Naruto sighed happily in relief that Rikku understood what he meant and where he was coming from and he blushes hotly over her words. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close, leaning down and kissing her softly as he purrs. "I'll come to your workshop whenever you want me to Rikku, I promise..." he whispers.
Azure giggles and licks at Peruns ears, "Why don't we? I am sure he would be happy to see you and maybe you can meet Gurgi!" she mews out.
Keme smiles a real smile this time, letting her arms go, but he can't help but feel his heart beat a little faster over her words. But he figured he just meant as a best friend, he could understand that a best friend would be incredibly important to someone. "Alright Relm, I promise not to say anything belittling about myself anymore." he says softly, his tail swaying about.

Her eyes close into the kiss and she begins to purr earnestly. A purr which shudders when she does at Naruto's words. "Tonight." She gasps out breathlessly, her eyes slightly glazed. He promised. Naruto had never failed a promise to her. "Unless you've plans..." She left it open as to whether she was talking about previous engagements for the night or specific intentions for their first time. Rikku did not want him to feel he had to come just because he'd promised... she wanted Naruto to want to come.
Perun grinned. [Why not?] He stretched languidly as he rose. [Would you like the honor of leading the way?] It was Azure's house after all, despite the casual way Perun treated it. Of course he was a cat, & a roaming one at that. Still he understood how some were about their homes. To an extent.
Relm smiled. "So long as we understand each other." Mock punching Keme's arm She tilted her face up at him. "Time to face the music. Let's meet your family." Ginny barked her agreement, trotting over to the door & knocking. Her brown eyes glancing back just once to see that Relm's brush was still on the ground. Odd, that.

Naruto smiled loving down at Rikku, even though his heart was racing, "I don't have anything planned, I'll come over tonight..." he says softly, kissing her nose.
Keme pretends to be hurt by her punch, rubbing his arm. But he smiles and chuckles, nodding his head. He looks down to the ground and notices she hasn't picked up her brush yet. He pads over to it and picks it up, going back over to Relm and handing it to her, "Here you go, don't want to lose this!"
The door opened a few moments after Ginny knocked and what was revealed was actually a fully grown male Jivvin, going by the name of Kano. His wings on his back were folded down and were white as snow. "Ginny, you're home!! And is that....Keme!!!" he yips and bounds out of the house, almost tackling the green male down.
Azure hops up and mews, nodding her head, "Come on, the barn isn't that far away really!" she says and bounds out of the laundry room to head back outside so they could find Tsuki and Gurgi.
Mitsu stood up and followed after the excited black colored female, and she was curious over what Gurgi was up to.

Rikku shivered pleasantly. "I look forward to it." she fairly breathed, smiling giddily at his kiss to her nose.
Then she made a little mew of disappointment. "I suppose we should return to the others..."
Relm stared in mute horror mixed with honest thankfulness as she accepted her brush from Keme. My Brush! I dropped it? But when? I've never dropped or misplaced brush in my life! When words did find her they were hushed with disbelief. "Thank you!"
"Hi Kano." Ginny sneaked in before te Jivvin bounded past her & she grinned while shaking her head. Timex's brow rose, wondering if Theron's bond's wings would also be white when they grew.
He follows, trotting behind with an easy air, noting how the cait is joining them.

Naruto looks a little disappointed their alone time would have to be cut short, but he wanted to go home and see Keme, wanting an explanation for his very long absence from home. "Yea, but don't worry, it will be just you and me tonight when I come to see your workshop!" he says softly.
Keme braces himself when Kano throws himself on him and he hugs the Jivvin as best he can, rubbing at his back and wings gently, "Hey Kano, sorry I haven't been home....but I'm here now..." he says softly, letting the Jivvin down so they can all go into the house together. But he pauses and turns to Timex, knowing that Moochi had a rule that horse like pets or the really large ones couldn't really come into the house. He felt bad, not wanting to turn hte horse away, "Timex...if you want, probably in the back, you can hang around Dimitrus if you like, I'm sure he would enjoy the company!" he says.
Azure trots her way out the open door, looking up at the gathered crowd, but she makes her way toward the barn, tail high in the air.
Mitsu quietly follows after Azure, ignoring the others outside for now.

