Belial smiled and relaxed, she was happy to see him. "I could never forget you little one," he told her. She had changed since their first meeting, much more confident and grownup. "No I don't change much little dear. You however ..." and he grinned not quite sure how to word the changes he saw and sensed.
His jealousy surged again as she returned to her brother, but outwardly it only showed in a tilt to his head that could be interpreted as simple curiousity or interest in the meeting.
"Greetings Kimihiro, it is nice to meet you. Ren spoke very highly of you when we met." He nodded
Isoke wasn't quite sure what to make of things, and remained fairly quiet though politely attentive. "Its good to meet you Jeiyana. I don't think I've ever been to the beach before." She tried to make some small talk as she followed along.

Rennoa watched Belial closely as he neared the two siblings and her tails flicked in thought but came to an end when words started slipping out. "Mew. But I like it shortened~" She chimed then turned to look at Belial from her brother. "What took you so long... " She said softly padding her ears back. "Hm? Ren is wha?" She blinked as though she were trying to take the information right out of his head. Though Belial could have changed, Ren surely didn't see it at the moment. Her mind was set on making him and Kimi happy today. "Da says that he would picnic today.. Right?" She turned to look up at Kimi with a smile. She turned her gaze to Belial, even if her thoughts were to keep close to him- the comfort of her brother kept her content. "Belial will stay this time?" She tilted her head asking him quite so to not just leave as he did last...
Tsukurou checked up the things as Jeiyana led the way.
"Hm? you haven't- there is tons of beaches.. how CANT you." It was a semi feel of unbelief. "Beaches are fun too yea know... sometimes. It feels nice, Tsu always takes us... but now since we're bigger we could go and venture. Not Kimi and Ren though.. They keep at home." Most of that adventurous thoughts were that 'she' didn't come 'home' as often and didnt have to stay. "Well now over here~ you'll get to, but it isn't that big of a deal. Just some water." She kept walking the path that was cleared away from most bushes for an easy path. Only a few minutes away and they would be right at the sandy shores yet again.. Jeiyana's eyes soften as she looked on ahead. "See we're almost there now! Com'on!" Even exhausted and beat up- the kit jumped along forward wagging her long tail sky high. Unknowing that she would soon come to find one of her 'munsters' when she got there.
"REN! HIRO!" She squeeled coming up from the wrap around and then the straight away, bouncing as happy as she could be.
Tsu's eyes had already soften by then. Just the look of the deer to the kit. "Jeiyana finally getting friends..." He said softly as he watched them only a few strides behind them. Of course he had almost all they need of course. "Mmmm.. Hot salt water would do her good.. Maybe some herbs.. " He was talking aloud but to himself. Thinking of the remedies he could come up with to mend the kit's wounds for the moment..

 "She does that with everyone she truly cares about, so I can say the same to you." He answers the adult, somewhat veiled. Kimihiro can't help that bit of jealousy that colors his honest reply, he only wanted what was best for his sister, and Belial was an untested element.
"I like it when you shorten it." He murmured against her ear, his eyes half lidded as he watched the interaction between the two, Kimi was openly curious as to Bel's answer.
"Hmm, yes Ren, and I think this is them now?" His eye focused up the beach where Jeiyana's happy voice rang from. He stood and moved across the sand with a wobbling gait, though it was less pronounced on the shifting and relenting surface than it was on solid ground and also less now that he was slightly older and more used to compensating for his way of moving. Others would tend to view it as a physical weakness he didn't take any extra advantages or assistance, except from his sister, and only because she wouldn't take 'no' for an answer.
"Jei-chan!" Kimi called in return, keen on seeing his other sister, he held an affection for Jei and was always happy to see her, though no one yet rivaled Ren in his eyes.

Bel chuckled at Ren's response to her brother's introduction. "Nicknames are for loved ones, I understand. I even let my sis shorten my name," he said. It didn't surprise him that Ren noticed his pause, "I'm sorry I just mean that you're different from when I first saw you, I just couldn't find the words to express it right." He then paused again to figure out how to reply to her question about what had taken so long. "It took time to find Isoke and convince her to come. I did promise to return with her after all. I almost came alone even today but she's here." He turned finally wondering just where his antlered friend was. "Ah and here she comes now..."
Isoke's cheeks darkened with embarassment as the adventurous Jeiyana went on about the beach. She began to wonder why she hadn't been to one before and at one point even started to stammer a reply, but couldn't get anything to come out. She just followed along at cheered up again picking up on the kit's excitement and trying not to think of the awkward meeting to come. Of course she had no idea just how awkward it was going to be ...

