Tsume smiled a little, "People age slower in Falia. Leo's mother looks no older than twenty and she is over a hundred years old. that is the average age to stop, twenty i mean. it's something in the water, or the land, they just preserve life." he shrugged a little as he settled on the bed next to Kashi. Oliver smiled, but kept his eyes down as a tiny blush crossed his cheeks. "I'm glad you are alright, Mr. Kashi." he bowed and quickly ran from the room, hurrying back to the kitchen and his duties. Tsume watched him go and sighed softly, "That is Oliver. he's new here, we saved him from Reta where he was being abused. he's still skittish and way too skinny, but Chef is working on fattening him up. the skittishness will fade in time, just like yours." Leo shook his head, "No, miss. thank you for the bottles." he accepted one and started to feed Rin, "how did it go, Elliot? i'm sure Chef was happy to hear he was ok." he smiled a little at the purring, Elliot was cute when he was with his babies.

  "So if you're out of Falia, will you age faster now? Or are people not born in Falia just age faster. Do you age slower if you live in Falia for a long time or do you age normally?" and blushed again, ears lowered. "Sorry, that's too many questions." Friend or not he had to be polite and respectful. Hearing Oliver though he smiled back. "Thank you." But he barely ahd time to finish, the boy running away quickly. Had he scared him. He looked back at Tsume as he spoke. Reta, sounded like something he should know. "Am I skittish?" he asked, looking back where Oliver went. "I don't think I've ever seen such golden hair. Is it natural?" But he then paused, staring at his bangs before moving them out of his face. They weren't exactly a natural color. "I think a haircut is in order." Elliot nodded goodbye to the maid, moving to sit in his desk chair and fed Yukie. "Chef actually seemed a bit busy, but no doubt he was very happy. He's set Oliver to work for him." Yuki was definitely going to be a fat little baby. A healthy, fat, little baby.

Tsume grinned, "No, questions are good. they mean you are learning and creating new memories. If you have Falian blood, that is if you are born to one of the different species living within Falia, you will age slower. Primarily it is humans that age quickly and the rest of the races like you, Elliot, Leo and I age slower, but over time the bloodlines outside of Falia have become so mixed with human blood that they age at the same rate. Purebreeds like youself, will age slower than humans and have a longer life span. make sense? If you moved to Falia and lived there for a few years, your body would adapt and you would age at the same rate of Falians. Humans, however, must stay in Falia or visit often if they wish to continue to age slowly." he sat back, it was a bit convoluted and no one really knew exactly what it was about Falia that made you age slower. "Oliver? yes, his hair is natural. Yes, you are skittish and a haircut is entirely up to you, now eat." Leo nodded, "Good. i'm glad Oliver has found a place here. he needs it, though he still isn't gaining as much weight as i would like. maybe i should have Justin keep an eye on him to make sure he eats a proper amount regularly...though i do not wish to burden Justin anymore. he's been so sweet with Oliver." Rin pushed the empty bottle away and let out a burp without having to be patted. "well then, excuse you" but Leo was smiling as he wiped the extra milk away from Rin's mouth.

  The hare listened intently to the wolf. Born to Falian families aged slower as did natural purebred regardless of location. Even better he was a purebred, apparently. That mean he had a pure family as well! But that thought left something empty, already knowing he had no parents here, but there was someone else. Someone else was here. He'd know once they visited. But back to the topic at hand, moving to Falia was good. "Eat?" he looked at the breakfast he'd forgotten he was holding before starting to eat the greens happily. Vegetables were delicious. "Well there's been a lot of stress in the castle." Elliot said, "He's been busy with it all, and with Ipo's funeral." he would ahve never guessed that Ipo liked banana pudding. When had he even eaten something like that? He snapped back to attention as Yuki pushed the bottle away and whined. "Come here." And began to pat him gently, and pat, and pat, and pat. "I'm sure we can get one of my sister's to watch him eat, probably Emily. She's the least threatening."

