Gift to Child: A stuffed kitty made of the fur of another noodle... lD or noodles... more like.
RP Response:

Frazzle had just about gotten to the point where he felt safe in the cave that he and his mate shared. He wasn't staring off into blank space anymore, or freaking out when he heard noises. He still had issues when they were gone for more than a little while and he wasn't with them, but that was to be expected. What he didn't expect, however, was the hole he felt in himself still whenever he saw other noodles with their children. He was never prepared for it. So when he heard a couple talking about some kind of adoption agency, he'd run straight home to go and tell Patch or Fluffy - whichever he encountered first. He was so excited! He had no idea if his mate would be, but he knew then that this was his chance!

Fluffy blinked with a bit of surprised curiosity when his glowing mate ran into their simple home. After greeting him with a gentle nuzzle to the cheek he asked the burning question "What is it? Why so excited Frazzle?" He'd either found something amazing or heard something amazing.

"Kits! Chance.... Kits!" he said, all of a sudden frustrated because he couldn't vocalize what he wanted to say properly. It was a fantastic leadup... to nothing - as usual. He sighed, and started to try and draw out the conversation in the dust of the cave, unsure as to how to go about it, but trying anyways.

Blinking in confusion Fluffy worked to try and understand his frantic love. "Wait too fast! So kits..in a uh... Box?" Head tilting at the drawing the red haired fox shook said hair away to see the scribbles more clearly. Kits in a box...something to do with two other noodles talking. "I do not understand."

Frazzle scrambled to think of the exact word that the other noodles had used, and finally came up with it. "Ad... Adoption?" he asked, as though unsure whether or not he'd said it right. "Kits - adoption. Adoption...." he struggled and then flopped down, putting his paws over his face before rolling to his feet and starting to exit the cave again. They would just have to find it - he would find the paper that the others had been looking at and show it to Fluffy. Fluffy could read....

Eyes blinking rapidly at the news Fluffy hurried to stop his mate, hissing at the sunlight's fading rays. "Frazzle no! I understand now. Adopt kits..yes. we go tomorrow. Too light out now. Will try tomorrow..might rain." Smiling happily he paced to begin preparing things, to find something for their possible adoptive kit.

Frazzle paused, and came back in, snuffling around the cave with him for something. He nudged through his things and paused on a plushy that Patch had made him from scraps of fur too small to sew on himself. He deliberated with himself. It was one of his favorite things, and he was loathe to give it up... But he had the real Patch all to himself. Would it be that much of a sacrifice to give a kit this? He shook his head and decided not picking up the toy and plopping it down in front of Fluffy. "This."

Ears flickering up when Frazzle seemed to have found something the dark male hurried over. "Oh the plush? Think a kit would like it?" Smiling delicately Fluffy gave the special toy a gentle nuzzle. "Okay we sleep..then go adopt!" Still rather cheery the male moved to fluff their blankets and burrow within the warmth. Tomorrow he'd face the light..to find a kit all their own. Cuddling close to his glowing mate sleep came quickly even with the excitement buzzing within his head.

Frazzle, however, couldn't sleep at all. He laid there until the next day, staring out the entrance to the den. A kit of their own! It was such an exciting concept! And unlike the others he'd tried to steal in the past, this one didn't come with people who would get mad and throw things at him and hurt him! as soon as it was time, he nuzzled Fluffy. He wanted to go!

Groaning and flopping over Patch tried to bat the insistent nuzzling nose away. "No.." Puffing at the annoying other voice within his head the male slowly shifted upwards. Groggy and a bit grumpy he moved to have a quick nibble of food. "It's so bright..you sure we cannot just have babies?"

Frazzle shook his head. "Tried. Failed. This best." he said, and then rose, stretching. He was so nervous he couldn't eat - instead he just picked up the plush and paced around the entrance of the cave. He wanted this so badly - to have a kit to love. He only hoped that the poor baby wouldn't be afraid of him - like all kits seemed to be. And Patch was just as scary. He really hoped they wouldn't be turned away....

After eating, stretching and grouching a bit longer Patch finally pulled himself together and tossed a cloak on. He made Frazzle wear one too..just to avoid the stares and snide remarks. Looking different had it's consequences that's why he also thought their chances of getting a kit were slim. "Frazzle do not get your hopes up. Might not get a kit..okay?" A look about for danger and they were off towards the place Frazzle had heard about. Patch kept to the shadows his covered eyes aching at the intense heat of the suns rays. Night was safer, less could happen at night..he could hide well at night. Daylight exposed everything.

