Newlywed Life (Jenna;TiffTiff)


Re: Destined Union (Jenna)

"It better." her mother said. "He should have met with your father already. Hopefully they're getting along."

And then Jenna and her mother traveled along the mountain until they found the entrance to the Great Hollow, which appeared only as a hole in the side of the mountain. To anyone else, it might as well be a tiny hole for an arachne nest. But once the two of them stepped into the hole, it soon became clear that, once they passed through the hole and stepped into a large, grand chasm, that the secret lair of the lizard clan was just beyond that hole.

The inside of the Great Hollow had no definite shape. The room they entered, essentially the main hall of the Great Hollow, was large and spacey. The ground was flat to make traversing it easy, and was lit by seemingly randomly placed white crystals that glowed bright with light, providing the lighting in an otherwise dark chamber. The crystals were held up by three legged poles on both hands, providing both stability and a place to hold the crystals up so that they can provide as much lighting as possible.

All along the walls of the main chamber were statues of old lizardkin heroes, which Jenna would remember, fondly or not. Each of their weapons were unique, and grand in appearance, as per lizard tradition, to own a weapon that symbolizes who you are. Some wielded long katanas, one used a trident, adopting the fighting style of Atlantis, and Fyre, the legendary lizardkin who developed the most aggressive combative art form, used a pair of savage axes, her statue carved to show the flames the two axes emitted, that burned so hot that lesser weapons melted from contact.

The statues were placed as randomly as the cave was designed. Only those of the lizard clan would truly know how to navigate the Great Hollow, and only by memorizing the individual statues of the legendary lizard kin. "How do you feel, finally coming back to your home after deserting your people?" Jenna's mother inquired, bringing up the fact that what Jenna did, leaving the Great Hollow, was equal to being a deserter.
 
Re: Destined Union (Jenna)

Jenna briefly thought about the Griffin and her father, wondering how they would get along. At least before the wedding, it seemed like her new husband would have rather objected to people like her dad, who had willingly gone off to marry a mamono. As she and her mother made their way to the Great Hollow she couldn’t help but think that her greatest regret about leaving home was that she missed her father. Of course, there was also the effect her leaving had on Gren… as she pondered all these things they got closer and closer to their destination, before finally coming upon the entrance to the home of the lizard clan. It looked for all the world like a simple hole in a mountainside, no bigger than the nests arachne sometimes used, but it opened up into something grand.

The main hall of the Great Hollow was somewhat shapeless, and absolutely enormous. Really, it was just like Jenna remembered it, from the light-bearing crystals to the statues of the great heroes of old that every lizardgirl grew up hearing about. Being here brought back so many memories, some good, some bad. The statues were the only navigational markers available, and it took a fair amount of memorization to get to the point where you could be confident you weren’t getting lost, but Jenna remembered at least where her home was. She wondered how the Griffin would manage to get around here… Her mother’s question snapped her out of those thoughts, and she frowned deeply. "I feel just fine. And I wouldn’t have left at all if you weren’t so hard to get along with sometimes" she grumbled in reply, beginning to walk towards her home again, where her new husband awaited.
 
Re: Destined Union (Jenna)

In order to find one's way home in the Great Hollow, the lizard clan dug through the caves in lines, using banners, flags, weapons and more to mark the names of descendants. Jenna would follow the markings with her mother, all of the familiar women of the lizard clan, each were a grandmother of her's, before she reached the most familiar one, the marking of her own mother. Jenna, now married, would know that one day, she'd have to dig, and make her own marking in the cave near her mothers, another branch in their family tree, before her daughters would do the same, and branch off from her when they get married.

Entering her mother's 'dwelling' as it were, Jenna would find Griffin with her father, who showed no features which Jenna seemed to inherit. In truth, Jenna looked like a variation of her own mother, blond hair and all. He had long red hair drawn back into a pony tail, and emerald green eyes. Of good build, looking like a fairly competent warrior, he sat across from Griffin, ending a light conversation they were having together as they saw the mother and daughter enter. "Ah, you're both home. It's been a while, Jenna." Jenna's father said calmly to his daughter. "What an interesting husband you chose as well. As it turns out, he's the son of a friend of mine I knew before I met your mother. Looks just like him, a pure bred Griffin."

"Yes, well." Jenna's mother cleared her throat. "Unlike last time, she won't be running away. If she does, I'm afraid I will have to remove our daughter's legs." she said irritably.

