Kyrie smiled at her friend's replies and then laughed a bit as she poked at her beak.
"Yes. We were," she replied with amusement and she turned away from the dark cloths she had been admiring. She was very keen to find something light now that the idea had been put into her head. Without thinking twice about what she was doing, she reached out to link her arm around Nuhava's as if she were one of her siblings as they began to walk together. Inside her head, her mind was racing a million miles a minute, flitting between subjects until it settled on one in particular.
"I think it would be fun to go on a journey," she mused. "I went on one once with my mother and brother. We found a tomb of a king and all of his riches, a trapped djinn included," she smiled and let her eyes roam over the market stalls. "My dad leaves often, though mostly because he has to. I think I'd like to go too... spread my wings, so to speak," she smirked a bit and lifted her free feathered arm to demonstrate.

The arm linking made her laugh in merriment, and she simply followed along. This was, indeed, quite fun, she could not say otherwise.
"My, that sounds like quite an endeavor. What about your brother, did he grow as well ?" She asked, curious.
"Maybe he would take you with him if you asked ?" Now that she was older... Well, at least it was possible that Ankou might be more open to the idea.

Kyrie's smile turned slightly wistful and she shook her head no.
"Neither my brother or my sister have grown yet. It was a little fun to be special at first, but I miss them." It was a funny thing to admit. She certainly still spent a lot of time with them and she still played with them frequently, but it felt different somehow. "I hope that they grow soon. Then we could go off together. I could take them now, but I think it would be harder. And I should ask him. I just haven't had a chance to," she smiled warmly again.

"They'll catch up sooner than later, im sure." Nuhava nodded. Growing up was what children did, after all. And one could only wonder what kind of trouble they would get into once that happened !
"Hm, you could still take them around here, maybe. Picnics are fun and it should make everyone happy." She had not met either of Kyrie's siblings, only her parents.

"I really hope so. They really are my best friends," Kyrie smiled with a bit of hope coloring her voice. If the three of them were grown, then nothing could stop them from making their way in the world together. Nuhava's suggestion claimed her attention once more and she looked up at her.
"That is a brilliant idea. You know... I've thought about doing something silly with them. It would be fun to build a treehouse with them. Something that could be ours. Really and truly ours. Though I might have to speak to my Uncle Glyph about that. Have you met him?" she asked.

"That's what siblings are there for." Nuhava nodded. "They'll drive you crazy, but they will be the first to come barreling if you ever need any help. I am blessed with two sisters, in this life. Valor and Mystery." That it was not blood that held her to them mattered little. It was a nice balance - one to do stupid things with, and one who would hopefully stop her from doing anything too stupid.
"Oh, that would be a really fun idea !" Nuhava agreed. "No, I can't say I have met him. What is he like ?"

"Oh... well... it has been a long time since I saw him last, but he is the god of Forest. He is suuuuuper tall and leafy and very kind. He takes good care of the trees and animals of his forests," Kyrie replied. "He let me and my sister climb on him. It was a lot of fun," she grinned. "My cousin is very good friends with Mystery," she smirked lightly and glanced back out over the market. Though now that she thought about it, she was pretty sure that had been a male Mystery. "They are not really your sisters, are they?"

Forest, hn ? Not really something she could truly understand, no, but she couldn't argue against having a viable ecosystem to live in, and forests were part of that.
She didn't even need to ask who was her cousin at this point. "Oh, honey darling, I think he blazed past friendly with both of them a long time ago." She laughed merrily. It was sweet to see all thrre of them together, she had to admit. What mattered to her was that they were happy.
"No, not in the sense of how you and your siblings are related." She admitted. "But the family you make yourself is just as important as the one you were born inside of." And sometimes that was all one had.
"I had... a brother, before the fading. The other Strength. We were two very different things, but I remember thinking fondly of him." As much as she could have back then, anyway. "I don't... remember much, honestly. Just feelings. Impressions. I hope he'll come back someday."
She could only hope to have the chance to get to know her literal other half all over again.

