Atae watched the little ones in fascination, and then noticed the pale green kit gnawing... or rather gumming, on one of her brothers. "Maybe I should see about getting them some teething toys so they don't shred everything in the room..."
She continued to watch the wiggle of small bodies, a little smile stealing across her face, and then blinked, looking up at the parents. "Have any idea what you're going to name them?"

Huh? Pulled in. Legs scrambling on the beanbag. Sliding...
oooo.... bath. Warm. Not so wet. The kit leaned into the bath, nearly toppling over again. Did topple over. Tried to move, & his legs splayed in the soft beanbag surface. Coughed as the mucus from nose & mouth cleared and he could breath. Sneeze. He fell onto his back from the force. Then there was a rumble in his tummy. Whimper. Hungry.
He nuzzled and poked his nose into the big warm thing. Nuzzle, poke, wander, flop, poke. There had to be food around here somewhere. Something about the scent... reminded him of safe & warm though the kit had never used his nose before now.

There was so much contact suddenly. He felt a nose and then paws. And being moved while upside-down wasn't very comfortable, he quickly decided. Wriggling, he was able to flip his tiny body just as he was pulled to the big warmth with his siblings. Curiosity had his nose prodding at the warmth until he felt a strange sensation, like wet yet not, running along his fur. Shivering, the male curled, instinctively keeping his more sensitive tummy and ears away from the cleaning.
And then he felt something poking at his paw. Eyes shut, he had no idea what it could be, but it was annoying and he was already confused without its help. A small hiss rose in his throat, getting stuck due to lack of ability, and coming out as a gargled squeak. Unable to pull his paw from the teething sister without further discomfort, he began to nose at the closest little warmth, probably her body.

A soft purr came from Charity as she groomed the four little bodies, which didn't take long at all. Who knew that she would be so... motherly? But then it was half instinct, but even so. With the poking of the one kit, she rolled onto her side a little bit, giving him access to what he was looking for.
The little green and white kit opened her little maw in a yawn, then squeaked a complaint as she felt shuffling about her. Still, she seemed to get the same idea as her brother and sought out the food source.
Ears perked at the mention of names and Charity lifted her brows, looking towards her mate and Atae with a thoughtful expression. Hm.. she hadn't really given it a whole lot of thought but she did have a couple things in mind. She then gave a mischevious grin, "I thought about naming one of them Faith... I think it would fit the purple and red kit nicely." Smirk.

Toys would be good, though he doubted the kits would get bored. There were four of them to antagonize each other, sadly. He coughed with a grin, and reached out with a paw to tickle at their tail tips. Oh, names. That's right. Green eyes scanned at the group, finding the greens to be the daughters, the purples to be the males. A raised brow was given to his mate at the feminine name. "Faith?" That poor boy. He chuckled and pointed at the ouroboros kit. "Then she shall be Nyhility." Two down, two to go...
Ears finally twitched at all the odd sounds surrounding her. Voices, sneezes, and other tiny voices like her own. Her own tummy soon rumbled as well, and she nibbled harder on her brother. Nothing but soft fur was given to her tongue. A pathetic squeak and cry, bumping her head into the snuggling sibling. Then she pulled away, shuffling and crawling to the bigger warmth. A bosy nose poked into the fur, urgently trying to satisfy her upset tummy.

((hope it's okay for me to join in...? if not i can delete))
Nessa wandered nearby the hatching brood, and sniffed the air a bit. She sensed her bloodline nearby and curious, stalked closer to see what all the noises was about. She poked her nose through some around a couch and blinked.
"Ah.... I see I haven't missed the moment." she said softly, smiling behind the black scarf as the young made their way out of their enclosures.

Atae was watching the little ones with abject fascination and jumped in startlement when Nessa spoke. She looked blankly at her for a moment before noticing little similarities to Charity. "I... ah... Hello, I'm Atae. You're one of Charity's family?..." It felt rather lame to ask that, but... she had no idea which of Charity's family members she was. Atae hadn't had the fortune, good or ill, of personally meeting any of Charity's relatives.

