"As touching as this is, when can we expect to actually leave?" If it had just been two, they'd be long treading by now. He didn't mind the extra company, not at all. Just after so long of being idle, then waiting like a student for a school bell. It made him twitchy.
Wow, Lily sure had short notice. But Ed had said she didn't mind to come along. The feathered kitsu could wait patiently, batting her companion on the shoulder in the meantime. "Stop fidgeting. We leave when we leave." A roll of her eyes before glancing back to Remus. "Oh? And who is this Hemi?"

He cast Ronan a curious glance, guessing there was more to this outing than Lily knew and not really being surprised by this. Then he smiled at Setsumi, sitting down in a way that implied he would wait for his daughter to arrive before leaving. Remus had simply not wanted his daughter interfering with well placed but distracting loyalty while he spoke with Edward. "Hemi is my youngest. A good lad, but I knew should he have more than an inkling of my intentions he would feel the need to inform his sister and I did not want that."
Dark eyes flicked to Edward, watching as Remus was certain the teen followed mentally where Liliana had gone. "I waited until they left before coming here."

Edward seemed to be thinking to himself as he sat there... although the teen looked up as he felt Remus' eyes on him again. Yes... he was following... he knew where Lily had gone. He knew that she still had a strong bond with Endless, but he trusted her. She wouldn't break his heart a second time, he knew that.
He offered a smile to his father-in-law, waiting quietly and patiently for his mate-to-be to arrive. He wondered about Hemi, he was a good kid... eh... adult.. something... but he didn't know him very well. The teen making a mental note to get to know the family better when they got back.

Ronan tossed a playful glare at Setsumi. "Don't hit meh." With a pout, he placed his chin down. Tails tapped as he waited as patiently as he could. His mind drifted off to random images, mostly full of bright colors. Of course, no monotone thoughts for him.
A soft smile. Sounds like the siblings looked after each other quite well. She wondered if the brother was as bright red as his sister. Eyes glanced about, wondering when the second pop would follow.

Chocolate banded ears flicked a split second before two pops could be heard heralding the appararation of wizarding kitsu. Remus turned his head to the spot, but even he was surprised to see more than the three he expected. But his startled expression was nothing compared to his daughter's as she stepped away from Zell & his 'rider'. Her step was hesitant, debating between going to her father or Edward. "Daddy? What are you doing here?"
Hemi, though surprised caught on much quicker why and so did not look at all surprised. The only crimson he shared with his sister was their mother's auburn hair color framing his face. Beyond that... he was his father's son from the light chocolate of his fur to his dark chocolate tails & even the matching Gryffindor scarf. "Hey Dad! Cool! You're here! You can help take Atae & Bryna home after they say bye to Ed & Lily! heart "
With a probably excited teen Nobody on his shoulders, Zell Dincht remained thoughtfully quiet as he rolled back and forth on his paws. His blue eyes took in everyone with a warm boyish grin, then rested on the alchemist. Seemed the fistfighter had something he wanted to say to him before they left as well.

Zell's shoulders didn't remain occupied for long as Bryna shot over to Ed and effectively knocked him over once again. Lily was going to have fend Bryna off before she could get to Ed, at least until Bryna was satisfied with her letter delivery. "Nii-chan! I wrote you a letter! It's my first letter!" She waved the crayon scribbled paper at him until he took it, the obvious beginner's handwriting a little hard to make out until one got used to it. It detailed how good the waffles had been at breakfast, and then her incident with following the fox and bumping into Roy... and of course her squirting of Roy.
Atae was much more sedate about dislodging herself from under Hemi's wing to trot over to Ed, at which point she sat next to Bryna and put her paw on Ed's head for no real reason. It just seemed like something Ed or Terasu would do to one another after one had been knocked down... though the boys probably would have done more than just rest a paw there and probably would have mussed up one another's hair at the very least. Just a little bit of playful teasing before he left... though there was an air of sadness about it that she couldn't shake though she was trying. "Hey Ed... I heard you were still here so I wanted to come say bye while I had the chance. So... you take care of everybody and come back at least mostly in one piece, ok?"

