Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yaraif panicked. The huge green critter was coming right for her!

"Malv!" she yelped, chucking her egg at the poor Cait's forehead. As soon as it left her hands, her eyes widened in shock and guilt.

Locke: *still on the ground* What was that? *dizzily tries to stand upright, teeters, & lands on his rump with a thump* Tien...? What happened? *sees multiple copies of Tien & Yaraif flying around his head* & when did all these other kunkun arrive?
Tien: yureshe... *eyes widen* uh-oh. Ihi ene yegdre. *glances at Yaraif worridly* Leln bere Locke, Yarf? Leln hurt tan?

((arg. thought the guilds were still down not knowing the links had changed. gotsta redo those bookmarks now. grr.))
Locke: *eyes nearly cross trying to watch Yaraif stroking the bump between his eyes. Well at least I know which one is real now yellow eyes nearly roll back in his head as the cait attempts to translate all the easter kun is saying*
It's okay! It's okay! Saneris! *swaying wobbly he smiles* That's some aim you have there. I'm more stunned than hurt. Really!
Tien: *frowns worridly, as if it doesn't believe him*
*laughs at the kuns attention* Really! I'm fine!
*to himself: I'm just glad no girls saw that! Nearly knocked out of my skull by a kun & a tiny colored thing!*

Tien: *looks back & forth between Locke & Yaraif a few times before seeing karge tears forming in the other kuns violet eyes* Yureshe... Leln cry? *its own eyes fill with tears as Tien looks briefly at Locke for answers* Leln Yarf cry? Leln?
Locke: *baffled. can't speak but stares. he's never seen a kun cry*

Tien casts a frantic glance at Locke, who shrugs in response. The cait does not know what to do either. Tentatively Tien gives Yaraif a hug, awkwardly patting her back. s'okay... s'okay. San ene hafta know leln. Erenede leln too.
Looking at its new pelae Tien waits expectantly, as if the knowledge that neither of them knows why will make it all better.
Locke watches with bemused interest. This is a side of kuns he's never seen before. Oh, he'd seen Olly helping Vytor out, sure. But he never thought that Tien would have that kind of caring in it. It's okay, Yaraif. I'm fine. Really. We can play more later if you want.
((I'm trying out the way you type a RP. It seems to flow better than what I've gotten used to doing. *grins* Not really sure why I started RPing on Gaia the way I have been. Probably got used to chat emoting or something & then just passed it on through pet RP. Of course since I only have Locke & Tien I really don't have many pets to worry about. *feels Shippou's eyes boring into the back of her head* sweatdrop & Shippou too of course.))

((I took too long typing the first post & forgot to copy it before I posted but I'd been logged off Gaia! *cries* I tried to re-write it, but it's not the same. ))

Yaraif's hiccup-choke startled Tien, but not as much as her subsequent fainting. That she kept muttering kunkunese did little to reassure Tien. "Heke?!?" The kun turned worried, watery violet eyes on Locke expectantly.
Yaraif just fainted! I didn't know kuns could do that. He was staring at Yaraif, shaking his head in disbelief. I guess all creatures can faint. Realizing Tien was waiting for an answer to a question he had not been listening to Locke gulped. "It's okay, Tien. Yaraif just fainted. It'll be fine soon." I hope
"Heke faint? Heke San-Ere do-ooooo?" Tien clutched its new friend to it painfully as tears welled up higher in its eyes nowhere near belaying the fear inside. Locke stared wide-eyed for a few seconds, uncertain whether Yaraif's tendency to stretch out her vowels had rubbed off on Tien from their proximity or was simply due to overtaxed emotions & fear.
"Fainting is, ah... kinda like falling asleep. Only not intentionally." Lowering his head nervously, Locke rubbed his nose on the back of his leg. When he rose Locke happily saw that there were only one of each kun in sight again & grinned, continuing in a much more self-assured fashion. "All I know to do for fainting is to let them sleep it off. We should take Yaraif somewhere comfy for that. Maybe we can nap too."
Tien nodded, letting the words soak in. "Com-fy?" Releasing the death-grip on her kun pelae Tien's eyes sparkled as it came to some inner conclusion. "Shippou!"
"Huh?"Locke's eye band crinkled & his mouth droped as he gaped at the kun. "Shippou? What's he got to do with any of this?"
However Tien was paying Locke little heed as it lifted Yaraif, egg and all, and headed towards where they had left Shippou earlier. "Idme yegdre com-fy Yaraif sleep. Shippou's tail teln yegdre-est com-fy sleep! Mirai Yaraif sleep Shippou's yegdre-est com-fy tail!"
Locke ducks his head dejectedly & follows Tien. Shippou's not going to like this,,,
The cait can hear the sounds of the river when Tien flies vehemently into his face. Its tiny nearly white hands press against the cait's black nose in a futile yet energised effort to stop him. Startled, he does.
Violet eyes flash warningly up at him from the edge of his nose. "Shhhhhhhhhhh!!" The little kun hushes Locke, glaring at him with warning. "Pelae sleep!"
Locke sat abruptly, stunned at the power in Tien's whispered words. Shaking his head to clear it from having looked cross-eyed at Tien down his nose, he peers around the kun to see behind it. Well, wha'd'a know?
Shippou was sleeping in a partially shady spot near the stream, fluffy tail curled around til it covered his nose, turning him into a little red ball of fur. On top of the fox's tail Tien had made a nest of sorts in which Yaraif lay sleeping where Tien had placed her, curled around her "eggu" gently. Smiling to himself Locke tiptoed behind Shippou under Tien's watchful glare & curled around his familiar with a yawn. Still smiling he laid his head on his paws & encircled the fox with his tail before closing his eyes. Who'd'a guessed?
Hovering, Tien warily watched the cait until his breathing slowed & it knew he was asleep. Satisfied the kunkun flew to Locke's tail & found a place to make a bed. Taking a final reassuring glance at Yaraif, Tien wiggled between the long green furs of the cait's tail until it had a green fur blanket & bed of its own. Exhausted from the emotional roller-coaster, Tien too was soon fast asleep.

((Much easier to read & a little easier to type too. Except for the extra "color" codings. Glad you don't mind me using it, some people get possesive about stuff like that.

They're real to me, as odd as that sounds. *sheepish* Sometimes I wonder what I'd do without them.

By the way, I know you call Yaraif "she" but Locke's gotten used to thinking of kuns as "it" while waiting for Tien to get out of her gem. That's why the switches of pronouns.))

((ROFL OMG... that's the first IOU for an RP I've ever gotten. I was so totally not expecting that... *laughs* whoa-boy...))

Shippou was decidedly not happy about waking to feel fur being pulled on his tail again. The little red fox was about to make a rude comment when the pullings ceased suddenly. Still, he was awake now. From the actions of the green bundle of trouble around him Shippou knew he would not be the only one for long.

"Yow!" Locke's exclamation of surprise widened his eyes instantly. He was still too far asleep to be able to move anything else quickly. "Tien, don't pull the fur!"

Yawning sleepily, Tien mumbled something incoherent in kunkunese. If anyone bothered to listen & translate it would have been 'go 'way, 'm sleepin' they had heard. A little more awake now, Locke shifted his gaze to better see his tail. That was when he saw Tien still asleep & the little Easter kun gripping his tail in terror. Softly & gently, so as to avoid startling her Locke whispered. "Hello Yaraif... did you sleep well?"
Following his cait's gaze the little familiar scoffed at what he saw. "oh great. Another little bug." Belying his interest in the pastel kun he rolled his eyes & lowered his head back onto his paws.
