JessieRabbit88 (12:31:15 AM): Ara had been out doing her yoga on the ground of the university. She was watching Elijah just over the next hill playing with grass or something. He was so interested in everything. She smiled as she moved and closed her eyes. She smiled and when she opened them to move to the next pose he was gone. "E...Elijah?" she said as she stood and walked over to where he had been. It smelled of others. "Where are you Elijah!" She said as she called out for him and then ran around trying to find him. He wasn't anyplace! She ran to the class room that Morph was practicing in, tears from her face as she burst through the door. "M-mmorph! I can’t find Elijah! He was there and now he’s not! I d-don't know where he’s at!" she said with as gasping sob as she clung to him and cried.

out of ideas 42 (12:45:46 AM): Morph looked down from the block he was practicing a tap routine on as Ara burst through the door, tears in her eyes. Startled, he jumped down from the block, his feet making clicking noises on the dance floor as he dashed over to her. "What? You're sure? No one else saw him?" Immediately his mind reeled off all the people he might enlist to help, or who might have seen him; any of the teachers, Mirelle, his parents, one of the Anbu maybe... the lady owner of the Casino, if Elijah had wandered that far. He could be anywhere! it didn't seem like Elijah to just disappear, but... "We'll find him. I promise." Morph looked down into Ara's mildly bloodshot eyes, and then pulled her into a hug, trying to fend of his own thoughts of worry.

JessieRabbit88 (12:56:07 AM): Ara nodded and sniffled. "I asked anyone I saw. And i searched the trees around where we were. I smelled someone or a few others with him but i lost it. I don't know where they could have taken him!" She said as she took his hand and pulled him off towards help. they asked around, they checked, they moved and traveled for days, then weeks. They didn't stop moving but they never got close enough to really find out where he had actually gone. Ara cried so much, she hurt so much. She didn't know what she was supposed to do with out her first son. They took a break one night and she felt...off. She had a small pain in her stomach. She passed it off as just that she hadn't eaten enough in the last few days. But it started to get worse now that she was resting. "Morph i don't feel well..." she said as she closed her eyes and tried to check her bag for something to snack on.

out of ideas 42 (1:06:53 AM): Morph frowned, the wrinkle on his brow already rather worn in from the past weeks of fruitless searching. "What's up?" He tom asked, moving over to put an arm around her. He felt... old, worn down. he had promised himself that he wouldn't let this happen to any of his children and now... Elijah had vanished into thin air. Hugging Ara gently, he kissed her forehead, sighing softly. She was getting along, but she looked pale. She shouldn't have gone through all this stress, not with the kits on the way, but she'd have been even more distressed if she hadn't come. Morph didn't even bring it up because he knew Ara wouldn't hear any of it. He loved her all the more for it, but it still worried him.

JessieRabbit88 (1:29:02 AM): Ara winced at another sharp twinge of pain. "It hurts...Morph it hurts and it’s only getting worse." she said as she clung to him and groaned. "I think we need help i really don't feel well." she said as she got even paler. She was sweating and curled over on herself in pain. She moaned and wrapped her arms around her middle. "Please...Thrud and Mir are close by...get help!" she said as she fell to the ground and threw up the little snack and water she had had not long ago. She curled in a ball and cried out in pain.

out of ideas 42 (1:46:17 AM): Morph started as Ara threw up, kneeling down beside her. It wasn't the first time he'd heard her throw up, what with morning sickness and all, but seeing it in front of him was a bit different. This was different. "I'll get them." He squeezed her shoulder reassuringly. "I'll be right back." Getting up, he looked around to orient himself before dashing of to Mir and Thrud's place, weaving through trees till he arrived out of breath at their door. He pounded on it, calling to them both, paring that one or the other was home at that moment. "Mir? Thrud? Anyone home?"

JessieRabbit88 (1:50:42 AM): Ara heard him go off and checked her self...blood. She felt more tears fill her eyes. It was the kits. She was loosing them! She screamed and slammed her fist to the ground. "NO!" She said as she cried harder and felt more obvious signs that she was losing the kittens.

