As they walk Sammie felt like asking Fern questions. 'Whats your facorite color?" She said as they turned a right corner , almost there.

Fern considered for a moment. "Hmm..I like green. How about you Sammie? Whats your favorite color?"

((Um, I think you guys are doing a great job of role playing so far and this is a lot of fun. biggrin But…would it be alright for you to do a little more than a one line response every so often? It’s okay if you don’t, I was just thinking it would give everyone a bit more to enjoy reading and let us know more details so we can all be more absorbed into the story.))
Awakening from his short nap, Saberlin stretched, yawned, slowly got up and, leaving the room, went to splash cold water on his face.
He padded back into the room looking alert and inspired, ready to continue redecorating the room that would become his children’s nursery. Perhaps it was overly ambitious to attempt to do everything all in one day but, he reasoned, it was only one room, and Saberlin was extremely determined to give it his best effort.
Since the furniture conditioner still hadn’t completely soaked in yet, he turned to the second task of the paintwork. He and Fern had picked out the colours together long beforehand so the paint tins were already purchased and sitting in a scattered pile, some stacked on top of each other, beckoning to be prised open and used. He tied on a clean paint mask, chose a new paintbrush, cracked open a bucket brimful with paint and dipped it straight into a sunny savannah yellow.

((no problem ^^))
Sammie nodded. "I like the green and the ornage and yellow." She pointed to the soft green striped shirt. "What size do you think would be best?" She asked as she twitched her ears listening to other people talk.

((Sorry ^^"''))
Fern thought for a moment. "Hmm ,well they'll probably need newborn sized clothes. Thought we should probably get some that are a bit bigger as well, since they'll probably grow out of them quickly." Fern looked over at the striped shirt Sammie was pointing to. "Those are great colors. They look adorable on that shirt."

Paint, swish, dab. Nearly the entire lower half of the nursey walls were covered in the savannah yellow by now, neatly decorated without any lumpy bits or smudges. Saberlin was being extremely fastidious, taking the time and effort to get them just right, like when he was helping to re-attach a broken bio-engineered wing segment on a client. A few splots of the sunshiny colour decorated his clothing, skin and hair but Saberlin was far too focused to notice them, stretching up on tip toe to reach a particularly tricky space near the window. As he worked, he sometimes wondered how Fern and Sammie were doing with their shopping trip and whether he should have sent maids to accompany them.

"okie dokie." Sammie nodded and pulled out the shirt she had pointed to. "Like this size?" She asked Fern. She growled slightly when she heard people yelling at each other in a store next to them. "Why do people have to yell." She said flatly as they contuined looking for shirts and shorts or pants.

Cheria walked up to the carved wooden door to her half-brother, Saberlin's, house. Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door and placed her hand on her still growing belly, which rested her little one. She heard of an opening for a maid, and so, she applied, got accepted, and today was her first day on the job, though....she was going to meet her boss and then get settled. Her tail swished behind her, and her ears pricked and swiveled around (as best as they can) to catch all the new sounds. Cheria was very excited to meet her half-brother, and was literly bouncing up and down in excitement...and thats when the door opened, sealing her fate..
{{Just wanted to put an air of impending doomm... Jk!}}

((Yay, first post. whee It's really good too! biggrin
I think it's Kyu's turn before me so I'll have to wait before I post again. Can't be skipping peoples. xd
Edit: I'll play an NPC in the meantime, so she's not left standing on the doorstep. Lol. ))
As soon as the first knock had sounded, a figure was walking across the entrance hall to answer it. The last echoes of the knocking had barely faded before the wooden portal was swung open and standing to one side before her was a butler, wearing a very formal expression to match his very formal outfit.
"Greetings of the Harcourt residence. I trust that you are the applicant for the housekeeping position recently accepted? The master of the household has been expecting your arrival. Right this way, if you please" he greeted, pleasant and polite, intending to lead her to meet with her employer.
He showed no hint of expression about her apparent lioness heritage or about her present condition. For the sake of his job, he didn't need an opinion.
((Sooo....he's leading her to Saberlin so he can meet his new staff member. Saberlin likes to know everyone in his house. ^_^ Edit2: Also, feel free to take control of the butlers, maids and other household staff/other NPCs any time you like!))

