He showered quickly enough not wanting to take too long. He was tired and his mind was working slowly. Something had almost happened yet didn't. He wondered if he had done something wrong or if it just wasn't the right time for it. He didn't know and didn't mind it at the moment. When he dried off he joined her again. Sadly she was already asleep when he joined her. All the better then he guess.
He slept soundly enough through the remainder of the night. With her beside him he had easy and pleasant dreams. He was roused from his sleep when she shook him awake that morning. She had showered as well before waking him it seems. He smiled and got up, dressing before joining her and his brother. Then they joined Dale and Absynth for breakfast. He remained silent for the most part and was glad of it. For soon they were summoned before breakfast was finished.

Absynthe followed Dale into the throne room with Tapion, Azlyn and Minosha only to see another couple there with Dale’s father and mother. One was a lovely red headed woman and the other was a redheaded man who’s eyes were the save vibrant blue as Absynthes. Dale referred to her as aunt Amelia but didn’t really say anything to the man who was obviously her husband. That’s when Dale’s father spoke saying the DNA on Absynthe had come back and that’s when Amelia started towards her can called Absynthe her little girl. Absynthe stepped back feeling like she was being cornered, “I’m sorry but I’m afraid I don’t know who you are lady” Absynthe said to the woman who gave birth to her. Long ago Absynthe was known as little Ruby Alora Xanthus daughter of the great Cypher Xanthus and the princess Amelia.
Amelia paused when Absynthe stepped back from her when she approached, “Ruby… I’m your mother… I lived… many many years never knowing what happened to you… what those monsters did to you, if they killed you…” She said. Amelia had been adopted into the kings family after Dale’s father’s birth and though she was younger than her brother she had a child before he married Dale’s mother so Absynthe had been born before Dale by a good while. “It’s Absynthe… not Ruby. Those monster’s didn’t do anything to me except raise me, taught me everything I know and to me aren’t monsters. If the blood in my veins says I’m your child then by rights I suppose I am… but I’m not the child you knew. My name is Absynthe Kai Katsumi Sabrehaven of the Katsumi Elite saiyan family, and even though I only learned recently they were not my real parents, they took good care of me.”
Azlyn looked at Dale before they had to get up and be summoned to the throne room for a kings audience. What a strange world this was having a king, some sort of leader in charge of an entire planet. Konos wasn’t like that all. Town elders or mayors saw to the well being of the people living in their community, nothing was governed so widely as this place was. She as silent as she stood beside Tapion as Absynthe seemed to take pride in the woman she had become and not the memory that remained with these people when she was young. Azlyn could see a strong resemblance to the man who was up by the king, Absynthe had his eyes his shade of red hair but her mother’s soft feminine features. She thought to herself about her Father, how she and all her sisters took after their father in looks, she recalled her mother trying to think of what she could have gotten from her. Then she glanced at Tapion while she held onto Minosha’s hand, would they have children? Tapion didn’t seem too interested in being with her in such a way it would be possible. Would her marriage be like Absynthe described her saiyan parents and have separate rooms from each other, separate beds, why didn’t he want her? What there something wrong with her she thought.

Dale looked to Absynthe while she reacted to his aunt Amelia about this she didn’t take it likely and said what was on her mind “she has a point it was how she was raised “he told his parents and Aunt “she only knows the saiyans who raised her as her parents but they are your blood relations Absynthe you should at least try to get to know them” he explained to her as it was hard for him to see his aunt always seemed so sad because her daughter was kidnapped and it hurt him too knowing that but her daughter was here now in front of her.

He entered the throne room with the others. He was curious to what was going on and how soon they would be on their own. He wanted so much to be with Azlyn in their own home with a child of their own. But how long would he have to wait for that dream to come to pass? He listened and watched the scene before him and only held Azlyn closer to him. A warm smile for her and Minosha. This time though he kept his mouth shut since this didn't concern him.