Thrud was cooking, it was almost dark out so she was just talking with Mir and making them food, half naked like always, when she heard the knocking at her door. Morph? She turned and looked to Mir and nodded at her to get it while she threw some clothes on. Morph had already seen her naked once before and she had frightened the poor male, she didn't really want to do that again even though he sounded frightened enough to not care. She walked into the little bedroom to the house she lived in and threw her camo pants over her panties and threw a shirt on and tied it, no bra for now. She walked back out to the dining slash living area that was also more or less the kitchen to find out what was going on.

out of ideas 42 (2:12:52 AM): Mir flicked an ear at the door, looking up from the book she was reading. Rarely had she heard Morph that upset. Wordlessly she glanced at Thrud, who motioned at her to get the door while she threw on some clothes. Nodding, the small cat put the book aside and padded quickly to the door. Pulling it open, Morph practically fell in on top of her. "It's Ara..." Morph panted, leaning over to catch his breath. "She's... sick, I don't know what's happening." Mir looked around at Thrud; worry flattening her ears a little. Deciding that time was of the essence, she dashed past Thrud into the bedroom to get her bag of medicines. Morph looked up at Thrud, weary and scared. "Last I saw, she threw up and was really pale." By this time, Mir was back from the bedroom. "Lead the way dear." She said shortly, glancing up at Thrud and nodding quietly towards the door, giving the Maine Coon a look full of concern.

JessieRabbit88 (2:20:09 AM): Thrud could track anything. She nodded and grabbed a blanket and followed Morphs worried scent through the forest towards Ara. "Mir I’m worried about her. This isn't going to be good. I can tell already." she said as she hurried and came around a tree. She smelled blood and looked at Mir seeing Ara just ahead.

Ara was crying and weak. There were three small remains of kittens just beside her. She couldn't look at them. She couldn't do anything but cry as she was covered in blood, her blood...the blood of her kittens! She had lost everything now! Elijah, her kittens, her family! Everything! She only had Morph now, they weren’t a family anymore! She sobbed but that only used more energy up as she grew weaker and more pale.

out of ideas 42 (2:36:01 AM): Mir followed Thrud with Morph tagging behind, lagging due to general exhaustion, but pushing himself to get back to Ara. Mir could smell the blood and... something else. This was bad. Putting on a turn of speed, she moved around Thrud, coming to a halt at Ara's pale and bloody form a few steps in front of her partner. "Oh no..." She murmured her eyes wide. Kneeling down, she turned and gestured for Thrud to cover the discharge with the blanket, knowing exactly what they were. Morph would know eventually, but the young pair had been though enough already and he needed to be strong for Ara right now. Mir pulled out a pre-prepared wad of herbs that had been soaking in a vial. "Ara? Honey? You need to chew this, dear. Come on." She coaxed, holding it close to the Toyger female’s mouth.

JessieRabbit88 (2:43:20 AM): Thrud put the blanket over what was next to the poor female. No this couldn't be happening. Not to this poor wonderful family that was only just starting! She sat next to Mir and looked at her. "You can help her right?" She asked as she motioned Morph up next to Ara's head. "Put her head in your lap. You don't need to see what happens while Mir fixes her. Just keep her calm and let her know your there for her." she said as she watched Ara eat the herbs.

Ara sobbed but nodded. He nose told her what was being offered and she ate it. She groaned and looked at Morph when he got close. "I'm so sorry! So v-very s-sorry!" She said between sobs as she reached out for his hand and cried harder as she slowly felt the herbs starting to calm her cries and sobs.

out of ideas 42 (3:03:50 AM): Morph arrived still breathing hard, and was hit with all the blood on the air. Breathing out sharply, he looked down at Ara, trying to shut out everything but her. Thank the gods she was still alive. Still trying hard not think of where all the blood came from, he moved around to sit by Ara's head, easing her into his lap and holding on to her and as she sobbed.

Mir nodded quietly, intent on Ara as she chewed. She checked Ara's pulse, which was slowing, despite the continued sobs. Looking up at Morph, who was still gazing down at Ara's face, she moved quietly down to where the blankets were, silently asking Thrud to be a barrier between her and Morph.

"Shh, its okay, I'm here..." Morph murmured to Ara, concentrating only on her face. "I'm here." Bleak thoughts filled Morph's head, spiraling around and around, but he did his best to keep it off his face. Trying to see a way forward from this, all Morph could think of was gutting the b*****d who took Elijah and started all this, of seeing as much pain as they'd felt in the past month put on the kidnapper. He squeezed Ara's hand, his breathing a little shallow.

Mir sighed. There really wasn't much to be done other than clean Ara up and help her get her strength back. She rifled around in her back, pulling out a few salves and another painkiller.

JessieRabbit88 (3:13:25 AM): Ara winced at the small amount of pain while Mir checked her. It was odd to have someone else touching her, no one but Morph had ever been there. She winced and tried to get away from the feeling but Thrud held her still. "Hush love its ok. Mirs helping you. It’s going to be fine." she said as she leaned across Ara's body to keep her arms and body still. she didn't want Ara to see the rest of what Mir had removed, the last bits of the life that had been growing inside of her. Thrud looked at Mir. "She going to be ok?" She asked.

