Its A Date...?: Part One

(( Done via MSN with Orpheus Solon ))

Kuyoja was wearing his traditional Japanese robes, and he had dressed Saedah in a more form fitting girls kimono for the occasion. He had promised the woman he would...'date'. And this was the best he could do with short notice. Dinner at his place, he had prepared a traditional dinner and Sae was a bit excited for once.

She got to dress up, her father paying special attention to her hair and her clothes before he went off to make sure everything else was ready. She was expecting Kliken to be coming...which made her a bit shy..she hoped he didn't brink his dragon.

Kliken was... unimpressed by the idea of having to leave home and head to the D-Corp building to meet up with his teacher because his mother had decided that she wanted to date the guy. It was less the teacher and more his fear of running across any of those frightening, violent older kids that he'd run across on the streets a while back. He hoped that he didn't have to see any of them between the front door of the place and where they were going. He lifted a hand to fiddle with his hair which was pulled back and looking neat... something his mother had done along with picking out a nice, matching outfit that didn't show his stomach like his favored ones did. At least she let his wear the pants that went only a little passed his knees and let him talk his way out of shoes. They were so uncomfortable...

He looked over at her, giving her a once over. She'd dressed herself up too, a nice dress that was sleeveless and a pair of something she'd called 'suicide heels' though she seemed to walk on them as easily as he walked barefoot. Lots of practice she'd told him...

The last one he glanced at was Tural and he gave a soft, sighing sound... he didn't understand why she insisted he wear a ribbon around his tail, something about it making him look cuter but it made him seem more girly then anything... that and from time to time he started to chase his tail in a valiant attempt to catch hold of the ribbon.

He lifted a hand to the item hanging around his neck then smiled a bit, glad that he was able to bring it along.

"Now remember Kliken, Tural, we are going to be guests in their house so let's all get along alright? And try not to scare his daughter, alright?" This was said to the dragon who looked almost like he was pouting at the order. Lucrecia gave a smile before she turned to knock on the door lightly.

Kuyoja had been observing the last of his preparations when he heard the door knock he straightened and then moved over to answer it. His hair was combed and he was wearing contacts...normally he didn't care for such things but he felt the need for some reason. When he opened the door he looked over the trio...it didn't seem like he lingered on any of them ...too long though he opened the door far enough and back up bowing to his guests.

"Welcome to my home." He murmured, Saedah wasn't too far behind him and she was smiling nervously though she bowed as well mimicking her father.

"W..welcome." She peeped, her hair was done up in a bun the blue ribbon was used to keep it tied. She hadn't noticed Tural....

Lucrecia looked the two over before giving a bright smile, "You look very handsome Kuyoja and your daughter looks quite adorable too." She said, stepping to the side so that Kliken could step into the room next to her with Tural shuffling in to stand next to him. He looked up at Saedah as though he wanted to go over to her, his tail started to wag wildly but as though he recalled what he was told by the woman he flopped down next to Kliken and waited for his opportunity.

Kliken knelt down to pat the Cruzoor on the head before he smiled at his dragon, remaining silent. He was here because his mother wanted to be but wasn't exactly feeling that social himself.

Kuyoja noted her high heels and her formal attired and nodded his head. They may of thought it was weird what they were wearing but it didn't matter to him...he was a very traditional man.

"You look very nice." He managed to say though his rather...stern face made it hard to tell it he was impressed he then gestured for the pair to come further inside of the house.

"Dinner isn't ready yet... hope you don't have any allergies." He mentioned as he half turned away to lead them into the small apartment.

Saedah tried to give Kliken a shy smile but as soon as she saw Tural her face paled and she swallowed a peeping sound as she felt her body start to shake. No no no he brought that thing here.... fearfully she found herself staring at the floor. What should she do? Flee? Say hello?

Lucrecia seemed to be quite delightedly with the compliment despite the fact that Kuyoja seemed to remain quite stern even while saying it. Traditional men... that they were still in existence in this day and age had her rather delighted, it had been a long while since she'd seen one like this. She stepped inside and out of her shoes so as not to scuff up the floor of his nice place though it did leave her a few inches shorter.

Kliken glanced over at the girl when he heard the sound she made and felt... sympathetic and some sort of kinship with her given his own fears of things, "He's been told not to scare you." He murmured, patting a hand against Tural's head and the dragon gave a chirp and a nod as though to agree.

Kuyoja paused as he heard her take off her shoes, luckily he still had some slippers for quests use. He moved to the closet and pulled out a pair that probably would be a bit big for her but would do. He knelt as he then offered to put the slipper on her feet.

Sae swallowed trying to hide her shaking hands behind her back when Kliken spoke to her . She looked up at him as if trying to avoid looking at Tural directly.

"...a....t...thanks." she murmured quickly though it was easy to tell she was still nervous about the idea of the dragon even being near her, "Uh..d..did..you ..w..want...to..see..m....my room?"

"That is quite kind of you, Kuyoja." The woman murmured when he knelt down to offer her a pair to slippers to wear over her stockings. She lifted her foot to slid it into teh one he was holding, "Kinda feel like Cinderella." She chuckled as she said, winking at the man before looking over at her son and his dragon.

"If your going to play you behave alright?" She told them.

Kliken looked up at his mother before nodding, "Sure, Saedah. Let's go see your room." He fiddled with the pouch around his neck as he waited for the snake girl to lead the way.

Kuyoja didn't reply to her Cinderella comment as he then stood back up as she now had some slippers on.

"Can I get you anything to drink?" he inquired to her before nodding his consent to his daughter to allow her to take Kliken to her room.

Saedah nodded her head in response to her fathers nod ad then...hurriedly moved off to show Kliken her room. She ...thought maybe in the presence of her room she could feel more brave.

"U...h..t..this..s..is th..the bathr..room." She motioned with a shakey wave of her hand as they moved down the hallway.

When the came to her room it was ...neat and tidy..not a thing out of place. All her stuffies sat on her bed, a small tea set, Japanese in style; on a small table beside her bed.

"h..here w...we..are.." She murmured as she quickly moved into her room and to the furthest wall possible.

Lucrecia starred at Kuyoja for a long moment, eyes flittering to his throat and the strong pulse there before she lifted a hand to smother a little giggle, "I doubt you know how tempting it is but we should wait until longer then our first date before we share a drink, Kuyoja Darling." She said with a grin.

Kliken nodded the followed along after her, looking over to Tural who shuffled along after them two of them. His little eyes went to the girl's tail and his tongue lolled out as he considered catching hold of it to taste it... he had to resist and be good!

The leech boy gave him a glance before he looked at all the of things that she pointed out, looking into her room. It was pretty he thought to himself, "Its... a nice room." He told her quietly.

Kuyoja nodded his head simply accepting her claim though he meant...like juice not alcoholic beverages.

"I have tea if you would prefer...though I was saving that til after dinner." He replied as he then gestured for Lucrecia to follow him into the dining room.

"so tell me about yourself. Outside of the classroom I don't see many of my students." The biggest exception being Orpheus and his crew of children.

