Oliver smiled a little, "i know what you mean, sire. it is amazingly cold! i did not know it could be so." he wasn't shaking anymore, did that mean he was warm? "sire? am i warm, now?" he asked, holding up his empty cup to show he'd drank all of his tea. Lewis grinned, "yeah, just a glass here and there doesn't hurt." he leaned his head on Al's shoulder and closed his eyes, "ready when you are." Tsume grinned, "You never know. there might be just enough of a stirring left, but you are right. maybe not." he slipped a hand into Kashi's and pulled him up, "all the same, get out of bed or you never are going to."

 Yashweh, Fyr, Alice, Kilala "Let me check." He placed the back of his hand against Oliver's head, doing the same to his own. "You feel fine, but you should keep a blanket around you just in case."Annabelle looked at Martha worriedly. "Are you better?" "I feel really tired." she said quietly. "I want to go to bed." The girl nodded, looking at Nix. "We can take you to bed. Emily and Justin might still be sleeping though." and helped Martha up, looking at the nearly filled mug and holding on to it. Alvaro nodded. "Ladies, Henry, we'll see you later. Thank you for breakfast, Saegthin." "You're welcome, sir." The women waved bye, Alice and Fyr focusing back on the children worriedly while Kilala focused more on the food. The hare whined as he was forced to sit up. "Tsume don't be mean. I'm sore.I have bruises on my hips and bruises elsewhere." Though those were hickies. "and my tail hurts because someone grabbed it too hard when finishing."

Oliver nodded, "yes sire." he sneezed softly, but brushed it off before giving the mug back to the chef, "thank you for the tea, sir." he smiled a little before turning back to Yashweh, "ready."Lewis gave a little wave as they left, holding onto Al's hand with the other. "to the flowers!" Nix nodded, "we can get her into bed without waking them. i think we should lay down with her until she falls asleep, to keep her warm." she slipped her hand into Martha's, "never do that again! you almost died! thank you for breakfast, sir, and for your help everyone!" Pix smiled, "have your brother look at her later to make sure everything is alright." Nix nodded and she sat back, "crazy kid." Kiara smiled, "but she is surrounded by those that love and worry about her. that is nice." Tsume rolled his eyes, "Which, in turn, made you finish. i'll carry you if i have to, Kashi. we need bathes and we need food, then we can go back to bed. promise."

 Yashweh, Fyr, Alice, Kilala Yashweh smiled, looking at Saegthin. "Sankyoh." Saying thank you was weird in their language. Thank you, but it kept sounding like Sankyoh. Saegthin smiled. "You're welcome. The both of you." and waved bye before looking at the one earth user and five women still in his kitchen. "Seconds for anyone?" and looked as a plate was offered, from the goat. "Coming right up, Miss." and took her plate, slowly filling it up before looking at Nix. "You're welcome, Princesses." Martha clung to the girls as she was led out. "I'm not dead." she murmured. "Got lost." "Well still. You should have stayed close to us. What are you even doing outside?" "Nothing." Martha murmured, holding the sketchbook close with her free hand. Annabelle looked at it but didn't question further, sighing as she realized they'd have to go up stairs. "Come on, we're halfway there. Left foot up." "I think it's good she's surrounded by so many." Alice said, "Kind of like how we're always surrounded with each other." "And moreso now that we're pregnant!" Fyr said, "it makes me happy. Even Kilala's happy! And we have to show Henry the eggs!" Kashi sighed as though moving was the worst thing in the world, but he managed to climb out of bed and stand on his sore legs. "All right. To the bath."

Oliver lead the way up to the prince's office, not sure he would be there. he knocked before opening the door, only to find it empty. "they must be in their room." he said, frowning a little as he made his way to the room, "Sorry." A sniffle from the crib had Leo awake and moving before he noticed.Yuki sneezed and Leo smiled a little, picking up the now fussing baby and cuddling him. Rin was awake too, and now he was awake, he realized he was hungry! "Time to feed the little ones," Leo said softly, lifting Rin as well and taking them to the bed, "morning, Daddy, hold them while i get dressed please." Nix shook her head and moved in front of Martha, taking the other girl onto her back and carrying her like that, "alright, let's get you to bed." they moved a lot faster now, and soon were heading into the princess' room, walking quietly in case Emily and Justin were still asleep. "just on her bed?" Nix asked softly. Pix got up, "right, i should bring them over. first i need to get the room ready. will you be showing us to our rooms or do we need to find someone else to help us out with that?" Pix asked Henry. Kaira nodded a little to Alice, "it is nice to be a part of a family again."

