Evelyn blushed immensely and took a few steps away from Ruji. "Shortstraw.." She hissed a little and looked down to the stairs where Shortstraw had escaped. "You b*****d." She looked back to Ruji and furrowed her brow. "I'm sorry about him.. he's a little.." She frowned and looked away. "I helped him and Kiera a lot in the past.. I think he feels like he owes me." She scratched the back of her neck. If there was one thing she was uncomfortable with, it was being pushed into things that weren't at her own pace. She was a woman who liked to do things her own way, and when this wasn't the case she felt increasingly uncomfortable. Like this. She looked almost sad. "Sorry.. uh.." She looked ready to run away.

Ruji chuckled, "it's fine. It is only natural that he would try from time to time to be involved, being that you were for him." He nodded and turned to head to there room, finally to take the things out of his pockets and relax, "he is a good boy. You did well." He finally went into the room and sat down ont he edge of the bed, slowly opening the chest he got some things from before. Inside it was a series of drawers that opened up with the chest's lid. He started to put the items into the drawers one by one. He was in little thought now, but he was calm, and taking his time. he understand Evelyn was uncomfortable when she spoke of those things, he didn't want that. For now he would, perhaps silently read, and do research to make it all easyer on her. Finally he pulled out the little black book he put into his coat last moment before. He stared at it for a few minets and opened it up. it was a hand written jurnal it seemed, but in anchant writing. Rujis' writing. He smiled at it, reading a few parts,and skimming past a few pages. He dated the a new one and started to make the odd simbols, now in his own little world.
Meanwhile shortstraw ran into joch down stairs, in the kitchen to be more precise. He was trying to make up a sandwich it seemed, "hey...". He stated plainly. Shortstraw nodded, "Whats up? Heard something happened, or at least it seemed that way. You three been gone for a while. Vacation?" Joch pulsed and stared at the sandwich. Shortstraw decided just to move on, but just before walked out, Joch spoke up, "how did you do it?" Shortstraw turned, "do what?" Joch turned and looked to him, "you a human too. How... did you become so... everyone likes you. Look up to you, and your the smallest one here... well not anymore..." he looked back to his sandwich and decided to leave it be. But shortstraw leaned on the counter, which suppize him. Shortstraw spoke in a low tone, "I had help. Through all of it. Everyone knows that. Sometimes you just have to trust your gut, others you have to decide to do what you can. It all depends on the situations, and how far you can push yourself." Joch nodded, "there are only certain boundrys i can never reach..." Shortstraw nodded, "trust in hana to help you through that." He patted jochs shoulder as he got up to leave. Joch just stared at him as he did so. Seemed even another human didn't understand his perdicument...
Moments later, joch walked to hana's room and knocked, "i ummm... brought you a sandwich. Been three days since we got to eat so..." He shrugged not knowing if she would answer, she could be asleep for all he knew.

Hana sat up in her bed and pulled a face. That was the first time Joch had come to her like that. And it wasn't like she was sleeping either. She liked to reflect by lying down in her bed and staring at her ceiling, before everyone else went to sleep and she got up again as one of the night life. She shuffled to the door and opened it, to find Joch standing there with a sandwich. "O-oh." She looked confused but slowly took the sandwich anyway. "Thanks I guess. I hadn't thought about eating." She looked away. Now it seemed she was slightly embarrassed to talk with him again after their last talk. He'd seen her while she was vulnerable, and Hana didn't like that. Hana didn't enjoy people seeing under her hard exterior. "I guess it helps that wolves can stuff their faces and not eat for a while after. But I guess I'm hungry after all that."
Evelyn sighed and brought her hand to her face. "Jesus Evelyn you're hopeless, after all these years." She said to herself before she walked into the room after him and took down her hair, letting it loose over her shoulders. "What you want to know about where children some from.. it's not really something you can just read and learn about and understand, okay? Truthfully, it comes from something deeper which could take you a while to understand. It's all about the chemistry between the two people that want the child. A lot of the time it happens without the hope of a child included too."

