Apparently most turns of speech were lost on the tiny thing. Hunh. Oh well. He wouldn't bother to explain something so amorphous and bizarre as language.
"Aww, our little baby's growing up!" Cody mock-simpered at Alex, "He wants to be all independent - does that mean he's paying for rent?"
"Shoo," Alex said in a laughing breath, pushing at Kingsley's leg half-heartedly. It was good for Kingsley to come down from his peaks of doom and gloom, absolutely healthy for him to be playing instead of brooding, as he'd been so inclined to do of late. So he wouldn't try too hard to stop him.
"Yeah right," a roll of the eyes and arms akimbo, still somehow holding the blacks and not-so-cleverly concealed frill, "You don't get to get rid of me 'til we've had a nice, long chat."
Not too hard >>

A snort answered the mock, and the jeans where bundled up into a small ball and thrown with deadly precision at the unicorn. “Eat denim!”
With that yell, he rolled off the bed and under it just waiting for the unicorn to stand up or that long tail to flick over the edge. His tails twitched behind him in long slow luxurious movements waiting. Maybe a minute, the fox’s attention span was rather short.

"Oi!" muffled by jeans, the cry was met with laughter from Alex. Cody balled the offending pants and glanced about sneakily for his attacker, "He's bloody escaped!" he whined at the bird. "Find him. Do it now." Whine, whine, whine.
Alex shook his head once, emphatically, patting the comforter meaningfully, "Nuh uh - bed monster," he corrected. "You'll have to lure him out."
"With what?" Cody continued to whine, standing, "Knitting lessons?"

Little teeth pressed into his lips as he try to keep from laughing. The red orbs had no problem dancing in glee the gold more pronounced. He set his fingers ready and tensed.
One furred leg and then two, the tail and whoosh. Skittles exploded from the bed tacking Cody legs and took a teasing snap at the long tail.

Though Cody preferred to consider his yelps of surprise more akin to battle cries, they failed to convince. One such yelp - which turned into more of a 'grrr' when he'd made contact with the floor and realized what he'd fallen for - escaped the 'unicorn's' mouth and he lashed his tail away from the small, pointy canines.
"Fortinbras!" he roared, attempting to roll over and launch himself at Skittles - but really only succeeding at the rolling bit.
Oh dear. Well... Kingsley wasn't much of a fighter - ...he took that back. It'd always been a struggle to get the last slice of pizza, though admittedly he'd attained that more often than not by waiting for Kingsley, Oliver and Del to start tussling before sneaking by to snitch it.
As long as Skittles kept with the legs, he ought to be fine. Those hooves didn't look pleasant - though... he trusted Kingsley not to actually try and hurt the fox.

A laugh sounded at the yelps and small white teeth flashed a grin as he scurried onto Cody's back and sat on him. "Fortinbras?" Skittles muse, tails wagging from his seat. The little thing leaned in close and questioned in one of the ears. "What's Fortinbras?"

Hey, wait - he knew how to get out of this one. Garrote the attacker with your comforter!--only... Skittles was no Marks, and the blanket was still on the bed. Not to mention that the precedented attempt hadn't actually worked. Grrr....
"Short for 'we will all be dead in two scenes'," he lied - kind of.

The small ears flickered and he gave the ear a small gentle n** with his teeth-a small stinging sensation not enough to bleed- and slipped off Cody's back to curl up on the bed, watching the unicorn closely for retailation. "You fight like your brother."

"Ow," Cody mumbled, slowly followed by the turning of gears and a glare. "...What?"
Alex politely averted his gaze and put a hand to his forehead. So much for going easy and forgetting to be so worried all the time. This wasn't going to get any prettier.
Sitting up cross-legged on the floor, Cody looked hard and narrow at the curled up fox. "That's right... Pippin. How is the little tight-a**?"
Swearing was good. It meant he was over the run-out-and-do-something-stupid phase. Or that he hadn't reached it yet. Oh dear.

"A tight a**." Skittles rested his head on the comforter. "He's cranky but looks well." The other had been eating and was well dressed at least so something good must be going for the angel. "Your ear tasted weird"

"That's a pity," Cody muttered - then, "So does your mom."
"Kingsley," warning tone.
"Hey," the 'unicorn' turned an admonishing gaze to Alex, one he barely used except in play, though now it clearly carried no connotations of humor, "You're the one who failed to mention it earlier, kiddie." Pause, "Where is he?"

"I don't have a mom," Skittles whispered; his ears falling. He scurried over to Alex and cuddled against him remaining silent. Vain wasn't close by to be a source of comfort so Alex was elected.

Was it something he'd said?
Surprised by the sudden seeking of comfort, Alex felt obliged to comply - it wasn't a burden, surely, just... unexpected. And he'd never really been one for physical contact, though admittedly... right now... for many reasons, he wished Oliver hadn't gone though he knew they'd had to do it. Because he couldn't beg a hug from Kingsley, not without worrying him - and there just wasn't... anyone else. Not really.
Thus he adapted to the new warmth, lightly placing an arm about the fox that he might nestle closer, if he chose. And, the matter at hand... "Why?"
"Why do you think?" Cody quirked a brow in a way not entirely unlike Marks, "I wanna have a chat with him too."
Not that he could go yet - wouldn't be healthy to betray babysitting duties this early in his tenuous relationship to Vain.

Skittles nestled closer at the invitation as the arm wrapped around him, eyes closing as he soaked up the warmth of physical contact. His ears flickered showing he was still listening as he cuddled with Alex.
The subject had turned to his least favorite person. Lovely, he still wanted a feather from those wings they where pretty. Alex had pretty feathers to but Alex needed them and pulling feathers from friends was rude.

Alex made a face and adjusted his arm to be more hugging Skittles than supporting him. "No," he told Kingsley shortly, "Neither of you are in the mood to talk."
"Who said anything about talking?" Cody blinked with blinding mock innocence, "Oh, right - me. Sorry, was being poetical when I said 'chat'." He knew the explanation wouldn't assuage Alex in any way, and wasn't going to do anything for convincing his friend to reveal his brother's location...
But so much the better, common sense piped up. He could deal with the little psycho later. For now he had things to take care of in the caring rather than killing sense.
Still. Couldn't let the details drop. And since Alex wasn't keen on sharing... "Hey, Skittles," he nodded towards the small fox, "How'd you get the pleasure of an audience with the evil cretin of the hour?"