Hearing the familiar pops, Ed quickly looked up. His expression brightening as he saw a familiar, red kitsu. Getting to his paws, the teen started to make his way towards her, "Hey Lil-!" but was cut off in his greeting as Bryna flew at and tackled him. "OOF!" the alchemist find himself on his back. Blinking, he then grinned as he realized it was Bryna, "Hey! A letter already?" Paws reached out to take it and he peered at the scribbly writing for a few moments before deciphering. The teen laughing at the part mentioning the squirting of Roy, "You got Roy! Good job, Bryna!" Ed ruffled her girl's hair, before finding a paw on his own head.
Blinking golden eyes looked up and saw Atae standing there. A smile spreading across his muzzle, "Of course, Atae... we'll be back before you know it." A look passed in Remus direction, for Edward had just promised the same thing to him just moments before.

Ronan was stunned to see a whole grouping of kitsus suddenly enter the room. Don't tell me they're all coming? White eyes blinked at this mini vacation turned fair-well party. At least there was only one kit. Eyes turned over to the male kitsu with strange hair, immediately recognizing him as a fighter. Obviously with such a toned body. Ronan smirked and turned his head. The thought of sparring was just too interesting, and sadly horribly timed.
Ah, so that was Hemi. And she remembered the belted female to be Atae, the childhood friend of Ed and Terasu. As to the others, they were unfamiliar faces. Setsumi listened quietly to the chatter, before she found herself out of place. She had patience, and she had courtesy. But big gatherings was something she was never in tune with handling. She stood and hopped from her cushioned perch, giving a faint smile to everyone in general. A green gaze was tossed to Ronan. "I'll be waiting outside. Okay?" Then the feathered femme stepped out the front door, closing the door politely behind her.

The feathered female's exit was noted, father and son sharing a nod that they should speed things along. Hemi could 'read' her discomfort, not to mention Ronan's clear dismay at the thought more might be joining them. Lily was snickering softly at the sight of her love taken down by her cousin & patted by Atae. Surprisingly, as much as she wanted to go to Edward the winged female was not feeling any pangs of jealousy. To let the girls have their time with him now was relatively easy. Especially knowing she would have him mostly to herself while on their journey. Gold tipped paws padded over to her father for an embrace.
"I simply wished to speak with your young man before you left, Liliana dear." She looked up at him with a mixture of shock, fear, hope & Remus chuckled. "No worries, daughter. I am satisfied."
A look of intense relief and daddy-worship washed over her crimson furred face. Her green gaze flashed lovingly to Edward then shifted to daddy-love as she looked back to her father & hugged him tight. "Thanks Daddy."
Remus chuckled softly. "Anytime, Liliana."
Seeing this might take a while Hemi nudged the SeeD who nodded & padded over to Ed to clap him firmly on the shoulder. "Yo. Know you know something about fighting." Dancing blue eyes looked up to include Ronan too, having recognized the glance over as that of one able to size up an opponent. "Both of you. Keep 'er working on it, kay? Or 'Tae an' me'll take ya all on when you get back." He winked at the belted female, then did a backflip to land beside Remus to nudge Liliana to her mate -ignoring the guffaw upon her face at the idea she might neglect her training while away. Even as her eyes lit like Christmas lights to near her beau.
"You guys take care, kay?" Hemi grinned, coming over to join Atae and grin down at his still prone brother-in-law. "You'll have to do better than that out there, won't'cha Ed?"

Atae grinned at Zell's proclamation, but she was too busy dislodging Bryna from Ed to do any acrobatics. She still wasn't sure she was good enough for that, anyway. Finally she succeeded in tugging Bryna off of Ed so he could right himself and join Lily. Then she grinned over at Hemi even as she said to Bryna, "I think Nii-chan likes being right-side up, Bryn. And we can't keep him here all day or he'll never get to go and write you letters."
Bryna clapped her paws over her mouth in an "Oh! That would be bad!" fashion before clambering over Atae to latch onto Hemi instead. "Nii-chan have fun for me too! I'll squirt Roy more while you're gone, promise!" She grinned widely, perhaps a little too amused at the idea.
Atae put on her brave face and gave Ed another smile before backing off and letting he and Lily do what they needed to before they left, sitting and waiting patiently with her tails wrapped around her paws. One of them flicked idly back and forth at the tip as she looked around aimlessly, knowing full well that her struggle to remain cheerful at the moment couldn't possibly go unnoticed by everyone. She was doing her best but... she just wasn't that good of a stone-waller. She was going to miss both Ed and Lily... she and Lily might never have gotten very close but Atae still cared about her quite a bit. That and knowing Endless was going to crack probably sooner rather than later was taking a silent toll on the sensitive little femme.

