Remi caught his shirt, putting it back on and making himself look presentable again, resisting the urge to say 'Will do, Frank.' for Alice's sake.
"Right-o, got it, no wars. I'll definitely check the lethal firearms at the door." he told her, dusting off the violin and flashing a grin. Remi bounced back quickly. It was hard to keep him down unless he was physically pinned to the floor. Even then, he probably wouldn't be above making remarks about the lovely ceiling.
His ears perked as another voice came into earshot, and he swiveled around to see the most colourful cat he had ever laid eyes upon. "The culprit would be me." Saluting her casually, he held out a hand, adding, "I'm Remi, adventurer and violinist extraordinaire, perhaps you've heard of me? I'm sort of like a mix between Indiana Jones, Bach, and Tintin, although it seems like my reputation hasn't preceded me into this particular neck of the woods yet. I'm a new old teacher here at this school, and I enjoy orange soda. And you are...?" He trailed off with an absentminded grin, smoothing his blonde hair.
Remi was incorrigible.

Dhiren's eyes narrowed at Remi's defensive rant, and his fur bristled at how naive the man was for his age. He had wanted to interject and set the other tom straight, but that was about the time his mate shoved him off and moved in herself. Gritting his teeth as she ignored his warning, the Somali tom had to bite down on his tongue to keep from interrupting and making his request for her to calm down a little more insistent. Flipping his ears back and switching his tail a few times, he simply let her argue with the blonde Remi, and watched passively as Tempo nearly lost it on him as well. Of course, Dhiren was most concerned about the developing litter in his mate's stomach, and the words of caution she had relayed to him before echoed in his mind. When she finally seemed to let it go and forgive the man, Dhiren also let go of anything he had wanted to say; if for nothing else, it would help to refrain from giving Alice anything else to get worked up about.
And that was about the time that one of the University members wandered up. Having announced that she was ready to begin the meeting she had called Tempo out there for, Dhiren stepped in for her and placed a hand on Remi's shoulder. "The girl's name is Gwin. She's a visual arts instructor here." He explained in a gruff tone, his eyes glancing over to the colorful cat, "You'll have plenty of time to get to know her later, but I think it'd be best if you came and sat in on this meeting. Even if you no longer have a 'positon of power,' it'll be a good chance to bring you up to speed." Flicking his tail, the orange tom then removed his hand and turned to follow Alice and Tempo.

Nyx flicked her tail gently as she wandered around the university. The albino was clad in her normal dancing leotard with a little cardigan over it to show atleast some decency. Out in the normal world she would probably be stared at for dressing as she did but here in the university no one even gave her a second glance and it was fantastic. She was taking a break from her serious dancing routine she was currently going through but she couldn't help but be so happy with her progress since she had entered the university. She had really come on in her dancing in leaps and bounds (literaly) and had even gotten a new boyfriend. All together her life had really come on for the better.
She walked along, happily taking in the scenery when she heard a commotion coming from infront of her. She continued to walk, picking up the pace and finding the source of all the noise. She walked over to Alice with a concerned look on her face. "What's going on?" she asked, her soft voice filled with concern.

Alice lead the others saying nothing, so she had more then likely went about the situation all wrong, she shrugged it off, if she let herself get worked up over all of this she would end up hurting the babies, and she didn't want to do that. Though Alice put on a defensive tough exterior, her interior was tearing itself up over the idea of a possible still born litter. With a sigh she reached behind her, with both hands, for either male in her life. Dhiren and Tempo, the only ones she trusted enough to appear weak around. Her gaze shifted to the peach colored girl in front of her and gave a meek smile.
"nothing out of the ordinary dear,just settling a dispute."
The rainbow haired female pouted, not able to introduce herself before Dhiren had jumped in. She sighed and ran a hand through her hair. giving a dismissive shrug. She placed her hand in his and gave a strong shake before slipping it through his arm like a lady walking with a gentlemen.
"Alice is just a bit touchy right now, she was hurt in that whole charade im sure you learned about first off, these babies may be her only chance at a family. Dhiren... well Dhiren will always be the hermit cat." Gwin lead him toward the main base at the edge of the territory. The old art building. They were in desperate need for a larger meeting ground, so Alice had moved them, humans pretty much avoided the building like the plague, and besides it was warm.

Remi took Gwin's hand gladly, recognizing that she could be an ally, or at least someone who might think that attempting to cause him grievous bodily harm might not be the most productive way to spend an afternoon. This immediately qualified her as his favourite, or at least his favourite so far. "Touchy, gotcha." he said amiably, flashing her a grin.
"Really?" He frowned after Alice. Remi was not familiar with the concept of kids. He knew, in a vague way, that they existed, but he wasn't sure why anyone would want them. They got in the way of adventuring, and they were really terrible at the violin. However, if Alice wanted them and she couldn't get them, that hardly seemed fair. "That's a bummer. Hope these work out for her then, if that's how she rolls."
As for Dhiren, he snerked. "That's brilliant! He definitely seems to have a pointy shell."
They stepped into the building and Remi looked around. "Forgot how nice this place was." he said nonchalantly. "Adventuring can be chilly sometimes, you know? Of course you do!"

Tempo...was silent. He stayed at Alice's side, even as Gwin and Nyx came up, and just started at them, really having nothing to say, or any want to say anything.
So, when they headed up towards the main building for the meeting, he trailed behind to look around, not wanting to eye Remi mainly...or he feared he might get angry again.
Instead he contented himself with plans of after the meeting, just wanting to get done as soon as possible so he could get back home to his family. Too much stress right now was driving him up a wall. The forest cat kept his ears drawn back, tail flicking in an irritated manner while they stepped inside, somewhat irked at this 'Gwin' person now for up and taking Remi out of his argument. Ridiculous. Kids needed to learn to take care of themselves.

