Naito nervously laughed. "Yeah...I guess." He really didn't want Hiro or Setsuna around since he didn't want the others thinking too badly of him.
Meanwhile, outside the door Lorien was hiding behind it while reading a book. She was wondering what the knights were like, but kept quiet afraid that she would look weird and rude if she entered alone.
(I'm just keeping her out of the room for now until Nimue returns)

"Of course he'll let me corrupt them. They will be such troublemakers by the time I'm finished with them!" Kai held his head up proudly and wagged his tail. "Come on 'Uncle' Garaden, you know you want to help me. Cause a little more work for Ivan." Kai looked at Journey and flicked his tail as if to shrug. "I'm not sure what the test is. I've known Atreyu since he was extremely little. Rudolf and I are probably the oldest ones here but I didn't recieve a test. It's usually just something to prove your skills. It should be easy Journey. Don't worry about it too much though."
Endless smiled at Rudolf.
"Okay! Good, we could run into town and spend the day toge-" She paused and then looked towards the door when he did. She instantly reverted back into 'Shy Endless Mode' and gave the newcomers a small smile.
"The female is really pretty." She said with a nod. "I love her designs."
Blair looked at Kai and shook her head at him.
"You are such a bad influence you know that." Blair shook her head at the pink male. "If you ever have kids, they are going to be so bad."
She laughed and looked down. "Wow...I guess there will be little puppies running around here soon. Aw, I cannot wait to see them."
Her tail was wagging happily at the thought playing with the little bundles.
Atreyu was still stunned at the fact that Ivan and Raisa had had puppies that he hadn't noticed Naito's children.
"Wait? More surprises?" Atreyu asked, staring at the two wolves. The young girl looked a lot like a wolf he had seen before. He couldn't come up with the name but he distinctly remembered lost china. "Welcome to the sitting room." He called to Setsuna and Hiro.
Nimue trudged up the stairs, her cloak's hood drawn over her head but she was soaking wet. She didn't mind water at all but the fact that a bucket of freezing water had tumbled out of one of the windows and onto her as she made he way into the house was what had the usual calm and carefree moonlit mad. Not only had that happened but she could see that other things were beginning to happen around the shop and main house. She paused outside the sitting room and caught a familiar scent.
"Lorien, are you here?" She called out softly. She always enjoyed her apprentice and her presence was soothing. Maybe that would change her foul mood.

Rudolf nodded at Setsuna. "Yes. Mother your's sister mine." He said looking at Hiro, "He looks Aludra niece like. Except blue she stars." He shook his head wondering how Aisling had could have possibly mated with Naito and not stayed with him. He then turned to Endless and nodded. "Shall we then. Go us town to day some." He said with a smile, "Yes female like looks sister Aisling."
Ammy looked around before looking at Kai. She shook her head at him. She then barked saying that those pups looked like they were going to be a handful already.

Journey sighed and lay down, head on her paws. She wouldn't worry too much, but she couldn't help to be a bit nervous. An underlieing excitement made her tail swish along the floor. She looked around the room and at its many inhabitants. What a neat place. "So, now what?"
Garaden nearly fell over. Even Kai calling him 'uncle' was making him giddy, bringing up images of puppies looking up to him. He couldn't wait to see them. Then, of course, another thought flashed through his mind. Puppies calling him daddy. He looked at Blair when she mentioned puppies running around, imagining she was telling him the big news. Then seeing her with a few pups at her feet, smaller images of her. This time he did fall over.

Naito snuck back into the shadows since he wasn't planning to have them show up. Especially since he had never told the knights about this, although back when he was fighting the wolf he had hinted at it by saying he liked Aisling. However, he wanted to forget about those days since he knew that he could not have made Aisling stay with him.
Hiro being the dumbfounded idiot of the family he was started his little search around the room to see what it looks like. He barked a thanks back to Ateryu before having his eyes fix on a record player. The dark moonlit hopped on it before spinning round and round on it with a big smile on his face. "Wheeee!" whee
Setsuna smiled. "Wow! Well it's nice to meet you both." She then turned towards Atreyu to say hi, but noticed that Hiro was acting like his normal whack job self. "Alright mister...I think you had enough of that." She then went over to turn it off, but accidentally made it speed up.
Poor Hiro got thrown off of it really fast and hit the wall before falling down. "Oooow!" He winced while slightly whining. He then looked at Setsuna and sat back down dissapointed he made her look like she was related to an idiot again.
Setsuna sighed before turning around to Ateryu. "Thanks...although I better get him out of here, before he wrecks the place."
Lorien twitched her ears back and forth picking up a voice. She then shut her book and looked towards Nimue. "Yes...I am here. Just reading some stories. That's about it." She then came out of the door shadow. "What happened to you?"

