He let the tail fall so as not to spook her further, lazily looping his metal arm around her. Honestly, kid could handle a metal arm, but would run away from a hairless tail? ...Fine by him.
And her logic was amazing to boot. 'Mommy would be mad at you...' Hyuck.
"But if I don't cut it off, I might get sick," he explained patiently, flicking his tail back to his side. "And that'd make Mommy even more mad, don't you think?"

"No." She said promptly, "Mommy would go like this:"
Suddenly, the toddler began screeching at the top of her lungs and waving her arms frantically around, nearly smacking Isto directly in the face several times.
And as soon as it started, it stopped, and Tourma simply grinned.
Seconds later, a huffing and puffing Slush came tearing into the garage, hands gripping the frame. "WhathappenedandisTourmaokay?!" He wailed before his eyes caught a glance of Isto's naked tail. "ANDWHATDIDYOUDOTOYOURTAIL!?" He squeak-wailed.
"See. Mommy mad." Tourma retorted matteroffactly.

Had not Isto known Tourma was only demonstrating, he would have been rather worried himself. Now that he saw the act, he made a mental note not to worry as much if ever he heard that particular scream again. He leaned away somewhat to avoid her flailing arms, sitting correctly once more only when she fell still, and rolled his eyes when Slush burst into the room.
Talented little bugger. "Clearly. But he's mad this way, not with my tail gone, neh? So I should cut it off to make him happier."
Turning his attention to Slush, he flashed a quick grin to reassure him, lightly patting Tourma's shoulder. "Tourma's fine, and Faust scorched the fur off my tail again. Our dear daughter simply wanted to prove a point."

Slush blinked while catching his breath, looking back from Tourma, to Isto, to the bald tail, and back again. Facepalming himself, Slush ran his hand through his hair before motioning them both in, "Inside. Food's ready anyways."
Shaking his head, the SM headed inside and disappeared from sight.
Their daughter just giggled, clapping her hands together before grunting to climb up and wrap her arms around Isto's neck. "Piggy to dinner." She informed him. No choice item.

Isto just shook his head, smiling fondly after Slush as he headed back to the kitchen. Poor guy needed to relax a tad... He'd been paranoid about Tourmaline since the freezing incident. Not that he hadn't been before, of course...
Snapping back to the present, he glanced back at his daughter and laughed, moving his metal arm around to hold her in place and climbing to his feet. "Piggy to dinner," he agreed, starting for the door. "And you get to give me one afterwards."
And off they went.

