Rinko closed her eyes and let go of her tension, let go of her fight as he kissed her. She wanted to focus on that moment alone and nothing more. Her lips parted softly as she met him and she pouted inside when it was over. A sigh danced from her lungs, and her head came to rest lightly upon his chest. She really was tired, it had been a long trip and she needed a real bath. That and some food. But his jest perked her up and she wrinkled her nose, shifting her body slightly so she could gaze up at him. "Ooo, someone afraid I'm going to take over the Alpha position in our little pack, hmm?" She laughed, nipping the underside of his jaw before dancing out of his arms and taking him by the paw. "Lets get out of this water, it's freezing and I'm aching for a little warmth." Leading him to shore she shook herself free of water, sliding her paws along her fur to remove any remaining droplets but making sure every bit was as sensual and tantalizing as the last.
Glancing up at him she swung her hair over one shoulder and began to twist it, wringing out the wilderness. "What have you been doing up here anyway?" She inquired, her eyes sweeping the Woods like a foreigner on another planet completely. They were so far from civilization she could hardly remember which way was the way home, everywhere surrounding was a collection of trees, boulders, streams and mountains. She'd kill for a hot meal and a nice warm bed right about now but the temptation of Kebas was enough to distract her. Rinko released her strong grip on the length of hair and allowed it to hang in one big coil over her shoulder while she awaited a reply. Inhaling deeply she found herself struck by the clean air, the fresh wild scents of the surrounding world filled her with an unusually primal feeling of freedom. Curiously enough, she liked it.
Aullana waited until her daughter was just a smidgeon closer before reaching out and snagging her right off the ground. The female might've been quiet and slightly more docile but she knew how to handle her young. Settling the little female in her lap she handed her a piece of sugar cane to distract her, it usually took a while for anyone to gnaw all the sugar out, before setting to work on her tangled mess of hair. Straightening out the kinks and loosening the rats nests. Soon she had it as smooth and sleek as her own, it was an empty task but it made Aullana happy none-the-less. "That's true, I think that's the most exciting thing about new days. You never know what you're going to get." Glancing up at him she smiled, her eyes lingering for just a few moments as he stretched. Suddenly realizing she'd begun daydreaming, Aullana turned a bright shade of red. Quickly averting her gaze she began very intense work on a single, easily managed, strand of Chath's hair. She was hopeless.
A visit to his family? That could prove eventful. "Of course, I think it would be a great idea." Aullana chimed happily, still pink about the cheeks as she plucked stemns of lilac and ivy vine from her small pile of flora, weaving them swiftly into Chaths hair in a lovely arrangement. Braiding thin strands every now and then for accent, very natural and elven in style. Once finished she admired her handiwork, knowing it's fate as soon as the baby either finished her sugar cane or realized what exactly was in her hair. Who knew, maybe she'd be surprised and find Chath ignoring what her mother had done to her, leaving it be for a while longer than usual. She stood up, cradeling the baby in her arms while approaching the fur nest, setting her gently in the middle and giving her a loving kiss on her forehead. "Should I pack up something for us to eat along the way? You haven't even had breakfast yet." Aullana made her way behind Ventash'ma, her paws sliding over his shoulder and working out any morning kinks that may have found their way into his muscles. The pink tint to her cheeks softened and she rested her head on his shoulder blade.