Saedah coiled her body around herself as if she had mentally anticipated that Tural wanted to pounce her. She hugged her body as if she was unsure what to say at this point. What would she do if Tural wasn't here? She questioned herself.

Moving..hesitantly her gaze flicking to Tural and then her goal she went to gather her favorite stuffed animal, she then held it out to Kliken.

"T..th..this is..Mizuri." She murmured softly, the doll was of..a spotted owl plush.

She smiled and followed along after him, thinking on it. She wondered on how she was supposed to brooch the subject of her diet with him or more over the fact that her son was similar. She had brought him something to eat though and it was tucked away into her purse that was hung over one shoulder, "If your saving it we can wait." She wasn't sure if it were among his traditions and didn't want to upset such a thing.

She followed after him, looking around his place as they went, "You have a very nice place here." She murmured before looking at him, "It suits you. My place is a bit of an eclectic mess, things from every age gathered up and sitting on various flat surfaces."

"I am glad to see that I special in getting to see you outside of the classroom then." She gave a smile before tilting her head to the side, "Hmmm, about me? Let's see here... I am the matriarch of my family if you would believe that, though its a rather small group. Only five of us, my servant Than, my son, and Tural."

"Mizuri." Kliken murmured, looking the doll over. Seemed like a girl thing to have he thought and then seemed to think it over before he opened his pouch and showed off the item inside, a ceramic instrument that he carried with him everywhere he went. Since she was showing off her things he figured he should do the same, sharing might make things easier between them.

Kuyoja didn't comment about the having her see him outside of work. He felt more out of place now than he did teaching his students, not that he would ever admit that out loud. He wondered if she wanted anything at all and though he wasn't about to make her sit on the floor there was some pillows to sit on that were on the floor. He offered her a chair as he then sat down on the floor feeling more comfortable there. He sat his posture rigidly straight. One would think he had an iron rode strapped to his back.

"You consider your servant apart of your family?" He questioned making sure he wasn't getting the information mixed up.

Saedah tilted her head her curiosity getting the best of her as she looked at the instrument in his hand.

"w...what is that?" she asked quietly her gaze continued to flicker in Tural's direction as if she expected him to suddenly pounce.

Lucrecia took a seat on the chair, crossing her legs and let her hands rest on them before she leaned forward so that she could watch the man who was in front of her, sitting on the floor, "He is... more like a confidant and someone who does things for me when I can't do them myself. There are often times I am unable to go out and he will go out in my stead." She explained to Kuyoja, giving a smile.

He gave a smile as he ran his hand over it, "Its called an ocarina, its a time of instrument." He said, taking a seat on the ground. He patted the floor and Tural moved to lay down behind him so he could lean against the dragon, "Here listen."

Kliken lifted the item up to his lips, his eyes sank closed, and he set to playing a song for her, it didn't take long for Tural to chime in, singing along in his chirping, frog like voice.

Its A Date...?: Part Two

(( Done via MSN with Orpheus Solon ))

Kuyoja didn't feel it was proper to criticize someone on how they treated their hired help. He was sure that the man was a great asset to her, and there was no further reason to discuss the matter.

"You seem to be a brilliant smart woman, I find it hard to imagine you not being able to do anything." He expressed the compliment plainly as if it was an obvious enough observation not worth sounding impressed about. It was his weird way of ....flirting? Given who he was, the stern gaze the rigid posture...it was hard to say what he was thinking.

Saedah pulled her spotted owl plush to her chest as she listened to the music. She felt her eyes droop and she then closed them though the tune was unfamiliar she could gather the tune of it and hummed shyly along with it. It sounded nice...and the sound of it relieved her fears temporarily. The frog chirping sounds actually made her eyes snap open as she tried to figure out where it was coming from. When she figured out it was Tural she giggled nervously and pointed at Tural with a shaky hand.

"He...he...sounds ...like a kero..."

Lucrecia gave a bit of a smile as she leaned forward and watched the man as he sat there before she nodded, "Well as much as I wish I were as powerful as you make me sound everyone has a weakness." She said with a little shrug, "I thank you though for the compliment." He was a cute thing wasn't he? She lifted a hand to tap it against her chin in a thoughtful manner then asked, "Do you date often, Kuyoja Darling?" She asked of him, it seemed as though he were a bit stiff... maybe he wasn't one that went out often so maybe he didn't know what he was doing, "I promise that I won't bite... tonight at least, "She gave him a wink, "So you can relax around me if you like."

Kliken paused in the music, looking up at Saedah before he looked over his shoulder at the Cruzoor, "A Kero?" he asked, curiously not sure what that meant.

Tural seemed to perk up when he saw that she was pointing at him, his tail starting to thud on the ground behind him in an excited manner. She was looking at him! That meant that surely she liked him!

Kuyoja looked at her, his face still rather void of anything other than a stern expression.
"Relax?" He echoed the comment in the form of a question.

"I am relaxed. This is how I am. Were you expecting something different?" He asked wondering if she found him weird now. But that did't cause him to change his posture or smile....he was how he was. Stiff.

Saedah retracted her hand as soon as Tural's tail started to thump against the floor. She hugged her toy to her chest tightly trying to not bury her face into the fluffly faux fur.

"...Y..ye...es...a...K..kk...kk....keero..." She stuttered, she tried to clear her head and not let her mind spiral into a panic attack. "A..a...f..f.ro....og."

The woman did her best to keep from giggling, "I see, I thought maybe I was making you nervous." She said, then lifted a hand to reach out to him, running her fingertips through his hair, "Your hair is a beautiful color." She commented instead of saying whether or not she were expecting this or not. If it were how was he was then it just made him appear more interesting, like an enigma of sorts.

"Ohhh, I see... Yeah. He does sound like one those when he sings. He also makes a funny sort of huffing sound if hes excited in anyway." Be it good or bad when the Cruzoor was excited the sound he made was amusing to the leech boy. He leaned back more onto the dragon to keep him still since he could tell just by the sound of his breathing that Tural wanted to pounce the girl. Something that would end badly he was certain.

Kuyoja didn't move as she touched his hair, it was his hair...nothing new. He didn't mind having his personal bubble invaded by her, though he didn't understand her interest in his hair.

"Thank you." He replied formally his hands lay on his legs, rather than looking relaxed he appeared as if ready to jump up at anytime. The position looked...painful...but after years of doing it he was use to the feeling.

"Are you sure you don't want anything? I fear I am being a terrible host." He voiced his opinion in a very flat manner.

Saedah nodded her head giving a shy smile to Kliken.

"My papa calls them Keropi's. Bu...t..Kero..i..is the sou..sound they make." She murmured shyly as she hugged her owl plush more she shifted on the spot forcing her gaze to focus on the leech boy. "W...h...ere did..y..you get...get..th...at?" she inquired politely.

Lucrecia continued to love on the man's hair until he spoke and she drew her hand back so as not to make him feel uncomfortable... though she wondered if she would be able to tell if he liked something or not were she to do anything to him that he did or didn't like. She looked quite curious before giving the man a smile, "Of course your not a terrible host and you needn't worry... I should have warned you that I have a very... specific diet. I had to eat before coming so there is nothing that I need at the moment other then your company, Darling."

