((Dangit! I wrote this long post, and accidentally hit paste instead of copy! ARGH!!))
Procyon bobbled Dionaea's antennae one more time, then sat back on her haunches, hovering right above the stone floor. She saw Dionaea twitching her wings, and moved her own around a bit, getting a feel for what they could do. And it was then that she realized they couldn't do much.
"Hummmmm...." she thought, not wanting to disappoint Dionaea. "Well Deeohneeaaah...I don think we fly...Flying ish hard!" She smiled at Pteryx, who she was mighty impressed with. "Not like Pet-twix. But, I like to run! See?" She scampered around the other baby, quick as a flash, and stopped in front of her again, her breathing a slight bit heavier. "See?!"
"Well," said Sizzla, wanting to clarify for Lu. "We don't necessarily have that blood bond, but we do think of each other as family. Somewhere along the line we all came from the same fae...So we look at it that way. Plus, the fae are a peaceful bunch. There isn't much bickering between those of us with fae backgrounds."
She looked around the room again, taking in the sight of the place. "It would be nice to see the rooms of the other children. And finding Procyon's room would be a good idea. She does need a place to stay. From what I understand, she can't come to Gaia with me. But I'm sure there's a safe place for her here. And she'll want to visit Dionaea too, from the looks of it. They seem to be getting along quite well." She giggled as she watched Procyon scamper around Dionaea as quick as a flash.
"Procyon, come here. Let's go look for your room." She knelt down, her arms out, ready to pick the child up once she was over there. Procyon scampered over on all fours, just about crashing into Sizzla. But Sizzla picked her up just in time, and she giggled as she rested in Sizzla's arms.
"How about it ladies? Want to come?" She spoke to the flytrap and bat Fey, smiling warmly.
"Yes, lets!" Procyon waved to them, trying to convince the pair to come with. "We'll play!!" She giggled and settled back down into Sizzla's arms for a rest.

((*pokes both* I've been bad too. XD This no internet at night thing has really thrown me badly, the day's always bad time to try and write. ))
"I don't know... lots of moon court fey can fly. Maybe you need to practice with your wings more." Pteryx paused, she knew that only to be half true. After all, the only person she'd talked with about flying couldn't even manage to land on a branch! "Maybe you can do other things good instead that no one else can do?"
Pteryx looked up at one of the kithain, the one that had asked her a question. "Um... I don't know. They should have chambers that their parents used to have, but I don't know where they are."
She nodded at the human-eating kithain. If she knew where one of them lived, she could visit. Maybe even sleep there, if her own kithain wasn't home?

Dionaea clapped and giggled. Procyon was so wonderous, and very, very fast! She loved to run, too, but she was not as quick as the Raccoon. Perhaps she could be if she practiced more?
"Pwoceeon ish fast!"
Padding over to Dionaea, Lu picked her up gently. The youngest Fey yawned and stretched, very much ready to enjoy a nice nap in her quarters. Lu was happy to lead the others along, if they so desired.
"I'd be more than happy to have you guys come over to Dionaea's chamber. Maybe we can find Procyon's along the way?"
Dionaea had been taking in everything the two Kithain had said since they began their conversation. Everything Sizzla had explained about Fae people, and everything Lu had said about her own people. She must remember this, and remembering things was what she was good at. The tiny Fey smiled inwardly. This was fun!

"Yes, let's go," said Sizzla, who was looking forward to finding Procyon's room. The little raccoon Fey nested down in her arms, yawning slightly, her eyes fluttering closed every now and then. "I think this little one could use a nap. Would you like to lead Pteryx? You seem like you know your way around here quite well. I'm sure we'll find Procyon's room if we just look around some."
Procyon wiggled a bit in Sizzla's arms, trying to get comfortable. She was tired, and all that running around had her all tuckered out. She was happy to be going to her room too, so she could sleep for a long time. It had been a trying day for the little girl, who had just come out of the window. "Sleeeeppp..." She muttered, her eyes half open as she fell into sleep. "Fwendsssss..."
The pair turned toward the door of the Inner Sanctum and walked back out into the hallway, their footsteps sounding hollow on the stone floors...

Pteryx stood up, following the others with ease in the darkness. "I don't know where they are either, I think. There are empty chambers all over the castle but maybe I've passed them while wandering? I bet that Procyon would remember which is hers, because it would have things from when she was last there still in it. We can just open the doors and look in as we pass."
She paused, then shook her head. Pteryx could hear the sounds of birds singing, and that meant dawn wasn't too far off. "But I have got to go back to my chambers. I will see you all tomorrow night, maybe?"
Without waiting for an answer, Pteryx rushed as fast as she could manage back towards her chambers.