Teti took his moment of preperation to rest, she made no attempts to attack him. The glow of his body where the runes pulsed unnerved her of slight, causing her chest to constrict. Magic. Her instinct warned her to mind those flames, she would be wary of his paws. His words were confusing, riddled with a history she had no time to mull over, she stayed focused in the present. Her chest heaved as she finally caught a breath, her lungs burning from the exertion of her last run. How long had it been since she'd last gotten into a serious scrap? Too damn long for this. There was always some punk willing to pick a fight with her but that was small time, this was serious. Her eyes, holding him firmly in her gaze, shifted slightly to their surroundings, taking in everything, should she find the need for a mental map later. That was when the charge came, her eyes fixed forward, taking in her options. She had three, one; be struck by his fist and likely burned, two; dodge and be impailed or three; trip over herself and risk being overtaken. She took the second but with a twist which would leave one of her strong paws a little weaker. As she stepped out of the way of his fist she arched her back and moved forward one of her strong paws. The sword impailed it through the pad and before it reached her body she gripped it tightly. Preventing it from further movement and stopping the advance. Her face was a grimace of concentration and pain as she gritted her teeth and squeezed the blade, her muscles rippled in an amazing feat of strength, ignoring feeling she pressed on. She could mend herself just fine, but she had to be careful not to lose the paw itself.
She made her next move within seconds, not ready to be pinned by his weapon and burned by the hellish flames he commanded. Having stopped the advance she jumped, using his chest to push off of him and away. But before she did so, her second strong arm swung at him, aiming for his head before her first paw slid free of the blade and she flipped backwards into the air. Hitting the ground on all fours to prevent further damage to her already injured leg. She could feel her paw pulsing as blood rushed to the wound, trying to heal it to keep her from bleeding out. She shook it, sending a shower of droplets to speckle the dusty earth below and grinning. "Do not insult me with your weaponry, fight me as a real warrior. Bare-fisted." She growled, while it was true she enjoyed a fist-fight more than any other she was also trying to get him to discard the object to keep her odds out of the red. "You have your flame, I have my strength. Let us match them." Cracking the knuckles of her uninjured strong arm she bared claws and waited. Charging while he had that weapon was still too dangerous to chance. She wasn't willing to take such a risk, not in this state.
Lithium felt her heart expand, the rush of the wind and the freedom the sky provided numbed her pain and made her ache to be everywhere at once. To feel everything at once, a feeling she wished she could show him. But it wasn't something one could explain, she merely needed to provide the right setting and pray he would be able to understand it, feel it as she did. His paw startled her, causing her heart to jump subtly in her chest. The tears unlatched themselves from her cheek, freed by the kindest of touches, she smiled down at him. A knowing, understanding and yet still guarded smile that both trusted and shielded him from herself. No time for sadness now, no time for broken hearts or unhealed wounds. Those ghosts of the past which haunt and hurt without sign or cause. Not now. It was time, if for only a moment, to forget everyone and everything that hurt them. To just be, existing her in this moment as untouched souls. Unclouded by the worlds pains and boundaries. The forest opened up to a large glittering lake, the waters were almost silver from the height and still as glass. A snaking wind from the east zipped across the sleek waters, causing a ripple to birth and grow, spreading outwards and lapping at the sandy shoreline. No-one was out now, unusually rare but it made her happy to see nature untouched for once.
She continued onward, over the lake for a view few Kats rarely were allowed and one she hoped Mercutio would enjoy. She supported him comfortably, quite strong for such a delicate and petite female. Her orb-like, luminous eyes took in everything, not daring to deny herself the view, everything was a gift and she would waste nothing. It kept her strong. She felt his kindness, his care and his love and at first it almost frightened her. She hadn't had anyone care about her in a very long time, but she chose to accept it, they were friends after-all. How chance and fate worked amazed her and always would. They had a journey ahead of them, while not terribly long they still had more to see.

Kebas gave a hearty chuckle as well as raised an eyebrow. "I doubt you could handle being an Alpha of any pack. Though I wouldn't really call this much of a pack with only the two of us...." He pat her head lightly, letting his fingers slip inbetween strangs of soft hair. A light sigh leaving his mouth as she danced away, but his paw grasped her's as she took it. As they reached the shore, he set about drying himself off. Crouching down low on all fours he gave his entire body a good shake. Water droplets flying everywhere. And in a quick motion he smoothed down all his fur which had decided to poof out in several directions.
Though he couldn't help but notice the way Rinko was drying herself off. Glancing at her several times beneath dark grey hair.
His ears perked lightly at her question. And in all actuality he really wasn't sure. Kebas just felt home in the wild. Giving a light shrug he ran his claws through the coil of hair she had created, loosening it. "I could ask the same about you. You don't seem to be the wilderness type." He ran those long claws through his own hair now. Untangling it the best he could where it was. "Well....missing you for one. Waiting until I caught your scent again. Perhaps finding myself. Who knows?"
The kit squealed as her mother snatched her up. But quickly settled down as she was handed the sugar cane. Going to town on it. Gnawing and making little slurping sounds. It was a rare treat for her and she was going to take full advantage of it!
She hadn't payed much mind to what her mother was doing with her hair. Like any young child she loved to have her head touched. It just made her relax. Though it was hard to fight to keep her attention between the two things at hand.
When she was placed among the fur, Chath rocked back and forth slightly on her bottom. Still going to town with her sugary treat. Now her full attention was on it, so for now her hair would be fine. At least till she was done anyway.
Ventash'ma still found it humerous though that Aullana blushed around him. It was not like she had anything to be emberassed about, but he just figured it was how she was.
His ears twitched as his mate rubbed his shoulders. Back massages were a nice thing in the morning, or afternoon in this case. And Aullana always knew where to do it. The male was always tense though. It was just a natural thing for him and really couldn't understand why. So on occasion his back and shoulders would protest, but he had learned to deal with it.
Glancing at Chatch for a moment with curiosity. She never seemed to stop amazing him with her antics. He examined the hairstling that Aullana had done. It was quite cute. Turning his head to regard his mate over his shoulder he smiled. "If you'd like to. I'm sure Chath would enjoy a packed lunch as much as I would. Theres a little place we can stop and have lunch on the way." Reaching his arm over his shoulder, he ran his fingers along the side of her face gently with the back of his paw. "It can be our little adventure for the day."