Ara whimpered and looked at Morph. "I'm so...sorry..." she said as she passed out from weakness. She was fine but she was shaking with coldness at the loss of blood and her now weakened state.

out of ideas 42 (3:28:02 AM): Mir straightened up, having just placed the last bits under the blanket. Her fingers were covered in blood, discharge and the sanitary salve she had covered her fingers with before inspecting Ara. Wiping all of this off on a corner of the blanket. "Yeah, she'll be fine." She replied quietly, moving forward to lean a little on her partner for support. Poor kids... hell of a thing to go through.
Morph held on to Ara's hand, cradling her unconscious form. he rocked back and forth slightly with suppressed emotion, eyes tight. "I'll kill them..." he choked out. "I'll find them and kill them." He looked up at Thrud and at Mir behind her, seeing the corner of the blanket smeared in blood and fluids. Morph closed his eyes again, moaning in quiet agony as his mind unwillingly accepted what he had feared the moment he smelled blood. He squeezed his eyes tighter, tears leaking out of the corners as he leaned over and sobbed quietly, his body shaking with barely suppressed grief.

Mir watched wordlessly, unsure of what to say. She supposed there wasn't much one could say. She'd keep looking for Elijah, of course, and for the kidnappers. Mir got up and sat next to Thrud, leaning more against her, biting the inside of her lip a little.

JessieRabbit88 (3:36:30 AM): Thrud nodded to her and looked at Morph. "I'll carry her for you. Come on lets go back to the university. I'm sure she'll feel better waking up in her own bed after all this. Mir and i will look for Elijah. He’s like our grandson so it’s the least we can do. Please just keep her happy and safe. Anbu and Yuuki will probably be by in a day or so. Yuuki is going to cry over this..." she said softly as she looked around. The blanket she had brought to keep Ara warm was now covered in blood, that wasn't going to work now. "Morph give me your jacket please so we can take her home and not show off this blood to everyone." She said as she took the jacket. She wrapped it around Ara as best as she could and cover the blood and then slid her into her arms. "Come on lets go. Mir," She leaned over and kissed her. "Please, honor the children with proper rights." she said wanting Mir to burry them. Morph didn't need to see that and Thrud was very glad that Ara was out of it. "I'll meet you at their place." she said as she kissed her again and glanced at the blanket. She remembered her own kits and was so glad this hadn't been her. She didn’t know what she would do. For all her strength and meanness she knew she wouldn't ever survive something like this emotionally. She turned to Morph. "Come on then lets get her home and warm and in clean clothes." she said as she hurried off as carefully as she could with Ara in her arms towards home.

out of ideas 42 (3:52:19 AM): Morph moved mechanically, nodding and shrugging of his jacket it give to Thrud. He stood up and glanced at Mir. "Thank you." He murmured quietly. He wished that just once, he could save someone. While this was neither particularly accurate nor fair to himself, he felt fairly helpless at the moment. He was grateful for their help, but several voices in his head were crying out for blood, held down by the overwhelming depression he felt.

Mir nodded again, tucking in the corners of the sad, blood stained blanket. "I'll be there when I'm done." Standing up, she picked up the tiny bundle, looking around for a good place to lay them to rest. After that was done, Mir figured a measure of chemically induced sorrow drowning was in order after the ordeal Morph and Ara had been though. At least for tonight they should rest.

JessieRabbit88 (4:00:29 AM): Thrud walked into the bedroom to the couple’s dorm on the university property. She lay Ara down on the bed and looked at Morph. "Get a wet towel so we can clean her up some and some clean clothes. I'll get her out of these." She said as she began to take Ara out of her green skirt and half shirt. If Thrud didn't know Ara had lots of this same outfit she would feel bad because she knew green was the woman’s favorite color. She wouldn't ever be wearing this same one again though. She looked at her, the poor girl had been through so much in her life. Attacked by that badger, Elijah being taken and now this. Losing the lives of the kittens. Of their family. This was horrid and Thrud wanted to cry for her. But there was time for it later. She wouldn't cry in front of Morph, he was being so good right now. Ara was free to cry for how long she needed to and Thrud knew she would. She would hide for a long time, she knew how long it took her to come out of her self after the attack as it was. She looked up at Morph when he came back with the towel and began cleaning her legs. "I don't know where too want the bloody clothes to go but they should probably be gone when she wakes up. And get some warm blankets. She'll need to have her body heat brought up with how much blood she lost." Thrud said as she carefully cleaned Ara's legs, hands, stomach, back and arms. Any where there was blood she got it. Ara needed to feel as close to normal as she could get when she woke up.

