"huh? Hiro...Hiro.." She said almost in a daze. "Ah. Yes." She looked at him. "If you promise." She squinted her eyes and puffed out her cheek. "Ah. I have all the stones now. One for Hiro, Da.. And Your sister." She said brightly and took some steps forward to where her home was- Her father was a pirate after all and already taught them the ways to know where 'home' was and if they ever got lost.
"Jajajaja~" She bobbed her head to one side then the next as she took a few steps ahead of him.. With one tree she stood on her hind legs and started clawing up the bark in a light concentration then headed back towards him, and slipped in between his legs. Being as close to him as possible but then again, she did this with KimiHiro and SOMETIMES her father but on rare occasion. Her tails swinging from under him...
She looked up at him still in the same step as him. "Teasing? Whats that?" then she remembered all the kits surrounding her and her brother. Jeiyana's arm getting burnt and the kits yelling and trying to hurt her. Shaking the thought out of her head quickly like a bad dream~ She kept along him, staying now minorly quiet.

Belial thought a bit about his response. "Well in this case it was me playing at being sad for your attention," he explained quite honestly. When one of her tails brushed against him he purred. He was worried that she was so quiet and decided to pull out his gift.
He stopped suddenly and made like he was nibbling at an itch on his paw and nudged the red-black stone out of its hidding place.

Rennoa kept walking when he stopped then when she finally didn't see his over casted shadow she stopped and turned around quickly. Airhead. Bounding off to him and settling herself in front of him, curiously looking at him.
"Is Belial hurt!? No worry my home is close my home is close!" She looked worried and took a hold of the paw he was itching at. "Whats wrong?" She looked completely out of the norm when she was worried. "Did something get in between your bracelets? " She looked up in to thoughs same eyes. Blushing a bit then quickly looking away from him- not knowing what came over her that instant. Her tails quickly got the clue as they all curled around the arm that was gaining attention. "Lemme see Lemme see!"

Belial purred silently to himself, as she shyly looked away when their eyes met. "Not hurt, it does seem something was stuck. I forgot what I did with it, I found this for you." He pushed the stone toward her with the opposite paw, since the one he had been scratching was now eveloped by her tails. They tickled him but he held in the laugher trying to be serious. He hoped she would like the little gift. Perhaps then she wouldn't forget him as some daydream. Proud as he was, it was important for him to be remembered.

"AYYAEEE!" She took the stone quickly in to her paws and nuzzled it softly. "Ren is most humbly thankful!" She hugged it tightly.. "Thank you Belial ne~" She unwrapped her tails around his leg then looked up at him. Looking at his stitches to avoid eye contact.. Which made her feel odd.
"I will make it in to a necklace.. Like Da did with the stone he gave to Ma." She nodded- Remembering silently when her father told her how he ended up with their mother. "Silly Da..." She said looking at the stone. "It reminds me of you. The red and black." She pointed out then jumped and threw her arms over his neck- nuzzling against him. "Thank you..I treasure it. Always!" She happily smiled at him, freely letting go, sticking the stone in her maw as she padded forward a bit. Stopping briefly so they may return to pace to her home.. Which wasn't far off now. She could hear the spring.. and water splashing. It HAD to be her fishy friends! Or -or the bunny! She quickly padded on forward and slipped through the bushes-
A few steps in and a pile of rocks made up its own kind of cave.. A spring in front of the pile of rocks.. Stepping stones.. And all. It was the only marvelous thing she could think of as home. She turned around to see if Belial had followed her in to the bushes. They were large, decorated in spring flowers every which rock that had build their sturdy home.

Belial held her close with one paw for a moment when she leapt up to hug him. The they were off again, the child leading the way to her home. She was back to her bubbly self which please Bel. He wondered what had caused her earlier silence. A chuckle escaped him as he followed into the bushes that would have been a hazard to his sister, but it was a quiet ulaya that took in the place and smiled at Ren. "Is this home then?"

She hadn't noticed that he was a lil bigger compared to her going through the bushes. " She wagged all her tails as she let the free one take the stone from her maw. "Heh. Home! I'll get some sea weed to put on your bracelet if its still bothering you. " Not knowing it was just a gift and an act. She skipped along in front of the opening of the cave. "Da! Hiro!" She sang softly.. No answer... "Da!!!" She chirped and still no answer.
She looked back at Belial. "I-I think they went away.." Her ears went down. "No worried though they'll be back!" She sat at the opening flailing her tails around and in the opening setting all the stones down and holding out the stone for Bel's sister. "Would she like it? You sure right?" She couldn't make complete eye contact yet.. Her heart pumping like if it was gunna come out of her chest plate.
Tsu hurrying along as he took his time looking through every cave. He ad set off to find her a few moments ago.. His steps out in to an opening. "Ah.. what trouble some.. Too bad her siblings went with their mother out." He gave a sigh then trotted his way back to his home lightly. Taking in consideration what he taught her.. to always find her way back- she was a strong girl.. He knew but couldn't help but be worried.