 A visit to the clinic. Kaioto_Katsuma Barely a few days past Thanksgiving, and already the shops of Barton are filled to the brim with all sorts of holiday decorations. Kaioto's first thought is that they're rushing the season a bit, but it's hard not to get a little caught up in the spirit. Kiana and Solaris, too, find themselves with not enough eyes, trying to take in all the holiday decorations and colorful packages carried by almost every person they pass. Even the GMFC boasts a "secret santa" event. The GMFC... well, Kaioto had been planning on buying gifts for the twins while they were caught up with some toy or another, but that could get a bit tricky... this was an excuse, wrapped up in bows! "Hey guys, I've got some stuff to do now, kind of boring. You want to wait here, and when I'm done I can come back and we can go get hot chocolate?" she says to the twins she's holding by the hand. Solaris eyes the clinic, remembering that the last time he was here he got kissed by a weird girl. "Er...." Kiana, however, has no such objections. Hot chocolate sounds good, and maybe if she's not with her mom while she's shopping for whatever it is adults like to shop for, then she'll be able to convince her to go into a bookshop or three. >> "Come on, Solaris, maybe there's some kids inside you can, er... be a pirate with?" she says. Well that's not very convincing. It's what he wanted last time. Buuutttt... well, can't hurt to try again... right? "Fine." "We'll see you later, mom!" exclaims Kiana, letting go of Kaioto's hand and opening the door for her brother. "Come ooonnn." "Alright... bye mom." replies Solaris before walking through the opened door, Kiana just behind him. Lenachan358
"You don't really want to get in a clinic, Tyyne." Ronin looked at the girl who was carrying quite a few bags, which contained Christmas presents.
"I want to look at everything so we can get just the best presents for everyone." The blonde Eden smiled in a shy way at her teenage brother. She was wearing her hair open today and her golden eyes seemed to show certain excitement.
Ronin sighed and gestured towards the door. "Well, I guess you never saw something like this before, because otherwise you'd know that there aren't any presents available here." He slightly pushed the door open and held it so Tyyne was able to enter the building.
Her cheeks flushed at once as she saw a boy and a girl who seemed to be about her own age. Oh no ! Unknown people ! They probably weren't Edens...
Chibi Sheepcat "Sachiya, hurry up!" Havok called, zipping up his jacket and staring expectantly at his son. He had promised the boy yesterday that he'd take him back to the clinic to meet some new friends. Since Maelon had left with Pryderi, there was no one else around that was Sachiya's age, and consequentially the boy was feeling a bit lonely. Besides, there was nothing wrong with getting out of the house for a little while.
"Coming!" The boy called, finally managing to get that last boot on his foot. Stupid clothing. He wanted to go already! He had just started buttoning up his jacket when Okita leapt onto his shoulder, chirping merrily. "Okita coming?" Sachiya asked, the Idle Thought currently nesting himself in the boy's scarf. The little creature chirped again, now quite cozy and ready to go. Trotting out the door and down the steps towards his chichiwe, the pair set off for the GMFC.
Sachiya reached the doors first, having run down the last hill. Not waiting for his Dad to meet him down there, the boy opened the door, slipping inside. After all, he didn't want Okita to get cold. The clinic didn't look that full, which made it easier to pick out who he knew and who he didn't. Not spotting the cool woman from the Halloween party or anyone he knew for that matter, Sachi settled for the boy and girl nearest to him. They looked his size. "Hey." He greeted, falling into step with the taller children. "Who're you?" Okita chirped his greeting, still nestled in Sachiya's scarf. Kaioto_Katsuma Oh crap. Another girl. Solaris sighs upon Tyyne's entrance. He knew he shouldn't have gone along with Kiana... slumping in the nearest seat, he wonders idily if invisibility is a power he might spontaneously develop. Kiana, noticing her brother's reaction, nudges him in the arm. "Yo, Solaris. Look up." He does and is greeted with the sight of... YES! A boy! Boy don't kiss boys, so he's safe! Suddenly not-so-slumped in his chair, he happily replies to the boy who's just made his way over to them. "I'm Solaris!" Not waiting for her brother to mention her at all (Ha, like he would), Kiana adds "And I'm Kiana.". No reason to add they're siblings. Either it's obvious to this new kid, or it's not, but why make it obvious the strange little princeling is in any way related to her? Solaris flashes a glance in her direction as though he knows what she's thinking, but says nothing of it. Instead, he turns to the boy. "Who're you, then?" XBear Slush would be having a heart attack if Tourma even suggested going outside again, especially in the snow. He would also be having one if he knew that his daughter was in fact outside, in the cold, without him to protect her in the very least. Thus, Slush currently had no idea what was going on, not after X had reintroduced him to a fifth of vodka before she left the house, a snugly bundled toddler in tow. Isto had informed her about the escape and that her granddaughter had behaved like her son-in-law had last winter. And she wasn't about to let Tourmaline get cold like that again. Wrapped in a multitude of layers, hats, and scarves, the toddler could barely peer her eyes out to watch the snow falling around the pair as she was carried towards the clinic. Her tail was currently curled up under her coat and 'hiding' from the tail monster, the same one which had apparently 'killed' Isto's tail bald. Or at least, that's what X had said. "See, it's not bad outside. Your Mommy's full of s**t." X cooed as the vampire pushed her way into the clinic, shaking the snow out of her wavy blonde hair. "s**t?" The toddler repeated, words muffled by the scarf wrapped around her face, which was soon unwrapped once the two were out of the way of the door. It was then she noticed the twins. Twins like Dari and Zach. The same but a little different. "Hiyas!" She chirpped, in quite a good mood now that she had been allowed outside. X nodded to the pair, continuing to unravel the toddler from her massive amounts of layers. Chibi Sheepcat Ridding the snow from his boots, Havok strolled in a few minutes after Sachiya had made his entrance. So the boy had already found himself someone to talk to? Excellent. He would let him do his own thing - baring any major catastrophes - and just sit and watch. This was the boy's time, not his. Seating himself in the corner, the kitsune reached for a magazine, and began flipping idly through it. He glanced up when the door opened, watching as a woman brought in what looked like an extremely bundled up toddler. Havok watched the overly-dressed toddler for a moment, before chuckling and returning to his magazine. Poor kid.
