Iniko could already tell that she liked this gryphon very much. She pranced in place gleefully for a moment, before launching herself after the other gryphon. So it was tag was it? Fine with her!
Dragonfly pulled a pen out from the pocket of her shorts, having dressed for the beach, and quickly scrawled a quick list of things she needed.The List Alyosha, Dragonfly needs a few things from the mainland! Thanks in advance!
Batteries ((Double and Triple A if you wouldn't mind))
A Tensor Bandage ((I've noticed mine is worse for the wear))
Instant Cold Packs ((Bloody useful things...))
Tha's it. Thanks again Aly!
"It's good to meet you Kiro!" she said, looking over at Iniko and Tsukai, "Yes, she is a female. I am indeed her guardian. My name is Dragonfly, by the way~"
She hadn't met anyone in a long time. Too long for her really, and she was happy to be socializing again. As much as she enjoyed her time alone, this was nice too.

Phwar!! She was following him! Gleefully, the small gryphon realised that his plan had worked and he'd initiated a game of tag. Fluttering, he bounced up and onto a table - then somehow springing and fluttering to one nearby. He then sat on his haunches, watching the other Aerandir, playfully mocking her.
Nyaa-nyaa~~~!!
Kiro watched Dragonfly write her note, then smiling as she turned back to him. "Pleasure's mine," he murmured. He then paused, turning to glance at Tsukai. "Careful, Tsu..." he warned before turning back to the girl. He then took in what she was wearing. "Going for a wander?" he asked curiously, and wondering idly if she'd want company.

If he thought she couldn't climb up there he had another thing coming! She was part raccoon after all!
Stretching her grey wings she took a flying leap onto the table, running across it and flying through the air towards the table Tsukai was on. She landed on the table, but slid across it, and with a honk of surprise, found her butt on the ground again. She blinked a bit, before standing back up on four legs, and going over to the leg of the table, beginning to climb up it quickly to get back on top of the table.
Dragonfly's toes curled and uncurled from their place in her Spider-man flip flops, and she nodded.
"Heading to the beach, actually. Planning to go for a picnic. Would you and your gryphon like to come with us? I have plenty of food, and I'd sure Iniko would like the company!" she beamed.

Harhar!! Tsukai hopped to one side as Iniko skidded across the table, rushing to the edge and peering over at her. Then, when she started to climb up again, he waited until she was almost on the tabletop before hopping off with a flutter and hop-fluttered around the room gleefully. This was the most fun he'd had in aaaaaages!!
Kiro grinned a little as she made the offer. "Sounds like fun. And I'm sure Tsu could use some playtime." He paused a little as he said it. He couldn't really leave Pueblo by herself if they were going out. "I'm kind of babysitting," he said, smiling still. "She's asleep right now, so I'll have to go get her. I'll be back in a second." He promptly disappeared for a minute or so, and emerged with a sleepy-looking Pueblo holding his hand.
She rubbed at her eyes for a second, before spotting Tsukai and Iniko and pointing at them both. "Suuu!! Eeko!!"

Iniko had been expecting this from Tsukai, and immediatly pushed herself off the table leg, launching herself into the air, paws outstretched to try and grab Tsukai. She manged to paw his back foot, but little more. She stretched out her wings and landed lightly, before spinning in a circle, and racing after Tsukai once more, honking happily.
"That's no problem!" Dragonfly said cheerfully, smiling as the other went to fetch Pueblo.
She blinked as she caught sight of the Aerandir, and smiled, not recognizing Pueblo as the gryphon she had met when spending time with Fae before.
"Hello there!" she said, smiling to the child brightly.
Iniko paused in her chase to swivel her neck in Pueblo's direction, before crying out with joy, and racing towards her. She jumped around the other's feet, before nuzzling and honking again.

Pueblo was happy to see her friend again - although, granted, she hadn't been so high off the ground then. She reached towards Iniko in an attempt to hug the gryphon gleefully. Tsukai, feeling left out, peeping loudly and ran towards the small gaggle and hopped onto Pueblo's head by way of Iniko's rump.
Kiro couldn't help but shake his head in amusement as he let go of Pueblo's hand. "Well... I take it Iniko and Pueblo have met before?"
Almost as though in response to Kiro's question to Dragonfly, Pueblo waved at the woman gleefully, recognising her.

Iniko was surprised as Tsukai used her bum to launch himself onto Pueblo's head, but she didn't mind, she was merely happy to see Pueblo again.
But she was so much bigger than Iniko now!
Dragonfly blinked, and gaped a bit.
"That's Pueblo?" she managed, still surprised by it, "Wow. I didn't even know-- Hi Pueblo!"
Dragonfly grinned, and waved again to the small child, laughing at her own foolishness.
"When next I see Fae I'll have to congratulate her-- Oh Pueblo you're so gorgeous!" she grinned, walking to the door and picking up her picnic basket.
"What's say we all head to the beach now, ne?"

(( Continued from the Settlement )) With Tsukai sleepily wedged in at his neck, and Pueblo's hand in his own, Kiro pushed open the door of the centre. He paused for a moment with a slight sigh, looking around the empty area before letting the door swing shut behind him as he went inside. "Time to get you two some sleep." "No' tie-ud!" piped up Pueblo, her expression one of pouting. "But Tsu is tired. We need to be quiet so he can sleep, okay?" She paused for a moment, seeming to consider. She then nodded dutifully, not speaking again as Kiro led her down the corridor and pushed the door open, leading her in and closing it behind them. Today had been fun, he decided - hoping that he and Dragonfly would meet up again sometime.