JessieRabbit88 (1:09:52 AM): Thrud walked into the bedroom to the couple’s dorm on the university property. She lay Ara down on the bed and looked at Morph. "Get a wet towel so we can clean her up some and some clean clothes. I'll get her out of these." She said as she began to take Ara out of her green skirt and half shirt. If Thrud didn't know Ara had lots of this same outfit she would feel bad because she knew green was the woman’s favorite color. She wouldn't ever be wearing this same one again though. She looked at her, the poor girl had been through so much in her life. Attacked by that badger, Elijah being taken and now this. Losing the lives of the kittens. Of their family. This was horrid and Thrud wanted to cry for her. But there was time for it later. She wouldn't cry in front of Morph, he was being so good right now. Ara was free to cry for how long she needed to and Thrud knew she would. She would hide for a long time, she knew how long it took her to come out of her self after the attack as it was. She looked up at Morph when he came back with the towel and began cleaning her legs. "I don't know where too want the bloody clothes to go but they should probably be gone when she wakes up. And get some warm blankets. She'll need to have her body heat brought up with how much blood she lost." Thrud said as she carefully cleaned Ara's legs, hands, stomach, back and arms. Any where there was blood she got it. Ara needed to feel as close to normal as she could get when she woke up.

out of ideas 42 (1:34:06 AM): Morph got a towel from the bathroom, wetting it in the sink before handing it to Thrud. He still felt particularly empty inside, but doing something helped. He moved about, getting the things that Thrud asked for, grateful that he didn't have to think too much. "I'll take care of the clothes. Here are some warmer sheets." He said, holding them out to her.

Mir moved quietly though the forest, a destination in mind. Somewhere peaceful, in the shade, near the river. Somewhere their parents would have gone a lot, where they would never go. But maybe they'd find some peace, being close to where they would have grown up. Reaching a suitable spot, she placed the bundle gently under a tree and begun digging a hole big enough for the bundle but deep enough that it wouldn't be disturbed. After a while she climbed out of the hole and brought over the bundle. Lowering it down into the grave, she opened the blanket and gently rolled out the remains so that they would return to the earth easier. Then she climbed out and filled the dirt back in, placing the blanket on the patch of earth. Then she took some flint out of her bag along with some incense. Then she lit the blanket on fire, placing the incense on the burning cloth; cleansing and burning away the painful memories.

JessieRabbit88 (1:44:48 AM): Thrud cleaned her as best she could and then turned to him for the sheets. "Thank you. Let me know when you have clothes ready and i'll have you help me dress her." She said as she wrapped Ara in the blankets and frowned. "I'm sorry about whets happened to you both. This is such a horrible thing to have happened to you both." she said as she looked at him. "Eat something. You look tired and half starved."

Ara twitched a little in her sleep and her eyes fluttered open a little. "M-Morph?" She said with a groan as she touched her belly and tears filled her eyes. "Morph...it wasn't a dream was it?" she asked as she saw Thrud and shook her head. "It...they are gone aren’t they?" she said with a whimper as she closed her eyes again and cried softly. Thrud looked at Morph and stood. "here sit with her I’ll make you both food and get her some orange juice." she said as she started making food.

out of ideas 42 (1:57:51 AM): Morph nodded, moving over to sit by Ara's head. He caressed her tenderly and shifted so that her head was in his lap and he was leaning over her. "Yeah... they are..." He said in a hoarse whisper. Roughly he rubbed away a tear in his eye with the heel of his hand so that it didn't fall on Ara. Sighing, he gazed down at his love. "It's not your fault." He murmured, his voice slightly more normal, as he stroked Ara's cheek tenderly.

Prayers done, Mir returned to her and Thrud's house, showered, changed her shirt and picked out several bottle as well as some catnip and placed them into an empty shoulder bag. That done, she hurried over to the university, arriving at Morph an Ara's not to long later. Knocking on the door, she opened it and let herself in. "It's me." She said quietly. Placing the bag on a cushion, she moved over to Morph, sitting down on the bed next to him and putting an arm around his shoulders.

JessieRabbit88 (2:03:21 AM): Ara shook her head. "It is though! I killed...I killed our kittens! What have i done!" She turned and wrapped her arms around Morph and buried her face in his stomach as she sobbed. She didn't notice Mir getting there. she didn't know anything anymore. She had ruined their family! Elijah was gone and their children were...were. She clinged to him tighter and just cried.

