((*Salutes*))
Isto awoke the next morning somewhat...confused. He wasn't in his own bed, he couldn't see anything, and something fuzzy was sitting on his neck and squeaking at him. Then Acia tapped him on the nose, and everything came flooding back to him. Yawning, he sits up, effectively knocking the glider off of him. Acia didn't care in the slightest. She was just glad that he was awake n_n
His hand stretched out towards the small table beside the bed, blindly searching for his glasses while Acia chittered a morning report. Not that his sight was that bad, but he could tell she'd turned on the lights, and for that reason he kept his eyes stubbornly shut. He finally managed to find his glasses, and promptly slipped them on, reluctantly opening his eyes to peer down at the glider. "Good morning to you, too."
Acia squeaked n_n

Mauli was still asleep in the tree, slumped up against the trunk and curled in the fetal position.
Remy, however, was wide awake, and stalking through the House. His loud pawthumps filled the corridors, snarls echoing them every-so-often as he searched for his prey.
And that prey...?
Isto.

After yawning once more, Isto slid off the bed, standing and offering Acia his metal hand. The glider immediately leapt onto it and climbed up to his shoulder, continuing her chitters as if nothing had interupted her. Isto hadn't the faintest idea what she was saying, but to Acia it all fit perfectly. She'd been up for HOURS thinking over this speech, and now she'd run it past Isto before talking to Mauli and Fenwrit. She figured the whole thing must have just been an accident, and had already forgiven the pair completely n_n Of course, they didn't know that, but that was the point of this speech, right!?
Isto couldn't understand a word of it n_n But that was alright, because she was in a good mood, so it must be something good, aye? So he contented himself with bringing them down to breakfast, and allowed Acia to do all the talking. Mmm...brekkist....

Remy finally gave up, trotting silently down the stairs and into the kitchen. He curled up beside Lenta and Fenwrit, who hadn't moved since the night before. Stupid owners. XD
Mauli woke with a start, then yawned, stretching. She swung down off the branch, landing with a yelp on her feet. Maaaan, that hurt. Wincing, she stumbled off towards the house, mentally berating herself for staying out so long.

Isto entered the kitchen not long afterward and headed straight for the fridge, pulling it open and removing two gallon jugs, one of milk, one of orange juice. He nudged the fridge closed with one foot, then stepped over to the counter, setting both jugs on it and removing the glider from his shoulder. "Whadaya want for breakfast, Acia," he asked, turning and walking across the room to the pantry.
The glider chittered a reply and made herself usefull by dragging two glasses from the cabinet. Isto mumbled an acknowledgement. True, he couldn't understand what she'd said, but she ate the same thing for breakfast every day. He exited the pantry carrying a box of cereal -Blueberry Morning *drools*- and scoops a orange from a basket on the table one his way over. When he reached Acia, he set the orange on the counter and pulled a bowl from another cabinet, pouring himself some cereal. "You really should broaden your diet."
Acia ignored him n_n Orangeorangeorangeorange....

Remy stared dully at the oven until Isto and Acia entered, and it took him a few minutes to realize who they were. He stood, bristling, then slinked under the table and glared at Isto's leg.
And then he attacked.
He snarled, leaping at the leg and baring his teeth, clawing angrily at Isto's pants.
Mauli slipped back into the House, then leaned against the foyer wall, panting slightly. Daaaaaang, she messed her foot up... She wobbled towards the kitchen, her stomach rumbling loudly.

It took Isto a moment to realized he'd been attacked. In his own home. While he was trying to fix himself breakfast. Dammit.
A cry of mixed pain and surprise tore from his throat when Remy's claws dug into his leg. His immediate reaction was to kick the teal SM off, but in the process Remy's claws shredded the bottom half of his pants leg...and real leg, at that. Hissing from the sting, he backed away from the teal SM, glaring down at Remy. "What was that for?!"

Remy snarled, sheathing his claws and extending them as he glared up at Isto. Then, he jumped, landing on the fifth-stager's lap and pressing his front paws against Isto's chest.
"Listen here, butt," He sneered. ", you completely destroyed my sister last night, you know that? She did NOTHING to you, and you tore her feelings apart! Because of you, she feels like she's done something horrible! She's blaming herself for something she didn't do, and now... Now... Agh! You've practically killed her!"

