the need to rest to recover was the only thing she wanted to do for now. The first thing was to find a nest that was far away from those humans and other kaijus since she didn't really know them enough to trust them near her. The Muto had no class, the one called Rodan ran off and good riddance if you asked her. How dare he attack the Queen, but alas even though he deserves some sort of punishment she knew the Queen wouldn't allow it if she was still alive. She and the King never got along and always kept his distance from her whenever he could so she didn't have to worry about him. The rock kaiju was already asleep so all that was left was the Sloth one.
She was about to leave the damaged city till Behemoth offered her company once again on her journey in this new world. It was a nice offer, really it was, but she didn't know him and didn't want to anyway so she declined. For more than a year and a half she slept to recover from the sudden wake up and the strange things the False King did to her head. Sadly, the sloth kaiju never crossed her mind throughout her slumber or when she woke up because apparently there were bigger issues to address first.
She always told herself if the King and Queen ever split up it would no doubt be the King's fault, but boy, was she wrong. Very wrong indeed. She was shocked to see the King at her nest in some sort of dazed and confused trance and when he finally snapped out of it he told her about the Queen lying and cheating ways…..wait…...the Queen….cheating?! What in the world?! She didn't want to believe. Even after she gave him some advice (which she knew he probably won't use) and watched him leave to confront the Queen, she really thought maybe it was a misunderstanding. She would never do such a thing. It was supposed to be him making horrible mistakes not her. She still didn't believe it till she got a distress signal from her friend herself saying she needed her to find her egg and protect it at all cost. Something very bad happened between the King and the fire demon and shamefully, she was the one who caused it all.
Once again, her friend needed her, but it brought a lot of drama with it no less and she was once again stuck in the middle of the King and Queen's squabbles. Though she wouldn't call it a squabble, their relationship was on thin ice because her friend got involved with another kaiju, the Fire Demon no less, the very same one the King hated for trying to kill her during the False King's ruling. Mosura told her in detail what happened during the last year and a half. Her King was acting strange, something weird was going on his head and didn't want her to help him for some reason thus putting a huge strain on their relationship. He ended up abandoning her and during that time of loneliness and pain she sparked up a friendship with Rodan of all kaijus. Although the King returned and they tried to put the pieces of their relationship back together, she couldn't let the fire demon go and neither could he. Rodan ended up falling for her and unbelievably Mosura ended up falling for his flirty (dangerous) charm and there you go, she did the unthinkable to her King.
She never thought she would be in this situation where she would have to protect Mosura's egg from her beloved King, but Msoura was terrified. The King, no doubt blinded by sheer anger and betrayal, told her once he was done with Rodan, he was going to send her back to her egg and smash it. When she found the egg behind a waterfall, it was glowing bright and bouncing around from so much distress Mosura was under. She had to reassure the Queen there was no way her King would ever want to kill her permanently, but that assumption was thrown out when he did show up with severe wounds to his neck and blood leaking down his chest. He told her to move with determination in his exhausting eyes. Horrified by that look, he was really here to kill the Queen once and for all. Angry, she stood her ground, making sure he didn't come near the egg and threatened to reopen those wounds on his gills if he took another step. Telling him he should be ashamed for ever thinking this was the perfect solution for her mistakes knowing the thousands of times the Queen forgave him for all the crap he put her through. She was surprised he retreated and told her he will wait just like she was doing now. Boy, what a mess.
It was a lot to handle after everything that happened between those three and it wasn't getting better. The King was being stubborn and basically shut the Queen out while she tried to fix things with him. The Muto got involved and just wanted to see how much more trouble she can cause to this already fragile relationship. Rodan was still having a hard time letting the Queen go and would go to her for information which she firmly declined. There were a few times she thought she was going to lose it and just wanted to slap those two males in the face for putting so much stress on the Queen. She wanted to tell Rodan to leave and never come back because despite what happened between him and the Queen, the Queen did NOT love him that way, get it to your thick skull she did NOT feel anything towards you, but regret and shame. She wanted to tell the King to stop being so stubborn and talk things out with the Queen. Once again, she questioned her friend's taste in males and found them both rude, disgusting and morons.
She will never understand their relationship and again was glad her kind didn't believe in it. It was simply too much drama to handle and even though her friend and her King worked things out in the end and now have a hatchling on the way, she would never envy Mosura's life. Dealing with their ups and downs was enough to make her want to drown herself even though she can breath under water. It left Rodan an emotional mess she actually felt sorry for him (very little. He tried to play victim, but it takes two to have an affair and she knew right off back he was the one who seduced the Queen) The Muto won't leave her alone and just biding her time for revenge no matter how many times she warned her. But at least things between the royal couple are better now. She had to give credit to the King for forgiving the Queen and giving her a second chance. Even more so for getting her friend pregnant after the little personal secrets Mosura told her about.
It wasn't until a visit to the so-called Amazon Rainforest when Mosura started to bring up "Male companionship" again and here she thought she had forgotten all about it….

~Miss guarded heart. Miss play it smart
Miss if you want to use that line you better not start, no
But she miscalculated
She didn't want to end up jaded
And this miss decided not to miss out on true love..~
It was a normal day in her mind although the Muto was being stubborn and nearly hit her a few times for trying to examine her eye. Sure enough she was slapped in the face followed by the vile female hissing at her.