Thrud looked at Mir as she came in and took the sake from her. She took a drink and then pulled out glasses. "Roll up some of those please i don’t know if they will need some too but i know i do." she said as she cooked some eggs and bacon. She made lots of toast and some glasses of orange juice for Ara. "Here try to get her to drink the orange juice. It will be good for her blood sugar with how much she lost."

out of ideas 42 (2:16:45 AM): Morph sighed, stroking her head as she cried. "It isn't." He said a little louder, rubbing her back a little. "If those bastards hadn't done what they did, you've have never been pushed this hard. It is not your fault." Anger burned in his gut, making his face hard, but he kept comforting Ara. "Love..." Gently but firmly he pulled her up into his lap, holding her close and letting her cry into his shoulder. Rocking slightly, he held her, murmuring gently to her. "Just breathe love... We'll make this right. We will..." He looked up as Mir handed him a glass of orange juice, having gotten one from Thrud for Ara. "Thanks." He said quietly. Setting it down to the side of the bed, he waited for Ara to calm down a bit to hold the glass safely.

Mir smiled sadly and kissed Morph on the forehead before getting up to help Thrud. Pulling out the cat n**, she sat down at the table and started rolling them up. "I think we all need a little help right now." She murmured quietly. "Food smells good, love." She added, standing up and moving over to lean up and kiss Thrud on the cheek, leaning against her and looking over at the sad couple on the bed.

JessieRabbit88 (2:24:19 AM): Ara was pulled up and she pulled the blankets up with her since she still hadn't been dressed. She looked at him as she cried. "If i had been watching him better...If i hadn't let him get so far away...he...he would be fine. He would be here! It is my fault!" She said as she clung to him. She tried to calm down, she understood that she needed to drink the orange juice. She tried to sit up straighter but she was sore and in pain still and couldn't sit up straight with out hurting all over. She reached out for the juice and looked at Mir and Thrud. "Thank you so much. I...don't know what i would do with out you both." She said as she sniffled.

Thrud looked at Mir and nodded. "It does. would you light up one of those while i cook. I need to calm down or i might join them in the crying." She said as she glanced at them too. "I hate seeing something this bad happening to good couples." she said as she piles the food on plates for everyone.

out of ideas 42 (2:32:52 AM): Morph shook his head as he handed Ara the juice. "How many times have we let him run around by himself while we were in class? What, you think we're going to be able to keep an eye on him all the time? Love, blaming yourself will not get Elijah back. So please stop. Please?" Morph's voice rose slightly as he spoke, but ended on a tender note, willing his wife to be to not be so hard on her.

out of ideas 42 (2:34:39 AM): Mir nodded once, clearing a space on the table for the plates of food once she had the n** ready. Locating a lighter, she lit the end of one and took a drag, holding it on for a moment with her eyes closed before moving into the kitchen to hand it to Thrud and help bring the food into the other room.

JessieRabbit88 (2:42:46 AM): Ara looked at him and sighed. She took a drink and looked at the others. She wanted to eat, she was so hungry, but she hurt to sit up. "I...i know love but i...i don't know what else to do but think it was my fault. I was with him when he was taken...i should have paid better attention." she said as she sighed and finished the juice. She handed him the glass and sighed. "If i lay on the bed will you bring me the food here? I...can’t sit. I hurt too much still." she said. "And...i don't know that i can dress yet." she said as she glanced around.

Thrud took the n** and put it in her mouth and held it with her lips as she took a drag from it, letting it out through her nose. "Thanks love." she said around the drag in her mouth. "Foods ready." she said over to Morph. "I made some nice scrambled ones for her and toast. Bacon might be too strong for her stomach right now." she said as she passed Mir two plats to take to Morph at the bed. "If you end up wanting some drink let me know and I’ll get you some." She said as she put hers and Mirs on the table. She sat and poured some sake in dishes for her and Mir and sighed. "This is a long day..."

out of ideas 42 (3:01:05 AM): Morph smiled slightly at Ara. "As if I wouldn't tend to you, my one and only." He kissed her on the forehead and set her back down on the bed, tucking in the blankets and sheets around her and propping her head up a bit with a few pillows. He accepted the plates from Mir, setting his own on the floor next to the empty orange juice glass for the time being. "Which do you want first love, eggs or toast? Or would you like more to drink?" He wasn't going to drop his point of it not being her fault, but caring for Ara came first and he let it sit for now.

"Longer for some." Mir replied, picking up her dish and taking a sip from it. Setting it down, she lit her own n** blunt, taking a drag and blowing it out in a sigh up at the ceiling. Blunt in one hand she spooned a few eggs into her mouth, setting the blunt down on an empty plate so she could grab a piece of bacon. She settled on being silent for now, letting Morph talk to Ara. She felt like she was biding, not moving too far one way or another emotionally. There would be cause for that in the coming days, but for now some peace was needed.