*Looked up to her from his writing and blinked, "i am confused however still. I''m sorry, but what is Chemistry? And how could wanting a child, happene without a child?" He thought about the last one though and figured out he answered his own question, "oh. Well i guess servces of the children givers would want something in return. Some people would not have that something maybe." He closed his book and set it aside, he noticed her hair down again. He would never get used to it up really, it looked better when down. "Perhaps i am more confussed because I'm looking at it deffrently then i should be, like i was before on many things." He chuckled, "i did not mean to make this a complicated question. But i have learned a lot that surround the subject. I've learned in the past from you that women are equipped to take care of children better then men. I've learned what marriage is, and the reason behind it. And that there are no storks... although I'm alittle confused what a stork is in the first place. I figured it was some kind of large four legged animal that runs fast." He smiled cutly without meaning too. He started to take his coat off, feeling no need to ware it. It was a newer thing he had been doing latly. He's finally gotten to the point where he was relaxed and felt he could take his coat off because there was no danger here. He got up and put it on the hanger on the wall.
Joch nodded and handed her the sandwhich, "well i figured shifting forms so often would take a lot of energy or... something." He shrugged and bit into his own sandwhich, "I'm so hungry i could probably eat enough for five." He smirked and gave her a nod, "welp... guess that's it... i'll be in the room if you need anything..." he had a hard time saying it as if she would need anything he could actually do for her. He turned and headed down the hall, just realizing he didn't make siliva a sandwich. Hey she kicked him, she didn't deserve a sandwich anyways.

Evelyn rubbed her forehead. "There are no children givers, Ruji." She walked over to him and took his hands, looking to him seriously. "Listen to me, all right? Chemistry in this context is the emotions that two people have for each other and the way they respond to each other. For an example we have good chemistry because we get along very well and respect each other. We have similar, pragmatic minds and we think of things very similarly." She smiled with a sigh. "When two people have this kind of chemistry there's lots of ways they might wish to express their appreciation of each other. You see people holding hands and kissing, well that's kind of similar on a smaller level." Her expression became softer again. "But when their chemistry is really strong they express it more physically, more personally. They see each other at their most vulnerable." She looked to the side. "Except for when you see people like Hana. I'm sure she's done it with lots of men she didn't care about." She looked back to him. "It's sex." She shut her eyes. "I can't.. explain this to you. It's something you must experience to truly understand. A product of sex is the chance that the woman may be pregnant. The baby grows inside of them until they give birth. So that's why they don't come from storks, you see?" She then snickered slightly. "Storks are birds, too. Not four legged animals."
Hana pulled a face and called after him. "Wait." She walked out of her room and looked to him with a frown. "You wanna go for drinks somewhere? I mean.. not the scummy place we usually go but somewhere proper. A bar in town or something. I don't know." She looked away. "I need something to drink."

He turned with his hand on the doorknob, and a half sandwich sticking out of his face. He quickly chewed and swallowed with a choke in which he had to beat his chest alittle to regain himself from eating so fast. But finally he looked to Hana, "well... i don't think drinking is a good idea for me... but if there games, I could go for one or two i think." He shrugged, he could relax while playing a game. And he hoped she wouldn't try to get him drunk again. He closed his door and nodded, "didn't know there was another place like that in town." He waited for her to walk beside him so that they could head down the stairs, "you don't need like... a spechal pass to get in do you? Because when i went to vagus once, all the casenios there that were big time, were all spechal, and you could only get into them if you could purchase a stock of some sort as a investment. So most people could only play in the lower places, in which usally cheated in a lot of ways." He chuckled, "funny that. They was cheating everyone, and yet i still won that game. before the cops showed up and a large fight broke out... anyways..." He started to remember the moment more clearly, kinda was a bad trip in vagus. Why would he bring that up in the first place. Huh.
Ruji blinked, like computing all her information. BUt finaly he rose a finger, "i understand!" He did however poke her, "but how does a child fit within someone who isn't fat? If the baby grows, the that would mean the women grows, and that would mean she would have to have the space in the first place right?" He chuckled, "well who needs storks anyways." He nodded and spoke in a lower more soothing tone, "seriously i think it makes sense. It is another step from what i have already learned while being with you." What he didn't know, was if marriage ws the next step, or the baby thing. Which was suppost to come first? It didn't matter he was satisfied, he took her hand and gave it a soft gentalmens kiss, "perhaps someday I will be experience enough to learn this... "sex"." he put his hands on his hips, "i mean I've come a long way already, i think I'm at least halfway there!"

