The sudden extreme change in Myze with the awful sight of watching the near-fight overwhelms the poor day thule. She sobs and clings to Lucas as he hugs her and murmurs words of comfort to her. Her sobs soften slightly as she clings and things begin to calm down.
Ecavi holds onto Myze as she squirms, wanting free to retrieve the broken hair piece. She sighs and draws the thule closer to her, holding the weight in just one hand and with her now free hand pulling the unbroken stick with the moon on it out of Myze's loose hair.
Myze grabs at the clip when Ecavi pulls it out, scratching her guardian on the hand as she takes it. She returns to glaring at the bench, and what she can see of Raul from here.
Ecavi sighs sadly and sits down, paying no mind to the scratch on her hand, "Myze isn't normally like this, either! She doesn't react to anything, normally.." Keeping the night thule close to her, her eyes go from Myze, to the bag, and then to Lucas and Ceri over in the grass.
"Oooh," she says sadly, looking over at them.

Lucas puts one of his bright pink wings around Ceri in a protective gesture, petting her hair. He tries to pretend she's Raul, trying to send comfort to her mentally, because he can't quell her sobs physically. Seeing her cry makes him want to cry, and gives him a deep, bad feeling in his chest; he really, really doesn't like that feeling.
Ara is at a loss; clearly, the day is ruined, but--she checks her watch--they haven't even been here half an hour yet! She glances down at Raul, who is still under the bench, now with his wings folded around him. "Now look what you've done," she chides under her breath. She turns to Ecavi. "Look, I'm really sorry about this...if I had known Raul would be such a miscreant today..."
Upon noticing the other guardian is fixed upon something else, she turns in that direction, finally realizing the other two thule have not, despite recent events, fallen off the face of the Earth. Ara bites her lip, feeling like a horrible mother. For this angle, however, Lucas seems to be doing a very good job of comforting Ceri, and she is disinclined to leave Raul unattended, lest he attack Ecavi and Myze. She looks at the other guardian, "Should I?"
The Love thule makes that decision for her, however, when he steers the Day thule in their direction, walking--walking! It's slow and wobbly, but it's a start!--towards them, trying to balance them both and keep his wing around Ceri. Apparently, he either realized seeing Myze would help calm Ceri down, or he just wants to see his own brother, himself. Meanwhile, his black sheep plush lies completely forgotten in the grass.

Ceri's sob soften more, though her eyes continue to water. She doesn't like this feeling from Myze, it was scary and so different. She keeps a hold on Lucas as he begins to lead them over to their guardians.
Ecavi looks back to Ara, "Oh, it's not your fault! I'm sorry it happened to- but we can't let it ruin everything.." She says this last part hopefully, looking down at Raul and at the bench. She carefully sets Myze onto the bench and gets up to meet Ceri and Lucas and help them get over here.
She gently puts a hand on Lucas, since he seems to be in the lead- trying to help him steady, "It's alright guys, don't worry.." She says this meekly, it certainly wasn't a great start to an outing..
The bag 'cavi had brought with them also lays forgotten on the ground by the bench.
Myze sits in her spot, holding the clip in one arm and watching as Ecavi goes to help the other aduthule- softening a bit. She hadn't meant to make Ceri cry, but that black thule tried to attack her! And it made her break her hair clips. She couldn't just sit and stare at him. She looks down through the bench at the thule beneath it and begins to move to crawl off of her spot on the bench.