Delta saw Kiro coming, and waited for him to go through the door before dashing forward as fast as she could while dragging three books behind her that were relatively big in comparison to her stature. She had just made it through the door when it closed on the books behind her. Agitated, she gave a tug. It barely budged.
=_=
You try to do a nice thing for your mother and the evil man she likes, and this is what you got: hard labor and filthiness! Annoyed to a whole new measure, she started to pull on the blanket for all it was worth until finally it ripped, leaving a tiny piece in the door... but the rest made it through, relatively unscathed.
After this she had to still haul it all the way back to Aly's apartment door, past a myriad of all sorts of chairs and cushions and tables whose sheer existance at this moment pissed her off. When she finally got to Aly's apartments she told herself if he didn't shape up after all her hard work she'd do something drastic.
I mean, she had gotten FILTHY doing this... and made her favorite blanket into a detestable... thing. Deciding that now she needed a nap, she promptly pranced onto a cushion for her nap after tolerating pure hell.
The following books, along with a dirty, sandy, and ripped blanket, were left on Alyosha's doorstep: Lady and the Tramp, Aladdin, and Sleeping Beauty.

Alyosha was refreshed since his trip to the mainland and had more than a few errands to do. He had to see Sy at some point, he really hadn't made enough time for her but being an administrator did not allow for a flexible timetable.
He walked out into the hall, intending to get some coffee, read some of the new mail and see if anything had needed attantion whilst he was away. He nearly broke his neck as he tripped over a small pile of books and ragged fabric. Picking himself up, he stared down at the small library and wondered where they had come from. There was no note or anyone nearby to tell him. He let his senses 'loosen' and scented an animal nearby. Grasping the book, wondering at their unusual titles, he walked towards where he could see a flash of blue.
Delta. Hmm. He looked at the book and then at the sleeping gryphon. Surely not? Perhaps her ambassadorial qualities were coming through. But why the books? Lady and the Tramp, Aladdin, and Sleeping Beauty? Fairy tales. Hmm. He sat them down on one of the tables. Kiro had been looking for some, maybe she had meant to give them to him and left them at the wrong door? But she wouldn't know that.
One thing he was sure of was that there was no Sy in sight. Surely she knew better than to leave a small gryphon running around on it's own. Especially one so inept at keeping herself out of mischeif. He smiled as he imagined Delta all covered in paint once more and how much she had disliked it. Forgetting about the coffee for the present, he lifted up the cushion Delta was on, gently enough to hopefully not make her stir.
Continued here.

Alyosha snuck out of his apartments quietly, hopefully not waking those within. It had been a good night and he was in a very good mood.
He walked out into the main centre, knowing that the mail should have been delivered from Ar' Idil this morning - one of Anthony's new duties for a little while.
Peering at the mail he found an unusual letter addressed to himself, it was written in Japanese and he quickly scanned over it.
Kandera An unexpected letter Alyosha, Hey there - my name's Kandera, a friend of Anakiro's. He asked me if I could get a keychain out of the capsule machine and send it your way - as a thank you for taking him under your wing. He thinks very highly of you and I've heard a lot about you from his letters (though he probably wouldn't want me to tell you as much!! ^_~) The kitty itself is kind of complicated to explain, but I'm sure Kiro can fill you in better than I could write about it. Take good care of it when it matures! Thanks and good wishes, Kandera 
A keychain... hmm.. He held the little trinket up and looked at its shimmering silvery body. Interesting. He'd have to remember to thank Kiro and ask him a little more about it. Matures, hmm?

Ieyasu opened the door to the centre, a black bag slung over his shoulder. Taking a few steps into the building, the young kitsune glanced around, his gaze searching. He wondered if Alyosha would be here.
Osu, as usual, rushed ahead of Ieyasu into the main room of the centre. Happy to be back out of the house again, the little wisp had a broad grin on his face. On spotting Alyosha in the main room, he stopped dead in his tracks. Giving a happy little giggle, he waved energetically. He remembered Alyosha from the night with the biiiiiig fire! And the yummy food!
Spotting Osu wave at somebody, Ieyasu stepped into the main room. Someone was here, evidently. As he saw the older kitsune, he smiled, nodding in greeting. "Morning, Alyosha."

Alyosha smiled and waved at the owner and wisp, pondering that the only time he seen wisps now was when they came to be changed into children.
He assumed this was probably why Ieyasu was here, especially since he had a somewhat large sack over his shoulder. "Good morning" he replied, stretching a little. "Here on business?" he asked, eyeing yasu's sack.

"Yeah, actually, now that you mention it. You were just the person I was looking for." Ieyasu smiled at Alyosha, before setting the bag down. "We managed to collect everything on the list you sent over. I was just wanting to ask you what happens with this stuff now."
Osu tilted his head at Alyosha for a moment. Suddenly curious, he wondered what it was that the dark-haired man had there. It looked shiny! Hovering over to him, he giggled, clasping his little ethereal hands behind his back. He did like meeting people again!

Alyosha nodded and pointed to a space on the floor. "If you spread them all out here we can go ahead and bring Osu into his next stage. It's an interesting process, I think you'll enjoy seeing it." He smiled at the other kitsune and wondered if he, too, was a little jaded with the 'normal' magics. This was something entirely different.
Walkeing over to the indicated spot he kneeled, waiting for Ieyasu to spread out the items. whilst he waited he watched Osu flitting about and smiled, wondering how rambunctious this little child was going to be.
