The Cold: Part One
Fenrir was sitting on the floor, arms crossed behind her head, starring up at the ceiling in a dazed sort of way. She had stayed up way to late working on some drawings then had gotten up again way early so that she could go with her Daddy to the art supply store. Her Dad always said she had an endless supply of energy but she didn't so much feel like that today. In fact she felt a bit crumby. The Eevee girl sat up, stretched out, and then gave a sneeze that drew the attention of both of her parents who were in the room with her but also doing their own things.
"You alright Fenrir?" Baldric asked, setting aside what he was doing so he could better focus on his daughter.
The little girl turned her chocolate brown eyes his way then gave a nod of her head, "Yeah, I'm fine." She said, then lifted her hands up to cover her face as she sneezed twice more in rapid succession. She shook her head, "Just sneezes." She barely go the words out before she sneezed again.
Baldric and Hari exchanged a look before Baldric got up and walked over to her, kneeling down, and reached a hand out to lay it against her forehead. It was a motion that he'd seen done a million times to kids, had done to him on countless occasions when he was little, "You do feel a little warm." He murmured wondering if she'd picked up one of the numerous different colds that were going around these days. The colder weather always seemed to be accompanied by sickness.
Fenrir's ears turned forward, "Is warm bad?" She asked, sounding rather unsure whether she liked the look of concern that her Daddy was displaying on his face.
"Maybe, maybe not. You might just have a cold." He said, then looked over at Hari, "Do you think we should bring her to the doctor to be look at just in case?" Very much the overly protective parent Baldric was all ready for going to the professionals at the slight sneeze and elevated temperature.
Hari gave a groan then rose to his feet, "Get your coats, we are going to the store." He said, deciding to take charge. If he didn't do so now then they would end up with a pile of unneeded hospital bills.
Baldric and Fenrir moved to do as they were told, neither quite brave enough to go against Hari's wishes.

The Cold: Part Two
Fenrir had to admit that watching her Daddy and Dad arguing over which medicine they should get for her and what symptoms she had exactly was a bit amusing. One could tell that they had never had kids before so easily when at first they were looking at normal cold meds before realizing that there was a whole shelf full of them made exclusively for people her age. She looked at the different boxes lined up on the shelves, there were a lot of different colors and flavors from what she saw but she didn't know which one she needed either. She was sneezing, she was a little warm according to Hari so it had to just be a 'regular cold'. Daddy didn't seem to like the idea though, that it was so easily explained.
"Can we get the grape flavor?" She chimed in, not caring so much about the brand which was what Daddy and Dad were currently talking about, whether one was better then the other or would work better then the other. She had seen grapes on the side of one of the boxes they held and that was what she wanted. Might as well taste good if she had to take it 'once every four hours' as Daddy had read off the side of the box.
Hari and Baldric paused in the middle of their current arguement/discussion and turned to look over at the Eevee girl. She didn't seem at all concerned over her cold, aside from the occasional sneeze didn't seem to be bothered by it either. They exchanged a glance before both of them nodded.
"Sure, we can get the grape kind." Hari said, putting back the other boxes of meds that they had been looking over and trying to decide on.
"Should we get her orange juice and chicken soup too? They are good for colds." Baldric said thoughtfully.
Fenrir nodded her head rapidly, "I think we should! I like orange juice and soup!" She said in an excited manner, pausing a moment to lift her hands up to catch a couple of sneezes before adding, "Can we get some ice cream too?"
Ice cream had absolutely nothing to do with colds or being good for colds but none the less she thought that if they were getting a bunch of stuff anyway she would try to get some. Her Daddy and Dad seemed in a giving mood as they nodded, "Sure, lets go and get what we need from the food section then we can be on our way." Hari said.
The Eevee gave a happy sound and hurried along, towards the aisles that held the food and her ice cream!