JessieRabbit88 (3:05:47 AM): Ara nodded to him and smiled ever so softly. "Thanks. I don't know what i would do with out you love." she said as she snuggled into the blankets more. "Eggs. I want to settle my stomach a bit. I would like more juice later though." she said as she waited for the eggs.

Thrud took a sip of her drink and another drag as she watched them. "I’m going to kill who ever did this. Who ever has Elijah is dead and I’ll make sure of it. Anbu wont be to thrilled about this either. And hell we might even get to see a really mad Yuuki. I'm sure when i tell them that Yuuki will be over here to help and to cook for the both of you. There won’t be getting away from him for a long while." she said softly. She watched them and wondered how long it would take for Ara to get bright again.

out of ideas 42 (11:38:40 PM): Morph smiled a little more, glad she was calming down a bit more. Spearing some eggs onto a fork, he offered it to Ara.

Mir smiled softly as Morph tended to Ara. "I think we're going to have to share that particular kill, love. You're not the only one who's made a claim on that particular scumbag." The small female chuckled softly. Then she sighed, looking back at Thrud who was still looking over at the bed. Getting up, Mir moved around the table and lithely planted herself in Thrud's lap, feeling a small need for some physical contact herself.

out of ideas 42 (11:50:01 PM): Ara nodded to him and smiled ever so softly. "Thanks. I don't know what i would do with out you love." she said as she snuggled into the blankets more. "Eggs. I want to settle my stomach a bit. I would like more juice later though." she said as she waited for the eggs.
Thrud took a sip of her drink and another drag as she watched them. "Imp going to kill who ever did this. Who ever has Elijah is dead and I’ll make sure of it. Anbu wont be to thrilled about this either. And hell we might even get to see a really mad Yuuki. I'm sure when i tell them that Yuuki will be over here to help and to cook for the both of you. There won’t be getting away from him for a long while." she said softly. She watched them and wondered how long it would take for Ara to get bright again.

Morph smiled a little more, glad she was calming down a bit more. Spearing some eggs onto a fork, he offered it to Ara.

Mir smiled softly as Morph tended to Ara. "I think we're going to have to share that particular kill, love. You're not the only one who's made a claim on that particular scumbag." The small female chuckled softly. Then she sighed, looking back at Thrud who was still looking over at the bed. Getting up, Mir moved around the table and lithely planted herself in Thrud's lap, feeling a small need for some physical contact herself.

JessieRabbit88 (12:31:00 AM): Thrud wrapped her arms around Mir as she climbed into her lap and nuzzled her. "I know. I think that...i might have to leave you here with Ara and take him with me. Then i wont have to try and figure out how to bring the p***k home alive to him so that he can finish him off." she said as she closed her eyes and took another drag from her joint. "Mir I think that we should tell Anbu any Yuuki tomorrow. Bringing them in on this would be too hard for Ara." she said as she kissed Mirs neck and held her close.

Ara took the egg off the fork and smiled. "Oh those are good." she said softly as she snuggled against Morph and smiled. "That was really good i do think i want more even though my mind says i don't need it." she said softly. She was half of her self again. She didn't know what to think anymore and she didn't know if she should eat food or not...Should she be alive if she wasn't going to be a good mother? If she was just going to loose or...kill her children, did she need to be a mother.

out of ideas 42 (12:46:25 AM): Mir gave a little grin, sliding her arms around Thrud as well. "Break his legs for me, okay?" She said, smiling a little wider. With her free hand she took the joint from Thrud and took a pull on it herself, not wanting to pull away from Thrud to get her own off the table. Mir sighed, a happier sound this time, the company and the chemicals working their way into her system despite the reason for both. She kissed Thrud for a moment, then set Thrud's joint on the table (within reach this time) and wrapped her arms around her partner again, nuzzling into the side of the Maine Coon's neck.
Morph's stomach grumbled a bit as Ara snuggled him, the catnip fumes in the air already calming him a bit. "Well then you should have a bit more." He said, eating a bit off of Ara's plate and giving her a teasing look. Then he sobered again, reading the little signs in Ara's face that said she was upset again. "Promise you'll talk to me about it, okay?" He murmured quietly to her, leaning closer to her ear. "I love you, you know that?"