Absynthe shook her head, “I won’t lie… I have no care or will to know you… either of you” She said to Amelia and Cypher, her birth parents. “I have thought about it the entire way here and it has worried me more then something should. You must understand that until a few weeks ago… I was just… Absynthe Katsumi, the daughter of two of the former kings favorite elites. I yes wondered why I was different then other saiyans but I had been told I was genetically made this way, and that… the markings on my body were simply for identification reasons, so that if I was to die in battle they could indentify my body. I found out my life was a big lie… and it ruined every hope and dream I ever had made for myself. It tore me from… the man I had loved for years and I hurt him because I had to give him up. We had always talked about having a big family and suddenly I wouldn’t be able to do that for him. In my attempt to find… what I was I went looking for Dale… and I love him now and his stupid parents don’t seem to get that. He’s the only one who understands what I’m feeling and isn’t bossing me around.” She said. Amelia looked crushed and Cypher stepped forward, “I want the chance to know my little girl. We both do and we deserve it. Because you were taken from us neither of us wanted to have any more children.”
Azlyn glanced at Tapion as he seemed to be staying out of it but Azlyn didn’t like all this fighting among family. “You’re all family… why must you speak to each other so harshly. There needs to be more understanding here. I am sure if you take the time to let Absynthe adjust and understand how she’s feeling everyone might be a lot calmer and better off. You’re all rushing her to accept something she’s been forced to swallow. Give her some time and in the mean time have small private conversations with her… find out how she feels about being here… I’m sure you can find some sort of common ground. You’ve all been affected by what’s happened to her, take the time to hear what’s happened in her life…” she said before glancing back at Tapion still a bit lost as to what he wanted from her since he never said anything about it or took the first step.

Dale looked down to Absynthe having an arm around her as he was there supporting her her parents pleading to at least get to know them “I don’t think it would cause any harm to least get to know them Absynthe, when we get some down time” he told her hand gently stroking her back while the king spoke up “yes your ship has been fully supplied again and the space stations locations have been programmed you can leave here at any time and complete the mission for us” he told them.

He sighed and stepped forward a step. " Dale and Azlyn are right. But so is Absynth and her parents. " He glared at them but wasn't happy at it. " She has been through so much hell and to be forced into this without a second thought to her is wrong. But Absynth you need to at least give them the time to know a child they didn't have a chance to see grow up. In your own time when things are calmer and easier to take in. Fighting about it and denying everything out right is just wrong. Your my freinds and i don't wish this fighting to continue. Bad things happen that way and often has bad endings. " He sighed as he pulled Azlyn and Minosha close to him.
" What you decide is up to you in the end but everything has to be taken one step at a time. Not forced all in one giant jump. Everyone has problems and everyone has their own ways of dealing with them. " He looked up to Dale then and his ears and cheeks seemed to darken a shade. " But on a different subject....Dale would you be willing to.....be a witness to Azlyn and my Marriage before we leave? If....your father wouldn't mind? "

Absynthe turned slightly and looked at Tapion and Azlyn. She didn't rally care if she knew the people who created her, gave her life, she was to concerned in being conflicted emotionally as to who she was. Her whole like she'd seen herself as a capable strong saiyan woman but she wasn't a saiyan at all. That alone left her heart in shatters, but she did have Dale and he was good to her. In the time she had spent with him she had grown to feel something for this man even though it hasn't been that long since they got together. She held onto Dale's hand tightly, "Let just... go and get this mission over with... I need... time to think" She said. Cypher rushed forward to her, "Ruby..." he said as she turned and looked at him, "It's Absynthe! My name is is Absynthe!" She said as he pause in front of her. "....Absynthe..." He said as she looked back into the eyes of her true father. "I have things... I want to say" He said to her. "Save it for when I get back... the universal is going to hell and I need to pound it back into shape." She then looked back at Azlyn and Tapion when Tapion asked to be married now before they left.
Azlyn blushed suddenly when she heard Tapion speak up saying he wanted to marry her right now. She looked at him, "Oh Tapion... I'm sure they don't have the time for us" She said just saying that so they wouldn't look rude or anything to Dale's father. She felt Tapion pull her and Minosha closer, yet she did want to marry him as soon as she could. She had died once already, she had been shown life can be very short and you could leave behind everyone you ever loved, and the ones you loved hurt more because of the loss of you. She didn't want to take the chance of that again, to know what it felt like to be loved so much she would be a bride, a wife, a mother.

Dale looked back to Absynthe as she started to leave the room he turned to go after her like a good husband would do but stopped when he heard Tapion say that he wanted to marry Azlyn and have Dale as a witness “I don’t see why not we can stay for a few moments at least so you and azlyn can be married” he said reaching out to take Absynthes hand “and me and Absynthe will be happy to be a witness to your wedding” he told him not letting Absynthe leave wanting her to be there for their friends. The king looked down to them “Well I guess we can do a quick wedding for you since I do not mind”

He smiled softly shaking his head at Azlyn. Then the dark color deepened alittle before Dale responded. His throat became dry then and he gave a nod. " I would like that greatly. I just...can't risk loosing her again without having this chance. " He looked to to dale and Absynth then to Dale's father. " I would be gratefull if you would. "

