((Yep they'd all fall over dead xD))
"Grr...Mrelly." She shook her head. "Belly!" She said with confidence and a smile. She paddled over to the bush and watched Kane closely to what he was doing. She moved closer and picked one off carefully. She chewed it slowly, the flavor was so good, something she didn't expect. She Meowed happily when she was done with it.

Sirius and Astraeus both emerged into view of the kits this time, but they kept to themselves, as they sat watching the fish. Every glint of the scales drew their eyes as they flicked their sparkling tails back and forth lazily.
Astraeus bent his ear towards the bell and listened closely. "The bell is... saying something? Sometimes?" He licked the bell as it jingled and wondered what could be making it seem so alive. It was only a bell, right?
Sirius smiled to Astraeus, "Perhaps?" He was humoring his nephew, not believing that a bell could truly "speak".
(Sirius will see Jaya's bell tomorrow, gotta run!! But had to post something xD -- Who knows? Maybe some of those kits will see the sparkly-tailed boys?? surprised )

Kane seemed to get a far off look in his eyes as he waited for Cassy's acceptance. It was a look that always happen to give away when he was listening or talking with his twin. With a friendly smile he watched as the black rina managed out the word and sampled a berry. "Good?"
Out the corner of his eyes Kane saw something shine and turned to see what might be the cause of it. He gasped at the sight of the Telpareon and Enyalie that emerged into the clearing and moved to the river. He had never before seen a teen Taestysia, but the adult was as big as their parents had been. "Cassy! Big...Taestysia."
----------------------------------------------
Nyx felt the warm lick roll over the shell of her bell and rolled eyes that couldn't be seen. "I am not just something you lick young one." It did suprise her that Astraeus seemed to realize she was more then just at bell. Even though she wouldn't think this out loud to save her life...she was glad to be keep warm agaist the young Taestysia's chest.

Sirius turned back to the stream and watched the fish glittering by, he struck out a paw and managed to scrape up a fish by the tail and then dropped it with a splash back into the water. He blinked then sighed with a soft chuckle under his breath, looking to his nephew he smiled. "This is alot harder on land."
Astraeus smiled encouragingly and then heard a faint whisper from the bell. Or... at least he thought it was from the bell?? He nudged it gently and whispered, "Ummm.... ok... I won't lick you anymore?" He listened for an answer as if in a daydream.
Sirius watched his nephew curiously, but put his strange actions out of his mind and looked into the stream again. When the fish fell from his claw, a bit of mud was overturned. There was another bell, but it had purple stripes? The color was so dark, if the fish hadn't jostled the mud nearby, he might never have seen it. He put his nose to it gently, inspecting the curious object.

Cassy felt a little relieved that the attention was drawn away from herself before anything happened. In this state she was unsure what the contact would bring. She settled into a sleepy state just listening to the two and relaxing against his chest. When he did speak to her again about a big Taestysia she was confused. The only adults they had seen were their parents, did this mean they somehow returned? "Poppa?" she questioned becomming quite eager and making her bell form move. "He back?"
Jaya felt something splash the water close to her right side, washing off some of the mud from that side. She had started to sink further even with her light weight and would never had been found. The strap to her bell slipped into the water, waving with the steady stream. Out of nowhere something pressed against her form just enough for her to notice. I stuck she thought sadly, making the bell faintly jingle.

Kane tried to hold back his sadness at how eager his sister was at the thought their father might be back. He missed them both dearly as well, but he wasn't about to lie to her. "No Poppa...another...different." He was so shocked by the discovery that all he could do was start at the sparkly pair.
-----------------------------------------
"Interesting..." Nyx thought when Astraeus voiced he had heard what she said. To test the theory she deliberately spoke directly to him. "No more licks would be nice. So you can hear me young one?" Her bells rang out as her voice whispered at the Taestysia.

Soxs wasn't sure what 'good' was but she nodded her head anywas and meowed happily, it seemed like that thing to do. She notice that the red rina's eyes where no longer on her but on something else. She looked to where he was looking and saw two big rinas. "Kane?" She wondered if they where with him. The sparkles on the Taestysia tails caught her eye and made her curious. Kane was nice, so why wouldn't they be?
The black rina ran, as fast as she could with out falling over, to the sprakly tailed Taestysia wanting to know what it was that made them do that. She stopped behind the smaller one, less threataning was her reason. She batted at his tail lightly with a questioning "Mrow?"