JessieRabbit88 (12:53:31 AM): Ara looked at him and reached up shakily to touch his face. "Yes, i know. I'll...tell you later when i have the energy to talk about it more." she said as she opened her mouth for another bite of egg. "After this bite if you help me up to sit for a bit I’ll eat some toast." she said softly.
Thrud looked at them again and sighed. Ara was going to be hard to snap out of this. He was going to have a lot of work ahead of him. She nuzzled Mir and sighed. "I'll do more then that for you love." she said as she kissed her softly. She reached around Mir and took up a bit of toast and ate it happily.

out of ideas 42 (1:16:06 AM): "Sure thing." Morph nodded. "I'll go get some more pillows to prop you up further. That might make it easier on you." He kissed her forehead then decided he'd stay where he was so he didn't move Ara too much. he looked up at Thrud and Mir and smiled a little at seeing them sharing a cushion. "Could one of you get a few more pillows please? And is really good bacon by the way. Thanks for cooking it Thrud." Morph added, reaching down to his plate to get a piece.

"I'll get them." Mir said, kissing Thrud on the cheek. Extracting herself from Thrud's lap, she got the pillows from the closet and set them down next to Morph, then moved back to the table and picked up her plate, eating some more eggs and a piece of bacon by the time she settled back down in Thrud's lap.

JessieRabbit88 (1:34:21 AM): Thrud smiled at her and watched her get the pillows. She finished her food and took another hit from her joint and then downed her cup of sake. She welcomed Mir back into her lap happily and nuzzled her. "Thanks." she said softly as she closed her eyes and just enjoyed holding her Mir.

Ara smiled at everyone and looked over to see a shirt on the bed, one she had taken off before they had left to find Elijah. She blushed a little. "Love could you help me get that on so I’m not...so naked when i sit up?" she asked as she slowly started to sit up with some of his help.

out of ideas 42 (1:47:47 AM): Mir finished the last of her eggs and put her plate on top of Thrud's, leaning a little further to grab her own joint from before, which had been smoldering slowly, adding it's fumes to the room. The she settled back in, joint in one hand with the other around Thrud.

Morph nodded, helping her half way into the shirt so that she could slide it down the rest of the way as he propped her up a pillow at a time. He fussed a little, adjusting things a bit here and there. "Still feeling alright? You’re back okay?"

"Promise we won't look, Ara." Mir teased, closing her eyes and rubbing her nose against Thrud's.

JessieRabbit88 (1:55:40 AM): Thrud smiled and nodded. "Promise." she said as she closed her eyes and nuzzled Mir back, kissing her nose softly as she tried to calm her self some more. She was going to have to smoke a lot more to stop feeling so mad. She sighed and held Mir a little tighter. "When we try your never leaving the house got it?" she said stubbornly.

Ara let him help get the shirt started and when he moved to get the pillows ready she leaned forward with a small wince and pulled the shirt the rest of the way down. "Thanks love. You’re so nice to me." She said as she wrapped her arms around Morphs middle and hugged him before reaching for the toast with a small smile. All the n** fumes in their apartment were getting to her and she was feeling better. The pain was even going away a bit. she kissed him, and even though the sadness was still there in her eyes she was at least trying to be outwardly happy.

out of ideas 42 (2:03:48 AM): Mir grinned, her eyes still closed. "Only if you don't b***h when I get stir crazy." She teased, nipping at the corner of Thrud's ear. Then she nuzzled against the side of Thrud's neck, kissing her gently so that she understood Mir wasn't ignoring her feelings. "I will if it makes you feel better, though." She added softly, shifting in Thrud's lap so that her legs were around Thrud's waist.

Morph smiled, holding out the toast so that Ara could reach it easier. Then he settled in next to her on the bed and brought up his own plate so he could start eating. "You can look now." He said, smiling a little at Thrud and Mir.

JessieRabbit88 (2:09:32 AM): Thrud smiled at her and laughed softly. "Deal. It will because...i couldn't bare to have you loose our kits. She’s so young and already stronger then me...I wouldn't know what to do if any of ours didn't make it. I hadn't thought of it with Anbu and Yuuki's kits...i had done yoga, no running just long walks and swimming. But i had sparred lightly with Anbu when i could. So active still...but this...Mir i wouldn't be able to do anything if that was me. I couldn't eat i would be in bed all the time. I couldn't be sitting there feeling ok with it." She looked over Mirs shoulder and wondered how one so small and beautiful could be so strong already.

Ara smiled at Morph and nibbled at her toast. She glanced at Mir and Thrud and smiled. She was glad they were hear. She was sad that she had caused them sadness by having this happen and didn't like that she was making them upset but she knew they wouldn't have it any other way.

out of ideas 42 (2:19:48 AM): Mir pulled back a little and moved so that her face was in front of Thrud's again. "I won't let anything happen to our babies. I'll go on maternity leave or something, and Aiden can just suck it. I watched his brats so he can't say anything about it." Mir grumped a little, taking another drag on her joint. Then she looked back at Thrud, gazing into her eyes. "We'll be fine. I promise. What ever it takes." She gave Thrud a serious look.

