"A little," he admitted, his voice soft.
"I used to live with a mean man when I was little and he always came home in the night."
Raising his voice, he replied to Youko's comment.
"They will eventually. Whether someone ends up beating manners and such into them, or something else somewhat drastic."

"Oh..." Creyle said, his eyes looking down at his blankie. "But what about Desmond? Does he keep you safe?"
Youko smirked, ruffling Procyon's hair. Which got a grumbling snarl out of the child. "Hm, you're right. Maybe Siri and I will have to work on that. God knows this one and Bryon need some manners."

Artemus reddened slightly.
"I haven't known Desmond long enough to know that yet," he admitted.
"I suppose that I'll find out soon enough." He leant back into the couch.
"But as time went on I got less afraid of the dark too," he murmured. "Its something you can grow out of."
"Be nice," Artemus scolded, using a fake sickening sweet voice.
"Save the more drastic measures for last though," he advised.

The child blinked, not knowing what Artemus really meant. "I bet he can keep you protected from the evil darkness!" Crelye grinned, wriggling on Artemus' lap. His dark ear twitched as the blue fox murmured something. "Grow out of being scared? You mean I won't be so afraid of the dark soon?"
The silver fox just smirked evilly at Artemus. "Aw, but that's no fun. You know Siri and I can't be nice all the time! We have to be naughty, it's in our nature!"

Artemus smiled, and shifted slightly while Crelye wriggled.
"I hope so. I think that you will grow out of it. What part of the night are you afraid of?" he asked.
"Yes, but that doesn't mean you should torture them all the time, does it?"

"Right after midnight, when things get really dark... Bryon sometimes starts to make scary noises as he sleeps..." Crelye clung to Artemus. "And then Cyon starts to tease me!"
"Pfft. Why shouldn't we? They need dicipline!" Youko returned as he rested his elbow on Procyon's head.

Artemus sighed slightly, and rested his chin lightly on Crelye's head.
"That has to be worse than a monster. I don't blame for sleeping with your parents."
"Because they'll grow up worse than you would expect if you did it all the time," he replied bluntly.

Crelye whimpered in agreement. "Mommy and Daddy protect me, so I'm not so scared to sleep. Will Desmond do the same for you?" he asked innocently.
Youko rolled his eyes, "Well we obviously won't do it to them all the time. Just when they need to know what they're doing is wrong."

Artemus grinned.
"I don't know, but I think so." It did embarass him a little talking about it, but Crelye didn't quite understand yet... or at least that was what he hoped.
"I just got the impression before that you might do it all the time," he shrugged slightly.

"You should ask him! I bet he's really nice & would say yes." Of course Crelye didn't quite know what they were talking about, he was perfectly innocent.
"Naw, that'd be inhumane." Youko replied with a shrug, Procyon squirming under his elbow.

Artemus smiled slightly.
"You'd like to meet him too, wouldn't you?" he asked, trying to change the subject.
"We aren't completely human though," he pointed out. He did know what Youko meant, but that didn't mean that he couldn't poke a bit of fun at it.

"Yes! Pleaaasse? Oh pretty please!" Crelye said, clinging to Artemus. "I wanna meet him!"
"Oh you know what I mean." Youko smirked, rolling his eyes. "Mr. Know-it-all."

Artemus grinned.
"Sure, but you'd have to be here when he drops by," he teased slightly.
"Of course I know what you mean, but I wanted to point that out."

Crelye pouted. "Then I wanna sleep over! Pllleeeaaassseeeee!" the child begged, clinging tightly to Artemus' shirt.
The silver fox made a face at Artemus, but grinned. "Ya know, I'd call you a lot of other thing if there weren't little ears around." Youko teased back.

Artemus chuckled.
"You'll have to ask your parents about that," he commented, smiling at Crelye. He ruffled his hair again.
"Of course, I think I'd be disappointed otherwise," he replied, grinning.
