Leo had to sit down as well. "he wishes you to-" but he needed to be there to support his husband, not to freak out. "elliot," he smiled as gently as he could, "take your time in answering, ok? it doesn't have to be right now, even if you wait a month or two, i'm sure your father will understand. for now let's get the baby's feed." they were starting to get fussy, but really! what was that man thinking? Leo had half a mind to go and have a talk to him about this. maybe if Elliot took a nap, he'd do just that. Tsume grinned, "deal!" this was going to be the quickest move of their lives. Oliver found the clothes quickly, other than what he was wearing and an extra set of clothing, they were all he owned. that and his teddy bear. he put them on over the clothes he was already wearing, wanting the layers and ran back to where he'd left the princess. "sorry for the wait." he bowed his head, "i am ready."

The white ears twitched before looking back up. He was right. This was such a large decision, he couldn't make it right now. Maybe a few months ago he'd hop on taking it but now, now he had other things to worry about than the title. "You're right. Let's feed them first, I'll rest afterwards when they do." he mumbled, setting the papers back down and standing, taking Rin. "Come here, child. We'll get you some food right away." and kissed the top of his head.
Martha waited for Oliver to return, deciding to try her hand at washing dishes. She'd seen Justin do it once or twice. What'd he do? Glancing around the kitchen she looked at the knobs and turned them on before finding the sponge thing. Ew it was wet and squishy. No! No she was a warrior! Ignoring the feeling she rubbed gently at the cups, not sure if she was doing it right. At least the dish was already clean. She rinsed it off after a minute or two, drying her hands and turning off the water just as Oliver ran in. "Mmkay." and walked to the back door. "C'mon we'll stay close to this door." and moved to the side where the snow was still mostly untouched. "We're going to pack snow and make a wall. That's our fort." and began making the bottom of the for, scooping snow towards the mound which would hopefully turn into a large wall.

Leo smiled, "that's a good idea, my love." he walked with Elliot down to the kitchen, planning out what he would say to the king in his head as they went. the kitchen was empty, as was to be expected. it didn't take long to find the bottles and fill them with milk. "we are lucky that the Maidens are so generous to the babies." he moved to sit on a stool and gave Yuki his bottle, the baby drinking happily. Oliver nodded, watching what she did before trying to copy her. He kept getting distracted, though. he picked up a handful of the snow and closed his fingers around it, forming a hand shaped sliver of snow. "so strange...." he shook his head and went back to packing the snow with the princess. Snow was weird. he was cold, his face hurt and his mitten were getting wet, but he kept working, ignoring the discomfort. if the princess wished him to build a wall with this strange substance, he would build a wall.

  "They really were, but I suppose that they expected them to be hungry so quickly and to such an extent." Rin only had to hear the lids of the milk jars open before squirming and even giving a few fussy whines, demanding that his Papa feed him. "Now now," Ellito chuckled, topping the bottle, "Have patience. It's a virtue, you know." and placed the fake n****e into the open mouth, Rin silencing and sucking the bottle for all it was worth. "Now you're happy." Rin was drinking that awfully quick. Elliot would need a towel over his back for the spit up this child was going to produce. Strange? Martha looked over at him again. "I guess it's strange to you. It's just frozen water. Apparently the clouds are water too." she said, looking up at the gray sky. "It, uh, it condescends? It turns into itty bitty bitty bitty super small droplets of water we can't see. So tiny it floats up into the sky and it collects up making clouds and depending on the temperature down here, it can be rain or snow." she continued to pack the wall, snow standing to continue. "We get all sorts of weather up he--bfft!" a snowball hit her in the face and she staggered back before falling on her bum. "I wasn't ready!" she yelled, quickly packing one and throwing it. it didn't make it, Annabelle focusing really hard to stop it from hitting them. But she was just standing, it was Emily who threw it. "That's cheating!" Martha screeched, throwing another one. Annabelle dropped the first ball to focus on the second. She ended up ducking. "It's practice." Emily said. "You've practiced your ability countless times." and threw another one. Martha grabbed Olvier and hid him behind the small wall before he could get hit. "Make snowballs!"