Evelyn sighed and rested her forehead on his shoulder. "It's not as simple as you're making it out to be." She brought him into a hug however, something she'd often do when they were together. She enjoyed being comforted by someone who was larger than her, and his warmth made her feel cozy. "It's something intimate. A lot of people refrain from talking about it because of how sacred the act is for them. But I think everyone experiences it at least once in their life." She nuzzled her face into his shoulder. "The woman's belly stretches when they child grows. They're often left with stretch marks after. The fact that women go through these things is miraculous in itself."
Hana chuckled. "I went to Vegas when I was smaller with a guy I travelled with. He hated it because I was spending all of his money. I never have good luck." She grinned and walked on. "Com'on lucky boy." She lead them both into town and to a higher class bar than the one they usually went to on the scummy side of town. There were humans and Yokai alike in this place, unlike the mainly Yokai dominated population of the last place. And it was... less dirty. "Barman I need whiskey in my hand right this second!" Hana announced as soon she walked through the door. The large barman laughed and started to make her drink. "Good to see you princess. This another one of your guys?" Hana grinned and put her arm around Joch's shoulders. "This guys part of the family now, he needs to win me some card games!"

*Joch never really ad a girl fling her arm over him, but he kinda liked it. and when she mentioned him, winning a game for her, he finally felt like there was something he COULD do. He rose a finger, "i warned everyone here. I'm really good, hardly ever loose if at all~" He smirked, ready for the challenges to begin~
Meanwhile Ruji chuckled, "ohhhhhhh i thought it grew... elsewhere. Ehm... sorry." He chuckled and held her there, he liked hugs. And she was the only one he ever got one from, and he always wanted to pur for some reason. "Evelyn... when the time comes, will you grow a baby for me?" He smiled and looked past her shoulder, "i'll do anything... stop asking questions if have too..." he added with sarcasum, "i'll even... do this." He kissed her cheek and smiled to her, "i belive this is the time i say the words, "i love you. Yes?" He smirked. ((HE"S A PLAYER! lol))
Meanwhile Eve had come slowly into the house, holding herself a bit. She was still warin gher torn clothing, and looked as if she was beaten up real back. Still had dirt on her face... She found lilly, "excuse me... is siliva here?" Lilly was shocked to see eve, she didn't know eve was actually alive... and looking much like kid... "Eve?!" She went to hug eve, but eve waved her away, "please don't... it already hurts..." She replied in a low voice. Lilly nodded, "upstairs with kyle, conner and kirro." Eve nodded and headed up the stairs slowly, vary slowly in her condition. Finally the door opened slowly, as everyone would look up, Siliva's eye lit up and eve feel to her knees to accept her doughter, finally in her own arms.

Hana spent the night getting horrendously drunk as she usually would, watching Joch play games against Yokai who inevitably had no chance. They'd started a crowd towards the end of the night, baffled by how this man could keep on winning every single game. Hana however.. tipped her limit. There was a fine line where Hana came with drinking. And it was almost impossible for her to tip over it with the tolerance she'd built up. But since Joch came she'd been drinking less and less, and this one time she sped right over her limit, and was in a place of no return. She needed to be escorted back to the castle before something happened to her and she ended up in some other guys bed like she used to when she was younger.
Evelyn looked to him suddenly with wide eyes as her face reddened again. "I really don't think.. you understand the consequences of those kinds of words.. nor the impact.." She looked away, face fully red now. "And I don't.. I don't even know if I'm capable of having children.." She slunk back a little, now even more embarrassed.
Conor watched on with a small concerned look. Who was this woman and why was she hugging her friend? Only Hana and himself could do that. It worried him, he could see the bond there. Would this get in the way of him and Silvea? It made him sad to think about it.