Fern smiled. "That's perfect. We should get some girls clothes too. Cant leave the other twin out." Fern gently ruffled Sammie's hair as she mentioned the people in the next store. "Don't mind them Sammie, they're sure to quiet down soon."

'Ok. I think they have boys clothes on the other side." Sammie giggled when Fern ruffled her hair. "You messed it up!. Im sure your right." Sammie agreed and skipped over to the boys side of the store.

((Okay, I think I've waited long enough. Time to time skip.))
A steady tattoo drummed on the windows and and pattered on the ground outside, accompanied by the soft hissing sounds of falling water and wind combined.
It was raining, as the weather report had predicted, starting shortly after two o' clock and continuing on in a downpour that wasn't particularly strong but did seem very persistent.
By the looks of the sulking grey sky, it was going to continue to rain all through the next day as well. At least the grounds and gardens would be getting watered.
Saberlin hummed quietly, finding the rain soothing and also that it helped to block out distractions, such as the growing ache in his neck from having to lean back with his head craned at a peculiar angle for the past several hours. He finally lifted the paintbrush he was using away from the smooth ceiling and placed it on top of the tin of deep blue paint sitting precariously on the top rung of the ladder upon which he was standing. There, that was the entire room done.
The walls were a wild Savannah yellow until half way up, where they turned into waving grass stems that poked out into a powder blue sky filled with cotton puff clouds. As the sky climbed higher up, it slowly merged into a deeper and deeper blue until the ceiling had become a rich blue black filled with a single crescent moon in the very centre and twinkling stars. Saberlin was satisfied with his work. He hoped Fern would like the way he'd interpreted her ideas.
As he was climbing down from the ladder again, rubbing his neck and shoulders with a small groan, Saberlin was interrupted by a maid entering the room. His ears perked in interest as he watched her approach. Was there something he'd forgotten? No one was supposed to disturb him unless it was something important.
"Excuse me, Sir but the lady accepted for the new maid position has arrived. I thought you might want to meet her before she gets settled. Jones is bringing her to your office" she smiled, giving him a small curtsey.
"Oh" he blinked, recalling that he'd indeed advertised for a replacement after the old maid turned out to be a cyborg "That's right, of course, it's today. Thank you Sara, I shall go straight to my office."
"Would you like me to bring you some tea, Sir?"
"No thank you, perhaps some for our new maid" he suggested, leaving swiftly for his office, still covered in paint splatters.

Cheria clutched at her meager belongings. She nodded numbly and followed the butler into the semi-dark interior. Cheria shook, fear replacing the excitement that she had earlier. Placing a hand on her belly, she followed the butler to Saberlin's office. Her tail twitched and her ears flicked making her look more anxious than she really was. Looking around, Cheria realized that she wasnt in the right clothes. Cuddle Duds, t-shirts, and jeans were more of her style, not stiff black and white maid uniforms. She shifted her weight and look inside her bag for the tenth time that day. Her bag contained a couple changes of clothes, baby blankets and clothes, pjs, personal hygiene stuff, and (to top it all off) a soft pillow to rest her head at night. ((Thats what she can afford, really.... biggrin )) Cheria gently put her bag on a plush chair, and looked around. He really is wealthy! More wealthy than my mom and dad put together! Her golden eyes gleamed when she saw a book on the different regions of the world. Taking it down, she quietly thumbed through it, stopping at a picture of the Savanna. Then her eyes darkened with worry. Once, he saw her, will he ask her why she is pregnant? And if I tell him, will he chew me out for getting pregnant out of wedlock? Cheria gasped as movement in her womb surprised her. Dropping the book, she reached for the chair for support and sighed a sigh of relief. She ignored the butler, who for the first time, noticed her condition. "My child moved, dont worry." Cheria tried to assure the butler, who expression changed from curious to concern, but she was still shaken up by the surprise movement.

Sammie was wondering around that floor when she ran into Cheria. 'Who are you?" She asked loudly and scardely. 'Please dont hurt me stranger." She back away and lowered her ears.