Leo laughed a little, "we might have to make him bigger bottle from now on, people will think we are starving him!" Yuki was eating at his usual slow pace, looking around and getting distracted. "hey now, food. remember?" he moved the bottle a bit and Yuki began to suck again. "silly thing." Oliver stared at the princess in horror. were they being attacked? he should protect-he was shoved behind the mount of snow they had built up and ordered to make something "Snow balls?" he asked, utterly confused. but, if this was snow, then maybe snow balls were balls made out of it. he gathered some of the snow and pushed it into as close to a ball shape as he could before holding it up. "H-Here." but she said ball s. he needed to make more. as soon as that one was gone he started working on making as many as he could as quickly as he could. good thing he could work fast thanks to his years of slavery. it didn't take long for a small pile to be built, each one closer to being perfectly round.

  "Why are you so hungry, huh?" he asked Rin, taking the empty bottle before the babe could swallow air and filled it up again. "I'm glad, though." he murmured. "I need to thank the trees. I so desperately wanted an heir, and I worried about it with you but would have settled on adopting. They have given me heirs, though they shall be my children first and heirs second. And it just makes me happy." he kissed Rin's head before pressing a kiss to his husband's lips. "I'm very happy." Martha was getting frustrated, Annabelle either catching her throws with her ability or dodging it and throwing one back. Martha only had herself because Oliver was busy making her stockpile. After the fifth hit she ducked, panting hard. "We need to re-strategize. You got any abilities worth noting?" and glanced around the teeny wall, her sisters now building a wall.

Leo nodded, "the trees really were looking out for us, my love. we have two heirs for two kingdoms. we will never have to worry over who will succeed the throne." Yuki finished when Rin was half way done with his second, but he didn't want anymore so Leo burped him. "i wonder if Rin has a hollow leg for how much he eats." Oliver shook his head, "I'm sorry, princess, slaves have no abilities. if I did i would have been cleansed and they would have been burned out of me." he explained as quickly as he could, building up the wall higher now the snow balls were not needed. "princess, why have we been attacked?"

  "I've no earthly idea but he looks about finished." the baby was just beginning to hold the n****e in his mouth without any real sucking. Elliot waited a bit longer before removing the bottle, wiping Rin's mouth before burping him. He just smiled at Leo, at peace with the world. "You're so tiny." he murmured towards Rin as he burped. "Time for bed for you two now, and Daddy." "Jesus out of everyone who doesn't have an ability." she grumbled, thinking of what to do. "What? No, this is a game. It's a Snowball war. Technically, the point of the game is to have fun, for me, you need to strategize to beat your opponent."

Leo stood and nodded, "My boys need their rest." so I can slip away to speak to a certain king. he walked with Elliot up to their rooms, Yuki already asleep by the time they got there. "poor thing. tired and hungry, that's the worst. don't worry," he put Yuki down and covered him with a blanket, "you won't have to know those feelings, not really. you're safe, my love. all of you are," he included Elliot, "because i'm right here to protect you." A game? where you managed to hit the others? it was kind of like the tricks and games the kitchen staff used to play on him. he nodded to her and started to look for a good place to move to. "princess, there are a set of trees over there that i can hide behind. you will be seen with your dress. if you step out and start throwing the snow balls, it might distract them while i hide behind there. i'll be able to throw behind their wall from there."

  Elliot followed, moving down the hall with his love, purring with each breath as Rin fell asleep. The boy refused to do so, however, eyes closing before opening again. he only bothered to fall asleep once he was tucked in next to his brother. "If you protect us, who will protect you?" and gave Leo a soft kiss on the cheek. Martha looked at the trees, not wanting to have to go herself but was surprised when Oliver mentioned it. "All right then, you're going to go do it." She filled one arm with the balls before looking at Oliver. "Ready? One, two, three." And stood, furiously throwing the balls as fast as she could at her sisters who quickly threw back, hiding behind their half build wall.