Ruji pulled back alittle, "oh crap! I forgot... you were a demon, demons cant... I'm so sorry i didn't mean." He drooped his head and morphed into his cat form on her lap, "I'm tarrably sorry Evelyn i didn't want to offend you or anything like that i just... was speaking out is all." He looked up to her with large kitty eyes, "i do understand what i love you means, and i mean it though. Children or not." He now felt tarrable. That's why she was so uncomfortable about this, he was so blind to it. He would have to find a way to make it up to her, maybe change the subject. But to what?
Joch almost didn't even notice hana was that messed up, until he turned around and she was... acting like a whole different person then he knew. He assumed this would be the time to step up. He came to her quickly and grabbed the bottle in her hand, "hey... i think we're done here..." He replied carfully taking the bottle away from her hand and putting it aside. "... lets go home. Ummm... siliea might be waiting..." he wasn't sure she would even follow him at this point, what if she didn't. Oh god what would he do then! The family would hate him for letting her just... go around like this and him returning home alone. No... he couldn't do that, he really needed to see if he could get her to come with him. He took her hand and tugged twords the door, "come on..."
Eve held Siliva so long and hard it felt like it would never end. And siliva was happy to feel her warm mother again. "Silvia I'm so sorry i havn't been here for you. I promes i'll stay for a little while at least okay. I'm so sorry." Eve was almost crying, this was all she wanted the whole time since her death. two and a half years, and this was the first time she could actually spend time with her doughter. Sure she was worried for hiyo... but siliva would come first, that was something they always agreed on. Siliva however suddenly wiggled free from eve, which broke her alittle bit. Siliva jumped, "yay! I got so many things to tell you mommy!" Conner was lifted up by a bunch of her tails and lifted over to them, "this is conner he's my bestest best friend~ we just saved him from bad people." She added. Eve smiled, "hun it's impolite to lift people up with your tails. Siliva looked to conner, blinked, and shrugged, "he don't care i do it all the time. He likes my tails because they fuzzy~" She said cutly. Eve chuckled and nodded, "it's nice to meet you again conner, you have grown a lot since i first seen you with kirro." She shrugged, "guess your Uncle kyle has been teaching you to be a good young man huh." She looked to kirro and kyle, "it's actually good to see you too even."

Evelyn sighed and put her face in her hands. "It's fine. I'm trying to teach you all about this and it's not going very well." She laid down on the bed and carefully put Ruji beside her before she turned away. "I never really thought of having kids of my own I guess. They've always been.. a scary concept to me. I've always been so scared of hurting them or not being considerate enough. I've never thought of myself as being a good guardian, I mean look at all the things I got Kiera and Shortstraw into when they were younger. I was horrible, and I didn't care."
Hana was all over the place, chatting with everyone and being the life of the party, until Joch had dragged her away. Hana scowled to him. "Hey lucky boy why you bein' so grouchy?" She made a pouting face. "All I want is to have a little fun~" She grinned suddenly, poking his cheek. "Unless you wanna sleep with me too! I knew it!" She held her head high with a smug smirk before she hiccuped. "Everyone wanna take a rumble with the wolf eventually."
Kiiro smiled to Eve. "It's good to see you back Eve. Silvea's missed you desperately. Although Conor's done a good job of keeping her company. They're truly inseperable." Conor hugged Silvea's tails with a chuckle. "Fluuuufffy~"

Ruji nodded, "seems to be lession well learned now. You seem more prepaired for it, you realize what not to do." He shrugged his little cat shoulders, "i know... everyone is used to you being strong, and... whatever word I'm looking for to go with that. But with me, your really soft, and lovly. If you never try, you cant ever know if you can or not. If you wait too long, you might not have another chance later." He relized what he was saying wasn't helping, so he stood up and shook, before sitting down, "we are a good team. I'm sure we could do it, besides everyone says I'm like a kid all the time, and you handle me fine." He chuckled, "not that I'm trying to be like a kid... i swore it's not a act!"
Joch was practicly holding hana on her feet, and trying to keep her headed towords the castle. Did she just offer to him... when they got tot he castle, he struggled to get her up the stairs, not because she didn't wanna go, but because he was practicly walking with four feet, and two weren't sure which way they were going. At the top they passed the room Eve was sitting at, she turned and pouted at hana. Tipical Hana. She started to wonder if she tought siliva anything bad like that... oh god. She hoped not. She looked back at siliva, who was now talking to conner, "this is my mommy. She's really alsome! She's not around much but i loves her..." she was saying. Eve wasn't sure if her heart was broken, or happy inside. She smiled and looked back to kirro, "I'm glad she has a friend she can rely on." She stood and was reminded of her swore bones, "uhhh..." she replied using a wall to keep standing, "i'll be staying a while... by any chance could you do me a small favor kirro..." she walked in further and stumbled, but made it look like she ment to just sit down on the floor next to the wall, "could you... touch me..." she asked razing an arm. She needed kirros calming abiltiys, it would help a lot right now. Anyways, Joch got Hana to her room, and flopped her down on the bed. He took off her shoes, but turned to leave. He did look back, as much as he would love her offer... he couldn't. Not like this, he just wouldn't do that to her. He whispered, "goodnight hana." And stepped out, but second later came back in and put a bucket next to the bed with a smile, then headed back out, locking the door, just in case. Once out he stood there for a few minets, and went to bed himself in his own room.

