Rabid cocked her head slightly, "I was taking care of that bush over there. In layman's terms...being bored."
She gave a slight smile, "and what about yourselves?"
Ike watched Rex in wonderment.
"Sounds like fun," he smiled, "Can Ike try? Pwease?" He bent his knees and readied an arm to steal the other boy's ball.

"I see..." Silencer said, glancing in the direction of Rabid's bush. "As for me... Since Rex wanted to play his basketball and it's raining outside, I thought of just bringing him up here and let him dribble around the place."
"Sure, Ike!" Rex nodded, making no attempt to stop the other mishap's attempted steal. "Here no court, so we can't shoot an' all tho."

"It is?" Rabid glanced out a window, "Mymymy...time sure flies when you're bored out of your mind." It was then that she was struck with a sudden, seemingly random memory.
"Oh!" she exclaimed, "I saw Rex at the Halloween event! He..he was riding some...wait...was that you?"
She laughed nervously and tugged at a curl.
"No, no...of course not."
Ike screwed up his face and then took Rex's basketball.
"Sure we can! Go like this."
He smiled and held his arms out, creating a kind of would-be hoop.

"Oh, that's me alright." Silencer grinned. She still remembered, eh? "How'd you figured it out?"
And to prove it, she began to morph. A tail emerged first as her coccyx elongated, and once a proper length, phoosh! A thick tuft of fur erupted along the end, forming a near gryphonlike tail had it not for the clawed tip.
Next were her hind legs. Bones grew and shifted neatly into well muscled paws. The growing, shifting and reallignment of bones continued up her body - ridges formed at the base of her spine and continued down her tail; she fell forwards as her front limbs morphed into claws; her neck lengthened before the once human face changed into one resembling a velociraptor. A very large velociraptor.
And finally five stiff, feathery quills sprouted, one by one, from near the back of the creature's head, ending at the base of the neck. Silencer shook her head and peered for at Rabid from the height of 7 feet. "Hee."
"I have a better idea." Rex shot forwards and took back his ball from Ike as he created a hoop with his arms. The boy the grinned down at Ike, before cocking his head at his mother. "Use her tail as hoop, no risk getting face smacked by ball. What Ike say?"

"Hah. That's how, now," Rabid murmured, peering the 11 inches up into Silencer's eyes, "Quite interesting, if I may say so myself. I can't do much unless you tick me off." She snerked at the thought.
"Ike doesn't know," Malachi looked worriedly at Rex's mum. A lot of people didn't like being messed with, and he didn't much like the idea of a facefull of claw.
"Ike'll do it if Rex asks."

"Ah? What can you do?" The greften asked, lips unmoving. Oh yes, she's curious now.
"Ike no worry. Mom never minds 'bout this things." Rex said reassuringly to Ike. Then, as if to prove his point, the boy walked up to Silencer and gave her tail a tug. "Mom?"
"Mm?"
"Me and Ike wants to play basketball."
"Go ahead then. Have fun~"
"Rex want your tail to be hoop."
"Sure, dear." Silencer patted her toddler with her tail, resulting in a sneeze from King at all the fur.
"There Ike! Rex says Mother no mind at all." Jogging back to Ike, the boy held out the ball to him. "Now where d'you want to play...?"

Rabid blushed at the question, and only spoke after the boy walked away.
"Besides feed on the life force of mortals? Not much. Have you ever seen Interview With the Vampire? Their fangs...they get longer before attacking. Get me ticked, and I get very pointy." She tugged at a curl and twirled it around her finger.
Ike watched on in amazement before a wide grin broke across his face.
"Ike plays anywhere Rex wants. Rex is the proof-ess'nal!"