Sirius' ears twitched, I... I think it's stuck....? He lifted the bell just enough so the stream's natural flow would wash away the mud. He could see the stripes more clearly now and he was intrigued. Whereas, Astraeus' bell was striking like starfire, this one seemed different... a bit more vivacious and fierce in markings. He placed the strap around his neck as he had with Astraeus then turned to show his nephew.
Astraeus was listening to the bell again, "Hear... someting. I hear the bell." He smiled proudly at his uncle until he felt something paw at his tail and he jumped, startled.
He turned around, "Who did that?" He looked and saw the little black rina behind him.

Kane snapped back to attention when the black rina said his name and found that she was already running over to the two mystery Taestysia. Finally letting curiosity win out over caution he followed, moving slower, to sit behind the black rina, eyes instantly going to the beautiful bells around each of the male's neck. Instantly all worry went to the wind. "You...sisters...too?" He blurted out, tail thrashing in eagerness.
---------------------------
Nyx could feel a head ache coming on as more voice seemed to surround the two males. She yelp as Astraeus swung around jarring her into motion. "Careful!" She shouted out. Her annoyance coming back in full throttle.

Cassy felt the sadness for both of them, she wouldn't even get to see their parents if they did come back. The bell swung a little back and forth as he started to move. She wasn't sure she wanted to meet this bigger Taestysia and she voiced her opinion to her brother. "They go way..Leaves us.. alone.." she made a sound like sniffling believing all adults would depart.
Yeah.. stuck! Stuck.. grr stuck.. The bell was lifted from her muddy bed and jingled softly, happy the yucky stuff washed off. Now she was cold however, one side seeming colder having the stream constantly run across it. Brrrrrl.. Jaya felt herself lifted higher then fell back against something firm. Whatever it was she liked it's warmth against her side.

Kane, Belly, and Hungry where the only things she could say so she just stared at the kit happily. "Mrow?" She poked at the small blue Taestysia's tail again with her paw, what where those shiny thing all over it. It wasn't water that was for sure. She turned her head to the red rina behind her "Kane?" She looked at him questioningly. They all had bells, she started to fell like tha odd one out, like she was born different. Her face showed sadden for but a second.

Sirius and Astraeus shared a puzzled look for a moment, suddenly finding themselves among all these rinas was daunting, but they took a breath and each answered their respective questions as best they could.
Sirius turned to Kane and smiled warmly, "Sisters? I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to ask little one." He pointed to Astraeus, "That is my nephew, Astraeus." He smiled as he turned back to Kane, pointing to himself as he said, "My name is Sirius. What is your name, little one?"
While talking to the red rina, Sirius thought he felt the bell actually "shiver"... but bells can't shiver? He ignored it in favor of talking to the young rina.
Astraeus in turn looked to the black rina and tilted his head. "Are you hurt? Do you need help?" He motioned his head to the stream and pointed at a fish as it jumped out. "Are you hungry?" He smiled brightly at the rina as his tail swayed back and forth playfully.

Kane almost echoed his sister's sniffle, but caught himself at the last moment blinking confused eyes, the excitement starting to fade from them, up at the adult that called himself Sirius. "I'm Kane. Bell...no...sister?" Absent mindly he petted Cassy's bell, try to sooth his twin. "We not...know that." Though in his mind he was thinking the same thing.
Suddenly Kane heard the black rina call his name and looked to where her paw was poking at the bright shine that reflected off Astraeus' tail. Frankly he wasn't overly sure what it was called, so he shrugged. "Not...know." He felt sorry for not being able to help the rina that who was quickly becoming like a friend to him.
------------------------------------------------
Nyx wished she could walk away from the comotion that was going on, but for now she was trapped in the bell with Astraeus as her caretaker. As much as the situation didn't appeal to her at all...he was her form of transportation until she managed to get out. "Someone will pay." She growled more to herself.

Lost in the crowd, Glacae watched as the others mingled. She liked being around all of the rinas, but she was curious about the softly ringing bells she kept hearing. She crept forward a bit, hoping to get a better glimpse of the fancy little bell around the nearest taestysia's neck.

Eirwen noticed the colorful rina got distracted and looked to see what had gotten her attention. Her eyes went wide when she realized that two new Taestysia had joined far out shining the rest in the group. One was far bigger then everyone and the other smaller, but still bigger then she. The white rina crouched down and froze, debating if moving forward was wise.