Right behind them, Tsu walked in strides of honest and humble. Honor all wrapped up in one. His tail flickering a bit as he made he way in to the sands and a smile came to his face as kimi greeted them. "This is Isoke, Belial's sister." He had gotten middle to the three of them, and saw out of the corner or his eye, Ren submitting herself to defense mode. He worried for her at times... He tried to help that but slowly one day she could became as out going as she was when she first came out of the box.
Jeiyana had a big smile on her face as she took in the sandy scent and was greeted by Kimi. Warm this feeling was, family.. All around and company~ She pulled her arms around him in a hug. Being so long away, and being alone- and in some harsh times and almost starved ~ She missed them quite dearly. Her tail wrapping around her leg was a habit now. "Kimihiro~" She said softly and then all the pain came rushing back.. But it only showed with a grumble then her leaving the grasp of hug she had of him, turning and looking at her adoptive father.. As he spoke and introduced her. "Wait. Who is Belial?" She tilted her head~ unknowing that behind her was the culprit named Belial. A male. Adult. MUNSTER!?
"...Huh?" She looked at her brother and nipped at his cheek. "And I like calling you it~" The word rang off her maw~ then registered what Belial was saying. Thinks about this..registers. "But wait... " More processing, that she didnt have friends that called her by nicknames because she only had her family. "...I wouldn't know." Flicks tails a bit. She heard his next words with content, that maybe she could relate.
"Ren doesn't change. Wait. Im more like ma~ I can grace dance better now!" She said with glee~ But then he mentioned his sister. The one that didnt look like him but was his sister. She blinked a bit and smiled. "The one with the stone!" She remembered following, hiding all her emotions. Trapped. When Kimi left her side, her gaze followed and the ring of Jeiyana's voice made her heart jump. "Belial~ Belial~ Jeiyana is here! And~and~" She had already made her way half way there til she saw an antlered ulaya, and started to move backwards- so much that she event usually hit Belial's leg.
She wasn't good with others.. not after that day with all those kits. She laid down finally and watched them.

Belial blinked in surprise at Ren's reaction to seeing Isoke. He nuzzled her gently. "Its alright thats my sister. She really liked the stone you found for her."
Then he looked curiously at Jeiyana and wondered what had happened to her. The siblings reacted to her like she was one of the family, adopted perhaps like he and Isoke had adopted one another? "Hello Jeiyana, I'm Belial."
Isoke moved slowly towards the group. Bel surrounded by the kits enthusiastically greeting each other; she had to hold in a laugh. It was a rather absurd image really. "Hello," she smiled at Ren. "Its good to finally meet you Belial's been talking about you for a while now. I'm sorry for keeping him from getting back right away. I'm sure he's told you its all my fault," she said the last with a teasing note, one reserved for her interactions with him.

While hugging Jei, Kimi smiled, he hadn't seen her in a while, and wanted to ask where she'd been and how she was, he noted that her arm was still bandaged with a slight frown then shifted his attention to the antlered female, "It's nice to meet you Isoke, I've only heard a little about you from Ren."
After Jei left his embrace he looked to Ren and almost went to her, but Belial was there, and she was hiding near him, so he hesitated and waited and watched the gathered with his good eye.

