ALovedTwilight (5:05:08 PM): Ishtar: *ears flattened with a pissed off expression made the way to where idiot had been staying with his ‘mother.’ He didn’t like anything about him really, but to be fair he hadn’t given him a shot to try to be … interesting? Not to mention Valiant forcing him to do this. Sighing heavily he looked over to his sister, she only there for moral support.*
Raina: *smiling and oblivious as much as she can be to Ishtar’s melancholy thoughts darts a few feet ahead of him, towards where they supposed Josh would be.*
Asharadine (5:13:14 PM): Joshua: *sitting out on a branch hanging precariously over the edge of the lake, a foot dangling just inches above the water, the other pulled to his chest with his arm rest over it as he looked out over the expanse of water that bordered what he now called home* Nothing like a sunset in the middle of a forest...*muttering to himself*
ALovedTwilight (5:30:29 PM): Ishtar: *snorts at the sight of the male cat hanging above the water before turning to Raina* what do we do now?
Raina: *grins brodely and bounds up to the tree and flopping on top of Joshua* Mommy said we have to come see you today! *looks out at the sunset* unless we are just going to bug you…
Asharadine (5:43:00 PM): Josh: *blinks and smiles at Raina and Ishtar* You're more than welcome to join me. I was just waiting for the sun to set. I've seen much prettier sunsets, I've travelled very, very far you know. I came all the way from Greece, high on the cliffs overlooking the ocean. It's quite beautiful.
ALovedTwilight (5:45:18 PM): Ishtar: *rolls his eyes and sits a bit away, staring at their reflections in the water. They looked NOTHING alike to him. Mumbling just barely audible he muttered* Yeah we have heard that a billion times from you.
Raina: Really? They must be pretty. Are you going to take mommy there one day? *dreamy eyed*
Asharadine (5:48:47 PM): Josh: *ears twitch slightly and Ishtar's mumbling* I don't quite know, maybe one day if she wants to go. You could come as well, maybe even meet Asha and my older brother Rain. He's king you know...We're from a kingdom, but I had no interest in politics, it's dull and has no use. Traveling with the Anbu has become my time. But now your mother is my life, and all of you.
ALovedTwilight (5:58:07 PM): Ishtar: And yet… you have done nothing to really show that besides get her knocked up. *Tilts his ears backward and kicks the water fiercely* really, what have you done but cause problems, and disturb everyone’s peace? Really when she talked about you, I expected something worthwhile.
Raina: *pouts* ishtar don’t be like that… he hasn’t done anything to you….
Asharadine (6:02:13 PM): Joshua: *blinks at Ishtar, flushing* And tell me Ishtar, what is it that you think I should be doing to prove myself to you? *puts and arm around Raina tenderly and rubbing her arm* It's alright Raina, it's fine...in a way...he's right.
ALovedTwilight (6:17:04 PM): Ishtar: *now feeling like an a*****e gets even more frustrated* Hell if I know. Just… whatever. Cut the ‘oh im a mother freaking prince act and start treating everyone like your equal.
Raina: *pouts and nuzzles into the male* I don’t think I understand you Ishtar.
Asharadine (6:19:45 PM): Joshua: Ishtar, I don't think myself any better than anyone here in this camp, or Ikebokuro itself. I left the kingdom to escape such things, my political and family standings hold up in Greece, here and I am just like everyone else and I prefer it that was. Do you see anyone in this camp call my sister 'Lady Asha'? Try it sometime and watch how quickly she snaps. I don't go as far as her but I see no reason to be given such formalities. *cuddles Raina* You hold something against me Ishtar, you have since i got here.
ALovedTwilight (6:32:49 PM): Ishtar: I don’t like how easily you can hurt her. I don’t like that you sit there and even now try to hold her above me. Valiant is my mother in all meaning of the word, and I will be damned if some pompous jerk tries to take her from me. *growls and looks away*
Raina: Maybe we shouldn’t have come… *bites lip and scoots away from Josh to touch ishtar, but is immediately rejected*
Asharadine (6:37:13 PM): Josh: Ishtar, I would never take your Mother from you. And I am not holding her above you, the time she spends with me is by her own choice. I knew she had you and Raina when I came for her. I didn't come her to take her away, hell I never thought finding your mother would bring be back to the people i felt were more my family than anything I have ever known before in my life. And I also can't help the fact that I love you. *sighs* I don't see why you have to hold so much animosity towards me..I'm sorry that you are jealous of my relationship with your mother...but there is nothing I can do about it. I Love here and that is final, noting is going to change my mind or make me leave her.
ALovedTwilight (6:47:26 PM): Ishtar: I seriously doubt two people can fall in love in a week. Quite personally I do not belive your feelings for her are true, or hers to you for that matter. Marrie and myself have known each other since childhood and have only just come to the realization that we belong together. And if your feelings are false for her, I certainly must belive that you hold no particular feeling towards me either.
Raina: Ishtar stop it! Your being mean and you know it… you cant say things that you don’t mean because you are angry. Joshua means what he says and if he didn’t you wouldn’t be as uncertain as you are. *glares* now stop it.