Tsume watched closely, but KAshi ate without reservations and he nodded, relaxing a bit. his eyes trailed to the cart and there was a plate that was obviously for him. it had more meat on it that anything and he smiled a little. Leave it to that genius Chef to take him into consideration as well. "this, i believe, is mine. you're not enough of a meat eater for them to send this for you." he snagged the plate and settled against the foot of his bed before starting to eat. "You are a hare, do you remember that?" Leo nodded, "let's assign them both. i don't want to make Justin jealous because Emily is paying more attention to Oliver than him. and then they can share the duty so it won't be as hard on them. what do you think? will that work?" he was rocking Rin now, who had settled happily against his chest. his head was back against the chair, his eyes half closed, but he was just resting, there was no way he would fall asleep while his children were awake. time with them was too precious for that.

  Kashi paused, a lettuce leaf sticking out of his mouth before it slowly disappeared into the mouth, being chewed on quickly and swallowed. "Yes. I know that. I grabbed my ears, remember?" and reached up to grab them again, pausing to put the chunk of lettuce in his mouth to pull his ears down. "Fee? Earvs." and let them pop back up, eatting the lettuce before looking at the meat curiously. "May I have a small piece? I'll give you some of my red cabbage." Elliot chuckled. "I don't see Justin or Emily growing to jealous. They're smart enough to actually talk about it." and felt the warmth of the spit on his back before moving Yuki away and wiping his mouth. "Make some noise next time, all right?" and chuckled, holding him again, running a nail on the bottom of the babe's feet and watching Yuki try to curl in before spreading out. "Justin and Emily will be fine. As long as he stays away from Martha and Annabelle I think he'll slowly come around."

Tsume held the plate out, "have as much as you want." he was enjoying speaking to Kashi again, but there was a small part of him whispered that this wasn't his Kashi. This wasn't the hare he'd worked so hard to carefully bring out of his shell. this was the old Kasi, the Kashi from before they had met and Tsume didn't know if he had it in him to go through all of that again. he'd finally gotten close, so close, they were almost there and now, everything had been lost. it was like a race where he had run for days and days and just as he stepped across the finish line only to learn it had changed into the start. he forced those thoughts away, but the voice was still there. still whispering. Leo smiled, "I think Martha might be sweet on him, though she has a hard time showing it." he closed his eyes and forced his head up, it was too tempting to keep them closed with his head relaxed against the soft chair. "whatever shall the people do learning that their prince and future king is married to a former sex slave, and their princesses in love with a dishwasher and a former slave?" he chuckled, "that added to the alliance with Falia that is the source of superstition and fear and the taking over of Reta not to mention the fact that my people will set up a trading route with yours....a lot has changed for them in a little time. do you think they will revolt?"

  "Oh? Really?" He'd expected the man to say no, but, no, he actually hadn't expected that. He knew he'd say yes. "Thank you." and moved forward with his own plate, staring at Tsume's for the smallest piece, but not too small. No bigger or thicker than his pinkie. Ah, but he had a long pinkie finger. And he couldn't grab a piece! That was rude! Not with his fingers! "I, I think you're right. Maybe I won't eat any today." And began scooting back to hsi spot against the headboard. "O-Oh! Would you still like a piece of cabbage?" And offered his plate to the man. What he noticed though was that as soon as he looked up at Tsume, Tsume looked down. And it hurt. "I-If you want." "Martha is a porcupine." he agreed with a small chuckle, looking up to see the blue eyes open sleepily. Oh Leo... "I doubt Martha is in love with Oliver. Emily and Justin requires me to silently seethe and judge him as he grows up, but I can accept it." and was now wagging his fingers at Yuki, the baby trying to focus before Daddy let him grab a finger and pull it to his toothless mouth. "There is always revolt with change. The question is how big or small the revolt shall be. Nalaenir shall deal with it in a peaceful and informative manner. Our revolts are just large groups of people with plenty of things to say." he chuckled, standing up and going over, kissing the fully black bangs. "You should rest. I will take care of the children. They will be here when you awaken. You're exhausted, sweetheart."

