Joker stood up and went into the kitchen to let them have their moment.
Kyoshi shook his head at her. "You are too wise for your age." He patted her head gently. "How about this, I'll be sad when it counts and when I'm at home but while I'm here, I have a clear head to be able to help your brothers get Dusk back. I can't have anything distract me." That and because he didn't want to look into that sadness again. He was wrong to get attached and look how it was biting him in the a**.

James watched as his friend spoke to the older male, his black hair covering his eyes. Watching Joker walk into the kitchen, the ten year old followed, sneaking quietly so that neither Kyoshi or Ali noticed. Going behind Joker into the closed kitchen, James made himself a glass of milk.
Ali shook her head. "You won't though..." She placed her hand again on his heart. Closing her eyes, a small glow emitted, and Kyoshi was shown the world through her innocent eyes. In her eyes, Dusk and him were together, just not physically. In her eyes, Kyoshi was showing that he was sad, that way, when faced by Dusk, he wouldn't break. In her eyes, Kyoshi was the man that he needed to be.
She removed her hand and placed it by her side, watching and waiting.

Kyoshi looked down. Boy, this kid was good. No. She was amazing. That numb part of him that wanted to be in control disappeared and that part that wanted to be sad filled that void. He felt it strong and it hurt him. He held his face with his hand not looking at Ali. "I give. You win. I'll....I'll be sad." He whispered and a single tear fell.
Joker didn't have to look at the other kid who entered the kitchen. "Shouldn't you be in bed too?" He asked.

James shook his head, sitting at the table like what the rules said. "Not without Miss Ali." He was stubborn, and as long as Ali was awake, he would be too.
Kyoshi was much larger than Ali so all she could do was hug his arm. "There. It'll be ok, Mister Kyoshi." She smiled at him, the innocence of a child going to him. "You will be ok, Miss Dusk will be ok, and everything will be ok. It will just take time." This little eight year old girl was so much like a certain hybrid...not acting her age, knowing much more than people would think. In fact, this was how that hybrid used to be.
Ali smiled at Kyoshi, her smile of innocence matching that of Dusk's exactly.

Kyoshi let more tears fall down his face. He wasn't sobbing like a girl he was just letting out the tears of sadness in knowing that there couldn't be anything between Dusk and him again.
Joker looked at the boy. "You have any cookies to go with that milk?" Joker had this sudden desire for something sweet.

Hearing his thoughts, Ali had to wonder. What was Miss Dusk thinking? She held Kyoshi tighter, feeling sad again. Miss Dusk and Mister Kyoshi should be together... Ali thought.
James got up and tried to reach one of the cabinets but was too short. "There." He pointed. Joker didn't scare him, nor creep him out, so James didn't mind sharing his cookies with him.

Joker went over and reached up into the cabinet. He took out chocolate chip cookie and handed them over to James. Joker then went to get a glass and milk, sitting them down in front of James glass. He sat down and poured himself milk. "So. Let's eat."
Kyoshi shook abit with tremors of his tears and they slowly went away. He felt better now that he was letting it go. Maybe there was hope for him to live on. "Thank you." He whispered to Ali.

Nodding happily, James chomped on some cookies, loving this. Chocolate Chip were his favorite, and adding them with milk and a new person made them even better.
Ali smiled. "Yay, Mister Kyoshi ok for now?" She hoped so. When Miss Dusk came back, he should be happy. Well....if Miss Dusk came back.

He smiled at the girl. "Yes. I feel loads better. Thank you for leading me." He patted her head. "Go on to sleep and don't worry about me. I'll try not to ignore my feelings from now on." She helped him. Now it was his turn to do the rest.
Joker had ate a few and looked happy like a child. "This is my favorite cookie." He had to say.

Ali nodded, happy again. Walking to her room, she looked in and James wasn't there. "James?" Sounding sad, Ali called out for him again.
The boy's ears perked and he immediatly went to her. "Over here."
"Why weren't you in bed?" The little eight year old was acting like a mother.
"Because you weren't there," Was the simple reply. Ali and James smiled as she gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Bed now?"
"Yeah, bed now." And they went back to bed.

Joker smiled at the little ones and cleaned up. He put the cookies back and went to the couch where Kyoshi was sitting. Concern flared through his eyes. "Are you going to be alright?" He asked. "Yeah. Just....give me a second." He wipped his face and then lit a cig. He shouldn't because of the kids but he needed something to calm his nerves. It did.

A handful of puppies ran at Mist tackling him. They all almost to be full grown wolves. Catherine emerged human chuckling, "Meet my pack... the pack that took me in, they all are full plain wolves though," she smiled.

"Eek! Come on, hey now!" Mist was laughing as the puppies began licking his face. "Come on, haha, stop it, haha, that tickles! Hey!" Eventually he got his breath as they finally got off of him. Mist smiled and pat the top of a few puppies heads. "That was kind of them...these puppies are adorable..."
(I;ve been using that word a LOT today...))
Ziggy walked in, not questioning Kyoshi's state. "I take it my sister and her little boyfriend are in bed..." His voice was louder than before as he looked in the direction of the room. Giggling was heard and then a small, "Good night, Brother!" He rolled his eyes as he sat on the couch across from Joker and Kyoshi.

Kyoshi just smoked. Joker looked at Ziggy. "Yes. They were little angels. No trouble at all." He said changing the channel again. Kyoshi sat up straighter. "So.......What's the plan now?" He asked.

Catherine smiled, "Thanks, thought you would have liked to meet the family," an older white wolf walked out slightly limping, "This is Maro... he is my pa... figuratively that is," she smiled and Maro started barking orders at the pups.
