Welcome to Gaia! ::

Elliot nodded at Leo as the newborn was handed over. "You can trust Uncle Lewis. I promise." He murmured, taking Leo's hand and stroking the back of it with his thumb before kissing it. "Letting Lewis watch of them is you caring for them. "You're tired. You've been having episodes of exhaustion, my dear. You've had them since Falia, since just after the wedding. Let us also mention the air is much thinner up here than down there. Your body needs to readjust to the climate, the dryness." he kissed his head. "You can take care of them just fine. You're doing it right now." and kisses his lips. "Go lie in bed. Relax. Get some rest."

"I don't think Ipo has many fans. I dislike him and I'm jealous of him and wish I was like him yet I'd wish he'd die sometimes. But I'm a fan. I'm his fan." His brother shifted again, his breathing growing ragged as the sweat started breaking out.

"It hurts."

"It'll pass." the twin whispered. "It's leaving your body. You need to try and sleep."

"Hurting to much to sleep." and tears beaded at the corner of the closed eyes.

"Focus on something else."

"Can't."

"Tsume's p***s is smaller than ours."

Ipo gave a hoarse laugh before moaning in pain again, but the corners of his mouth were curled up and Kashi knew he was still laughing.

"But I'm lying." The hare mouthed to Kashi. "I wouldn't know." he'd made sure to never peek at the wolf.

Justin left leaving the chef and new assistant chef and he worked in silence, fingers moving quickly in preparing each small wrap, setting them beside Oliver's before they filled it up, pulling out another large platter and filling that up as well. "This looks about enough. You can eat the one in your hand. I," and took one from the plate before eating it. "Think you can carry both of these or do you need me to help you?"

"I would have no stress or feelings towards anyone else." he murmured, changing into night clothes before sliding beside Leo. "THat has a lovely ring. My husband. You're my husband." and let a purr vibrate in his chest.

Kashi could feel himself getting tired, shifting against the wolf before sitting up completely to stay awake. Ipo was still awake too but barely, just enough to whimper as the pain came though.

Then all of a sudden he jolted up and moved to the side of the bed, grabbing a bucket and heaving into it.

Kashi was quick to grab his hair and rub his back. "Get it out. It's okay just get it out." This was going to be a long night. "Maybe I should take his place. I know my body isn't as healthy as his."

Saegthin chuckled, cleaning up the small mess before blowing out the candles. "I'll show you the way. Come along. I hear they live on the main floor now." and began walking through side hallways meant for the staff before finding their door and knocking on it.

Saegthin had urged Oliver in, Elliot welcoming them as well and looking at the fruit wraps, pointing them out to Leo before grinning.

Saegthin waited by the door while the two praised the little Retian before taking Oliver back and showing him to his room.

Kashi only nodded at Tsume but said nothing, sitting through the night and it was only when the first rays of sunshine were streaming through the window did Ipo finally fall asleep after a night of vomitting, sweating and crying. Kashi himself had morphed into a hare, nuzzling his brother before dozing for maybe an hour, waiting until Tsume's heartbeat slowed down as well before gently getting off the bed and shifting back. He shouldn't be doing this. Tsume had a point. he shouldn't but he was going to. Ipo wasn't the seer he was.

Only when the sun was brightly blaring through their windows did Elliot bother to awaken, looking over at Leo curiously before leaning forward and gently touching their lips. "Good morning." he whispered with a smile.

Elliot's ears twitched before moving to rest himself on his arms, looking as Leo slowly walked toward the door. "We'll go see the babies." And stood as well, grabbing two robes and covering Leo with one of them, putting the other on himself. "Come on, let's go see our babies."

Foggy eyes slid over to the door, holding a different pipe than the one Ipo used. His own was black with gold trim, Guinevere had expected them. He took a long drag, smiling and exhaling slowly. Guinevere had forced the drugs into Ipo all at once, Kashi knew how to see the future in a much painless way. "I will be dead by tonight, Tsume." He sighed, though you could hear the smile in his voice, looking at the picture on the opposite wall like it was the cutest thing.

Ipo flinched feeling Tsume lift him. "Where is my brother?" he asked weakly, exhausted. But he heard Kashi's voice and turned his head, ears as limp as wet bread. "Brother? Brother why are you in there?"

"I am changing the future." he exhaled, another stream of smoke being released.

"The future cannot be changed once shared. Trying to avoid it caused it to happen!" and began to cough, throat dry, the man in need of water.

Kashi's smile only grew, taking a square piece of paper and breaking off a piece, looking at the vivid color before placing it on his tongue, taking a deep breath in before closing his mouth and exhaling. "Perhaps."

Alvaro had a pillow over his head, deciding it was much too early to deal with screaming grandchildren. His own children still screamed at him.

"You're caring." Elliot said, looking at his father to Lewis, carefully taking one babe from Leo. "Good morning, Yuki." It took him a moment before looking at the little brown dots on his face. "I know I'm not Momma but I can try to be."