The People Watching Show
Fenrir was starring out of the glass doing what she found to be one of the more interesting things that could be done. She called it 'people watching' it was like reality tv but without any of the commercials. The mall was the best place to watch them too, they were in groups, they were doing something they wanted to do for the most part, and they were just... plain interesting. Take the woman that was walking around the booth to the left. She had been there for a while now, comparing all of the different toys, and seemed to be trying to decide upon which would be better to buy a train or a remote control car. Fenrir had seen the woman one other time and she had been in the mall with you young son. The thing she was picking out much be for him she had deduced.
Then off to the right was a man who was starring at the glimmering rings that were under glass in a large and very expensive jewelry store. She liked to imagine that he was looking for an engagement ring, that he would bring it to where his love was at and propose in a highly romantic sort of way. Just the thought of it got her tail wagging, that would be so nice to see! It was to bad she never got to see people get their gifts, she just got to see when the givers were buying said gifts. She was certain that giving was much better then receiving, well unless it was a trade like with the friendship bracelets.
She lowered a hand to pet over the pretty colored gift she'd gotten from Tyra and had yet to take off since it had been given to her. So long as she wore it that meant that they remained the best of friends. So long as it was safe she didn't have to worry about the prospect of them not being friends. It was her most prized possession and the one that she took the absolute best care of too. She laid her ears back and found herself wondering if Tyra still had her bracelet too and what it meant if one of them lost the bracelet but not the other. The process of that train of thought was derailed when something interesting suddenly happened on the 'people watching' show. A man she had never seen before, one that had a strange look about his face suddenly rushed forward and crashed into a woman then bolted off in the other direction.
"Ah!" She gave a surprised squeak and jumped off the counter to press herself against the glass, quite shocked. That man had just stolen that woman's purse! The Eevee girl slipped out the door so that she could see where he was running too, watching him shoving people out of his way as he fled and just when it seemed as if he were going to get away with it a man in the crowd moved, taking him out at the legs and dropping both of them into a heap on the tiled floor. "Wow!" How heroic she thought, watching as the pair tussled for a moment but were soon broken up by mall security.
She continued to watch, to stare as the thief was cuffed and drug up towards the mall jail. It wasn't real jail and the mall security weren't exactly like cops but at least the bad guy had been caught and the lady would get her purse back. She watched as the man she'd deemed to be the 'Hero' headed back over to the woman and held her purse out to her. Fenrir couldn't help but wag her tail, head tilting to the side. Wow... surely now they would live together happily ever after since she was a damsel in distress and he was a hero right?
"Fenrir come inside and close the door." Hari called, "I don't want you getting lost."
The tone wasn't one that could be argued with so she slipped back inside missing what was being said between the heroine and the hero of the story. To bad, she would have like to have known what was gonna happen next...

Drawing Journal
Fenrir wasn't as good at drawing people as she wanted to be and was still working on her letters but was yet able to write so she was having a hard time with putting on paper what she had been wondering about. She had draw two bright orange people, two of her friends Piper and Cinead. There were two of them, two Torchic one of each gender. She looked down at the paper then turned her ears forward first and then back, eyes closing. She wondering if there were anyone else out there like she was, another with the blood of an Eevee in their veins.
Did she have another out there who was the same as her, if so she wanted to meet that person. She opened her eyes and she started to draw again, this picture was of herself and there remained next to her an empty spot that she wanted to fill in. She ran a finger over the paper before she set it aside and started to draw, this time a picture of Tyra.
She smiled, drawing herself in next to her friend and they were wearing brightly colored outfits that matched well. A little giggle came from her lips, she loved such outfits and wanted so much to be able to make them. That was her currently goal aside from searching for another Eevee child, to get to make clothing for herself that looked like the kind she drew.
They were lofty dreams for one her age, things that seemed to be beyond her grasp but she knew that it was something that she could aspire too.
With a blink she came out of her dreams of the future to stare down at her paper, before all of that though she would need to figure out how to write better and draw people better if she was going to design clothing for them. She set aside her current drawing so she could work on some random clothing which was her favorite thing to draw at the moment. She wanted a pleated skirt she thought to herself, a green one with a big pink flower on it. To go with the skirt would be stockings, one of them pink one of them yellow, bright colors those neon sorts. A white button up shirt and to go with that a tie of the same colors as her stockings...
