Sizzla Procyon giggled as Pteryx came closer to examine her tail. She was happy to see that everyone she had met so far liked her. She heard the girl say her tail was good and she did like the praise. "Thanks 'Twix! Tail gooooodddd..." She flicked it around a bit more, and let it rest for awhile, allowing the other girls to pet it if they wanted.
"Fly? Was' fly?" Procyon asked Pteryx as she examined the leathery bat wings attached to the bat-Fey's arms. She reached out to touch them, curious about how they felt. She was a bit hesitant, hoping the girl wouldn't mind...But she had touched Procyon's tail, so she figured it'd be okay.Sizzla grinned at Lu. "Good thing I'm not a human, eh? Hopefully my human blood won't attract you..." She laughed. "Have you eaten many humans? I guess I haven't seen anything quite like you before. I've just seen horned ones, though now that I think about it, they were probably demons, not Mancubus."
Sizzla thought about most of the people she had met in Gaia, and quickly realized that the majority of them were not pure human. The genepool in Gaia was a pretty mixed bag. "What is a bond brother?" she asked the blonde woman, curious to find out more about this new species.

Lucifer Force "Fly?" asked the Venus Flytrap. Pteryx had flapped her wings, which must've been an indication of what she was talking about. Excitedly, she buzzed her own Fey wings. Procyon had them, too! But she had a tail, which was cool and fluffy. Giggling, Dionaea pet the raccoon's tail. It was very soft, and Procyon had a neat mask on her face, too! Dionaea immediately pointed to it. "Wha dat?" Was it a mask? Lu thought of her bond-brother, Serath. "I have eaten quite a few humans in my lifespan. I'm actually 30 human years old, but we age much slower. And no, I only eat pure humans." She smiled, letting Sizzla know she wasn't lying. Anyone without pure human blood was poisonous to her kind. "Bond-brothers and bond-sisters are Mancubi who are unrelated to us by blood, but are kind of like siblings... Do fairies have them?"

Neith-Kia Pteryx let Procyon touch the leathery wings, even stretching out an arm. It was a bit confusing to her, that the other girls didn't seem to know what flying was. "When you flap your wings and go up as high as the sky." Pteryx pointed upwards. "I like flying because you feel really free and light, and you can see everything! One day I will be able to fly as high as the moon."

Sizzla Procyon slowly moved her hand toward Pteryx's wing, and touched it gently, feeling the leathery texture of her bat wings. She flicked her own wings, but realized they were very different from this girls. They weren't allowing her to fly, she knew that. She pointed to her wings, and turned to Pteryx. Maybe the older girl could help her learn to fly.
"Flappy wings? Moon?" Her fey wings twitched again like Dionaea's. She still wasn't going as high as the sky. Her bottom stayed flat on the ground. "Me wanna go high! Why no fly?" she asked Pteryx.
She turned to Dionaea, who seemed to be enjoying her tail. "Sooofftttt." She cooed as the other little girl petted her it. Then she heard what the other girl was referring to. The circles around her eyes. "I don know. Dark. Circles. Like mask?" She reached out to touch Dionaea's antennae, for she hadn't yet seen anyone with those things. She had ears herself, but no antennae. She poked one of them with her finger and giggled. "Fun!""Oh good," Sizzla sighed. "I'm glad you only eat pure humans. Let's hope you don't have to be around too many full human Kithain. There might be some trouble." Sizzla laughed and nodded at Lu playfully. She meant no harm by it.
"Well, we don't have bond-brothers and sisters per se, but it is like we're family. I've met a few half-fae in Gaia, and one of my best friends there is half-fae as well. We all seem to know each other at least, and are friendly to each other when we meet. We are all descended from different families, but we do share that fae bond." She smiled at the Mancubus, and paused.
"Do you know if these lovely young ladies have a room here or something? That's what we were on our way to find when I heard noise in here."

Lucifer Force Dionaea giggled playfully as Procyon touched her antennae. She thought they were pretty cool, too. And her Kithain loved to call them "dooblybobbers". She remembered stuff like that. It was her job. Her wings twitched, wondering if she buzzed them hard enough, she would flutter like she imagined Pteryx could. Perhaps when they were older? "Fly! Coonie fly!" She thought that Procyon would make an excellent flight instructor as well. The Mancubus had never met a half-fae, and thus had no idea they all shared a common bond. The thought gave her that warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Too bad most Mancubi hated each other and were rudely territorial. "I'm so glad to hear that half-fae all share a common bond. Mancubi don't generally... Oh! And we can't fly, either." She grinned at the thought. "Though I suppose that wings could be one of our genetic mutations... Never seen anyone with them..." Rooms? Oh yes! Dionaea had a chamber, and Lu figured Pteryx did as well. "Yep. Dionaea came standard with her own place. I didn't think it was a good idea, seeing as she's only one year old. Would you and Pteryx like to see it? I'm sure we can find Procyon's room too!"

