Welcome to Gaia! ::

Melek looked out side again and then back at the mess he'd made. He bit his lip as he tought about what he should do, he nodded his head. " Okay...but we..cant go far." he said though he itched to be outside...but what if Darius returned and he was not here. And these rodents what if they ate his lunch? That made him mad it was his lunch. He picked ever thing up and put them into his bag zipping it up.

Melek shivered and followed him. He looked across the road and smiled at the trees. " There are so many." He said happily Darius now forgotten as he hurried across the street not caring about the cars... He should care since he was almost hit by one as curled up as the car went went over him, he giggled how the car swerved as to not hit him.

By the time he got to the other side he was laughing maddly.

Melek giggled as he watched him he wished he could do that but he couldn't byt then he still hadn't figure out everything he could do...or anything really. He pointed to the tree and started to walk across the side walk, he hoped he'd have one of his powers soon. "Trees!" he stated happily as they got closer to them.

Melek smiled. " yes." He walked to the side and touched it Audric was right the spot on the tree he touched formed moss it was dark green and full of life. " Pretty."thought the trees would soon be leaving all there leaves and jack frost would come, thinking about that Mel laughed Audric was like jack frost he pointed and smiled. " Jack frost and Audric are same."

Dark was nervous about taking Azerim out in the world. He was so busy, but always put Azerim before the rest. He had been having violent mood swings lately, and wondered if they had effected Azerim. Ever since Azerim came out of his box, he was unable to speak. Dark thought of him as a small, small child. Azerim made the cute faces and loved to explore and everything, but he was unable to speak or even talk somewhat. Dark was worried, and he decided to go to the only place that would help them both.

He put Azerim in his box, and hurried on over to the store. Upon entering, the numerous rabbits scurried away. Dark ran overto the counter,and put Azerim down. "Hello...?" Dark questioned. No one is here... he thought. Dark opened the box carefully and said, "Azerim, I don't know if anyones here, IF you can understand me, can you pleeeeease stay here and wait? I'm going to look upstairs." Dark wandered off with a worried look on his face.

Azerim laughed his cute laugh, and banged his hand on the box untill it tipped over. He rolled out like a bouncy ball and layed on the warm wood counter giggling to himself.

Melek smiled. " Jack frost makes snow come and freeze things like you do." He bent down and picked up a piece of frozen grass. " See you help bring new life." He looked around again and droped the piece of grass taking Audric's hand. " We go back now?" He asked un sure he didn't want Darius to worry if he came back and he wasn't there.

Audric looked dubious. "How does death bring new life?" He asked as the grass snapped free of the blade and stood winking in the light. At least this Jack Frost person was not spoken of with ill regard. He might try to encounter this enigmatic snow bringer sometime...yes, maybe he could tell the young oni of this power of ice.

Audric jumped when Melek took his hand unabashedly, curling wooden fingers around his icy ones. Melek's dark hands were warm, earthen, alive. Suprised blue eyes searched Melek's for a while, trying to determine his intent. Sadly, oni were not the most adept at reading other oni's thoughts.
"Sure." He said, leading the other across the street, thankfully without any more run ins with massive automobiles.

Pushing open the door, Audric peered around, looking for any sign of the human he saw. Instead, a procession of baby rabbits were sitting in a semi circle around a legnth of counter. Audric couldn't see up that high, but the high pitched babbles of a baby resounded down to him, causing him to c**k his head to the side, large ears twitching. What...?

The voice calling to Teak was foreign and unknown. Snapping to attention, dark blue eyes scanned Dark for any sign of a threat. Confusion seeped across his features as Teak quickly saved and exited the program he was working on. Standing to his full height, Teak easily towered over most people, his being well over six feet in height, excluding his ears.
"Yes...Can I help you?" He asked somewhat begrudgingly, uneasy that Dark had ventured upstairs out of the shopfront, but then again, that was just the way the rabbit was, suspicious and distrustful. Turning up his nose, Teak thought Fresca would not approve of his behaviour, and relaxed somewhat, letting one heavily pierced ear drift to the side.
"I'm sorry...You caught me at a...stressful moment, forgive my tone." He apologized at legnth.

"Something is wrong with him?" Teak asked, suddenly concerned. While the Oni were not his specialty, he knew a fair bit about them that just came from helping run the shop. Dusting off his pants, which was useless considering the state they were already in, the blonde furred rabbit strode past Dark, decending into the shop in three jumps, landing suprisingly quietly on the bottom. Twenty five pairs of eyes turned to him as the baby rabbits peeked at their caretaker, squeaking quietly- they knew they were being naughty, running about downstairs.
"Ey, Fresca! I found the rest of the litter!" Teak called upstairs.

Behind Dark, a light brown rabbit with chin legnth wavy brown hair stepped out, dressed in a simple wine colored silk shirt and black jeans, kept in much better condition than Teak's own getup. Much smaller than the other, Fresca was the maternal one, chiding and scolding as opposed to just backhanding, as was Teak's response to most sass. Decending in a much more sensible manner, the baby rabbits scattered as Fresca began dashing around, gathering the squirming, wriggling masses in his arms.
"Sorry!" He called to dark as he walked back upstairs with an armload of fur.

Teak peered around, spotting the overturned box quickly. But...Where was the oni? Walking around the counter, he spotted Azerim, the wee oni, peeking over the side.
Audric spotted the tall blonde ears and broke into a massive smile.
"Tee!" He cried, causing the dark blue eyes to shift to way down on the floor, where the two oni were standing hand and hand. Reaching down, he gathered the two of them and deposited them on the counter besides Azerim. Teak looked him over quickly.
"What's wrong with him...?" Teak queried to the only human in the room.
