He looked at her for a moment, a bit taken aback as the lady before him introduced herself to him as Jade Saewin. At least, that was the name he thought he heard before she offered him a drink, to which he only shook his head in response to decline. Gazing at her in mild interest in curiosity, his tail began to sway slowly as though it were testing the waters before he plunged in head first.
"Did you say your name was Jade Saewin?" he managed to ask as he followed her to the bar slowly, allowing her to reach her destination much sooner than he had. Keeping to his thoughts he wondered why he had not recognized her before. "Definitely not the way I remember you," he muttered rather loudly under his breath, not having realized exactly how audible the words to himself were.
Another one too, the scent of another woman from the lounge. He couldn't focus too well on it, but it vaguely struck him as Miss 'Pith, which made him realize how awkward it might be that he had not introduced himself formally before speaking to her so casually. Maybe he could rectify that later.
Just as he considered that fact, a figure appeared without warning on a bar stool. He did not jump, but his ears did start to flick wildly for a moment. Didn't recognize that guy anyway.

Yenek waved a hand around in the air and grabbed the Dr.Pepper that appeared before him, he closed his eyes and concentrated. "I'll have to restock my fridge," he said to himself as he opened his eyes.

Lifting an diagram as if to map out a section of the library she mage scowled a bit seemingly feeling ignored with the exchange between the two. A side of her realized that the guise of having several stacks of papers strewn about ones self almost always meant for other stay away. Unks usually made it his duty to get out of sight whenever she had done as such in their room.
Realizing how childish she was acting she set down the papers groaning inwardly in an exasperated tone. Truth be told she was she was done with her endeavor save for a few tomes that she was sure where to place. What section made sense to place a book about food as art. It was indeed something contemporary and thus could be put in the art section, but at the same time, she found that it could just as easily be put in her culinary arts section it also depicted recipes.
Sometimes she wished she hadn't made deals with so many publishers, but her inquisitive nature many times stifled any attempt to streamline the archives.
Banishing the man stacks with a wave of her hand the mage rose to her feet deciding to join the others. Making note of Jades fitting green dress she remarked on the other woman's figure. One could almost forget how striking she was with the way she normally dressed. Judging from Kenta's expression, it was definitely noticed.
She herself was clad a black silk shirt which conformed to her figure, giving a notion of her shape without actually revealing much skin save for the arms. Flowing the line of her hips she wore knee length flower print red skirt with an uneven hem line that revealed a bit of leg. Matching the skirt she wore calf high oxblood boots. She wasn't really one to advertise her body but she still liked to look good.
Rising to her feet, beginning to replace the cushions she made not of Kenta's greeting bowing her head.
"Hello Kenta...feeling better today?"
Interestingly enough she had never actually spoken to the boy save for the rather rude encounter the day before. But she had done her research the previous evening. Replacing the last cushion she departed for the bar area where people seemed to be gathering.

Jade paused slightly on her way to the bar, turning back to look at Kenta before continuing behind it. She blinked her green eyes, now very curious about this boy. He knew her? But, how, they had only just met, right...?
The girl ducked behind the counter for a moment, before popping back up with a bottle of water in hand. Kenta hadn't wanted anything, and it seemed Yenek was taking care of himself. So Jade stepped out from behind the bar again and over to the silver kitsune. She looked him over, trying to see any familiarity in his face.
"Yes, that is my name, hun. Did you say that you 'remember' me?"
She smiled slightly, uncapping her water and taking a slow sip.

Yenek noticed the other woman in the room. His fangs stuck out of his bottom lip as his eyes showed her a smile. "Good evening miss," he said in a polite tone. Using his free left hand he added a friendly wave to his greeting.
Following the eyes of the other woman Yenek could tell from the way the woman looked at Jade she was assesing her appearence, Yenek was never one for appearences, he wore a green traveling cloak, a loose-fitting purple polo shirt, black pants, black boots, and his hat which he rarely removed from his purple locks, not slobbish simply unconcerned with his own appearence, his clothing accented no part of him, they didn't even mimic his demeanor.

((Okies, Yenek. Here's the scoop. Please, please put a little more effort into your posts. One-liner entrances? We both know you can do a little better than that. And it would be very appreciated.
Thank you. [/Modmode]))

He sort of froze in place all at once as Jade asked him if he mentioned remembering her and Miss 'Pith greeted him. It wasn't because he didn't know who to answer first, but rather that he wanted to be sure it was okay to tell Jade, and by effect everyone else in earshot, what he said and why he said it. It would do him no good to be careless, however he did wish he could keep the secret from several people instead of just one. For him, it was that much harder, but should he start inquiring of KenoTao, it would seem extremely awkward without reason.
"I'm feeling fine now, thank you Miss 'Pith," he answered kindly, nodding to her with a bright smile that made his ebony hair sparkle as it danced on his head. "I hope you're doing just as well." Not wanting to seem flaky, he watched her for a moment, deciding it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a good look at her. Nothing too out of the ordinary with her. A woman dressed as a woman. Fitting.
In a lighter voice he responded to Jade feeling it was better to just speak plainly about the issue rather than try to make it overly dramatic and whatnot. "I did say I remember you, yes Ba-chan." He paused for a moment, turning to be sure that his future mother was nowhere to be found in case he missed her by chance. "You see, I'm your nephew - KenoTao's son - though I haven't exactly been born yet." He smiled nervously as he looked at her, feeling somewhat apologetic though he did not know why. Therefore he turned to look at Epithany for a moment, knowing she would have heard as well before returning his youthful gaze back to his Aunt.