Fortunately for all concerned, Lucas makes it to his brother before Myze can, ignoring Ecavi for the moment to drape himself over his brother's prone form. He knows instinctively where his brother is, it's something that's just natural; he doesn't need to see Raul to place him, or know what he's thinking of feeling.
He emits a soft keen, the closest thing he's come to a full-blown wail since he came into Ara's care. Once the cry is done, the Love thule sniffles and cuddles up to his brother's side. Raul doesn't move, but his wing lifts, and, with a soft 'eep!' of surprise from Lucas, drags the white thule into the dark embrace to confer with his brother, the large, dark appendages hiding them from view.
Ara watches the boys' antics, internal sighing. "No, I suppose we can't let it ruin the day...' she says, then smiles as she bends down to pick up Ecavi's bag. "Here, this is yours, I think...? You were going to show me something, as I recall." She hands 'Cavi the bag.
Meanwhile, under the bench, the brothers seem to have come to an agreement. An extremely miffed-looking (but considerably less angry) Raul lets his pleased brother go, Lucas now holding Myze's clip. He pauses, a knowing smile spread over his cherub's face, and abruptly shoves the pin in Myze's direction with a happy "Heega!"; obviously, he wants her to take it. This is his way of offering a truce between his brother and the Night thule, since obviously Raul won't do it for himself. Lucas doesn't know who Myze is, knows she attacked his brother; but he also understands, with that sharp cleverness he has, that she's Ceri's sister and if she's happy, Ceri won't cry again: he doesn't want Ceri to cry.
((*coos over Lu's impossible cuteness* Look! Mah bebeh is a born diplomat! x3))

Ecavi takes the crying Ceri from Lucas when he reaches the bench and goes to his own brother, picking her up and moving back to the bench. "It's alright, Ceri, nothing happened," she coos, stroking the girl's hair. Noticing then that Myze has left the bench.
Myze stops in her tracks when Lucas and Raul have their little conference, her stare quite different than her usual, as she allows them to talk- she doesn't have a problem with the white thule. She folds her arms and watches.
Ecavi keeps an eye on Myze as she waits, biting her lip a bit and mumbling in reply to Ara, still holding onto Ceri.
"What? Oh- yeah," she murmurs as she makes sure Myze doesn't try anything, taking the bag from Ara..
When Lucas holds out the pin for her to take, Myze looks beyond him to Raul- deciding something a long the lines of Lucas, Ceri would stop crying if they stopped now. And as much as it bugged her, she had what she wanted. She takes the pin from Lucas silently, then takes several steps away and sits down on the grass.
Ecavi sighs when she sees Myze has decided to go peacefully, then turns back to the task at hand, with the bag.

Lucas squeals happily, clapping his hands. Peace and happiness have returned! He flops back down in the dirt, and takes his brother's long, fluffly tail in his hands. Wrapping himself up in it is almost as good as an actual hug from Raul, he thinks. The Hate thule, still angry at being out-maneuvered by his brother and that other, stupid Thule, lets himself be played with but doesn't make any move to join in, sulking.
Ara sighs at her two boys, bending down to ruffle Raul' hair affectionately. He growls at her. "You big silly..." she mumbles to him, grinning, and sits down once again beside Ecavi.

Myze sits in the grass some feet away, still sour but not doing anything about it. She looks towards the broken pin in her hand and begins trying to figure out if she'd be able to fix it.
Ceri sits with Ecavi, clinging to her, eyes red from crying but otherwise alright.
Ecavi looks from the love and hate aduthule to Ara, and holds out the bag for her to take, "I made something for the boys, as a gift from us.."

"Oh goodness!" Ara exclaims, awed, taking the bag. "You didn't have to...I mean, wow..." The feline woman looks for all the world like a child on Christmas, and her enthusiasm causes Lucas to tilt his head up at her, smiling. "Zoop?" he asks, reached up for her.
"Look, Lucas! Ecavi got us a present!" The guardian says, picking up the little white Thule and setting him down in her lap. Gently, she takes his hands and puts them in the bag. "Go get it!"
((I assume the present is in the bag, therefore Ecavi hands it to Ara? *is slow*))

(( Yes, yes it is biggrin And 'zoop' sounds funny. )) Ecavi beams, "Atleast you know where this gift is coming from, right?" She watches with quiet joy as Ara guides Lucas to retrieve the gift from the bag. Ceri watches curiously from her spot on Ecavi's lap, wondering what's in the bag- as if she just noticed it now. "Vono!" she babbles, watching. Lucas' fingers are greeted mostly by a very soft material, though something scratchier can be felt nearby as well.  Ecavi smiles, "I made it with a bunch of different kinds of fabric. I thought they'd like it more if it was interesting to feel.." (( For reference: eyes and nose are hard. Body is soft. White patches shorter, thus rougher version of body. mouth is felt. ribbon is.. well, the thin, scratchy kind of ribbon ninja ))

