Munich just giggled as she watched Avitus turn away. She knew he wouldn't last under her stern gaze. She was amused to hear that hitting his bonded was being compared to killing him. Though Munich might not have liked her bonded, she certainly wouldn't think of killing her.
"I know you don't kill him," Rhea retorted. "But it's still not nice to hit other people! How would you feel if Linneas hit you?" she asked, genuinely curious. Did he have any cares for himself or others?
The sudden strange outburst startled Rhea a bit, and she let out a nervous giggle. "Yeah, I doubt he'll be able to do much to you at all," she said, nodding at the redhead. "My mom's name is Elysia. She's kinda tallish...with curly silver hair and big blue eyes. Next time we come to the Stationary Shop and you're there, I'll introduce you to her. She's really nice to me."

"Linneas won't hit, Linneas can't hit." Avitus shrugged, "You hit Munich?" Avitus asked, eyeing the other Feien curiously.
At hearing his bonded speak, Avitus quirked a brow. It didn't sound quite like Linneas, but it was still Linneas wasn't it?
"My mom's name is Huni. I'm a little taller than she, and we have the same red hair. Her eyes aren't gold like mine, they're jade green." Linneas described, "And I'm sure I'll like her as well." he smiled. "I'll introduce you to my mom, or maybe she's met you already?"

Rhea just giggled. "No, I don't hit her! I may swat at her every now and then, but she knows better, and moves before my hand can touch her." She laughed again, looking over to Munich, who had managed to crack a smile for her bond. "I'm just saying...If you hit Linneas enough, he may just get mad and hit you right back. I'm just giving you a warning for next time..." she continued, hoping that Avi would learn something from this meeting.
"Huni. Mmm...I'll have to remember that for when I meet her. She'll be surprised if I know her name already! Wow, you and your mom must look a lot alike. It sounds like it at least. I'lll be pleased to be introduced to her next time I see you. I dunno. I don't think I've seen her in the shop before...just Ning."
Munich had been to the Stationary Shop once, but the visit hadn't been very long. Every time Munich met other Tales, they were out and about in town, or at the park, or the fountain...She wondered if she'd met the woman they were talking about...

See? What was there to worry about? If the little Tale didn't hit her Feien, why would Linneas ever hit him? Avitus nodded to himself in self-satisfaction. His thoughts turned to Huni, what did he think of the female red head?
"Oh she will be very interested to find out how you know her name." Linneas chuckled, "Ning might have told her about you, but mom has a very weird memory." he chuckled awkwardly, it was true, Huni had the bad habit of forgetting people's names and faces.

Munich was starting to get a bit agitated, and she wondered if she could fly off for awhile to explore the park by herself. She hadn't really hit it off with Avitus, and she figured her time could be spent better elsewhere. Perhaps it was time to check out the HQ again. Last time she was there, she had met the Inquisitor and another Feien, so perhaps this time, there would be others to meet.
"Rhea, I think i want to go to the HQ. Can I go?" she asked, using her sweet voice to gain favor with her bond.
"I'm sure she'll wonder," Rhea replied to Linneas, a sly grin crossing her face. "We can trick her! Well, unless Ning told her...But if she's got a bad memory, I'll bet she won't remember me."
Hearing the Feien speak softly in her ear, Rhea's head whipped around, a little taken off-guard. The whisper had given her ear a tickle, and she'd practically jumped out of her seat. "Oh gosh, it's just you! You scared me for a second there Mun," she paused, thinking about the request. "No, I don't think I want you to go to the HQ today...We're having a nice time here with Linneas and Avi...You can just stay and hang out with us."
"Oh fine," she said, sighing as she sat back down on Rhea's shoulder, facing her neck this time. She acted nonchalant as one small hand reached out to Rhea's exposed flesh, fingers readied for a hearty pinch...

Avitus felt his thoughts being interrupted every so often because of Rhea and Munich. Why couldn't they keep it down? He frowned, "Linneas when we go?" he whined, wings flapping irritatedly.
"Oh come on, not you too." Linneas pursed his lips in mild annoyance. It wasn't often that he got to interact with other Tales. And this one had a Feien as well. "How long has Munich been living with you and your mom?"
"No call me Avi!" The Feien declared, stamping his foot on Linneas' shoulder.

Munich quickly executed her pinch, causing both she and Rhea to jump a bit in reaction. But Munich recovered quickly, laughing heartily as she jumped up and flew away from Rhea, prepared for the swatting that she would most likely receive. "I got you!" she exclaimed, laughing heartily as she hovered in mid-air, staying just far enough way to prevent any sort of slap by Rhea.
Rhea scowled at Munich, rubbing her neck, trying to get the feeling to go away. "That wasn't very nice!" she exclaimed, jumping up to swat at the feien who was now flying through the air, much faster than Rhea could catch her. "You need to learn not to do that to me! I don't care if you're angry...There are other ways to show your frustration!" Rhea and Munich were definitely quite the pair...
As Rhea gave up on chasing Mun around the park, she plopped back down on the bench, giving Linneas a half-hearted smile, the red welt on her neck still flaring.
"Sorry about that...Sometimes she makes me really angry." She paused, thinking about how long Munich had lived with them. "Well, I think Mun's only been with me a month or two now...She's still pretty new to me. I'm not quite sure why they picked her for me...because well, we're not very much alike."
She turned to Avi, and decided to tease him a bit. The feien really needed to learn how to lighten up. "No? Call you Avi? Well, haven't I been calling you that? What, don't you like it? Is there something else that you'd rather I call you?" she asked, still a bit confused about the feien's speech pattern.

