Rescuing a Brother
(( Done via AIM with Orphy ))
Reumiae was, needless to say, a bit worried and miffed. He'd come home to find his hunting knife missing (it tended to be in an obvious place), Flan bouncing about (upset about being left alone), and his sons no where in sight. While it was normal for Deimos to be out these days, his bag was still there and that had him on edge. Where the hell could they be?
Jiang came down from where their room was when Reu got home and a smile touched his lips when he saw him, "Reu?" He murmured, walking toward him though as he got close he could tell something was bothering the giant of a man. He reached a little hand to lay it against once of his arms before stepping closer to rest his cheek against it as well, "Are you alright?" He asked, worried that perhaps something hadn't gone well while he was away.
"The boys are missing and so is my hunting knife." Reumiae grumbled, carefully wrapping his arm around his little mate. Jiang had a calming effect on him.
"AND WILL YOU SHUT UP?!" he briefly shouted at the loudly babbling and crying Flan. That thing was really starting to get on his nerves. He winced a bit, glancing down at Jiang again - probably startled the little Kirin with his yelling.
About then, the door opened and Wynn came in carrying a sleeping Deimos. "Mama, Dad, Dei needs some help."
Jiang's eyes widened with surprise, the boys were off playing with a knife?! The idea was mind boggling to him, surely they knew better then to play with such a... his thoughts went dead as Reumiae yelled, causing Jiang to give a squealing sound as well as a jump, luckily the man had an arm around him which kept his legs from going out. He clung to him tightly and opened his mouth as though he were about to say something when he heard Wynn's voice, drawing his gaze over to him, "Ah! Wynn? Dei?" He gasped out, moving forward quickly, looking the pair over in a very worried and motherly fashion.
Reumiae walked over and helped to carefully lift his presently elder son up and carry him to the couch nearby. With Gigantes in view behind Wynn, Flan had suddenly shut up and started stammering apologies, shrinking back towards the attic - for some reason, the one-eyed cat terrified the nutbarthing beyond belief.
"Deimos got captured by a dragon, but I saved him!" the boy said proudly.
Jiang looked surprised before he found himself wondering if it were some sort of game that they were playing, thinking so until he scented blood. It wasn't much but it was there which worried him, "Are you alright? This dragon didn't hurt either of you to badly?" Jiang asked of Wynn, taking the boy's hand in his before he followed after Reu to check on Deimos as well.
As though sensing that he wasn't needed Gigan decided that he was going to play chase the nutbar while the others did their family bonding thing.
"He hurt Deimos." Wynn said, shaking his head and pouting. He was fine though, really. Hissy snake hadn't hurt him!
"We'll need to get you bandaged up." Reumiae told the dark skinned boy, nodding to Jiang to go and fetch some bandages. "What exactly were you doing to get met with a dragon?"
Jiang looked a bit worried, one hand stroking over Wynn's hair before he hurried off to do as asked, to fetch the first aid kit so that Reu would be able to fix up whatever wound their son had gotten. He was shaking by the time he got back, seeming to be such an easily stressed out creature, "Here you go." He said, holding up the kit, ears laying back, face worried. That Wynn had to fight a dragon to save Deimos nearly had him falling over from the mere idea of it.
Deimos seemed to come slowly out of his nap when he heard the voices of his parents, starring up at them a little dazed, then tried to sit up at mention of the dragon, "Daddy Reu... Huh?" What had he been doing? He gave a shake of his head, "N-Nothing... Gigan and I were just walking when he stumbled across him." He told his larger parent, sounding worried as well, not as bad as Jiang but still there.
"Mhm. And what were you doing anywhere that there would be dragons? They're rather large creature,s hard to miss." Reumiae commented as he bandaged up Deimos a bit.
"it was a small dragon! My size with a long tail!" Wynn added with a nod, walking over to hug his Mama around the middle since Jiang was all shaky.
"I-I didn't know... it wasn't that big a forest, I didn't know dragons lived there." He told Reu, glancing over toward Wynn for a moment then looked back to his Daddy and nodded, "He wasn't a big dragon, just... scary dragon." Then again everything was scary in his mind so to be labeled scary by Dei didn't really mean all to terribly much. His eyes lowered and he looked a the bandage on his chest, "It is bad?" He asked, worried.
The hug from Wynn seemed greatly appreciated as the Kirin was shaking like a leaf as he thought about what had almost happened without him even being aware. How scary!
"Which? your chest or the fact that you went out somewhere and got captured by a dragon?" Reumiae inquired, raising a brow.
"Does Gigan get extra treats tonight? He was a good kitty - he helped me find Dei." Wynn said proudly, though he noticed the cat was not in sight. Probably chasing Flan - AGAIN!
Deimos looked up at Reu before he got a bit teary eyed, "Ahh... b-both...?" He asked, sounding more then a little uncertain since his Daddy didn't seem to be to happy at all. Not as though him getting stolen by a dragon should make him happy but still.
Jiang glanced around the room, wondering where the cat had gone before shrugging, likely of causing trouble he thought to himself, "I think he deserve it." He murmured in agreement. The cat had seemed to of done well so yes, he should get a treat so long as Jiang didn't have to feed him by hand since the cat was to big and intimidating for that in the Kirin's opinion.
"Well, you're a bit scraped up but it's not life threatening. You are, however, grounded. And so is your brother." Reumiae said sharply, though he wasn't pissed off to the point of yelling. Deimos had done wrong, but not enough to deserve being scolded or yelled at too much.
"Whaaaaaaaa, why'm'I grounded?" the pink boy whined, looking up at Jiang for support. "Mamaaaa, why's he grounding me?"
Deimos looked very confused as he tilted his head to one side, looking at him then over to Momma for help. Why was... he grounded? He didn't understand, shouldn't it be the dragon getting in trouble? He wasn't the one that was going around kidnapping people he thought to himself.
Jiang looked at the boys for a moment then gave each a bit of a smile, "How about you two head up to your rooms, Deimos looks like he needs a nap and I will talk with your Dad." He wanted to get a good idea for why he was grounding them, he would say the knife was reason enough, but it might be more then that so he needed to know the reasoning as well, "I will call you down for dinner when its ready."
Dei gave a slight nod, going to fetch his bag which he saw on the floor before he looked at his family again. He was in trouble but he wasn't to upset... after all at least he was no longer kidnapped he thought as he headed for his room.
Wynn pouted but followed his brother upstairs. "I should go save Flan. Gigan's prolly chasin him again." he laughed as he saw the nutbar run up and grab him, hiding from the cat. "See?"
Reumiae sighed, "Those two need to not grow up so fast." he grumbled, sitting on the couch.
Jiang watched the pair head up to their rooms before he moved to sit down with Reu, curling up next to him, and held onto his arm so he could nuzzle against it. He was glad to be able to rest against him like. What a terrible thing, to think that their sons had run into a dragon. Something that was much worse then playing with a knife though that wasn't a thing he much liked either. He was in a way glad they were grounded, at least this way they wouldn't be able to wander around for at least a few days and he would know they were safe he thought to himself. At least there was a good side to all of this he decided as he hugged Reu.