Absynthe turned looking at Tapion and Azlyn. It was rather sweet how they were together, so shy around each other but yet still so happy. She sighed softly because they reminded her how she and Strife used to be. They were so young and innocent back then, they had a whole future planned together but the news of her not being saiyan smashed those dreams like glass. She looked at Dale as she gently took his hand, would they have the romance that Tapion and Azlyn seemed to have or would everything they had be so forward like it had been. She had pushed herself onto him and into his life as a partner but was it what he wanted? Did she make him do this with her or was this what he wanted? Now she didn’t know if this is what he wanted, worried as well because the more she thought about it, the more it felt right for her to be there at his side and hopefully in his heart.
Azlyn blushed brightly as she took hold of Tapions hands and looked into his green eyes and smiled. “Oh Tapion…” She said thinking what he said was very romantic. She smiled happily figuring they would wed now and then do something more traditional when they did go home to Konos. She looked down at Minosha who looked just as excited about a wedding. In a way she could tell it was because he wanted a mother and Azlyn and Tapion were rapidly becoming more like parents to him then siblings. She didn’t mind though, she’d always cared for her little sisters and wanted him to feel as loved as her sisters did.

Dale pulled Absynthe infront of him she seemed worried about something that involved him he thought she had nothing to worry about yes they were somewhat thrown together being the last two of their kind but Dale didn’t mind at all he enjoyed Absynthes presence and company she was a saiyan in attitude but it didn’t bug him too much she would come around he knew that. His arms around her waist being somewhat taller than her he easily held her against him. He kissed her cheek gently “now we are here for our friends you should try smiling more instead of having your saiyan frown turn it upside down” Dale said being playful with them as it was Azlyns and Tapions day while the king got up servants handing him what he needed for a wedding ceremony.

He smiled and nods. He turned and walked with Azlyn up to where the king and queen were standing. He was nervouse but if he didn't do this now he would never be able to do anything about it later. He wanted her happy and wanted to live what life he had left being able to call her his wife. She was his love and she was perfect to him.
-King-
When things were gathered together in such short notice he smiled. He pulled forth his blade as his queen held a pillow with a set of circlets. these circlets were mad to interlink when hands were held. " Tapion, Azlyn, having heard your desires it pleases me that you would ask this. It is an honor to bind two hearts together. As king of Ryu I bless you Tapion, to be strong and wise in your future love of this woman. " He tapped the blade ever so softly to Tapions right shoulder. "
" And to you Azlyn, i bless happiness and patience for the trials that will come. " He tapped her right shoulder as well. He then placed the sword back in it's sheath and then handed the circlets to them. Latching each into place. " With these circlets i bind your hearts and lives together. Love always and be happy. congradulations, you may now kiss your bride. "
Tapion smiled, being silent and shaking with anticipation. When all was said and done he admired the circlets and then looked to Azlyn. With the last words spoken by the king he pulled her close and kissed her.

Absynthe remained at Dale’s side as she decided it would be best to be there for their friends. She smiled for Dale since he did want her to be happy and this would be a happy moment for Tapion and Azlyn. Absynthe held onto Dale’s arm as she listened as Dale’s father began the short ceremony. She figured Dale would make sure they both got something to symbolize their marriage beyond circlets, it seemed like they used rings too judging by the one on the King’s finger. She glanced at Dale as his father did the ceremony, cleverly using his father’s ceremony to be theirs as well so she wouldn’t need to do anything fancy. She didn’t know if Dale was thinking that but it worked for her.
Azlyn smiled as she looked at Tapion, her heart beginning to race as the King began to marry them. She blushed ever so slightly looking into Tapion’s green eyes, almost drowning out the sound and all she could really hear was her loving heart pounding. When Tapion was told he could kiss his bride she was trembling just as much as he was. She took his hands at first as he pulled her close but let go, leaning against him and moved her hands up and around his shoulders. She closed her eyes as she leaned in and kissed him lovingly, biding their hearts together forever.

Once the ceremony was done dale took every one to the ship “Well I am sure the newlyweds would like to go to their room so take your time” he told them while he moved to the cockpit looking to Absynthe “so you ready to leave dear and get this mission done and out of the way or should we stay a little longer” he aside her sitting in the pilots chair reviewing input from the ryuujin computer base about fixes done to the ship and supplies added and new star charts that were inputted as it was important data to him to make sure he was familiarized with it. He wanted to know how Absynthe felt and wanted to talk to her but he knew he wouldn’t get far unless she opened up to him first