Sachiya tilted his head at the sudden change in posture at his appearance. Did he not like girls or something? Maybe he had been bitten by a girl or something. That would defiantly have put him off. His ears perk when the boy speaks to him, one ear turning when the girl also introduces herself. Solaris and Kiana? They were easy names to say. "'m Sachiya. This is Okita." The idle thought chirped, before wiggling his way out of the boy's scarf. He had caught sight of Tourmaline's rather vibrant hair, and was positively fascinated by it. Mind you, the idle thoughts aren't very intelligent, so this wasn't surprising. Bounding across the floor, the little creature leapt up beside Tour, blinking his blue eyes up at her. Pretty hair. Lenachan358
Tyyne was close to turn around and run out as she bumped into Ronin who was silently standing behind her. She knew he wouldn't allow her to go without introducing. He was always so formal. Usually she liked him for being like this, but after seeing the face of the young boy, which had been filled with disgust, she didn't want to get to know them.
"Come on, they're you're age." The older one simply pushed her towards the small crowd of people and bowed as a greeting. The other girl looked a bit like a princess. A small one, but after all she had the spark. "May I introduce myself ? I am Ronin Caraway and this is my sister..." He pushed her a bit.
"Tyyne..." She mumbled very insecure and stared at the floor.Kaioto_Katsuma "Aaw!" is Kiana's only response to the little Idle Thought. She may not be your typical girly girl, but it's hard to ignore something that abnormally cute and fluffy. "Where's he going?" she says, half to herself, as she watches him bound off towards the bright-haired girl. She'd have kept watching the little creature if it wasn't for... Wow. o_o "Um... hi." she says back to Ronin. "I'm Kiana, and that's Solaris....my brother.". Damnit, she said it. They're related. >> Meanwhile, Solaris, trying his very best to ignore Tyyne's nearness, keeps his attention on Sachiya. "Sachiya... cool name!" Ok, so he's not the master of conversation starters. Shhhh. XBear Once Tourmaline was unravelled, X watched the older children and yawned, having expected this for the most part. If one would be looking, they would have noticed that this woman was definately not of any blood relation whatsoever to this child. Narrowing her eyes at the little creature, the daywalker kept a keen eye on it as it chirpped up to Tourma, who seemed to definately be enjoying the little animal. "Fluff~!" She exclaimed, petting the little animal almost immediately. Maybe she should have brought her pegasus to show off too? Lenachan358 Tyyne saw how the girl reacted to her brother and looked away. She knew that she wasn't good with people. She never had been. Her golden eyes looked at the toddler and a slight smile crossed her lips. How cute. Perhaps the toddler would like her ?
"Hey, little one." She said as she kneeled down to look at Tourmaline.
Damnit, what was his sister doing ? He didn't intend to talk to all the younger ones. Really, he had just wanted to help her. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mylady." Ronin said to Kiana and nodded at Solaris. He seemed to have problems with girls. Strange.
"Is something special going on here or why are so many people at this...clinic ?" He addressed everyone in the room. Kaioto_Katsuma Kiana replies to Ronin's question even thought it wasn't specifically directed to her. "Well, um, we're here 'cause our mom is shopping." Ok, it didn't explain much, especially since he seemed confused at it specifically being a clinic. "Um... people come here to, er... meet other people?" And now it sounded like a dating service. XD Oh well, good enough. Chibi Sheepcat Sachiya beamed when Solaris said his name was cool, quite pleased by the compliment. Of course he had a cool name! Du-uh! "I like your name too." After all, it was only fair to return compliments. Besides, Solaris was kind of a cool name too. His ear flicked in the direction of Ronin when the boy spoke, but as he wasn't balancing penguins on his head or something cool like that, he kept his focus on Solaris. "D'you come here lots?" He asked, flopping down next to the boy. He'd let the "Kiana" person deal with everyone else. He wasn't too good at multitasking conversations anyways.
Fwee! He was getting petted! Okita puffed himself up, rubbing against Tourmaline's hand lovingly. He liked being petted. Hopping up neatly onto her lap, he gave her hair a good sniff, as though deciding whether or not it was edible. Probably not. Oh well. It was still cool. XBear If her granddaughter hadn't been there, X would have surely lit up a cigarette and started smoking just to clear out a good chunk of the children here. Fortunately for all here, X didn't really want to deal with Slush's tantrum when he found out, and she wouldn't smoke in front of her family's children anyways. Other people's children however... Tourmaline blinked up at the blonde haired girl, staring at her for a moment. Had she just called her little? Little?! Narrowing her eyes at the other girl, who probably could never take apart a toaster or do anything cool like that, the toddler scoffed softly, "Not little. I stronger than everyone!" X raised her eyebrow at her granddaughter, "What about Babcia Sandia?" "Everyone but Babcia~!" She corrected, nodding promptly to all who were listening to her while she continued to pet the idle thought since it had invited itself into her lap already. Kaioto_Katsuma "Thanks!" replies Solaris before adding "Um... no, not really. Just every once in a while, if we're around and there's nothing better to do." He shrugs. "How 'bout you? I've never seen you here before, I don't think." Lenachan358 Tyyne blinked as she looked at the girl. Wow, even this one was more confident than she was. She was pretty sure that she was also able to swim and Ty was the only one that couldn't. Perhaps she should wish to get more confident for Christmas.