Stop touching it! Muto shouted while crouching further down to the ground.
You're the one who wanted me to examine it in the first place. Scylla said, already feeling the painful pulse on her face. Now hold still.
The Muto huffed and tilted her head up so she could look at her injured eye….well….no eye to be exact. Taking a direct hit from the King's blast literally melted the eye away and left a gaping hole with melted flesh all around. Does it still hurt? She asked.
The Muto shook her head and pouted.
Now we're pouting? You have no right to be mad since you brought this upon yourself. Scylla said, like a mother talking to her offspring.
The Muto huffed, He couldn't take a dumb joke. It's not my fault he acts like he has a stick up his ass all the time!
I don't think making a move on him would be considered a joke. Scylla said, dully.
She laughed, I don't care what he said, he enjoyed my little smooch.
Disgusted, Scylla pokes the Muto's eye wound hard with one of her tentacles causing the parasite to scream. I'm sorry, did that hurt?
You did that on purpose, you rotten bitch!
Calm down, at least we know you can still feel on that side of your face. She said, then noticed the Muto losing all her color in her body. What's wrong?
Taking a few steps back, the Muto shook her head. Nothing….I'm going to go…..grab something to eat. Yeah, eating sounds great…..bye.
She was about to go after her due to her strange behavior till she heard the Queen's voice from behind her. Turning around she could see the Queen waving at her from the ocean. She was nestled safely in the King's spikes as the couple continued their way over to her home. Walking over to the shoreline she waited as the King crawled out of the ocean water till he was lying down on the ground and tilted his body to the side so the Queen could crawl off of him gently. She was surprised to see them here, no wonder the Muto left in a hurry which is a good thing since it looked like the King was already scanning her home for her.
Scylla! The Queen shouted in joy and hugged one of her long legs.
Dear Queen, this is a surprise. She said then giggled. And here I thought you couldn't get any bigger?
Her friend blushed while running a claw down her large stomach. Yeah, that makes two of us. I can barely move anymore. The only thing I do nowadays is eat and sleep.
Scylla couldn't help, but laugh and looked over at the King. I'm sure the Dear King can give you a few pointers on those two subjects.
The King looked at her then slowly spread a wicked grin on his face. Just to let you know, I told Mosura I was against what she's about to say, but I'm just going to sit here and enjoy the show now.
Confused, she looked back at her very heavy pregnant friend. Well, somebody is in a good mood, should I be worried.
Oh, don't mind him. He just loves putting kaiju's on the spot like that. The Queen said, giving her King a small glare.
Ok, so what's so important that you had to come over here. I thought you didn't like coming here due to bad circumstances with the Muto.
She giggled, the same kind of giggle she would do when she knows some juicy gossip. Well, you see, yesterday we went by the Amazon Rainforest so I can get some more of those delicious plants-
You BOTH went there? That's saying something knowing Ro- She quickly cut off her sentence when she saw the King glaring at her and no doubt if she brought up the Fire Demon's name she too will be missing an eye. Um, yeah, so I take it the plants are helping you keep your energy up?
The Queen cleared her throat, Yes, they are, but anyway, we had a very interesting discussion with Behemoth and well….you remember Behemoth right?
She noticed the King was trying very hard to hold back his snickering by looking away and covering his mouth with his claws. Of course, the male is quite a chatterbox so it's hard not to. Why?
Oh she remembers him alright. He would talk nonstop when they were heading towards the False King that one stormy night then again when she had to retrieve Mosura after her little faint spell above the ocean. She recalled him happy to see her, but she ignored him because she was too busy yelling at Rodan for trying to intrude in her friend's life again. Then again when she was making sure Rodan kept his distance when he and Mosura were talking. The only thing she can remember about the Sloth was him being polite and was a little off with him saying he was hoping to see her again.
Mosura started to blush a little and couldn't help, but be a little giddy. The King rolled his eyes from the Queen's silly behavior. Apparently, you made quite an impression on him. You can say he's very smitten about you. She said then started to giggle a little.
Ok, as flattering as that sound, I guess, there's no reason for you to come all this way to tell me this.
I think it is because he even went as far as asking for my permiss-
If you want this to run smoothly, my Queen, I wouldn't bring that up. The King said while looking out at nothing in particular.
Really? Why not? I thought it was the most romantic thing I've ever heard. Well... second next to our courtship by the waterf-
Mosura! The King shouted so she wouldn't finish her sentence.
Scylla rolled her eyes because she knew how the two interact playfully. If the King wanted to say some sly remark, she can easily counter suit with her own way to embarrass him. Yes, I really don't need to know about that, my friend.
Pardon me for that, I've been feeling so emotional lately, I'm pretty sure I'm driving everyone crazy. The Queen said, with a nervous smile.
I have no way to answer that so I tend to keep my mouth shut. The King muttered to himself.
Anyway, Behemoth went on and on about how you two met during the False King's invasion and how he helped you out in a sticky situation.
If you called being controlled by the False King a "sticky situation" then yeah, you could say he helped me out with it. Scylla said, remembering that day.
Wow, you had the False King in your mind for one whole day, that must've been rough. The King said, sarcastically.
