A knowing grin appeared on Charity's face as her mother spoke while the bird landed upon Nessa's horn. She too, knew who had arrived. Although a glance was passed in Terasu's direction, remember a discussion from before, while also noticing the distant look in his eyes. Being careful not to disturb the kits, she reached out a paw to touch her mate in a somewhat reassuring fashion.
Once Jade had finished her meal, the green and white kit rolled over an into one of her siblings, Faith. Her nose twitching and muzzle turning into a frown in distaste at someone invading her little bubble of personal space.
The bird on Nessa's horn, turned its hollow gaze towards the feathered male who was his daughters mate. Then back to Charity and the kits. Head cocking slightly at the implied tones in Nessa's words. It was then that the avian fluttered to the ground, and its formed shifted and morphed into the all too familiar Envy that we all know and love. "I got the hint already" he muttered with a slight roll of his eyes and then a smirk in Nessa's direction. With a toss of green hair, he sat himself, while peering at the kits again. "Colorful little brats, aren't they?"
Charity smirked at her father's choice of words, not seeming to mind as that's simply how Envy was.

Terasu gave a simple nod, half listening to what Atae had said. It seemed likely that they would argue with such genetics backing them. A sigh escaped the male just as Charity gave him a touch, a smile being given in response. Green eyes looked back down as the kits wriggled around. Two were still feeding, while two others were bumping into each other. He grinned and laid out, stretching a paw to the two for them to inspect however they wish.
His body tensed immediately as the bird took it's true form. White tails moved to curl behind his belted friend as Terasu gave a sharp glance to the sin. For now, no words need be spoken. His attention turned back to the "brats".

"Hmm...." Nessa murmured in agreement, of a sort. She thought they were all amazing looking. If she wasn't mistaken, a couple of them had similar markings to Envy, Charity and Chastity. "And they are all quite active."
She really did hope to have small ones wiggling around them again sometime in the future. She wasn't in a hurry at the moment though. For now, she wouldn't mind playing grandma around the new family, so long as Envy didn't drag her off somewhere for alone time.

A chirp? The little male was distracted from what he had been intent on a moment before -what had he been intent on a moment before?- hand fell face first in the bean bag as he tried to turn & orient on the new sound. From the one that smelled all different? Rolling on his back he batted that way making funny little noises that might be for play.
Then there was something different. Faith did not know what it was. Something small was big in his nose now. What was that? He wanted to...
oooo... something near. Paw? Of the one that shared scents of the small warmths and had scent of the food-giving-warmth on him? Rolling again, Faith floundered forward, sniffing curiously. Then umph! He tripped and mewed unhappily, small head upon the large paw. Huh? On the paw?
"Yip!" Dark tri-colored tails wagged at his success and he sniffed more before starting to nom on the paw. Nom. Nom. Nom. ^_^

Having finished feeding, Cope remained close to his mother, pressed against her belly as if he suddenly feared coming into contact with any other little warmths that shared the bean bag. There were lots of noises around them now. Banded ears flicked, slowly but surely starting to distinguish the tone difference in the sound blurbs he heard. It wouldn't be long before he was able to understand words.
Still, at this point, he felt most comfortable sticking to the large warmth. Solid-colored tails flicked about his form, brushing his sides and paws. He was already practicing every Kitsu's most used method of personal 'protection,' curling his tails around himself.

If it seemed at all odd to any of the other adults present that Atae was utterly unsurprised by Envy's revelation of his identity, well... she didn't really know what she'd say. Eh. Mostly she was surprised that she was picking up anything from him. And maybe even Nessa. Charity and the kits she could understand the little blips of 'presense' from. They were linked to Terasu, and she'd been around for two very major events in their lives. So if her empathy gave her a general impression of when they were around when she was paying attention to such impulses... whatever. maybe it was because of the indirect link to Envy and Nessa via Charity?
She was thinking too much and went back to watching the kits, snickering softly when Faith started nomming on Terasu's paw. She felt like making some sort of response to Envy's comment, though. "Of course they're colorful... they've got some rather spectacular genetics on both sides of the family." She might not like Envy, but there was no denying he did indeed have some spectacular genetic traits to pass on down the line. And she couldn't help wondering if the shapeshifting genetic had as much to do with the mad variety of colors and patterns here as Terasu's pigmentation.

A broad toothy grin spread across his face as Envy lifted his forelegs and shoulders in a shrug. His head tilted to the side in an almost too cheerful expression, "Well what can I say?" he said in responce to Atae. Despite the apparant cheeriness there was always a light undertone of malice. "Green is a good color!" a paw lightly poking at the feathered boy and the green and white girl.
Jade squeaked lightly at the paw that touched her, but it was harmless and she merely twitched her nose as she sniffed in its direction.
Charity nodded and grinned in agreement with her father's words, "It is a good color." She was also surprised that Terasu was sticking around and behaving himself in Envy's presence.

Terasu was admittedly biting tooth and nail to mind his temper. If there was one kitsu he ever chose to despise, it was the on that flew in the window. His attention was turned tensely back to his young, brow raising as his purple son decided to chew on his paw. Greaat. His gaze turned to Atae, as if he was just now told of the genetics. That's right, how much had that affected this new generation? Did only one get stuck with the abnormal traits?
Brows furrowed as a random poke interupted the kit's peace. Nyh gave a grumble in no specific direction. One of those sounds had bothered her. She wriggled her nose, tiring of all the strange scents so new to her. Where was her egg? With ears turned back, she crawled sluggishly across the beanbag. The food-warmth was a good place to rest, if this other small thing would move out of her way! Grumpy, she began gnawing out at the soft thing, which turned out to be Jade's tail.

Nessa had the feeling that Terasu hopefully knew that she would allow no harm to come to any of the young, neither would the mother obviously. She may be part nightmare but it didn't mean she didn't care for certain lives. And these were definitely up in the ranks.

Sounds continued. Talking sounds. Faith did not understand them. It did not matter. He had a paw to nom & the paw had not moved. ^_^ Tri-colored tails made little pat sounds where they struck or swished across the bean bag. His eyes made happy creases around the odd pale -by comparison- stripe upon his face. Nom. Nom. Nom. ^_^
Faith yawned, his tiny pink tongue sticking out from the darkness of his mouth. He head-butted the now damp paw -rather forcefully actually- then flopped over on his back in the universal 'I want my belly rubbed' posture. Said belly was rounded from his recent meal, making it look like the kit had swallowed a baseball.
