"…Your father was…Something of a prankster…” Ohno told the eager looking Nino softly aware of how much his little beloved wanted to know about Yurrin and he was actually happy to have somebody to talk to about Yurrin. Most of his clan knew the other elf and didn’t need his memories and Jun, who hadn’t known Yurrin that well, seemed to almost physically flinch whenever his name was mentioned. It hurt him a little to talk about his friend in the past tense but it did help to keep his memory fresh inside his mind “He loved to tease people, there was never any malice in his actions but he did cause a lot problem for people…He had been that way since he was born…I remember the worst thing that he did was when were younglings he went deep into the Waking Forest and then came back covered in what appeared to be cuts and blood and told everybody that he had single handily taken on a goblin scouting party…”

“…Goblins?” Nino whispered fearfully hugging the little blood bird into his chest tightly and Ohno smiled glad that he hadn’t realised just how close the goblins had gotten to them last night. Nino would learn eventually how dangerous life could get but for now Ohno wanted to let him keep his innocence and his almost childish wonder about things.

“It was fake…Sho the blacksmith, Aiba’s pure partner now, noticed that there were pips of fruit in his blood…” Ohno sighed remembering that day clearly as if it had only been yesterday. Sho had been a surly looking elf then who had always kept himself to himself in his forge barely speaking to anybody. It would be many years until Aiba was born and wrapped him tightly around his fingers, so tightly and changed him so much that seemed a new person had replaced the old. Back then though there had been few things scarier than having Sho growling down at him “Unfortunately Yurrin had already caused a panic amongst the clan with his words and we were forced to move on much sooner than we would have liked…”

“Why would he lie like that?” Nino asked his eyes knitting together in confusion his mouth drawing into a thin line and Ohno that he hadn’t ruined Yurrin’s image already.

“It was just meant to be a prank, though I admit that I couldn’t see the funny side of it I suppose now I imagine he wanted to be thought less of a youngling…But if anything it put him back in the eyes of the clan…He was forbidden from leaving the clan’s sight for a year after that…It didn’t stop him from pulling pranks but none as affecting as that...Mostly it was releasing frogs into the learning tent or learning to speak Goblin…”

“…He sounds like my half-brother…”

“…He was young then, beloved…And he was just as kind as he was a prankster…” Ohno whispered not wanting Nino to believe anything less of his friend. “Yes there had been days when the camp had been driven to distraction by the pranks he played but he was always the first one to volunteer if somebody needed help…He once climbed to the very top of the elder tree just to pick the berries from the top where they were sweetest…Just because he wanted the clan to taste them…And he could gather more wool from the trees than anyone has been able to do since…He was the life of our clan...And he was my best friend…”

“…Did you…Play pranks?” Nino asked gently caressing the Phoenix’s wings as they talked and Ohno shook his head almost tempted to blush.

“No…I was always the one that was on the receiving end…I…Have always been a little serious…All the many years of my life I have trained each and every day…” He admitted he had always had one goal in mind ever since he was born. He had wanted to be the best at everything no matter what it took determined that he would be the next king. “If it wasn’t for Yurrin I doubt I would have been even able to know how to laugh…Please do not judge your father on his pranks…I promise you that they were more humorous then I can tell you…I promise that there is none in the clan that would say anything ill of your father they all loved him deeply…As he grew older his pranks became less and instead he had a wicked sense of humour…If you will think of anything of your father beloved, know that he loved to laugh and he loved to make other people laugh just as much if not harder…”

*~~**~*~*~*

Nino studied the elven king’s face for a while not sure what to make of the man that had been his father. His mother had told him that he made her laugh like no other could do and that every time he walked into the room he had made her heart sing. He guessed that his father could have been just having fun while his brother was just cruel on purpose.

“…I would have liked to meet him…” Nino whispered honestly and Ohno smiled reaching out to stroke his cheek as he whispered;
“And he you…He did leave you a letter…So many things have happened that I forgot until now…”

Ohno pulled out a thick and heavy looking roll of paper that was discoloured with age and tied securely with a yellow ribbon. His hands shook as he reached out to take it his mouth feeling suddenly very dry. It was really use for him to try and read what was written as he could read or write but he wanted to see what his father had written and maybe he could ask Ohno to read it to him. Carefully he untied the ribbon and the scroll sprang open, the old paper making a crinkling sound as it unfurled revealing not one or two pieces of paper but six. The first was a large heavily detailed drawing of a person that could easily have been Nino himself. He appeared taller though and was broader than he had ever been and was sitting on a rock looking like he was laughing with a bird, yellow with purple flicks around his tail sat on his shoulder. The image filled him with warmth but the eyes were sad as they peered out from the page.

“Is this…”

“Your father and his bird…I…Drew that…He asked me to draw it a month before he died…” Ohno whispered sounding almost shaky “I never knew what had happened to it but now…I see that he must have known…He must have asked so that he could give it to you…He had his vision once…He told me that it was shortly before he returned to the clan…He never told me what it was…”

“Um…Would the letter tell you? Do you think?” Nino asked setting the picture carefully aside and holding up some of the parchment that had funny squiggles on it that he recognised as words. “Will you read it?”

“…You do not wish…It is written in the common…”

“I can’t read…” Nino mumbled weakly his cheeks flushing a bright pink and Ohno smiled caressing it again lightly.

“Something else that we will rectify…But for now I will read it to you…” The king promised taking the letter from him and clearing his throat. “My son…I…Do not know what to call you as I was not told your name…I have seen you many times in all of my visions but the divine did not grant me that…She did however allow me to see you, to watch you throughout your life…And for that I am grateful though in my heart of hearts I wish that I could have seen you and held you once in my life…Perhaps when the long years of your life are over and you are lain to rest in the stone I will be the one that will greet you into the warm embrace of the eternal light…But I hope that that will not be for 100’s of years…You will now know that you are bound to our king…Ohno Satoshi, he is a good man but has a tendency to be too serious…So you will have to be the one to remind him to laugh…In his vision he was told that only you would make him truly happy…I hope the same will be for him, I hope that he will make you happy my son…I…I’m sorry…Beloved…” Ohno whispered his voice breaking off tearfully and Nino did the only thing he could think of he leaned forward and pulled him into a hug their lips coming together in their third kiss.

Ah, some insight into Nino's father. Very interesting.
On a personal note....we found out that Arashi will have the concert at the Ko Olina Resort. It is a gated area so I'm not sure how my sister and I are getting in but she is going to see if we can move our hotel to one of the hotels there. Cross our fingers! Hopefully you won't read about us crashing some restricted area lol.