Asharadine (6:50:22 PM): Joshua: I have to put my foot down a little there. You still don't understand your feelings Ishtar as you are still much younger than I am. I know what love is like, and I believe in Love at First Sight, and that is what I felt with your mother. I didn't travel across the country for someone I didn't think I actually loved! There is a bitterness in you, that you need to confront within yourself, especially before you can even think or consider yourself truly mature and even close to the mentality of an adult.
ALovedTwilight (7:15:05 PM): Ishtar: *growls and looks over at him* Love at first sight is hogwash that is called ‘a.t.t.r.a.c.t.i.o.n’ Growing up has never helped anyone. And you know not the extent of my feelings. *stands up and gets ready to go, looking at raina and shaking his head*
Raina: *lower lip trembles and buries her face in Joshs shoulder* why don’t you like eachother?
Asharadine (7:18:41 PM): Joshua: Speak for yourself Ishtar, but don't go telling me how I feel when you don't know my own feelings. Hate me for all that I care, it matters not to me. I have more important things to worry about like your mother, and our litter that we will raise together. *wraps and arm around Raina, cuddling her again* Don't worry Raina, I hold nothing against your brother, but it seems as though he has a vendetta against me.
ALovedTwilight (7:26:19 PM): Ishtar: whatever, *storms off*
Raina: *bites her lip and looks away* He doesn’t… hate… you…. He doesn’t feel anything about you but… mild… distaste? He doesn’t like how you came out of no where and up turned things. *Brings her knees up to her chin* Mommy isn’t going to be happy with him…
Asharadine (7:28:27 PM): Joshua: *sighs and shakes his head* No...I don't she'll be too pleased with him at all. *shrugs it off* Come on now Raina, why don't you enjoy the pretty sunset with me? There is no point in dwelling on petty arguments and bitter feelings when there is so much beauty around out. Especially with such a pretty little girl like yourself here. You should have a smile on you face! *he chuckles reaching around Raina to tickle her sides lightly*
ALovedTwilight (7:30:02 PM): Raina: *wiggles from the tickling laughing hysterically* don.. Don’t, stop! *Grins at the sky and says nothing while, ‘sealing’ her lips like a zipper*
Asharadine (7:31:10 PM): Joshua: *grins* Now that's more like it! *taps her nose* How about you and me do something special for your mother tomorrow, what do you say?
ALovedTwilight (7:32:58 PM): Raina: *ears perk up* like what? *claps hands over her mouth and grins*
Asharadine (7:34:18 PM): Joshua: *leans in and speaks quietly* I'll catch a big fat bird for breakfast and you and me can gather some sweet berries and gather some pretty flowers for her and surprise her tomorrow morning. What do you think? Think she might like that?
ALovedTwilight (7:35:20 PM): Raina: I think she would love that! *grins* but is it a good idea to make her more fat? I mean flowers are nice, berries are nice… but a fat bird will only make her fat right?
Asharadine (7:37:35 PM): Joshua: Well between you and me She looks good with a little meat on that tiny little frame of hers. Besides you're little siblings in there need all the good stuff they can get, and a nice big bird is just the thing! Not a lot of good in getting a little bird like a Sparrow when I can get us something like big fat dove, they have some of the sweetest meat you'll ever taste.
ALovedTwilight (7:39:05 PM): Raina: finnne, and I wont tell her you want her to be more fat either. *pretends to roll eyes and grins* Besides, that would only make ishtar happy, we cant have that.
Asharadine (7:41:27 PM): Joshua: Exactly, apparently he thinks I have to prove myself to him. I know I gotta win over the family, but I think my mian concern is winning you over and I think I'm done good so far, haven't I? You believe me when I say your mother means the workd to me?
ALovedTwilight (7:42:50 PM): Raina: Just between you and me, I don’t have to take your word for it, I just know. *winks* how many babies do you think she will have? *ponders* I always wanted to be an older sister… not a mean one like ishtar though…
Asharadine (7:44:45 PM): Joshua: *laughs* Well I'm glad you're looking forward to being a big sister, I'm sure you'll be a big help. I look forward to being a father, I just hope I do a good enough job. I did raise Asha and she didn't turn out too bad. *thinks* In truth, I'm terrible at guessing these sorts of things...so I really have no idea, what about you, how many do you think?
ALovedTwilight (7:45:56 PM): Raina: If I told you what I thought that would be cheating! *grins and stands up* I’m hungryyy lets go eat pleassse? We should bug daddy too!
Asharadine (7:47:00 PM): Joshua: *smiles* All right then, lets go get some dinner. *stands up* Would you like a ride, fair lady? *winks*
ALovedTwilight (7:50:44 PM): Raina: but of course! *grins* though I would be careful… mommy may get jealous *winks*
Asharadine (7:51:24 PM): Joshua: *laughs and picks Raina up settling her on his shoulders and heads back to the main part of camp where dinner surely was alread set out*
Raina: *smiling and oblivious as much as she can be to Ishtar’s melancholy thoughts darts a few feet ahead of him, towards where they supposed Josh would be.*
Asharadine (5:13:14 PM): Joshua: *sitting out on a branch hanging precariously over the edge of the lake, a foot dangling just inches above the water, the other pulled to his chest with his arm rest over it as he looked out over the expanse of water that bordered what he now called home* Nothing like a sunset in the middle of a forest...*muttering to himself*
