[KAWAI]
The mating festival came to an end sooner than anyone had ever wished for. Everything was solely going back to normal and the Kawai citizens were slowly coming to terms with the reality that they had their king back.
"I have to go back home, Kosta. That is my home," Tamiko said to his erasthai for the hundredth time. He truly wanted to stay in Kauai and be next to his father but then he had some other things to worry about.
There was more about his life and the pain he had tried to hide one too many times that he wasn't just about to pretend that that shit didn't hurt. Seeing his father standing up for him at the ball had been the last straw for Tamiko's sanity.
Sure, everyone was glad that the king had humanity and could actually joke around, but Tamiko was hurting desperately it was breaking him on the inside. He had gotten a taste of what it meant to age a father that actually cared and he loved it.
