Ailein happily sketched away watching as his 'daughter' enjoyed herself in the falling snow. She was dressed in a tobaggon that was was rainbow colored along with a matching scarf. He fluffy jacket was brown matched the pants that he'd struggled to put on her. Dolly looked up, her ears lifting slightly. "Mama? Wanna pway?" She asked innocently.
"Not ri-r-right now..." He replied with a sad smile. "D-D-Drawing."
She'd come to learn that 'drawing' meant he was busy so she sat down, building up a mountain of snow. She was bored even though the white stuff was fun. Her fur allowed her to stay warmer in the weather.

It had been merely days since Kiemna had grown, and he had already started working on Ghast's nerves. The knightly child was even a lot more entergetic now that he had been able to walk, and he was clibing on everything!
But today was a better day for Ghast, since Shinju had decided on Ghast's behalf that it would be a good day to take Kiemna to the park. The boy had already begun to run around rapidly, before bumping into a yellow, fuzzy mass of a child.
"Ha... Hallo!" The boy said sheepishly, giving a small smile.

Dolly blinked as she was knocked over and looked around. Her hat fell off revealing her *very* large ears. She looked up at him and frowned. "Fell down..." She pointed to the mountain she had been working on and sniffed.
Ailein blinked a few times and looked up. He put down his sketch book and went to her side. "D-D-D-Dolly?" He asked with a frown. "A-A-Are y-y-you o-o-okay?"
She got up as if nothing happened and looked a the new boy. There was an excited squeal from her as she reached for the tips of his metal hair. "Pweaty! Pway!"
Ailein stood unsurely and looked around. "Wh-wh-where are y-y-your pa-parents?" He asked the boy.

"Ah!" Ghast had finally seemed to catch up, huffing and puffing as if it took a great amount of energy to catch up with Kiemna- which it did. Looking to the godling, then to the other two, he guessed that Ki had disturbed them. "Erm..." He started shyly, reaching for the back of his head with his hand. "...I'm... Sorry if he bothered you..."
Kiemna's smile faded when he saw that he had knocked down the mountain the other child had made. Looking back to her, his mile returned again when she reached for his hair. "My han's are tha' way, too!" He bragged, showing her his steel fingertips.

"N-No! H-H-He di-d-didn't!" Ailein said quickly with a smile. "I j-just wa-wanted to ma-make su-sure h-h-he wa-wasn't lost." Ailein smiled wearing a pair of gloves and a green dress. His hair was done up by a pick ribbon and it was hard to distinguish if he was male or female.
Dolly let out a squeal and grabbed at his hand, touching it with her fingers and making soft cooing noises in delight. "Pweaty! Mine!" She said suddenly tugging it toward herself. She liked how it was shinny and reflected her rainbow colors.

The man blinked at the woman's stuttering- Was she scared of him? Looking at the two kids, he affirmed that Kiemna was busy... But what was he talking to? Every time he was introduced to a godling, he had been with someone who knew a lot about Tison, but now he couldn't help but have to ask. "Urm... Ma'am... Is that a... Tison child?" He hoped that wouldn't insult her, but he wanted to make sure.
"Gwah!" Kiemna managed to blurt out as he was thrust towards the girl. The surprise of the movement had cost the boy to drop his sword, but he knew enough knight's code to know not to be rude to girls, so he didn't pick it up.

"T-Tison? Oh! Y-Y-Yes..." Ailein blushed a deep red. "W-well see... I'm n-n-not... a wo-wo-woman." He felt embarrassed as he looked down. He really had to stop wearing dresses in public. He looked over to Dolly and frowned. "D-D-Don't D-D-Dolly!" He scolded.
Dolly let the boy's hand go and blinked with a smile. "Pwaying!" She answered then looked down at the weapon. Her eyes widened as she sat down right in the snow and played with the feathers at the end. "Mine?" She asked softly.

...Whoa.
Ghast blinked again as the man explained he was not a woman, covering to bottom half of his face so he would not see his own scarlet cheeks. "Oh! I'm... I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it!" Ghast raised his other hand as if to ward off any negative words the other man may have replied with. "I..." He shook his head.
"N-No...! No' yours... Miss..." Kiemna turned the very same shade as his gaurdian, but he still wouldn't stop her. If she somehow managed to touch the metal around his eyes, they would be warmer than the rest of his face.