Rinko smiled, watching as he shook himself dry and the way his pelt floofed up in response. Hmm, he was so cute. At his approach her smile lingered, gaining a kind of smoldering charm. She closed her eyes, listening to his voice and relishing the feel of his claws through her hair. His response caught her attention and she opened her eyes, searching him with a slight tilt of the head. "You missed me." It felt good to be missed, it made her feel less silly for feeling as intense about him now. "Well, you know, I just had an urge to play wild animal and run off into the woods. And if I happened to find another wild animal, well, that would make it all worth while in the end." Smirking now, her eyes glinting mischieviously as she nearly closed the distance between them, leaving maybe an inch or two of space. "Why don't you show me how the wild things live."
She'd been couped up for far too long in that nest full of Meanki's, living the life of a spoiled child and being indulged beyond anyones wildest imaginings. She'd never stop being a part of that life, it was engraved in her very soul, but looking as she was and living life to the degree she did, there was also a fluttering of wild animal in her. Kebas just seemed to bring it out more than others. Maybe it was the scent of him, the echo of a freedom she'd only dreamed of. She wanted a taste of that life if only for a while, if not, forever. Who knew what fate brought two lovers from two worlds. She had a hunch and it brought a devious smile to her lovely lips.
Aullana closed her eyes, relishing the feel of Ventash'ma's touch and losing herself in the moment. Her paws went slack then picked back up, smoothing his fur as she gave his shoulder a soft, gentle kiss. "Good, I'll get started, it shouldn't take me very long." Slipping away she smiled, humming a sweet lilting tune and finding one of the baskets her mother had left her. Aullana had learned to store and keep food differently living out here, she didn't mind the challenge and had learned to love cooking in all actuality. Before, when she was younger, had been a much different story. The smell of cooked meat and spices drifted from the corner where she worked, along with fruits and vegetables. A few chops, slices and peels later she was tucking everything away into the basket, trying to hurry before Chath was finished with her treat and found the meat she'd stored. The little imp was adorable, but clever as a fox if you forgot that you were definitely in trouble.
Setting the basket up high and covering it's wrapped contents in a blanket she checked the weather outside, bright and sunny. Perfect for a trip outdoors. "It's the perfect day for an adventure. Chath might even be able to get a B-a-t-h if we can find somewhere along the way." She whispered, glancing the happy, sugar cane munching baby amongst the tangle of furs. "But we'll see about that one won't we." She laughed, her smile bright and warm.

"Well...of course I missed you." It was true. For some odd reason, or perhaps not so odd of a reason, Kebas did miss her. "There's only so long one can go without the company of a sexy little vixen like yourself without a feeling of longing." It wasn't just her body that attracted the male to her. Her personality also played a factor into it. She was wild and full of spirit, even if perhaps on the outside she looked more like something to be placed upon a pedistal and admired.
Placing his paws on the small of her back, Kebas tilted his head just slightly. "How the wild things live? I'm not sure if you'd have the stomach for it, powder puff." Moving his left paw, he rubbed at his chin lightly. "But if its what you want then I suppose I will just have to oblige. But...you can't whine or pout if it gets a little rough." A devious smirk curled the corners of his mouth. Living out in the wild was not easy for one who was not used to it. For him, it was natural. He'd lived in the wildness all his life so of course it was easy.
Ventash'ma nodded lightly. The soft kiss to his shoulder made his toes tingle oddly enough. Giving a few more stretches he soon got to his feet, stretching even more. His tail flicking back and forth as he looked about the cave then down at Chath who was still amongst all the furs for the moment.
The smell of food made his stomach grumble lightly, but he payed it no mind. He could still go a while longer without anything to eat. When Aullana mentioned giving Chath a bath, a smirk appeared on his lips. "Good luck with that. More than likely it'd be you getting one."
Chath watched intently as her mother went about preparing the food to go into the basket. Wiggling her feet around before rolling onto her stomach and lifting herself off the ground, she casually shuffled her feet as she moved towards the basket which was now up high and out of her reach. Eyes staring with curiosity at what goodies were inside.
The kit couldn't spell all too well just yet so she wasn't quite sure what her parents were talking about. But she had a little feeling it wouldn't end very well. Glancing at them both for a second, she let the little bit of candy cane hang out of the corner of her mouth as a puzzled look washed over her face. But she shrugged heavily and glanced back up at the basket.
Whatever was in there smelt really good!