Bel looked around with growing concern, no one was around. They're probably looking for her, he thought his tail lashing slightly. "My paws find little one, it just itched a lot having the stone there," he assured her. He edged closer to the cave to claim the stone for Isoke. "I'm sure she'll like it. After all the hard work of choosing; she'll love it." Though I'm sure she'll be laughing at me when I tell her about this. I hope I make it out of here able to laugh with her. Again he looked around ears twitch hoping to hear her family arrive. "Is there somewhere else we can look for them or do you want to stay here?"

Rennoa leaned against him. "Da says that once Ren finds a familiar place, stay there and let the winds of found seek the land. For what was lost should then be let found." Humming a wordless song that her mother used to sing to her.. then. Her heart sunk.. Something.. She just noticed, she looked up at him. "Where is Belial going...after? Do you need a place to sleep..?...." Then she felt the void and had to say something. "Belial wont forget ren would he!? An An the promises!?" She by this time got on her hind legs and clung her front paws around his arm. Looking up then hiding her face in his fur.
"Right Bel won't forget...right?" Eyes pleading~
Tsukurou had slipped past the bushes now and settled in the outer clearing. The blur of his daughter's color then- a darker shadow. Quickly his hind legs made the leap as he quickly got up to the spring.. The spring separating them... Looking across it to the male and his daughter. In one side he said 'pff safe' then on the other was 'An older? friend maybe?' He thought a bit and calmed down- his mane settling against his body as he made his way slowly around. His paws solid and his strength from his body flowed gently as the humble Ulaya was still cautious.
"Rennoa." He said solid- seeing her cling to his arm then followed by what she asked.. His ears going up and towards them.

Bel nuzzled her and grinned at the poetic response. He again wondered what he father would be like. "Ok so we'll be staying here," he replied sitting down.
"No worries Ren. I'm a wanderer I'll find a nice place, though hopefully I'll run into Isoke first," he allowed his worry for his adopted sibling to show on his face. Then he blinked is yellow eyes at her questions. He was so surprised he didn't even notice the approach of the other adult ulaya until he heard Ren's name. He didn't have time to reasure her; he needed to think fast. Tsu didn't seem angry, but now was not the time for assumptions.
Belial did give Ren a slight nuzzle as he stood and took a step toward the other male. He gave a respectful bow of his head, after all this wasn't his territory. When he looked up again he called upon all his charm and grinned, "Good day, I asume you're this lovely little girl's father?"

Tsukurou watched the male.... then rose his head high before bowing it lightly.. "Ren." He said once more before the child skipped over to him and hugged his leg.
"Hi HI Da!"
"Where were you?"
"Practicing!"
"Ah.. so thats what it was..." The male then finally looked up at the male.
"Thats Belial. He saved me. Twice!" She lifted up to tails in sequence of this.
"Ah.. My utmost gratitude then... Our family extends are best then." He lightly pulled Ren in before looking down at her. "Did you say thank you?"
"Course Course Da!" She skipped over in front of Bel and nuzzled against his leg. "Right Belial. Right?"
Tsukurou pulled his head up and lightly smiled. "That is our love child. Rennoa Manami. Yes, I am her father..." His ear twitched at the talk of either leaving or finding a place. "I was a wander too.. I assume you could not pass up a place to sleep? Come then.. We will always have a place for my daughter's hero." He quietly made his way towards the opening of the wave, disappearing in to the darkness. After a few moments a couple of places lit.. Tsu came up to them- carrying a large knitted blanket.
"Come Rennoa, fix up a bed, for our guest." He smiled lightly to him.
"Ok Da!" She looked up at Belial with a bright smile... then trotted off. All three of her tails disappearing and only re-appearing when the light touched the cave.

The simple acceptance was overwhelming. "Yes she did thank me, and we spent some time picking out pressents before I accompanied her back," Belial replied, also waiting to remind Ren of the stones they had gathered. "I think she might be needing some swimming lessons if she's going to go practicing around water though," he suggested with a chuckle so it was more a friendly suggestion than pointing out a lack.
He watched her fondly as she interacted, and there was a slight flare of jealousy over the family interaction. He licked nervously at his paw at the mention of making a place for him for the night. "I... I don't want to intrude, really you don't have to go to any trouble. I should at least have a look to see if I can find my sister. She'll be worried." Of course it was more likely that she was lost herself and would find a cozy place for herself with barely a thought for him....