She can so easily say something distasteful to him, but didn't want to upset her friend in her condition. At least she didn't run off and left the Queen vulnerable for another male to come in. The Queen cleared her throat, Moving on, Behemoth asked me personally to put in a good word for him to you. And is really hoping you would go see him again for some delightful conversations and a meal. Doesn't that sound romantic. She said with a big smile while the King rolled his eyes.
Scylla started to laugh nervously, that poor male. Does he know how much time and energy he wasted on this situation. Well, I'm glad you told him no on that or else I would be very upset right now.
The Queen shut her mouth and the King started to snicker. I told you this was going to be a bad idea.
Oh no, she didn't. Not again. Yet, sure enough she saw that look the Queen would do when she did something without asking for her permission. Mosura, don't tell me you said I would go over there?
The Queen looked over at the King and he shook his head, Leave me out of this. You're on your own.
Mosura….
He's a very nice kaiju, Scylla, how could I say no when he asked so nicely and full of charm.
Easy, by saying no because you know I don't do relationships! Scylla hissed.
He just wants to talk to you. I didn't see it as a big deal. He really likes you.
Oh, and you didn't think asking me first was a big deal? How could you do such a thing? I'm your best friend, don't my feelings count for something!
Now, now, Scylla, remember stress can hurt the hatchling or something like that. The King smirked.
She wanted to tell him to shut up and that he got the quote wrong, but she knew her place when it comes to him and unlike her friend, he takes his title seriously and will not tolerate being disrespected no matter how badly he deserved it.
Please don't push her like that, my King. The Queen said before turning back to her. Scylla, of course your feelings matter, that's why I thought it would be a good idea to give this meeting a chance. He really wants to see you-
I don't CARE if he does. How many times do I have to tell you I'm not looking for male companionship! He's not even the same species as I am.
He's a male full of seed that's pretty much what you're after right? The King grinned so wide all his teeth were showing.
SHUT UP! She hissed. So much for knowing her place.
He started to growl, You're lucky she's here or else I-
Stop, stop, I don't want you two to start fighting! The Queen said, trying to get up from her sitting position.
You're the one who started it. Scylla shouted. She was so mad and extremely embarrassed from the whole situation She couldn't believe her friend would set her up like this. She barely knew the male for crying out loud.
I'm not trying to upset you, but he's kind of expecting you to meet him soon so if you can do this one little favor-
No-
But he would be extremely upset if you don't show up-
Again, I don't care-
But Scylla-
Can you please, just….leave...Scylla said, not wanting to say anything else she would regret.
Oh, don't be this way. We're friends, I don't want to fight.
She kneels to them before turning away. Then I'll leave. She said, taking off.
Normally, she would go down to the ocean floor to collect sea critters, but with the King blocking her path with his fat-self she might as well go in land and blow off some steam. She could still hear the Queen calling out to her and the King making a sly remark about the Sloth having a horrible taste in females.

~So, by changing her misconceptions
She went in a new direction
And found inside she felt a connection
She fell in love..~
I can't believe you're still fuming after so many days, it's getting on my nerves. She heard the Muto say from behind her.
Shifting around in her nest so she can face the Muto, Scylla huffed. It's just absurd, you would think after saying no over and over again, she would get it that I don't do "Male companionship."
Well, I don't see the big deal. You should be grateful for a male to find you attractive enough. I mean come on, you're not exactly nice to look at. The Muto said, with a sly grin.
The parasite should be lucky she was a lovely kaiju or else she would have plucked out the other eye. Well, coming from you, you think everything is ugly.
Because it's true. Muto said, sitting down next to her. You and I both know looks don't matter when it comes to breeding. It's all about healthy eggs. So for a male to see you for your "lovely" personally is saying a lot.
Why am I even talking to you about this anyway? Scylla asked.
Because I'm bored and I think this whole thing is funny. I wish I was there to see the look on your face. Or even better I wish I was there to see the look on that Pile of fur's face when he realized you stood him up. She snickered.
Must you be so mean about it. She asked.
Yes, because next to "flawless" Queen, you're just as nice and boring as she is. And now look, she goes off to have an affair and you are no doubt breaking that poor guy's heart. I mean I call you a bitch just to be mean, but never thought you could actually be one.
She was about to jab that wound on her face again with her claw when they heard something landing close by them. They turned their attention over to the source to see Rodan lifting his head up while folding his wings in. Oh great what did he want?
Rodan, what brings you here? She asked, stepping away from the Muto who was also giving the firebird a weird look.
I need to talk to you about- He took a quick glance over at the Muto and nearly choked on his words. Holy shit! What the hell happened to your eye.
The Muto growled, Save it! I don't need your pity, you son of a bitch!
Scylla shook her head, Well, that's what happened when you pissed off the King, my friend.
Rodan's grin spread really wide. And you say I make stupid mistakes, so what did you do to piss off the brute? Step on his tail? Made wisecracks about the Queen to him?
