Lovely DreamScape!!

Aranya's eyes widened in surprise as Tod leaned in and pressed his lips against hers. The kiss was soft and tender, but the suddenness of it caught her off guard, making her let out a small, startled yelp. For a moment, she just stood there, her heart racing, before she melted into the kiss, her initial shock giving way to a warm, tingling sensation that spread through her entire being.

When Tod finally pulled back, there was a brief silence, the only sound being the gentle lapping of the waves against the shore. Aranya blinked, her cheeks flushed with a mix of embarrassment and something deeper. "…mmmmhmph…you know when i'm in the drem realm my dad is watching me intently right?"

Tod blinked, processing what Aranya had just said. His expression shifted from playful to a mix of surprise and mild discomfort as he imagined the presence of an ancient, powerful being observing their every move. "Your dad… watches you in the dream realm?" he asked, his voice tinged with disbelief.

Aranya nodded, a sheepish smile tugging at her lips as she glanced around, half-expecting to see a sign of him. "He mist be fuming, well i don't really care since i don't ever want to talk to him, but he will appear in his humanoid form"

Tod couldn't help but chuckle nervously at Aranya's words, though the idea of her father watching them was more than a little unsettling. "Great… so, we've got an ancient, all-powerful being keeping tabs on us right now. No pressure, right?"

Aranya let out a soft laugh, though there was a hint of nervousness in her eyes. "He can be… overprotective, to say the least. But honestly, I don't care what he thinks. I'm here with you because I want to be, not because I'm seeking his approval."

Tod's expression softened, and he reached out to gently caress her cheek. "Well, if he shows up, I'll just have to convince him that I'm not a threat. Though, I'd prefer if we didn't have to have that conversation right now."

"…hmmm ok" Aranya said like an innocent girl.

Azzy laughed, he already got her father's recognition so she wasn't worried, She playfully punched him on his shoulder.

Tod laughed lightly, feeling a bit more at ease with Azzy's playful punch and her confidence in the situation. "Well, if Azzy's not worried, I guess I shouldn't be either," he said with a grin. "Besides, I can't imagine your dad being too intimidating if he raised someone as amazing as you."

Aranya blushed slightly at Tod's compliment, but her gaze shifted to the horizon, her thoughts momentarily drifting. "He wasn't always… like this. There was a time when he was different. But that's a story for another time"

The life of an outer god was usually lonely even more lonely than that of an Elder God, She was glad Tod made her come out of her big pool of frustration and despair, She then went towards the shored snd say on the sand.

Her skin tight suit looked like a light green swimming suit made her look ethereal against the soft, dim light of the setting sun. The waves gently kissed the shore, mirroring the warmth that had settled in her heart. Aranya wrapped her arms around her knees, her gaze fixed on the horizon, the colors of the sky blending into shades of orange, pink, and violet.

Tod watched her for a moment, feeling a mixture of admiration and concern. He knew that being the daughter of an ancient god came with its own set of challenges, ones he could barely begin to understand. Yet, there was a strength in her—a resilience that drew him in, made him want to be by her side no matter what.

He walked over and sat down beside her, the sand cool under his hands.

Azzy didn't falter behind and soon joined them, flopping down on the sand next to Tod with a carefree grin. She stretched her legs out and leaned back on her hands, staring up at the sky that was gradually filling with stars. The trio sat in comfortable silence, the sound of the waves providing a soothing backdrop to their thoughts.

Azzy broke the silence first, her voice light and teasing as always. "You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd say we are looking like a perfect trio"

Aranya smiled and did not answer, As they were enjoying their peace Uri was suddenly sitting next to them. "Hello Tod, we meet once more, how is the Dreamscape, the last time you were here our encounter was cut short, you seem to be enjoying your time with the child of Azatoth and cthullu"

The Manifestation of the dreamscape said, She was smiling , Tod blinked in surprise. "Well i found it quite nice except for the fact we had some problems it's all good"

Uri then smiled. "Good, i shall leave you thre for now and also, Cthullu os coming so you might have to prove that you can take care of his daughter"

She disappeared back into the dreamscape. Tod swallowed hard, the gravity of Uri's words settling over him like a heavy cloak. The idea of facing Cthulhu himself was daunting, to say the least. He glanced at Aranya, who seemed calm, almost as if this was just another day in her life. But he could see the tension in her eyes, the subtle shift in her posture.