Kai heard Ammy and he laughed.
"Good! That means they'll be easy to corrupt. Come on Amm's, you know you want to help me." He winked at Ammy before he turned back to Journey. "You know Journey, I could teach you how to be the perfect knight in preparation for your test. I probably know all about this thing." He said with a nod, looking down at her. He only knew all there was to be a knight because Atreyu had drilled it in his head day after day after he had read his first King Arthur story.
Endless stared at Setsuna and Hiro for a moment before turning to look at Rudolf.
"Wait, you have a sister? You never told me that..." She nodded. "Sure, we can go to town. That sounds like fun."
Blair had looked away towards Hiro and Setsuna and laughed at them.
"Poor little sparkly wolf." She said, talking about Hiro. She turned to Garaden just as she heard a 'thud' and stared down at her mate with wide eyes.
"Garaden! Are you alright?" She leaned down and poked at his side with her paw. "Did you faint?"
Atreyu watched Hiro and shook his head at Setsuna.
"You don't have to leave but please don't wreck the place. Ammy and Raisa would be coming after him with swords and spears after all the work they did." Atreyu laughed and shook his head. He noticed Naito and approached him. "Do not be ashamed of yourself or your children Naito. Come out now." Atreyu commanded, not wanting Naito to hide.
Nimue lifted her head when her young apprentice stepped out of the shadows and shook her hood off of her head.
"Apparently someone has been pulling tricks all around the house... have you been in the room yet? Are the knights resting? I heard about their journey from Cheshire."

Ammy watched as Hiro went flying off the record player and shook her head. She barked saying she was going to leave before something broke in front of her and that she needed to tell Raisa how the knights reacted.
Rudolf waved goodbye to Ammy before facing Endless. "Sorry. Never you asked." He said nodding, "Yes sister has I but adopted only. When go we town?" He wagged his tail looking forward to spending some alone time with his mate.
*Ammy to Kitchen*

Journey perked her head up with a big smile. "Would ya really do that for me? That'd be great!" She sat up, her tail curling and uncurling in anticipation. She glanced over at Atreyu chatting with the others whom she didn't know. She wanted to be ready for whatever he threw at her.
Garaden blinked rapidly and blushed, feeling his face grow hot. Would his fur cover this? He yelped and skittered to his feet when his side was poked. "Fine! Fine! Is thinking all just!" He coughed. "I was just thinking is all. I think I'm more tired than I thought. I just nap a need. I mean, need a nap." He turned and thumped back to the floor, covering his face with his paws.

Setuna laughed. "Well I'll make sure then that he doesn't try something like that again."
Hiro felt a bit bad. "But riding that was fun. I enjoyed it." He looked as he had created a scene for the others while sighing sadly. "I'm sorry..."
Naito looked at Atreyu and quickly whispered. "Do you remember when I told you that I had a relationship with Aisling going on? They both are the result since I guess she just wanted kids." He looked away for a second then back. "Is that wrong to breed with someone and not be their mate?"
Lorien nodded her head. "Yes. They are in there and all I can say is it sounds like a loud crash happened. Other then that they sound like they are enjoying themselves." She then looked confused. "Cheshire? Who's he?"

"Eh, of course. I'm feeling generous for now. So what's the first thing ya know about knights?" He asked her, wrapping his tail around his paws.
"Goodbye Ammy...." Endless called after the goddess. She looked at Hiro and smiled kindly at him. "Don't worry, if something breaks, I'll just stop time and fix it for you."
She looked at Rudolf and tilted her head.
"Are you free now?" She asked him shyly, pawing at the ground.
Blair stared down at him with concern for a moment or so before she was laughing at him. Whatever it was he was thinking about, she would have to get it out of him somehow. She stood again and pawed at his ears.
"You're starting to talk like Rudolf now." She managed to get out through her laughter. "If you're tired, go to sleep. You deserve it. You've been running around the forest all night long."
"Yes I remember that..." He looked at Setsuna and Hiro and then back at Naito. "There is no law stating that it is bad and it happens all the time. You're actually standing in the room with someone who resulted from a breeding outside of being mates." Atreyu paused and glanced at Blair. "Blair over there with Garaden is much like your Setsuna and Hiro. Her father has a mate now and has his own family but when he was single, he assisted his lonely friend and stepped to the side to let her raise them. She hates talking about it but no one looked down on her father or her mother and everyone accepted Blair and her younger siblings. Just from that you can see that there is nothing wrong with it. Do your children mind you're not with their mother?"
"A loud crash?" She was worried for a moment and then smirked slightly. "Oh well, then that's normal for them. Would you like to meet them?"
Nimue turned to the door and paused when the younger moonlit asked about Cheshire. "Cheshire is a young male that helped me on the knights last quest. He likes riddles and he can disappear and reappear at will. He's very... random."