The blonde Al Bhed wrapped her arms around his, her thigh brushing against Naruto as she leaned to whisper in his ear. "I'm not worried... not with you." She shivered with anticipation at the promise of tonight & her smile showed her pleasure. "We're sure to be plenty sleepy by tonight, 'cause I'm not at all sleepy now."
Relm glances at the kitsu briefly, as if looking for guidance on what to do or say. It is so quick that Ginny almost doubts its occurrence, so unlike the artist as it was. Timex nods his great head as he is addressed, butting the audio male companionably before nipping lightly at Relm's light brown curls. [It will be nice to see other equines for a change, even if they do not hail from the Kingdom of Shan.] He told her as he casually trotted around back. [Besides, he carried Rikku & Naruto so he must have some degree of tolerance.] At that Relm snickered behind her brush. She only fell into step behind Keme & Kano at the red-headed witch's insistence in the form of a head-butt to her mid back. Ginny grinned to herself as the artist complied.
Perun was very tempted to comment on the foolishness of two-leggers, or something equally as humorous, but instead he chose to keep his uncaring air for the time being. Besides, Rikku was off with the orange one, & they would be the fun ones to torment. Maybe later. The hunter strode grandly after Azure. Let them all know for now that the felines did not care.

Keme smiled at them all and made his way into the house, "Hello?! I'm home!" he calls out once he steps through the entrance. He was suddenly greeted with all kinds of calls coming his way and he can only brace himself at what seems to be a stampede of pets making their way towards him.
Naruto blushed brightly at her words and he visibly gulped. Taking Rikku's hand he leads her back towards the house, pulling at his collar nervously.
Dimitrus looks up and perks his ears as he hears loud noises from inside the house, but he decides to invisitigate another time. But perks his ears and flaps his wings as he ears another set of hoofs coming his way, ones he had never heard before. His body goes tense as he waits to see who is coming.
Azure slide her way through the cracked doors of the barn and she pads to the middle of the structure and mews loudly, calling for Tsuki and Gurgi to come out and see her.

Relm almost ducked back, overwhelmed at the stampede coming. Her family was large... but she usually avoided large gatherings outside of breakfast or special events. But seeing Keme brace himself she instantly stepped forward to lend him her support -what little it might be.
Ginny however was overwhelmed & tried to hide herself behind the two audios & the winged jivvin but in such a way that she could still see. Sure, she might now many if not all of them... but it had been a while & she was no longer used to it. Trel's house was relatively quiet ... aside from the occasional explosion that sometimes permeated through the nearly soundproof walls of the magical room whenever Fred & George had an experiment that went seriously arry.
Smiling, Rikku kissed the shinobi's blushing cheek. She liked having gotten such a response from him, & though she suspected why she did not let herself dwell on it. Instead she preferred the simple thought of peaceful sleep. If she was going to stick around & meet Naruto's family, there was no sense in her thinking about that! She blushed slightly as she pushed such thoughts away. No, it would not do at all to be thinking such things all day... it would be a long enough day as it was.
The ninau whinnied a greeting as he neared, even before he could see anyone else. [The one called Keme suggested I wait for Relm back this way. I am called Timex, and am a Ninau from the Kingdom of Shan.]
Perun sniffed the air as he entered the barn behind Azure. It was clear Tsuki was often here, if he remembered the male's scent right from their first meeting. Abjectly he wondered what the other hunter's reaction would be to his closeness to Tsuki's sister. Not that it mattered one whit, Perun was merely curious. He padded silently into the barn, stopping a ways behind Azure & sitting confidently down. His tail flicked once before he wrapped it confidently against his body. he would neither hide nor advertise his presence, but simply watched & waited.

Keme was, thankfully, not taken down by a whole body full of pets, but soon had his arms full of two bright red winged Kitsus, Gypsy and Helen, both scolding him at him for being gone so long and cooing over the fact he was finally home. He looks around to see most of Moochi's pets were home, her Lil' Wings hovering and zipping around his head, her Sunchildren pawing at his legs, her gaggle of Niekens and Blathanna trying to push to the front of the crowd, her Ayens in the back probably taking up most of the room in the hallway, the other Kitsu's of the family that couldn't fly peeking their heads out of the living room, trying ot see him and many more. Feeling tears finally come to his eyes on that fact he was finally home and he was actually missed. But instead he throws his head back and laughs happily, hugging the two kitsus in his arms tightly.
Naruto led her back towards the house, trying to fight his blush back and make his thoughts go to more innocent things. Sure Rikku was his girl, but he was pretty sure she wouldn't appreciate him thinking those things about her. He steps before the door of the house and peeks in, laughing at the sheer amount of pets trying to make their way to Keme.
Dimitrus gets a good look at the equine that came toward him and he flares his nostrils, taking in his scent to make sure he wasn't really a threat. Not sensing any ill will coming from him, he relax's and bows his head, tucking his wings back to his sides, "It's nice to meet you Timex and a pleasure you could join me. I come from the land they call East of Eden." he says as introductions.
Mitsu slinked her way inside and mewed out as well, going to sit beside Azure.
A loud meow can be heard coming from the rafters of the barn and a white form slinks his way down a ladder. Tsuki hops to the floor and shakes some hay from his fur, yawning and stretching lazily. "Azure? You're back home already?" he asks, nodding his head to Perun, not making any guesses on why the male was here.
Azure mews and bounds her way to the white cat, nuzzling against him in greeting, her tail swinging about.
Another meow can be heard and Gurgi sticks his head out from a hay pile, spying the group. He steps out, shaking some hay off him, having decided not to wear his headphones today, but kept his pawwraps on instead. He looks cautiously at the new male, but pads over to Mitsu to nuzzle her in greeting.

