Onuris started to crack open the crate with the armoir while Sy got help with the bench and table from Kiro seeing as they were both light enough that although it would cause minor strain, they could easily enough manage it in. After he opened the crate with the armoir, Onu, bearing most of the weight like he did with the other two before, used 'yasu's help to move it in.
All being said, they accepted help as long as the men were willing to give it, although there weren't that many more big items to move in after the armoir, bed, table, and bench. The cabinets could be assembled later and the stove and fridge could be wheeled in.
Delta blinked at this rather energetic Aerandir, just getting tired looking at him, and after a few moments watching him yawned, stretched, and flopped on the box, fast asleep.
((I goes to do HW, post at will guys ^^;;; ))

Ieyasu stood back, taking a short breather. It hadn't taken too long to move the rest of the furniture into the house, and now there was nothing left. Deciding that Sy and Onuris should be able to handle the rest, he decided to take his leave. A glance over at the two Aerandir only re-enforced his decision.
Osu crouched down on his belly, twisting his head around and looking up at Delta quizzically. Surely she couldn't be sleeping? Why would she want to sleep at a time like this?? For a few moments, he almost looked like he was going to try to wake her up, before he decided against it. What was he going to do now? Chirruping dejectedly, he mooched around, nosing at the now-empty crates. This was boring. Why did Lucius have to go?
Ieyasu headed over to Osu. "Come on, you. We're going now." He grinned at the little Aerandir. Osusuki perked up, giving a little cry as he bounded over to Ieyasu. Maybe he could find something to do now, or Ieyasu would play with him or something!
With the gryphon at his heels, Ieyasu turned to look over at the other three. Lifting a hand in farewell, he headed off back in the direction of his own house.

Not far off in the direction Ieyasu was heading, trudged one of the rather rarely-seen caretakers on the island. Kami, having seen the pleasant weather (even though it usually was good), had decided to take a walk. She sighed softly as a gentle breeze blew, and glanced back to be sure her little one was following. And, fortunately enough, he was. Mazin followed behind Keanu, lagging a bit, as was his habit.
The little badger-falcon mix trilled lightly, his stub of a tail giving a flick as he picked up his pace, glassy eyes glistening as he strove to observe everything about him. How wonderful it would be to do a little soaring today, he thought to himself, glancing in light frustration at Kami. She was constantly commenting on how he was becoming so big, yet she continued to insist that he keep close. It could be quite a bother sometimes, but he could forgive her for that. She was only human, afterall. Glancing back, he gave a sharp chirp, teasing the little blue dragon who went by the name of Mazin.
Kami stopped for a moment to pick the poor creature up, and cast a smirk at Keanu. "Now you, you really shouldn't scold him. You're the one who woke him up so we could drag him along in the first place." she said, resolving to carry Keanu's playmate, for the time being. Looking up from Keanu, she caught sight of the other Aerandir caretaker, heading her way. She smiled, and called out. "Hello there!" she lifted a hand to wave, and started for him, a smile on her face.

Osusuki bounced around, flapping his wings and leaping up off of the ground for a brief spell before landing back on all fours again. Eager to be actually doing something once more, he trumpeted noisily.
"We're only walking.. calm down" Ieyasu sighed, shaking his head in mild amusement. He really could be so excitable. Hearing some noise up ahead, he glanced up. Further ahead on the dirt path there was somebody that he hadn't seen before, along with what looked like an Aerandir and ...something else.
As the girl called out a greeting to him, he raised a hand in reply, heading over towards her. The kitsune wondered who she wasm and wondered what the little blue creature in her arms was.
Osusuki, of course, shot off as he saw the other Aerandir. Charging towards Keanu, he skidded to a halt a short distance from the other gryphon, his paws sending up a little spray of sandy dirt. Curiously, he stared at the unfamiliar Aerandir, tilting his head and chirruping. Maybe this one would be friendly enough to play!
As Ieyasu approached, following a short distance after the energetic gryphon, he could see the other little shape more clearly now. It looked suspiciously ....dragon-shaped. Oh, you have got to be kidding me? There's a *dragon* here!? Sure, it was only little now. But they got bigger. And stronger. And more likely to rip your soul from your body. Boom. That was the end of you. He resisted the instinctive urge to attempt to electrocute the little creature. Afterall... that would probably piss off this girl. He didn't understand why some people seemed to like dragons. Nasty, vile creatures.
Keeping a suspicious eye on the blue reptile, he then grinned awkwardly at the unfamiliar guardian. "Ah.. hey..."

Kami put on a friendly smile, trying to swallow her shy feelings. She didn't think herself very good at mixing with other people, but she knew it would be good to take the chance to make a new friend. She had to stop and watch the stranger's Aerandir for a moment though, and surpressed a chuckle. Keanu was sure to like him, being quite rambunctious himself. She turned back to Ieyasu, and nodded, adjusting her hold on Mazin, who was still curled up in her arms. "Hello there!" she said, bowing shortly. There was a bit of a blush on her face, she hoped she didn't seem silly to just approach him out of the blue. "I'm sort of new on the island...I haven't been out much." she expained, and put out a hand, taking Mazin in one arm. "My name's Kami!" she said, giving an awkward laugh.
Keanu let out a squawk as the new Aerandir charged forward, nearly falling back as Osusuki made his short halt. His feathers ruffled out and he chirped loudly, but quickly collected himself, his feathers smoothing out as he calmed. He chirred, and fluttered his wings, ridding them of a few flecks of dirt that had befallen them. Rising again, he observed Osusuki with a similar stare, his beady black eyes looking the other over while pawing at the dirt idley with one of his badgerish paws, creating shallow scratch-marks in the sandy ground...
While Kami introduced herself, Mazin watched, and looked up at the silver-haired stranger, observing him with his sleepy, silvery eyes. He yawned, displaying his two sets of sharp teeth, for about a second. Mazin was a dragon, of some sort, but you culd barely tell, from the way he acted. Kami had come to the decision that he was already full grown, seeing as he'd been with them for weeks, with no real changes in size or behavior. He was a good friend and playmate to Keanu, anyway, so Kami had resolved to keep him around.