Azzy, ever the lighthearted one, leaned closer to Tod, her grin unfazed by Uri's ominous message. "Well, looks like you're in for a fun family introduction," she quipped, nudging him playfully.

Tod managed a weak smile, trying to keep his nerves in check. "Yeah, fun… I guess I better start practicing my 'impress the ancient cosmic deity' routine."

Aranya finally spoke, her voice soft but resolute. "You don't have to impress him, Tod. Just be yourself. That's all that matters to me." She reached out, her hand finding his, and squeezed it gently.

Azzy sat beside Aranya and put her head on her shoulder. "Yeah but i am going to dress you up when we wake up"

Arany pursed her lips. "I like clothes like the one i am wearing, i don't like revealing clothes"

Azzy rolled her eyes. "Says the one who is wearing skin tight clothes"

Aranya shot Azzy a playful glare, though there was a hint of amusement in her eyes. "There's a difference, Azzy. This is comfortable and practical. Besides, it's not about revealing or not revealing; it's about feeling like myself."

Azzy sighed dramatically, throwing her hands up in mock exasperation. "Fine, fine, I'll let you win this round. But don't think for a second that I'm giving up on my makeover plans. There's a whole world of fashion out there that you're missing out on!"

Azzy playfully wrapped her arms around Aranya's neck, her grin widening as she leaned in close. "You know I'm only teasing, right? I just want you to feel amazing in whatever you wear—because you are amazing."

Aranya let out a soft laugh, her earlier tension easing as she relaxed into Azzy's embrace. "I know, Azzy. And I appreciate it. But for now, I'm happy just being me. No need for any dramatic wardrobe changes."

Tod watched the interaction between the two with a fond smile, feeling the warmth of their bond. It was moments like these that made him realize just how special these two were—how lucky he was to be a part of their lives.

"Honestly," Tod said, leaning back on his hands, "I think you both look perfect just the way you are. No changes needed."

Azzy's grin turned mischievous as she released Aranya and turned her attention to Tod. "Careful what you say, Tod. I might decide you're next on my makeover list."

Tod chuckled, holding up his hands in mock surrender. "Alright, alright, I'll be careful. But I trust you, Azzy. Just… nothing too flashy, okay?"

Azzy laughed, giving him a playful wink. "No promises!"

After some time passed the trio woke up in rather strange positions on the bed. Aranyas face was on Tod's own and Azzy was sprawled out across both of them, her arm draped lazily over Tod's chest and her legs tangled with Aranya's. The three of them had somehow managed to twist themselves into a pile of limbs, their heads sharing the same pillow.

Aranya was the first to stir, her eyes fluttering open as she registered the unusual warmth against her face. She blinked a few times, realizing that she was practically nose-to-nose with Tod, whose peaceful expression made her heart skip a beat. Her cheeks flushed a deep shade of pink, and she quickly glanced to the side, only to see Azzy's mischievous grin as she too woke up.

"Well, good morning," Azzy teased, her voice a soft whisper as she wiggled her eyebrows at Aranya. "Looks like we had quite the cuddle party."

Tod's eyes opened next, and he immediately noticed the close proximity of Aranya's face to his. His own face turned a bit red as he tried to process the situation. "Uh… morning," he mumbled, clearly flustered but trying to play it cool.

Aranya carefully disentangled herself from the group, sitting up on the bed and brushing a few strands of hair away from her face. "Morning," she replied softly, still a bit embarrassed by the situation but unable to suppress a small smile.

Azzy, ever the carefree one, stretched her arms above her head and yawned, clearly unfazed by their cozy sleeping arrangement. "Well, I'd say we're off to a great start today! Nothing like waking up surrounded by Two cuties."

Tod chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck as he sat up as well. "Yeah, definitely a unique way to start the day."