Sizzla Procyon bobbled Dionaea's antennae one more time, then sat back on her haunches, hovering right above the stone floor. She saw Dionaea twitching her wings, and moved her own around a bit, getting a feel for what they could do. And it was then that she realized they couldn't do much.
"Hummmmm...." she thought, not wanting to disappoint Dionaea. "Well Deeohneeaaah...I don think we fly...Flying ish hard!" She smiled at Pteryx, who she was mighty impressed with. "Not like Pet-twix. But, I like to run! See?" She scampered around the other baby, quick as a flash, and stopped in front of her again, her breathing a slight bit heavier. "See?!""Well," said Sizzla, wanting to clarify for Lu. "We don't necessarily have that blood bond, but we do think of each other as family. Somewhere along the line we all came from the same fae...So we look at it that way. Plus, the fae are a peaceful bunch. There isn't much bickering between those of us with fae backgrounds."
She looked around the room again, taking in the sight of the place. "It would be nice to see the rooms of the other children. And finding Procyon's room would be a good idea. She does need a place to stay. From what I understand, she can't come to Gaia with me. But I'm sure there's a safe place for her here. And she'll want to visit Dionaea too, from the looks of it. They seem to be getting along quite well." She giggled as she watched Procyon scamper around Dionaea as quick as a flash.
"Procyon, come here. Let's go look for your room." She knelt down, her arms out, ready to pick the child up once she was over there. Procyon scampered over on all fours, just about crashing into Sizzla. But Sizzla picked her up just in time, and she giggled as she rested in Sizzla's arms.
"How about it ladies? Want to come?" She spoke to the flytrap and bat Fey, smiling warmly. "Yes, lets!" Procyon waved to them, trying to convince the pair to come with. "We'll play!!" She giggled and settled back down into Sizzla's arms for a rest.

Neith-Kia "I don't know... lots of moon court fey can fly. Maybe you need to practice with your wings more." Pteryx paused, she knew that only to be half true. After all, the only person she'd talked with about flying couldn't even manage to land on a branch! "Maybe you can do other things good instead that no one else can do?" Pteryx looked up at one of the kithain, the one that had asked her a question. "Um... I don't know. They should have chambers that their parents used to have, but I don't know where they are." She nodded at the human-eating kithain. If she knew where one of them lived, she could visit. Maybe even sleep there, if her own kithain wasn't home?

Lucifer Force Dionaea clapped and giggled. Procyon was so wonderous, and very, very fast! She loved to run, too, but she was not as quick as the Raccoon. Perhaps she could be if she practiced more? "Pwoceeon ish fast!"Padding over to Dionaea, Lu picked her up gently. The youngest Fey yawned and stretched, very much ready to enjoy a nice nap in her quarters. Lu was happy to lead the others along, if they so desired. "I'd be more than happy to have you guys come over to Dionaea's chamber. Maybe we can find Procyon's along the way?" Dionaea had been taking in everything the two Kithain had said since they began their conversation. Everything Sizzla had explained about Fae people, and everything Lu had said about her own people. She must remember this, and remembering things was what she was good at. The tiny Fey smiled inwardly. This was fun!

Sizzla "Yes, let's go," said Sizzla, who was looking forward to finding Procyon's room. The little raccoon Fey nested down in her arms, yawning slightly, her eyes fluttering closed every now and then. "I think this little one could use a nap. Would you like to lead Pteryx? You seem like you know your way around here quite well. I'm sure we'll find Procyon's room if we just look around some."Procyon wiggled a bit in Sizzla's arms, trying to get comfortable. She was tired, and all that running around had her all tuckered out. She was happy to be going to her room too, so she could sleep for a long time. It had been a trying day for the little girl, who had just come out of the window. "Sleeeeppp..." She muttered, her eyes half open as she fell into sleep. "Fwendsssss..."The pair turned toward the door of the Inner Sanctum and walked back out into the hallway, their footsteps sounding hollow on the stone floors...

Neith-Kia Pteryx stood up, following the others with ease in the darkness. "I don't know where they are either, I think. There are empty chambers all over the castle but maybe I've passed them while wandering? I bet that Procyon would remember which is hers, because it would have things from when she was last there still in it. We can just open the doors and look in as we pass." She paused, then shook her head. Pteryx could hear the sounds of birds singing, and that meant dawn wasn't too far off. "But I have got to go back to my chambers. I will see you all tomorrow night, maybe?" Without waiting for an answer, Pteryx rushed as fast as she could manage back towards her chambers.

Scooting along happily, wings buzzing, Dionaea crawled along the darkened halls of Castellum Umbra. She smiled and gurgled with each passing corridor, not knowing, nor caring, where she was going. She was free of the watchful eye of her Kithain today, and she decided to make the best of it. To her delight, the castle had a unique set of sound which she was memorizing as she went.
The tiny Fey finally happened upon a chamber, one she did not recognize. Not being older enough or strong enough to open the door, Dionaea decided she would try something else. She power-crawled and knocked into it, gently enough so that she didn't hurt herself.
"Hewwo?" she called.

Procyon had been scampering around her room, not quite able to stand still today. She was feeling a bit hyper, as she hadn't been outside her chambers for a day or so. Sizzla had left her to her own devices the previous night, as she had to run errands back in Gaia. She preferred that Procyon stay in Tir Nan Og, so that she could develop her power, and become stronger. Sizzla knew that taking her away would weaken her, so it was best for her to remain in the castle.
Just when she began to get out of breath from running circles around her room, she heard a thumping noise against the door. She stopped instantly, creeping slowly up to the now cracked door. Instead of pulling it open, she stood behind it, ready to pounce on whoever would come through the door.
"Wha's zat? Who you?" she asked, curious if it was an adult, or one of her new friends, or heaven forbid, a stranger!

Dionaea couldn't help but giggle. She recognized Procyon's voice immediately. She wasn't one to forget the sound of anyone or anything. Her wings buzzed again, picturing Procyon hunched over, peering at the door.
"Pwoceeon!" she called merrily. "Eets Dee! Deeonaya!"
It would be grand to play with someone else! Active as she was, that didn't mean she wouldn't get bored wandering the halls. Would Procyon come out and play?