Familiarity. First step. She tried a smile but it was forced of course.. With how she treated her brother.. she didn't understand relationships with others. Friends. Enemies.. Her tails flickered and a growth of maturity started to lay within her.. and sprout out.. When Belial nudged her, one eye closed at the same side and she got up again. Bowing softly and gracefully.. Little by little, she just needed time.
"I heard only good things.." She would have backed more but she couldnt find it unless she ran behind Belial and that would have been more rude. Her ears fanned then slicked down to her head. Pressed. Then her eyes went to Jeiyana in a soft motion. "Jei.." She smiled softly and slipped under her brother to get to Jeiyana and finally curled her head under Jeiyana's chin. Lightly purring. "We've missed you.." Her voice soft and mature.
Tsu shook his head knowing what was going to happen. Or rather thinking he knew.
To everyone's surprised Jeiyana didnt completely freak out.. Though she laid a thick growl under her.. One step, cautious. If he was going to eat them. Flippin munsters.. Though she didnt freak. She laid waiting. Waiting for him to do something out of the ordinary and she'd go head first to attack.. So focused, and to her surprise ren slammed her out of her focus, and Jeiyana's paw wrapped around ren's form. "Hello Ren.. and who.. might this munster be." She showed her fangs which were a lil bigger than a child's.. at the male. She disliked him already. Just because he was a male. Forget the looks just a male. But the looks just made him look more monstrous.
She flicked her tail protectively , then wrapped it around Ren. "I don't want him close. To you.."
He smiled, even though he thought Jeiyana would attack the male for sure. He.. made her somewhat proud, though- the words were harsh. She was learning little by little not to attack any male adult she sees. "That is Ren's friend. He came to visit us with his sister..I believe we could calmly have a picnic. Don't you all think?" He nudged softly his son and daughter, giving them each a lick on their forehead. "Now- let us find our spot.." He nudged even Jeiyana at this time as he went around Beliak and trotted to the place in which he usually put the blanket down.
Thinking the kits were maturing.. little by little. Though they still had room to grow. "Ah, am I going to put this up by myself? I know some kits will be trotting their lil tails on over here. Yes?" He chuckled some...

Isoke sat back feeling very out of the little family loop. Something was going on she didn't understand with Jeiyana's reaction to Bel. She stepped to his side when she took notice of his tail lashing, a sure sign of his own discomfort.
Belial tried to control his tail's reation to his wounded pride. He understood though, at Ren's age it was only right for her siblings to come first. And he was a stranger to them. And he had come so close to breaking his promise to her. "She doesn't need me," he whispered to Isoke as she joined him. His tail twitched and he hung his head.
"Oh stop that," Isoke replied even as she nudged his head up. "Don't pout bro. She cares but there's a lot going on today. You show up with me, and apparently Jeiyana hasn't been around for some time. "
Belial had to admit she had good points there. Still he didnt' like how that Jeiyana watched him. he'd just have to be on his best behavior. "Come on sis we can't let them do all the work," he said finally raising his voice so the other's could hear. Together the friends trotted over to see what they could do to help.

Kimi moved to pile himself on Jei and Ren, "Tch, now Jei-chan, don't be like that. This is Ren's- friend, not everyone bigger is a munster, you're bigger, than you were." He nommed her ear to distract her from her aggressive nature and reiterated what his Da said.
Kimi raised his head to Tsu when he spoke and grinned when licked, "Yes, Da. No, well help, won't we, Jei-chan, Ren?" Then he turned his head to the two adults and watched them with his good eye. Kimi smiled when they stopped talking to each other and joined with the group. He hung back, as if he had a question for them, but didn't say anything when they drew close, instead he just walked near to them, his wobbling gait not slowing him a bit, as they all head where Tsu led.

Isoke nuzzled Bel with a slight purr while he continued on. She noticed Ren's brother seemed to almost be waiting for them. "Hi there. I dont' think I got your name earlier. Its been an interesting afternoon so far hasn't it? Is Jeiyana ok she doesn't seem to like my bro very much?"

