((Yeah sure!
Dakota was anxiously waiting in the room where he had decided to meet Alma and Roman. He paced, rehearsing possible things he could say to them.

Alma was walking with Roman to the room. She'd been stressed the whole day due to her and Roman having to work around their schedule to plan the trip they had to basically start tomorrow morning if they were to make it on time.

Dakota looked as Roman and Alma opened the door to the room. He swallowed before telling them to sit down. Roman expressed his concern as he sat.

Alma looked a little concerned as well, assuming something was wrong as she waited for Dakota to speak.

Bruno took a deep breath before saying, “so.. you know how I’ve always been close with the other guides? That’s because. I am one.” He said, “I wasn’t named after Dakota I am him.”

Alma blinked once at that. She didn't really know what to say. She then smiled sheepishly after a long moment. "So that means your partner isn't out of your league like Roman thought." Nothing really changed at Dakota's news, just that he had a bit more authority than they realized.

Roan has scoffed and gently hit Alma’s arm, “I did not say that... I just said it was odd they were together.” Dakota shrugged, “well, now you know why.”

Alma snickered at Roman. She then sighed, getting serious again as she said to Dakota "Well, this won't change how we see you. Well, in the sense of a friend." Obviously things would be different now though.

“Thank goodness. I don’t want you guys to suddenly change the way our friendship works.” Dakota said. “Especially you Roman. I still just want to be your normal advisor. Just like before.”

Alma looked between the two. "Dakota is right. Him being a, um, guide shouldn't affect the friendship you two have." It was still a lot to process though.

Roman shook his head, “I kind of knew already. I mean, why else would a commoner like you have such a bond with the other guides?” He said. Dakota looked nervously between the two as he said, “I could show you if you’d like.” He then looked as Roman nodded. Dakota then took off his shirt so they could see the full affect of his tattoos glowing blue as he closed his eyes and changed into the eagle others knew him as.

Alma watched curiously as Dakota changed. Now, magic wasn't really something that was seen amongst mortal creatures. It was almost nonexistent except for those that carried enchanted items acquired from who knew where. So, seeing Dakota change shape was... different, to say the least.

Dakota looked between the two. He looked to their faces and immediately had a face of regret. I’m sorry if this is too much for your to handle... I just though you should know. Roman, your parents know as well. And your son or daughter will be taught by me and will find out eventually as well.. if you’ll have me. He then let out what sounded like a sigh, his feathers fluffing up to show his discomfort. “O-of course. That was the plan anyways. For you to teach our children..” Roman said. Dakota nodded, wishing he had Nim by his side.

Alma was quiet for a moment before speaking again. "We see a... little differently now, but it's not like we're going to run you out of the kingdom or anything. You're a friend to us, and the kingdom. Hopefully you'll stick around after this."

“I will.” Dakota promised. He then sighed saying, “I’ll leave you two to further process this. If you need me I’ll be in mine and Nim’s room.” He said, excusing himself.

Alma watched Dakota go before looking over at Roman. "I think he expected us to take it less lightly?"
Nim had gotten back to their room earlier, quietly laying on the bed in his humanoid form, pointed ears twitching occasionally.

Roman nodded, “I honestly can’t tell you what he was thinking.” He then smiled, “but you know what this means right? I was trained by a god!”
Dakota came in with a huff. Then without a word he went over to the bed and hugged Nim tightly.

Alma laughed. "You were, and look how you turned out. Perfect." She smiled gently. "You said you basically knew, but I think it's good that he got to speak first."
Nim blinked as Dakota did this. He gently hugged the other guide. "Did everything go alright...?"

“I also didn’t want to make any assumptions, so I waited for him to approach me.” Roman said simply. “Does that make me a Demi god though?” He asked. It didn’t. Not even close.
Dakota sighed, burying his face in the crook of Nim’s neck, “it did. They took it well I think.. it’s just nerves that I’m feeling.”

(Okay but honestly Roman had me thinking about the Spongebob trailer when Patrick says his name means toaster in Celtic and then tumbleweed Keanu says "uh, pretty sure it doesnt")
Alma raised a brow with an amused smile. "No, but it means you're luckier than a lot of people, huh?"
Nim smiled softly, saying "Well, they still see you as a friend. Nothing will change, so don't get too anxious over it."

((Lmao
Roman looked a little disappointed. He then jumped at the opportunity to be flirtatious as he said, “yeah, I am. But it’s not just because of that. His training wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. Im lucky mainly because I have you by my side~”
Dakota smiled a little up at Nim, “you’re right. But still, I need a few moments like this to help.” He said softly, kissing Nim’s neck gently as if to try convincing him.

Alma smiled fondly at Roman. "I'm the lucky one, honestly. I mean, you're the best guy out there, and you chose me."
Nim purred softly at the contact, tilting his head to the side to give Dakota better access.

Roman rolled his eyes, “you’re just saying that because I was a prince. You could have ended with much more graceful and manly of man. You’re lucky I had a glow up.” He said, giving her a charming smile as he stroked his facial hair.
Dakota smirked, turning his kisses into love bites.

Alma snickered before saying jokingly "Well, you were a bit of beanpole when we first met."
Nim kept his arms around Dakota, keeping him close as he enjoyed the feeling.

Roman smiled and then stood to flex, “well look at me now. Not so much anymore huh?” He asked as he looked to her, “I should give you a further look back at our room~” he said. He was right though, he was quite muscular now, even having that upside down triangle shape from his chest to his waist.
Dakota knew exactly where Nim was most sensitive and focused his attention there.

Alma smiled mischeviously. "Trying to make me sore before the trip, hm?" Part of her honestly wouldn't mind being a little too sore to go. She wasn't too keen on bargaining with whoever these mystery people were.
Nim purred quietly at this. "S-Should we stay here?" He was wary of the servants hearing him.

“Yes.” Roman said simply, “besides, we rarely have time to ourselves.” He approached her, “so we should take advantage of it.”
“Mmm~ why be so shy? Let them hear you.” Dakota said softly.

Alma smiled up at Roman. "Agreed~" She eyed him mischeviously. "Let's head back to our room then, hm~?"
Nim blushed at his, continuing to purr as he said "You want t-to make sure that they know I'm yours~"

Roman smiled before simply just picking his wife up to ferry her to their room, not caring who saw them on their way.
Dakota snickered, “exactly~” he said before going back to kissing Nim’s neck.