The hungry little boy, just named, did not care nor notice as he was named. Faith had found the nourishing food supply his mother offered and latched on firmly and hungrily, red tipped tails flicking behind him as he hunkered down into the beanbag & suckled. Nor did he notice the 3 other adult kitsu that were in the room. Happy kit... belly quickly getting full.

Poking at his sister hadn't much helped, considering he felt the dull pain of her teething even more. Another attempted hiss ended in another pathetic squeak, leaving the tiny kit's throat scratchy and dry. He shuffled in agitation, squeaking again when headbutted. And then he felt alone. The warmth of his siblings had moved and crouded around the big warmth of their mother. He lifted his head, moving it as if he could actually see the adults circled around the beanbag nest.
Of course, it didn't take him long to lose interest. He 'looked' back towards where the warmth was, beginning to feel the same sting in his stomach that'd motivated the others. Wriggling in with them, he poked along mama's belly, making little sounds as he went. It took him a while to find what he was looking for. He'd held back, trying not to disturb his siblings out of some strange courteous instinct that seemed to surface now that his minty sister was no longer instigating.

Nessa nodded. She didn't think it a stupid question. She had never met this kitsu, so how would she have known who Nessa was in relation to Charity? "I am. And it looks like I'm already a grandmother."
She smiled again, though with the scarf in place it wasn't too obvious. She didn't mind, and thought the young were perfect. In fact, she almost wished that she could have another litter.... Nessa wondered if Envy would ever feel the same.

With the tiny kits feeding, the naming continued, although Charity remained careful not to disturbe her offspring as well as she could. "This one shall be, Jade" she stated, pointing to the little green and white kit. She liked the way that one's patterened turned out. Then there was the feathered kit who looked a great deal like his father.
However, a familiar voice caught her attention and Charity looked up to see her mother. She wondered when Nessa would find them. "You approve, mother?" she asked, wondering what she thought of the four tiny bundles at her side.
The newly named Jade seemed oblivious to everything around as like her siblings, was focused solely on filling her belly as well.
Also, it was then that a little bird flitted through the door that was cracked open. A strange black and dark green bird with round white eyes and a strange, long crest of feathers on its head. It perched on one of Nessa's horns and ruffled its feathers.

Nessa nodded. "How could I not? I had young too, as you are proof of that." she said with a grin. "And the names are very nice. I like how you are keeping with tradition. I fear that should your father and I ever have more, we'll have a difficult time in presenting them with names..."
She said this purposefully, knowing for a fact that it was Envy perched on her horn. Nessa had begun wondering where he had gotten off to, being that all these young were also part of him.

Slight surprise caught Terasu as Nessa entered the room, and he backed up some to sit near Atae and make room. He glanced down at the kits once more, absorbing the name of the green kit. Last one was the masked boy. What to name him? Nose scrunched and ears gave a small flick at the sound of wings. It took him a moment to look about, before he spotted the bird land upon Nessa. Feathers ruffled as he took in the green plummage and 'coincidence' of its arrival. His own family wasn't here....
"Cope." Chin lifted and nodded at the remaining kit, green eyes distant. "His name is Cope."

Faith suckled hard, his little belly rounding as it filled. His little ears flicked as something fluttered overhead. There was an suction sound as he popped off, eyes still closed, and rolled over on his back with his little paws reaching for the thing that had flown overhead. Also now that his belly was full, little Faith wondered about the other sources of warmth and scent. He sniffed and yawned. Then he rolled to almost sitting, front paws barely supporting him from falling in the beanbag on his overextended belly. The warm body where the food came from shared scents with one of the others. Another smelled like no other body in the room. The dark male kit was curious about the one that shared scents with the smaller warmths nearby. And... something of the food-warmth one on him? "Brrrrt?" Flop.

Atae watched the little ones with abject fascination, though she glanced up when she heard the fluttering of the bird. She also felt who it was, even if she hadn't ever met him. But... having Charity for family made him part of her life now, however obscure, and she wasn't going to go around aggravating things. Especially not at a time like this. "They're all beautiful... and so different!" She recognized a bit of Setsumi in Jade and Cope. That made her smile. Faith seemed done with his meal so she chirped at him softly to see if he'd react. "I guess you two are gonna have your paws full with four..." Especially if they liked to play/fight/argue the way Ed and Terasu had.