"Even mamono have a rebellious stage, sweetie." Jenna's father replied. "Let her be, she's settling down now to raise children, aren't you, Jenna?"
 
Re: Destined Union (Jenna)

The way to the home of Jenna’s parents was still quite familiar to her, because the paths were marked with very memorable things. The weapons and banners of her ancestors, and all manner of heraldry, adorned the entrances to the caves. To travel the ancient paths was to trace her family tree all the way from the first families to her own immediate family, branching off each other much like a literal family tree. Soon enough, she thought, she would have to dig out her own cave branching off of her mother’s… She would have to move her things, and she was not looking forward to it. This was all so sudden, and she had such mixed feelings about it. She did love her new husband, and she loved her family too, but she was apprehensive about moving in with the mix of all of them.

When they got to her mother’s home, the first thing Jenna saw was her father; the two of them looked absolutely nothing alike, he with long red hair, she with mid-length blonde, he with beautiful green eyes, she with dull gray. She had always wanted to have red hair like his, but she hadn’t been quite so lucky. Instead she looked like a younger version of her mother, more or less exactly. She noted quickly that he appeared to have just finished a conversation with the Griffin on account of his wife and daughter entering, and he turned to greet them with a calm, even tone. "Yes, it has been. Far too long…" she replied quietly, taking a few small steps towards him, trying not to tear up. He then revealed that her new husband was the son of one of his old friends from before he had come to be with her mother. "Really? That’s… kind of strange. Fate works in strange ways" she got in just before her mother interjected.

What the older mamono said made a little flash of anger bubble up in Jenna, though she didn’t say anything. Instead she merely turned, glaring at her mother for a second before her father interceded on her behalf. Of course, then he asked if she would settle down and raise children, and she bristled again. "Whether or not we want children straight off is up to my husband and I, and we haven’t had time to discuss that between us yet" she responded, which was true enough, but she really didn’t feel ready to have children yet at this stage in her life. Still, after that she took a few more steps forward, and lightly wrapped her arms around her father. "I’ve missed you, daddy" she whispered as she held onto him, "I’m sorry it took me so long to come home."
 
Re: Destined Union (Jenna)

Jenna's father returned her embrace, warm and loving where her mother's was cold and harsh. "And I've missed you, Jenna." he replied to her with a calm voice. "I heard everything from Griffin. I am at least glad to see that you have found the strength to pull through that disgusting situation." He groaned, hugging her tighter, knowing that his daughter was home, and not in the tent of some pig. Griffin seemed indifferent as always, though he did now carry a bit of a frown, as if the mention of what had happened to Jenna bothered him. Well, it should have, as they were now married by a Bishop, so their souls are forever connected.

"Well, the ceremony will be tomorrow," Jenna's mother alerted her. The ceremony itself is akin to making one's relationship known to a particular man throughout the clan, so that none have any right to challenge Jenna's husband, Griffin. Everyone would know who he belonged to, and they'd know quite possibly by the mental imagery that would be associated with both faces, during the act of public sex. "Tend to your husband... Feed him... Prepare him." Jenna's mother said with an almost dark tone. Such a tone drew attention from Griffin.

"More monster rituals?" he groaned. "I don't care what anyone has to say about it, but I'm beginning to tire of being pulled along through the dark. I would like to be more than prepared for this ceremony. I'd like to be told about it." Griffin said firmly.

"That is an issue with your wife." Jenna's mother said to Griffin, just as coldly.

"And issue with my mother in law as well." Griffin snapped back. "You try to pull you daughter along by a noose, do not think you can rope my neck."

The look Griffin got in response by Jenna's mother suddenly brought a sense of doom to the room that eclipsed all but Griffin himself as he looked up at her from where he sat like an unwavering, proud beast. "You will attend the ceremony." she said flatly, with a no-nonsense tone.

"I will do as I please." Griffin glared back at her. A fight between the two seemed on the brink of happening, and while Griffin was quite a force, Jenna would recall that her mother was dangerously talented as well. Both would not leave the fight unharmed.
 
Re: Destined Union (Jenna)

For just a little while Jenna was able to bask in the warmth of her father’s embrace, enjoying the affection he treated her with. It was something she hadn’t experienced much these last few years, after all. Of course, then he reminded her of her ordeal with the orc, and she made something of a face. "I don’t want to have to think about that daddy, don’t remind me" she said quietly, letting out a little "mmph" as he squeezed her tight. She would rather he hadn’t known at all, because that was one image that she didn’t want him picturing. The Griffin, for his part, still looked pretty indifferent to the whole thing, though he did have a little bit of a frown. It was probably an effect of the wedding magic the Bishop had cast on the two of them, a little bit of his hard shell melted away towards her by the connection they shared.

