She didn't even hear the thing about kitsunes and big families. His comment about sex and babies and biology was still filtering through her head. She slowly simmered on it. So... what exactly was he saying? That their sex was just like any other sex? Were they just this biology junk? (She obviously has no schooling with any sort of science)
Suddenly she jumped up and gave a look that had once made a baby cry (ferocious as she was). "Sex is just sex, huh?" She started to pace around a little. "See, I thought it was more than that. I thought that it was an act of... of affection... and LOVE. Because that's what it was with you." She was so full of energy she blundered through her next sentence incoherently. "And... and babies aren't just babies! This would be MY baby, half me! Not just... not just some stupid product of sex!" She started to pace faster.
At this rate, she'd wear a path in his floor any moment now... but he had to credit her with not running away. No no, this Sy was much more... scary. o_O

He blinked as she whipped up one of her now, to him, completely managable tantrums. Treating her like a very spiny cactus was the trick. Gently gently.
"Sy-chan.. I didn't mean for us, I meant for... that sort of thing. Sex *is* just sex when it's not with someone you care about" he smiled a little, grasping her shoulders lightly. "Its different between two lovers and two.. people who're alleviating their needs as it were. "
He stopped, pausing to think about the fact it'd be half Sy. a little Sy running around would be amusing. "It'd be wonderful to see you have a child, Sy, then I'd know what it was like if we..." he left it hanging, hoping she'd take the bait.

....
She turned and looked at him, blinking several times. Both her face and mind flat-lined at the same moment. Surely he wasn't suggesting... that... they... no no, he was probably going to follow with "got hitched" or "had an accident." Yes yes, that was it. Yes. Cetainly. No sense in getting all flustered again.
There was a nervous laugh. Okay, maybe he did mean... make... babies. Sy-Aly babies. Now now, let's be sure, she reassured herself. "You... you're teasing, right? I mean... I... you... but... you haven't even told me about... about your family! Why would you trust me.... me with...." Tactic failing. >> << Time to... time to flee.
She looked down at her naked wrist, pretending there was a watch there. "Oh, would you look at the time..."

He grasped her shoulders firmly. "We weren't talking about us, we were talking about you and Tryon" he redirected her. "Sy-chan, I really do care for you but I would be happy to see you do this for a friend if thats what you wanted." he paused, thinking for a second.
"As for us well, you never can tell the future." he snickered slightly.

Yes yes, of course they were talking about Tryon. Yes, Tryon! Tryon and his boyfriend/lover. Not talking about their relationship at all. He was a tricky man, slipping in that dangling sentence to get her all flustered and then bringing up Tryon again.
Men.
Sighing softly she shook her head. If there was a way it wouldn't be hers, if it wasn't half-Sy, then this would be a much easier decision. If anything, talking to Alyosha only confused and befuddled her more as he didn't seem as horrified about having children as Tryon had made her believe he would. That threw in a whole new consideration.
"I don't know if the world could handle a half-Sy. I don't know if anyone could." Tryon and his partner wouldn't be able to control any powers Sy could pass on. Shrugging she turned. "I need to go." And without looking back, she jogged to the door.

Dragonfly had decided that it was another excellent day to go wandering, and with Iniko wisping about her head constantly, it was better she started sooner, rather than later. After all, while at the center she might run into someone she needed to talk to!
She would have gone looking for Kiro outright, knocking on his door and bringing donuts, or some other confection as an offering, but she didn't think knocking on almost every door in Cetalu would be very... Nice.
So again, she made her way to the centre. This time to post a list of things she needed from others, and hopefully, run in to someone.
Iniko drifted about Dragonfly's head, poking at the carefully wrapped package in Dragonfly's pocket. Of course, Iniko already knew what it was, as she refused to leave it anywhere, but it was still fun to watch her hand disappear into the folds of Dragonfly's cargo pants.

Had Dragonfly actually knocked on his door, Kiro certainly wouldn't have minded. As it was he was checking up on the "little terrors" as he'd affectionately labelled Pueblo and Tsukai when they were together. In fact, he had been counting the days until Fae's return with Pueblo, as suddenly Tsukai peeped loudly and hopped towards the door, bouncing up at it and fluttering. Pueblo too, once she had seen Tsukai's reaction, followed him, turning back to look at Kiro.
"Eeko!!" She declared.
Kiro simply paused for a moment. How could they know Iniko was outside? Maybe they'd heard her? Frowning a little in confusion, Kiro pushed open the door and looked out. And, as was said, Dragonfly was there and evidently in the act of pinning something to the noticeboard. And if Dragonfly was there... Iniko had to be nearby surely?
Kiro laughed a little in mild surprise as Pueblo and Tsukai zoomed past him towards Dragonfly, and he followed them.
"Hey Dragonfly," he said, raising a hand in greeting as he moved towards her. He'd changed a lot since coming here, the neko-jin realised suddenly. Once upon a time he'd've sat in his room and hoped whoever it was didn't want to talk to him.
It was a good change. He liked it.