"That's neat, hear that Tural? You sound like a Keropi when you sing." He said with a smile.

The dragon gave a happy chirp, his tail starting to wag that much faster behind him and after a moment he did start to make the cute, huffing sounds that Kliken had mentioned he made. He wanted to go and give the girl love! This was the toughest thing ever having to behave and stay with Kliken... he watched her for a moment before he turned his attention to what was around him, trying to distract himself with something else.

"Hm? This? It was a gift from my mother back when I got over being sick." He explained, "I was... so bad when I first started but now I am not so bad."

Kuyoja nodded his head slowly wondering why she would eat before coming over for dinner of all things.

"I don't expect everyone to enjoy my cuisine but you could of told me what you eat, I could of altered the menu for you." He responded though he didn't sound annoyed he shifted on the spot slightly.

"Tell me what you do for a living." He requesting formally.

Saedah blinked as she looked to the Ocarina and then to Kliken her gaze skipped over Tural as if to help deal with her anxiety of him being there.

".....w..hy...." she started...if had been bugging her...everyone was so excited to get their dragons...but she wasn't. She didn't want to have anything to do with them. After her meeting with Baroness she didn't want to meet another dragon ever. Fidgeting on the spot she tucked a stray pink strand of hair behind her ear and then looked about her room.

"why....d..do...y..ou...l..like..?" She asked giving a vague wave in the dragon's direction.

"Your very sweet to offer that to me but shouldn't you ask about what I eat before offering to alter a menu for me?" She asked with a bit of a wink. She found him to be so sweet to offer such a thing so easily, then again she doubted highly that he often had someone like her over for dinner. She shifted to let her feet both rest on the floor, leaning forward a bit, "What I do for a living? Hmm... let's see here. For the most part I just take care of my family, I am from... very, very old money, " It wasn't a complete lie, "So we live quite comfortably." Aside from now and again when outsiders tried to mess with her family and made her have to give up her comfortable, easy life to deal with those sorts.

Kliken looked at Tural for a moment before he rolled onto his side to he could lean over the young dragon, hugging him before giving him a smile, "Tural kept me going" He murmured quietly, "When... things were very bleak for me... I knew that I could keep going because one day I would have him and he wouldn't ever leave me like..." He trailed off and lowered his head to rest it on the dragon's back, listening to the sounds of his breathing and heartbeat.

Kuyoja couldn't begin to guess what was so specific about her diet that he couldn't prepare it.

"I am the host. I would want you as comfortable as possible in my home." He replied with a nod of his head. He listened quietly as she explained that she didn't really work, not that , that was a bad thing.

"My family is fairly old as well." He started though he meant it as a lineage thing...though that was a bit broken as his mother wasn't of Japanese decent.

"Though my parents moved away from the tradition of keeping the bloodlines pure.." he mentioned as he fingered his red hair.

Chewing on her lip Saedah felt as if she said something she shouldn't of. She had touched on a subject that made Kliken sad...and she didn't like that. She slithered forward a bit...trying to be brave...but getting close to Tural was...hard.

"I..." she started and then she bent over to put her stuffy down and the outstretched her arms to Kliken in a gesture of wanting a hug, "I...m.m...may be...s..scared...o..if...T..ur..ral...b..ut...I...am..g..gllllad t...o hav...e...me...met you." she stammered horrendously.

She looked at his hair before giving a smile, "Probably a good decision on their part, many royal families seemed to suffer when they decided to keep things... pure." She said, sounding for a moment as though she had first hand understanding... which couldn't possibly be true. She leaned back into her seat, resting comfortably, "Bringing in new bloods keeps people strong." Not that it exactly mattered when it came to a family like hers... though adding new people to the family did seem to stir things up like when Kliken and Tural joined them.

Kliken opened his eyes when she came close before he blinked a couple times as she reached toward him, his body stiffened for a moment before he realized what she wanted and he relaxed. She wasn't a scary one at all... in fact she seemed like she just wanted a hug. He gave a smile and wrapped his arms around her to share the gesture. He loved hugs at one point, before people started to make him nervous so this was rather nice. He drew back when Tural started to nibble on his arm, gazing up at them with huge eyes that said he wanted some hugs too! The look caused Kliken to giggle.

Kuyoja nodded his head and then finally went to stand up, he wanted to get some tea ready as dinner would be ready fairly quickly.
"I am preparing some tea...would you or your son want any?" He inquired slipping his hands into his long sleeves he looked down at her whilst awaiting her answer. The talk of bloodlines wasn't his favorite topic...

Saedah enjoyed the hug even if she was trembling during it. She didn't want to be closer to Tural she was being very brave right now and when he moved to nibble on Kliken she retracted her own limbs a bit hasitly it could of been seen as rude but she didn't want Tural nibbling her, she backed up some...out of habit.

Lucrecia rose when he did, not wanting to just sit around and let him do all the work even though that was normally how things went at home. Than would prepare dinner and serve it for those that were eating that night and they would await that meal at the table. It was different when one was out visiting though, "I... brought food for Kliken." She said, patting her purse, "Due to what he is he is limited in what he can eat, the same meal as what a leech would eat. Most everything else seems to disagree with his stomach."

She sounded the part of a concerned mother as she glanced back toward where the children had gone, "It was why they had a tough time finding him a parent that would care for him long before bringing him back." She looked as though she wanted nothing more then to meet those people after dark... Then she put a more pleasant smile on her face.

Kliken watched as Saedah moved away from him and he gave a smile, digging into his pocket he took out a plastic baggy. He held it up for the snake girl to see, "Algae blocks." He held it out to Tural and the dragon licked it up before he set to chewing on it, "Its a good way to distract him. Want one? In case he comes over to you tonight?"

Kuyoja listened politely as she explained that Kliken too ate a special diet. He knew what leeches consumed and it didn't bother him.

"I can put his dinner in something so he doesn't feel strange eating." He mentioned as he moved towards the kitchen to gather the dinner together.

"I am glad to hear that he had a permanent home. You really care for him and that is something all children need." He said with a nod of his head. He recalled how he had ..at first been out of sorts with his own daughter. She had been terrified of him at first. Hid everywhere...cried a lot.

"I honestly was never sure they had gotten the right person to look after Saedah. She was so scared and timid..." He commented more offhandedly than making conversation.
Saedah shook her head rather violently at the offered algae block she didn't want it. No reason to invite the dragon closer to her by having his favorite treat.

"...n...no..t..than..t...tha..." She started with a tremble in her body.

"Thank you." She said, perking up before she followed after him. When they were in the kitchen she took out the blood bag and held it out to him, "It means a lot to me that you would help him out in such a manner." She was a little worried that maybe the little girl would end up afraid of Kliken if she knew what he ate but if he were to put the food in something it would help out a lot. She set her bag aside then and watched the food that he had made, "It looks good, wish I could indulge." It all smelled good too... made gaining a taste of that food through Kuyoja that much more tempting but she told herself to behave. She wouldn't make friends with him if she pounced him and took a bite on their first date after all.