There where types of pets Relm had never seen before but she smiled, keeping an illusion of calm. It was good to hear Keme laugh, so that part of her smile was neither forced nor faked. Lightly she touched his elbow with her finger seeing Keme's moistened eyes before letting her hand fall to her side as she hears Naruto's laughter from behind.
Ginny pulled herself together & pulled out her wand. She could just see an open space in the living room behind the other kitsu. She was feeling far too cramped as it was, especially now with Naruto & Rikku blocking the door behind her. Thank goodness Remus decided I did not have to wait to be of age since there's no Ministry here... The witch thought to herself as she apparated behind her fellow kitsu.
Rikku's eyes widened as she peeked around Naruto's shoulder. "Fayths... maybe I should disappear for a while without telling anyone where I am... What a reception!"
The ninau tossed his incredibly long mane, the silver-blue of the crescent moon on his horn glinting in the morning light. [It's a pleasure to meet you.] Timex bowed his head formally, and if Trelweny had been there to see it she would have sucked in her breath at the similarity of the gesture to her mate's despite the difference in species.[I presume your human's house is too small for your liking as well?]
Perun nodded politely at Tsuki, then tilted his head while arching a brow at the brown hued cait. Accustomed to Locke's tendency to be vocal when around the house, the hunter was faintly amused at this cait male's silence. Not that Perun did not like the Treasure Hunter's banter, but the silence... it was refreshing.

Keme let go for the two winged Kitsus and petted any other pets that were in reach. But once he starts to feel overcrowded, he starts shooing everyone away, except for the Lil' Wings that took residence on his shoulder. Sighing a bit, he grabs Relms hand without thinking about and leads her to the living room. Once in there he sees Moochi's Kitsus gathered around Ginny, probably asking her how life was living with Trel. He spots a minty green baby wriggling about on the couch and he smiles, letting Relm go and going over to her, scooping her up in his arms, "Faye, look at you, you're getting so big now!!!" he cooes at the 3 winged baby who cooes back, trying to wrap her wings around him.
Naruto chuckles and shakes his head, leading Rikku inside once there was room to move about, some of the smaller pets peering up at the two curiously, "Nah, we're fine!!" he assures her.
Dimitrus flapped his wings about, shooing away a few flies as he nods his head, "Yes, not too much room in there. I don't mind, more room out here for me and my....well, you could call them my brothers..." he says.
Tsuki nuzzles Azure back, but then pads over to Perun. He circles the male, sniffing at him and quickly notices that Azure scent seems to be all over him and he pads over to Azure to check her scent out as well. Just as he thought, the males scent was all over the blackfurred female. He seems to give Perun the eye, as if sizing him up.
Azure tilts her head in confusion over Tsuki's odd behavior. She had never seen him act like this before and it unnerved her a little bit.

The artist-mage disregards the foolish flutter in her chest, feeling her hand in Keme's with an odd detachment. He's just being kind not letting me get lost here. She grins absently, watching Keme with the seraphim kitsu kit. "Aw... almost makes me wish we'd brought Talagand along. such pretty things."
Surrounded by the kitsu Ginny had to smile. It was nice, getting some attention. Her gaze darted to Relm -not missing the short holding of hands nor the artist's concealed reaction to the act. Grinning to herself, the redheaded kitsu answered the questions shot at her with dazzling efficiency.
Seeing his mother, Dreav darts out of Rikku's hair where he had been hiding. Humming, he beats his wings rapidly -telling her about all the shinies his audio lets him have & how it would be perfect if only the orange one would not take up so much of her time.
Rikku laughs watching her Lil'Wing thief & letting herself be dragged about by Naruto. "Yeah, I don't think I'd like all this for myself! Exciting enough as it is!"
[Brothers?] Timex's large blue eyes gain a sad look. [I've not seen another of my kind since I was a foal... the day I found Trelweny & her family. They keep away the loneliness... but it would be nice to have kin of my own kind to relate to.]
The hunter huffed, unperturbed by Tsuki's investigation. He meets the other male's eye unfalteringly, having nothing to be ashamed of -nothing to hide. Perun seems to know better than to comment on the other hunter's tendency to sleep. With blue eyes unflinching, Perun waits a moment before finally meowing a single [Well?]