" Oh sorry, of course. Who is Babcia ?" She asked politely as if the girl was just in her age.
Ronin tried to get the information in the meantime. So people came here to meet ? A bit like the simulacra headquarter. Sounded strange though to meet inside a clinic. Perhaps all of these people were sick ? Nah...that wasn't a nice thought.
"We were about to shop for Christmas too." He answered as he looked at the boys. They seemed to get along quite well. "So I guess you two are twins ? Your looks are similar." Ronin smiled. Kaioto_Katsuma Kiana nods. "Well, not that similar, I don't think... but yeah, we're twins." she replies. Then, in response to Ronin's first comment, she adds "It was my mom's idea. I hadn't even thought of Christmas shopping yet." Not that she really had a lot of people to get gifts for, but still, it hadn't even crossed her mind until Kaioto mentioned coming here today. XBear "Babcia." Tourmaline repeated, pointing to X as if it should be common knowledge, "Duh." X had to keep from laughing, "Babcia is 'grandmother' in Polish..." Pausing, the daywalker's grin grew a bit more, "For obvious reasons, I'd rather not be refered to as 'Grandma.'" The toddler simply continued to pet the little creature as she watched the other girl. She was sure that this one wasn't a fun with nuts and bolts kind of girl. Lenachan358 "Thanks for the explaination, Miss." Tyyne said quite relieved that she wasn't as stupid as she thought. "I thought you were her mother. You don't really look like a grandma." Such people had gray hair and baked cookies. She knew that from TV.
"Sure, not that similar of course." Ronin chuckled and nodded slightly as he sat down beside Kiana. "Do you have any special Christmas wishes ? XBear "That's because I'm a vampire, and I don't age like humans do." The daywalker grinned toothily, as if to prove her statement true to the little girl. "She's my son and his husband's daughter." Tourma simply continued to watch the girl warily, as if not sure she should trust the blonde quite yet. Kaioto_Katsuma Kiana smiles. She likes this guy, he's not the kind to go on and on about 'what precious little twins they are', something she hears a bit too often. Comes with the territory of being a twin, she supposes. "Special Christmas wish?" she repeats, mostly to herself. "I guess I haven't really thought of it..." Then again... "I guess I'd really want my own room. Ours is getting kind of crowded." she responds, finally. It was true, and Solaris would certainly agree. They were long overdue for seperate rooms, but Kaioto never seemed to have the time to take on such a large personal project. "What about you? Anything you really want?" she asks. Lenachan358 "Vampire ?" Tyyne shivered as she heard the word and looked at the woman quite frightened. Now she really wanted to run away...but...wait..."I know a girl who has bat features. That's not the same isn't it ?" Probably it was, hopefully it was.
As suddenly an idea struck her she moved towards one of her shopping bags and pulled out a candycane. "Is she allowed to eat this already ?"
Ronin smiled politely. "I can understand. Gladly our house is big enough, so everyone has his own room." Although I'll probably move out soon, he thought. His own very special wish was something he hadn't told anyone about it yet. "I...want a horse." XBear The daywalker grinned when the little girl looked almost terrified of her, but once the 'bat features' were mentioned, a frown quickly replaced her smile. "Vampires do not turn into bats." Sneering somewhat, the vampire coughed somewhat when Tourmaline looked up at her curiously, regaining her composure. Damn, she really wanted a cigarette right about now. Kaioto_Katsuma "Oh, our home is big enough. Our mom's just really busy." She replies. "I'm gonna put it on my Christmas list though, then maybe I'll get my own!" "A horse?" she questions. Now that was something she had a lot of. "We've got a whole stable of them! Maybe you could, er, come visit sometime and I can show you?" Ok, so they're not exactly horses, seeing as some of them have wings, but close enough. Besides, it's nice to have something to show off to someone. Lenachan358 "They don't ?" See, now the TV wasn't always telling the truth. "I didn't know that. So...err...you don't drink blood, do you ?" Tyyne shivered a bit as she offered the candy cane to Tourmaline.
Now he felt strange. Somehow he wanted to scream YEAH SHOW ME, whereas his pride had problems with talking like this to a girl, who was younger. Obviously. But they had horses. "Oh really ? You know, I really adore them." Ronin added as he smiled at Kiana. "Would be great." XBear "They don't. And yes, I do." X seemed to find this absolutely amusing, and grinned once more, "But alas, I haven't had time to hunt lately." She said sadly, putting a hand to her heart as she nodded to Tourma, who was eyeing the candy cane suspiciously, "It's okay Sandia." Reaching out, the SM toddler took the candy cane and smiled somewhat, "Thank you." she replied, holding the candy carefully. Lenachan358 "Erm...oh..." Tyyne looked at her wrist although no watch was attached to it. "I...we...it's late. We need to go. See you miss, see you...strong one." The Eden girl got up as quickly as possible.
Ronin was startled as Tyyne pulled at his sleeve. "We need to go. Need to go." She mumbled and he was just able to wave to Kiana as he was dragged out of the clinic. XBear The daywalker simply laughed heartily, shaking her head and gathering up Tourma's extra layers before picking up the toddler, "We're going to go home the fast way Sandia lovely because Babcia doesn't want to rewrap you up." Tourmaline didn't have time to respond before the pair had blinked out of the clinic and back home.

