Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sah was just as pleased as punch as he nodded. "Chocolate and sugar cookies.. got it! Like I'd leave out what you like the most." He snickered and shook his head like the thought never crossed his mind. Which, in truth, it hadn't.

"If you wanna learn more about the Gods or just about our kind in general, I really have no problems with teaching you. It'll take a bit of time to learn everything but if you're truly interested.. there are a lot of books to read through and you can meet the Elders of our kind as well. Keeper has the most info out of anyone I know really." Kali could be a teacher but he mainly didn't have the time for other people. He only extended this invite to Angelus cause he lived in the house with them and was considered part of the family by now. His face lightened when Silent said he could bring his book so he didn't care about what they were doing. It was bound to be fun anyway.

With a squee, Mouu hurried off to the island in the middle of the vast lake in the center of main Homegrounds, where his eldest brother lived. Kyoi stayed out there with his own family and sometimes tended to forget to visit. Not that he didn't want to, but because he was so busy there.

Akiya chuckled and nodded. "I know more about human things than they do, but there are no zoos here. We'd have to go to the human world to get there, but that's not a problem. It just requires them to change their clothing." Which kicked up the usual protests as he knew it did. The others didn't like dressing as a human did, loving their more free style of dress. "You will change and that's final. We've been through this before. Unless you want the humans to follow you everywhere, it's best to blend in..." Which meant masking spells for their wings but that was no big deal. Ruffling Angelus' hair again, he smiled. "Have you been to a zoo before?"

"And offend you? Never!" Giggling, he made sure he added a lot, as well as those rice crackers Jiro had taken to. Being in the kitchen was Sah's passion and joy, other than being a parent period. Actually, their fourth child wasn't there at the moment, Pearl and Mahon, family friends, having kidnapped him to babysit. But Sah didn't look like he had gone through a labor that nearly cost him his life. That last one had been more difficult for some reason and Akiya said that no more children would be happening if it put his musholen's (Tis a term of endearment for Akiya's kind) life in danger. He couldn't handle it if anything happened to his Sah. But it had been along while since last Kyoi had come to visit. Probably because of his very.. sexually demanding mate. But Sah was fine with them as well.

"You're very welcome." Kali, out of all the children born of Akiya and Sah, took the most from his Shouhin, both in looks and demeanor.. for the most part. "It's a pleasure to help out if I can." Finishing off his meal since Mouu was gone and couldn't steal anymore, he enjoyed it.

It took a bit before the back door opened again and admitted Mouu and a slighter male into the house. His hair was an almost teal blue and was pulled out of his eyes for the most part, those locks still fell into his gaze. Burgundy eyes shifted around before he smiled brightly and waved. Kyoi was the eldest, but the smallest of the teen set of kids. Though his looks belied the fact he had a set of twins himself. Giggling as Sah nearly bowled him over in a hug, he returned it happily. "I heard something about an outing and then Mouu was yanking me out of the house! Aya wasn't overly pleased but he understands."

While this was going on, Akiya chuckled and shook his head. Out of all his kids, Kyoi was the one who favored long skirts and small shirts. Just because it was comfy for him. But thankfully, his eldest knew how to hide his wings on his own. "It'll be a lot of fun. There are a lot of animals to see and learn about."

Jiro looked over at Silent over his tall mug of green tea, giving a shrug after a bit. "Whatever works." Why should it bother him that they were going to this zoo place? "It sounds interesting..." Yes, he liked being difficult, even if he rather looking forward to the chance to learn something new.

The affection was most definately return cause he adored Silent and Angelus, nevermind the issues his little imp and Angelus had with each other. They were just like brothers anyway. One day they would just accept it for what it was. Sooner or later, Silent would get to meet the fourth and smallest member of their family.. if they could get him back from their friends. But since their home was big, they liked to have visitors and probably would not turn down the chance to meet Silent's family. Sah had wondered about that but could never ask cause he didn't wish to pry too much. And sometimes he liked to ask too many questions.

Kyoi looked around his Yuhin at Silent and then at Angelus before he smiled and nodded. "Yes, I would be Kyoi. It's a pleasure to meet you finally. I've heard a lot about you! I would have brought over some of the chocolate muffins I was making.. but this one yanked me off too fast." Mouu didn't look ashamed in the least, actually he was rather proud about it. "Maybe next time."

Sah wanted to ask about Riktor and Allicard, Kyoi's twins but he waited til later. He loved to gossip as well, something that Akiya sometimes had trouble with. But was more than used to. The angel was listening to Angelus at the moment and he grinned. "Yup, they have a lot of animals that I'm sure you've read about. It's a good experience, though it's not always fun to go when it's really hot >>." Sweating was not a fun pastime.

"I'm sure I will..." He was fine with going and he was even happier that Kyoi was going along as well. This wouldn't be so bad... he supposed.