Really, Rodan? She thought. You're going go point out her dumb mistake knowing the stuff you did behind the King's back. She huffed, No, much worse, she, for some twisted reason, tried to seduce the King…
The Muto gave her a very ugly look and no doubt called her every horrible name in her head. On the other hand, Scylla's mood just dampened more. Thanks to him she is going to have to hear about it non-stop all over again. While they were swapping insults at each other, she went back to that day when she returned home to see the Muto rolling around in the dirt while moaning in pain. Once again her home was destroyed from the parasite thrashing around while the smell of cooked flesh hung in the air. It took her awhile to calm her down so she could take a look at the damage on her face. Sure enough the eye was completely gone, literally melted into nothing while leaving a shallow hole on her face. The only thing that came into mind was how stupid the Muto was for going after the King in a sexual way. Did she really think he would submit to it because of what happened with the Queen. The Queen would tell her how the King never likes anyone to touch him, even going as far to say it took him a while to even let her have some physical contact, so for the Muto to try it was just asking for a severe punishment like that.
Plus, trying to convince the King the egg the Queen was carrying could probably be Rodan's pretty much seal her fate for the brutal wound. Why on earth would she stoop that low knowing the King and his temper and how delicate the situation is, she'll never know. Probably just a sad attempt to start up something for the royal couple in hopes to shatter their healing relationship.
Her thoughts were cut short when Rodan said a sly remark causing the Muto to go after him. Not wanting her home destroyed once again, she got in between them and used her front legs to push them away from each other. Why does everyone want to destroy my home! She asked, then looked over at Rodan. Rodan if you are here to start trouble then I want you to leave!
I'm not! I'm just here to talk to you about Behemoth.
Oh kaiju, not this topic again. The name alone is just making her bad mood worse every second. With that in mind, she gestured to him to walk with her so the parasite wouldn't interfere with their conversation. She could hear the Muto snorting, I don't know why you walk away from me, it's not like I don't know what's going on. Geez!
When they were far enough, she didn't give Rodan any time to say something. Look, there's nothing to talk about, Rodan. I already had a spat about it with Mosura over the same topic and unnecessary taunts from the King, so what makes you think you can do better?
He gave her a sly smirk. Something Mosura once told her it was his way to say, "Is that a challenge?" For one thing, My Mosura is too kind to be blunt, but I'm not so what the hell!?
What the hell what? She asked then jerked back a bit from the pet name. Wait, did you say my-
He's a nice kaiju and I should know because he puts up with my antics on a daily basis now without losing his temper. I don't think I've ever seen him get mad or upset since bumping into him. Surely, he's a lot better to talk to than with that disgusting thing over there. He said, pointing at the Muto behind her.
I heard that, you twit! The Muto shouted back.
What's your point? She asked.
And he made his point. She had to give the firebird some credit when it comes to persuasion especially when he told her that the sloth kaiju has been waiting for her to show up day after day after day and that thanks to her, the very optimistic gentlemale was becoming very depressed. She had to admit she was stunned to see the softer side of Rodan that Mosura would talk about once in a while. He acted like he really cared about the older kaiju, but still there was no need to be pushy about it and he didn't have to call her a stuck-up B word.
Scylla shook her head and sigh, You're not going to leave me alone till I agree right?
Nope, plus how can you say no to this face? He said, putting on a big smile with his teeth shining thanks to the sun. No one can resist this smile.
Riiiiight. She said. Yet she's not naive with colorful wings. Alright, I'll go see him, but you better make it clear to him this is a one time visit. No more.
You know I said the same thing to myself and now look at me. He said.
They stared at each for a minute till Rodan gestured to her with his wings to head out. Well?
You want me to leave now? Scylla asked.
He's been waiting far too long already and I'm tired of seeing him sulking so yes!
I'm sure he can wait a little while long-
For fuck sake Scylla, just go so the Asshole can leave! The Muto shouted.
Fine! I'm going! Scylla shouted back and stormed her way to the ocean with the firebird following her.
0000000000
~What is the feeling taking over?
Thinking no one could open my door.
Surprise, it's time
To feel what's real.
What happened to Miss Independent?
NO more the need to be defensive
Goodby, old you when love is true…~
She blinked and she found herself back where it all started. With Behemoth leaning down to her and her wondering if she should pull away or not. She did her good deed for today, she came over to have a friendly chit chat with the Sloth and her plan was to stay for a little bit, say her good-bye and never speak of this day ever again. However, she didn't expect to stay till nightfall or her enjoying his polite and friendly manner and sense of humor. A drastic change from what she was used to hearing if she thought about it. He was actually mature unlike those idiots (Rodan, Muto and Dear King) who find yelling, cursing and profanity appealing.
Part of her did feel a little flatter because she was able to brighten up Behemoth's day and he was very forgiving about her not showing up sooner, but still seeing a male in another way beside breeding is way out of her comfort zone. It's just unnatural to her species. She realized that when she got up to leave since it was night and he got up with her. The surroundings had to have a romantic vibe to it with it being night and the moon shining down on them. She did like the smell of fresh fallen rain and how everything glistened around them thanks to the raindrops and he did look silly being drenched that his fur was matted with water dripping off.
That's when their eyes locked and he started to lean down towards her causing her tentacles to curl up a bit. He was so close…
I better get going. She said, taking a few steps back. Her front leg hitting the side of his left large tusk.
He gave her a rather confused look before picking himself up from his kneeling position and clear his throat. I figured you were so normally, a gentlemale would give their lady guest a kiss on the claw or cheek. He said with a little smile on his face.
That's nice and all, but it's not necessary. She said.