Morph put an arm around Ara's shoulders, settling back on the edge of the pile of pillows. He inhaled slowly, the catnip calming him greatly. He smiled slightly, remembering how he had walked around in a perpetual contact high before he had settled down with Ara. He leaned back and closed his eyes, idly munching on a piece of bacon, quietly glad of not having to think very much at the moment.

JessieRabbit88 (2:24:53 AM): When Ara finished her toast she snuggled into his side and closed her eyes to sleep. She was so tired and just wanted to try and forget this again. Forget it ever happened! This was horrible and she hated this but she had to be strong for Morph...for her self. She clung to him and sighed softly as she fell asleep snuggled into his chest.

Thrud nodded and held her close, kissing her as she spoke. "Good. If he has a problem with it I’ll kick his a**." she said as she nuzzled into Mir and sighed. She was feeling so sad for everything that she just needed to get drunk and try to feel better. She leaned forward with Mir and poured some more sake, downing it with a smile before offering a dish to Mir.

out of ideas 42 (2:46:28 AM): Morph cracked open an eye and glanced down at Ara. "You push yourself too hard, love." He murmured to here quietly, smiling as her breathing became more even. Opening his eyes a bit more he looked over at Thrud and Mir. "You two going to be alright? There's enough extra stuff for you if you want to stay longer."

Mir smiled over at Morph. "Thanks Hun. We'll try to keep it down." Looking back at Thrud she grinned and accepted the offered sake. “That I'd like to see." She murmured. "I think you could give hi a good thrashing." Thrud drank a good measure of the sake in her bowl it before holding it out to be filled again.
Morph watched Mir and Thrud for a few moments longer before closing his eyes again an settled against Ara.

JessieRabbit88 (2:50:11 AM): Thrud watched them drift off to sleep. "It’s been a long month for them. An i know i could give him a thrashing. I'd like to see it too. But i love beating those that think they are good. Cause i know I’m better." she said with a smirk as she poured herself some more Sake. "How long do you want to stay? Or did you like my idea of you staying here with Ara and Morph and i go off to kill some bastards?" she asked with a smile as she kissed Mir and nuzzled her neck, leaving drunk happy kisses over her skin.

out of ideas 42 (2:56:08 AM): "I think it has merits." Mir said, purring quietly at the attention. "Someone has to stay and make sure Yuui doesn't go overboard with cooking and fussing." She took a pensive drag on her joint, leaning over a little so that Thrud could keep kissing her. "I think Morph might have a better time at it helping Ara back on her feet, but I think a little firmness couldn't hurt either." Mir smiled, leaning in to kiss Thrud's neck.

JessieRabbit88 (2:58:44 AM): Thrud nodded and nuzzled her and sighed softly. "Yes i think he would like that more. But i think he wants to find Elijah and hurt the b*****d that took him as well. I can see why of course. If someone stole away my Hiro or any of the others and i lost my kits trying to get them back i know you would want vengeance." she said as she looked up at Mir and smiled. Wouldn’t you?" she said kissing her softly.

JessieRabbit88 (10:22:53 PM): Thrud nodded and nuzzled her and sighed softly. "Yes i think he would like that more. But i think he wants to find Elijah and hurt the b*****d that took him as well. I can see why of course. If someone stole away my Hiro or any of the others and i lost my kits trying to get them back i know you would want vengeance." she said as she looked up at Mir and smiled. Wouldn’t you?" she said kissing her softly.

out of ideas 42 (11:24:12 PM): Mir smiled softly. "I don't think I'd stop until I'd put a knife into the b*****d's ribs and then some." She grinned a bit more, showing fang, then softened, kissing Thrud and snuggling into her. "And I know you'd be the same." Purring quietly, Mir settled her head on Thrud's chest. "I love you."

JessieRabbit88 (11:43:24 PM): Thrud smiled and nuzzled her. "Love you too!" She said as she held her tight. "shall we go for a walk and leave them to sleep for a bit or should we go tell the head of this area, Alice i think, that we'll be here to keep an eye on her and that she won’t be in class for a bit." she said with a smile.

out of ideas 42 (11:52:46 PM): Mir smiled, head still tucked against Thrud. "I suppose we should tell her, but we can do that tomorrow. A walk sounds nice. But I suppose we should clean up a bit first though, don't you think?" She added, peeling herself from her partner a bit to glance at the dishes still on the table. The n** was still smoldering slightly, leaving wispy trails up to the ceiling.