Keme chuckles at the little wriggling bundle of fur in his arms, turning around to show her off to Relm, "One of the few babies of the family, my little girlfriend!! he says jokingly, cooing down at the baby Seraph again as she tries to paw at his nose, her own murrings and barkings making it sound like she is laughing with him.
Naruto kept a sharp eye on Dreav, but he didn't think the little nuisance would attack, not with his mother in the same house! He was glad Sophie liked him alot!
Sophie hovers off Keme's shoulder and circles her son, listening to his story. She scolds him lightly over being so mean to Naruto, the orange one wasn't bad at all! Heck, he and Erebus watched over her nest when she had to feed!
Dimitrus shook his mane and flicked his tail, "Well, brothers is the closest I can describe them being related to me. Moochi, our human, would be considered our mother, because we all came from a piece of her very soul." he explains.
"What are you intentions with my sister?" he asks in a steely voice, his laziness gone and the serious brother coming out. Oh he had no intentions on keeping the two seperate, Azure was always one to leave at the drop of a dime, but he wanted to hear from the gray male himself.
Azure mews in confusion and is about to jump between the two males, but is stopped by Mitsu and Gurgi, the two caits understanding why Tsuki was questioning him.

Relm did not bat an eye at the 'girlfriend' comment. She knew Keme well enough to catch the joke. One, he would never go after one so young; two, unlike AearHwesta she was certain the hummingbird male was only interested in his own species. Her eyes soften & she holds out a finger gently, as if asking permission to knuckle the space between the kit's ears lightly. Their own Seraphim kit seemed to like that in particular. "You're beautiful, Faye. I'd like to paint you, someday." Someday when I feel a little more confidant again that I won't hurt those I care for. But she did not voice her fears and fought back her doubts. After all - she had made an agreement with Keme & she planned to keep it.
Ginny kept her eye on everything obliquely while Rikku laughed in the face of the chaos all around. Both female's eyes had a tendency to shift in curiosity towards Faye & the two audios with her. It was a mystery they could not quite seem to piece together... there did not seem to be enough pieces. Ginny for her part wondered if she was trying to read too much into it, while Rikku found herself pondering over how she had found the two that morning. She had not thought Relm the type to invite anyone home.
The little male chittered back, only slightly apologetic. Okay, so the orange one had cared well for him & his nest-mates when they were eggs. Fine. Dreav would cut the orange one some slack. But that did not mean he had to like him. He still usurped the attention of the one with the yellow hair & braids that took care of him & had many shiny things. See how they were so together now? Always like that when together!
The ninau sighed. [I do not understand bout being from a piece of your human's soul. I know I am much like my human's dead mate in manner, appearance, & even name.] He shook his mane, tapping his gray banded foreleg upon the ground. [As for siblings without blood-kin, my family is kin for me. But I think it would be nice to have ninau kin, as Relm has of her kind in Aiden, Rikku, & Yahto. Even in the un-growing Toral.]
He raises a brow archly. [My intentions? I will keep her safe & protected. Show her to hunt if she wishes; See that she explores.] Although he gave every appearance of looking bored & disdainful, Perun shot Azure a tender yet playfully reassuring glance that all was well before returning to his indifferent mannerism. [And love on her, as she'll permit me.]

Keme held Faye out to Relm to see if she wanted to hold the Seraph baby, "It's ok, she's likes letting others hold her! Just be sure to really careful..." he says, eyeing a ever watching Gypsy.
Sophie smiles and hums her approval. She then starts smoothing out the feathers on the top of his head with the side of her pointed back.
"Well, what I mean is, a piece of her soul was taken out of her and given life, me being one of them. I would rather you not meet Guerra, he quite....tempermental to say the least." he snorts.
Those answers seemed to satisfy Tsuki, even though he still seemed to be giving Perun the third degree. Then suddenly he yawns lazily and flops down on the spot, much like a much loved Go'Sath.
Azure can't help but blush brightly at Peruns declaration and she barrels past Mitsu and Gurgi, hopping over Tsuki easily, "Perun!!" she mews and she nuzzles her head under his neck loving, purring as she almost sits underneath his chin, a smile on her face, "I love you as well..."