"She seems to be doing really well though, especially compared to the last time I saw her." When she'd had to save her from Tural. Now the girl seemed to be able to at least deal with the dragon, "So you much be doing something right."

Kliken nodded, tucking them away, "I will toss him another one if he starts heading in your direction." He assured her, he half wondered if Saedah were going to get a dragon of her own... and what would happen at that point.

Kuyoja stirred the soup he had prepared as a entry...maybe they would just have soup and dessert. Making the large meal seemed a bit pointless now since their guests had such specific eatings needs. It didn't bother him. He was sure he could tempt his co-worked Orpheus with some of the leftovers. He gathered a couple of bowels and cups before moving to set the table . He wasn't about to force his quests to sit on the floor.

"we can put some in a bowl as well a cup if you prefer." He mentioned as he set everything up perfectly.

Saedah felt relieved and nodded her head, that would be good...if Kliken could keep Tural away from her. She wished the dragon would leave...only because she wanted to get to know Kliken better...but ws far too scared to get closer to him with the little dragon so close by.

"I...i'm s..sorry. I..d..don't...m..mean..t..to be ru..rude." she stammered feeling tears of frustration brimming in her eyes.

"That would be great." She said with a happy smile on her face and picked on of the cups out for her son and pour the thick, red liquid into it. The scent was tempting and he was glad that she had a good control over her desires and hungers after many years of training herself in such a manner... though the scent did make Kuyoja more attractive to her and made the sound of his heart become more clear to her as it did when she went hunting.

Kliken leaned back against Tural to remind him that he was supposed to stay with him even though he could tell there was nothing else in the world the dragon currently wanted other then the treat he was nomming on, "Hes actually not so bad but since you look scared I will make sure he is good." He assured her, not wanting her to think she were being rude but also wanting her to know that the dragon wasn't mean like... some others he'd seen.

Kuyoja continued to ready the meal as he poured two regular bowls of soup for himself and Saedah before moving to place them on the table.

"Are you sure you don't want any?" He inquired again out of politeness. Though he didn't want to push her into eating something he didn't want to leave her out either. The blood...didn't bother him it was being used to help nourish a rather unique child so it didn't bother him in the least.

Saedah shifted on her coils still nervous and unsure. She was being a terrible hostess...making things so awkward between the two with her fear of dragons. She lifted her head when she flickered her tongue out and 'smelt' the soup.

"....I ..t..think...d..dinner is r..ready." She murmured.

She gave a smile as she took her seat next to the one she'd picked for her son, "I thank you for your kind offer but I should be alright at the moment." So long as she kept herself in check that was, though a little voice in her head asked: What would one little taste hurt? She smiled a bit more brightly at the thought, wondering what he might taste like. It was dependent on his diet so seeing what he ate would give her a good clue.

Kliken looked toward where they'd come from, "Alright, should we go and join our parents?" He asked, hoping against hope that they weren't kissing again...

Its A Date...?: Part Three

(( Done via MSN with Orpheus Solon ))

Kuyoja had by now dished out soup in two bowls for his daughter and himself before he...out of habit set out tea cups for Lucrecia and Kliken and he poured the ..contents of the blood bag into the cup as well the bowl so he could feel more ...like a normal kid. Plus this way Saedah wouldn't get as freaked out if he treated it all normal.

Saedah looked towards her door and nodded her head slowly clasping her hands in front of her body she tried not to fidget but it was easy to see she wanted to leave the room but didn't want to go past Tural.

Kliken looked back and forth between the girl and Tural before he pushed up to his feet, stretched out before he motioned to the Cruzoor, "Come on Tural, you lead the way alright? Show us where Mom and her Dad are at?"

Tural gave a nod of his head, sniffed at the floor, then started on his way to find the woman and man... he caught their scents pretty quickly and hurried off to find them first.

The leech boy gave a little chuckle before he looked over at Sae, "He's still pretty young so hes easy to trick." He whispered, not wanting to Tural to hear him and have his feelings hurt.

Saedah relaxed visibly as soon as Tural left the room, she even gave a bit of a giggle raising a hand to her mouth as she then slithered up to Kliken's side and took his hand in hers and gave it a squeeze.

"T..thanks for that." She murmured happily, she was a very cute child but when nervous she tended to clam up with the dragon she suddenly had a world of things she wanted to ask and show Kliken, but it was dinner time so...if she was lucky maybe she could show him after dinner.

"Hehehe..lets head for dinner." She said with another giggle.

Kliken smiled as he looked down at her then started down the hall, "If he gets a lot to eat at dinner there is a chance he will falls asleep. He does a lot when hes full." He told her, he would see about feeding Tural a few of his algae blocks and maybe if there were left overs of dinner they could give the dragon some of that... well so long as the man was alright with it.

Lucrecia lifted her gaze when she heard the distinct sound of Tural's shuffling walk and exciting, huffing sounds as he reached her side and lifted up to lay his hands on her legs and his head on top of them. He looked up at her in a happy manner at finding her first before looking in the direction that he'd come from, waiting for Kliken and the nice, pretty girl to join them.

Saedah nodded her head slowly, it would be nice to have some alone time with the boy, to show him her toys and her favorite books, suddenly her mind was a buzz of all the things she could do with Kliken.

Kuyoja looked as the little dragon shuffled into the dining room and then basically 'claimed' Lucrecia. His gaze was dragged over to where Kliken and Saedah were coming and his eyes narrowed ever so slightly as he spotted them holding hands.

"Come we have dinner already on the table." He said with a nod of his head.

Kliken walked over to the table, making sure to keep himself between Saedah and the dragon so that she wouldn't get scared of him again. When he reached the table he reached a hand out to pat Tural on the head before he let go of Sae so that she could sit down.
He then moved around the table to take up the seat that his mother motioned for him to sit down in.

"Are you two getting along then? Isn't that nice." She murmured, not really all to bothered by the holding hands thing since she was just happy to see her son socializing again.

Saedah looked to Lucrecia and gave her a shy smile, she still thought the woman was so pretty, and she liked how she smiled. She looked to her father in a hopeful manner that the 'date' was going well. She would love to have a mother around. She clambered onto the chair and looked eagerly at the bowl of soup, though she wondered why her father hadn't put out more.

Kuyoja didn't comment as he sat down himself and then gestured for the rest to start the meal. He then went about pouring tea for himself and his daughter and poured Lucrecia a cup without asking as he still felt that he needed to give her...something.

Kliken looked down into the bowl and cup before him and his eyes widened at what he saw there, then smiled in a happy manner. They had set out his normal meal but in the dishes that they were eating out of. He couldn't help but feel rather happy at the fact that he got to be a part of the meal.

Lucrecia looked over at her son, ruffling his hair before she turned to look at the tea that was set out for her, "Thank you, Kuyoja Darling." She murmured, taking the tea though she wouldn't be able to drink it. It at least gave her something to hold onto while the others ate their meal.