Taking a few more steps back, she lowered her head, feeling embarrassed all of a sudden. Shoot, was this what Mosura felt like when having a large male look down at her and feeling so shy and helpless. Goodness, was her cheeks heating up from this tension.
My apology, just a habit, I didn't mean to offend you in any way. He said, in a soft whisper.
Well, I wouldn't say it's a bad habit, it just threw me off a little. She said, looking in every direction, but him.
They felt a large gust of wind and she looked up to see Rodan flying by before disappearing into the gray clouds again. While annoyed because she felt like she was being watched, Behemoth just chuckled. Poor Fellow, I bet he's ready to sleep, but just waiting for us to finish our time together.
Yeah, well, it was nice to talk to you, but I feel like I overstayed my welcome. I'll be going now. She said, taking off towards the open ocean. No doubt not going to hear the end of it from the Muto and if Mosura found out about this….
Don't ever feel like you overstay your welcome, my Dear. Like I said, you always brighten my day. She heard him say behind her.
She wished he didn't say that because again this was only a one time meet up and she already felt bad making him wait for so long. You're sweet. She said.
There was silence before he spoke again. I would love to see you again, if you don't mind.
She looked back at him and that hopeful face. She felt bad for him since she told herself this was not a repeated event, but she didn't have to heart to tell him that. I...don't see why not.
He smiled, Don't feel compelled to do so. That last thing I want is for you to feel uncomfortable being around me.
I wasn't uncomfortable, I really did have a good time, it's just…
He shook his head and bow. No need to explain yourself, my sweet. It's up to you if you want to come back. I have all the time in the world to wait since you gave me a chance to know you better now.
She nodded and headed back into the ocean to head home. For the first time being underwater she felt like she couldn't breathe.
000000000
~When Miss Independence walked away
No time for love that came her way
She looked in the mirror and thought today
What happened to miss no longer afraid
It took some time for her to see
How beautiful love could truly be
No more talk of why can't that be me
I'm so glad I finally see…~
It only took a few days before wanting to go back over there to see him (plus the Muto was getting on her nerves for wanting to know every detail that went on over there between them. She acted like she went over there to do the deed with the older kaiju. She swears the Muto had no manners whatsoever), but before she went over there, she needed to make a quick stop at the Queen's home and apologize for the little spat they had.
It took a while to get over there since she was taking her time to come up with an apology speech, but when she did she didn't expect to see Dear King resting in the shallow part of the ocean while watching the Queen sleeping on some oval shaped rock? When she resurfaced completely out of the water, those golden eyes shifted over to her and the King snorted.
Didn't think I would see you here? He said with a raised brow.
She sighed while bowing to him so show respect. I wanted to check up on Mosura.
Where were you yesterday, you would've saved me the horrible stuff I saw while she was laying my egg. He said, shaking his head from the memory.
Her eyes grew wide. She laid her egg yesterday! Why didn't she contact me?!
She didn't want to disturb you due to your little hissy fit a while back. He said, And by the way, thanks for that, I had to deal with her crying afterwards.
I wasn't throwing a hissy fit. Scylla said, but quickly stopped herself from saying anything further. She had no room to talk knowing her little date she had with Behemoth, if you could even call it that. Would a congratulation make you feel better for my behavior. She asked.
He smirked like the stupid egoistic lizard he is, It's a start.
She huffed and laid down in the water across from him and looked back at Mosura who was sleeping so peacefully with a smile on her face. So the round rock was actually her egg and wow, she didn't think she would see the day her best friend would have a hatchling. So many memories of Mosura being the one coming by her nest with some much happiness and super giddiness for the arrival of her hatchlings and helping her out once they hatched. Even more entertaining when she started to drag the King into it and the cheap thrill of watching her hatchlings make his visit not so pleasant. Calling the lizard lumpy while crawling all over him and biting him any chance they get, she never encouraged them to do so, but didn't stop them either. She let out a small snicker.
What in the world is so funny? The King asked.
Pardon me, but it's just wonderful to see her with a full egg. I mean she always told me she didn't need to have hatchlings since she can live forever.
Well, don't know what to tell you, life had a different plan for us, I guess. He said while making his tail wag.
She snickered to herself. And How are you feeling about this? I mean, you always said you didn't want any…
He stared at her unamused, Like I would really discuss things like that with you.
I'm just killing time till she wakes up and you're the only one here, so…
He didn't waste time crawling over to the Queen and slightly tapping her with his snout. I hate to wake you my Queen, but you have a visitor and she's already annoying me.
She gave him a look, but quickly turned her attention to the Queen who was slowly waking up while the King backed away from her to give her time and space. She blinked a couple of times before lifting herself up on all six limbs to stretch. She looked behind her to examine her egg when the King snorted to get her attention.
The egg is fine, my Queen. No activity yet.
She turned around and made eye contact with her and she put on a nervous smile.
How long was I out? Mos ura asked, tiredly.
For a day. The King said, smirking. You were out like water on fire after laying our egg.
With the egg that big, I'm not surprised she was out that long. She said with a nervous chuckle, but quickly shut her mouth when the royal couple didn't join in. Boy, they can really make a kaiju feel so small and tense. As if feeling the tension, the King cleared his throat. If you are going to be alright for a bit, I was going to take an afternoon swim.
