"Brother in law?" Toran said, watching the strange man with still wary eyes. As much as Toran didn't trust his own family, it would be easy to believe how little he liked Taka. "Well, do you need to talk to Sapheria?" He asked, scratching behind one ear nervously. "I bet she's awake..."

Taka visably winced at his sister's name as he lifted his head from the doorframe. He knew he was in for it, when he talked with her... His blue eyes looked back at Toran, and he nooded. "Yeah.. I need to."
Sapheria, who had roused at her son's consistant whimpering, gently pet the top of his head. "C'mon, Recayr... You need to sleep..."

"Fine. Stay here and don't be too loud. You'll wake the baby." Okay, so Recayr was probably still awake if Toran knew his adopted son. He turned with full confidence that Taka wouldn't hurt him. True, his heart proceeded to jump like a rabbit running from a wolf, but he still managed his way back to the rooms, checking Recayr's first. Seeing her there, he called softly. "Saph, there's someone here who wants to talk to you. He says he's your brother." He didn't doubt Taka, but it was safe to say 'he said'.

Taka blinked wildly at the message the man had given him(he didn't even know his name, jeez...). Baby...? He mouthed the word to himself. Oh man, would dad not swallow this well... The thought hit home at being an uncle, and a grin slowly made it's way to his face. Him, an uncle... He meandered inside the house, shutting the door behind him before leaning against it while taking in the house decor.
Blue eyes raised from Recayr to her husband slowly, half-asleep mind registering what he had said. Brother? Brother...? She blinked slightly. "...Taka's here...?" She left Recayr's cribside dispite his protests, and began to wander towards the front of the house. Her eyes widened as she spied her blonde-haired older brother leaning against the door, looking cooler then he sometimes acted. He grinned when he saw his sister walk in, ignoring the over-sized shirt she was dressed in that came down to her knees. "Hey Saph."

Toran nodded, glancing down at Recayr to make sure their little boy was okay. Once he was assured, the young man followed behind Saph to the front room, glancing at the other who seemed so... familiar with her. It put him slightly at ease. He sent up a thankful prayer to whatever gods would listen that it wasn't another member of his family shown up. Toran didn't think he could handle Tion in the dead of night.

Sapheria gazed at her sibling for a moment, before a small smile lit up on her face. "Hi Taka..." Sapheria briefly hugged her brother, before looking up at him as sternly as an exausted eighteen year old could. "Where've you been? How're you? How's.. dad?"
Taka laughed slightly, knowing that his sister would be a little suspicious of his coming. Well, how early was it? "I've been around.. and I'm perfectly fine. Dad's fine, too. He's been wanting to you two--I guess three now? Dang--and to see how his precious little angel's been doing." Taka pinched Sapheria's reddening cheek as she muttered about being a grown woman.

Toran watched the two, snorting slightly at Taka. There was no tension. It was... perfection. He envied them. Why couldn't his family be this easy to get along with? Not wanting to ponder any more on that subject, he piped up quietly, "Why'd you have to come this early?" Covering a yawn, he looked over Taka.

Taka glanced over at Toran, a lining of a smile still on his lips. "Well, you see... Our dad sent me to find you guys.. And I was going to come tomorrow morning... But I decided to come now instead!" The platinum blonde grinned, leaving his sister sighing. Oh yeah, that's the always optimistic Taka for you... He's cheery no matter WHAT hour of the day or night...

"Why did he send you to find us?" Surely Sapheria had told her parents where they lived. Unless she didn't want them to know. "And why come now?" He pushed some hair behind his ear, crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow cynically. He wanted sleep. He wanted to talk to Saph about this.

"He most likely didn't want to do it himself, and my father has always hated phones. For no reason, and that's why I never had a phone there when I was growing up." Sapheria stated softly, looking over at Toran. What was wrong..?
"Right! Well, almost right. He, err, also lost the address, so I had to spend a long time looking up the address in the phonebook... Also adds to the reason why I'm here so early: I didn't want to forget it." Taka was still grinning, seeming to not be affected by the fact they might be ticked at his showing up at their doorstep this late.

"Ah," the facts soothed his intense paranoia slightly, though he was still slightly untrusting. Winning Toran's approval wasn't apparently going to be that easy. "That makes a little more sense." He watched Saph, wondering what to do. Inviting her brother to stay the night should be her choice, not his...

Sapheria looked back at her brother, smiling. "Would you like to stay the night?" She read the surprise on his face easily. Taka looked from his sister to Toran.
"If it's alright with him... Then okay."

"It's fine with me," relief was clear in his voice. "You can sleep on the couch, I think. That sound okay?"

Taka smiled, walking over to the couch which would make his bed for the night. "Yeah, the couch is fine with me."
Sapheria had slipped to the hall closet, pulling out a small pillow and blanket for her Taka. She draped the blanket over the back of the couch, handing the pillow directly to Taka.
Setting the pillow on the end of the couch, Taka unfolded the blanket. "Well, goodnight. Oh, and thanks for letting me stay the night."

Toran nodded, turning back to go to bed. "You're welcome." When he lay down, he fell into an instant slumber haunted by visions of darkness and voices whispering, yelling, falling into silence, leaving him alone, aware that their eyes were on him, watching tirelessly.
---
He awoke in the morning as a chill went down his spine. Sitting up in bed, Toran rubbed his forehead, stopping an oncoming headache before it became too annoying. Checking that he was decently dressed, he wandered sleepily into Recayr's room to check on the infant. He found Recayr asleep, his mouth firmly closed over one of his toy fox's ears. Shaking his head slightly, he reached down and removed the fox gently, watching as the boy easily replaced the ear with his thumb, one ear twitching in a faint showing of his conciousness before he fell back into slumber.
Toran left his son and went slowly to the livingroom, something in his mind faintly remembering what had happened last night.