Saedah waited with a small smile as she watched her father take his spoon and then as if giving her some sot of silent signal she went to gather her spoon and ladled some of the liquid into it. She hadn't noticed that Kliken's 'soup' was rather different from theirs.

Kuyoja wasn't exactly sure what they were going to do after dinner, other than talk. He supposed though if Lucrecia got bored they could end their..'date' there. But at least Saedah was getting some time with children close to her age. He often felt like it was his fault with his busy schedule that she didn't get to meet a lot of kids her age.

"Yum." Saedah said with a giggle as she attempted to NOT slurp her soup.

Kliken watched the manner that the two across from his mother and himself set to eating and he followed suit, eating his own meal without worry and without his normal fear that they might think badly of him because of what he ate. Normally the only ones that saw him eat were his family, Than, and Tural all of which didn't seem to mind at all.

"Good stuff Kliken?" She murmured to him, smiling when he nodded in a happy manner. She seemed quite delighted, on hand petting over the dragon who's head was resting on her lap. He was such a good boy though he looked a bit sleepy didn't he? Much be all the excitement and walking about.

Saedah continued to eat her own soup gleefully as she came to the last spoonful she politely put her spoon down beside the bowl and then looked at her father who was still slowly eating away.

So she looked to Lucrecia and gave her a happy smile trying to avoid looking at the sleepy Tural just so she could keep her calm state.
"How goes the date?" She asked hopefully.

There was a slight chocking sound that came in Kuyoja's direction as he lowered his spoon and then took another sip of his soup as if nothing had happened at all.

Lucrecia glanced over at the man, lifting an eyebrow before giving a soft laugh. So he did have reactions like that, huh? She couldn't help but find some delight in that, "I think its going quite well so far for a first date." She said to Saedah, smiling at her.

Kliken looked between the man and his mother, not sure what he thought about his mother dating one of his teachers. It seemed kind of strange to him but... if it made her happy he shouldn't complain.

Saedah nodded her head and then she leaned forward slightly using a hand to cup the side of her mouth as if thinking that could...prevent her father from hearing.

"Have you kissed again?" She asked hopefully, though she winced as she heard her dad clearing his throat.

"Saedah..." Came Kuyoja's firm tone, "Let Lucrecia enjoy herself. Don't pester her with questions like that." He stated plainly as he placed his spoon down beside his bowl signaling he was finished as well.

Saedah looked a bit crestfallen and then sat back in her chair still casing a look between the woman and her dad before she settled on looking at Kliken.

"Enjoying yourself?" She inquired trying to make pleasant conversation.

Lucrecia lifted her hand up to hide a giggle before she 'shielded' her mouth from Kuyoja and mouth the words, 'Not yet' to Saedah before giving her wink and lowered her hand back to petting Tural. She wondered if Kuyoja were embarrassed over the idea of anyone knowing he was kissing someone? What a cute thought.

Kliken finished his meal before nodding, "Yes, its been nice." He murmured.

Lucrecia looked over at her son before smiling, "I am glad that your having fun." The boy spent far to much time with just him and Tural hanging out in his room. He wasn't old enough to do that yet... he needed to be a teenager before he started to do such things if you asked her.

Saedah puffed one cheek out at the response that Lucrecia gave her, what were they waiting for? Why didn't they kiss more? Maybe she was just being impatient...cause she really liked Lucrecia...and so desperately wanted her to be her mother. Kliken was so lucky to have her as a mother.

"When your done I can show you my favorite game and books." She chimed as she tried not to look impatient as she tossed her father a look of 'get a move on' before she slid from her chair eagerly wanting to play with Kliken though she wanted to desperately talk to Lucrecia...but...Tural was in the way.

Kuyoja sighed only slightly as he then went about gathering the empty bowls.

"Saedah you need to wait for your guest to finish before rushing him off to show him your things." He scolded her lightly and the pink hair girl cringed and nodded her head mumbling sorry to Kliken.

Kliken was about to answer her that he would like to see her things when the man spoke up and he went quiet, looking over at him. He gave Kuyoja a momentary look before he turned his attention back to his food, eating quietly though working on finishing off what was left so that he and Saedah could go and talk some more.

Lucrecia watched her date, the poor guy seemed to have been raised to be so stiff... she wondered what he would seem like if he were to relax in the manner that regular people did. She decided to really get him to relax he would probably need to get drunk... the idea of the red head drunk caused her to chuckle to herself because she couldn't quite see something like that happening. He didn't seem the sort to get rip roaring drunk in the least, "You can always talk with me while he finishes up if you like." Her hands stroked gently over Tural and seemed to be causing the dragon to doze off as she did so. She looked up at Kuyoja, "Unless you need help clearing the table, Kuyoja Darling." She offered so as not to be a bad guest.

Kuyoja was raised to be polite to his guests, though his frigid nature was do to perhaps a bit too much training to gain a firm control on his emotions. He was nearly impossible to anger but he continued to clean he tucked his hair behind an ear and motioned that Saedah was to help him.

"No you are our guest, Saedah and I will finish cleaning up." He stated as Saedah knowing this moved to help her father clean up. SHe wondered why the meal was ...so short. Lucrecia didn't even eat anything.

"Bu...t..papa...a...are we..stil..l...g..getting d..dessert?" she asked a bit nervously.

He looked to her briefly before nodding his head.

"Yes Pumpkin." He replied and Saedah gave him a smile. Pumpkin was her special nickname that he only used on occasion. Feeling better she moved about cleaning up with no further questions though she gave Tural a wide birth before she reappeared from the kitchen and moved over to sit back down whilst she waited for Kliken to finish.

Kuyoja noted that Lucrecia had...merely held her cup of tea but he didn't comment on it. Perhaps she didn't like tea. It had been rude of him to assume she enjoyed it as much as he did.

"Perhaps later I can interest you in something else." He murmured as he took her cup gently.

Lucrecia watched the pair quietly and worried that perhaps this was a bad idea. It seemed as though the fact that she and Kliken couldn't eat normal food had ruined the meal for Kuyoja and his daughter. She leaned back in her seat quietly, her smile fading as she took on a more thoughtful look. She allowed the cup she had been hoping to be taken and she nodded, "Ahh, perhaps." She murmured.

The Leech boy was feeling a bit uncomfortable all of a sudden, looking over at his mother for some sort of direction but even she seemed to be a bit quieter then normal.

Kuyoja's expression never seemed to change as he continued to clean up, noting the sudden discomfort in the room though he wasn't exactly sure how it had occurred.

"Saedah, " he spoke then he looked a tad thoughtful as he tried to formulate the ...appropriate words.

"If Kliken is done eating you can go play. I will clean up the rest." He stated finally with a slight nod of his head. His contacts were bothering him. He shouldn't of bothered with them.

Saedah looked up to him and then nodding her head she looked to Kliken offering him a small smile.

The woman looked over at Kliken and motioned for him to go and play with his friend, "Go ahead." She murmured, rising her feet.

The boy looked at his mother then pushed to his feet so that he could go with Saedah, glad that the two of them would be able to go and play, to escape from the tense room, "Let's go and see that stuff you were talking about." He said with a smile.