She was uneasy. Very easy to tell.. having other around her family.. and even having a girl. His SISTER non the less... it was still possible wasn't it? She saw how close the other was.. and she looked lowly at herself. She wasn't as tall as the other girl.. Maybe he liked the odd ones out? She didn't understand and troubling herself as she slipped and walked with Jeiyana to their father was an easier answer.
"An interesting it will be.." He started to set up.
"...why do you have a munster here. He's YOUR friend. Right. Right." She pressured Ren.. she didn't like it at all. Protesting she slammed against her sides with her long tail. Green and frickled with gray spots along her back.
She looked at their brother. Odd and much in her own discomfort. "I see you conformed yourself... to letting ren go off with munsters." She growled at him.. In her absence- much has happened. hasn't it? She then pushed off and started for their father in a very harsh mood.
Pretty lil one indeed. But still as a rock..and hard as one. She wasn't to be reckoned with. "You really should find others your own age..Kits cannot eat you." She kept walking forward until they got there.
"....He is my protector... He promised and... he won't eat me. He said he'd protect me... " She said to Jeiyana. Their voices were only kept between themselves and didn't hit the height of others.. They learned this carefully. Her tails whipped around as she touched the cloth and immediately she slipped in to the bag and took out fish, berries, and leafs.. "Mmmmmmmerow." She purred as she took out one of her favor berries. Starwberries...
"You remembered!" She squeed at her dad and looked back to where Belial, Isoke and Hiro were.. Why hadn't she noticed he hung back? ... She looked down. "Hiro.. was always accepting to others.. he has many friends." She said quiet loud.. and didn't even notice. But the only ones there- were her father and Jeiyana- herself first.
"Do you honestly think that I would forget? Heh. Try not to." He smiled honestly- though he did have to remind himself.. every day- that he had children.. He tried to keep all their relationships tight and clung together.. His memories would sleep when the night rises. His ear twitched- he had not heard the girls talk prior but he did hear the comment about Hiro. "He is growing up.. and He will become a fine adult one day... Though he seems to have friends.. there is something odd. " The way he leaves.. and the way he comes back from his disappearances.
Though sometimes.. Well most. This adult would keep awake.. and see the arrival but not utter a sound.. He lightly smiled. "Its nice to see my kits around others... Friends." He chuckled some. "And you and Jeiyana have friends? Or did you forget them. Two are right here for you Ren.. only for you right? Your friends.. Don't stress yourself that Hiro is branching out. Ah and lil jeiyana." He flicked his tail and took out some blueberries for the young kit.
"You haven't been here in a while .. so I thought I might surprise you with these berries.. and." He took out a set of green fresh grapes...
Jeiayan's eyes widen. "....I ..."She reached out and snatched them- immediately hugging them for dear life. "I havent eaten these in forever!" She squeeled and her mood got a lot more lighter..
"Jeiyana... I understand that your travels had been harsh.. but what do you say to all of us having a good day.. And maybe conform to more friends... " He gave her a lick on the cheek. He was kindred after all.. He looked up. "I think you guys better hurry~ Or these lil boogers will eat all the food here!" He chuckled and felt the slap of both girl's on his wooden leg. From is one eye- he showed expression. Bliss~

"Since Jei-chan was little," Kimi begins, speaking as if he is now grown, and not still the child that he is, even if he is more grown now than before, "she has been a bit particular about, adults and those larger, strangers, she had a fight, or maybe she was trying to protect Ren, had an accident? I shamefully admit, I wasn't there to help them. But also even before that, Jei believed that her Da had eaten her Ma and also her litter-siblings, since she didn't see them soon after she was born. So, that is why, it seems, she doesn't like, she's afraid, so she feels she must be fierce in the face of others, when she also can be quite sweet, if she lets down her walls. Don't take it personally, and I'm sure she'll come around. Also I'm called Kimihiro, it's nice to meet you Isoke, and also your brother Belail."
Kimi turned his attention now to his sisters as they walked, watching them speak though he missed what they said, he could tell that Ren was nervous and Jei unhappy. When they stopped to eat, Kimi answered Jei, his voice wasn't over loud, but surely anyone could hear him. "I love Ren, just as much as you do Jei-chan, I trust her to make the friends she wants, and I trust those friends to treat her just as I would treat her, better even, just as I'd do the same for you and your friends, cause you know I love you just as much as Ren does." he hobbled to her side and purring nudged against her, "Now be nice, you can't have made no other friends while you were gone?"
Kimi settled into a laying position now and he held a pleasant smile on his face, somehow, perhaps because Jei was so against them, he worked extra hard to be for Bel and Isoke, he could see that perhaps in time Jei might learn not to fear adults and strangers because they were not all bad? He had missed the interaction and conversation about himself, but what could he say on that, nothing more than he had already to Ren, maybe in time, she'd come to understand.

