"Okay, good. I don't like being short of breath." He nodded a little, seeming satisfied with her response. Going down stairs didn't really seem to bother him, although he obviously lacked coordination in his movements. Still as awkward as ever... "What is my new Father like?"

XXAs they made their way down the stairs, Moira made a mental note to help the boy with his coordination and hopefully work on his basic stamina so he wouldn't be worn out by simple tasks or walking for awhile. When the question was asked, she looked down at him before making a rather happy little giggle sound as they continued to walk off. Looking back up, Moira's smile widened, "He's an amazing man, he's got his quirks like we all do, but he saved me from a dark time awhile back. He's tall, dark and handsome - but don't let his looks scare you - he's an absolute sweetheart and I'm sure it won't take long at all for him to love you.".

Tobias faltered a little. "He doesn't know that I'm coming? What if he doesn't love me?" His face contorted with worry. He wasn't really sure why it scared him so much, but the idea of not having that love was terrifying.

XXMoira stopped and knelt down again, this time placing both of her hands on his shoulders, "He'll love you, I promise. Things might be a little awkward at first, but he will love you." She said softly, wanting to let Tobias know that this family was going to be accepting of him so he didn't need to worry.

"Why doesn't he know that I'm coming?" Tobias seemed mildly comforted by her words, but still looked fairly worried. "Does he even want a kid?"

XXShe sighed softly, "He doesn't know you're coming home with me because when I got the letter to come here today it was vague - vague enough that I wasn't aware that I was adopting you myself. I'm happy that Elder Avon thought that Vic and I would be suitable parents for you and he does want a kid - we even said that we wanted to adopt before having our own if we ever do. We want to help kids like you, Tobias, have families so they're not stuck in the Academy without anyone to rely on." Moiras emotions could be felt in her words, words that were coming from someone who had so desperately wanted parents like those Vic had, like those that everyone else she met had. She wanted to make sure no Meta had to live a life like she did - alone and scared. If she could have helped things get smoothed out before things boiled over with Tobias and his previous parents she would have done it, but she knew that there was nothing she could do about it now.

Tobias stared at her for awhile, letting the words sink in. After a few moments he relaxed a little. "You love me, right?" He reached up to hold onto her arms, frowning a little. "Even though you didn't know you were going to get me... right?"

XXMoira pulled the boy into a hug, a nice warm hug and placing one hand on the back of his head, "Of course. Of course I do, what parent would I be if I didn't love my child?" She asked softly, already knowing the answer to that herself.

He hugged her back in a somewhat loose way. "Okay. Good. I don't want to be unloved." He sighed again, though this time it was more of a relieved sigh than anything else. "How much further?"

XXLetting him go, she stood back up, "It's just over there." Moira said as she pointed at the cozy fairy-tale looking house that looked like it belonged in a book and not so close to the buildings of the Academy. But it was that style that drew her to it - something small and cozy, something that had the quaint smells and noises of a home with people instead of a big, damp, cold, empty mansion.

"Oh... its nice." He wandered a bit closer to the house, seemingly a bit apprehensive about going in without her going first. His tail wagged side to side a little before wrapping itself around one of his legs

All the short time that Moira had been away Vic had stayed home alone. It had been some time since he had had time to himself and it made him realize just how boring it was that way. Most of his time alone had been spent either playing guitar or finding something else to do. Eventually the adult had decided on going outside thinking that it wouldn't be as boring as being inside. Well he was wrong. Just like being inside he was bored out of his mind. All he had done was flown around, played his guitar at a public place, and went to a store to get snacks before going home. God he hoped that Moira was home. Vic didn't know how long he could deal with his boredom though he could try playing those online games his brother had told him about.
While going back home he had decided to walk rather than fly all the while he nibbled on a cookie. It was rather a nice neighborhood that they had picked. It was mostly Moira who had done the looking around along with planning just like the wedding and good thing. If it had been left to Vic well it wouldn't have been all that good at all, thank god. Least he could help with money that he had earned from working with his fathers.
As he was arriving closer to their home he could see Moira from a distance and began to wave but as he did he spotted someone else with her. It made him stop his waving as he tilted his head wondering if Moira had told him that she was bring someone over. Of course he couldn't recall it so a puzzled look stayed on the Vic's face as he stood in front of their house.

XXSeeing Vic fly down and land in front of their house, she grinned and walked over to him after gently ruffling Tobias' hair. Pulling the older Incubus into a hug, squeezing him tight, she leaned in to whisper to him, "I got a letter the other day from Elder Avon - I couldn't tell you about it because it was too vague. He wanted us to adopt Tobias and I said that we would." she said quietly to him before kissing him on the cheek and turning back to the boy, "Don't be shy.".

Tobi turned to see Vic flying down... and the confused look on his face. The other Meta seemed really big, and... not very friendly. Moira seemed so sure that he was nice though, so he shuffled around to face Vic, all three eyes wide as saucers.
"Hi...