"Its fi-f-fine." Ailein smiled warmly. "I g-g-get it a-all the ti-time." He dismissed it with a wave of his hand and picked up his sketchbook, shaking the snow off it. I'm A-A-Ail-Ailein! Th-This is my da-da-daughter D-D-Dolly, sh-she's the Go-Goddess of C-C-Cute."
Dolly toyed with the feathers and nibbled on them. She found out they didn't taste good and started to use the wooden sword to draw in the snow. She looked up at him in confusion. "No pway wif toy?" She asked looking down at the item.

"Ah... O-ok..." Ghast smiled, but it was more sheepish and embarrassed. He took his hand from is face and placed it on his shoulder. "I'm sorry, though, Ailein...."
He gave the man a polite bow. "I'm Ghast, and that chivalrous knight over there's name is Kiemna. He's the God of metal." The man looked Dolly over, smiling. "Cute? She's adorable. Kiemna's a divine terror." Ghast heaved a sigh.
"Ahh.... No, you ca' play with i'!" Kiemna finally said, giving the girl a confidant smile. She wasn't really destroying it, so it would be fine.

"Ghast...?" He questioned with a blink of his large honey eyes. He pushed up his glasses. "I-I-I'm v-v-very p-plea-pleased to m-m-meet you!" He gave a quick bow. He glanced over at Kiemna and chuckled. "D-D-Dolly ha-has her mo-mom-mo--ti-times..." He gave up on the word and sighed slightly along with Ghast.
Dolly, who was curious as to what the wooden toy was, held it up to its owner. "Whatsit?" She questioned sticking her free thumb into her mouth. She fluffed up her fur slightly and wiggled her large rabbit-like feet.

The man raised his eyebrows as he tried to decypher what the man was trying to say. Was he still scared of him? Not many people stuttered like him and were happy. "Are..." Ghast started to ask if the man was okay, but he bit his lip as to avoid more embarrassment. "Uh... Nevermind..."
Kiemna grinned at the question, finally being able to brag about his prized possession. "Is'sa sword! I haff ano'ter one a' home, bu' ees locked up. The featers are from Papa! He has a lo' of 'em on his back!" He pointed to Ghast, the smile never leaving his face.

Ailein tilted his head to the side. There was a pause then he smiled and blushed. "S-S-sorry a-about my s-s-stutter... ha-ha-had it sin-since I was a k-kid..." He figured that what was what the other man was going to ask about. Everyone did.
"Feavers?" She asked excitedly, whipping her head to look at new man. There was a moment of silence as she searched for them. Tears formed in her eyes when she figured that they went 'bye bye' without her being able to see them. She let out a sad wail and started to cry.
Ailein yelped and dashed to her side, picking her up. "Shh, shh... what's wr-wr-wrong D-D-Dolly?"
"Feavers go bye-bye." She sobbed.
"Fea-feathers? Wha-what fea-feathers?"

"Ah..." Ghast shifted his feet in place as the man finished his question for him. "...Sorry..." He managed to say before Dolly started to cry. Hearing why she was crying, he gave out a loud "Eh?!" sound.
"Show her featers, Papa!" Kiemna demanded, his chivalrous attitude again forcing him to a ladies first demeanor.
"Urh..." Ghast's face turned a deep red at the mentioning of his wings. "... A-Ailein...? Please don't freak out..." He said after a long pause before taking off his coat. The man then brought himself to his knees as blackened, body-length bird wings sprouted from the man's back. The process ripped the back of his undershirt and prohibited him from putting on the jacket normally, so he put it on backwards. Ghast gave Dolly a smile. "There you go, Dolly."

Ailein blinked slightly. "Wh-wh-why w-would I f-freak--" His eyes went wide as the wings exploded from the man's back. He nodded, going completely ridged. "Oh..." He said simply before his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he fell backward into the snow.
Dolly blinked and looked down at her father, poking him. "Lookit! Feavers mama!" Poke. "Mama...?" She glanced over to Ghast with a surprisingly straight face. "Mama fell down and go boom!" She cheered up again at the sight of his wings and clapped her hands. "Feavers! I pway?" She asked reaching for them.