Evelyn curled herself up and fell mostly silent. For once Ruji's laugh didn't reassure her. "I'm sorry I'd... just prefer to leave the subject for now.." She remained silently hugging her pillow. She didn't even know where to begin with a child, and it would mean babying not just Ruji but another being completely dependent on her. If this was possible. She was afraid more than anything that she might not be able to give Ruji what he wants in the end, and the limits of her care was just her. She started to doubt herself. Had she really come so far? It didn't seem like it.
Kiiro smiled and instead of just touching Eve she went over and knelt down next to her, taking her into her arms with calm embrace. "You've had yourself quite a time recently haven't you Eve?" She smiled as she gently hugged her. "It's all right. You're home now with your daughter and people who love you." She looked to Eve with a smile. "Do you want me to take you to your room? It's the kids bed time anyway." Conor pouted slightly and hid behind Silvea. He didn't want to go to bed when he'd only just got a little time to play with her.

Ruji came up near her face and nuzzled her, "okay. Just please don't be sad. We were so happy before." He laied down and put his head down beside her closing his eyes, he gave a cats yawn. What a day, what a day.
Eve looked to Kirro, "i... would appreshaite the help... it has has been a ruff few years..." She shied and looked to Siliva, "but... i would like Siliva to join me... if that's okay. Hana's drunk, and probably doing something she shouldn't and... i really don't want to be that distant from her right now... expechally right now. I need her." Siliva blinked and turned. She patted conners head, then hugged him, "night night conner. Now that we are all back, we can play in the morning~" Usally she would just sneak into his room when the grown ups went to bed. But the sound that her mom needed her, well she couldn't let her mom down, she looked really... odd. She never seen her mom like this before, and this was the first time in a long long time. Eve however as being helped, and Siliva's tails also helping, looked to the silent Kyle, "... kyle... later i would like to talk to you if i can okay... later..." she was ready to go get some rest, long needed rest.

Kyle watched them all leave with a small frown. He hadn't realised he was being so silent. He guessed the walk he went on earlier didn't do much to clear his mind. The thoughts of his brother haunted him. Conor hugged Kyle's leg and looked up to him, so Kyle smiled and picked him up. "All right my strong boy. Time for you to get some rest too. You've had a long day." "Why'd you have that look?" Kyle pulled a face. "What look?" Conor looked concerned. "Sad." Kyle sighed with a small smile. "It's time you went to bed."
The morning was long and tedious for a hung over Hana, not leaving her room since the night before. Only two other times in her life had she been that enormously drunk, and this was the first that she'd woken up in her own bed. She wasn't sick, managing to hold her stomach in miraculously. However she felt disgusting. She didn't remember anything that happened the night before, knowing that the night for her cut off after a round of shots that she hazily remembered. Some time into the middle of the day Hana emerged from her room under her bed sheets to hopefully go downstairs undetected by other family members just so that she could get some meat to eat. Meat always made her feel better when she was hung over. If it wasn't for the illness making her feel terrible enough, and the memory loss, she knew she must have been really brutally honest with Joch. When she was that drunk she knew that happened to her. She worried what she could have said. And, snatching a piece of raw steak out of the fridge she brought it under her sheet cave and nibbled at it.
