Oy? Bloody? SHIRT?!
Liam sniffled nonchalantly and tried to peel his eyes away. Eh...what was the use?!
"I told ye. Yanno, metal conducts 'eat...er cold. Maybe we should be gettin' inside?" he said, trying quite hard to not stare directly into Erishi's chestal section.
"Thank'oo," Ike said, and then placed the snowman down, "Whuh? Ike's teef?" He scratched a bleach-white fang with his nail and brushed against one the the many scars on his gums.
"Sharp, too. Shammi shouldn't touch."

She dabbed at a few spots of wet with the tank top before lookng up at Liam. "Yes, lets!" She said cheerily. "Water would probably short you out, so no shower. We should stick to a couch in front of a fire with some blankets or something." The bright haired girl paused and looked around. "Didn't I come here with a baby?"
"Pe'ee." Shammi said, leaning in and fingering her own gums. "No teefs." She looked somewhat depressed at that thought. Teeth were pretty.

"I...I meant alone," Liam paused, but then realized just about how bad that could sound, "I mean...to our respective rooms! You to yours and me to mine. My friend'll be wanting her son back." He gave a nervous laugh, realizing that he was rambling. He used one arm to scratch the back of his neck and the other to point to the children.
"Nope. Shammi dun't got teefs," Ike said, "but Shammi c'n co-own Ike's teefs, kay?" It was a simple gesture, but it meant a lot to him...

Erishi blinked. "Oh. So hot chocolate and a war movie some other time, then. I was going to let you use my shower to heat yourself up quick, but I bet you'd short circut. Jenny even put a thing on the fireplace so it won't burn anything. You'll have to bring your cute kitten over sometime to play with Shammi." Beaming, she patted him on the cheek with her metallic hand before moving over to see Shammi.
"Naa Iiee." Shammi smiled, reaching over to pat Ike on the cheek much like Erishi would have. She looked up at the woman looming over her, one eye still focused on Ike.
"Hi, Shammers! Did you make a furry new friend?" She asked, apparently unaware that her tank top still hung from her hand.

Liam sighed with relief and and gave a quick laugh. He'd have to stop taking her so much to heart, he would.
"C'mon Malachi, ol' buddy ol' pal...time ter go!"
Ike, not quite sure what was going on, peered up at Erishi with his ears folded as far back as they'd stretch.
"Bye, Shammi! C'ming, Leem!" Ike gave a wide grin and a wave to Shammi before scampering over to Liam.
Mummy was going to love this...

Erishi blew them both a kiss. "Bai-Bai, my fluffy dah-lings!" She called, making Shammi wave at them. Shammi smiled.
"Baaai, Iiie!"
"Now, inside! My boobs are cold." With that, she padded back towards the main buildings.

~At The Playground~
Liam sat on a swing, slowly pushing himself back and forth with one foot and holding a pen between his front teeth. He held a pad of paper up in front of him to catch the light and read its contents.
"No, no...all wrong..." he said and put the pad in his lap, beginning to writefuriously on another page.
Ike was sitting at the very top of the playground, humming and swishing his tail slowly. He stared at the sky and the trees, admiring nature as a whole.
Gosh, was he lonely.

Reid sat up atop his Mu's shoulders, humming happily. He'd woken up that morning and their home had been coated in the white fluffy cold stuff and now they were here and it was warm again! He'd gotten to fight off his siblings [well, his brother really as he and his sister had teamed up to fend of the hail of snowballs] and could now play in the sandbox, the best of both worlds!
Beneath him Chao was humming as well [to a completely different tune than her son] eyes sweeping over the still living grass, stepping into the green area was like stepping into another world, minus the exhaustion that came from world traveling.
Looking up she sighted a familar form atop the playground and raised her shoulders in a nudge, "hey Reid, lookee who it is."
"Hrm?" the firefly replied, pausing in his humming to look up. His eyes and torso lit up and he launched himself off his Mu's shoulders, "IKE!"

"REID!" Ike's head whipped around and a broad grin spread across his face. He peered down at the ground and, deciding it was much too high, motioned for Reid to join him.
"C'mon! C'mup here!"
Upon hearing Chao's voice, Liam hurriedly stuffed the note pad into his uniform, sticking it violently into an inner pocket. He peered around for a moment before placing the pen behind his right ear and waving slightly.
"Allo, Chao."

Flapping his wings as hard as he could he could Reid made his way over and up, managing a more-graceful-than-usual landing next to his friend, who he immediately hugged in greeting.
"How Ike?"
"Heya Liam," Chao greeted warmly, stepping over and joining the older man on the swings, brushing her down for once hair out of the way so she wouldn't sit on it. "How're you this fine day?"

Ike giggled and hugged Reid back.
"Ike good. How Reid?"
"I'm doin' alright. Could be better. You?" he smiled shyly and looked Chao over, not realizing what he was doing, although, when he did, he blushed slightly and quickly looked toward hte ground.

"Reid good! Reid got'a d'fend off'a'fort today," Reid replied proudly, puffing out his chest slightly before leaning back against two of his hands, "wha's Ike be'n doin?"
The teen wasn't paying attention, having pulled down the skirt that was covering her jeans so that the lumps under her butt would stop hurting it she pushed off and began to pump her legs back and forth, gaining altitude.
"I've been good! It snowed today at home, which was nice, but then my kids decided I'd make a good target and... that wasn't so good. Three against one is never fair."

"Nice," Ike gave a half-hearted smile and hugged his knees, "Ike's been...been..."
He could think of a single interesting thing he'd done recently.
"Ike's been playin' bass...ba'ly."
"Ugh. Snow," Liam gave a slight laugh and rested his elbows on his knees, "Yanno, it used to snow a lot back 'ome. Feet and feet. Snowed in for days. Got snow down my pants the othe' day. Not so fun." He debated whether or not to tell Chao about Rabid.
"Things are...pretty good."

Reid looked up in the sky, eyes roaming over the fluffy shapes, "does Ike still like Ike's bass?"
The teen shuddered, "ugh, snow down anything is awful!" she agreed emphaticly.
At the sudden assurance that things were fine Chao glanced over. Extra assurance usually meant... the opposite. Or that something was worrying whoever had said it. Unless Liam just had a one track mind or something.
She hopped off the swing, tripped up the landing and fell on her butt. Unfazed she merely flopped onto her back and looked at Liam, though he was now upsides down, "did something happen?"

"Yuh," Ike peered out over the horizon, "Iss hard, though. Ike's fingers're too long. Veeo-leen hurt Ike's ears."
Liam's eyes flickered to Chao's face, and he attempted a sincere smile.
"Nothin' more 'n usual, luvHERK!" The notepad that had been tucked in his pocket now slid loose and landed at his feet. He scrambled to pick it up and put it back, "Nothin'."