 Yashweh, Fyr, Alice, Kilala "That's okay. I mean they might still be sleeping. They were dancing late last night." he pointed out. "I like how they love each other's company so much. I've not been seeing much of that. Everyone here is so happy. I hope when I go home they'll all be that happy again, and we'll throw a festival. I'd bet you'd like to see a festival wouldn't you? Have you seen a festival?" he asked, following him down the hall once more. Elliot barely reacted to the sneeze, ear perking before lowering again when deciding it was harmless. The man under his arm shifted at the noise though, now gone leaving the king alone. "It's barely lunch time." he murmured as the babies were placed on the bed. He moved though, his head being placed on the mattress between their bodies, arms moving and curling around them and keeping them close. Then his own stomach gave a hungry growl. "I could just sleep it off." Though after the exercise last night he really should eat. annabelle nodded, moving one arm away from Martha to open the door. Emily was still asleep, but now she was curled up close to her pillow while Justin was spread out, head at the foot of the bed. "Now that there's more room he can do that." she mumbled, moving Martha onto the bed and sitting her, taking off her shoes. "You just need to warm up." Martha's feet were still cold, the socks soaked through. She stood to get a new pair. Saegthin grinned at henry, looking away as the man looked up to scowl at him. Henry made a dragon lay eggs. Ha! Henry was so fertile. "Of course." he said, shoving the last piece of syrupy meat in his mouth before standing. "As much as I'd hate to locate you women upstairs," Away from him, oh no the horror, "That is where majority of our available rooms are and I'm sure you would all like to remain as close as possible." "But you sleep downstairs." Alice said, "I'll come by to wish each of you a good morning." he said, walking up the steps. "We'll be pregnant and you'll waddle. You expect us to walk up stairs?" "You're a goat, Kilala," Fyr pointed out, "Your kind walks up the sides of mountains."

It hadn't really hit Oliver until that moment that he would most likely be going with the King and Prince back to those deserty lands. his hands began to sweat at the thought, even though he knew he would be safe, it still made him nervous. "the babies will be waking them up soon." he said softly as he approached the bedroom door. sure enough, he could hear one of the babies from the hallway. "poor guy's hungry." he knocked on the door, waiting to be called in. Leo was dressed and collecting a rather angry Rin from his father when he heard the knock. he'd not sent for any milk yet, who could that be? "one moment, please," he called before poking Elliot, "go and get dressed, your majesty, unless you wish to receive visitors in the nude." Nix guided Martha back into bed, they could put her socks on there as easily as anywhere. she slipped into bed on MArtha's side and snuggled close, using her body heat to warm the other. "go ahead and put your feet on me." she braced for the cold, wanting to help her friend. "You should move to one of the rooms next to ours," Pix said, grinning, "then we'll all be together. won't be fair leaving us all alone upstairs with the babies while you get to sleep all easy peasy downstairs." Kiara nodded, "that would be best. i do like seeing you," she added with a smile at Henry.

 Yashweh, Fyr, Alice, Kilala"A house cat requires ten hours of sleep." he said, shifting his position and forming into a lynx. "I require at least twenty." with a large furry paw he dragged Yuki closer, curling around the babe and dozing off again. "Come in." he called, his ears stayed alert. Yashweh rocked on his heels, waiting for Oliver to be given permission, and when they got it he walked in after the blonde. "What's that?" he asked softly, looking at the large silver creature on the bed aroudn the baby. "We have little sand cats in Latia, and more towards the woodlands we maybe see a cougar, but I've never seen one of these before!" and he cautiously walked closer, realizing it was carefully curled around one of the babies. He wondered if it was the baby-sitter. Annabelle looked at them, wanting to get into bed but wanting to do other things. "Is, is it okay if I leave you alone with her?" she asked, tucking them both in tightly. Martha shifted closer to the Falian, legs moving between Nix's and placing her socked feet over the warmer ones. "Sorry." she murmured. "I do far too many things on the ground floor to have to waste an extra four and a half minutes walking down stairs. Secondly, it is rule for the serving class to live on the second floor, so you are out of luck." and began looking at the doors, mind working quickly before opening one and walking in. "I'm sure I can find a way to sleep just as restlessly as the rest of you. Now this bedroom and the ones to the side and the ones across are all free. Make your decisions, ladies." Fyr pouted at Henry's words, "But I want a nice big bed so we can all sleep." "When you're pregnant it's easier to lay on your stomach, Fyr." Henry said, "Not all of you can cling to me comfortably while on your sides. I'll go fetch some pillows to aid you with that." Probably in a few weeks, when their bellies were a bit more obvious.

