Welcome to Gaia! ::

"W-Wait... they know things are... what? Are they going to stop us? Abie... what should we do?" He asked in a hushed tone, now worried about the both of them, their babies, Issaly, and Aqio. There was so much to worry about if the guild was going to get involved, wasn't there? Did they not want them to leave Oba? It was something that had Incanthis shaking just a bit as they headed inside, glad to be behind the locked doors though he wondered if that would help if it came to the guild.

Various orders were given out to the well trained snaptrotters before Abie said that he was going to do a patrol. It was something that had him nodding, though he didn't care for the idea of being alone. What if that was what the guild people wanted? Shaking his head to try to clear his now incredibly nervous thoughts he put one hand on Junior as Bulk lead the way back to where the other whelps were waiting for him in the courtyard. He'd check on the babies, make sure they were all safe and happy, before he then let the big guys patrol around the courtyard just to be safe. Better that they knew the place was empty he thought to himself.

As they reached the courtyard he peeked into the area first, hearing a lot of chirping and huffing from the babies that knew he was back. He gave a bit of a smile, glad that they were all alright. Once he knew that he let the big snaptrotters into the area first to let them sniff around, before he then followed suit. He carefully set the little ghost at his feet, giving him a pat on the head, before he watched the big guys as they patrolled, their eyes looking more narrowed and serious at the moment. He found himself watching them closely, only to get startled when two voices started to 'argue' at his feet.

Glancing down he found himself starring at the 'ghost' and the darkly colored whelp as the two seemed to get into it. At least they weren't biting but they were in a seemingly heated discussion, something that had Incanthis sighing a bit, "Be nice you two."

Incanthis gave a bit of a squeak when Abie spoke up, having been so caught up in watching the two whelps that were at his feet, and didn't hear him coming. Turning toward Abie he watched him as he came in, smiling because the little ebony whelp seemed to perk up instantly. The argument was over now that Abie had arrived it would see. Just in time too since the little blind baby seemed to be wanting the ebony guardian back.

He turned to look in that direction, watching as Abie picked the blind baby up, working on soothing him. As he did so he started to ask Incanthis about names and what he was planning on calling the little 'ghost' which had him nodding, "I was thinking of calling him Achak, a word that means spirit." He got a thoughtful look on his face, blinked a couple times, before he gave another squeak, "Ah! Where is the little daredevil at?" The little one with the bum leg seemed to be way too good at just... vanishing! Something that had him on edge for a moment.

Scanning the area he tried to figure where he was... then sighed when he spotted the little one over with Junior, seemingly trying to keep up with the much bigger male despite his leg. Giving a sigh Incanthis said, "He really does get along too well for the good of my heart." He said, resting a hand against his chest.

Junior seemed to freeze in place as Abie told him about the tag-a-long, cocking his head slightly to the side, before giving a little questioning hiss. That sound caused the head of the baby with the bad leg to pop out from under Junior, looking up at its elder, before skittering along ahead a little. Something that caused Junior to shuffle along after the little one who was seemingly trying to take charge.

Incanthis gave a little sighing sound, shaking his head, "Junior! Be careful with him!" He called out before turning to look over at Abie, starring at him, "Huh?" What did he mean? Ah! The love thing? That had caught him a little off guard given the situation going on. It was a little surprising to be sure but not a bad thing. Giving Abie a smile he said, "I know that you meant it, Abie, I believe you! Given what was going on I just... got side tracked."

Lifting a hand he was about to ruffle his hair when the other moved away from him. A moment later Abie was scrubbing his face off, removing the make up that he wore, something that confused him a little. A moment later though it was made clear to him what he was doing, "Abie... you should know that your scars wouldn't chase me off." He told him, shifting in place a moment, looking almost embarrassed before he leaned into to press a kiss to each of the scars that marked Abie's face. As he drew back he clasped his hands together against his chest, cheeks coloring, eyes on the ground, "I... I know I am... bad a reacting to such things and I am sorry if I've hurt you through inaction..."

Incanthis gave a bit of a jolt as Abie pressed a kiss to the top edge of the brand that was on the back of his shoulder. As he did so it made Abie's cheek color a bit, "Ahh... Umm... of course, Abie." It seemed that his giving Abie's scars a kiss was something that he Matorian appreciated. The kiss to his brand, even just the edge of it, was a bit of a surprise. He hadn't really expected that in exchange. Especially since just earlier the brand seemed to be burning with pain again but now... now it seemed to have been soothed as though cool water had been running over it.

"Ahh... well, we can always leave under the cover of night if you prefer?" Would that be better? Would it allow them to move with less worry? Or would it be more dangerous everything considered? He wasn't sure himself and felt that maybe they should get it all planned out carefully. Especially if Abie's former master was kicking up a fuss that could cause problems for their trip out of Oba.

At the mention of relaxing and letting the whelps interact before they decided to leave he nodded, "I also have Junior's old harness and leash if Achak decides that he doesn't want to play nice." Something he was a little worried about since the little 'ghost' was currently standing between Incan's feet, hissing and huffing at those that got too close. He obviously needed time and it was best not to push him too much, not when he'd had a long day.

Incanthis lifted a hand to his mouth, covering a little laugh as the little blue, blind baby set to squeaking up a happy storm as Abie picked him up. It was something that warmed his heart. That the little one didn't seem to be too impaired by his eyes was a good thing, it meant that he was happy despite it.

He opened his mouth, about to say something, when the little ebony baby popped up again. He was hiding under Lithe things time, which had him shaking his head, "It seems that they have both found a place to hide out so that they can complain at each other from safety." Silly little babies he thought to himself before he squatted down, reaching to scratch Achak gently on the snout, then did the same thing to the little baby hiding under Lithe. With that done he lifted a hand to scratch Lithe under the chin, "You do good work keeping everyone in line." He praised the more agile snaptrotter.

"It seems our children can be a bit naughty at times but at least their older siblings are doing their best." Even Junior who preferred to stay at Incan's side at all times was presently keeping an eye on one of the babies. It was something that warmed his heart and allowed him forget his worries for a time.

"Do be careful with them both, Lithe." Incanthis said as he pinned the ebony baby carefully. He gave a smile before he moved to sit down, leaving Achak standing there in front of Lithe and the baby that Lithe was wrangling. He gave a smile as he settled in, "Try to make friends, Achak."

The little ghost gave a hiss of surprise, looking as though he was displeased over being left behind. He glanced up at Lithe, down at the ebony baby, and seemed to relax a bit. It seemed that the ebony baby getting squished either amused or pleased him. Hard to say but at least he wasn't running away. Something that had Incanthis smiling before he turned to look over at Abie, "I think that's a good sign."

Incanthis gave a bit of a laugh he said nothing, not wanting for Abie to think about the fact that Junior was the sort that just vanished from his lessons. He wanted to be ever at Incan's side which meant skipping out on a lot of other things. He looked over at the big green who was currently laying down, letting the baby with the bad leg bite and tug on the thick skin on his side. Junior seemed to give no indication that he cared though, letting the baby play.

Leaning back on his elbows were he sat Incanthis let his eyes sink closed, "It seems that everyone is starting to get along. That's good." He wanted all of the babies to get along with one another and it seemed that it was going well... ish? It was hard to say but he was hopeful in this moment.
