youngshorty Jessia thought about it as she ate a few more bites to the meal. She couldn't think of anything that would require her straying too far. She shook her head and took another bite of food.
"Not really...I don't think I'm even ready to venture outside yet..." "Well... I think there might be someone you'd like to see. I know this person has been pestering me day in and day out to see you. Apparently you know how to wiggle into people's hearts and cause them concern. I've never seen so much fuss over one person before..." Stefan murmured softly. "But, before I go and get this person," he murmured quietly, leaning in to steal a kiss, his lips softly brushing to her own only for a moment before he moved from the bed and towards the door.A few moments later, a hand was visable as the door was pushed open. Slowly, a familiar pair of brilliant, deep blue eyes peeked into the room, accompanied by pale bangs falling into his face. Slowly, and sheepishly, he stepped into the room. "Hello Jessia," Polie said softly, moving towards the end of the bed, and standing there. "Are you okay...? Me been worried 'bout 'ee..."Polie wasn't alone. From behind his legs spread two pastel, rainbow-colored wings, followed by a slender tail with a tuft of fur at the end of it flicking. Slowly, two bright pink eyes peeked out from behind his leg. It was a little girl in a pink dress. She had markings on her face, and purple hair with pink streaks. The purple, pink-streaked bangs fell across her forehead and she watched Jessia with intelligent, curious eyes. It was obvious by the solemn look on her lips that she was analyzing the wolf, deciding whether or not she liked her.

Jessia smiled a little when he kissed her. She never thought of herself as the type to worm herself into other people's hearts, but as Stefan had pointed out to her, she did.
Seeing Polie enter the room, she did feel much better at seeing the polar bear. She smiled more as her green eyes danced a little in their silent joy at seeing the bear again.
"I'm fine, Polie. Stefan's been taking care of me...How are you holding up?" She asked, concerned knowing her friend was sensitive to some things.
From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the little wings and tail and blinked, turning her attention to the little girl hiding behind Polie. She tilted her head a little, her tail swishing mildly as she glanced to Polie. "Who is the little one, Polie? Your sister?" She didn't know the girl was Polie's daughter.

Polie let out a small sigh of relief and smiled gently, blue eyes warm and welcoming. "Me be fine, thank 'ee for asking... Me was just very worried about 'ee." Polie glanced back towards the door before leaning against the end of the bed, lowering his voice to a quiet whisper. "Me thinks Stefan fancies 'ee in a deep, deep manner." The polar bear then turned his attention down towards Nuwairah, and began laughing cheerily when she asked if it was his sister. "No, no. Nuwairah is me daughter."
When Jessia looked towards her, the gryphon's tail flicked. Her pastel, rainbow-colored feathers ruffled, standing nearly out on end. Her ears lifted and flicked backwards as a small growl escaped her. The attention had been turned towards her too quickly for her own taste. The nine year old quickly ducked back behind Polie's leg. "Papa," she murmured softly, rubbing her face against the back of his leg. Her voice was small and quiet, accompanied by deep rumbles that were well known sounds that gryphons made. The little tail flicked again, and she continued with her gryphon-like squabbling for a moment before she finally mumbled out a small, "Hello," to Jessia.

Jessia smiled.
"She's very pretty, Polie. You must be proud of her."
Never being aquainted with a gryphon before, and knowing very little of them, she stayed where she was. When Polie told her Stefan seemed to have deeper feelings for her, she blinked at him in light disbelief.
She shook her head. "No he doesn't..." It was really denial on her part. She was the type that rarely allowed many very close to her heart and if she did, they weren't lovers.

"Me be very proud of her," Polie said with pride in his voice as he looked down. Once his eyes landed on Nuwairah, a look that had never been seen entered them before. It was a look just for his precious little girl. He waited until she peeked out from behind his leg again before setting his hand onto her back, fingers gently playing with her feathers. "Well, then 'ee be blind. Everyone knows that Stefan does... that demon always be talkin' 'bout 'ee..."
Nuwairah's lion tail swished about as she reached up and let out a purr mixed with the gryphon-like rumbles. Taking a hold of his arm with both of her small hands, she pulled his hand from her head to infront of her face. Gently, she rubbed her face into the palm of his hand, tail swishing happily as she began to delicately nibble at his fingertips.