"Don't grow out your hair your mother will writhe in her grave." came the king's muffled voice.

The pipe fell from his lips and clattered to the ground, glazed eyes widening before glaring at Tsume with a look of absolute hate.

"Tsume!" Ipo exclaimed before coughing again, wanting to grab the nearby pitcher of water but knew full well it was equally drugged. "Tsume leave my Brother alone! Kashi you cannot change the future it is absolute!"

"This close to the event, you're right." he growled, rubbing his red cheek and picking up his pipe, the ashes falling out before he took a few more leaved and crumpled them up, shoving them in the bowl before finding his matches among the bed sheets. "YOu never have a fighting chance against the President unless you can compete on her level." and found the small matchbox, lighting it and pressing it into the bowl, inhaling deeply and slowly, waving the match and tossing it onto the now clean floor. The single eye looked up at Tsume, hare smiling before exhaling the smoke in his direction. "If only I were lucky enough to not die a virgin."

"Tsume we shouldn't get mad at him, this is the president's fault." Ipo said. "She's practically trained him to do this. Go yell at her he won't stop until he passed out or vomits or cries!" Ipo had seen it happen to many times to Kashi back in those days on Kasp, in a large room, separated by floor to cieling wooden bars and the male sobbing and heaving up what little contents his stomach held. "Let us go blame the president."

"That would be a good idea." Elliot agreed, smiling down at the babe with such joy that the length of his grin might split his face in half. "I'm sure the chef is already up and preparing breakfast for us." and walked back down the stairs from his father's room to go to the kitchen. "How do you feel, Leo? I figure afters peaking with the president we may go walk around in the winter air, if you're up for it."

Ipo gave something torn between a squeal and a scream of horror, watching as Tsume kissed his brother before deciding to flee the scene, nearly tripping over his own bed sheet and running again. Bad news bad news bad news. Oh god what was happening the world was about to turn upside down!

The drugged one surprisngly had no problem with it, kissing back and forcing the other's mouth open to taste. But Tsume pulled away and Kashi smiled, bringing the bit of the kiseru pipe back into his mouth and inhaling. He glanced at the wall, exhaling slowly. "That's not me. When he first predicted it perhaps it was but the future has changed too dramatically for that to be me. No, Ipo predicted his own death. When he first saw it changed, you were here for it, he knew it was his own, but he convinced himself it was mine instead. Poor fool. That looks like an awful way to die. Trust me, Tsume. This body of mine is not dying anytime soon." The light was growing brighter, his pupils must be widening, making him start to squint. "Ipo will die before lunch, though. You shouldn't have kissed me." and moved his pipe, motioning where his clone once stood.

Saegthin looked up from his cooking in the kitchen, brunch sizzling and fresh fruit being chopped up, decorating the platter. "Why hello! Yes I noticed you were skinny but you have some fat on you now." And pat Leo's cheek, looking at the babies. "Oh you have twin! Rin and Yuki! Hello dears. Speaking of the babies some red-haired guy with a horn delivered these." and touched the two large pots filled with milk from Falia. "Said these were for the babies. I tried to ask about what it was like being a unicorn but he gave me a rude finger and left."

Elliot couldn'te ven try to hide it, laughing. Saegthin and called Hasta a unicorn?! Out of all things that pint-sized shadow demon was called a unicorn! he couldn't take it!

Justin stared from his spot in the room. He'd never heard Elliot laugh, and he was partially worried the prince would drop the baby despite Elliot having a good grip.

"You. Didn't. Ask." the seer responded with a smile, taking another long drag and exhaling. "You guys don't like him anyway I don't see why it's so bad. But fine. I won't talk bad about him anymore. Especially once he dies. Nothing but compliments after that." and moved to take another drag but his pipe was snatched and thrown. "Hey--!" and then he was picked up, nearly losing his bed sheet but grabbed it in time. Even on drugs he worried about modesty. "Aw, I'm cute when drunk? You know I was partially hoping you'd take advantage of me drunk. Shame I'm such a lightweight." and sighed, laying limp in the wolf's arms, black ears perked as he listened for his brother, face holding a bored expression. "The room is starting to melt." he commented, watching the paint drip off the walls, picture frames melting.

Oh the joys of a drug not yet discovered by the rest of the world.

But Ipo was in the back of the house, looking at Kashi's luggage still standing there, not yet delivered. He was thankful he was a twin, the magic keeping it closed thinking he was Kashi and opened for him. Clothes flew beside him, finding the gun and staring at it in fear. He knew how Kashi was going to die. He knew he knew he knew. He was going to stop it ahead of time. Prevent that future from happening. Adjusting and tightening the bedsheets he held the gun and ran out, working his way to the right side of main floor where the offices were.

Guinevere had been spending her time there.