The force of Remy's landing pushed Isto back against the wall, again hissing against the sting when the teal SM's claws dig into him. His metal hand balled into a fist, but he managed to restrain himself before punching Remy; the blow would have likely killed him. But now he was angry. And he still had one normal hand.
His metal hand rose to close around Remy's neck, wrenching the teal SM off of him, ignoring the cuts from his claws. Snarling, he reversed their positions, metal paw holding Remy against the wall, away from him. But as before stated, Isto was angry. Punching Remy in the gut made him feel better. "Listen, you can't blame all this on me! Sure, she didn't hurt me, but she hurt Acia! Listen to yourself! You're mad 'cause I hurt your sister, I can't be mad that she hurt mine? Mauli deserved every tear."

Remy grunted as Isto's hand connected with his stomach. He snarled, kicking out with his backlegs. He gasped out, teeth bared. "She deserved none of it, seeing as how she wasn't the one who made Acia cry! I was there, I saw!"
Suddenly, a shout. "Isto! Let him go!" Mauli cried out, having wobbled to the doorway of the kitchen. Her eyes were wide and shaking, and rimmed with red from crying. She stumbled in, then gasped, leaning against the table as her ankle colapsed beneath her.

Isto's fist was halfway to Remy's stomach for a second punch when Mauli's shout reached his ears. He managed to halt his fist, but tightened his grip somewhat on Remy's neck, glaring daggers at the teal SM, hissing his reply just loud enough to Remy could hear. "If she didn't do it, she could have prevented everything by telling me so. Don't blame me."
Stepping away, he dropped Remy onto the floor, still shaking slightly with anger. Her barely spared Mauli a glance before striding to the sink and wetting a rag, dropping to one knee to tend to the wounds on his leg.

"She was a bit busy crying over the loss of you." Remy said loudly, shaking like a dog after being dropped. He then pranced over to Mauli's side, rubbing up against her leg.
Mauli bent down to pick Remy up, her whole body trembling. Wincing at the pain from her ankle, she looped an arm around Remy's stomach, lifting him up and placing him over her shoulder. "I got carried away." She whispered, scratching Remy's ears fondly. "Apologize."
"...............sorry for scratching you up." Remy muttered, staring at the ground. "Won't happen again. Unless you wanna screw around with Mauli's feelings s'more." He added the last part in a grumbling whisper, and was promptly flicked by Mauli. "Ow!"
"I wish we wern't like this, Isto." Mauli said, then turned, hobbling out the kitchen with all thoughts of food gone.

He ignored them, waiting until they were gone before straightening up and tossing the blood-covered rag in the sink. He sighed, staring at the door she'd just left from. "Aye.. So do I." He turned back to the counter and his breakfast, but froze at the sight that greeted him.
Acia was sitting beside her half-peeled orange, glaring daggers at her older sibling, mouth hanging slightly open. She finally managed a half hearted squeak, then turned away, trotting across the counter before gliding to the floor, dissappearing out the door after Mauli.
"Acia..." Nope, she was gone. Isto groaned and slid down to sit on the floor, leaning back against the counter, eyes closed. Great, just great...

Mauli slowly climbed the stairs to the second floor, her heart pounding. Each step twisted her foot a bit more, and it was getting to the point where she was grunting everytime she put it down. She only stopped once, when Remy spoke up for the first time after leaving.
"She's following us."
Of course, Mauli knew who -she- was... So, she turned, sitting down with a groan on the step she was at. It couldn't be any worse, could it?

Acia had been running as fast as she could, and still she was having trouble catching up. But there they were! She could see them! And the teal one had seen her! And now the pirate one was sitting! Success! Wearily the little glider ran to the bottom of the steps, panting softly for breath while leaving from one step to the next.
She finally reached the step beneath Mauli's, but took a moment to catch her breath, chest heaving from the distance she'd run. It didn't seem like that far, but one had to remember how small she was...And then she had to climb stairs crying She'd soon rested enough at least to talk and turned her eyes up to Mauli, chittering meekly in what was quite obviously an apology. She knew they couldn't understand her, but.. Some things couldn't be mistaken, right?