Oliver lead the way in and stared in shock at the King, :That is King Elliot." he said softly, "he's part lynx." he was glad to see his master again, he got nervous if he was away from the kind man's side for too long. "forgive us, but Prince Yashweh wished to ask when he should expect to be leaving? he is worried for his people." he translated what he said so Yashweh would know as well. Leo rolled his eyes at his husband, changing first Yuki and then Rin before ringing for milk. it seemed they wouldn't be able to get it for themselves, not with the boys here wishing to speak. The babies couldn't wait to eat like adults could. Nix nodded, "that's ok, see you later." she smiled at Anna before stroking Martha's head, "sorry for the cold feet or for going off and not telling anyone and then staying out all night? because i'll forgive you for the feet, it might take a little while for me to forgive the other." she had been really worried! Kaira sighed softly, "so you are our only in title, we don't even get to take turns sharing your bed?" Pix rolled her eyes, "we'll take turns, whether he likes it or not. sorry, honey, we like to snuggle, so i hope you get used to sharing a bed soon." she winked before opening doors and finding a room she liked. it would get sunlight all day long and would stay nice and warm. "Welp, i've work to do. come get me if you need me." she went inside and started to make it habitable for the eggs. she had a bag that could hold almost anything you put inside and she brought out several plants before sticking her head back out, "Kiara, when you pick your room, mind helping me grow the pen?" Kiara had looked around and found a good room that she liked. "already finished, i'll be right there." she kissed Henry's cheek, "thank you for showing us our rooms." she went into Pix's room and soon half of it was filled by a tightly woven basket Kiara grew from the plants. it was tightly woven and four feet deep. this was filled with sand from the bag and Kiara watched as Pix placed a spell on it. soon it was emitting heat. Kiara stepped out, the heat a bit too much, but the thick walls of the castle kept the heat from slipping out into the hallway. Pix nodded to herself, now all she had to do was have a shadow demon take her back to collect the eggs.

 Yashweh, Fyr, Alice, KilalaYashweh's hand was inches from the furry snout before pausing. "This is King Elliot? I'm so sorry I didn't mean to pet you like an animal" This was an amazing ability! He'd never seen anything like it! The silver eyes opened, cat stretching before sitting up. "We can make plans to leave for tonight," Yashweh backed up. It talked! The King could still talk! "But that is the earliest we can go on such short notice. As much as I would love to go sooner many of our staff will not be awake until lunch." Within a few minutes the bear-eared made had walked in, holding four bottles of milk. "Sorry for the wait. It's starting to get crowded in the kitchens." And held out the bottles. "these two are hotter because they'll be the second feedings. So if they'res till hungry after these bottles, those will be cooled down by then." "Cold feet." the girl mumbled, "and I didn't want to stay out all night I got lost and couldn't find my way back." Henry chuckled, "I will share my bed with you, and later in your terms I will come up to keep you company." he stayed out in the hallway, watching the g women move around to choose their beds. "Fluffy!" Fyr said, belly flopping on ab ed and rolling herself up in the blankets. "I like this one. Though it could use a bit more pink." Alice chuckled, opening another door and peering in. "Your obsession with pink is almost frightening." She looked around, wanting to make it more like her little home back in Falia. She would need lots of branches though, and Henry may be too tall for it if she obtained what she wanted. Oh well, she could get rid of the bed frame. Kilala had sat on her bed, pausing finally before bouncing lightly. She could jump and kick on this bed and no one would know. "How strong are these frames?" "Rosewood, incredibly strong." Henry responded, making sure all the women had found a room. "Should I bring anything up or take anything out?" "My entire bedframe." Alice said. "And the curtains." "The curtains are heavy and keep in warmth," the man said, shaking his head, "You need those."

Oliver quickly translated Yashweh's apology and what Elliot said. he was glad and scared they would be leaving so soon. he wasn't ready to go back there yet. Leo smiled at the maid and took the two cooler bottles, "that was very thoughtful of you, thank you." he moved them to the bed and sat down with a baby on either side, feeding them at the same time since Elliot didn't have hands to do it with. Nix shook her head, "no going out at night anymore. even if you wan to go dra birds, it's not safe. at least take someone with you next time." Pix smiled and kissed Henry's cheek, "i'm going to go get the babies. i heard that the demons were going to make a permanent portal here, so they don't have to go back and forth, but it's going to be a while in the making since they have to make it secure. can't let just anyone come into Falia. anyways, i'm heading out, see you in an hour or so." she waved as she left, humming softly. Kiara smiled and went to her own room, "this is fine for me, thank you. you are very kind to offer, Henry. would you like to sit with me while the others figure out what they want and don't want?"

