Taran watched his mate and children with an almost dreamy look in his eyes. So much had changed since he had first met the beautiful cattaur.. And there was such a great warmth in his heart. A son and a daughter, both wonderful children.. He could see that his mate was tired, and he wanted to give her as much as a break as he could. Carefully, he crafted a soft cloth doll. Korbin Lyric watched his father, his mother, and his sister all in turns. He laid in front of his father, his fist in his mouth and being gummed for his teeth growing in. Purring softly, he was content in their little home.

Careful to keep the food out of Rosa's curious hands, even though the girl seemed more sleepy than curious, she nearly danced around their kitchen as she got the food together and the proper place settings. Tonight was so peaceful, she could again enjoy the tranquility of their woodsy life. "Almost ready Taran."
Garbling softly, Rosa decided to start chewing on her mother's hair. Her eyes drifted as she "talked" and drooled, going over to her father, the interesting thing in his hands, and then her brother, still a bit jealous that he could make noises like mommy and she couldn't.

Taran stood carefully, having finished the doll. He didn't want to somehow disrupt Korbin. "Alright Mistaya." grinning, he held the doll up for Rosabella to look at. He would give it to her as soon as he could. Her brother seemed very content to just sit and watch everyone, where she liked to be in the action.
Korbin watched his mother set the table with curiosity, his sister chewing on her hair. Was it tasty? It probably smelled like... Mother and Father both smelled good. And so big and safe feeling! They knew just where to scratch him to make him sleepy, the food he liked, and how he liked being rocked. He purred more at the thought, unaware of his sister's small jealousy.

With table set and the scent of cooking fish ripe through the house, she set Rosa next to Korbin, patting their heads. "All set." She said, smiling at the little doll in his hands. "That will get a lot of use." She giggled.
Looking up at the doll again, she tilts her head with interest. It looked like it would be fun to squeeze and cuddle! The hair fell from her mouth as she set her chin on Mistaya's shoulder, watching Taran finish the doll up.

Taran handed the little doll to Rosabella. "I had hoped it would," Sniffing the air, he could smell the fish and other foods mixed together. It smelled absolutely heavenly.. "That smells great.." He kissed his mate on the cheek and his children on the head, adjusting well to his role as he remembered his father being.
Korbin smiled up at his mother, somewhat hoping to get a bit of her attention for himself. Rosabella was set next to him, so he scooted over towards her, watching her play with the doll with interest.

"Who knew you had such talent." She said playfully, putting the food on the table and taking her seat. She glanced at a new wood door knowingly as she took a bite. Behind that door was the new baby room, built pretty much by just the two of them. When she had gotten too large to be able to help without straining herself, she had fixed up the rest of the house, mending and pasting and weatherproofing. All their hard work had paid off, the children sleeping well nearly every night in their little room. ...Not counting the fact that her nighttime lullabies were laced with her soothing magic.
"Coo?" Rosa's attention immediately focused on the doll in her hands. It was soft and squishable! She pet its hair and gave the legs little tugs. Not like the twigs outside that broke so easily! In her excitement, she yelled and shook the doll up and down, her silky baby hair floating around her face as she bounced.

Taran laughed softly at his mate's comment. "My father taught me. Said you would never know when you would need it." He sat across from her, eating contently. He was tired from working on their home, and the occasional times their children fussed. But he couldn't ask for better children or a happier life.
Korbin started a little when she got excited. Was she so happy because their father made it? Their mother and father made a lot of things to keep them happy... He much preferred balls. He couldn't help but giggle a little at the way her hair flew out around her, though.

Mistaya smiled, hiding that flicker of sadness in her heart that pinched at the mention of parents. She wondered if her parents were even still alive...
She looked at the squeeing child and laughed, letting her sadness fall to the background where it usually hid. "What will you be making Korbin?"
Hearing Korbin's giggle, Rosa looked over at him. A wide grin emerged and she copied her previous move, shaking the doll up and down and yelling excitedly. This time she even kicked her legs slightly, lifting her little body off the ground.

Taran thought for a moment, not making her sad on purpose. He would understand her missing her parents, his had been dead for years. "Something he can chew on. The boy puts anything and everything into his mouth."
Korbin giggled more, oddly entertained by his sister's actions. Picking up on her excitement, he began to wiggle and squirm, rocking from side to side happily.

Smiling, Mistaya gave an affectionate nod. "Yes, he does like to chew. Teething won't be too far away for them, so at least he'll be ready for it." She flicked her ears at Rosa's yelling, but still smiled at how happy their babies seemed to be. "Not so loud please Rosa."
Feeling further encouraged, she grasps the doll in one hand, flapping her arms like a bird as she shrieks happily at Korbin, jumping nearly enough to be standing, hooves ticking against the floor with every return.
Looking up instantly at Mistaya's voice, she pauses only long enough to grin at her mother before resuming her fun, not understanding her mother's wishes.

Taran grinned a little, his ears flicking away from the screaming. "I think he chews because of how it feels, too." He stood, walking over to Rosa. He bent down, patting her head gently. "Rosa.." he cooed softly at her. "I'm glad you're happy, baby.. you don't have to yell, though.."
Korbin couldn't help but laugh. She was acting so silly! It was great! He looked at his father and mother, realizing that they didn't like something. He stared at Rosa for a moment, placing a hand gently on her face. "Ba!" He stated, not liking that they wanted something to change.

Chewing thoughtfully, she watched Taran interact with the children. As much as she had looked forward to having children one day, she didn't have much experience with them. She wanted to learn how to get them to listen to vocal signals, and eventually words, instead of simply using her magic. They would never learn if she did that.
Rosa looked up curiously at her father. Was it the flapping? The noise? "Beeh?" Her tail flicked, happy with the attention.
Feeling a hand on her face, she giggled and turned, opening her mouth to suck on a couple of Korbin's fingers.

Taran had only experienced children from before his teen years, but he had helped take care of the younger ones in that time. "See? That's much better.." he couldn't help but smile as Korbin tried to help. He was unaware of Mist watching him, figuring he was just giving her a break to keep eating.
Korbin tilted his head when his sister sucked on his fingers, giggling a little at the feeling. His long tail wagged from side to side, reacting to his fun.

Taking advantage of her alone moment, she savored her bites of fish and veggies. The sound and feel of children laughing was so sweet though, she felt like she was having dessert during the meal. Her tail swayed contently, the tip brushing against the floor.
Rosa gummed gently at Korbin's fingers, giggling as she clutched the doll to her chest. Her own tail shook happily. She loved seeing her family happy and smiling.

Taran was content now that their children were quieter, deciding it would be safe to return to his seat and continue eating dinner. "That should be better.." he said quietly, pleased to see that Mistaya was more relaxed now.
Korbin gurgled at Rosa, watching her gum on his hand. It felt odd~ He was used to doing it to himself, but another person doing it was funny. He giggled when he saw her little tail flicking, purring softly at her happiness.