When the kids were heading out the woman looked over at Kuyoja, giving him a little smile, "I am sorry if I ruined your dinner, Kuyoja Darling." She murmured.

Saedah wasn't exactly sure why the dinner got so tense she felt a bit sick in her stomach wondering if she accidentally ruined it. She didn't want to think on it. So instead she let out a sigh and folded her hands in front of her.

"Your so lucky....your mother is so pretty...and nice." She lamented as they headed to her room.

Kuyoja only looked to Lucrecia before giving a small shrug in response to her apology.

"It cannot be helped. Though if you had told me your dietary needs I am sure I could of accommodated for you." He replied simple as he half turned and gestured for Lucrecia to follow him.

"Come..we can take a small walk around...I have a nice view from our balcony." He continued waiting for her to follow.

Kliken looked over at her then back over his shoulder before he nodded in agreement. He was somewhat glad to see that the dragon had stayed behind, probably asleep at the moment... but it would let Saedah relax some. He relaxed when they headed into her room once more.

Lucrecia felt as though she were being reprimanded by the man, something that hadn't happened in a very, very long time. She followed after him toward the balcony with a thoughtful look on her face.

Saedah puffed out a cheek before giggling some as they entered her room again.

"Oh!" she stated the one thought in her mind suddenly flying out the window as she moved over to find her favorite books and games. She didn't have much electronic stuff so for board games it was a simple one. Snakes and ladders. She showed the boy it as she laughed.

"Papa gave this to me. Its cute...there are little drawings of snakes on the board and ladders too." she said with a smile and tilt of her head. She...was a much more different person when she wasn't nervous.

Kuyoja lead the woman to the balcony it was small, but large enough to fit two adults comfortably. The night air was a bit cool but he merely slipped his hands into his sleeves as he looked about and then into the night sky.

"When it is late enough you can see the stars from here." He commented.

Kliken gave a little laugh as he looked over the game, "Heh, nice. It has snakes on it." He murmured, she must love having a game with a snake on it. He looked over at the girl and smiled, "Do you want to play?" He asked, not really sure how to play the game but willing to learn.

Lucrecia turned around to lean against the railing on the balcony, looking over at Kuyoja for a moment before giving him a smile, "You know... maybe I was a little nervous." She told him, "Its been eons since I have been on a date and I didn't want to start off explaining my dietary needs to someone, especially someone that is so hard for even me to read."

Saedah looked very pleased at this idea. She had never played with anyone close to her age before. Kuyoja had...tried to play it with her, but...he...just...couldn't get into the game. She loved her papa but ...sometimes he could really ruin a fun game.

"okay I will set it up." she chirped as she moved to settle the game down on the floor and then began unpacking the pieces.

"what color you want to be?" She asked her reddish eyes looking at him with delight.
Kuyoja didn't seem to notice that he was being looked over and he only glanced at her before looking back out into the night air.

"Well it seems we have something in common then. I never really dated when I was younger." He replied simply though he suppose given how she said she was nervous he felt a bit in agreement on that.

"I am that hard to read?" he inquired softly as if he never really thought on that before.

"Food, is what it is. Regardless of its form...I am sure it couldn't be so weird that I wouldn't of understood." He continued with a nod of his head.

Kliken looked rather excited as well, he didn't get to play with people nearly enough. In fact he just had been hiding out of late hanging out with Tural and a lot of grown ups... this was going to be a delightful change of pace compared to what it was that he was used to doing for entertainment, "If there is blue I would like to be blue." It was one of his favorite colors.

Lucrecia gave him a little smile, "A little hard to read, yes." She murmured before he gave a little smile at his comment about food, "I see, well its tough. Not everyone can understand and some have even hunted my family, killed members of it just because we are different."

She gave a soft sigh, "Its become a lot easier when Than came on, hes an understanding sort and helps us out greatly... though I am sure many wouldn't quite understand his lot in life or why he does it willingly." Than was a good boy, so willing to serve her family in any way needed of him. In return they took care good care of him for his faithful service.

Its A Date...?: Part Four

(( Done via MSN with Orpheus Solon ))

Saedah was thrilled to play this game with someone who actually would enjoy playing it. She excitedly set up the pieces and handed Kliken the blueish game piece before claiming the red for her own.

"Now you roll the dice...and you move your piece the number that shows on it." She explained, "If you land on a ladder you move up to the adjacent square, but..." she gave a giggling sound, "if you land on a snake you will slide down to the square it is joined to." She continued, "The point it to get to the top square first." She concluded before she handed Kliken the die, "You can go first."

Kuyoja listened quietly as she explained though what she could possible eat that would cause people to hunt her and her family down he couldn't be sure. Drugs? No...that didn't seem right.

"If you don't wish to discuss it we don't have to." he commented sending a bit of her unease.

Kliken listened to the rules before he gave a nod of his head, "I see, sounds simple enough." He said with a smile, he should be able to do this! He looked at the die that was held out to him and he took it carefully from Saedah before giving it the first roll. It rolled along and landed on a three. He counted forward that many steps then gave a laugh as he just barely missed a ladder, "Almost."

Lucrecia glanced over at Kuyoja for a long moment, tempted to drop the conversation right there but figured since it was on the table she might as well, "Oh believe me, this isn't something that I bring up in friendly conversation often. As the leader of my family its my job to look after my group, saying out loud who we are means that I am putting us in danger." She leaned her head back so she could look up at the stars, "You don't seem like a hunter though, they have a certain scent about them of old blood and death... your free of that so I feel like your safe to talk with."

Saedah nodded her head as she watched Kliken move his piece across the board. ...it hadn't dawned on her until this moment..that it would be nice to have a sibling. Someone she could play with snuggle with..sure Papa was good but he wasn't exactly the snugly type.

"My turn." she chirped as she picked up the die and rolled it. A one. She laughed gaily as she moved her piece one square.

"That was a terrible roll." She giggled.

Kuyoja just listened, he was good for that very good as listening to people talk without asking a million questions or interrupting. He was a patient man, though he felt the hairs no the back of his rise ever so slightly as she spoke. The way she spoke made it sound like her family was the dangerous sort. He wouldn't judge but he turned to look at her; his gaze looked her over as if trying to piece together what she was telling him.

"I am flattered you feel you can trust me." He spoke finally though it didn't sound like he was flattered...then again that was just how he was.

Kliken giggled, "I am sure you will do better the next time he said with a smile as he got the die again and gave it a another roll to see where he got this time. He rather liked this... it was a lot more fun to play games like this with a friend then just hanging out alone. He was happy that he had been allowed to come along on his mother's date to meet Saedah. He was glad that she seemed less afraid this time as well.

The woman tilted her head to look over at him while leaning back on the railing and gave him a smile, "Of course, I wouldn't be able to date someone I couldn't trust." She said with a little laugh before leaning forward. The man was kind of cute wasn't he? The way he could speak of such things without the blink of an eye, "You really can be sweet can't you?" It was hard see but... she wondered if she spent enough time near to him she could be able to better read the man.

