The joke had been one that Fyr, truthfully, had grown weary of. And she knew it was coming, once again, from the very moment that the dun stallion walked through the door at her husband's side. Although he was dressed casually in jeans and a T-shirt, dark tribal tattoos cut down his arms and around the base of his neck, set off nicely by his rich golden-yellow coat of hair. She'd only been washing dishes in the kitchen when Ropes and the horse had come in through the back door, laughing as they'd come, but it was more than enough to get the dragoness' back to stiffen.
"Hey, Fyr!" Her husband, a cougar with pale eyes and lightly writhing tentacles who had never been entirely of the mortal realm, said with an open-mouthed smile, forever at ease. "I brought Limba round, you've not met him before, right?"
The red dragoness stilled and swallowed, heart pounding. Oh, it was coming, she knew it was. She did the same with him, to be fair, teasing him about liking skunks and nudging him, sending him pictures of sexy skunk ladies... It was just an inside joke that they had between them, her with horses and him with skunks, and, really, it was not as if anyone that didn't know the joke would have understood it. It was certainly one of those things that one had to be "in it" to understand it.
But that didn't matter, even though she suspected that her husband, once again, was up to no good. Still, she did her best to smile, nodding politely as she dried off her hands.
"Sure thing," she said easily, though Ropes certainly caught the hitch in her tone. "Do you want to stay for dinner, Limba? There's enough to go around!"
Ropes grinned while the stallion shook his head, but it was not something that was off the table entirely.
"Thanks, Fyr," the equine said, his voice light and easy, "but I've got to head back after this, got something to pick up. Thank you though! I'd love to come by another time! Kao said you make really good pies!"
That softened her up a bit and she smiled, the conversation lightening around them while Ropes and Limba rested after, well, whatever it was that they had been doing that day. She'd assumed gaming or out at one of those nerdier conventions that had been coming to the town lately, but there was still a lot to do around the home when it came to her. They'd bought a larger, ranch-style house that came with a little land but was still accessible to amenities, with the opportunity to buy more of the adjoining land. It was still something that Fyr was going back and forth over, though Ropes was pretty flexible there, as always.
It was good, however, even if Ropes wasn't going to be silly and make stupid jokes, to see friends of his, feeling more connected to her husband's life, day by day. Sometimes they seemed to live their own lives a little more separately than others they knew, but as long as they were together they were always due to return, enjoying one another's company and lives too much to stay apart.
And yet... Fyr could not help but think that that little horse, shorter than both her brother, who he seemed to have taken to hanging out with too, and Ropes. He was cute, almost feminine, though she would never have said that to his face, for there was enough muscling in his chest and shoulders to show off that he certainly looked after his body. The dragoness, however, very much should not have been looking at him in that way, nipping sharply at the inside of her cheek, her tail whipping back and forth to slap herself on the ankle, trying to keep her head straight.
"Come on, Fyr," she said to herself, resisting the urge to go check on the three boys, all together in the living room in the middle of yet another gaming session. "Don't get jealous. He's just hanging out with Limba, nothing's happening, nothing's going on."
But why hadn't Ropes made the joke, the silly little joke of pushing horses on her and making a point of it, if nothing was going on? Fyr shook her head, sitting upright in bed, though tried not to think too much about it. Even if Ropes didn't have too many male friends, it wasn't all that weird -- or was it? The itch bugged her, as if it was just out of reach and she couldn't scratch it, shifting her weight back and forth, unable to settle to rest.
Maybe she should have realised that there was something there, her husband away more than he was home -- and, if he was home, Limba was around. Sometimes Limba and Kao, but it seemed like the horse was about so much that he had become practically a permanent fixture there.
When Ropes was home, that was. Fyr squirmed, heading out into town, wishing that she wasn't thinking about him so much. What the hell was even going on? There she was, waiting for him to tease and joke about something that just never came, and he was hanging around Limba more and more.
Was that the joke? Or was he just doing his usual Ropes thing and pushing her buttons, winding her up in that way that felines just seemed to be able to do without even thinking about it?
Yeah, she reasoned with herself, heading home to find Ropes' car and Limba's in the driveway, which was not all that unexpected anymore. Yeah, that had to be it. He was just winding her up, teasing her for getting her tail all in a twist.
Their laughter hit her in the face like a warm breeze as she walked into the house, spinning her truck keys around her finger with a musical jingle. It was good, even though she was wound up, to hear Ropes having such a good time and it pulled a reluctant smile to her lips. The dragoness slipped through the house, light on her feet, though she did put on a pair of soft house shoes so that she did not track dirt inside, seeking them out in the living room.
And there they sat with a couple of takeaway drinks, maybe milkshakes, maybe frappes -- she didn't often drink things like that. A second takeaway coffee sat at Ropes' right side as he leaned forward, eyes on the TV screen and some game that hadn't picked up her attention, though she did note the huge dollop of whipped cream topping Limba's drink, tucked within a little plastic dome.
She gulped and shook her head, turning her mind away from much dirtier thoughts that had no place in her mind at that time.
"Oh, hey, Fyr!" Ropes said, his tail flicking as he greeted her, a tentacle bobbing up over his shoulder as if it was paying her more attention than the cougar it was attached to. "I didn't hear you come in! Limba's here again!"