The reunion was ruined after a bit by Jenna’s mother, though, who promptly informed them all that the lizardkin wedding ceremony would be tomorrow. She blushed bright red as she thought about it, stepping away from her father for the moment; she and her husband would have to gather the interested members of the clan around the altar at the center of the Great Hollow, and have sex in public. She had been dreading her mother’s insistence on this, but there was no helping it. She would just have to convince the Griffin that it was necessary. He, of course, objected to the very idea of another ritual, and demanded that her mother tell him what it consisted of, to which he got a not particularly welcoming answer. The two began to have a verbal sparring match, the air getting tense between them, and Jenna could tell that if something didn’t happen they were about to come to blows. "You two, stop it! Honey, come to my old room where we can be alone for a while. I’ve made you dinner, and I can explain the ritual to you while you eat it" she said quickly, trying to intervene before anything happened. Though it would be an interesting fight; both her mother and the Griffin were quite skilled indeed.
 
Re: Destined Union (Jenna)

"Very well," Griffin replied. He rose, and went to Jenna so that they could leave the main room they were in, inside their cave structure, to the 'bed room' of sorts in the back. Quiet, he seemed rather heated up after that exchange, and was trying to compose himself.
 
Re: Destined Union (Jenna)

The Griffin got up at Jenna’s request, walking over to her and defusing the crisis in the making. For the moment. She gently put an arm around him, leading him back into the deeper parts of the family cave and into the bedroom that she and Gren once shared. "Yeah, I hope you like what I made for you. I don’t cook terribly often, but I think I’m good when I do" she said quietly as she laid out the bacon onto a table at the side of the room. "Here, eat up."

Jenna would wait until he had taken a few bites before asking "so, what do you think?" After they had finished the conversation about the food, she would tentatively begin the explanation of the ritual. "Now, I don’t like this idea any more than you do" she started, "but it’s the lizard clan’s wedding ceremony, and we have to go through with it in order to be recognized as a couple by the rest of my people. There’s an altar in the center of the Great Hollow. All we have to do is gather the clan around and… um…" she was blushing now, nervous at even saying this, "just… have sex on the altar… in front of them. That way people know… they won’t challenge you if they know we belong to each other."
 
Re: Destined Union (Jenna)

Putting her arm around him, Jenna seemed to be met with immediate resistance. However, as soon as it appeared, it was gone in that instant. Her arm wrapping around him, Jenna would find him turn a deep shade of red as he turned his head away from her, apparently quite excited over her gesture. Contrary to before where little she did brought more than a grumpy attitude, it seemed Jenna was having quite an effect on him. Sat around the table, Griffin looked at the bacon, and nodded to Jenna upon being given food. "Ah... Thank you." he said with hesitation, looking impossibly flustered. "Well... Let's dig in." he announced, taking the food and eating it without a care of where it was made from. "Ah..." he motioned as he ate, a slight flush on his cheeks. "I-It's... Good enough." he grunted, but the magic of their marriage gave his determination to be grumpy no quarter. It was clear he enjoyed the food very much.

As Jenna's sister would say, he was being tsundere.

After hearing about the ritual, Griffin's face seemed to match what Jenna might imagine herself to look like at the thought of participating in that ritual. "That is insane!" he snapped. "Pardon my Magi dialect, but of all traditions I've seen, this is far too savage! Those damnable girls from before were like hawks, I could nary get past them without almost getting into a fight with them!"

Re: Destined Union (Jenna)

The Griffin immediately seemed uncomfortable when Jenna put her arm around him, but at almost the same time his resistance to the gesture faded away. In fact he turned his head to the side, blushing bright red, and it almost seemed that his discomfort was rooted in his enjoyment of her touch… This was a pretty drastic contrast from his normal demeanor, a far cry from the grumpy soldier she had known to this point. When he sat down and she put the bacon on the table in front of him there was a brief pause, a hesitation, and then he thanked her and began to eat. She took a few pieces, chewing on it idly while she watched him blush, clearly flustered by this whole ordeal. The lizardgirl wasn’t sure how to feel about it. On the one hand she was pleased that he was feeling this way towards her, that he seemed to enjoy her cooking, but on the other hand she couldn’t help but think that it was solely due to the wedding magic at work, and that bothered her somehow. She wanted him to love her, sure, but she wanted him to do it on his own.