Isoke nodded understandingly. "The things that happen to us when we're very young can shape us for a long time," she replied, just stopping herself from reaching up to rub at her antlers. It was hard for her to be in so much company as well and she was happy that she in present company her appearance wasn't being commented on. It was rather comforting to see such a closely bonded group.
Belial took a seat close to Rennoa with Jei on the opposite side. He was determine to enjoy this time and keep his petty jealousy in check. It wasn't easy and from time to time his tail twitched. He looked over the impressive spread of food and grinned. "So Ren my dear what would you recommend?"
As Isoke sat down to share the meal she looked again at Jeiyana and blinked as she saw an older male with a similiar green basecoat. Since she was sitting close to Tsu she leaned over and whispered, "Do you know Jei's father?" she inquired as she thought of another meal shared with someone other than her brother.

Turning so she could see Belial~ She smiled brightly. "Strawberries! They're the best!" She took up a paw full out and held it up to him. "Because their my favorite~ Sweet.. And a little sour." She nodded and took one herself.. Her ears went down. "mm" The tangy sour hit her fangs and she giggled.
Her tails batted behind her and her ears lifted as she heard the words of Hiro.
Her heart tightened and she turned to him. Her words were confusing at times. Yes. He had love for them all.. and her memories were betraying her much. She looked down immediately after and let her tails flicker...
"hm belial?" She looked up at him and tilted her head. "Well.. but I dont know what Belial eats regularly.." She shrugged~ naturally unsure.
He took out a set of fish already cooked, and looked around. "i might have to catch more..." He smiled. Then his attention was put to the female.
She felt Hiro come to her side and nuzzle her. She lightly purred and then nipped at his ear. "Oh please brother." She tugged some then let go. "Your words honor me~ yet I still dont think letting her go off alone isn't sufficient nor responsible. " The roughness was easing some. "I made... two friends I guess.... but their another story." She lightly growled and looked up at Isoke.. With eyes much like her father's.. then she reverted the attention to Tsu. Thinking what they were saying.. she flicked her tail a bit suspiciously. Then turned to Belial and ren.
The burying in her heart that a munster was about them.... And welcomed so calmly... He complimented munsters pretty darn well. After all. That tail swishing got her uneasy, was he ready to attack? .....
He leaned close to Isoke's ear. "I know him well. A kind young lad.. I am not sure why Jeiyana does not see his kindness... His life stirred when he finally found the girl whom had these kits... He is still looking.. and he has been trying his best to be a good dad but when he comes near Jei- she runs..." He nodded softly. "Eyes of crimson red... that lad hah. Though were to kind to do just about any harm to a fly~ unless for survival."
She was uneasy again.. and her ears werent good enough to hear tsu's words.. but she heard the ringing in her ear. They were talking about her. Then she shot a look a Belial. "Don't you think its tempting the waters that you are treating her with such familiarity." She hissed at him.. "Ren.. " She said in warning.
Tsu put a paw finally on Jei's head and pushed down a bit. "I dont think threats are a part of us having fun Jei. Why dont you go play in the water. Or eat up.. " He nodded some and looked to Hiro. "Aren't you the loving lad.. just like your mother. Always so accepting." He shook his head- even if he held that same trait- he wouldnt admit to it. Everything good about the kits were KIRARA'S traits and all the bad would be his. Wagging his tail lightly.
"Hm... I think we're just about even in genders. Just one dip of fishing and I think we'll have at least 2-3 fish for everyone~ I didnt expect SO MANY.." He chuckles as if it were a huge party. "My little princesses." He referred to the two lil girls. "You might want to show Isoke that one cave~ or even the forest~ because i think a good hunting would be just about right in a lil bit. Not now though~ let us sit comfortably in each other's presence.
Ren blinked up at her father as she was called princess. Only one was suppose to call her that..
"The only princess here is Ren. And I wouldn't have it any other way.." She quickly slipped a look to belial. It was THEIR princess... And like guards~ she was very much protected. though of course~ like any dense princess- ren didn't even know.
"Heh your a princess Jeiyana! Your apart of us. And Isoke too!" She smiled softly~ kindess was overflowing again. masking the feelings she had which was kept locked away. then she took Hiro- singled him out. Talking as if no one was there which was often just a reaction when she talked to him. "Kimi.... do you want ah... strawberry..too?" her ears flattened- it was like it was hard to talk to him now.. And she didn't know why it was different.. Maybe too many ulaya in one place was getting her nervous? Who knows~