In other words, he just wanted to get the heck out of here in case she and the Queen fought again. The Queen waved him off, Please do, my King, you haven't left the island in weeks. Besides, I need to talk to Scylla for a while.
Yeah, I know that's why I want to leave. He said, before crawling deeper into the water till he was completely gone. The Queen let out a small giggle before looking down at herself with this disbelief look on her face. Probably hard to believe she was no longer huge and could actually move around with ease now. She sighed and walked over to her friend and might as well get her apology out and over with it.
The best thing when it comes to Mosura was her ever forgiving nature. Though some would see it as a bad flaw, today was not the time. They talked things out and had a small laugh and the Queen was even nice enough to grovel at her about the whole Behemoth thing. It took a lot not to laugh at the Queen's pouring out her heart over the whole situation and promise her she will never bring up the male ever again. Never again, if her best friend was happy being by herself then she should be happy as well. Oh this is so priceless and even though she tried to stop the Queen from embarrassing herself she was slightly enjoying the show. Then the guilt started to take over the Queen's face when she mentioned how bad she felt for "crushing" Behemoth's hope like that knowing all the help he was doing for the firebird.
Not taking it anymore, she got up and headed over to the ocean with a sly look. If you want I can tell him for you. I was on my way over there to go see him for our date, but I decided to stop here first to check up on you.
That made the Queen beam up so high she was sure she didn't realize what she just said. Really? Thank you Scylla, I would really appreciate that. She said smiling.
Five….four...three...two…
Wait….WHAT! She shouted in total shock.
I'll see you later, my friend. She said, before disappearing in the water.
She stayed put underwater while counting to five again and didn't get past four when she saw those bright colors of the Queen's wings above, but what surprised her was the fact the Queen actually dive in till they were face to face. She started rambling causing bubbles to spew out in front of them till she could no longer breathe. Grabbing her little friend with her tentacles, she lifted them both up to the surface so the Queen could get some air. She stayed quiet while waiting for her friend to cough up some water and flip her wet antennas out of her face.
Panting with her eyes wide open, she shouted. DATE! What DATE!? You didn't tell me there was a DATE! You're actually seeing him!? What in the world, Scylla?!
She dropped her back in the ocean to get her to be quiet so she could talk. Ok so maybe the word "Date" was a bit of a stretch. She said, while the Queen swam around to her side so she could climb up on her shell. But don't you dare pull a stunt like that, Mosura, you need to be resting.
Well, excuse me for not taking this so lightly. Especially coming from someone who told me over and over again she doesn't do "Male companionship" and made me feel guilty for upsetting you the last time we talked.
Trust me, it wasn't planned. I didn't even give him a second thought after you left until that fire demon came by and pestered me to go over there and see him. She said with a huff.
She could feel the Queen walking down from her shell and settling on the back of her neck. Her face appeared in front of her. Please don't tell me you went over there out of pity.
She sighed, Well, Rodan said he was getting very depressed about me not showing up. What was I supposed to do and not to mention Rodan refused to leave until I went over there. I tell you that bird can be very convincing.
The Queen laughs, I can already hear him saying "one of his many "talents" with that sly smirk on his beak.
Yeah, yeah, "charming" whatever. Scylla said, feeling moody all of a sudden.
Why are you upset? The Queen asked.
Because I told myself I was going over there to talk and that was it, but I actually had fun….it was nice talking to him...it was different. He certainly have better manners and charm than those two males you're so overly fond of.
Ok, you're confused and mad so I'll just ignore that insult. So what's the problem?
A gentle wave crashed into them causing her to dip underwater once again before resurfacing. I want to see him again.
That's great!
But I don't at the same time. She said, shaking her head.
Now you're sounding ridiculous.
Mosura, we are not alike. He's a different species for one, two this is extremely unnatural to my kind and three….Did she want to tell her about her thoughts on relationships. She seen Mosura go through so much drama when it came to this stupid thing called love and did not like any part of it. The only type of love she can do is loving her hatchlings and looking after her friends….I don't want to give him hope that something will come out of this.
I think you're overthinking it a bit. The Queen said.
I'm not. I just said "date' to annoy you, but I'm going over there to break it off before it gets out of hand. She said.
Aww, Scylla, don't do that. He really likes you and I can tell you really like h-
Scylla threw the Queen off her back before she could finish her sentence causing a loud splash. The Queen resurfaces and spits water out. Please stop doing that.
Then please stop making this a big deal.
Swimming in front of her, the Queen pouted angrily. It is a big deal. Why didn't you tell me sooner!? You always give me a hard time never telling you things yet you don't tell me this.
Oh Mosura, you know how you get when it comes to males, do you really think I want you involved with this one as well.
How I get? I don't know what you are talking about.
Yeah right! You remember what happened the last time I was going through my breeding cycle and what's worse you got Dear King involved as well…
(Flashback)
For the life of her, she didn't know why she agreed to let Mosura be around during her breeding cycle time. It was just bad luck, they came to visit around this time and of course, Mosura needed to butt in to make sure she finds the "Perfect" male for her. The last few times, she shoo enough males away where it was nearly impossible to find a potential suitor. She thought with her King around, he would distract her enough not to intervene, but she had to remember the King didn't really favor her that well and finds Mosura's pestering rather amusing.