Rudolf looked at Endless wondering why she was suddenly so shy. "Free I now am." He said with a smile, "Want you go now Milady?" If Endless wanted to go now he would just let Atreyu know before leaving.

Hiro looked confused. "Stop time? You can do that?"
Naito listened to everything what Atreyu said. "I see." He then sighed a bit sad. "Well Hiro never really notices it at all. He's so carefree and happy, but Setsuna...I'm not sure. I think she misses her mom in some ways, but she's trying to take care of her younger brother and try not to remember her."
Lorien nodded her head. "Sure would. I just hope they don't hate me." She then listened to the second part. "Oh! I see! He does sound random."

"Generous, huh?" Journey raised an eyebrow with a smirk. Then her brow furrowed in thought. "Well, not a whole lot really. Just from the stories of King Ah'thur (yes, she pronounces it this way) and his knights that everyone hears. But Atreyu mentioned Joan of Arc. I know 'bout her and those knights. The question is, what's the first thing I should know 'bout the knights?"
Flinching when she pawed at his ears, Garaden flipped onto his back and pawed at her legs. "Well I can't nap with you doing that." He said, smiling. Grabbing one of her paws and giving it a lick, he flipped back over and recovered his face. He could already feel sleep creeping around the edges of his mind. But he wanted to think a little more... and now his ear was itching... Must not scratch!

"He called you Joan of Arc?" Kai tilted his head and laughed. "Eh, I don't know much about her but I heard she was wicked awesome so I guess you should take that as a compliment. Anyway, I think you should know what it means to be a knight here in this shop and house. We are the guardians and we make sure that no evil doers. We're like medieval super heroes. We protect the people here."
Kai paused as he realized that she had a strange accent to her. He had been picking up on it throughout their conversation but he had to ask.
"You have an awesome accent...." He said randomly.
Endless looked up at Rudolf and nodded once.
"Yes, I would like to go now and be escorted to town by my knight. Then I will have a toy ready for when they come back to the sitting room."
Weird, she thought to herself as she wagged her tail. This was the first time she would be alone with Rudolf.
"Of course you can. If I can protect the sitting room in my sleep, then I'm sure you can deal with me poking at you."
Blair laughed and wiggled her paw when he captured it and licked it. Watching him settle down, she settled down beside him.
"Do you want me to sing you a lullaby? It may help you sleep..."
"You have to let things go and concentrate on what is happening now. I'm sure if your daughter saw that, she'd follow your example. They probably care a great deal about you Naito." Atreyu nodded. "But please do not feel sad or ashamed of what occurred in your past. No one here will judge you for it... and if they do, just bop them on the head."
He stretched and glanced at Journey.
"Now, what am I to do with the lovely Journey? She needs a test if she wants to become a knight...." He pondered aloud.
Nimue nodded once and then lifted her head. Though she was still mad about the whole water incident, her mood was beginning to change somewhat.
"Then let us introduce you then. Be on your best behavior my apprentice."
With that said, Nimue lead the way into the sitting room and barked hello to everyone inside.
"Hello everyone, I hope that Cheshire did not fool around with you guys too much." Nimue called to everyone in the room. "I have a surprise actually for you guys."

Rudolf smiled and bowed. "Lady wills town go we..... town go we will." He said standing up and waiting for Endless, "Lady you after." His tail was wagging as he thought of the alone time he would be spending with his mate. However it stopped when Nimue entered and said that she had a surprise for them. He wanted to know what the surprise is but he wanted to be with Endless more. "Surprise wait I have will. Go Endless and I town to." He said with a quick shake of his head, "Ready Endless?"
