Helping to Color

Both Ligeia and Ter recognized the pictures when they saw them sitting on the coffee table along with a large box of crayons for Maria. They had both, once upon a time ago, done the same papers, colored in the same numbers and letters to help them to learn their ABCs and 123s, it was because of this that both of them ended up drifting over to watch the process.

Ter coiled up in front of of the coffee table while Ligeia sat down on the couch.

Maria looked up from her coloring and then picked up the paper she was working to show it to them, "The 'S' has a snake on it like you Teri!" She said, her long tail curling and uncurling in delight. She set it down then held up the paper that she hadn't started on yet, "And Li is on the numbers paper, see? Owl!" She sounded so excited that both of her brothers were so famous that they were on her coloring papers!

Ter gave a little laugh, "Yeah, what do know. Colored like me too." He said, looking at how she had done the snake brown despite a lot of the other things on the pages she'd done so far being pinks and purples.

"Yep, yep." She chirped then tapped the owl, "Gonna leave this white so looks like Li." She explained to her doting over brothers, wanting them to know about her plan so they didn't think she skipped the owl when she got to the numbers page.

Ligeia gave a little smile, "Nice job so far." He said, she was trying her hardest to stay in the lines though it seemed the crayons got away from her here and there, not bad for someone her age though.

"Yeah, your quite the artist." Ter added, not about to get beaten by Ligeia even in the world of compliments.

Ligeia looked over at him for a long moment, guessing what he was up to but didn't rise to his challenge.

"Mmm... ok! Done." Maria said happily, setting the second letters page next to the first and she looked them over for a long moment, "Can't color Z... Zebras are supposed ta be white n black." She told her brothers before she looked her crayons over, picking up a well loved and often used pink and started to color the numbers.

"You really like pink, huh?" Ter asked, finding the color to be a bit girly but... to call Maria girly wouldn't have the same effect as it did when he called Ligeia girly.

Maria nodded, "My favoritest color is Pink... or Purple..." She looked over at purple and traded the pink she was using for it. She didn't know yet which was her MOST favorite, didn't think she could decide between them since they were both so pretty!

"What is Teri and Li's favoritests?" She asked, not looking up, intently coloring one of the numbers.

"Dark red for me." Ter said, giving a smile, "Or a certain shade of green that is on my girlfriend." The end of his tail twitched in delight at the thought of Z.

Maria smiled, "And Li?"

"Blue." He said, "Though I guess there is a color of purple I like too." The color of the scarf that Chath had gotten for him a long while ago. At the thought of the newt he started to fiddle with the silver bracelet he was once again wearing.

Maria paused looking at first Ter then Ligeia and gave a little giggle, "Thinking of Z and Chat?" She asked, knowing the dreamy looks for what they were, having seen them many times before and she'd asked about them on a couple of occasions.

The two blinked and shook their heads to clear their thoughts, "Ahhh... yeah." Both said in unison then looked down at the picture in front of their sister, wanting to see what she was up to and to get their minds off their significant others. For the moment their attention was supposed to belong to their baby sister after all.

"Almost done! Wanna show then to Daddy when I am." She said, continuing to color as though nothing were unusual, quite used to her brothers in all of their moods both good and bad by now... though she preferred them as they were now, happy as opposed to the times they argued... usually about the most silly things...

Despite their liking to argue though she knew that they loved each other and they loved Daddy, and they loved her, and they loved their dragons so she was happy and content.

Blue Prints Arrive

Orpheus was smiling brightly as he walked into the small apartment that he shared with his two sons, one daughter, and two dragons. He had an envelope in his hands that was a long time in coming, good news from those out there had finally delivered. He had the letter saying that the house had built for his family not to far from the D-Corp Facility was finally finished. He moved to sit down on beat up couch that had seen much use since he'd taken up sleeping on it after he'd adopted Ter and took out the plans that came along with the letter. He spread them out on the coffee table, running his fingers over it in an interested manner before his eyes fell upon a room that he couldn't help but smile over, "Master Bedroom." He murmured to himself, grinning.

A room that was all his own, one where he would be able to have a bed of his own, a bathroom he didn't have to share with three other people. He couldn't help but grin. He looked the rest of it over before he turned to look over his shoulder down the small hallway that led to where his three children were hanging out, "Ligeia, Terpsichore, Maria! Come here please!" He called down the hallway.

Maria was the first to arrive, coming rushing out of Ligeia's room at a dead run and gave a jump and landed on the back of the couch, she scrambled for a moment before plopping down next to her Father, "Hello, hello." She chirped up at him, looking pleased that she had won the race to be the first one to her father though it was only a race in her mind now that she had already won it.

Ligeia was the next to arrive with Vorel following after him, both of them coming to stand behind the couch, and a moment after that Ter slithered into the room with a none to please Baroness following after as she didn't really like the idea of being cramped in the room with the rest of the family. The owl boy moved to sit down on the back of the couch, perching there to look at what their father was looking at in such an interested manner before his dark eyes went wide.

"Dad... are those blue prints?" He asked.

Ter slithered forward quickly, hands on the back of the couch to look at it before he slithered over the back of it and to the coffee table. He looked it over before a grin spread over his lips, "Look at this place, damn... you thinking about buying it?" The cobra asked, looking over at his father with a rather hopeful look on his face.

Maria set to giggling, giving her brother a little push with her hands, "Hehe, you said damn Ter!" She told him.

Ter rolled his eyes, "So did you just now."

She gave a little 'eep' sound, her hands lifting up to cover her mouth with them before she looked up at her Father but he didn't seem all that concerned, no doubt having to hear Ter's mouth constantly run away from him with random curses and none to brilliant statements. When it appeared she wasn't going to get in trouble she climbed up her brother's back to look over his shoulder, "We are gonna live in there?" She asked.

Orpheus gave a nod, laughing a bit, "Yes. In fact the place is ready for us. We will need to move our stuff there, probably get some more furniture to fill it out but yes. That is our new home." He said, running a hand over the blue prints, "Its not to terribly far from here and we can all still get there easily enough. I just knew that we are a bit crowded and none of you are getting any smaller."

Ter gave a hissing sound and a nod, "No joke." He murmured, looking the blue prints over closely to inspect them. Lots of rooms, big kitchen, lots of bathrooms, lots of room to stretch out and for the dragons to be able to lounge about... he couldn't imagine staying in this place after Maria got her dracling he thought to himself before looking over at Orpheus, "So, when we moving?"

"As soon as we get packed we can start bringing stuff over. Between my car and the dragons I don't think it will take to long."

Baroness gave a huffing sound as she found herself given such a task, she had to help to move?! She gave a growling sound until she looked over at Ter who was shaking his head, "If you help out there will be plenty of room for us and you will have a bigger place to hide your horde if these plans are to be believed."

She perked up a bit at this, a bigger place for her horde? That meant being able to have a bigger horde if there was more space to fill. She gave a nod of her head to show that she would in fact help out if it were for such a good cause.

Vorel on the other hand had just nodded his head when he was told that he would be helping to move tail wagging, a smile on his face. Anything that made his owl as happy as he looked was good by him he thought and he would do anything to help so long as it meant he remained that happy. He leaned over to catch hold of a lock of his hair, chewing lightly on it.

Orpheus rose to his feet, "Alright, lets go and find some boxes and get to work packing." He told the five that were gathered around him. There were a lot of nods before they were heading out of the small apartment as a group.