After Jenna had explained the ritual, of course, her husband took on quite the angry expression, snapping at her and ridiculing her people’s tradition as “savage.” "It is not savage!" she protested sharply, "it’s how we make sure we pass on our skills, and raise a generation that’s even better than our own. And you… you’re an attractive, strong-looking man. It’s only natural the others would want to bear your children." She was blushing slightly herself, the thought of what they were about to have to do quite prominent in her mind. "And that’s why we have to go through with the wedding ceremony in front of everyone. So they’ll leave you alone."
 
Re: Destined Union (Jenna)

"Absurd!" Griffin announced again, before his back went entirely straight, puffing his chest out as he seemed to take on a stance of defiance. "I refuse! If those other girls won't leave me alone, then I'll fight them all if I have..." Griffin trailed off, seeming to realize what that would entail. Even Jenna would know. Griffin would end up with a lot of wives. "Damn it..." he cursed. "I hate this place and it's traditions."
 
Re: Destined Union (Jenna)

The Griffin objected quite vocally to the lizard clan’s marriage tradition, announcing that he would fight off any women who challenged him. Which, of course, was nonsense. Even if he managed it, he would have a lot more suitors than he did now, and Jenna would be quite jealous. "Don’t say that so easily" she replied when he claimed to hate the traditions of her people, "it’s not that bad. It’s something we’re going to do anyway, just in front of others, right? We can… just pretend they aren’t there. You’ll like it here eventually I think."
 
Re: Destined Union (Jenna)

Griffin laughed in a sarcastic way. "Oh yes, everyone has been so colorful lately, surely I will come to love every obsessed lizard in this hollow mountain." he grumbled, before sighing and leaning against the cave wall. "... I can't believe how fat it got..." Griffin complained, looking down at his crotch, which he found very uncomfortable.
 
Re: Destined Union (Jenna)

"They should stop being too weird around you after the ceremony. That’s why we need to do it soon. After that, things will settle down and you can begin to enjoy yourself. Besides, dad likes it, and you’ve been getting along with dad it seems. I promise, we aren’t that bad" Jenna objected to the Griffin’s sarcastic response, a little bit annoyed with the dismissive way he was behaving. It took her a moment to realize what he was talking about getting “fat,” and when she did she blushed bright red, practically slinking down into her chair. She knew that it had been her doing, and she was terribly embarrassed about it. "It can’t be that bad, can it? Besides, you, um… you want to make me feel good, don’t you? I mean, even if it’s different, you’ll get used to it eventually."
 
Re: Destined Union (Jenna)

Griffin seemed nothing but dismissing of everything Jenna said. No matter what, he didn't seem to be convinced that it would ever be a good thing to do the ceremony. Then, when Jenna asked him if he wanted to make her feel good, that seemed to get his attention as he rounded, eyes wide at her suggestion. "I can't believe you're really pushing for this..." he grumbled. "I thought you and your mother were not on good terms, and yet now you side with her? Tch... Fine..." he growled. "I'll have sex with you in front of everyone..." he finally agreed.
 
Re: Destined Union (Jenna)

"We aren't on good terms, but that doesn't mean she's always wrong" Jenna replied quietly, "and it's not like I'm eager to do this or anything. It's just necessary, so that we can get on with our lives without being bothered by all the other women who would love to have you for a husband. I mean, these things aren't tradition just because someone woke up one day and decided it would be fun." The lizardgirl took a deep breath, sitting back heavily against the chair. "You liked the cooking, huh? That's good." She was kind of at a loss as to what to say now, what to do. She looked around briefly, taking in the sight of her old room, the one she had shared with Gren seemingly a lifetime ago. Those days had been both better and worse than the ones she found herself in now, though much simpler. "So... do you want to share a bed with me, or you want Gren's old bed? I... would like it if you'd stay close to me tonight..."
 
Re: Destined Union (Jenna)

Griffin just sighed at the whole ordeal. Not saying a word about it further, he seemed eager to let it pass. Then, she made her offer and notice that she wished for them to share a bed. And it was that offer that made him blush. Griffin seemed at first, bothered, as if he was going to refuse. Then, he turned to her slowly. "I... Suppose... If we're going to do that tomorrow... Then getting over physical contact with one another..." he trailed off, clearing his throat before he looked to the bed which they'd be sharing. He seemed unsure about who should climb in first.
 