Sure enough, the King was lying down in the background with a "Eat crap" grin on his face while Mosura interrogated the male she picked out. The Male, (darn, she couldn't remember the name since it was a long time ago and not necessary at the time) was getting a little annoyed with all the questions.
Look, I know Scylla said she doesn't care about personality, but I truly believe that should be part of the package, wouldn't you agree? She asked the male.
The Male looked behind Mosura to stare at her while she shook her head in embarrassment. She huffed, Mosura, what did I tell you about interfering.
Oh come on Scylla, you need more in a guy than eggs and honestly, this one looks a little dull in my opinion.
The Male didn't like that. Hey, I'm standing right here, you know.
Mosura turned around, Well, I'm just assuming since you won't answer my questions.
That doesn't mean I'm dull. Like your friend said, personality is not a requirement. Don't you know how a breeding cycle works?
Yes, I've been with Scylla long enough and I'm just making sure she picks the best male.
The Male's tentacles flared a bit. I don't think you have the right to pick for her.
She doesn't, in fact, she was just leaving, right Mosura? She said, with a firm tone.
Mosura landed on the ground, right between them. Don't be that way, Scylla. I'm just trying to help and if he can't answer a few simple questions than maybe you can find a better suitor.
I think he's fine. This is my choice, Mosura. She said.
What is so wrong with finding someone who can talk to you and make you laugh and be there for you when you're feeling down. That should be up there when it comes to a suitor, Scylla. Not some dull, annoying male who is only good for one thing.
The male took a step back. Am I invisible here or something. He said, to no one in particular.
This is your chance to run away now while you still can. They all heard the King saying while grinning from this entertainment. Great, he HAD to put in his thoughts and opinions.
She can tell the Male was slowly losing his patience and decided to take it out on the wrong person. He leaned down to Mosura and snorted in her face. Look, you tiny little thing, I know you're just being a friend, but this is between me and the female here alright.
She has a name, you know. Mosura said, fluttering her wings in annoyance. Don't tell me you can't even memorize a simple thing like a name, sir?
Now the male was getting angry from her pestering and she happened to look over at the King who was getting up from his lying position, no doubt getting a little testy with the male getting too close to Mosura in a threatening sort of way. Um, Mosura, I really think you should leave now. She said.
While Gojira gained the title as King around here and had many kneeling to him, there were still a lot of them out there that didn't see him in that sort of light. The male happens to be one of them and sadly, did not know what he was capable of when pushed too far. Also, didn't know about the King finding his Queen. A lot of kaijus thought it was another lizard kaiju and not the little pretty moth right in front of them. His idea since he cared about the safety of his Queen and didn't want anyone to go after her.
Mosura sighed, Oh Scylla, don't be that way, I'm only trying to help.
You heard your friend, beat it! The Male said, getting a little too close in the danger zone.
Mosura hissed, You are so rude. Seriously Scylla, if you want sweet and kind hatchlings, I wouldn't let this male come near you.
What part of "Leave" do you not understand! The Male hissed back and used his long leg to roughly push her moth friend out of the way. Before another word could be spoken, they all heard a loud growl then a giant hand grabbing the Male's neck and was literally lifted up from the ground and tossed mercilessly away from her and Mosura.
Mosura let out a loud screech to prevent the King from killing the poor male while she sighs and facepalms her head with one of her tentacles. The male ended up losing two of his legs that day…...
(Present)
Ok, so that one was bad, but in the end you did find a better suitor. The Queen said, while resting in the shallow part of the ocean.
That's not the point, Mosura. You get so worked up over something so meaningless it's sometimes hard to talk to you about it.
So are you saying Behemoth is meaningless.
No, I know he's a nice kaiju, but I truly believe it's better to end it now because it would hurt more if I keep dragging it out.
So there's no way you are willing to give this a chance to see how it goes. Relationships are a wonderful thing to explore.
No, and all I'm asking from you is to stay out of it. Don't try to convince me to do something I don't want to do.
You don't look so sure of yourself. Her friend said with a sad face.
000000000
~What is the feeling taking over?
Thinking no one could open my door
Surprise, it's time
To feel what's real?..~
She thought about just not going back and hopefully the Sloth would get a clue she was not interested, but she wasn't that rude. She would never be the "Stuck-up Bitch" like the Muto and Rodan call her. And that's probably the nicest thing the Muto had called her, she heard worse names about the Queen that she would never repeat out loud or to her friend. Swimming underwater towards the Sloth's home, she was coming up with different scenarios in her mind on how she was going to end this thing that her legs got caught in the ocean's floor causing her to lose her footing for a bit. So lost in thought she didn't realize she was already near the shallow part of the water and just a few steps away from appearing out in the open. Staying underwater, she closed her eyes to calm her nerves and told herself just get it over with it and move on.
With that in mind, she resurfaces to see Behemoth talking to Rodan who was sitting on one of his tusks. They were so into their conversation they didn't see her walking over to them till Rodan spotted her.
You got company. He said.
Behemoth looked over at her direction and nearly jumped out of his fur. The sudden movement almost made Rodan fall off his tusk. Miss Scylla, what a very pleasant surprise.
