Welcome to Gaia! ::

Baihu smiled at his bride to be. "Well you could do more of a lolita wa style." He suggested about the kimono and lace. "Just remember as my wife you become the second leader of the tiger clan. That means I'm the only one who can say no to you." The man told her. It gave her some power at least. "Don't worry too much about the kids, remember that they are all grown. As for being a good wife, all you need is to be a cute one."

It seemed that nothing Ozora said was coming out right with her, but at the same time it didn't seem to matter. She didn't get upset by it. "I'm making rice and sausage, but this is the good kind so it takes a while to cook." He told her as he used a hand to flip them over. "I'm going to summon my children while we wait. "Oh children." There were several puffs before six people came into the room. It was clear who was who in the family by clothing and by the aura they gave off. Ozora let go of Vera and looked at his child. "I would like you to meet your new mother." The man said. The children let out a bow. "This is Chen." He pointed at the oldest. He didn't look much like Ozora. He looked more like his mother with orange hair coming from his head instead of white. "Fu." He came to his oldest daughter. She was a beauty. "Young." Young looked the closest to what his father probably really looked like in human frown over what he was wearing now. "Xuan. Mai." Mai was the one that was part nymph, but she looked more cute then heavenly. "Jun." Jun probably trumped them all in looks. "Please question them as you see fit."

The siblings went in order starting with Chen. "Orange, cherry, summer, structured, My siblings in order would be traditional, scholarly, loner, ditzy, the cat piper." Chen sounded so formal with his speaking manner. But he pictured up right off. "Orange, black tea, topaz, I prefer my home, but where father calls us that is where I am." Chen answered.
Fu went next. "Light blue, spring, azuki beans, traditional, Smart, scholarly, thoughtful, cute, and lazy." It was easy to tell the siblings weren't above taking jabs at each other and point out faults. "Steam bun, black tea, rose quartz, and I prefer the water." The woman answered.
Young was next. "Please to meet you mother." He told her before starting his questions. He was probably the nicest so far. "I like silver shades and the season of autumn. Flavor would have to be bread. I would probably describe myself as a scholar like my siblings said." The man made a small blush at his siblings words. "Chen is scholarly as well and he's traditional and likes order. Fu is traditional, womanly, and graceful. Xuan is the quiet one, he's pretty smart once he opens up. Mai is very much our ditzy little sister. Maybe because you're younger you'll like her more. Then there is Jun. Cats seem to come to him like he was their friend." Young answered. "I would think myself like a fish working hard just to live. My favorite drink is water, stone would have to be sapphire, and I very much like libraries."
Xuan was the next sibling. He looked at the new with in a quit tone before taking in a couple of breaths of air. "Purple." He answered. His father let out a chuckle. "That's fine Xuan." He told his son. The tiger stepped back in respect.
Mai stepped for ward next. "Hi I'm Mai. Lets see. I like pink and light colors, my favorite flavor is cherry, I like spring, and I guess that I'm bubbly. Chen is mister up tight and if Fu could marry him she would be Mrs Uptight. Young is always in the library. I don't think he knows how to stop reading without father. Xuan doesn't talk much so please forgive him and Jun is laidback." Mai was more like a normal teenager. "I like bubble tea for my drinks and pair it with noodles. My stone of choice would be a pearl, and my favorite place to be is at the mall. I'm lucky daddy is loaded."
Jun was the last one to come forward. "Hey. I guess I like light colors too. I think white is the best, but I like green. I think hands down you can never go wrong with cherry in this family. I prefer fall for a season and unlike what my siblings say I'm more thoughtful. Chen is a great older brother, Fu sometimes needs to watch her tongue, Young is really book smart and if I have questions I ask him. Xuan is quiet and Mai is Mai." He answered about his siblings. "If I was a food I guess I'd be a cow. They're so relaxed. For a drink It would be probably apple juice, the stone I would have to say a Lapis Lazuli and when I'm not at home I like to hang out in a grassy field and look up at the clouds."

Fu turned to her older brother and started to mumble somethings. It was clear because of their age they would be going first again. Once they were turn they turned to the younger girl. "We will not call you beyond your formal name and we will not recognize the marriage until you give birth to a sibling." Fu told Vera. Young smiled and scratched hi head. It was clear that they were very traditional and from back when a child could make or break a deal. Young looked at the woman. "I agree that I wouldn't be able to call you beyond a formal title, but I can help with the wedding as needed." He told her. Xuan stayed quiet as Mai began to talk. "I'll call you buy your first name. We can even plan the wedding as a team and go shopping for the best wedding dress in the world." She answered. Jun smile. "I'll say your name too, but it may be in a more formal tone. Just a little more respectful. Please use me where it is needed."

With a puff they were all gone like a bat out of hell. They didn't really care to see if their father wanted something. They were like teenagers in that way. Baihu smiled and chuckle. "Their names will do." He told his bride. He turned a bit and started to serve the rice and sausage. He then served up two cups of orange juice and set the meal down on the table. "Lets eat breakfast. So what do you think of them?" He asked wondering what she was thinking. He was sure that she found the oldest two as traditional.

Baihu had started to eat his food while she talked about the kids. Nothing about them surprised him any more. He started to drink down his orange juice when his bride started to talk about a baby. He started to cough it up. "Why are you worrying about that. You don't need to have a kid to make me happy." He told her. He wasn't even sure if he wanted one or liked Vera enough to be take her. Not that the girl wasn't going on him. "I'm sure the kids needed to get stuff done. I don't know what I called them from. They could have been in the middle of something." He told her. He wasn't too upset by their quick disappearance. "Anyways most Hybrids are a real mix. Chen can become a tiger, but he doesn't work with wind as well as he does fire. If I remember correctly the Vice Principals daughter is half elf. She's able to have a child in the same amount of time for a normal human, but her child will end up being only a quarter human and the rest elf. I think her husband is full elf."

"Being half-breeds doesn't bother me at all. My children are half, well I guess Chen isn't really, I don't love them any less. It's becoming more and more common for children to be of mix race. If I remember all the the vice principal's children are half, and his nieces and nephew. He can't stop talking about his wife's belly in staff meetings. She going to give birth soon. It's kind of funny. I guess I was the same way with my children. Let's have children when we're ready. I don't want to rush anything." Baihu told her. It didn't seem like anything he did was right. She also ways seemed down and his words didn't cheer her up.

Baihu stood with his finished plate and walked over to the sink. He made sure to give Vera a good look eye to eye so that she knew that she and he was there. "I was told once that my emotions were wrong by your father. I had always questioned everything because I had nothing more then my curious nature. I don't see emotions as wrong." He told her. He wanted her to speak her mind and have a say in what happened. Marriage was about finding a middle ground and not a fight. That was what was wrong with most young people these days. "I think your father highly prizes you. He just hates me. He wanted for me to marry a daughter who could stand up to me and annoy me, but one thing he didn't count on was me saying with pride that I would take her as my wife. I don't believe in love at first sight. That's only lust. I don't want to lust for a woman I want to feed her heart, soul, and mind, but that takes time." He told her. Baihu saw the half elf as his equal. Maybe not in status, but as a being they were equals. "I lost the bet, I'll marry and prize my wife." He told her. "I'd love to met your roommate. I think it's important to have friends."