And she was once more lost in thought, filling pages with random ideas for stuff that she wanted to wear though the idea of meeting another Eevee was still present in her mind as well.

Chatterbox
Fenrir was sitting in her brightly colored and slightly messy room, resting on her bed as she looked over the piece of white candy that she had obtained not to long ago. Her large ears turned forward, tail giving a lazy swish behind her, "Hmm... I wonder..." She murmured, reaching a finger out to poke at it. It didn't make sense to her, the cautioned comment that she and Hari had been given about how 'interesting things might happen' because of the Pocky. She wondered what sort of 'interesting' things would it be? Could it be?
"I will keep an eye on you for now." She told the candy before she reached over and picked up one of her pretty necklaces and fiddled with it.
Her father had decided that the 'interesting things' comment was nothing more then the salesman trying to sell more Pocky. It was nothing more then a piece of candy, the first one which was a free sample and the rest were going to cost them a lot. The candy did look rather tasty, didn't it? She starred at it, licking her lips before she slid out of her bed and trotted over to open up the top drawer of her dresser and got out a handful of candy, "I got a bunch of it from Halloween, I went as a rainbow! At least that was what Dad called me... I was just dressing myself up like I always do but.. they say that my mode of dress is a bit strange."
Fenrir didn't seem to think it was strange that she dressed in what she dressed in, didn't think it odd to carry on a conversation with a piece of candy. Instead she was just happy to talk it seemed, a social creature that would carry on a conversation with anyone or anything that might listen to her voice. She went and plopped back down on her bed as she ate a couple piece of candy, "I like caramel, its the same color as me and quite tasty but the sticky is bad. I don't like when I get sticky stuff stuck in my fluff."
She tossed the shiny wrapper over into the trash can that was across the room, it bounced off the edge then landed on the ground. Her chocolate colored eyes watched where it landed, "Oops, missed." She said as she slid off the bed to go and fetch it, picking the object up and looked it over, "I'd like a nice shiny skirt like this, sequins are nice." As she said it she tossed it into the trashcan and went to pick up one of her many fashion magazines.
The little Decorer girl rolled onto her belly, reading over the book and for the moment she forgot about her 'candy protection' mode since it was in her room and as such, safe.

The Sign Read: Do Not Touch
Fenrir couldn't help but feel a little bit of disappointment welling up in her chest as she starred at the Pocky that was still sitting on her nightstand a few days after she had gotten it from the store... it was still candy... there was nothing interesting that had happened, no magic.
Her large ears flicked forward and back, one small hand lifting up to poke at the piece of candy, "I thought something interesting was going to happen with you." She told it before her ears laid back against her head. She had really hoped that it would, something... special! Something that would prove to her Dad that it hadn't just been a gimmick by a pretty salesman but more then that. She wasn't the sort to say 'I told you so' but she would have loved to have seen the look on his face if some sort of magic had burst forth from the candy.
She gave a little giggle as she leaned forward, "Maybe... you need more time?" She asked of it, tail swishing behind her, "I don't know how magic works, I am not a magician so... maybe time is a necessity to whatever it is that you are going to do?" She reached over to pick up the candy, twirling it between her fingers.
"You look... sorta like a sparkler." Maybe it would burst into a flashing display of bright lights and colors she thought to herself... then laughed at the idea since it was one that was so absurd... candy that was also fireworks... She set it back down on the nightstand before she rose to her feet, "I will give you more time to set about doing your 'interesting' thing and then I will show Dad that you will do more then just get stale or grow mold."
The Eevee girl trotted over to her dresser, getting her sketch book and massive box of crayons before she headed over to sit down on her bed and set to coloring. She had a feeling deep down that if she waited patiently she would see what the man at the store said, she just had to hold out and keep her Dad from throwing away the candy before it could do something special.