Kyrie smirked at Nuhava's amusement. She had known that, of course. Well, part of it at least. She had not realized that he was with both Mysteries, but she very much lacked the ability to express such things. Friendships and family relationships were all she knew.
As she went on, Kyrie listened and tried to puzzle that out. She had heard that her mother had a brother through her own brother. She knew that Auntie Val was the sister to her Uncle Nergal.
"I wonder why my brother is not the same as either Caelia or I. He is completely different and we are from him. But there are others like you who have brothers and sisters of the same domain," she mused and paused to look at some golden fabric. Now -that- was pretty.

"Well, there are two who made the three of you." Nuhava ventured her guess. "Your brother is... Funeral, right ? He would take from your father more, like Kios, I assume, takes from his own father." Not that she had ever met him, only the lady herself, and it seemed almost taboo to discuss that matter, so she had never really asked.
One day she would doubtless need to take the matter of her own champions in her own hands, so she would see then if the elusive lord ever decided to show himself. That could be an... interesting challenge, if Nergal was as the rumors said.
"And your sister would take from your mother. Divination, but a different method of doing it. And you... Well, you are kind of both of them at once. Crows to lead the souls of the departed. Crows in counting rhymes. We were all born, too, once upon a time... But as the universe created itself, per-se, maybe we don't all have parents. Maybe Harmodius just created something, or there was a need, and so the gods who fulfilled that need were created. I honestly can't remember if I had a mother, or a father. I remember my brother, and I remember being close to Lan." She shook her head. "So maybe it's all just social conventions we created for ourselves. Maybe myself and my brother, we were born of different parents, to fulfill different needs, but at the very core of our beings, we were the same thing, so we were drawn to each other. I honestly don't remember."
And Nuhava finally noticed she had gone on quite the tangent, as she tended to do. "That's very lovely." Strength admitted, looking at the fabric Kyrie was touching. "That would look splendid on you."

Kyrie looked back up to her friend and followed her through her tangent. It all made perfect sense really, and she secretly liked that she was the blend between her siblings. It made her feel close to both of them and to both of her parents as well. And everything she said about the other gods, well, that made sense to her as well. Things were seldom black and white within their world.
"I don't think it has to be very lonely. In the end, we all have each other, right? We have our domains, but all of our domains are linked in some way. So we all have each other," she suggested with a smile. She looked back to the fabric at her compliment and she unhooked their arms to pick it up and hold it up against herself. "Do you really think so?"

Nuhava smiled at what Kyrie said. The young crow was indeed quite wise. "Yes, we all work together, even the opposite. So we are all in this together in some way."
"And yes, I really do think so. What do you like to wear the most, Kyrie ? We can get something very nice made for you from this." She nodded. "And what did you think of this one ?" She gestured toward a bolt of light blue cloth. "It would make a nice trim, I think."

Kyrie looked down at the fabric against her arm and decided she liked it quite a bit. It shimmered softly in the light and it was not gaudy like some fabrics could be. She may like shiny things, but she did have standards after all. Her question proved to be an interesting one. She thought about it for a moment, but was distracted by her next suggestion.
"Oh! I do like that. They would work well together," she smiled and held the gold fabric against the blue. "I'm not really sure what I would like. I like how my mother's dress is light and flowy but.... it feels restricting somehow. I don't like all of this," she declared and tugged at the top of the dress and the light sleeves. "I like feeling the sun on my skin." She paused a moment and then smirked a bit as she looked up at Nuhava. "To be perfectly honest, I don't much care for clothes at all, other than for showing off."

"Hmmm... Beside you have that feathered crest to hide things up in there." Honestly, Nuhava wasn't exactly the most modest of the reborn, though she quite liked clothing in general. It was part old habit and part vanity. "So maybe a loincloth of sort ?"
At her last comment, Nuhava smirked. "Sometimes the best use for clothing is to make someone wonder what's hiding under it, my dear."

Hmm, a loincloth. That would be nice and simple. She would be able to move freely in something like that and she would not have to wait long for it to be completed, even with a little extra flair like pale blue trimming. Glancing down at her her chest, she smirked slightly. In her opinion, her new growths were more of a hassle than anything, but she did have a point. For modesty's sake, her feathers did seem to take care of covering them up rather nicely. Her next words, however, quickly piqued her curiosity.
"What do you mean?" she asked. She had never really thought about what was underneath anyone's clothes before. She was much more interested in what it was they were wearing, particularly if it were interesting.
