Two Path/Stallion/Hugo logs
This first log takes place a couple of days before this log between Path and Kinnison.
Path: :o Snow!
Hugo: I like snow, but I like it best when it is hot outside.
Stallion: You would.
Hugo: *teasing* What do you mean by that, Windrunner?
Stallion: Being all hot blooded and all.
Hugo: Did you see the snowelf that Path and I made?
Stallion: I did! I quite approve.
Path: : D
Hugo: *grins*
Stallion: I like how we're starting to get things worked out as a family. Path? Kinnison said you're very good when he watches you while we both work.
Path: (I like Uncle Kinni! He tells me lots of stories about him and Shiro and he knows lots of stuff! Almost as much as you, Father!)
Hugo: *raises an eyebrow* He likes Kinnison?
Stallion: That's right. I think the frog did it. *chuckling*
Hugo: It is a cute frog.
Path: (Today I learned how to count better today! Do you want to hear?)
Stallion: (Sure. Let's hear you count.) We're about to be regaled by the wisdom of Path as he counts.
Hugo: Go ahead Path. *nods*
Path: One, two, three, um....five, nine, seven ten!
Hugo: *whispers to Stallion* He forgot some.
Stallion: *grin* Path, you're doing a little better. Keep trying!
Stallion: He gets the first three and ten but it's random to the order of everything in between.
Hugo: Hey Path, give me a high five. *holds hand out to Path*
Path: ...? *oh, he remembers this! He trots over to Hugo and pats his hand on Hugo's*
Hugo: *beams*
Path: Hee.
Stallion: I see you're beginning to grow fond of my treefrog.
Hugo: *grins* Yeah, I am.
Stallion: Although...*feeling guilty now*...he is your treefrog too.
Hugo: ... And we are getting to know each other.
Stallion: *it strikes him then that though they both equal minded, they will never be of the same race entirely and his thinking just kind of illustrated that right there. He rests his head on Hugo's shoulder, feeling troubled*
Stallion: *real quiet* I guess I have to learn to share.
Hugo: *quietly* You've had more time to get to know him. And you rescued him too.
Path: *trots on up* Is Father sad? :o
Path: Eeee! *demands to be picked up and squeezes Stallion in a hug* I maked it better.
Hugo: *grins* I think you have too, Path. *kisses the top of Path's head*
Path: *blinks a little at this show of affection and then giggles just a tiny bit* Okay! Bedtime now! Let's go, Father!
Stallion: *does feel better, actually* All right. Time for little treefrogs to go to sleep!
Stallion: *tucks him all in and closes the door*
Path: *from behind the door* GOOD NIGHT HUGOHUGO
Hugo: GOOD NIGHT PATH!
Stallion: *laughing*
Stallion: *settles close for more Hugo snuggling*
Hugo: *wraps his arm around Stallion* How bad was it? *sighs* I mean, how bad did they treat Path?
Stallion: *twitches*
Stallion: I never said anything about him being treated bad.
Hugo: *looks at Stallion* You didn't have to - I've spent time with him.
Stallion: ....
Stallion: I promised...I promised that I wouldn't tell anyone the whole story unless he said it was all right. So if you do want to love him and it works out, he will let me tell you. Or he'll say it himself.
Hugo: *nods, knowing that it must have been really bad*
Stallion: I just wish...*startled to find himself tearing up*
Hugo: *concerned* What is it, Stallion?
Stallion: I wish I could make it so it never happened but I -can't-. *crying quietly*
Hugo: *pulls Stallion in close to hold him.* But you can be here for Pathfinder now.
Stallion: I know. *sniff* They don't tell you in those books how your life completely changes. Like you want to move heaven and earth for one little soul.
Hugo: *nods*
Stallion: It's a scary feeling and it's a good feeling at the same time. *hugs him back* I bet you'll feel it someday.
Hugo: I already am.
Stallion: *surprised, looks Hugo in his eyes*
Stallion: Oh. *quiet* Well don't I feel stupid.
Hugo: I'm still getting to know Path, but ... I see how much he means to you. And I would move heaven and earth for you .... *trails off*
Stallion: *his expression changes into something much more beautific as he squeezes Hugo in a tight hug* I should have known. You're so good at loving elves.
Stallion: *making sure all doors are secure, he decides to show Hugo much in the way of quiet appreciation for that unasked for statement*
Hugo: *appreciates that VERY much*
And this log took place last night.
Stallion: *in their room for the evening, the elf calls his family to order* I declare a family meeting. I think we need to discuss something.
Path: *blink* What is?
Hugo: *is sitting cross-legged on the corner of the bed* What do we need to discuss?