Saedah nodded her head as she watched him move his peice and then took the die and rolled as well. Yes...much more fun with Kliken than her Papa.

"Kliken..." she started as she found herself rather shy...
"D...do you think my papa and your...mama....will....get married?" She asked softly.

The red haired man didn't think he had been sweet...he had...just stated the facts...then again he wasn't the best person to know how dating and flirting worked.

"If you say so. I am just stating the facts." He murmured as he ...looked back to the night sky.

He wondered...and yet he didn't really want to think badly of the woman, but he somehow had a feeling her diet was also the reason he had only ever seen her at night.

"Perhaps next time I won't invite you to dinner...perhaps we could go to a garden instead."

Kliken's eyes went wide at the question, "M-Married?" He asked, tilting his head to the side, "Umm... I... don't know, maybe?" Was his mother thinking about marrying the man? Wasn't this their first date? Shouldn't they wait a little longer? He wasn't sure why he was worried about the idea... he just was. The idea of his family that he was so used to getting changed suddenly caused his stomach to do a flip flop.

Lucrecia tilted her head to the side, "That would be nice, so long as we could find one that is still open after the sun goes down." She murmured, "I know there are some night time flowers but not sure if there are enough for a garden that we could visit." It probably depended on the one who was growing it and what was growing in it. She gave the man a smile as she watched him and started to wonder on what he'd said earlier. He said he didn't date much when he was younger... she wondered if how much he really did get around women. That question led to other curiosities but she did her best to keep from voicing out loud some of the things she was wondering.

Saedah fidgeting with the hem of her sleeve. She had...asked a bad question didn't she?

"b..but...if they..d..did...I..w..would be..your..s..sister." She said trying to lighten the conversation as best as she was able to. Awkward. She needed to learn a bit more about social etiquette apparently.

"I know of a few places that are open later in the evenings." He replied cooly looking her over noting her features, if it wasn't such a studious gaze one would of thought he was checking her out.

"That is of course if you wish to go out again with me." he asked sounding as if he wouldn't be surprised if she turned and fled at this moment.

Kliken perked up a bit at that idea, "Really...?" His eyes went a bit wide before he gave a little smile, "That... that would be neat." He wondered what it would be like to have a sibling. Just getting to play with her was a lot fun so the idea of her always being there was a rather nice idea, one that made him smile.

Lucrecia gave a bit of a grin, "Of course, Kuyoja Darling. I am rather enjoying myself and would love a second date with you." She said as took a step closer to the man, reaching a hand out to stroke it over his cheek, "So long as you are alright with it."

Saedah felt relieved at Kliken's sudden change in attitude. That was great! If he was excited as she was to get a sibling...as well for her a mother than that was awesome. Of course...that meant she would have to deal with Tural.....But then again apparently she was suppose to be getting her own dragon... the idea made her shudder.

"I think it would be neat too." She murmured shyly.

Kuyoja looked at Lucrecia as she stroked his cheek. Was this acceptable behavior on the first date? He wasn't sure. Touching his cheek was alright. He took out a hand from his sleeve and then ...strangely enough returned the gesture his larger hands were gentle. It was a strange thing to behold him...touching someone. Though emotionally he may as well of been a robot.

He gave a smile at the idea then found himself wondering what would happen to the rest of the family, to Than if his mother married the teacher. Hrm... would Kuyoja and Saedah come to live with them? It was a curious thought that he found himself thinking over it, "I guess... we will have to see." See what happened with their parents.

Lucrecia seemed a bit surprised over the fact that Kuyoja was returning the gesture. She lifted her other hand to lay it against his hand to keep him from escaping now that he was opening up somewhat, at least physically anyway, "You know Kuyoja Darling, we are dating now so you can be as friendly as you like." She whispered, giving him a little wink.

Saedah nodded her head as they continued their game, though in her mind having a mother and a brother which was a bonus would be wonderful. She would just have to deal with the dragon....

Kuyoja looked at her as she basically pinned his hand against her cheek. He blinked at her comment, friendly? He was..being accommodating wasn't he?
"I am not sure what you mean." He stated as he gently went
to remove his hand. The lingering touching was something that should be for later dates.

Lucrecia couldn't help but smile in a delighted manner, he really was far to cute when he wanted to be... even if he probably didn't mean to appear as such. She took a couple steps forward, shaking her tactics when he move her hand, sliding it around him so she could tug him in for a kiss. She would need to be more... hands on she thought, to show him what she meant by friendly.

Kuyoja noted the change as she neared coming in for a kiss, he turned his head and then rather firmly put his hands on her shoulders to stop her from proceeding.

"It may be a bit too soon for such things." He murmured, and it wasn't that he...was dead in the world of arousal but he was so firmly routed traditionally..kissing on the first date was a no no.

The woman couldn't keep a little pout from her lips, truly he wasn't like any man she was used to dealing with. He was so very well trained by his family in their ways she thought as she looked him over. She seemed to be debating on it for a moment. He seemed... very against the kissing thing didn't he? So cute how he was acting since they had kissed once before. Then again that had been a surprise attack on her part.

Maybe it was best to stick with such tactics as that when it came to overcoming his rather perfect guard? She looked up at the way he was looking away and found her eyes drawn down to his throat... and gave a bit of a smile. Oh but he was being far, far to tempting wasn't he? It didn't help that the food he'd cooked had smelled good and that he had an interesting scent himself.

She did her best to step in closer to him, pressing in closer to the male though not trying to kiss this time instead she gave into another urge... Than was going to be unhappy over the idea of him tasting someone unknown and potentially dangerous.

He wondered if he hurt her feelings, it wasn't that he ..didn't want to kiss her, but he felt it being their first date it just wasn't appropriate. Soon he found her pressing her body against his. Was...that a faint blush across his face? He tried to move a bit away but the balcony was fairly small..and she was in the way of the door.

"We shouldn't be doing this." He murmured slipping his hands back into his sleeves trying to keep them out of trouble.

Lucrecia rested her hands on the railing of the balcony on either side of the guy before he looked up at him and blinked a couple times, feeling almost guilty. He was... blushing? And withdrawing his hands into his sleeves and looking as though he were trying to hide within his robes from her. She lowered her head to rest it against his shoulder. Were she a male of her clan she would pounce on such an adorable meal but instead she felt like she were being mean to him... last thing she wanted to do was abuse the poor guy. She lifted her head up to press a kiss to his forehead, "If you need time, I can give you time... I have all time in the world for you to get more comfortable with us doing such things."

Kuyoja nodded his head though he still felt a bit pinned to where he was. He felt like...he hadn't properly entertained his date...and by turning down her advances he didn't mean for her to think he didn't find her attractive. So ..after much deliberation he slipped his hands free of his sleeves and then using them he cupped her face and then tilted her head so he could kiss her forehead lightly.

"Thank you." He replied as he then dropped his hands back to his sides and ...waited for her to move so they could go back inside.