It didn't take her long to finish what she was making, a large sign with somewhat messy letters that read: Do Not Touch and it was placed behind the pocky. That might stave off any attempts to throw away the candy she thought to herself with a rather pleased expression on her face. Now... she just had to think of what she would do next if the sign ceased working. She set her crayons and paper aside before she set to pacing to think of her next great plan.

Stale Candy
Hari walked into the living room that was a bit of a mess due to the one who was currently camping in it before he kicked one of his shoes off and into the chest of his business partner and friend, Baldric. The much larger man barely flinched, lifting his gaze to look over at his friend finding him in the same sort of growling mood that he was often in, "Can I help you, Hari?" He asked, a bit of a smile on his lips.
If he didn't look amused before he now looked even more so when his 'attack' was shrugged off so easily by the brick wall built giant that was Baldric, "Do you have any idea what your daughter is doing?" He asked, stressing the word 'your' as he had yet to truly claim her as his own even if she called him Dad and allowed one of her friends to do the same. He wasn't father material nor did he sign on to be one when Baldric decided to take that girl in.
Baldric tilted his head to the side before finally shaking it, "I'd assume something though or you wouldn't have your hackles up like this." He said, rising to his full and impressive height before he headed toward Hari with the man's shoe in hand.
"Yes, she is doing something! I am about tired of it too. I am not taking her shopping anymore if she takes everything that is told to her at face value!" He said, reaching a small hand up to poke Baldric in the chest with it, "I want you to go deal with her and the fact that she is letting food go stale in her room because some crazy salesman told her that a piece of candy would make her life more interesting!"
"Is that all?" He asked, holding out Hari's shoe to him, "Its just a faze, when she realizes on her own that nothing is going to happen she will toss the candy out. I'd rather not take it away from her and cause more trouble then a single bit of candy is worth."
Hari snatched back his shoe, dropping it to the floor so that he could stomp his foot back into it, "I don't like it, she shouldn't be so quick to believe everything that is told to her, even things that stranger say." He complained.
Baldric lifted a hand up to ruffle Hari's rust colored hair, giving him a smile, "You should be careful Hari, your starting to sound like a parent."
That seemed to the exact wrong thing to say as the man seemed to puff up, giving a hissing sound of surprise, "I... I... Damn it Baldric don't..." He lifted his a hand to smack away the one that was petting his hair and turned on his heel to stomp off down the hall looking like an angry cat in Baldric's eyes... he would have to make it up to him later he thought to himself before he returned to sitting on the couch watching some television. He wasn't at all worried, Fenrir was just going through a phase because she as lonely, only having adults to hang out with couldn't be any fun for her.
Once she had her fun in protecting the 'interesting candy' she would move on to another project, back to her coloring no doubt. He wasn't worried in the least.

A Pretty Doll
Fenrir came away when she heard a little creaking sound and then a thud from next to her bed... her ears gave a twitch and he slowly sat up looking around with bleary eyes, "Huh... wha?" She lifted a hand to rub it against her eyes to get the sleep out of them before looking around again... at first she saw nothing out of the ordinary until she looked first at her nightstand and the found the candy was missing from it, "OH!"
The little Eevee girl launched herself out of her bed only to end up with her legs tangled up with the form of another person and with a squeak she fell over, squishing the other person, "Ow... ow... what the... who...?" Her dark, chocolate colored eyes met the silver almost white eyes of the one that she had landed on top of before she scrambled backwards, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't see you there... wait..." It seemed to click for her that this person wasn't someone she knew, wasn't supposed to be here... and then she realized something else more important then that.
"AH! You naked!" She squeak, lifting her hands to cover her eyes, "Cover up!"
The boy blinked a couple times before he quickly lifted his hands up to cover his own eyes as she was showing him how to do... not sure how it would help but eager to listen to the one that was sitting there demanding things of him.
"Are you covered?" Fenrir asked, cautiously peeking between her fingers... only to find that the boy was still sitting there sans clothing and had only mimicked her by covering up his eyes when she told him to cover up. She looked up at the ceiling before she rose up to her feet, reaching over to turn on her lamp finding the night light wasn't going to be enough if she wanted to help him in getting really covered up.