Happy Anniversary. 
"Mommy..?"
The young voice pulled him out of his thoughts and the SM turned towards the now cracked doorway, where Tourmaline's face was curiously peering inside. Slush simply grinned and beckoned her inside.
A toothy grin appeared on his daughter's face just before she pushed the door open the rest of the way and bounded loudly over to Slush, raising her arms up to him in the universal sign for 'pick me up'. He obliged, scooping her up with a slight grunt at weight, "Hey beautiful. What are you up to?" Pressing a kiss to her forehead, Slush leaned back and brushed her hair back out of her face.
"Bored," she stated matter of factly before explaining with a frown, "Everyone outside."
Well, Isto and he had been expecting this to come up sooner than later, and with a sigh, Slush forced a slight smile, "Yeah�" Trailing off in hopes of something brilliant to come out of his mouth on its own, he finally just took the 'change of subject' option.
"Hey Tourma, want to help Mommy with his surprise to Daddy?" Slush said excitedly, coupled with a hopeful look to the toddler in his lap.
This question was first met with a suspicious look; Tourmaline's eyes narrowing slightly before they returned to normal and she mimicked his emotion, "Otay! But why surprise?" Her face once again scrunched up in thought, watching Slush for the answer.
"Because surprises are so~ much fun!" With a cheeky grin, Slush stood up and readjusted the toddler on his hip before reaching out and placing the shoebox's lid back onto the box. "Hmm�Are you big enough to carry a box?" Tapping his chin and putting on an expression of mock doubt as he glanced over his daughter, eyes sparkling mischievously.
"Yes! Tourmaline big an' strong!" She chortled defiantly, puffing her chest out somewhat; gods know where she picked that up from.
"I don't know~" Slush reached over and prodded her upper arm, shaking his head and mock sighing, "I don't feel any muscles lovely."
"Have muscles!" The toddler flexed her arm like they did on the teevee, glancing at her mother to make sure he saw just how strong she was, her tail absently flicking behind her. "See~."
Slush's eyes went wide and he staggered back somewhat, "Oh wow! Have you been lifting weights?"
Tourmaline beamed and shook her head as she relaxed her arm once more.
"I guess I have no choice," Grinning to himself, Slush scooped up the shoebox and handed it to the toddler, who immediately took it carefully in her arms, still grinning in a proud manner. "Now don't drop it."
"Won't drop." She confirmed as her mother left the room and headed upstairs to the room his husband and he shared, setting their daughter on the bed and holding his hands out for the box. Tourmaline set it on the bed and pushed it towards him.
Pushing imaginary sleeves up as if preparing for something insanely hard, Slush glanced over to Tourma with a serious look on his face, "Is my assistant ready?"
"Ready!" She chortled, tail whapping at the bed every so often.
The first thing he pulled out of the shoebox was a cream colored envelope addressed to Isto, he handed it to the younger SM and motioned up towards the pillows. "Can you put that in the middle of the pillows?"
"Perfect!" Slush exclaimed, grinning before reaching into the shoebox once more and pulling out three fresh picked flowers and a beautiful rose. He handed the first three to Tourma to place around the letter.Once that was done, he set his in the middle of the arrangement, in front of the envelope."How does it look so far?" He mused, reaching out and ruffling his daughter's hair.
"It's pretty."
"Great!" Slush grinned, running a hand through his hair to push it out of his face before diving back into the box, giving the contents a contemplative stare before finally pulling the next object. Much to Tourma's irritation, Slush swiftly tucked the cell phone behind the envelope himself. Standing up straight and noticing his daughter's half-glare, he simply chuckled and returned the lid to the box. "Mommy wants to have fun too. Do I still have an assistant for the rest of Daddy's surprise?"
The Skullmonkey thought and finally nodded, scampering over to hop into Slush's arms, earning a loud 'Oof' from her mother with the impact. Shifting her back to his hip, he handed her the box once more and headed out of the room, shutting the door quietly behind him.

