Their hands moved to be wrapped around them, just below their chest, a firm hug...keeping them against their lips. The kiss was passionate, sloppy...clearly unpracticed, they may even click teeth once...but it was so so genuine. Before it broke.

" I love you, Arsi... I... I really do. "

Like that, Willow had closed the gap, showing a rare momment of force... Well force wasn't quite the word. They pressed a hard, passionate kiss to the others lips... clearly those words were the relief they needed.

Wrapping around both firmly to keep there hands together, but soon disappearing into a almost impossible to see mark... It was almost like a near invizible tattoo... a connection forever.

" I... I will beat them. "

Their face hardened, not anger but a nod.

"I, Willowglade, do solmenly promise, that my heart will beat in sync with yours.
That my life, afterlife, and everything thereafter will be with you, Arsi by my side. "

Their connected hands would feel heavy, before a vine would grow between them.

" Arsi... "

Willow was going to consider what the woman had said, the time may change and they may be on a much faster or much slower clock.

But those words froze Willow in their tracks. Staring, eyes wide, confused but... a smile.

" Arsi... if I say it back, its locked in... "

The Fae had one last, super secert weapon. NOM.
If Petal was gonna be grumpy, she was gonna get her neck softly bitten, hoping that it would distract her!

... It was probably a horrid idea.

" I just...
I have to either beat them or submit...
They're very strong, Arsi... and the date is hundreds of years away. "

They sighed a bit leaning their head into the crotch of the others neck, nuzzling against them with a sigh.

" I'll... figure it out! I am quite crafty. "

The Fae would whine, kicking their legs a bit and leaning in to nuzzle into her neck with a huff.

" Stoooop... It won't be for literally huuuundreds of years! You're face is gonna get stucccck! "

Realistically, Willow was strong too. A powerful Sorcerer with a deep connection to their Warlock Patron. But... The coven could bend time itself.

" Hey, stop making that face! "

They'd jump on the other hugging them around the neck firmly.

" Ouch- Alright... "

They couldn't lie about it even if they wanted too.

" Most... Hexbloods get eaten by the Hag when they come of age, all of my siblings... are gone. But, I made a deal with my Aunties... Delivering relics by a certain time.
Then... then my time is up. "

" Well... We've got lots of time, Petal. No need to think about it now! "

" Petal, I couldn't let you get hurt. "

They'd shake their head, now... now they would make sure to hide when that timer was up.

" Its fine, I have a lot of time! "

" Well... I want to live a happy life when I have it. You make me happy, so I've decided I'm going to live out what time I have with you.
Eventually, my promise will have to be fulfilled. "

Ominous, but they would take a deep breath.

" I don't like thinking about it... "

" Petal, you are sweet....
But it's hundreds of years from now... And they're very powerful. "

They offered a sweet smile, patting the other on the shoulder.

" I'll be fine, I just have to be stronger. "

They'd turn red, before shaking their head just a bit.

" Its... literal, Arsi. My mother was a Hag, me not being born a Hag means I'm a failed birth. Hexbloods... we only have one use.
But... I'm putting that off, with you, as long as I can. "

They... clearly were bothered still.

" Oh no. I just made a deal to go on a quest for them.
I have reliqcs to deliver, and a date to deliver them by... then...well, then I face my Aunties. "

Willow gave a small shrug.

" I don't get it either. But at least I've found a way to postpone that. "

" I mean most Hag offspring get eaten once they become sufficently powerful...
So, its to be expected. "

" Hm? I wouldn't know, I'm only three hundred years old.
But yeah, I'm a Hexblood, basically a failed...child. "

That part did cause their usual smile to dip down a bit, thinking of there birth was... a difficult thought.

" Uh— Yes and no?
I'm not sure. I've never seen any writings of a Hexblood having children, usually they're uh— bits are chopped off at birth.

Mine weren't— but I dont know if that does me any good. "

" Oh! Perfect.
That's true breeding.
Succubus and Nymphs also true breed, regardless of what they breed with it makes a succubus or a nymph.

Hags do it sorta too— but Hexbloods are like... bloodline failures. We're very rare. "

" Oh—
Technically they're Fae. I'm...sorta kinda a Hag, just not a full one due to being born wrong. So I'm just a Hexblood.

Basically they're being born with unique and powerful connections to magic, usually in the Faewyldes. "

" Interesting... Now I'm curious if you are true-mating compatible like Nymphs, Succubus and Hags...
I studied breeding for a bit... "

They had no idea about the child being born Floran, but that would logically anwser thwt question.

" Well— Hags arent fully true breeders... "

|| Faeborne ||; I'm probably gonna keep mine. If Adam has no fans, I'm dead. Pft.

|| Faeborne ||: That's a huge mood. My Adam account is basically dead but I miss it so much.

" Wait really—? "

More notes being taken.

" If I were to guess at least.
I doubt we are breeding compatible— Then again Dryad are Fae. . . "

Que them taking notes.

" Huh— My people don't really have a set time.
Sometimes a Hex lives a thousand, sometimes five thousand... sometimes more.
But I'll keep ya healthy and uninjured! "

They gave a bright smile.

( Sorry I completely forgot you replied and my brain was dumb. )

" I mean— its a feminine feature? My brain is drawn really hard to them.
Likely has to do with mates, attraction and the like. "

Willow would give the straight forward anwser, leaving out that they were fun to play with.

" Well, I mean at this point I feel like it would be more rude to stop. "

Moving their gaze up now they'd give a light laugh.

" Ah— I'm a problem. I know. "