Lucrecia's eyes widened before sinking half closed at the kiss that she received from Kuyoja, rather surprised by it but at the same time quite pleased. She blinked a couple times when he dropped his hands and drew back to look at him before smiling, "Mmm, shall we go check on our babies, Kuyoja Darling?" She murmured, moving back so that the man could have his breathing space back.

Kuyoja nodded his head though his mind seemed to be a million miles away. What he was thinking under the calm mask of his was anyone's guess.

"Yes...let us check on the children." He murmured, it was obvious by his rather soft tone that he was still...a bit ...stuck on the kiss.

She looked over at Kuyoja for a long moment before he turned to head inside with him, "Perhaps its time for Kliken, Tural, and I to get going home." She said, looking over at Kuyoja and gave him a smile, "If your feeling up to a second date I would really like it... and I will do my best to behave as well." She gave him a wink before walking over to the sleeping dragon, kneeling down to give him a
little nudge to wake him up.

Kuyoja noted it was getting fairly late, though he wondered if Saedah would be wide awake after playing with Kliken.

"yes it may be best. Saedah needs to get plenty of sleep." He commented before moving to get to Saedah's room.

"Saedah, its time for Kliken and his mother to go home." he announced as he entered her room.

Sae looked up a bit surprised and pouted. Already? Their date couldn't be over yet could it? she looked to Kliken and gave a small sigh.

"Gu..guess you win. You were further." she said after a moment.

Kliken looked over at his mother before giving Saedah a smile, "We can play again later if you want." He said with a smile, hoping that the two of them would get to see each other again. The meeting had been a lot of fun! He pushed up to his feet, made sure that his Ocarina was in its pouch where it should be, then smile, "I had a lot of fun Saedah."

Lucrecia smiled at her son, so happy to see that he'd had a good time tonight as well, she held a hand out to him, motioning for him to come over to her, "Have a wonderful night Saedah, you too Kuyoja Darling."

Kuyoja nodded his head to the pair before looking to Saedah who hurriedly bowed to them.

"T..thank you for co..coming over to..p..play." She hurriedly said and Kuyoja then turned and bowed to Lucrecia as well.

"Yes. We will get together soon." He replied.

The woman gave a smile before she laid a hand on Kliken's shoulder, "Lets get going I am sure that you and Tural both should be getting to bed." She told her boy with a smile, so much excitement was bound to have the pair quite sleepy. Lucrecia was eager to get home and get something to eat... hanging out around Kuyoja had her stomach all but growling now. The pair each gave a wave before they moved to fetch Tural so they could be on their way.

[Kuyoja]

When the envelope had arrived at their door he had contemplated filling it out for his daughter. He knew what this meant..it meant that a dragon wasn't too far behind.

Looking over his shoulder he watched as his adopted daughter was playing tea ceramony with the one doll she owned. How she treasured that small token. Dressed in its own little kimono with straight black hair it was perhaps the length of his hand. A small doll for sure.

He knew he'd have to show her the letter sooner rather than later...may as well get it over with now.

"Saedah," He started as he moved over towards his nervous little girl.

Saedah looked up instantly, her respect for her father was deep, considering she had found him terrifying when she first to live with him she had growned accustomed to him and was comfertable finally.

She stopped what she was doing moving her doll so it was propped up properly before turning her attention fully to her father.

"Something came for you," Kuyoja stated as he handed her the envelope, the look of surprise on her face wasn't a comfort. Mail? for her?

Reaching forward the small snake girl took the envelope and then carefully opened it up. Slipping the sheets of paper as she then went to hand the one covered in words back to her papa.

Though she was a good reader, it was a bit daunting to read all that. She stared at the second sheet, the picture of the egg on it causing her lower lip to tremble.

"Papa, what is this?" She inquired slowly quietly, turning the sheet to face him.

"It's a form you fill out Pumpkin." He responded as his eye's skimmed over the letter, feeling his hope sinking. About to hatch? He looked around their apartment and wondered if a small dragon would fit in here.

Saedah looked a bit hurt, she knew it was a form...she just didn't know why she had to fill it out. Why he was using her nickname for this sort of thing made her more nervous.

Relunctantly she read over the form, ignoring the egg for now until she read the questions that were asking about it. Her heart began to thud in her chest.

"P..papa...I ..I don't want it!" She declared as she threw the peice of paper in her father direction before turning back towards her tea party. She was shivering, the idea of just thinking about the egg...being forced to talk about it ...it ..it..she just didn't want to!

Kuyoja bent over to pick up the thrown peice of paper and then moved to his daughter and patted her head,

"Come on Pumpkin...you should at least fill it out. It would berude to ignore it." The red headed man explained, and watched as his little girl seemed to wilt.

She didn't want to be rude...but at the same time she really didn't want to fill that paper out. After a moment the girl caved and took the paper back. Going to the table to answer it despite not wanting to.

She had done her best to try and get away, but her father had found her brought her back and then tried to calm her panic stricken little girl. Though she was older now and she knew that this had been coming for a long time, still she had denied it. Unwanted unbidden this ..this thing was going to hatch and come live with them.

Suddenly it had come to her attention that today was the day...her father had circled it on the calendar and she had made an attempt to flee before it was too late. But now dressed in her nicest clothes she was to g..great this thing?

The poor Candy Cane Corn-snake girl was trembling uncontrollably as her father led her down the hallway and down to the hatchery. She was moving slowly...okay BEYOND slow. In fact she stopped dead in her tracks when they came to the doors that led into the hatchery area.

Her father looked to Saedah who only gazed at him with a look that could break a heart. You'd swear he was taking her to a place to be executed rather than to pick up a dragon.

"Come on Pumpkin..." Kuyoja spoke softly soothingly, using her nickname to help calm her down "We can't keep them waiting."

"I..I don..don't...want it.." She managed to sob her hand was still attached to her fathers even though it was extended to the point she'd have to move unless she wanted to let go.

"Saedah...there is nothing to be afraid of...I am sure he or she will be very nice.."

"But wh..what if its like a scary dragon Papa?? What ..what if its like Ter's dragon? I don't want to get eaten!" she protested tears streaming down the girls pinksh face.

Kuyoja wasn't sure how to answer...for one he had no idea what this thing was going to look like. The species was unfamiliar to him.

"Come now." Kuyoja stated more sternly, Saedah was a good girl and generally never disobeyed her rather. She was still sobbing whens he slithered forward finally. Hanging her head as she clung to his side as tightly as possible. He allowed it, given how frightened she was.

They walked in silence a ways before finally coming to a door, where they could hear muffled voices calling out to..something.

Saedah shrank back new voices...new place...a dragon...how she hadn't had a panic attack and passed out was beyond her. Maybe she was getting better at dealing with her fears as she aged. Either that or her fathers strong presence was the only reason she was still standing and conscious.

"Noooo no no stop get back here! Stop trying...aarg...will you get her to stop digging at the furniture??" Came a techs voice, there was a crash and then suddenly the door burst open. A young black and green dragon was pulling on a leash looking about excitedly and soon its gaze latched onto Saedah.

There was a tail wag and then a jump.

Sae had passed out before the dragon had even gotten to her.