A laugh escaped her soft lips, rich and sensual. It felt good to be missed indeed. "Longing hmm? Sounds painful. I'm sure, speaking as a vixen, we can fix that in time." Waggling her eyebrows in a single, fluid motion she gave him a wink before smiling. Her sharp, little canines adding a touch of mischief to her lovely face. But suddenly she gave an indignant sniff and turned her back on him. "Powderpuff, eh? Do you really have it so rough out here? I can take a little rough housing, you should know that by now." She wouldn't let him see her grin and did an excellent job of swallowing her humor so as to appear insulted by his jest. "We Meanki have claws for a reason." She gave them a once over as she spoke.
"So long as we spend a little time out here I should adjust fine. Unless you intend on throwing me directly to the wolves." Glancing him over her shoulder she leaned back into his chest so she could look up at him instead. "Or was that your plan all along?" Licking her lips she gazed upwards with her exoticly hued earthen eyes and smirked. "Does it look like I'd be afraid of the big, bad wolf." Sure, she'd have a tough time living in the wild. But she'd never admit that to him and she certainly wouldn't give up until she could do so successfully. Rinko was just that determined, once she set her mind on something, that was it. She'd always been a little rougher than her Meanki relatives, hopefully that would prove useful now.
Aullana laughed, nodding in agreement. "That's why you're going to help me do it." She placed her paws on his chest, gazing up at him with her bright, liquid gold eyes, pulling out the most man-weakening face she could muster. "Hmmm?" Aullana stood no chance against Chath by herself, she was cunning, but the baby somehow always managed to outwit her when it came to bathtime. Aullana figured it came from her fathers side. Aullana's family was mostly artistic or herbologically inclined. They weren't as clever minded or instinctually aware as was Ventash'ma. That was one of the reasons she admired him and Chath had inherrited that trait, thank Chaos.
Aullana's ears perked and she glanced the baby, Chath had definitely noticed the basket and honed in, she was glad she'd decided to set it up and out of the way. The one shelf the baby hadn't figured out how to reach yet. The only place to keep things safe. Smiling she turned back to her mate. "C'mon love, what's the worst that could happen? We might all get a bath." Aullana didn't really need a bath and she would prefer to keep dry for now, but the baby needed one eventually, she supposed it would be settled if and when they actually passed a hot springs on their way to Ventash'ma's family.

"You have no idea." He caught her wink. A sly smile creeping onto his lips as he, himself raised an eyebrow curiously. Wondering just how that would be fixed. Rinko always seemed to have a habit of running off for quite a while. Though he was not so ritiouse about sticking around in one spot either. "Yea, you can. Just a little though. It is pretty hard living out here when I'm sure you've been pretty pampered all your life. Have you ever had to hunt for your own food and then cook it yourself? Lived in a cave, sleeping on a hard floor with only furs of dead animals for any comfort? I'm sure a nice, big soft pillow would be nice right about now. s**t, maybe I should dress up like a Meanki and go live the pampered life." Kebas laughed. A deep rumbling in his chest.
The life of a Meanki, or from what he had heard through oral reitteration did seem to be pretty fancy indeed. But it was not for him. "Nah, not at first anyway. I don't think you could handle the wolves. Unless you want me to throw you to them right away to prove a point? I'm sure they'd like a nice little Meanki to have around." His smirk grew, curling the corner of his mouth upwards as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "You haven't seen the big, bad wolf yet...."
Ventash'ma scratched at the back of his head. He wasn't really all that keen about himself getting a bath either. But when she did that face, god he hated that face sometimes, he just couldn't say no. It would only get worse. "Fine, fine. I'll help you..." Sometimes he wondered if maybe they should just let Chath run around and be dirty. Eventually in time she'd want to take a bath, right?
His ears flicked back and forth as he gave her question a careful thought. "That would seem to be the worst that could happen." He certainly didn't need a bath, or at least HE thought so. But he knew what came with bath time for Chath. So yes, they all would probably end up getting one weither they wanted one or not.
She had noticed her mother's slight glance at her, but really payed it no mind. Placing her paws up against the cold stone of the cave wall, she tried to reach upwards with a little paw. Giving the air a few good swats. The basket was just too tempting not to investigate. The little piece of candy cane she had left sticking out of the corner of her mouth.

