Atae frowned, but nodded. "Sure... for now, at least. Be hard to keep quiet after they hatch, but that shouldn't be for a little while..." When he got up and started pacing she went over and put a hand on his shoulder. "Terasu... if this is what you want and it makes you happy... they'll just have to learn to deal with it. Charity isn't her dad and they're just going to have to accept that, because it's your life... and you're building on that life with her. And your kits, when they show up. And if Ed wants to be a butt he's gonna have to go through me, too, because I'm behind you on this no matter how crazy it looks after everything that's happened. So... you've got back up?" She grinned sheepishly. "Do you need help with the beanbag or anything?"

No, he didn't mind once the eggs arrived. It'd be pointless and a shame to hide anything then. A touch to his shoulder made him jump, green eyes peeking at Atae. "This is what I want, no doubt. But you know how I concern over everyone's happiness." He didn't want to appear like a hypocrite or....traitor. "Besides, I don't want any lips from Ed. I don't think I'd be able to hold myself back." He turned and paced back to the bag, front paws placed on it. "Yeah....I'll need help with this." With both things.

Atae grinned. "Well... I'll handle Ed if I can catch him before he runs into you two. You know how sneaky he is sometimes." She grimaced and then trotted over to the beanbag. "Humm... well Ifrit could carry it easy but we don't want to tell anyone yet... And we'd make a funny Siamese turtle trying to carry it on our backs. Maybe we can drag it on one of those foam boards by the pool..."

"Ain't that the truth. Eh, just don't worry about it." He eyed the bag, as much as he liked the thing, he never thought he'd be dragging it around. Still, he couldn't come to Charity without the chair. A brow raised at Atae, and he bust out laughing. "Siamese turtle?!? That is just too comical." His tails curled and he tilted his head. "Uh, foam board? Sounds much easier."

Atae gave the beanbag a good once over and nodded to herself. "Wait here a minute, I'll be right back." She trotted toward the back and the sound of the back door opening could be heard before she trotted back in with a sturdy foam floating board from the pool. Then she trotted off down the hall toward her room, opened a door just out of sight, disappeared for a moment, and then reappeared with what looked like a long coil of a small rope. She deposited that next to the foam board. "There! We can tie it on and make some loops we can pull on or something."

Terasu waited patiently with a nod, hearing as Atae moved around the house. When she returned, the board and a rope was with her. He got to work at her suggestion, pushing the bag onto the large board. His teeth nipped one end of the rope and he curled it tightly around the board and bag, making it as secure as possible. It ended with the two rope ends at the front of the board, Terasu tilting his head. "Alright, we need loops or just tug on it?" He didn't know if time was good on Charity's mood. x__x

"I'd say loops... so we can face forward and stuff. We can walk to the sides of it to make sure it doesn't tip over or anything, but we'll get it there faster and I'm pretty sure be able to steer easier with the loops." That said she worked a couple more short lengths of rope free of the coil and made said loops, made sure they were secure, and trotted over to open the door so they could get the beanbag outside. "I'll just close the door after we get out and then we should be good to go." She grabbed the loop on her side and waited for him to follow suit.

"Okay." Terasu sat back and watched as she made said loops. Once she was finished, he picked the left side as Atae got the right. "Ready?" With a nod from his friend, he heaved the loop forward, surprised by how easily it slide along the ground. Though the doorway decided to be troublesome, and it took some seconds to push the bloated bag passed. "Stupid beans." Terasu half scowled and half chuckled. Once passed he leaned on the bag as Atae went to shut the door.

((Should Atae come inside with Terasu after they get the beanbag there or what?))
Atae made sure the door was securely shut and then helped Terasu drag the beanbag toward HQ, stopping a couple of times to drink from the streams on the way there. The foam board was getting a bit beat up by rocks and sticks on the ground, but it did what she was hoping and kept the beanbag from getting torn up before they got it to HQ and Charity.

((Charity will join us)) 8B
Finally, HQ was in sight. Thanks to Atae's logic, otherwise they'd be a slow moving siamese turtle. Sliding the beanbag up the porch, he opened the front door and helped his friend to get it inside. "Alright, we selected a room as our own. It's down the last hall." Of course, considering this was a public place, and they'd need privacy with their family. The bag was moved down, till it reached the door where Charity rested. The male knocked and peeked inside for his mate. "Charity?"

She was anything but resting... the sounds of paws moving about in the room could be heard if one listened closely as Charity paced. However, hearing Terasu say her name, she immediately turned to the door. She wanted her beanbag and she wanted it now!
"Its about time!" she said irritably, moving towards the door and narrowing her eyes slightly as she was obviously in not the best moods. "What took you so long! Did you get anything to eat? I'm eating for... who knows how many!" Sticking her head out the door, she eyed the beanbag with scrutiny, "It'll do..." and then looked to Atae. "Ah."

"Hi Charity. Ah... want me to see if there's anything in the kitchen while you two figure out where that goes?" She had a feeling Terasu would be pushing the beanbag around while Charity directed the placement, but... yeah. She was rather at a loss for what to do now. >>;

Terasu ducked his ears back like a scolded puppy at Charity's nagging. He couldn't blame her, but really....
He didn't bother mumbling anything, even under his breath. He turned to Atae, thinking it best to get her away from the raging hormones. "Would you mind, Atae? Err," He peeked over to Charity, "so....what are you craving?" Please be something decent and not utterly gross. x__x
His paws moved to the beanbag, pushing the door open with its sliding motion as he set to untying it.

Hope flickered in Charity's amber gaze as Atae offered to get food.. her ears flattening to the sides of her head. "Something raw.. and bloody..." claws kneaded the carpet in eager anticipation. She grew up in the natural world.. she hadn't really had a lot of 'people food'. "Venison... yessss... deer heart or something to that effect." It was then that Charity disappeared into the room and watched as Terasu brought in the beanbag and untied it from the board they'd used to transport it on.
She waved a paw, "Over there in the corner... next to the pipe..." where it was nice and warm. She would feel good leaving eggs next to that water heater pipe and not worry about them getting cold.

...Deer heart? Uh. Where was she supposed to get that? For whatever reason, that was the issue that came up in Atae's mind, rather than how weird the request might seem to her when she'd grown up with cooked food. To each their own, or something of that nature.
She trotted into the kitchen, hoping maybe... there'd be steaks in the freezer or... something. Oddly enough... someone had what looked like a shoulder roast out to thaw on the counter. She prodded it experimentally and found it was actually room temperature... but she still cut it down the middle to see if it was frozen on the inside. No? Someone must have forgotten about it or something. ...Whatever. It still smelled fresh. If someone still actually wanted the thing... she'd replace it. I mean... she hadn't seen anyone around to be waiting to cook it, so this was better than letting it sit there and go bad, right? ...Also better than facing scary pregnant Charity with no food.
Even if it wasn't warm like from a fresh kill, the raw meat and blood was a decidedly bizarre taste in her mouth as she carried the chunk of meat back toward Charity and Terasu's room. She couldn't decide if she liked it or... not. It was also rather akward, since this particular hunk of meat was a very large cut, and she was a bit on the small side for an adult. Still, she managed it and knocked on the doorframe to announce her return, hoping Charity would find it acceptable.