Frazzle stopped in front of the building, still holding the plush in his jaws, and then boldly strode forth. He knew that he shouldn't get his hopes up and that they were both scary looking, but he had to try. He couldn't stand knowing that they had a shot and that it might not work. He looked around the place and smiled, dropping the toy and waiting for his mate before looking around. One of these kits had to not be afraid of them... Maybe if they just waited here?

Patch felt an instant moment of hesitation upon entering the building. What kit would want them for parents? Frowning beneath the cloak which covered most of his more 'scary' attributes. His eyes quietly observed the many kits..they were all very..fluffy. Some were hyper, some were bullies..others just sat reading or playing by themselves. "Frazzle..see one you like?"

Frazzle tilted his head at the request, unsure of what to do. But he knew that there was no way that one might just come to him, and so he started towards a group, grinning and looking happy... though to the average person he just looked murderous. When they squealed and ran away, he whimpered, and his ears drooped. "But... Have toy...."

Growling a bit at his poor mates crestfallen appearance at the kits rejection he decided to try his paw at finding one. Moving through the groups he eventually spotted one. One that seemed to be picked on for being different..with a little frown Patch moved to sit bear the little one. "Do not be sad..they are just jealous. Frazzle..come sit..no smiling." The kit seemed a bit wary but, did not look like it would bolt. "Do not fear..we were little like you once..everyone picked on us for being different too."

Frazzle nodded and sat nearby, trying his hardest not to grin even though he was excited. He nudged the toy to the kit and said in his quiet way, "For... You." and then looking excited. If the kit accepted it.... He would be so happy! He was barely keeping his nub of a tail still and he growled at another kit that tried to take it before the little one could claim it.

Laughing a bit Patch smiled as the kit shyly took the toy and, began playing. It kept near to them and even got close to Frazzle for a curious sniff, then a sweet little smile. Yes the kit would fit their family..because it did not fit among the others..whether by looks alone or it's nature he did not know but, Patch felt it deep inside. They were meant to take this little one home with them. "Want to come home with us? We live in a safe place..a big cave to explore in. Lots of blankets and, food. Frazzle let's talk to the lady in charge!"

Frazzle nodded, and looked excited, sniffing the kit back and then grinning. He looked around and spotted her, then sat down again. "I... Stay. Make sure kit.... is okay." he struggled to get the sentence out. All they could do was hope and pray that she said yes!

Added in a bit.
I seek a child of my own!

Gift to Child: A giant hair bow.
RP Response:

Nova was tired of caring for his adoptive families offspring. It was not that nova disliked younglings, in fact he loved them quite a bit. His problem lay in the fact the he had in empty home. It was a very lonely task taking care of kits and than watching as they returned home with their loving parents. Nova knew most of his desire to raise his own kit stemmed from the fact that he was a father. Not that he had ever seen his offspring. The female who mothered the bowl had taken off with their only bowl. She had forsaken him and had never allowed him near his offspring. Nova figured it was because she was ashamed that she had offspring with a male. He had heard news that the female had only eyes for other females. Nova sighed over the past hurt it was better to just let the emotional pain slowly fade away with time.
The sound of kit’s giggling caused nova to peer out of his house. It couldn’t be his adopted nieces and nephews. Currently none of his adoptive family had young kits so it couldn’t be family members. He looked outside and saw a fit kits playing jump rope. One girl and one boy had the handle and were twirling the rope while another little kit was off to the side looking a little panic stricken. Nova carefully walked up to the scared female.

“You look nervous are you scared of the jumping rope?”Nova asked curiously.

The little female nodded hurriedly. “I’m really not good with the jump rope. I can never get the rhythm just right. I don’t want the other kits to laugh at me -when I fail.” The little female whispered.

“If you go into an activity expecting to fail you’ll never achieve your goals. It will come in time and if you’re really scared I suggest a distraction.” Nova advised.

“I am not scared. I just don’t want to fail and then be called an orphaned hissy cat that nobody wants -by the others.”The little female said proudly.

“I see now nobody wants to be called a hissy cat-what fox would want to be called cat. Well I have a plan.” Nova said in an amused manner. He was starting to feel charmed by his little female. “Hello I have several sets of paints and lots of paper. I’m an artist and I always have extra supplies set aside for my family. You can borrow the supplies if you want and if you need any advice I’d be happy to help.” He addressed the two other kits.