Re: Destined Union (Jenna)

The Griffin took a little while to react to Jenna’s suggestion that they sleep together, blushing furiously and acting quite bothered by it. But slowly, very slowly, that began to change. Whereas he had looked as if he was about to refuse her at first, he stuttered out a bit of agreement, suggesting that they ought to get used to touching one another before they had to make love in front of the tribe tomorrow. Of course, the lizardgirl had few if any hang-ups about touching him, though she knew well that he didn’t feel the same way… it wouldn’t do for her to seem too enthusiastic about it, she thought. He wasn’t about to make the first move, so she waited a little while and slowly walked to her bed with her back to him, stripping off what little she was dressed in and tossing it aside. Her tail was practically wagging, but only a little bit. As she crawled into the bed under the covers she rolled them down for him too, patting the bed next to her. When he was finally beside her she looked over and whispered at him "if you want, we can just… you can put your arms around me, and we’ll sleep. But… if you wanted to… practice a little… we could do that too. Maybe you could be on top this time. Or not. I don’t care either way, it’s whatever you want, dear."
 
Re: Destined Union (Jenna)

After getting nude and climbing into bed, Jenna would see that Griffin was blushing deep red. "R-really..." Griffin said aloud. "And naked even... If I ever had a wife, I never would have expected her to be like you... You are far from reserved, but then, you are not human either..." he replied to her, before seeming to debate for a moment, and then he rose to his feet, and took off his heavy armor piece by piece. Down to his casual clothes, he removed his shirt, revealing his slim yet powerful build, and then, with hesitance, his pants, letting a semi-erect length flop into the open air, almost as big and intimidating as the orc's, but smaller to be just the size Jenna wanted, whether she'd admit it or not.

Coming towards her, there was no room in the bed to lay anywhere but together, so he laid on top of her. Blushing as he looked down at her, Griffin seemed very excited, which she could tell by the throbbing she'd feel from his tip touching her belly. "Well... We're already like this..." he said slowly, before lowering himself down to lay on top of her proper. So close to her face, he was unable to look away. "I suppose you're not bad looking... When I look at you with less of a critical eye... Maybe... Even kind of cute..." he said, though seemed in disbelief over what he just said.
 
Re: Destined Union (Jenna)

"I’ve always slept naked. Do humans normally sleep in their clothes?" Jenna asked gently from the bed, trying to make clear that she wasn’t changing anything about her sleeping habits just because he was going to be in the bed with her. He had paused again, seemingly still resisting the idea just a bit deep down, but finally he got up and began to take off his armor slowly. She couldn’t take her eyes off him even though she didn’t want to stare and make him uncomfortable. He had a fair bit of heavy armor, and it took him a little while to strip down to just his clothing. His shirt was the first to go, pulled over his head to reveal himself half-nude to her for the first time. She was impressed; he had a slender build, but at the same tme he was quite fit, his slim upper body packed with compact muscle. He hesitated to take off his pants, pausing for a while, before finally slipping them down. His cock, already partially erect, flopped into view for the first time as well, making the lizardgirl blush furiously. She still couldn’t believe she had done that to him indirectly. It was smaller than the orc’s by a fair margin, but still quite big and meaty, and it would surely be enough to satisfy her quite thoroughly…

The human walked towards Jenna slowly and, noting that the space beside her was too small for him to lay, straddled her and lowered himself down. He was still blushing furiously, and the way the head of his cock throbbed and twitched as it brushed against her stomach she knew he was excited to be in this position, if not fully accepting. The Griffin continued to get further down as she spoke, seemingly approving of her request for sex, until finally he was pressed against her, their faces inches apart. He seemed captivated by the look of her, just as she was captivated by him, and slowly, hesitantly, he gave her a sort of grudging complement. "I’ve always thought you were quite handsome" she whispered, her heart beating fast against her chest. He could probably feel it do so, they were so close… Finally she leaned up that last inch or so, giving him a quick little kiss and then settling back down onto the pillow, looking up at him with a face flushed red. Her new husband would have to be the one to take this beyond just hugs and kisses, but the lizardgirl wanted him to do so, to really make love to her for the first time… she wasn’t counting on it, though.