"Ahh... its alright... I will find you something you wear, we look about the same size." She said, careful to keep her eyes looking anywhere but at the boy who had rose to his feet and was padding along after her on bare feet, "My name is Fenrir, what about you?"
The boy gave a little smile and shook his head, not sure what he should answer with... he had just been 'born' so to speak and was currently without name.
"No name?" She asked as she dug into her closet, looking through her rainbow colored clothing before she took out a pair of underwear, jeans with lots of embroidered shapes in various colors on them, a shirt with a heart with a smiling face on it and held it out to the boy while looking up at the ceiling, "Here you go, get dressed then we will decide on a name for you."
The boy took the clothing out of her hands, holding them to her chest before he stood there waiting and watching her. Fenrir shifted her ears forward and backwards before looking over at the boy once again, "Huh...? Need help?" She shook her head, reaching out to take the clothing back and set to work dressing the boy in the clothing quickly, like one would dress up a doll and couldn't help but wag her tail rapidly, "This is fun... you know what you need?"
The boy shook his head, "U-Umm... n-name?" He hazzard a guess, his voice a low and soft tone... a little hesitant and unsure.
Fenrir laughed, "Well yes, that too." She said taking his hand and led him over to sit down on the bed before she fetched a tackle box that held all of her hair accessories and her hair brush, "I think that you need to have your pretty hair done." She liked this, he was very pretty and he had nice, long hair!
She wanted nothing more then to dress him up and get to do his hair, "So... a name for you... a name..." She murmured, trying to think of something that would be perfect to him.
The boy gave a smile, sitting in a content manner on the bed while the girl took care of his hair making it pretty for him while she thought over his name. He was very calm, very quiet, and seemed to be happy enough to let the enthusiastic girl take charge.

Introductions Are Made
The little boy found himself led to standing before the mirror in the room by the older girl that had decided that she was his older sister now that he had arrived and... was starring with eyes a bit wide, "Oh... my." The boy breathed, lifting a hand to fiddle with one of the braids that she had put into his hair, the beads at the end rattling, "Umm... its very..."
"Bright?" Fenrir chirped happily, lifting her hand up to give a little tug at one of the braids playfully, "I wish I had long hair like this then I could braid my own hair but... getting to style yours will do just fine." She seemed to be having far to much fun with her new companion and dress up doll.
The boy gave a nod before asking, "Can we... get me a name now?" He murmured, sounding as though he didn't want to be rude and didn't want to push but he was looking forward to being able to have a name like Fenrir did.
The girl gave a nod as she looked him over one last time, "Yeah, we will bring you to meet Daddy and Dad and they can help us to find you the perfect name. After all they found my name and its pretty awesome if I do say so myself." Which she did, along with saying a whole lot of other things being the talkative girl that she was.
"Daddy... and Dad?" He murmured, a little surprised to find that he now had a pair of father's on top of his sister, a rather surprising addition and one that brought a soft smile to his face.
"Yep, they didn't think that keeping the Pocky around would result in anything interesting but I did, I believed the pretty salesman! I knew that he wasn't lying!" She said, squeezing the white haired boy's hand before giving a little tug and led the way across the room to the door. She reached her free hand out to open it up and led the boy down the hall to the living room. The lights were on there, one could the television going and both the men were sitting on the couch. Only Baldric was really paying attention to what was going on on the screen, Hari on the other hand was sketching as he was often doing, designing new tattoos no doubt.
The young boy's grip tightened on Fenrir's hand, eyes going a bit at the sight of the pair. One of them had long red hair, multiple piercings on his face, and some tattoos under his eyes and the other one was a giant with one facial tattoo and his nose pierced... these were Daddy and Dad? He took a step closer to Fenrir as though he was completely intimidated by the two men. She didn't seem bothered though as she strode forward into the living room in a very confident manner, placed herself and her companion between the couch and the TV, and waited until she had the full attention of both men.