Pretty hard huh? Well, she'd give it a go. Of course, being a Meanki, she was arrogant and wouldn't back down. Being told she couldn't, simply made her want to try it even more. "We'll see tough guy, we'll see." His paws on her hips made her turn abruptly, not daring to break contact. A slow smirk teasing her lips deliciously as she tilted her head to one side and gazed up into his handsome face. "Why don't we take a look at your cave and I'll decide for myself, hmm? Who knows, a couple throw pillows, some silk and it could be liveable." A soft chuckle lilted along the breeze as she laughed, giving him a note-worthy, playful pinch. At his mention of trying life in the Meanki world her eyes widened and she found herself in stitches. "Oh.. sweet Tegan Kebas, don't even think it. I don't want to picture you in a dress trying to lure men into the house." She shuddered but couldn't stop laughing, gritting against a pang of discomfort over a side-stitch.
Wiping away a tear of mirth from the corner of one eye she glanced up at him, her composure finally regained. "Ahh, is that so? Are there other hunky wolf men out here I should know about?" Raising a brow she cocked her head and ran a claw up his chest and along his neck, resting her paw over his shoulder and slipping her other paw around his waist. "Careful, they might just decide they like me and want to keep me a while for more than just good conversation and eye candy." His next words sent a shiver through her, like electricity. She stretched, nuzzling the crook of his neck tenderly before relaxing back to her former position. Not saying another word, she didn't have to, her sultry smirk said it all.
Aullana laughed, clapping her paws lightly. Victory! "Thank you so much." She lifted up on her toes and kissed him softly, lovingly. Ah, she loved him so much. Sometimes she wondered how she got so lucky. "Maybe we can dangle her out on a stick and dip her in?" Her laugh was beautiful, of course she'd never do something like that. Actually, Chath might get a kick out of it, but still, she wouldn't have the heart to dangle her offspring like a worm on a fishing line. Maybe, if they were lucky, they'd manage to stay dry. Maybe. It was a long shot but possible with the right finesse.
Slipping away from her mate she snatched up the baby, who was currently dedicated to the basket and it's mysterious contents, off the floor and lifted the basket, in her other paw of course, from it's resting place. Skipping over an odd assortment of furs she'd been meaning to air out, she handed Chath to her father. "Shall we be on our way? Might as well head out before it gets too late." A trip at night would be lovely for stargazing, but there were more dangers to traveling at night through the woods. Not that Ventash'ma couldn't handle it, it was more a matter of not pushing one's luck. And with the baby she wasn't willing to take such a risk. They could stargaze at their destination if they felt so inclined.

Throw pillows? Silk? What was she now an interior decorator? Kebas quite liked the way his cave was now. It suited him just perfectly. Now he was starting to wonder what he'd gotten himself into. "Ehhhyeeeaaa...we'll talk about 're-decorating' later if you can handle it."
Well s**t. He supposed a bachelor pad could only stay a bachelor pad for so long.
As she started to giggle wildly, he raised an eyebrow then his nose. "What? You don't think I'd look pretty in pink? We could stay up all night doing each other's hair and nails. I've always wondered what it would be like to get a home perm."
The tip of his tail flicked back and forth as he kept his paws on her hips even though she had shifted her own position. "Yea, there are. But they all have mates so I have nothing to worry about." He wasn't going to lie to Rinko. Kebas did have his own DNA running around Faetasia, but that would take a bit of explaining on his part. His eyes narrowed slightly as she nuzzled his neck, wrapping his arms around her and watching her little smirk. After a moment of brief silence Kebas picked her up and slung her over his shoulder. "Well, lets get this party started eh?"
He smiled as she gave him another kiss. For a moment forgetting where he was until Chath was plopped into his arms. Ventash'ma perked his ears for a second before heading towards the mouth of the cave and out into the sunlight. "Yea, don't want to arrive when people are going to sleep for sure." Lifting Chath upwards, he placed the kit behind his head giving her a second to get a grasp on his ears. Chath was ok to carry short distances, but they'd be going a bit furthur away from home today. And after time kits get pretty heavy and wryly.
She squealed as she was snatched up and handed off to her father. Swipeing a paw at the basket before settling onto Ventash'ma's shoulders. Though her gaze was still locked onto the basket that her mother carried. Soon, soon Aullana would forget about it for a moment and in that moment Chath would pounce.
The basket's contents would be hers! For now, she'd play it safe. Grabbing onto her father's ears, she wiggled back and forth. "Weeeee!"