Leo smiled, "you, of course. and the boys, when they are old enough. I will protect you so in turn, you protect me." he kissed Elliot's nose and took his hand, leading him to the bed, "time for daddy to take a nap." he lifted the covers and waited for Elliot to lay down before tucking him in and laying over the blankets beside him. "rest well love." Oliver grabbed three balls and watched, waiting for the perfect moment. as soon as both girls were behind the wall, he ran. in seconds he was safely behind the trees, ready for when the girls would go back on the attack. they would be looking at Princess Martha and that would be his chance to counter.

  "It's the weather. It's been cloudy all day and I just feel lethargic." he allowed Leo to tuck him in, turning to look at the cerulean eyes and smiling. "I will try my best." The silver eyes closed slowly, trying to remain focused on Leo's face. "Love you." he murmured, the eyes barely staying open before sleep closed them. Martha grinned as Oliver ran, her sister's working on making more snowballs. She lobbed another over their wall, a screech from Annabelle proving she made one hit. "Are you ready?" She shouted towards Oliver. Emily stood. "Of course!" and threw a ball which narrowly avoided Martha. "Throw throw throw!" the tomboy shouted, throwing the last of her balls.

Leo kissed Elliot's forehead once he was asleep, checked the babies and slipped out. He asked a maid and she told him that His Majesty the King was in his study. Leo thanked her and walked to the study briskly. He knocked once and entered, not waiting for a response. "Hello." He smiled sweetly and walked to stand in front of the desk, "My husband received some rather interesting papers today." he placed his hands on the desk and leaned forward, "Might I ask how crowning him at this particular point in time could possibly even come close to a good idea to you?" he kept his voice light and the smile in place, but there was venom hidden in his words. Oliver shook his head a little. She'd nearly given him away shouting like that. What was the point of him running when they were distracted if she just-he stopped himself and stepped out from his cover, throwing the snow balls at the girls. he managed to hit them, to his surprise, and he ducked back behind the trees before they could recover enough to look his way. he quickly made more snow balls and waited for another chance to step out.

  "Why yes, the weather is wonderful." Alvaro murmured while writing out a document. "No snow today but the clouds are looking rather gray. I believe we're due for another heavy snowfall, yes." he looked up finally, sighing and rubbing his eyes with ink stained fingertips. "Lewis has already given me the speech, I assume there is nothing you could say which will be new, so let me tell you briefly what I told Lewis. One, after returning from Reta he was to be crowned, however you and him became close so I put it on hold while he helped you, which I'm thankful for he's happy, I'm happy, Lewis is happy. Secondly, Because I put his crowning on hold I've done plenty of other paperwork he would no doubt have done himself, at at the same time I'm glad I've done it because he would not have been ready, so him deciding to fall in love with you was a wonderful choice on Fate's part. Thirdly, I have put it off for as long as possible, you and him have been put into too many dangerous and near-death situations or put yourselves in those situations. I would like for him to be crowned king before your children learn how to walk. Majority of my paperwork and letters are mostly directed towards Elliot's view on the policies of the world and I cannot answer for him, Leonard." he sighed, and leaned back in his chair. "Now you may speak." Emily gave a shocked yell, turning around and rubbing the snow from the back of her head. She didn't see anything. Annabelle couldn't turn around, nearly pelted in the face by Martha before ducking to make more snowballs. "Focus Emily, Focus!" they were running out of snow around them. Soon they'd have to tear down what little of a wall they had.

Leo straightened and crossed his arms. "I understand your reasoning, but did you ever once thing to speak to Elliot about this? You are his father and yet you chose to inform him of his succession through paperwork? You didn't think he might want to talk about this? To speak with you about whatever worries or fears he might have? Yes, he is a prince and is one of the most competent people I have ever met, but he's still so young. If you had seen his face when he read those papers..." Leo shook his head, "he had to give me Rin because he was afraid he'd drop him! all reasons for crowning him aside, the fact you informed him so coldly is what angers me the most." Oliver peeked around the corner and saw they were distracted again. he weighed the two snow balls he'd made in his hand before stepping out and hitting the two princesses. He followed after the balls, grabbing Emily first. he snagged the sleeves of her coat, pulled them over her hands and tied the cloth into a knot. He stole one of her snow balls and threw it up, distracting Annabelle long enough for him to do the same to her sleeves. when he finished he stood up and smiled a little at Martha. "they can't throw anymore."