He lightly calmed as Rennoa kept going back and forth to one spot then another. "Its no trouble really. It would be our pleasure to serve you at least one night of warmth. If you like. We could leave the bed made and wait for your return if you want to look for your companion. "
"Da! Its his SISTER." She plainly as in defense of him.. and on top of everything she was convincing herself that it ~was~ a sister. Sister. Yea thats it.. She took up a blanket from fluff her mother weaved together and brought it to Belial. Looking up at him. Twitching her ears as he heard him talk to her father. Did he not like being here? "I don't need swimming lessons because Belial said he would protect me." She said lightly to him without letting her father hear.
"Swimming lessons you say...?" His ears twitched at the word swimming then heard. "Ah yes.. I haven't gotten around to that. I said I would be teaching them day after 'morrow. Did I not Rennoa." He said looking at her accusingly. "And I said before then you shouldn't be near a big body of water. "Right." He lifted a brow at her.
The child's ears flatten against her head. "Yes Da.I... think Ren forgot.. I sorry.." She turned to look at him then bowed her head. "Ren will remember next time. Promise."
The male gave a sigh. "So what would it be then Lad. The night is young... I personally like the darkness.. To roam so if you were the same.. then Rennoa would have to see you off.. It is your choice. There will always be a roof here for you." He nodded and looked at him with his one single pale eye. The other patched as his turned and took stride in to the cave yet again.
"Belial... " She said softly. Nodding she hurried over to her pile of stones she got for presents. "Da.." She set one aside. "Ma." She set another aside. "Hiro.." She set a all blue one for.
"Hm? More stones... Heh." He chuckled some then made his way beside belial. Sitting on a rock overseeing the small spring in front of their home. "Ah I remember... The stone that changed my life." He turned to Rennoa and watched her. "I think I carried it over the next generation.." His ears lowered as he relaxed a tiny bit but still cautious.
"Da.. I got you one too! One that has colors of all of us!" She smiled brightly and padded over to him. Leaving the stones where they were.
"You did, did you." He gave her a light smile. "Did You give one to Belial." He smirked- for he had told her the story. Of their mother and him being bonded with a stone.
She blushed softly. "If Belial goes can Ren come too?" She looked up at Belial before padding over to him, nuzzling her cheek against his arm, and waving her tails about. Then she turned to her father. Shaking her head 'no' to his question.
Tsukurou smiled softly "Affectionate she is..." He sighed and chuckled to himself. Hm? He saw her head shake and laid himself on the rock finally. "I see...~" His tail wagging lightly.

Belial was sorely tempted to stay or to look for Isoke and bring her back. Then he looked toward the bushes through which they had entered. It would only prove awkward for his antlered sister, and he didn't want her and Ren to meet like that.
He whispered to Ren, "You should still learn how to swim. Its really fun."
"Yes she is," Bel replied to Tsu's comment, "you and your mate are very lucky. I envy you. " He nuzzled Ren gently. "I'm sorry little one but I really should be going." He turned back to her father, "I do thank you for the invitation. I'd love to return when I find my sister but for her moving through bushes at night would be a bad idea. You'll meet sometime I'm sure, so you'll see why," he grinned. "I hope you don't mind if I stop in from time to time to visit with Ren. I have a promise to keep." He smiled reasuring at her making sure she noted that he would not forget.

He nodded lightly, then put a paw on Rennoa's stomach, pulling her away. "You can visit here any time you'd like. Let the Gods repay you then with their blessings on your journey. " He smiled lightly then looked down at Rennoa. "Let the Ulaya leave. He is an adult.. and. You are not sadly." He chuckled and nipped at her ear.
"But but Belial!-! " She tried to climb over her da's paw as she struggled to get to him. "Belial!"
Tsukurou pulled her in to his arms. "Heh.. You really dun want him to go. Seems you had made friends with my kit... A promise?" He looked at her then at him. "I bid to meet your sister then.. " Holding in restraint the pestering kit that wanted to leave. "Rennoa Manami. If he says he'll be back. He'll have to see to his word. You'll see him later.. yes."
She seized to move.. She looked up at the male.. Before her. She didn't know why she was so against his leave. She wanted him here. The first time being as selfish at any time in front of her father.. She stayed quiet.. A blank stare at him.. Then turned her face away.
"Hm? I don't know what has got in to that child.. She never acted this way before." He gave a sigh and bowed to the male. "Farewell then. We look forward to seeing you... And don't worry. Rennoa will be ok as soon as her mother and siblings come back." He nodded and lightly got up and walked in stride in to the deeper of the cave.