[- Cynic -] While he continued to laugh, Cynic inspected the Fae who appeared to be trying to pick on him. Sure, he was rolling on the ground in a fit of laughter, but did he really look like he was having a seizure? Although he had learned well to laugh at others, he had yet to learn the subtle art of laughing at ones self. He stopped laughing and seated himself firmly in the grass, looking up at Lithium. "Hey now, don't you start picking on me! That's my job," he said, poking himself in the chest with his thumb. "Name's Cynic. Prankster. What about you? Some sort of... floating hairball?" He smiled at his own cunning remark, watching Lithium carefully while keeping an eye on Cyrano, too.

She wrinkled her nose and lay back her ears. "If you wear pink I'll kick your a**." She sniffed, narrowing her eyes just enough to look menacing, but her smile betrayed her and she laughed. "Baby, if you want I'll do your nails for you later tonight. I'm sure we can find a good 'primp and prissy' store around here somewhere." She rolled her eyes, chuckling softly and feeling her tail brush the ground below, sweeping away a leaf as it swayed back and forth enticingly. Rinko wasn't used to being in, well, whatever they were in. Was it a relationship? Nothing official been announced but she liked it better that way, it felt more meaningful than 'Lets be boyfriend/girlfriend, hooray!' Yuck.
But right in the middle of her thought she was hoisted up, her footpaws leaving the earth and her eyes widening in surprise. "What th-" She began but fell silent with the oomph of being plopped onto a shoulder. "You beast!" She exclaimed, drumming her fists playfully on his back lightly then falling limp. "Is this any way to treat a lady?" Her question sounded serious enough but held no merit. "All right, carry on." Of course it wouldn't matter if she was serious or not, she doubted she could scramble away if she wanted to. Puffing a strand of hair from her eyes she rolled her head, popping her neck. "So, where do you live anyway?" She'd never spoken with Kebas about personal things, neither of them had actually spoken of anything really deeply personal since they'd met. How long ago was that anyway? She'd lost track.
With a nod of agreement she followed him out of the cave, pausing for a moment to give it one last look before turning on her heel and catching up. Ventash'ma and Chath were already a short ways ahead of her. The basket swayed on her arm as she walked, her hips swaying naturally as she walked beside her mate and glanced skyward. The heavens were such a brilliant blue it nearly took her breath away, the only clouds were far in the distance and moving away from them, small white flecks against a sea of bright cerulean. "What a beautiful day." She sighed, her ears perking to catch the chorus coming from the forest, small birds were out as well, not wishing to waste such a good day for bug hunting and nest building. The forest looked cool and welcoming, large trees spiraled upwards, mossy trunks rooted firmly to earth and housing a variety of animal life.
She smartly held the basket on her other arm, the one furthest from her child, just in case. She may sometimes seem a little daydreamy, but Aullana was keener then she let on in most regards. Of course, she did have her naive moments. They did have quite a journey on their paws, she'd probably switch off with Ventash'ma for Chath carrying duty after a ways. She was a bit energetic at times and that made stamina drain faster. She could even scamper along once they made it to the clearing. For now there were too many bushes and escape routes she could find and use to start her own little adventures. The thought made Aullana shiver, no way jose. "You know, I wonder how long it's been since we last visited your family. Or mine for that ma-" She paused, remembering it was only she and her mother now, her eyes slid to the side, sentance unfinished. She hadn't realized how much it bothered her until now, in truth, she hadn't really dealt with it either. She'd only recently found out that her mother and father were no longer mates or that her father and brother had gone missing as well. The wound their leaving had created was still sore.