Sah perked at the thought of going out and dancing and he bounced, cutely wiggling his hips while Akiya did blush, though he coughed sharply and willed it away quickly. "A night out would be awesome! It's not often I leave here and I will admit to sometimes being curious about what that world has hehe." Ignoring Akiya's muttering about not allowing himself to be mauled should they go, he packed the last of the napkins and utensils before hefting the huge basket off the counter. When Akiya looked to take it from him, he playfully hissed at him. "I got it! Honestly!" THough he loved his seme, and he knew Akiya was only doing this cause it was in his nature, he could handle something as simple as carting around food.

"I'll bring some over next time then." Kyoi was like Sah and he loved to cook and he had a huge garden back home that he had handplanted himself. It was his pride and joy, outside his family. Watching everyone get ready, he tilted his head a bit. A zoo huh? This should be rather fun and new! He loved new things!

Akiya was pouting at Sah and goosed him as Angelus brought up the question of buying books and he nodded. "Sure. I don't see why we can't. We can buy other things too while we're there. It's fun to bring home things." Kali was in agreement with it. He read about neatherdemons, unicorns, Plantars.. things that humans don't hear about or know of. So ordinary animals or the human realm, he didn't read up on. Though he did read Akiya's stash of various manga and got lost in it because he didn't know what most of those things were.

"Up to me? As you wish." With a snicker, Akiya drew out the symbol that would cast the spell to send them all to the human world. He had most definately taught Silent the spell. It made more sense that way sinc he knew she had another family she had to check on. But such a big group was a bit much for a novice. "All right. Everyone in X3" Jiro and Kyoi went in first, mainly because Kyoi was shoving Jiro through it, his excitement obvious.

Trying not to laugh as he was poked in the side, he coughed and looked thoughtful. "I'll think about it. Someone has to look out for you two, right? So you can have all the fun you want without worrying about people being a bother to you." Nodding cause he rather liked his way of thinking, he smirked as he watched kali head into the portal with Sah at his heels, humming his favorite song rather loudly.

"Definately other things, Angelus. I have no problems buying anything you see that you might like, ya know." He placed a hand on top of his head before he let him and Silent go on ahead of him. After all, he would have to be the one to close to portal behind them and it was always best to make sure no one else decided to tag along with them. "This will most definately be fun. So after you two."

Everyone had made it safely across and those who weren't weren't human clothing now were. Kali had was standing close by the entrance to the zoo with his ever present book, his hair pulled back a bit. He had already been wearing pants and a button up shirt so there was no need to change his outfit. Mouu had to be changed but he liked loose fitting clothing so he looked more like he was hitting the beach than a zoo. But he was fun, bouncing in place next to Kali and trying to get him to lose his place in his book, as always. And as always, it wasn't working.

Sah was with Jiro and Kyoi, making sure Kyoi didn't try to go ahead cause it was obvious he was more than eager to get inside. They would all go once Akiya showed up. Which he did a short while later, making sure everything was secure and no one was around. The least attention drawn to them, the better. Once it was closed and sealed properly, he joined the others. "All right. We all set to go?"

Akiya let his eyes scan over his family members, glad to see that they had all been changed if need be and their sets of wings were hidden, as they should be. "Anywhere is fine by me. I think since they don't know any of the animals here really, they'll follow."

Kali looked up briefly and nodded. "Anywhere you guys go is fine by me. As long as we get to see everything, I have no preference." Mouu had to agree cause this place was all sort of new to him.

Kyoi was quiet before he looked down at Jiro, who was looking at a poster of tigers and lions. "You wanna see that, Jiro? They look really cool, don't they." The Tale didn't say all that much cause there were too many people and it irked him but he nodded. Beaming, Kyoi looked over at Silent. "Let's go see those tigers and lion thingies.." He stumbled over the name a bit cause reading english was hard for him but he knew it well enough.

The group crowded around the edges and Mouu and Kyoi were squeeing over how cute they were. Was it obvious they were uke or what? Kali found them quite impressive and he reached into a pack he had and pulled out a notebook and a pen. He had to take notes for later studying quite naturally. Sah was rather impressed with them and he wished he could reach out to actually touch them or something but he knew that such a thing wasn't about to happen. Humans were weird like that.

Jiro peered through the bars at them, amused that they were looking at them. Probably sensed that they weren't exactly normal. Animals were smart like that, weren't they? Nycon's hell hounds were really smart for beasts of their nature, so why wouldn't other animals be just as wise? That's what made the most amount of sense to him anyway. They were really cool looking animals. Lions were what they were called, right? He'd have to remember that. When Angelus spoke to him, he looked over at him for a moment before looking back. "I think they look awesome. A shame they're stuck in those cages.. would be awesome to just go up and touch one of them..."

Sah and Akiya looked over at Silent and then at the Tales before they grinned and nodded. This was most definately already working in their favor.
