The pegasus ignored Isto, but instead knelt down before flopping on his side at Tourma's sudden yawn. Crawling towards the pegasus, the toddler seemed to understand the other creature, and simply curled up next to it and slightly on top of it before dozing off, tail curling around herself as much as possible.

Yawning softly himself, Isto waited until he was sure Tourma was asleep to climb to his feet, starting from the room. Leave her there to warm up for a bit longer, and he would take, and the pegasus if needed, up to the nursery later before he went to bed himself. For now... Well, maybe he could catch and reassure Slush before his husband got too drunk. Knowing Slush's alcohol capacity, he doubted it, but maybe he would get lucky.

Isto was in fact, too late as far as Slush was concerned, X had given Slush vodka, and the Skullmonkey was now singing to a statue in the room, shotglass still in hand while X kept an eye on him.
Slush gave a dramatic twirl, and stumbled into the wall, looking a little dazed for a bit before the singing continued. It was nearly impossible to tell what song it was because X was quite sure that even if he had been singing properly, that he was making up lyrics as he went.
The vampire looked up at the thud, but upon noticing he was okay, returned to her scarf she was knitting, something Nathan had taught her recently.

Long before he reached the room, Isto could hear his husband's 'song' and was hard pressed not to grin when he found Slush singing to a statue. He watched for a short while, fighting the urge to laugh, then nodded his thanks to X and stepped over to Doom, looping an arm around his waist and steering him for the stairs and, eventually, their bedroom. "The statue's trying to sleep, lovely, you can sing to it in the morning. C'mon, it's late."

Slush fell into Isto, giggling and squealing as he stumbled upstairs with Isto. Several times did Slush attempt to drag Isto into some sort of failed waltz, singing and giggling all the while.
Yawning when he saw their bed, Slush suddenly went silent as he stared at the piece of furniture. "Heeeey~!" He murred at the mattress before turning to look at Isto, swaying slightly in his drunken state, "Lets tango Sharkie. Rar!" At this, Slush lost his balance and fell over.

Isto managed to avoid most of the dance attempts by tightening his grip around Slush and steering him determinedly in the direction of their room. But one or two caught him off guard, usually resulting in one or the other tripping and stumbling into a wall. It was all Isto could do to keep from laughing.
He finally judged it safe to release Slush when he calmed to stare at the bed, and sighed lightly when Doom tumbled to the floor, helping him up only to scoop him off his feet and deposit him on the bed, immediately pulling the covers up over him. "Bed time, Doom. I'm gonna go check on the shorties, alright? You stay here."

"Owh." He groaned after being deposited into the bed, "Shark~" Slush whined as Isto left him; the bed was warm and he was in fact tired, but Isto should be with him. Unfortunately, Slush was soon lost to sleep before Isto could even get back.

It took only a few minutes for Isto to get Tourma (and the pegasus) up to the nursery and, following that, to assure himself that everyone was asleep in bed. Returning to their room, he undressed and climbed into bed, curling up beside Slush and soon drifting to sleep himself.

Isto has already come in her to bring me bread and headache stuff, whatever it's called. Drugs To Make Me UNhungover.
They aren't working too well. crying
At all.
But at least Tourmaline is okay... I was so scared for her... But Isto says she hadn't been out there long enough to cause any lasting damage. I would have never forgiven myself if she had gotten hurt permanently.
It would have been my fault. I was supposed to be watching her. I thought she had been sleeping. That and I didn't know she could open the lock with a broom handle...
We must rethink security measures this winter. Hmmm...
I'll do that when my head isn't throbbing.
And speaking of throbbing, apparently that necklace really did grow into a pegasus. That's the only explanation that I can think of... Yeah. It'll need a name, something that won't make it bite Isto.
I.E. Not 'kiddo.'
He seems severely protective of Tourma, and doesn't like Isto as much as me... Maybe because I bought him? I think it's cause I didn't call him 'kiddo.'
I think I'm going to curl up in bed again, maybe it all will go away if I sleep?
Crud, Christmas is coming up soon and that means I need to go shopping...
Another day.
-Slush

Tourma's just like me with the cold.
Yesterday while I was at work, she 'escaped' from the house, wandered off and, far as I can tell, nearly froze in the yard. Luckily, Slush found her and got her inside and warming before it could do much harm. I arrived home only a few minutes afterwards.
Calmed Slush down....somewhat. Took Tourma from him to warm her up. Fireplace, blanket... She was fine before long.
Some time during that, X dragged Slush off and got him roaring drunk so he'd stop worrying. Not that there was any reason to worry anymore.
It became apparent almost immediately that Tourma would be fine--she was acting normally, just couldn't move right until she had warmed up a bit.
She wasn't too happy about that, but the pegasus distracted her.
Oh, right, the pegasus. Uh... Some time during all that, this little pegasus showed up. We think it's from that seed thing Slush got Tourma a while back, but I'm not entirely convinced.
Not that it matters either way. He's here to stay.
And lives in the house...
...Well, now I'm glad we're still at X's.
It'll be enough trouble dealing with Cody inside once he's a bit bigger without having another set of hooves around.
Anyway.
Tourma's find today, which has reassured Slush a lot. I doubt she'll be going outside without six layers of clothes for a while, though.
She'll get used to it. I had to. And there's plenty of do inside...sometimes.
Maybe I'll take her to work with me some day, let her play in the snow. It can't hurt her there.
Me an' Slush's anniversary's coming up. No idea what to get him yet.

A long day at work and an argument with Faust had done nothing for Isto's mood. Add to that that his tail was now bald--a result of an angry Faust--and you had one irritated SM. So, to avoid further arguments, Isto had retreated to the safety of the garage, cranking up the heater, setting the radio on just so, and turning his attention to his bike.
Ahhh, his bike. Isto hadn't had a chance to work on his motorcycle in ages...and it showed, he admitted to himself, grimacing faintly. Leaving the house door open should anyone come looking for him, he snatched up a rag and a wrench and went to work. Good times.