Isto had made it home from work early today. ...Or, technically he hadn't, but at the same time he had. He was tired of getting home just in time to put everyone to bed. It was worth a few literally longer days to have more family time. Except...he couldn't find anyone.
After a near fruitless search of the house, he retreated to his room to catch up on an hour or so of sleep while the family was wherever they were. However, the display quickly caught his eye and any and all thoughts of rest were tossed frmo his mind. Quirking a brow, he simply eyed the arrangement for a moment before daring to disturb it, and then only picked up the envelope, opening it and pulling out the letter, which he began to read.
There were tears in his eyes by the time he finished, and his smile was so bright that it hurt. Sighing lightly, he carefully folded the letter back up and replaced it in the envelope, setting it on the pillow beside the flower arrangement. That was Doom for you.
And suddenly he felt a pang of guilt. He hadn't forgotten their anniversary, of course... Or, he had to the same extent as Slush. He knew about when it was, but the exact date eluded him..and here Slush had caught him unawares without and visable gift in return. There was one thing, but...
Snapping from his thoughts, he cheered himself by returning his thoughts to the letter and it's message, specifically the bit at the bottom. Find me where it all began... That was clear enough. But Check your voicemail..since when had he had a cell phone?
Reaching for the phone on the pillow, he tinkered with it for a bit before managing to work out the voice mail--stupid electronics--but found himself stuck when it asked for a password. Password? Slush hadn't left him with a password. A few random thoughts on what it could be, and then it clicked and he typed in the day's date, beaming when it allowed him through. Their anniversary date. That was Slush for you.