"Fenrir...?" Both murmured, eyes widening slightly when they saw that she wasn't alone... which made no sense to them since she had gone to bed hours ago, "Who is your... friend?" Baldric asked.
Fenrir's tail set to wagging, her ears turned forward, and she gave a bright smile, "This is the 'interesting thing' person that appeared from the Pocky that we were given." She said, "He is my new little brother and we need to find a name for him."
Silence reigned in the room...

His name is Kiyoshi
"That's a boy?" It was the first words out of Hari's mouth and not really the nicest thing that he could have said but for the moment his brain wasn't working. A child...? A child had sprung up from the candy that Fenrir had been watching over? Just the idea of it was insane! They had been warned that something interesting might happen but they never mentioned a child would spring up! He started to twitch at the mere idea of it, that someone would trick people into taking in a child.
The young male looked up at Hari with wide eyes, head tilting to the side, the beads in his hair giving a rattling sound before he stepped in closer to his sister who he seemed to see as being his protector.
Fenrir looked over his shoulder at the little boy before giving a little giggle, "Yes, he just needed some clothing so... I shared mine with him." She said, patting the boy on the head in an affectionate sort of manner, "I think that he looks very pretty."
Baldric rose to his feet, to his full height and walked over to the small children that were standing in front of them before he knelt down, "Alright, lets think about this then... you said he was in need of a name, right?" He seemed in all ways unfazed by the new arrival, instead just wanted to help him out. Baldric had always wanted a family and now he had two children a son and a daughter to look after and Hari... so what was Hari, no doubt the wife giving his attitude. He did his best not to laugh at the thought, if Hari had any idea the other man would strangle him.
The boy nodded his head rapidly, "Yes, please."
Hari gave a low sound in his throat similar to a growl, "Aren't you... at all bothered by this? By this... boy appearing here?" He asked.
Baldric looked over at Hari before giving him a smile, "Getting upset isn't going to help us in anyway and it will only upset the children, we need to just relax and think this over is all. What we want to do from here. I think that we need to just see about finding him a name and getting a set of bunk beds for Fenrir's room."
"Bunk beds... so we have two of them now..." He murmured, leaning forward to rest his arms on his lap as he watched the two little ones. Two kids... he'd never even thought about settling down or even having one kid let alone two of them and rather... strange ones. One that had large ears and a fluffy tail that dressed like a rainbow and the other one a boy who looked like a girl that was born from a piece of candy... it was all very surreal.
Fenrir's tail started to wag behind her rapidly, a happy look on her face, "Really? Yay!" She squealed happily, bouncing up and down in place.
The young boy gave a smile too, his happiness a little enthusiastic and loud then that of his sister.
"Now that everyone is in agreement, the name." Baldric said as he rose to his feet and walked over to get his lap top, turning it on and when it was booted up he went searching a name site for a name that would fit the boy before him perfectly. It took a while for him to find one, the look of him, the way he acted, his coloration, everything... and he gave a smile, "Here we go."
He set his lap top down on the floor, closing it before he turned his attention to the boy, "We are going to call you Kiyoshi, its means 'Pure'. Given your coloration I think that its perfect."
The boy gave a nod of his head, "Kiyoshi." He murmured, testing the name before he perked up and gave a bright smile, "Yes, thank you."
Baldric rose to his feet, "Your welcome Kiyoshi, now how about you and Fenrir go back to bed. It's late and we will need to go shopping tomorrow if we want to get you new clothing and find a set of bunk beds for the two of you to sleep in. I will leave it up to you to figure out who gets the top bunk and who gets the bottom bunk."
Fenrir nodded and took Kiyoshi's hand and lead him out of the living room and back to the room that they were going to share so they could rest for the night, looking forward to the morning, "I will make sure to find only the best clothes for you to wear, don't worry little brother."
Kiyoshi gave a nod, trusting in her judgment even though she seemed to be a big fan of the brightest of colors and patterns.