Stallion: Hugo, I think we need to teach our offspring something important. Kinnison told me some very interesting things today when he watched the little treefrog.
Path: *eep* Is Path bad?
Hugo: No, Path's not bad!
Path: No?
Stallion: No, Path is good. *fluffs his green hair* But Path is a little confused on something and we're going to help you.
Stallion: Hugo, we need to teach him about sharing people and love.
Hugo: Ah. *something he and Path were talking about comes to mind.* And how it is possible to love lots of people at the same time, right?
Stallion: Mmmhmm. Now Path, a family meeting is where you can tell us what's on your mind. Why do you only think you can love only one person at a time?
Path: Mommy said so.
Stallion: *doesn't say anything but doesn't look surprised by this either*
Hugo: Did your mommy explain more or did she just say you can only love one person at a time?
Path: She says she likes grown ups this much. *holds out hands wide* And Path this much. *holds hands almost touching together*
Stallion: *he's tapping his fingers against his knee. He has the oddest look on his face, as though he's trying to contain his temper*
Hugo: Path .... ?
Path: Mommy said so. *it's obvious he doesn't understand the problem with what he's said. Only that because someone told it to him, it has to be true*
Path: Want Father to love me! Just me!
Hugo: Stallion and I love each other AND you.
Stallion: *ahhhhh, so Path is JEALOUS but doesn't understand the feeling for what it is. Well, there's a way around that!*
Stallion: That's right, Hugo. And you know why? Because it's about sharing.
Path: ...?
Stallion: Path, remember how I taught you how you need to share things with other people? You let people borrow them? I forgot to tell you that you can do that with people AND feelings.
Hugo: And loving more than one person doesn't mean that you love someone else less.
Path: ....you don't?
Hugo: I love Stallion and I love you lots. And I love my mom and my griffon lots too.
Stallion: That's right. Love can't be measured with the space of your hands. It's sometimes very large and sometimes very quiet and all kinds of things but it all fits inside your heart. You can share that feeling with more than one person and they in turn share it with other people.
Stallion: So don't feel angry about having me love more than you. I don't love you any less because I love other people. I share that love with many people. It's also sharing people. You know something important?
Path: What?
Stallion: When Hugo watches you, it's not that you're being taken away from me. It means I'm sharing him with you. I love you very much and I want to share Hugo with you even when I want to be with him too. It's because it's important to share.
Path: *hadn't thought of that at all!*
Path: *looks at Hugo* I share you?
Hugo: Yes. *nods*
Path: Father loves me. Father loves Hugo. Father shares Hugo with Path?
Stallion: That's right.
Hugo: We share each other.
Path: Oh. I share Father with Hugo.
Stallion: *ears perk* That's right! You got it.
Path: But...Mommy said one person. Why?
Stallion: Ahhh...maybe your mother didn't know how to share. If you didn't know how, maybe you would think that way.
Path: *puts a thumb in his mouth and sucks on it for a bit, looking thoughtful*
Hugo: Path, you know that Stallion and I love you, right?
Path: *pops thumb out of mouth and nods* Uncle Kinni said.~
Hugo: Because we do. And we want you to be happy.
Stallion: So if you are confused or you want to ask us something at any time, go ahead.
Stallion: You're not being bad if you don't understand. If you do something very naughty, me and Hugo will punish you. But we're not going to punish you if you want to ask us something.
Path: Okay.
Hugo: *smiles at Path*
Path: *raises his hand*
Stallion: *amused* Yes, the little treefrog right there. Is there something you want to say at the meeting?
Path: Wanna sing counting song!
Hugo: The counting song?
Stallion: I taught him a song and it's helped him count to 10. Go ahead, Path.
Path: One is fun! Two is blue. Three is free. Four is floor. Five is alive! Six is sticks. Seven is heaven. Eight is great. Nine is fine. Ten is the end!
Hugo: *claps* Well done, Path.
Path: Heee.
Stallion: Obviously he gets it from the elven side of the family.
Hugo: *chuckles*
Path: Thank you, Hugo.~ *he actually smiles up at the Karayan*
Hugo: *pats Path on the head* Is there anything else anyone wants to bring up at our family meeting?
Path: No.
Stallion: I'm good.
Hugo: Okay then. I don't know about you guys, but I am hungry.
Path: Cheesy bread!
Stallion: I second the motion!
Path: :o Snow!
Hugo: I like snow, but I like it best when it is hot outside.
Stallion: You would.
Hugo: *teasing* What do you mean by that, Windrunner?
Stallion: Being all hot blooded and all.