"Oh, but...'Cavi...really...wasn't necessary..." Ara protests half-heartedly, watching as Lucas gropes the bear, completely fascinated by the changing textures. What a cool toy! He babbles something gleeful in Thule-speak, hugging the bear. Raul, his curiosity piqued, crawls over to Ara's legs and reaches up, using her knees to support his weak standing posture. Still on his guardian's lap, Lucas hands the bear to his brother for inspection. Raul seems to find it to his liking, quietly patting it with one hand, then the other (so as not to let go of his mother's legs and fall), until Ara simply picks him up and sets him beside his twin, where the two can examine the new toy together.
"Ecavi, it's wonderful. You made it yourself...? I'm impressed--I can barely mend clothes, much less make something with a needle, thread and fabric." She chuckles, absently patting Lucas' head as she watches her boys, completely engrossed in each other and the new plaything.

Ceri watches with wide eyes as Lucas and Raul inspect the plushie, quiet once more at the sight of something soft. It looked to her like it made them happy- which was good. It was pretty colors too! She manages, somehow, to sit quietly and just watch.
Myze, still pretending the people on the bench aren't there, sits staring apathetically once more at her hair pin.
Ecavi smiles, "I'm not too bad at sewing. I was hoping they'd like it."

"Well, see for yourself. They love it." Ara beams, radiant as she sees Lucas turn to Ceri, grope around at the air around her for a moment, before catching by the arm and tugging her towards Ara's lap. "Phee!" He invites her, grinning, to come see his toy. Raul growls a bit, but Lucas twitches an ear and something passes between them, and the Hate thule calms. Ara blinks.
"Do Myze and Ceri do that, too?" she asks Ecavi, pointing the boys out.

Ceri allows herself to be pulled towards Ara, Raul and the teddy bear. She murmurs inaudibly and sits on the bench beside Ara, looking at the bear. She reaches out and gently pets the bear on the head- it was soft.
Ecavi looks to Lucas and Raul in time to catch the idea of what had passed between them, she smiles a bit, "I think so. The girls definetely have a connection."
Ceri's green eyes sparkle, as she pets him.
"Reeuh ki ma da," she explains in her own way to the love thule, her eyes filling with tears again.
At this both Ecavi and Myze look at Ceri- Ecavi frowns, somewhere between panic and crying herself. She can't understand why the teddy bear would make her cry! Myze gets up from her spot in the grass, holding the hair pin, and walks over to the bench. Her violet eyes directly on her sister, who looks back at her sadly..

"Shoo...to ba tass," the little white thule murmurs sadly, and does what he always does when someone he knows is sad: he leans over and hugs Ceri, gently. Raul keeps the bear for the time being, and tilts his head with a slight noise to indicate his confusion. Clearly, there's an emotional part to all this that's going right over the Hate thule's head. "Gojo?"
"Oooh, Ceri...don't cry..." Ara soothes, but doesn't touch the Day thule, knowing full well Myze is right at her feet and probably quite protective of her vulnerable sister.

Ceri sobs as she clings to Lucas, evidentally not having the best of days. Myze does her best to try to climb onto the bench, but has to be helped up by a distressed Ecavi. She sits down with Ceri and Lucas, and puts a long hand on Ceri's knee in an attempt to comfort her sister.
Ecavi watches helplessly for a moment, cooing softly afterwards, "It's alright, Ceri." She reaches and gently puts a hand on Ceri's shoulder.
Both aduthule girls turn and look at Ecavi, Myze's facial expression calculating, while Ceri just stares.
((wow, focus is going back and fourth quite a bit here xd ))