She cleared her throat, she was hoping he would be alone because no doubt she will get pestered again by Rodan if he witnesses her hurting the older kaiju's feelings. Plus it was hard to be firm with her plan with Behemoth giving her such a warm smile. Oh boy….
Well, you said I was welcome here anytime. She said.
And you're timing is horrible at the moment. We were about to take off in land. Rodan said, crossing his wings.
Oh, I guess you forgot that we are supposed to stay away from human areas. She said, making a face at the fire demon.
He gave her a sly smirk. Since when do I ever follow the rules?
Now, now, Rodan, you should always show respect towards a lady. Behemoth said.
Too bad there's not one around here. He said before snickering.
Behemoth rolled his eyes and gave him a disapproving look which Rodan held up his claws while muttering "kidding, kidding" in a funny tone. I'm sorry about this, but we were actually going to go see Methuselah for a while. You are welcome to come if you like. No doubt he would be happy to see a lovely lady like yourself.
If this is some sort of male bonding thing, I can always come back. She said, feeling bad about showing up so late. I'm sorry for showing up so late to begin with, but I just came from the Queen's home and found out she just laid her egg so I had to stay and talk.
How wonderful to hear and about time if you asked me. The last time I saw her she was having a hard time walking around and breathing. Isn't that wonderful, Rodan?
Scylla stared at the fire demon who remained silent and looked like he was deep in thought.Yeah, wonderful. Then he smiled a little which threw her off. It was just a month or so ago when he heard about the pregnancy and destroyed a large portion of land here. Excuse me. He said, and flew up into the air, nearly burning Behemoth with the little embers from his wings.
The two remain silent as they watch the fire demon get smaller and smaller till he is gone. She sighed, I hope he doesn't do anything stupid.
Behemoth looked at her strangely. What do you mean by that?
She jerked because she had to remind herself the Sloth didn't know about Rodan's history with the royal couple. Oh nothing, I just know he tends to get himself in a lot of trouble.
Behemoth shrugged, I know, I know a lot more than what you think, but I trust him.
Maybe you shouldn't. She said, in a demeaning tone.
Oh, is there bad history between you two I don't know about? He asked, in a worry tone.
It's nothing personal. She said. (He nearly ruined my friend's relationship) I just don't like the male.
He stared at her before saying, I see….As if he was reading her mind or knew why the bird could not be trusted. Anyway, since he's gone, would you feel better now accompanying me to go visit Methuselah?.
Um, I don't know, I'm actually here for another reason. She said.
Right, right, the good news about the Queen's laying her egg. So tell me, how did the King react to it? How is the Queen doing, no doubt tired from the whole ordeal. I'm sure you can imagine an all day labor, I know my life mate had her fair share with the many cubs she had.
Scylla couldn't help, but snort. Try laying up to a hundred eggs in one sitting then we'll talk.
He let out a deep chuckle, Very well then, I guess I can't talk so next topic. He said, while motioning his head towards the north. Shall we talk and walk before it gets too dark.
She sighed, she was supposed to tell him "getting to know one another" was not going to work out, but…., Sure, lead the way.
He smiled and started walking away with her following to catch up. Once they were side by side, he brought up the so-called next topic. So do you still think the little heir is going to be female?
She giggled, I just hope so. I mean, I've seen our dear King in his younger days and he was very destructive back then as he is now. Do we really need another one?
I think a little Prince would be exactly what they both need. Males take great pride when it comes to sons and since our Queen admired lizard kaijus no doubt she would spoil him with tender love and care.
Who knows it could be a larva. I can just see the joy in our Queen's eyes when she sees her beautiful princess. All the bright colors and softness. Now doesn't that sound better than a lizard kaiju that might turn out to be like his Sire.
I say, you have bad thoughts about Rodan and now the King. Is no male safe from your disapproval opinion? He asked with a chuckle
She tilted her head a bit grimly. Well, to be honest, I had to deal with those two a lot, so I can't think of a positive thought about either one of them, it has nothing to do with the all the male population. She said.
Oh really now, so what's your opinion on me then? He asked, curiously.
She looked away shyly which surprised her a lot. Since when did she act so shy in front of anyone. I have to say you're much easier to tolerate and can hold a mature conversation.
That made him beam big time. It's funny, many kaijus think a mature conversation is considered me being a "chatterbox."
She giggled, Well, it's not your fault their lives are so boring they have nothing to talk about.
He smiled, I'm not so sure, I lost count how many times Rodan fell asleep when I was talking for a long period of time.
She shook her head. How rude. I don't know why you put up with him or why you let him stay with you.
He is alright once you get to know him. He's a good kaiju, just a little rough around the edges. He just needs support and a lot of patience.
(Yeah and the last kaiju who did that for him ended up sleeping with him.) She thought grimly. On the other hand, the fact that Rodan flew over to her on Behemoth's behalf told her there must be something else to the fire demon than drama and mischief. I just hope you know what you are doing. I would really hate for you to get hurt. She said, and for a moment she didn't know she was talking about herself or Rodan.
He stopped causing her to stop as well and he looked down at her with such warmth. It's nice to know you care, my Dear.
For the first time, she actually felt flattered when he called her "My Dear" and to think way back then that actually offended her. He was smiling now and she could feel little flutters in her stomach. Breaking it off with him is going to be harder than she thought…..