The Feien rolled his eyes, "Avitus." he stated simply, was it too difficult for them to understand that he didn't like being given nicknames? He saw no point to it, hence he never called Linneas "Linny" despite hearing nearly everyone else in the house address him as such.
Linneas suppressed a laugh as he watched bonded and Feien interact. Although he knew it would hurt to be pinched, especially since Avi had recently taken to scratching.
"It's been only a few days since Avitus arrived, and I don't know why we became bonded either. I do remember filling out a form, but that's it basically. Avitus isn't as agreeable as I expected."

"Well, Avitus it is then," Rhea said, looking at the Feien and nodding, a hint of sarcasm in her voice. He was a mighty particular juvenile...Rhea hoped that for Linneas' sake, he'd be a bit more open-minded about meeting other feien in the future.
"A few days huh? Well, I don't know how Mun bonded to me either. I don't even remember filling out a form. Mom told me that she signed me up, but maybe she didn't fill out my personality information well enough. Munich is definitely nothing like me."
She gave Linny a tired grin. "Well, I hope the two of you can learn to get along better. You never know..."
Munich had taken to flitting around the low branches of the tree they were sitting under, exploring the leafy green underbelly of the foliage.

Avitus decided to leave the two to their conversation. He'd have enough 'company' for the day and hopped off Linneas' shoulder.
"Where are you off to?" The Tale asked, noticing Avitus' departure.
"Over there." He declared, pointing towards some nearby flowers. It seemed so much more peaceful there.
"Yeah, I'm giving Avitus his space as much as I can. But I can't help but worry for him, you know? It's not good to stay cooped up all the time. What do you do for fun?"

"Well, now that they're gone..." she commented, laughing a bit. "Boy, I never thought having a fairy as a familiar would be so hard! Both Avi and Munich are pretty hard to get along with. But at least I know there's someone else out there suffering along with me," she gave Linneas a knowing smile, and a quick tap on the shoulder.
"I take Mun pretty much everywhere with me. I know she hates it, but she comes anyway. I can't help but think she likes me just a little bit." Shifting in her seat, she pulled her legs up onto the bench so she could sit indian-style, her dress covering her lap and now folded legs. "Well, I guess I do lots of stuff for fun. I read a lot of books, and I hang out with my friends. Not too long ago I went to the music store with Angelus and Ti--," she paused. "Who's my best friend. She likes to sing, but I don't think I'm very good at it. We like to think about the adventures we'll go on when we grow up. Right now, we're working on a plan for if we ever need disguises," she stated matter-of-factly.

The Feien settled down peacefully on top of some fallen petals. Their aroma was calming, relaxing and it was genuine flowers not the artificial sort he remembered seeing in the shop. Apparently no one in the shop knew how to garden!
"Avitus rarely goes with me unless I threaten to leave him with Paestri." Linneas chuckled, never really believing he could use his sweet little sister as a threat. "Oh you've met Angel?" he smiled, recalling having met the Tale. "But who's Ti? I might have met her but I don't remember." he says sheepishly.
"Disguises eh? You planning to be spies?"

Munich squeaked from high in the tree. She'd been sitting on a high limb, watching the goings on below. She was still pissed about Avitus not wanting to talk to her. She had come to the conclusion that he was rude, and really, who would want to be friends with someone like that anyway! She'd be glad to give him his space, she thought, an angry frown on her face.
It was then that she saw the caterpillar, and practically fell off the branch. It had crept up slowly, but Munich hadn't realized it until it was right up on her. "Eek!" she squeaked as she tumbled backward away from the bug. It looked even bigger close up. Fluttering over to another branch, she watched as the caterpillar posted up on its hind feet, wiggling out toward her as if it wanted to follow her.
"Paestri? Your sister has a really interesting name...Is she a Tale too?" she asked. She hadn't met any Tales that had a brother or sister who was also a Tale. There was Angelus and Jiro, but they weren't really brothers, even if they now shared the same blood.
"Angel? He lets you call him that?" she giggled. "Next time I see him, maybe I'll try it out. Angelus was the first Tale that was really nice to me. I like him a lot," she said, nodding furiously. And she did. Rhea was very fond of Angelus.
"Oh, Ti! Her real name's Tiwaz. She's a Tale like us. She was actually the Tale born right after me. She's got long hair like mine, but it's a nice shade of purple. And she has eyes like me too! She also has cool wings. They're black and look like a bat's wings, and they have silver markings all over them."
She paused to take a breath, and giggled at Linneas' question. "Not spies...we just want to travel around and see the world! And you never know when you'll need a good disguise. I already know that the world isn't as easy to get along in as it seems..."

Avitus had his mismatched eyes closed, deeply breathing in the scent of the flowers. He was beginning to fall asleep, and the thought that Linneas wouldn't know where he was didn't even cross his mind.
"Paestri's not a Tale, she's actually a Legend. Or at least that's what my mom says." Linneas grinned. He nodded attentively as Rhea described her friends with great enthusiasm. Rhea was a little bundle of energy wasn't she?
"Tiwaz eh? I think I saw her before, but briefly. And I know what you mean about the world." he sighed, "But traveling would be nice, I just don't think I'll be doing much of that though." he adds with a small chuckle.

Finally able to rest, Munich watched as the caterpillar gave up trying to get her, and wandered off, munching on a leaf a few branches over. She sighed and looked down at her bonded, who looked like she was enjoying herself. God, they were going to be here forever! If only the other Feien was more socialble. They'd be having a grand time right now if that were the case. She was sure of it.
"Aaah, she's a Legend? Mom's mentioned something about them before, but I haven't really heard much. How did they come about?" she asked, wondering if these babies just magically appeared in a cloud of smoke. If she could come out of a book, she was sure there were other crazy ways of delivering children.
"No travelling for you? How come?" she asked, curious as to why someone wouldn't travel, even if they wanted to.