Making her way over to the others she settled down atop a barstool, propping her chin her palms. Bowing her head in greeting to the strange man present she smiled.
"Evening to you as well sir."
Gazing rest of the crowd sidelong she made no expression of shock or disbelief at what the young Kitsune had said. Unbeknown to him she had already put the pieces together of his presence within the Orion.
It helped that she was a time/space mage and could also feel a slight flux in his presence on the time stream. Thankfully such occurrences were much more prominent that people actually knew. Unless someone made a foolish mistake that damaged their chance of existing, they could weave in and out of time as they saw fit. The fact that he was so readily making himself known had perhaps already created a few minor paradoxes, but to her knowledge, time seemed quite capable of accommodating such things.
Studying the boy from afar just as she had his aunt, she remarked on how the mix of Ichigo and Keno had produced a such a attractive child. He seemed to have gained much from both parents and that much was very much apparent.
"Haha...I would slow down with all the blatant explanations of your being here. Too much interference and you cause a entirely new time line. Then again, you already have."
Smirking she shrugged.
"Welcome none the less."

'Ba-chan'?! Aunt?! Jade seemed to go blank for a moment as her mind wrapped around the phrase. She came back to reality thorugh when Kenta explained further. Of course. Keno....Kenta. How did she miss that, especially with his coloring.
Her mind was sharp in most cases, and this was no exception. "Ichigo." It was more of a confirmation to herself than spoken to anyone, about who his mother was. How else could he get Keno's coloring, while still being kitsune?
But once her mind was finished, within a matter of seconds, one of her largest smiles ever lit her face. Still, she wondered why he couldn't have recognized her. Obviously, he had to be from the future of somesort if he hadn't been born yet here. Could she have changed that much?
Suddenly realizing she hadn't greeted Pith yet, a light blush covered the girls cheeks. "My apollogies, Epithany, for not greeting you sooner. I hope everything is well with you and Unks."
Then she turned back to the young man revealed to be her future nephew. Resisting the urge to ask about what was to come years down the road, Jade settled with one question to start with.
"How did you get here?"
((Not a bad start Yenek.))

Were it not for the fact that Jade was speaking directly to him, Kenta very well might have fallen asleep right there at the bar. Standing up no less. Apparently he was still a bit wet behind the ears, not being one to really stay up late as he had no reason, but always rising close to day break. He knew that most people his father associated with could probably go days without sleep if they had to, but not Kenta, and as he realized how tired he really was, he decided it would be best to head off before he wound up answering more questions than he could handle.
"Thank you for welcoming me here, and please be sure not to take offense if I don't talk to you much growing up. I tend to keep Father's connections at arm's length." His voice was so cold, though he meant absolutely no harm. Still though, he knew that when he finally was born he would grow up to talk to not only Epithany, but all of them less and less as they became steadily more useless and irritating to him. For now though, all of them were like completely new people and he had no trouble communicating with them.
Looking at his Aunt again with soft, tender eyes, he smiled at the mention of his loving mother and seemed to be all too proud of her in his own way. With a nod, he took in her question, but clearly made a point not to blow the whole thing too far out of proportion, especially since he hadn't built the machine and barely knew how it worked. "The short answer is that Father knows someone who built a time machine. It wasn't something many people knew about."
Cutting himself short he approached Jade and gave her a very warming hug, the kind he use to give her as a child, though he only ever reached her belly button then and his short arms would only just make it completely around her waist. Being able to rest his head on her shoulder and actually hold her firmly was an interesting change. "It's nice to see you Ba-chan." With another smile and a charismatic wave, broken only by the rather wide yawn he could not suppress, he bid his company a polite farewell as he made his way to the door, being unable to use his father's signature form of travel. That was something he always hated about the guy...

Yenek had wanted to hear about the abvility of time travel but when the worlds "TIme Machine" escaped the young man's lips Yenek frowned. "Damn," he muttered. He had been trying to master Time Magic for some time now and was making little progress. Time was outside of Yenek's control as it was not part of the physical world but as he used more and more symbology Yenek had come up with a basic seal. "Time Flux" Yenek could make a second an hour but sustaining the seal was a problem he had yet to solve.