The Notice To the inhabitants of Cetalu,
Iniko has recieved her growth quest, and obviously, I'm going to need a little help. There is a list below of things I need to get a hold of, and I was wondering if you could help me out. If you want to help, could you please write a time and a date when you will be available beside the item, your name, and where you would like to meet. I'm almost always available, so it's really up to you.
Thank you very much in advance,
-Dragonfly and Iniko
The List:
- 1 Leaf
- 4 beads (I would like to get different beads from different people, so if you have one rolling around, let me know.)
- 1 very long ribbon
- 1 piece of Malachite (from Rahujo)
- 1 length of crepe bandage
I will also be needing a few feathers from some of the other Aerandir, but I would like to speak with them in person, so the list for that is not found here.
Thanks again!
Upon finishing that, Dragonfly turned at the sound of Kiro's familiar voice, and she smiled fondly.
"Neko-chan!" she waved, "Hi! How're you doing?"
But before Kiro could answer, a whitish blue wisp came rushing towards him, and dove giggling through his chest. Iniko emerged on the other side of Kiro, giggling like a hyena, and holding her arms in front of her face.

Kiro sucked in a shocked breath as Iniko dove straight through him. More from surprise than anything else. He'd seen some of the Aerandir - Osu and Pueblo to name two - in their wisp forms, but he didn't think he'd been noticably 'passed through' before.
He turned back to Iniko, who was now behind him, with a smile. "Wow Iniko - look at you huh? You've grown up since I saw you last!"
He then turned back to Dragonfly, his head tilted a little as he decided not to object to being called Neko-chan. He didn't want his 'other' nickname becoming common knowledge about the island. "I'm good. So... Guess you're looking for things now too?" he asked, his tone bright and curious as he came over to look at the list, seeing if there was anything he could contribute.
Tsukai on the other hand, wasn't interested in this scavanger hunt all the guardians seemed to go on. No, he wanted more playtime with his new friend!! And when Osu had been all see-through like this, he'd gotten a lot faster - so fast Tsu couldn't even touch him!! With this in mind, the little guy was determined to tag Iniko, just to prove to himself he could. So, with that in mind, he launched himself towards Iniko, aiming to land on her head!!

Dragonfly couldn't help but laugh a little as Iniko fired herself through Kiro, giggling softly and shaking her head.
"Sorry, Iniko quite likes zipping through things. I just hope she doesn't try it when she's more... Solid, or it's going to hurt!"
She smiled softly and ran her fingers through her hair, frowning a little though as her hand brushed over the bandages she had placed over her left eye. Just after she had spent time with Kiro she had headed back to the mainland to see if she could pick up a few things for Iniko's growth quest, and she had run into someone she hadn't ever wanted to see.
"Don't think about it now," she told herself, "It's not the time,"
She forced a smile back on to her features, and tilted her head to the right, so that her hair stayed in place, shadowing her eye.
Iniko giggled to Kiro once more, and only barely managed to catch sight of Tsukai jumping towards her. Quickly she dove out of the way, before realizing that the other would have only sailed through her, and pouting that she had missed the chance of it happening.

Kiro couldn't help but notice the bandages around on Dragonfly's head and covering her eye. He considered asking about it - aware that last time he'd asked a question of unwitting relevance he'd made the situation uncomfortable. But it seemed like it would be rude to ignore it. He lifted a hand towards his own eye, tapping the side of his head lightly as he spoke. "Your eye? What happened to it...?"
In the meantime, Tsukai wheeled around at his failure, unwilling to be outdone by this mere wisp of a thing! He charged again, hopping up into the air!!
Pueblo, in the meantime, had sat on the floor nearby and was giggling gleefully at them both. She found it funny how Tsukai kept seeming to want to jump through other Aerandir! She wondered if he was going to try and jump through himself when he grew up! With that thought she clapped, completely oblivious to the conversation between the adults near her.

Dragonfly smiled weakly as the other addressed her injury, and she replied, "It's a long story,"
She dropped her head, and smiled ruefully, before the softest of pained laughs escaped her lips.
"I ran into an old enemy," she said, grinning lopsidedly, though her good eye showed deep pain.
Iniko meanwhile giggled at Tsukai, and waved franticly to Pueblo, allowing the small gryphon to jump through her. Oooh, Tsukai was soo silly!

Kiro tilted his head a little at the answer, not sure what she meant by that. An old enemy huh? Oh well, not his place to pry.
"It says you need feathers here," he said, wondering. "Whose do you need?"

Dragonfly laughed and said, "Believe me Kiro, he wound up with the worst of the injuries. This is nothing compared to what I did to get away from him,"
It worried her that he had even found her, but she figured Kiro would get that well enough. She needed to stay off the mainland for awhile it seemed, and hope that he didn't catch wind of her living on Cetalu... She was happy that Enoh and Nio were still temporarily living in her old home, as it made her feel a little safer about leaving her children at home.
"Feathers! Right! I was meaning to ask you..." she smiled brightly, "Well, I need one from Marli, one from Osusuki, one from Acia, and..." her gaze shifted to land on Tsukai, who was currently soaring through Iniko, "...and one from Tsukai,"

"You need one of Tsu's...?" Kiro's face brightened as he half asked the question. "Give me a second then... I have something for you." He scooted away down the corridor (he seemed to keep running off to retrieve things from his room while she was about) and returned with something in his hand, before opening it and holding it out to her. "Will that be okay?" he asked, one of his ears twitching lightly. "He lost it this morning."