Tsume saw that there was one particular piece Kashi had been eyeing but didn't grab. he lifted an eyebrow, and smirked, plotting. "sure, thanks." he took the cabbage, used it to pick up the sausage which he then dropped onto Kashi's plate, "That way i didn't get my fingers on your food." he sat back and nibbled on the cabbage, "Kashi, i was joking when i said we were lovers before, but we-we weren't far from it." he looked down at his plate, knowing that he should probably just shut up, but unable to stop himself now. "So-so, if you need someone, or-well, just need something to hug I'm here for you, ok?" and didn't he just sound like a pup who's mom left him? Leo cringed a little at the kiss to his now hated bangs. "i'm always exhausted. I could sleep, and sleep, and sleep and i'd wake up exhausted, my love. I'd rather be exhausted with my family than exhausted alone in bed." he stood up to help wake himself up, "maybe we should have your uncle and father take the boys tonight." though both boys had slept through the night from the start, Leo felt he wasn't being fair to his husband. "Then i can treat you to a proper honeymoon night."

  He waited for the man to take his piece, about to pull away until the sausage was dropped on his plate. "Oh." And looked at it, ears raising before picking it up. He wasn't craving it, but it was always better to eat these things when he wasn't craving it. Oh, deja vu. He stared at the little piece of meat and smiled as a few bits of memory returned, him and Tsume in the town shopping for he already forgot what. But they had sausages between a hot bread bun. The words though made him look up in shock. Not.... not far from lovers? What? But his body suddenly reaction on his own and he moved toward the wolf, kissing him hard and almost possesively, forcing his mouth open. He didn't care that the wolf tasted like meat or that he himself hadn't bathed. But then just as quickly Kashi snapped away, eyes wide in fear and shock. "I-I'm sorry! I-I don't know! my body! It just!" And gave a sudden yell as his face turned so red it could have been purple. The yelling stopped, hazel eyes still staring, heart pumping in his ears before he grabbed them and pulled them down, yelling again. Too many emotions! Yelling was the only good source of getting rid of them. Then silence again, the body trembling like he was having a seizure. He didn't know why he'd done that. Oh god he'd kissed someone. That was his first kiss! He covered hi face with his ears this time and yelled again, falling to the side and writhing in the worst of embarrassments before sitting up. "I have chores to do. Chores. I need a bath" and got out of the bed quickly, legs a little weak but he could manage. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Tsume!" and with his face still covered and in his night shirt he walked to the door, bumping into the dresser before backing up and aiming for the direction of the door, moving his ears into one hand and feeling around for the doorknob. Elliot didn't understand why Leo was so exhausted. He blamed the children at first but they slept far too much to wear Leo out. They only woke up for feeding times and to be changed. At the mention of a honeymoon Elliot gave a small but concerned smile. "My dear, you are already so tired I fear you may fall asleep during the act. I can survive, it has only been a month. You need to recuperate from whatever illness is ailing you."

Tsume very carefully put the plates back on the cart so they wouldn't get spilled. he walked to the door where Kashi was trying to get out and lifted the hare, carrying him back to the bed. "not this time," he said softly, dropping Kashi onto the bed and crawling up so he hovered over him. "Not this time. I lost you once, Kashi. I lost my chance to show you how i felt, but not this time." he kissed Kashi, his hands trailing up the other's nightshirt, hiking it to his shoulder. Tsume lowered his mouth to Kashi's neck, nibbling and playing as his hands explored the far too thin chest. "I love you." he whispered, his voice barely audible to his own ears. "please, don't leave me again." his arms wrapped around Kashi and nearly crushed him, holding him close. "Please, Kash. don't leave me again." Leo shook his head, "Elliot-" he looked at his husband, his eyes almost feverish, "elliot, i want you. please, i need-i haven't" he sat down and looked at his hands, Rin balanced against his chest, "this is the longest i have gone since i was ten years old, Elliot. if i don't-don't soon i think i will go insane. please?" he looked into his husband's eyes, "please?"