Dhiren's fur bristled a little when not only did Gwin decide she was coming along, but Nyx also moved up to join them. Sticking close behind his mate, the tom felt her hand close around his and held onto it, giving his tail a flick and hoping they would get this meeting over with already so that he wouldn't have to deal with Remi any longer. The orange cat was still trying to figure out how someone like Alice ever got along with the guy, but then again, he reasoned, she has been acting more edgy since discovering she was pregnant. With a quiet 'Hn..' he kept his mouth shut for the time being and let her deal with it. It was obvious to him that she didn't want him interfering in what she felt was her job anyway.

Alice felt the tension coming off of Tempo and linked her other arm (the one not preoccupied by Dhiren) through his, resting her head on his shoulder. "im so sorry about this." she whispered, it really wasn't something Alice wanted to show around Tempo, her uncertainness as a leader. It was tough sometimes ya know...
and Remi disappearing for so long... was bullshit. She lead them and the others through the university until they got to the old arts department, abandoned, covered in ivy and absolutely gorgeous. The door opened with a creak, but easily enough revealing toppled desks and total mess... like something had come into the room and everyone left in a hurry. Alice had made a point not cleaning up the foyer, because of the random stray human on Halloween and such, coming in on dares. They typical. But once you got to the old store room and up the stairs, the place was elegant and spotless.
... very Alice.
A gleaming table awaited them, oval in shape, wincing inwardly Alice gestured to all the open seats [silently hoping more would show up... they needed everyone here for their opinions.] She lead tempo and Dhiren to one end, sitting down at the point and gesturing to either seat next to her, and looking at the other cats expectantly.
Gwin laughed, tugging Remi along by the arm -leading rather then being lead like the typical woman taking someone's arm- "of course I do, thats the only way to live." She was like a -less- annoying version of Remi, and younger... but not by much. Her talents leaned toward visual rather then performing arts, but other then that... it was kind of interesting to say the least. At the sight of the room Gwin raised her eyebrow in approval and lead Remi to the other end of the table -awayyyy- from Tempo and smiled expectantly, sitting on the table herself and ignoring the comfortable enough chairs.
"so whats the hurry?"

Tempo had been an automatic leader of his territory. It started off with him, HeeChul, SiWon and Ririka...and grew rabidly after they settled.
So he knew the hardships of being a leader. He understood the woman's problem, her stresses and fears when it came to Remi coming back so suddenly--he really was a jackass--so he held nothing against her. Glancing down to the woman before looking over at Dhiren, he patting her hand lightly with his own, "Dont worry about it. I've dealt with more immaturity over the years," he was mated to JiYong..who could be very immature if he wanted to be.
Still standing when they got inside, despite being shown their seats, he eyed the others who followed...Nyx he'd never seen before he didn't believe, nor had he met Gwin, who he was growing irritated at by the second.
Really, Tempo had always been laid back and uncaring about people and their maturity level before he got together with JiYong and had their children...his experiences in the past few months had changed everything for him, which wasn't really good...but it made him an adult. He just hoped those two would learn that being an adult was important during these times.

Remi settled down at the table, all smiles again. Hard to tell he had anything but a pleasant welcome, nothing phased him much, and if it did, it didn't last for more than a moment.
There was still the matter of the souvenir he had brought back, but after all was said and done, he felt that it wasn't the right time. Anyway, Tempo looked pretty mad. It took more than a grim face and the ability to haul off on anyone annoying to be mature, but Remi was sure he'd grow up eventually.
He flashed Gwin a smile, but didn't reply as they sat down. He had settled his business here, and now it was time to see just what Alice wanted.

Dhiren followed his mate quietly and took the seat to her left as she sought to begin the meeting. He glanced down the length of the table, observing Remi and his new found friend without any amusement. After a moment, his amber gaze relocated to Alice and the male chuffed quietly, "Who else are we expecting?" Hopefully everyone would show up so they could get this going. He was just as anxious as Tempo for the meeting to be done with so they could all go their separate ways, more so that he wouldn't have to deal with the other members of the territory. Dhiren was still very much unused to living in a territory with other cats, and so his fur constantly tingled with unease.

Alice sighed, shaking her head. "I wasn't really expecting anyone... I was going to have us spread word boy mouth." Lightly she tapped the table, her gaze meeting her eyes in the gleaming wood. "I have talked to a student, one of your sons." she nodded to Tempo, before adverting her eyes again. "I want to start a program here, for the victims of the facilities wrongs, along the lines of physical therapy using art."
Yep, just get it out there and hope they don't look at you like an idiot. Alice looked at Gwin for help, considering the female had been there when they had discussed this with the non disclosed student. "I will need extra teachers for this of course, which is why you are here... Gwin has already accepted, Tempo ... I may need help with the dance students, we are popular for that department, Dhiren... marshal arts and defense studies... a few helping hands... its all we need. Everything else is already here."
Gwin watched everyone with wide eyes, she had been oblivious before this. OF COURSE this is what Alice was going to do... she giggled and slid into a seat, waiting for the reactions of the other 'teachers'.

As his mate began speaking, Dhiren perked his ears forward with interest. Obviously, this was the first he had heard about the special program for the facility victims. His ears twitched a bit when his 'job' was identified, and he sighed inwardly. It had been some time since she first suggested he give fighting lessons, and the tom had learned very little in self defense since then. With a hint of sheepish guilt in his gaze, he peered over at Tempo, still convinced the other tom would be better-suited for the job. Quietly, he adverted his gaze to catch the other cats' reactions to the proposal. He resolved himself to find a way to oblige his mate's request, but he wondered if everyone else would be so compliant.