Jessia smiled, watching her friend and his daughter. She shifted a little, being careful of her neck and the bandages there before she blinked at her friend. "He's always talking about me?"
She fell silent for the moment. She admitted only to herself that she felt a curious liking to the demon raven and that she never thought they would even become friends... She thought the same about Miika who had left their lives and Stefan assured her it was for the better....Still she hoped to see Miika again someday.

"Yes, 'ee does... and 'ee really likes 'ee." Polie smiled brightly and gently nuzzling Nuwairah as he picked the small child up. "Nuwai is hungry, so me need ta go feed her..." Polie turned around and then looked over his shoulder at Jessia. "Stefan kissed 'ee... next time 'ee does that, try kissing him back, then 'ee will see." The bear giggled and moved out of the room swiftly to get Nuwairah food.
Stefan blinked as he stepped inside the room, looking down the hall, watching as Polie giggled while going down the stairs. The demonic raven raised a brow lightly and shook his head, before turning to look back towards Jessia with a gentle smile on his lips, a tender affection in his eyes. "Did you two have fun talking?" Chuckles lightly and sits on the very end of the bed, watching her.

Jessia's cheeks burned at Polie's suggestion as she waved to him as he left. When stefan came back, her cheeks still maintained a pink tint but she nodded. "Yea....his little one's adorable..."
Granted she didn't actually speak to the girl, but she assumed the kid was adorable. She smiled up to Stefan. "So what did you do while he was here? Just stand out front?"

Stefan chuckled lightly. "His little one is a small fire-ball. She bit me just a couple of weeks ago, latched on to my hand and Polie had to pull her off." The demonic raven shook his head, he adored children, and craved for some of his own to love and dote upon. But what was more, every time he dreamt of children, he dreamt that Jessia was his wife, and the mother of his little darlings. He noted the pink tint on her cheeks, but decided to say nothing about it. "No, I went to see Yayoi, and then I had to get Selphie to help me when Merci got her head stuck..."

"How did Merci get her head stuck? And stuck in what?" She asked, scooting a little closer to listen. What was more is she found herself looking at his mouth with the secret desire to kiss them.

Stefan chuckled, closing his eyes and shaking his head as he tried to recall the wild explination that Merci provided him with. "According to her, she was up in the rafters when Keaira scared her. Then, she fell and got her head stuck in an empty fish bowl. I have no clue if that is what really happened, seeing as Keaira didn't recall any of it, but then again... that koala bear has a short attention span, and it takes her a day or two to remember most things that aren't important to her." Stefan finally opened his eyes and looked at Jessia, blinking as he tilted his head. "Is... there something on my face?"

She chuckled and shook her head. "Poor Merci. What is with the empty fish bowl?"
She didn't think Stefan was the type to have fish...and she hadn't met everyone in the household, so she wasn't sure if they even liked fish.
At being asked about something being on his face, she grinned and nodded. "Yea there is..."

The demonic raven shook his head lightly and brushed curled bangs away from his face. His large black wings stretched out for a moment, then settled against his back once more, twitching once or twice. "I'm not quite sure... All I know is that it belongs to Keaira. I think she believes she has a fish in it, or perhaps she wants to get a fish?" The raven blinked and shook his head slightly. "Well, then I suppose I'll have to go and wash whatever it is off of my face," he chuckled out while standing up.

She reached out and grabbed his hand. "You don't have too..."
She knew if he went and looked in a mirror, he'd find nothing there on his face and seeing as her try had failed, she went with a different attempt. She came up to her knees and cupped his face, bringing him close to kiss him softly. She felt her heart slam into her chest from her unexpected movement.

The action she had taken was unexpected, and suprised the demonic raven. He never thought that she would ever initiate a kiss, or even kiss him back. He thought that the wolf had taken no such interest in him. Heat rose on his cheeks, but his hands fell gently to her waist. Stefan's eyes slowly slipped shut as he leaned into the soft kiss, only for a moment, before pulling back slightly to gaze at her. "And here I thought I'd never be so lucky as to get a kiss initiated by you," he said softly with a light chuckle riding on his voice, wondering if she could hear his heart beating, because he sure could.