Slush had taken upon himself to get his assistant to also record over the voicemail's automated messege, and soon her voice rang over the phone, loud and obviously relishing the fact that she was the one talking into it and not her Mommy.
"Daddy's not picking up his telee-fone right now~..." She trailed off and another voice was audible in the background.
"Tell them to leave a messege lovely."
"So you have to leave a messege!" Her voice was demanding, but immediately changed back to that of a sweet toddler, probably prompted by a cue from Slush, "Have a happy day~! Bye bye!"
There was a rough click as the messege ended, the return of an automated voice asked for the password again, and upon it being entered in, spoke out in it's computer-esque voice, "You have one, unheard messege. New messege."
The voice that came on a couple of seconds later was that of a very excited Slush, "Hey Isto! Happy anniversary, don't worry about a gift for me since I randomly picked a date out of thin air." There was a pause, and then he continued, "Anyways, you might want to call our daughters Grandma."
There was an angry comment yelled across the room, but Slush pretended he didn't hear it, "She'll have the next bit you need. Her number's programed into the phone already. I love you and make sure you dress warmly."
There was a click and then the automated voice came back, "End of messeges. To erase this messege, press 7. To save this messege, press 9. To exit voice mail, press star."

Chuckling softly with the end to his message, Isto followed the phone's instruction and exited back to the main screen, rising to his feet while he attempted to find X's number. He'd never been very good with things like this. While his metal hand fumbled with the cell phone, he headed to the closet in search of his coat, finally managing to reach the number. He called and listened through the rings, meanwhile continuing to dig through the closet for his jacket. It had to be here somewhere...

The jacket was in fact not in the closet, and had been taken to somewhere not there.
The soon was a click as the call was answered, X's voice coming through loud and lazily, "Good, you're home." There was a slight pause before she continued, "I'd like to say first that I was tricked into doing this when I could very well be having sex."

A muttered echo in the background signified Jack's agreement with his fiancee's irritation.
"You'll get over it," Isto replied, grinning. Giving up on the closet, he returned to the main bedroom, hunting around in case he'd let the jacket on the floor somewhere. "It's my anniversary, not yours. And once this is over, you and Jack can have allt he free time you want. Now, what're you supposed to be telling me? And have you seen my jacket?" he added as an afterthought, peering under the bed for said clothing.

X lazily reached over and scritched behind Jack's ears before sitting down next to him, wherever they were. "Well I'd try the hall closet if I were you first, because I don't know if he actually hid it or Nathan hung it up after you left it laying somewhere."

"Hmm..." Following her advice, he abandoned the bedroom and headed out in search of his jacket, repeating his question while he walked. "And why was I told to call you?"