"I see..." Silencer said, in the least shaken. The woman-- urm, creature registered hardly any reactions nor unease at Rabid's explanation, but merely raised and lowered her head feathers like a curious cockatiel would. "Coolio..."
Rex shook his head, a small smile on his face. "Nope, Rex no prof'snal. 'Isashi and 'Namichi are," he explained, referring to two avid basketballers back home. "Rex terrible compared to them..."
Handing the basketball to Ike, Rex returned to where Rabid and Silencer stood. Positioning himself between the two, the boy pushed at his mother's side while King stared up at Rabid. "Ma... come now, Rex 'n Ike wanna playing basketbaaall..."
"Cheeeeerr..." Does this lady wanna play?
King bared his fangs testily, as if to warn Rabid against touching him.
"Oh."
Turning to Ike's guardian, the boy asked whether she would like to join them, while continuing to push and prod his unbudgeable mother.

"Until I come after you," Rabid make a false menacing gesture and laughed. She then turned down to King and bared her own fangs jokingly, quickly closing her mouth again when Rex turned toward her.
"Oh, I don't know. I'm kinda out of practice," she said, "but I could ref, since your mum is the hoop. Or I could be the backboard, if youd like." She smield to herself and hoped that the little Dinosaur-boy wouldn't take that last bit seriously.
"Rex better than Ike," Malachi said and watched the other boy do...whatever it was that he was doing.

"Ah yes. That'd be a different story, wouldn't it?" Silencer winked at Rabid. Then she turned her head to Rex, and faked a stumble.
"Oh child, I beg of you. Push me not, push me not, for I am not strong enough to stand... it!" At the last word she lunged forward, and reached out her tail in front of Rex to stop him from falling over.
"Come on then."
Rex stumbled, but caught hold of his mother's tail and steadied himself. Turning back to Rabid he grinned. "Ike-mum no backboard, Ike-mum ref! Rex don't want ter be respons'ble for hur."
The boy then turned tail, and ran after Silencer.
"Come, come!"

Rabid giggled and nodded in agreement. Cute kid. Sure, he was bit hyper, but that added to the...what...cute-ness factor?
Ike cocked his head at Rex and followed slowly. Boy, this was confusing...

Rex followed his mother to a large, clear area. Once Silencer was in position, the child turned his back to the 'hoop', knees bent, and readied himself into defence position.
"Ike wanna go first?"

"No," Malahci shook his head, "Rex go first. Show Ike how."
He went up to where Rex was and took the same position, figuring that whoever didn't have to go first had to block.
Rabid's eyes flickered to a clock on the wall. Man, had time flown by!
"Sorry, guys," she smiled over to the toddlers, "But Ike and I have to go soon. Make the game quick, okay?"

Bdmp. Bdmp.
Rex took the ball and positioned himself a few feet away from Ike. The boy dribbled it into a steady rhythm, and smiled up at Ike.
"Ike have to dribble, and try get past defence to score." This the boy demonstrated by pushing off his left foot suddenly, holding out his left arm to add distance between Ike and the ball to in an attempt to block a steal.
"But Ike defending now, so Ike have to stop Rex going in, or try to steal ball."

In the indoor garden
Kanilea had noticed almost at once as she carried the flat of plants down to the greenhouse that the fall months, which she had so treasured, betrayed her. It was not possible to grown her herbs there, and should could barely live without having her hands in dirt for part of the time.
Aladon had little idea why or how he got roped into helping Kanilea, but as he clung to her shirt and smelled the rich aromas coming from the flat of plants, that he would be more than happy to help.
Kanilea found a place behind a grouping of plants that was bare and deserted, “Perfect,” she muttered as she placed Aladon on the ground next to the flat of plants. “Lets start with Thyme.” She let Aladon help her remove the plant from its wooden moving box and stick it on the ground, as she begun to dig a hole. "Thyme--meditation and simple charms."
Aladon began to claw at the dirt with his talons, giggling happily as he discovered a worm. He poked it a couple of times before picking it up in the palm of his hand. “Musilah,” he laughed as he let it slime around on the palm of his hand. There seemed to be something wrong with it, it had no legs, or wings for that matter.
Noting Aladons wandering gaze, "It attracts all types of bugs, like flies and wasps." She tickled the child with dirt covered hands.