Ieyasu grinned a little more easily, his eyes slipping from the little dragon for just a moment. "I didn't think I'd seen you before. Nice meeting you - the name's Ieyasu." His gaze fell back to the dragon again as it yawned. He took a slight step back. "I ..er.. take it that's yours....?"
Osu trotted around Keanu in a circle, his tail flicking as he checked out the other Aerandir. Coming full circle, he seemed satisfied. Chirruping happily, he crouched down on his belly, as if inviting the other gryphon to play. With his wings slightly splayed and his tail still flicking, he appeared as though he was either about to tackle Keanu or take off.

She smirked. "Nice meeting you too." she watchjed him, and her smile faded a little as he stepped back. She patted Mazin, and nodded to the question. "Yep. We sorta found him when I got here. He didn't seem to be afraid of me, and he plays with Keanu, so he's good to have around." she smiled, and set the little blue dragon down, chuckling as he seated himself lazily.
Keanu saw Osusuki's stance, and immediately bounced back, his own speckled wings spread, his stubby tail wagging lightly. He chittered softly, watching Osusuki intensely, ready for any game he wanted to play. This was a lot better than trying to play tag with a sleepy Mazin, that was for sure.

"I...see.." He watched the dragon for a moment. Get a grip! It's tiny! You could step on it for god's sake! You big wimp! He decided he was being stupid over this whole thing. Surely he could manage to ignore the dragon for now. Looking back to Kami, he grinned. "Keanu.. is that the name of that little guy then?" He motioned down to the badger Aerandir below.
Great! Keanu was going to play! With a delighted shriek, Osu suddenly took off, racing down the path. Once he had reached a fair distance, he spun around to see if Keanu had followed. It was always fun having somebody who'd actually join in with his games!

Kami smiled, and turned to watch the two. "Yes, that's Keanu." she chuckled at their antics, and glanced at the fox-crane Aeandir, observing him curiously. "Your little one is quite interesting." she mused, waiting to see how Keanu would react to Osusuki. She thought and hoped that Keanu would be happy to meet someone new, and have a new playmate, as he was constantly playing games with Mazin, and loved to play games with Kami herself.
And, Kami was right. Moments after Osusuki ran off, the little badger Aerandir was hot on his trail, letting out a shrill cry, scurrying to catch his new aquaintance, not being able to run quite as fast as Osusuki could. He loved games like tag, especially since he was quite speedy when airborne.

Foenix ambled along one of the many paths winding through the rougher part of the island, Nehanda swooping her misty body in, out, and around the trees surrounding them. They were searching for wood betony, a key ingredient in one of the salves they were preparing back home. Annoyingly enough, it did not grow well in gardens, but thrived well in the "wild."
Nehanda merped over to her left, and she turned to see the whispy creature pointed to a small plant growing up against the side of a tree. It was about a foot high, and topped with a pretty whorl of purple-red blooms.
"Good job, Nehanda!" Foenix congratulated the Aerandir. she knelt down and busily began to harvest both flowers and leaves, taking only enough that the plant would easily recover.

"Hah... Interesting isn't the word. He never sits still, not for a second. He's up at the crack of dawn, and makes sure that I'm up too."
He cast a quick glance over in the direction of the little dragon, just to make sure it hadn't moved, before looking back at Kami. He grinned, before turning to watch the pair of gryphons take off down the beach.
Osusuki crouched on the ground, his rear in the air as he waited for Keanu to catch up with him. It was great finding a new friend! Excitedly, he trumpeted, spreading his broad white and black wings. His bushy tail flicked back and forth as he prepared to pounce the badger gryphon, just like Lucius had pounced on him before.

Fae and Pueblo had finished cleaning up the paint in the backyard as they carried back empty cans and the messy canvas tarp. Now all they had to do was deliever tomorrow! As Fae placed the cans on the front porch, she watched people moved around the evening air. People were actually alive! And among one of them were Foenix, walking down the path. Exchanging a look with Pueblo, they mentally agreed to go visit her. Quickly, they each walked after side by side, Pueblo chosing to fly around in the air.
Entering the woods, Fae finally saw Foenix had rested at a spot near a tree. "Hey Foenix!" She called out, stepping over a tree root. Ducking under a low branch, she felt Pueblo's wings beat behind her as she perched the nearby branch. "What're you looking at?" The transparent Nehanda hadn't been noticed yet, but Pueblo gave a low, deep, unheard of noise she'd never been known to do. Giving her a funny look, she wondered what was wrong.

Foenix turned her head at Fae's greeting, then closed the sack she had brought to gather the betony and stood with a broad smie. "Fae! Boy, it's been ages, hasn't it? It's really good to see you."
Nehanda twirled as she heard Pueblo winging forward. Her face transformed from its concered study into a smile that looked quite etheral on her translucent face. With a giggle, she whirled up through the air and twirled about her friend.

Kami couldn't help but chuckle at Ieyasu's reply. "I know how you feel. Keanu's done that to me plenty of times before. What is his name, anyway?" she asked with interest, referring to Osusuki. He was a funny little guy, but in a good way. She couldn't really admit that any Aerandir gryphon she'd met so far looked normal, but that's what made them special.
With a short screech, Keanu leapt at Osusuki at the last moment, also having had planned a pouncing attack. His thoughts almost matched the others, he was overjoyed to have a companion who was just as energetic as he.
Kami watched them with a smile, glad to see her hopes had been confirmed.