A Day on the Job
Kiyoshi was sitting on a seat turned around backward, arms crossed on the backrest, head resting on them as his older sister did what she often did, used him as a dress up doll. Not that he minded, strangely enough if one could get passed the blinding colors she did well at picking out clothing to for him and her to wear, she did his hair up in pretty if girlish styles, and she was very much her own person. He was for the moment lacking in that thing that made him a separate entity from his sister. He felt that when he was able to become more then her doll he would be stronger for it. At the moment though he was content where he was with no huge plans to change himself.
It was because of Fenrir, his dear sister seemed so... lonely, one could see it in her eyes if they looked closely enough. Always among grown ups aside from himself with nothing to do but watch them. Kiyoshi knew that she needed him just the way he was.
The boy's silver eyes fluttered open when he heard the chiming sound that belonged to the bell that hung over the door and a beast of a man... or creature came in through the door. Kiyoshi's eyes went wide in shock, a squeak sound escaping his lips as he looked up at him. The man was... massive, about the same height as his Daddy Baldric but seemed to be almost as wide as he was tall. He had a thick beard that fell to mid chest, lots of tattoos that seemed to cover most of his visible skin, and a thick bullring in his nose... not to mention a set of twisted horns that rost from his hair making him look somewhat demonic.
"Its alright, hes a regular." Fenrir whispered, patting her brother on the head as she set to work weaving more rainbow colored beads into his hair, "Hello Charm, are you here for another piece?" She asked, her fingers moving swiftly through her brother's hair.
The brute of a man walked over to look down at the pair, giving a little laugh, "Is this place a hair salon now too?" He asked, his voice quite deep and rumbling.
"Naw, this is my little brother Kiyoshi. He gets special treatment from me because of that." She said, lifting her head to give the man a bright smile, "But if you like I could weave some beads into your pretty beard."
The man gave a chuckle, "That's quite alright. A brother, eh?" He held a massive, slightly furry hand out to Kiyoshi, "The call me Charm."
Kiyoshi found himself starring at a hand that was easily the side of his head and it took all his courage to lift a hand to shake it, "K-Kiyoshi..." He said, lifting his gaze to stare a long moment then looked quickly back down at the floor.
"Skittish little thing isn't he?" He said, reaching his large hand around and swiftly picked the tiny boy up out of his chair drawing a shreik of surprise from Kiyoshi and giggles from his sister, "Come on now, I promise that I won't eat you." The man said before he started to laugh.
"What in the world are you two doing out here..." Hari paused mid sentence as he strode forth from the backroom about ready to tell the two kids that they were in a place of business and needed to quiet down when he saw the one who was antagonizing them, "Charm." He said crossing his arms over his chest, "Baldric is getting things ready in the back."
The man nodded, lifting Kiyoshi up to set the boy on his shoulder and the little one couldn't help but grab hold of one of his horns to steady himself, "Alright, for now you could always sit and talk with me, you know until he's ready?" The man said, giving a huge grin behind his beard.
Hari puffed up and turned his head, "Not in a million years Charm, continue to play with the little kids since they share the same IQ as you." He said in a rather haughty manner before turning on his heel to head back into the back room to hurry Baldric along.
Kiyoshi turned a confused expression to Fenrir, he'd seen their Dad in a lot of moods but that one was different.
"He's mad cause Charm is always here asking Baldric to run away with him." She said with a giggle, "Dad is jealous I think, even if he tells Daddy that he can leave any time he wants." She wagged her tail and then gave a motion to Charm, "Can I have my brother back? I need to finish his hair."
"Maybe I will just steal this one away when he's old enough." He said with a laugh.
Fenrir gave a bright grin, "I will make him pretty for you, don't worry. He will make a nice bride."
Kiyoshi looked up Charm with wide eyes that only got wider when Fenrir proclaimed that she would make him into a bride and he turned to dash after Hari, seeking protection from the scary man and his sister.
As he ran off Charm and Fenrir fell into peels of amused laughter...