Ed laughed at Bryna's antics, but was somewhat relieved when he was finally released from her crushing grip. That girl was pretty strong! Finally able to stand, a grin was passed to Atae, "I'll write you soon, okay?" he assured Bryna. "Yes, make sure you get him soaked!" Refering to Roy of course. If only he could get a picture of a sopping wet, and miserable Roy. That would be priceless.
Zell's words soon caught Ed's attention and an ear flicked, "Sure thing!" he said to the fighter, fully intending to practice every now and then, although who knew when distractions might come up. A sheepish grin was then passed to Hemi, "Aheh... yeah I suppose so." Ed felt like his attention was being pulled in a million different directions! It was no wonder his brain didn't overload.
Finally, the teen made his way to Lilianna to nuzzle her in greeting. "Are you ready?" he asked, before turning to those who still seemed to have their gazes on the both of them. "We'll see you all as soon as we get back." Poor Setsumi and Ronan had been waiting long enough... they should be going.

A smirk flitted Ronan's lips at the playful challenge. He didn't plan on slacking at all on this little trip. At least now he'd have someone to spar along the way...so long as he didn't cheat with alchemy. Eyes flicked over, chuckling as said kitsu was clung to by the floating kit. Thankfully, the belted femme pulled her off. He watched from the couch as she sat back in an almost timid and anxious manner. Terasu used to do the same; might still do it. Where was that boy anyways? Ronan blinked when Ed finally moved about, rolling eyes at the affections. "It's your call. Whenever you two are ready." He stood and stretched his back with a pop, before hopping off the couch.

Liliana purred and nuzzled Ed tenderly, letting her body convey how glad she was to be with him again. Tossing a smile at her family she moved to stand beside the alchemist, signifying where she chose to be. Hemi, grinning under the weight of Bryna on his head, hugged his sister & Ed then walked to hug Atae along with a sweet Hemi-nuzzle. "Take care, all of you. Ronan, Ginny sends her regards & hopes you will find time to visit her and the kits when they hatch or whenever you get back. Hemi, I will need to follow you to the Fierra place."
The young adult's baby blue eyes widened and Zell laughed at him, playfully tossing a few 'punches' his direction. "Bryna! Go to Spiky head!" "Hey!"
Giggling Liliana rested her head over Ed's neck. "Thanks for seeing us off..." She snuggled the fullmetal with a shyly happy smile. "I'm ready to go. Thanks for waiting."
The chocolate furred wizards waited until their 'passengers' were ready then dispparated the lot of them away.

It might have been the biggest outward sign Atae could have shown about her anxiety that she barely reacted to Hemi's hug and nuzzle this time, aside perhaps from leaning a little closer in an effort to seek some form of comfort. She was still staring off into nowhere.
Bryna immediately followed the order when given and attached herself to Zell again, sing-songing "Spiky~head~" as Remus moved over to collect his passengers. She waved at her uncle, but had occupied herself with nibbling on the back of Zell's shirt and so didn't greet him verbally.
Atae turned to look at Lily when the red-furred femme spoke again, smiling slightly in the way of someone who will miss the recipient but doesn't really know how to express it properly. And then the group disapparated and the four travelers were left to their departure.

Puh. Ronan was just jealous.
Standing next to Lily, Edward smiled fondly to his friends.. some of them now being family. Hemi was given a hug in return, and a wave of his paw given to Bryna. He -would- write to her, just like he promised.
The teen blinked then grinned as he felt Lilianna's head rest on his neck and snuggle against him. "No problem... Sorry it was such short notice." He had to wonder what would have happened if they'd left before Lilianna had told him of her... change of mind.
Looking on as the others apparated away, Ed tossed a smirk to Ronan, "We can go now." The alchemist having noticed the colorful kitsu's growing impatience. With a nuzzle and a nudge to Lily, Ed padded towards the exit, with intent of leading her.