“That might be fun.”The other two kits said in duet.

“Ok I’ll go get the supplies,” Nova said happily. He was hatching a scheme perhaps he didn’t need to be lonely. If the little female was looking for a family well he could be that family. If she was ok with a single parent he would be happy to call her his daughter. Nova thought he would visit her in the orphanage a few times before he brought up his idea. During that time he would paint a mural with flowers and butterflies in his spare room. His paws itched to get a hold of his paints and prepare a room for the kit just in case she agreed to his plan.

Humming a cheerful tune nova cheerfully brought paints, papers and an extra gift for the little female kit.
Placing the paints and papers in front of the other kits he walked up to the little female and handed her a gift.

"I thought you might like this hairbow I bought it because I thought it was pretty but I had nobody to give it to. You can have it if you want?” Nova said questioningly.

“But .. I could accept such a gift from a stranger.” The kit said in a sad voice as she stared longingly at the bow.

“Well my name it Nova.”Nova extended his paw in greeting.

“I’m Amélie.” The little kit said.

“Now that we’ve been introduced I can honestly say you should accept the gift after all it would look cuter on you than it would on me. Can’t you tell a bow that color would clash with my fur?” Nova said as he tilted his head and in a voice filled with humor.

Amélie stared at Nova for a minute before bursting with laughter. “You’re right you would look funny! Then Mr. Nova I’d be pleased to accept the bow. I’ve never received such a fine gift.” She said shyly.

Gift to Child: A glowing blue moon piece from the piece of moon in Lupus's pendent gathered by the shadows.
RP Response:

Lupus yawned and crawled out of the cave. It was daytime, but the heavy cloud cover allowed him to roam freely. As he walked about stretching his legs, snow began lightly falling. Flicking the hair from his eyes, he stared up at it in wonder. He would have sat there for hours, but his ears pricked at the sound of small footsteps nearby. It was too big to be a mouse and the sound was too steady to be a rabbit. Coating his paws in Shadows, Lupus crept silently towards it. When he saw what it was, he quickly sent some of his Shadows to find Anica and slowly approached it. “Hello, little one. Are you lost?”

The young female kit looked through her messy hair up at the male. He blended in a bit with the background. She was scared a bit. "Lost, pft i laugh at the sound of that." She stands up and looks around and acts like she knows were she is going. "Just taking a walk you know. This way is where i was going." The kit shook a bit and walked into the woods, deeper.

Anica deep in the forest was picking the glowing tears of gold from the signing flowers of Zuna. They tear gold during the winter month of december. As she picked the flowers her ears perked. She seen a shadow and looked up at. She smiled she knew what it was and whom it was from. She continued to pick suddenly she heard a thud and a small crash followed by a cry and a whine. Anica raced towards the sound and suddenly stopped. She peered in the bush. There was a kit inside the bush just like the Lupus ran into when they first met, only this time the young kit hit her head, she was crying. Anica, gasped and leaped in the bush trying to reach the young kit. "Dont worry dear, i am coming for you!"

Lupus watched the kit head off in the wrong direction. This is no place safe for a kit. Especially with Chief around… He scanned the area before quickly following it closely. The kit passed though some tall grass and Lupus remembered that there was a steep slope on the other side. “Hey, kid! Watch out!” It was too late. He heard the kit cry out and dashed down the slope to find Anica already there, helping it out of the bush it’d gotten itself caught in. He bit back a smile, remembering the time Anica had rescued his drunken self from a bush. “Anica,” he couldn’t keep the joy of seeing her out of his voice, “do you know this kit? Or whom it belongs to?”

Anica blinked up at Lupus, she smiled, she was happy to see him. She nestled the kit in her arms to calm it down. "Shhh, its okay. I have you." The young kit just clamped on tighter and squeezed her, she was wet, hurting, scared, and bleeding. She cried heavly on Anica.

Anica squeezed her gently as she noticed her wounds on the little girl. She looked over for her medicine bag, but couldnt see it. "Lupus, can you find my medicine bag please?"