 Yashweh, Fyr, Alice, KilalaYashweh listened to the translation, nodding and smiling. "That's great! That really is thank you so much!" He took a step towards the lynx and paused, looking at him confused before looking at Oliver, "Do I kiss his paw as thanks instead of his hand? Do they do that here?" He hadn't seen it happen, the customs here were weird to begin with. Like the silverware. Chelsea smiled back, about to leave but noticing leo was doing all the work, "Would you like me to help? Dad taught me how to handle babies." Henry nodded, pausing to hold her face and kiss the corner of her mouth. "You be safe. have Hasta or Pasa help you I trust them." and waved back, hearing something crack in Fyr's room." "I'm fine!' came the call. "Fixing stuff!" "don't break it those are expensive!" he snapped, going to check and realizing it had been a handle of the dresser. He stared, her large ears going limp against her head. "We can fix it." he said, shaking his head, checking on Alice. She was asleep again. He only stared, looking at the bundled thing on the bed. She'd just been awake a second ago. "Mice require lots of sleep, as they give birth to large litters." Kilala said. "I'll be fine, but Alice will need a lot of stuff out of her room. She'll be awake in a few minutes it's a power nap." "All right..." he murmured, looking at the mouse, white ear flickering before Henry left. "that'd be nice. I'm already growing stressed." and sat down beside her, thankful his hair was already white.

Oliver shook his head "you just bow here." he had been a little confused as to the lack of kissing of hands or feet too, but he was getting used to it. "he says thank you. we shall go, now, we do not wish to disturb. we should leave, they are busy." Leo looked at her and then at Elliot, "if you wish, i wouldn't mind. a certain someone was too lazy to get dressed and now can't help feed the babies." he let her take Rin, since he had the easiest time with other people. Kiara slipped her hand into Henry's and leaned her head on his shoulder, "You will grow used to us. the first couple of days is always stressful and i admit, we are a bit of a demanding group." she giggled and lifted Henry's hand to kiss his wrist, "but i think we'll all find our little groove soon enough, it's not like we are useless, we can help around the castle."

 Yashweh, Fyr, Alice, Kilala"Just bow? That's not disrespectful?" but he bowed anyway before turning to follow Oliver out. "Really? None at all? I'm glad I haven't done it to anyone yet, none have asked but I figure for a king."Chelsea chuckled, watching the lynx collapse back onto the bed as she took the babe and the bottle. "Everyone is a bite tired. But he should wake up soon you need to prepare." "When I grow my spring coat." he muttered. "I have a hard time adjusting." His wife, while energetic, had not been so to such a degree. "But I'm sure you are right. It will take time." But he was old, and he wasn't sure how much time he had. Even looking at the back of his hands he knew his time was coming within the next few years.

Oliver nodded, "it-" was it ok to speak so openly? the prince hadn't seemed to object so far, "it was strange for me as well, but they are less-" he searched for a word, "rigid here than in Reta. where would you like to go?" the prince didn't have anything to pack, so Oliver wasn't sure what he'd want to do while they waited. Leo chuckled and shook his head, "lazy bum. Fine first day as King this is, spending it lazing in bed." of course he was teasing, "though of anyone i know, you've earned it." Hasta had brought Pix over with her eggs, moving them as gently as possible even though they were carefully encased in sand within her bag, but even a shadow demon didn't want to piss off a dragon mama. once he was sure she was delivered safe, he hurried up to Leo's room, wanting to see the babies and hopefully startle Elliot awake. he opened the door a crack and peeked in, looking at the bed and seeing Leo up with Yuki and Elliot sprawled out on the bed in his lynx form. he grinning and teleported from the door onto Elliot's back, "Morning!" he laughed and quickly got out of swiping range, only to see the bear eared maid far too late. "oh, uh," he put the smile back on his face, "hi there." Kiara smiled and stroked Henry's hand, "we are Falian, Henry, we have nothing but time. you would be surprised.' she kissed his cheek and looked at the hallway, "pix is back. want to see the eggs?" Pix was carrying the bag very carefully in her arms as she walked back to her room. she just wanted to be safe. she smiled at Henry and Kiara when she saw them in Kiara's room and went into her own to transfer the eggs to her nest, cradling them in the hot sand to keep them cushioned and hot.