  Kashi finally had the doorknob but before he could twist it he was lifted like he weight no more than a cup of flour. "No! Mr. Tsume!" He cried, eyes still squeezed shut before finding the bed on his back. The brown eyes snapped open at that, afraid of what would happen next but there was Tsume over him like a predator, but, a sad predator. The urge to yell was gone, this man loved him? He flinched and tried to hide himself as the man's hands lifted the nightshirt, already feeling lightheaded with all the blood pumping in his ears but then the foreign feeling of teeth on his neck made him jolt, giving a small whimper. "Mr. Tsume." He swallowed a small moan, giving a shuddered exhale as the hands traveled across his chest before he was pulled into a too tight hug to a body that was much too hot. What did he say to a man who he barely remembered? "Please be patient." came the soft response, hugging the man back. "Please, Mr. Tsume. Please be patient with me." The longest Leo had gone? The lynx could only stare in shock, thinking quickly of their past times and he had to admit, once a week during the busiest weeks. He looked down at Yukie in his arms, now asleep, no longer sucking on his daddy's finger. "All right, but just for tonight, Leonard."

Tsume slowly let go, forcing himself to release Kashi. "I know." he whispered softly, pulling away and sitting on the edge of the bed. "sorry. i didn't mean to force you." he pulled Kashi's shirt down and smiled tightly before standing. "you clothes have been washed and mended. i'll get the for you, but promise you will finish eating, ok?" his chest felt hollow. like his heart had simply disappeared, had hidden and refused to come back. he went to his dresser where the suit lay waiting and carried it back over, "here. i-should go. i can't trust myself around you." he went to the door, unable to look at Kashi without pain filling the hole in his chest. "i'm sorry." he left and went to the nearest window, using it to vault out of the castle. he shifted and ran into the gardens, needing to get away for a while. Leo smiled and got up to kiss his husband, "Thank you. Really." he kissed Elliot once more before sitting back down. "we should go and ask them if they could watch Rin and Yuki soon, though. they should be finished having sex by now, though they are probably bathing."

  The long fingers gently touched the man's cheek, but Tsume only moved out of reach, lowering the hare's night shirt. "I'll eat. I promise." was the only thing he could say. He didn't want to speak louder than a whisper, the wolf looked erady to break and it hurt Kashi so much to see it. They were friends and his friend was hurting. But it was Kashi's fault, his memories weren't there. His memories were gone and Tsume was hurting because of it. "I trust you, though." he sat up and took the clothes before looking at Tsume. "Hey, I remember--" but he was gone too quick. "I remember eating sausages." and he suddenly felt like crying. Just like that. He stood, bathing with the pitcher of water, bar of soap and washcloth, pouring the water in a bowl before drying off and dressing. What made him pause though were his pants. They had been fixed, or a large piece of fabric had been sewn back on with stitches so small and smooth you could hardly tell. He was going to leave but stopped, going back to the bed and eating his breakfast in silence, long ears nearly limp on his head. Elliot kissed back each time with a chuckle. "You're welcome. And we'll give them a few more minutes, then, before going to bother them." he wiped his fingers on his shirt, the fat baby asleep in his arm before giving a soft purr. "I'm glad they look like you."

Leo nodded and moved to take Rin to the crib, the baby sleeping again. they were more active now, and bigger. a lot bigger, but they still spent most of their time eating or sleeping. Leo had a feeling that they wouldn't be doing that more much longer, though. already Rin was trying to roll off of his stomach and onto his back during tummy time and Yuki was able to get on his side before rolling back to his stomach. "our big boys."