Lupus felt a strange, warm, emotion in his chest when he saw Anica holding the small lost kit, but having never felt it before, he didn’t know what to call it. “Hm? Oh, yes, of course.” He shook his head to clear it and took a deep breath. Shadows spread about in all directions until the familiar touch of Anica’s bag brushed against his senses. He dispersed the Shadows and hurried over to where it sat. He scooped it and brought it back to its proper owner. “Here you go, Anica.” Lupus moved closer to the kit, to pet her head and try to calm her down, while Anica healed her. “It’s okay, little one. It’ll be okay.”

Anica looked up at Lupus that was standing right in front of them. She smiled as she took the bag of medicine and put the cooling medicine on the cuts of the kit. The kid was crying her eyes out. She was scared, lonely and of course dirty with cuts. The medicine worked its way deep in her fur to her skin. The kit clamped onto Anica and still was sobbing. Anica smiled and started to rock her, just for the comfort. "Thank you Lupus for getting the bag for me." She looked back down at the young kit and seen her relaxing more. "It's okay, you are fine, we got you."

The kit finally simmered down. She looked up at the person who was holding her and seen the woman who was holding her looking into the man who was staring back at her, they were in love and she could sense this, it was nice that she was comforted and loved. She wanted and needed this deep down in her heart. She smiled at them. She mumbled, "please i want this."

Lupus relaxed when the kit finally calmed down. He sent a few Shadows off to check if anyone was nearby, but they reported only wildlife in the area. Lupus found himself smiling back at the kit as that strange feeling returned. What is this? He puzzled, as he listened to the kit’s muffled wish. This? What is ‘this’ that she wants? He had a sudden urge to give her whatever the ‘this’ was that she wanted. Unable to figure it out himself, he decided to just ask. “What is it, little one?” His voice came out almost as a whisper. His unknown emotion made his heart pound as he moved closer and rested his head on Anica’s shoulder. “What is it that you want?”

The kit looked up at him and then at her. "This the connection and love between you two. I want to be loved like you love her, i want a father and a mother, i dont have one." She started to cry slightly and nestled into Anica's arm.

Anica looked up at Lupus, the girl was homeless. She wanted to keep her. "Are you serious, you have no family? Is that what you want? A family?"

The kit looked up at her with tears in her eyes and whimped a "yes"

Lupus sat up at the kit’s words, no family? He looked between Anica and the kit. He loved Anica deeply, the kind of love that kills when severed. The kit? He felt the same protective feeling he got whenever Chief came near them, but he also wanted to make her happy. Suddenly, it clicked. He’d had these same feelings when he was taking care of his sons. It was a strange bond he shared with his old roommate, Echelon, but he learned from it. Lupus rested one arm around Anica and used the other to stroke the kits little head. As he spoke, he hoped that Anica was feeling the same way he was. “Would you like to be part of our family? You’ll have two rather rambunctious older brothers, but I can promise you that you’ll never have to be alone ever again.” Stepping back, he took a small piece of the moon from his chopstick and gathered up Shadows until they formed a necklace. Placing the glowing moon fragment inside the small pendent that hung from it, he held it out for the kit. “If you wear this, no matter where you go, I’ll always be able to find you.”

The young kit looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "Really you want me to be part of your family? I will have a mother and a father?" The kit looked at her potential parents. She filled with joy as she receive a glowing blue moon fragment that dazzled her eyes. She smiled wide eyed and then looked up at them, "I am an orphan at the orphanage, should we see if its ok?"

Anica smiled as she watched Lupus hand the kit a moon fragment. This was part of this family now she hugged the kit and looked at her. "Yes we do want you to be our daughter and yes i think that would be best to let them know we want you." She looked up at Lupus. "Lets get her to offically be our daughter. "

Lupus smiled and tied the pendent around her neck. “Let’s go!” He took the kit from Anica’s arms and set her on his back. Anica lead them back to town, then Lupus used his Shadows to find the orphanage. The lady inside looked about ready to close up when they came up to the door. “I’m sorry, we’re closing right now and all the young’ns are in bed.” Lupus turned to show her the kit, “Actually, we came to adopt this little one.” The lady looked surprised, then angry, and finally relieved. “That’s the fifth time that one’s gotten herself lost…I’m glad she finally has such a lovely couple to watch over her. I’m sure you’ll all be one big happy family. Come on in.” His heart jumped happily inside his chest and he nuzzled Anica gently as they headed in to sign the papers. “One big happy family…” Lupus echoed in her ear, he loved the sound of that.
