The Tenth Year

Rinalda was not a very nice Gria. At least not to Kinta. She refused to refer to the Viera by name. She was even worse than Edwina when it came to her heat. She wanted to go to Fluorgis and get mated as soon as possible.

She looked a lot like Eddy. Her tail was a bit shorter than her sister's, but it was longer than a normal Gria's. She had red hair just like her sister, but her eyes were golden. Kinta, being a lesbian, couldn't help noticing that Rinalda had a nice rack too. Bigger than Eddy's even.

Edwina, as if reading Kinta's mind, growled at the Viera. "Don't be getting any ideas. She hates Viera a lot, and she won't hesitate to attack you if you lay a paw on her. She might even try to kill you. Not to mention I'll leave you." The young Gria snarled.

"Wina, what the hell is it with you and this Viera? You could have any Gria you wanted! Even if you want a female, you could find a Gria!" Rinalda complained.

"It's just because I'm a Viera… you're a total bitch Rinalda, you know that? Why am I helping you? I should've listened to Edwina and stayed out of this!" Kinta snapped.

"Filthy rodent!"

"Rinalda, this 'filthy rodent' happens to love me more than anyone ever has or ever will!" Edwina yelled.

"And I'm more of a lagomorph anyhow. I'm a Viera. I have rabbit ears. Rabbits are not rodents!"

"Viera… I don't want to hear you speak anymore! It was a Viera who killed our father, and she made up some lie about him hurting her kitten! Our father would never harm anyone, let alone a Viera kitten!"

"Yeah. It was Theodora who killed a young Viera for supposedly messing with her eggs, wasn't it?" Edwina asked.

"Lousy Viera in Fluorgis like to eat Gria eggs." Rinalda stated.

"I have never heard of a Viera doing anything of the sort! We are mostly vegetarians, actually. We will kill and eat coeurls and the like sometimes, but we do not take the eggs of other intelligent beings and consume them!" Kinta raged.

"From what I've heard, it happens all the time in Fluorgis. That's why a Gria's husband generally stays with her. C'mon Wina. We need to get flying. Say goodbye to your damned Viera and come along. I want to have children, and I have to get to Fluorgis before all the good men are taken and I have to settle for that bastard Valh. He has been pursuing me with intent to mate for years, but I don't like him that much."

"If I go, Kinta comes with me!"

"Fine. Just keep the rabbit as far away as possible. And we're flying. She has to find a way to keep up, since Viera don't have wings. Well, except for that Aegyl/Viera man who runs the magic shop. Now that's scary!"

"Rinalda, I'll take the airship with Kinta, and you're coming with us!" Edwina yelled.

"Why should I travel with you and your rabbit? Edwina, we have perfectly good wings and if we don't use them, they'll get weak and might even have to be removed!" Rinalda complained.

"Two days of not flying is not going to atrophy our wings! I fly all the time! And we can fly when we get home to Fluorgis!"

"Fluorgis cannot be what you consider home Eddy. You weren't even born there. You hatched in Cyril." Kinta said.

"Yes, but the egg she hatched from was laid in Fluorgis! And it's every Gria's home, just like that Golmore Jungle is for Viera!"

"C'mon Rin. Let's just book a flight. We'll pay for whatever you want at the mini-bar on the airship." Edwina said.

Kinta hadn't flown for a long time. Being in an airship was fun, but it still… Kinta wished she had wings like Gria. It would've been more fun to have a little adventure on the way to Fluorgis, even though it meant she'd have to put up with Rinalda longer.

Edwina loved flying. It was one of the ways she kept herself happy when Kinta and her weren't together. And they were rarely truly apart. They couldn't keep themselves away from each other.

"Rinalda, you be quiet. I've got us separate rooms, and that should make you happy. Kinta and I can make love all night, and you can do whatever it is you do." Edwina told her sister. Kalashi had perched herself on the Gria's shoulder and was hissing at Rinalda.

"The thought of having sex with a Viera, male or female, greatly sickens me." Rinalda growled. "Is something wrong with your squirrel?"

"Kalashi knows I'm unhappy, and that makes her upset because if something happens to me, she will die too. We're symbiotes. And she's not a squirrel, she is a Kneervon."