Imp looked taken aback, her eyes widened and she sat back on her haunches. "Weeeell now, we have a comedian in the house. Bravo young man." She clapped him on the back warmly and smiled, laughing as he tried to poke fun at her. "Name's Imp, Trouble Maker, and that skinny waif's Cyrano, professional pansy-er Angelic." She beamed, casting Cyrano a silly look and pulling a tounge at him as he yelled 'AM NOT' from across the distance. The freak stood, her tail swishing happily as she cocked her head and looked down at the unsual male. She'd never seen another like him, different.
Cyrano was busy stumbling over himself as he tried to get up, chasing after the Freak as fast as his legs would carry him. Once he'd caught up he bent over, gasping for breath. Sweet Chaos she moved quickly, too quickly for him anyway. "I.. am... not a p-pansy!" Licking his dry lips he stood upright and eyed the male curiously. "Jeez, Imp, you can't even introduce yourself properly. I'm Cyrano and this is Imp, we're please to meet you, Cynic, was it?" He extended a hand, always proper and polite, a soft smile on his features.
Imp rolled her eyes, when Cyrano introduced them she made a gagging motion and socked him in the arm. "Cut it out, you're so weird. Anywho, what are you doing all by your lonesome, laughing at strange, possibly homicidal Kats?" She slapped a paw over Cyrano's mouth when he tried to protest, obviously not catching onto her sarcasm. Goshdang he was so stuffy sometimes.

Crimson Jazz [- Cynic -] While he continued to laugh, Cynic inspected the Fae who appeared to be trying to pick on him. Sure, he was rolling on the ground in a fit of laughter, but did he really look like he was having a seizure? Although he had learned well to laugh at others, he had yet to learn the subtle art of laughing at ones self. He stopped laughing and seated himself firmly in the grass, looking up at Lithium. "Hey now, don't you start picking on me! That's my job," he said, poking himself in the chest with his thumb. "Name's Cynic. Prankster. What about you? Some sort of...crossbreed between a... I don't even know? How many parents did you have? Four or five? Cynic laughed at his own joke, smiling up at Imp with a crooked grin. [- Cynic -] ((Oh WOW! How stupid I am... Mili was telling me about Lithium RP when I was responding. XD Good thing you caught it. >____>; The above quote is edited for Imp. XD)) Cynic would have been more than happy to catch Cyrano's hand but Imp pulled it away first. How was he to fool these if this Imp character was going to ruin it all? "If you must know, Imp, I was just wandering around. You two were just too good to pass up. That Cyrano kid was really howling! What about you two...?"

{-It's totally fine Crimson. XD I figured that's what had happened so I just kept on truckin'. It has been a while since we RPed them, it's not hard to forget sometimes. No harm done. >_> Yeees, it was all Mili! XD-}
Cyrano was making muffled sounds through the paw covering his mouth, his eyes sliding to Imp and narrowing in a pouty frown. How come she always had to pick on him? Well, it was usually all in good fun and he had been born on April Fools, he might as well get a feel for pranking. But it was hard, it went against much of what he'd been taught. His job was to become an Angelique someday, for now it was to serve the Deities in any way he could. Ahh, what a life.
Imp's eyes stayed locked on the male below them, watching him carefully. She knew trouble when she saw it, not that she didn't like trouble, her mother was a Gremlin for Chaos's sake. "We are pretty tempting prey, especially with all the pig-squealing that just went on back there, which you apparently heard." She released her hold on Cyrano and shook her paws out, as if trying to remove any trace of the Angelic from her paws. "If you'd have seen the size of that sucker, you would have been squealing too." She raised a brow in regards to his question, stretching her arms as she spoke. "Well, we were on our way to the pub when my blind friend here stepped in a patch of nasty thorns. Thus, our little detour. Then we spotted you having some kind of fit over here and decided to haul on over and see if you were good eatin' or not." She waggled her eyebrows in good humor.
Cyrano shook his head, his paw extended to help up the other Kat. "We'd be honored if you'd join us, friend." He smiled, totally oblivious. "A nice afternoon drink will certainly help us all get better aqquainted." Cyrano was the kind of Kat who loved life with a passion, he relished being able to sit and listen to others tell tales, no matter what those tales were about or if they made sense. Seeing the rich variety in life was his sinful treat he supposed, of course it wasn't a negative thing and broadened his outlook on life and those who lived in the mortal realm.
